Sc le ocurre al contratista emplear

Como no eXistfa ninguna valIa que

EALSE CRY OF ERAHD.

The Wicomico Nesos, whose editors are
close political friends Of former Governor
jackson, makes the following pungent state.
ment In reference to Congressman VIM. II
Jacksons anticipated contest In the First
Congressional District:
THE charge that Mr.. Jackson was de.
frauded out Of his election is false. He
failed OF election because the people did not
want him 10 represent them any longer in
Congress. In every county 10 the First
District the ballots were made up and print.
ed In legal form. Nothing but the plainest
type was used, and his failure TO secure the
full vote Of his party was because Of the
preponderance OF illterate negroes, who
make up the bulk OF the Republican party
In the First Congressional District. To say
that the verdict Of the intelligent voters oil
this District Is TO be set aside because the
horde OF illiterate negroes could not master
plain ballot is enough TO arouse the Ire oil
every man who stands for honesty and fair
play in politics. The people will not stand
for such methods
ut is unfortunate for Congressman Jack
son that his party is composed 30 largely Of
the illiterate negroes who cannot be taught
70 vote or fold their ballots."

THE PEOPLE AND THE BOSS

In an authorized interview concerning hi
position In the Senatorial contest In New
York State, Gov. Odel said: II will merely
add that, 10 my opinion, majority of thu
Legislature OF New York will do what
may advise In party matters" The governor
chairman also intimated that 1t was pre-
sumptuous on the part OF Senator Plat Ia
attempt canvass OF the members OF the
Legislature In the interest Of Senator De-
pew's reelection without first securing per.
mission 30 10 do from the boss.
There has been much talk since Novem.
Der 9Th, OF the independent voter and his
power In the elections. 1t would seem that
the voter has mighty little TO do in the man.
agement OF the political affairs of New Y rk
We have II on the authority Of Mr.. Odell
that the men elected TO the New York As.
sembly owe their allegiance 10 him and not
TO the people, who gave them their creden
tials at the ballot box. The Governor also
makes II plain that he is not yet prepared To
take the people Of the State into his conf.
dence as TO his plans. He says that he has
not yet determined whether Senator Depew
shall return 10 the Senate, and that he does
not yet know whether former Gov. Black
will be a candidate for Senator Depew's
seat. Mr.. Black corroborates this by say.
ing he has not determined yet upon his
course Of action in the case. To be sure.
He must wait, naturally, for permission
from the Governor.
The interesting and amusing feature Of
the situation is that the people still cling tc
the idea that they are factors In politics.

ity that war Is hell, and 1t is only natural
that some Of lts alter-effects should linger

will be sore spot as long as pension Is
regarded as salary drawn from the gov.

who are In need. General Black will sue

Is said TO be that he draws pension. Gen.
Black is an able man, and will no doubt
make capable official He has had expe
Renee in the Office, too. But 1t lie not al.
together sure that man committed TO the
interests OF pensioners Is the best one to sit
In judgment between the government and

possibilities, the pension department will be
purgatory for the commissioner and some
thing worse for the people OF this country

The American Tobacco Company, one of
the greatest OF all the trusts, IL about TO en-.
ter upon a warfare such as has never before
confronted 1t. The independent manulac.
turers, jobbers and retail dealers have at
last taken the Initiative with sweeping
declaration Of war. Already the prelimi-
nary sklrmish has begun in Philadelphia,
which promises TO be the storm center. The
prime movers Of the fight against the dom.
lnation Of trade by the trust are the leadi ing
independent dealers in New York. They
say they have been driven into the fight by
