WHAT FORCES ARE AT WORK IN
POLITICS..

FoLi
There is not a man who knows
enough to- come in when 1t rains,
but is aware of the fact that the
officers nominated by the next state
republican convention will be
elected. Such Being the case a
much greater responsibility de-
wolves on the republicans of the
state than if the outcome of the
election was doubtful. If the re-
suit was conieetaral the republicans
would be compelled to put up men
who on their own merits would
command the full party strength,
and ssinterests" would not dare to
get into the game. The H er al d
does not assert that any candidate
or set of candidates are being
backed by "in!erests" that are in
imical to the interests of the public.
That is an easy matter for the
voters themselves to discover. If
any corporate power is back of a
candidate practically all of those
who are connected with it will make
their preference SO plain that it will
not be difficult to determine the
fact and that the adhereuts OF cor
poration, trust or merger will sup
port man that is not directly or
indirectly pledged to their interests
is a proposition too foolish for dis
cussion. Candidates need but little
attention on the part of the voters,
but if they are alive to their own
interests they will soon scan the
character of the support back of
the different candidates closely.
Merger forces will not back up an
anti merger candidate; tax dodgers
will not favor a man who stands for
equal and just taxation. Stand pat
tiers" will not support a man for
any Office who believe in tariff re-
vision and reciprocity; corporate
intererts will not furnish funds or
votes for man whom they know
will always stand squarely for the
right of the public, nor will Office
holders stand an assessment for
or support the candidacy of a
man whom they know will not re-
tain them in opposition. You can
always tell what kind of an official
a candidate will make by the char
acter of his support.

Peculiar Aspects Of the Balti-
more FIRE.

Perhaps the most curious feature Of
the confagration is that it was almost
entirely confined to the wholesale and
financial centers of the town. There
were few important facto. les burned,
very few large retail stores, almost no
residences, and only few tenements.
Therefore, the city has escaped what
has been the most terrible features of
other great confagrations,-the pres
ence of hundreds or thousands. of
homeless persons, and the destruc-
ton Of large manufacturing establish.
nents, which are the normal source of
so much wealth to any community.
Thus. q wholesale grocery house may
60 up with q million dollars worth of
stock, but the C outrageous and hope
full proprietor can send kilograms the
country over and get new stock as
fast as trains can carry it. 1t is true
that he must lose some business in
the meantime, but he can regenerate
his trade in quick order if he have the
credit and the courage. On the other
hand, co ton mill or a carpet mill,
for instance, once destroyed, cannot
be replaced for many months, and in
the meantime the employees are either
out of work or have gone elsewhere,
and the business is badly crippled. AS
a rule, Baltimore has escaped from a
great deal of that sort of loss. Per-
haps the industry that is suffering
most is lat Of printing and publish
ing. About nine-tenths of such es-
Establishments were consumed in the
fire, including all the daily newspa-
pers but one. In this, as in other in
dustries, it must be remembered that
the insurance was based on the exist
ing value of the plants destroyed, and
that in nearly every case much more
expensive ones must De purchased.
This means an increase in capitaliza-
ton or large amount of credit, and
the gross losses can never be esti-
mated.-From 1.-THE Baltimore Fire, -
by Joseph M. Rogers, in the American
M onthly Review of Reviews for
March.

Proper Treatment for Pneu.
mOnia.

mOnia.
Pneumonia is to dangerous a disease
for anyone to attempt to doctor him
self, although he may have the proper
remedies at hand. A physician should
always be called. 1t should be borne
in mind, however, that pneumonia al.
ways results from a cold or from an
attack OF the grip, and that by giving
Chamberlain Cough Remedy the
threatened attack of pneumonia may
be warded off. This remedy is also
used by physicians in the treatment of
pneumonia with the best results. Dr..
w. j. Smith of Sanders, Ala, who is
also a druggist, says of it. Il Lave
been selling Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and prescribing it in my
practice for the past six years. 1 use
it in cases of pneumonia and have
always gotten the best results" Sold
