A Curiosity IN Fitzgerald.

It consists of five statesmen,
including the railroad mayor pro
tenn, who claim to have better
judgment, a greater interest, a
superior foresight for the Inter-
est of Fitzgerald, than the fifty
good, honest, intelligent taxpay-
ers who signed the petition to
open up Sherman and Sheridan
streets.
The petition was ignored, and
the people virtually disfranchised
as non cOn1pOS Doe7atiS.

COIN FISHING

If you're waking in the morning, call me
early, mother, dear,
For Peanuts Fink and Spider Brown and
BricktOp will be here,
And we know where the fishes swim and
where the shade is cool
And where's a dandy diving place beside
the swimming pool.
I've brung the kindlings in, mother, you
wanted me to chop;
I've filed the woodboX till the wood is
splitting DER the top;
I've curried all the horses as my father
bade me do;
I've MIXED the cow and stopped the pigs
and fed the CHICKENS, too.
I've weeded out the onion bed and banked
the celery,
And I've transplanted cabbage Plants and
propped an apple tree,
And have sailed all the sheep and liked
the chicken coop,
And run all the errands, motheE till ] felt
mo spirit droop.
So, if you're waking early, call me early
mother dear, Il
For / know where the grayl1Gs play and

And I've dug all the worm want and cut

And corks VIII bob tomorrow morn in that

WHAT WOULD PARKER DO?

EX-President Cleveland praises
Judge Parker for his courage in de-
claring his position in favor of the
gold standard, but the eX-President
goes much further than the candi-
date. There has never been any
question as to Mr. Cleveland's posi-
ton, for he did not vote for Bryan
in 1896 and 1900. He refused to
support the silver heresy because
his party had adopted it, and Judge
Parker was not one of Mr.. Cleve-
lands associates in that refusal to
compromise with wrong because his
party did. Judge Parker supported
Mr., Bryan and all his issues in two
campaigns. He has said nothing so
far to repudiate the views he then
must have held to vote for Mr.. Bry-
an. He has said he would recognize
the gold standard as fixed by law and
that he must do until Congress re-
peals that law.
But suppose a Democratic Con-
gress should be elected and that Con
gress should enact a free silver law,
what would Judge Parker do if Presi-
dent? Would he veto the bill or sign
it or allow it to become law with
out his signature?
The Democratic party has not con-
fessed that the demand for free coin
age, eight years ago, was an error.
The most radical expression in favor
OF the gold standard in the ST. Louis
Convention was not an admission
that the law was right but that the
question had been settled by a higher
law than that of Congress, by the
enormous production of gold to make
unnecessary the demand for free
silver.
1t will not be difficult for the Dem
ocrats to take up the silver issue
again whenever there is chance to
do so with effect A Democratic
Congress would produce a free coin
age bill. A free coinage bill before a
Democratic Congress would have a
good chance to become a law. 1t
would present such a threat to the
business of the country that there
would be check if not panic.

lishment of the gold standard, while
Us voted against it, The Republi-
cans in 1896 and 1900 and 1904 declared
for free gold standard, in their party
platforms. The Democrats declared
for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver in 1896 and in 1900 and remain
edsilent on the subject in their plat
formof 1904.
That, in brief, is the record and vet
the Democratic party comes up and
asks the voters of the country to en-
trustthe destinies of the nation to its
unsafe hands and its uncertain policies
on question that concerns the vel
fare of every American. 1t is like
asking the owners of vessel, freight
ed with valuable cargo, steaming
strong in known current with a
trained pilot, to surrender it to an I'M
skilled pilot and an untried crew.

BOY KILLED BY A MULE.

Tragic Fate of Robert Mcmillan, of
near Homecoming, Tuesday.
Robert Mcmillan aged sixteen years,
son of Hugh Mcmillan, of District No.
II, this county, and nephew of Or
phans' Court Judge George B, Nc
MILAN, of Garrett county, was killed
Tuesday afternoon by being dragged
by runaway mule. He was a dri-
yer in the American Coal Company's
Jackson mine, and having finished
work was returning his mule to the
stable when the animal became fright
ened and ran away. Young McMil-
Ian became tangled in the harness and
was dragged to death, life being ex-
tinct when the body was picked up.
His body was badly torn and mang-
led and nearly every bone was broken.

AN APPEAL TO THE RECORD.

The history of financial legislation
IN America can be summarized into
the very brief statement that the Re-
publicans have advocated and the
Democrats opposed every act ofplegis-
iation calculated to perfect the system
which now obtains. The consensus
of mature Republican judgment has
been right. The consensus of opinion
of the Democratic party has been
wrong, usually. The Republican
party has made mistakes and rectified
them. The Democratic party has
made mistakes and insisted upon re-
peating them.
The national banking act was Re-
publican measure, calculated to re-
deem the country from the evils of
wildcat banking. The measure was
opposed by 90 per cent. of the Demo
Gratis ir Congress and is today OPP
posed by a very large number of
them, in spite of the time test of its
merits. In 1896 the Democratic plat
form declared the issue of national
bank notes unconstitutional and 50
recently as 1900 the platform demand
ed the substitution Of Government
notes or silver certificates for bank
notes as rapidly as possible.

Tonnage of railroads is said to be off

which is that the badly overworked

Retiring The Engines.

On account of the falling off of bus
mess the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, says the Baltimore Sun, has re-
tired about 80 of it's locomotives from
service until there is enough traffic
for them to haul. This is said to be
a feature of economy in operation
practiced by all railroads. The meth.
cd is to retire motive power proper,

ter eyer drafted in America it is still
the working model for the railroad
lawyers of the present day.
Not ouly was every kind of rail and
support for the rails tested in build
I ing this road, but its history tells of
the evolution of railroad motive pow
er. For more than three years after
the company was organized and one
year after the first division of the road
was opened to travel there was no
settled mode of propulsion on railroads
fixed upon. The Baltimore and Ohio
tried many experiments and each one
of these attracted visitors from every
part of the country, as well as from
Europe.
On january IA, 1881, Mr.. p. E.
Thomas, president of the company,
published an advertisement offering
to pay $4,000 for the most approved
engine to be delivered for trial by the
following June and $500 for the next
best. Among the specifications were
the following:
The engine must burn coal or coke
and must consume its own smoke. 1t
must not weigh more than three and
| one-half tons and must be capable of
hauling on alevel road Is tons, in
Guiding the weight of the wagons, 10
miles per hour.
Three locomotives were produced in
response to this advertisement, and
the company has them at st. Louis
on exhibition. Never were there
quainter or cruder machines, and their
construction shows that no mind had
at that time conceived the idea of the
modern locomotive. One of them COM
municated the power to the wheels
by means of walking BEAM" such
as is used on sidewheel steamers. On
ly one of the three was found avail
able. cit was made by Phineas Davis,
at York, Pa. 1t employed the COM
bined cylindrical and conical car
wheels" Invented by Mr.. Knight, the
chief engineer of the company, and
which facilitate the turning of curves
Motion was communicated by gear
ings, with a spurwheel and pinion on
the axles of the road wheels. This
engine was used between Baltimore
and Ellicotts Mills and was the begin
ming of the Baltimore aud Ohio as a
steam road.
On exhibition, in marvellous CON
trast with the crude locomotive of 70
years ago, is a great modern freight
locomotive, the largest owned by the
Baltimore and Ohio company. 1t
weighs $4,000 pounds and the tender
when filled with 1000 gallons of water
and IL tons oil coal weighs 143,0 900
pounds more. Contrasted with the -
tons, including the weight of the wa
CONS, which the locomotives of 1881
were required to haul, the perform
ance of this giant is equally marvel
Gus. 1t can haul more than 80 coal
hoppers, each carrying 80 tons of coal
more than 10 times the strength
of the old locomotive. 1t does not
count the weight of the cars and can
pull this train up grade.
Not far from the Baltimore and
Ohio exhibit in the Transportation
Building is that of the Pennsylvania
railroad. This too, is a wonderful
exhibit. 1t contains types of locomo-
tiyes, model of the West Philadel-
phia terminals, model of the sta
ton and underground terminals, in
New York city and section of one
of the steel tubes which will consti-
tute the tunnels under North and
East rivers and New York city. In
this section of the tunnel there is
the section of passenger car of full
size.

HERE is what President Roosevelt
says about the farmer, as taken from
his several speeches of recent date:
1t remains true now as it always
has been, that in the last resort the
country districts are those in which
we are surest to lind the old American
spirit, the old American habits of
thought and ways of living. Condia
lions have changed in the country far
less than they have changed in the
cities, and in consequence there has
been little breaking away from the
methods of.life which have produced
the great majority of the leaders of
the Republic in the past. Almost all
of our great Presidents have been
brought up in the country, and most
OF them worked hard on the farms in
their youth and got their early men
tai training in the healthy democracy
OF farm life. Speech at Bangor, Me-,
August 81, 1902
The countryman-the man on the
farm, more than anv other of our
citizens today, is called upon con-
tinually to exercise the qualities
which we like to think of as typical
of the United States throughout its
historY-the qualities of rugged in
dependence, masterful resolution.
and individual energy and resource
fulness. He works hard for which
no man is to be pitied); and often
he lives hard (Which may not be
pleasantly; but his life is passed in
healthy surroundings which tend to
develop fine type of citizenship. In
the country, moreover, the conditions
are fortunately such as to allow
closer touch between man and man
than, too often, we find to be the case
Ing the city. Men feel more yividly
the underlying sense of brotherhood,
of community of interest. Bangor,
Me-, August 81, 1902
The man who tills his own farm,
whether on the prairie or in the wood
land, the man who grows what we
eat and the raw material which work
ed up into what we wear, still exists
more nearly under the conditions
which obtained when the ZEN battled
farmers" of '76 made this country
nation than is true of any others of
our people. Sioux Falls, S. Oak,
April 6, 1909.
The true welfare of the nation is
indissolubly bound up with the vel
fare of the farmer and the wage
worker of the man who tills the
soil, and the mechanic, the handi-
craftsman, the laborer. If we can
insure the prosperity of these two
classes we need not trouble ourselves
about the prosperity of the rest, for
that will follow as a matter of course. 70
Speech at the opening of the Pan
American Exposition, May 100, 1901.
The success of the capitalist, and
especially of the banker, is condition
ed upon the prosperity of both work
ingman and farmer. (The Law of

mentally true that the wellbeing of
the tiller of the soil and the wage
worker is the well-being of the State.
