A MOMENTOUS DECISION

The decision on the Northern Secu-
rites case, handed down by the Su-
preme court Monday, is a matter of
momentous interest to the people of
the United States. Seldom in the
past has question of suchimportance
to the domestic history of the county
been referred to the highest American
legal tribunal for decision. The bust
ness interests of the country are par
ticularly concerned in the decision:
the great mass of the people, however,
also have very considerable interest
in it. No American, proud of the re-
public and Jealous of the preserva-
ton of its traditions, could look upon
such gigantic scheme of railroad
consolidation as Justice Harlan
showed would be made possible and
feasible by a decision against the
Government in Northern Securities
case, with Indifference.
The decision, as finally rendered,
will quite probably have restrain
ing Influence upon the consolidating
zeal of certain large financiers who
have showed great enthusiasm for
the pleasant task of making money
out of merger" promotions in the re-
cent past, AS indicating the ability
of the Federal Government under
existing laws to handle the trust
question" efficiently and for the best
interests of the country, however, the
decision can scarcely be regarded in
any other light than one favorable to
the cause of real conservatism in this
country In the light of Mondays
Supreme court decision the alleged
inability for the administration to
handle the trust question energet-
ically and honestly must seem essen
TALLY ridiculous.
ltmay be that there will prove to
be possibilities of temporary distur-
bance to the business interests of the
country in the decision of the Su-
preme court on the Northrn Securi-
tier case, In the first place, it NAV
frankly be acknowledged that the
decision limits the right of a certain
class of corporations to do with their
property as the holders of a majority
of their stock see fit The rights of
property are not to be lightly tam
pered with by any country which has
an eye to the continuance of its

THE CARDINAL VS.. CHEAP POLL
TICIANS

In letter to a negro minister of
Baltimore, Cardinal Gibbons has
again shown himself wise and far
seeing prelate. Writing of the Jim
Grow" bills now before the Maryland
Legislature, the Cardinal expressed
his strong opposition to them and to
the spirit actuating them, rightly
pointing out that peace and harmony
are impossible where such unjust
discrimination prevails. To make
whole race suffer for the delinquencies
of a few individuals he considers pre-
posterous; and he adds that it is the
duty of every member of com
munity to avoid any action calculated
to create bad feeling and to embitter
the lot of the less fortunate race. But
this danger of racial hatreds, far
deepen and more serious than any
hitherto existing, is precisely what
cheap politician of the Nardaman,
Tillman and German type does not
think about. He is concerned only
with his own personal advantage.
What the future has in store he recks

SUNNYSIDE.

We are anxious for the return of
spring, for it is then that our Union
Sunday school will reopen. This
school has been very interesting and
for many years productive of much
good on account of the wise manage
ment.
The latest development in bug cir
Giles in this community is kissing
bug. The bug is not at all Young,
and it has been suspicioned by some
that it belonged to the kissing variety.
1t was not until recently however,
that it gave unmistaken evidence
of its kissing qualities by it kissing
passionately and promiscuously. 1t
is of the male sex and at times timid
while at other times it is fearless and
bold beyond tie limits of discretion.
Various classes of people come
among us some of which attract our
attention to some degree while others
pass by scarcely noticed but the most
attractive perhaps of all is the heart
troubler.n
Our friend George Shartzer, Jr.,
was pleasant caller at this place
on last Sunday. George used to live
among us and while here his conduct
was such as to make warm and last
ing personal friends. George reports
that he is going west right on the lick"
but says he cant go so far West as to
forget the attraction of the East.

HIGH POLITICS AT ANNAPOLIS.

Good oldtime Democratic peanut
politics is on top at Annapolis. 1t is
a fine thing to haye a three-fourths
majority, or thereabout, in each
branch of the Legislature. Under
these circumstances, what the eau
Gus says goes" and the caucus says
anything that happens to please its
fancy. Any old thing" in the way
of political legislation is good enough,
provided it looks sufficient reaction
ary to remind people of the good old
days before the flood. Dsfranchise
| the nIggers 49, never mind how. Use
| the most extreme expedients that any
Southern State has resorted to, under
pressure of conditions which have
never existed in Marylad, and are in
no danger of existing here. Give the
registrars arbitrary power to decide
who shall have vote and who shall
not. Get the window" and don't
be at all particular about appear
ances. What's the use of catering
to the moral sentiment of the com
munity" when we have got every
thing our own way?
That is the spirit of those who are
steering the big Democratic majority
in the Legislature during the present
session. Whether the people of Mary
land will accept the fruits with the
same gaiety of spirit with which it's
its authors are engaged in turning
out the crop is a question that still
remains to be answered. AS matter
of fact, the people have shown, thus
far, no overwhelming desire to take a
back seat in American political life.
and. in spite Of the machinery of the
eXtrssession law, did not elect Cove
nor Wartield by such a ma ority as to
show that they will tamelv accept
anything the victorious party may
choose to pass off upon them. Our
Annapolis correspondence today calls
attention to the legislation which it
is now proposed to enact as a natural
corollarv to the Poe Constitutional
amendment AS that amendent is. of
course, expressly intended for the pur-
pose of enabling the Democratic Off
GERS of registration to disfranchise Re
publican white or black, as
they please-it won't do to have the
registration boards evenly divided be-
tween the parties, since the Republi-
can registrars might retaliate. The
whole scheme now on the carpet is,
therefore, as follows:
Should the Poe amendment be rat
lied by the voters at the polls, there
fore, and the proposed new election
law be passed, it will follow that the
registration officials, dominated in
every precinct in the State by the
political party in power, will have the
discretionary power to register or de-
cline to register any wouldbe voter
not protected by the grandfather
clause;that is,anY man who was not a
voter IN 1869 or who is not the lineal
descendant of such voter
But as the Poe amendment cannot
be adopted until the general election
to be held in che fall of 1905, the Dem
cratic managers feel that some pro-
vision should be made to cover the
Presidential election of next fall and
also the occasion when the amend
ment itself is to be voted upon. To
this end, it is understood the present
provisions for the makeup of the
official ballot would be changed in
most important particulars, the prin-

One Place Where ,ie Was Born.

Mrs. Robert j. Burdette, the hu-
morist's wife, is great traveller.
She has in her California home a
collection of bells from every quar-
ter of the world, and she has in her
memory collection Of odd incl
dents and sayings gathered in as
many and divers places as the bells
were.
Mrs. Burdette says that while
touring in the Scottish highlands
one summer she was taken to a cave
i'll which Macbeth was said to have
been born.
She examined the cave attentive
~. She listened to the eloquent
speech OF her guide. At the end
she said to the man:
SsComc, now, tell me truly, is this
really the place where Macbeth was
born:"
The guide smiled awkwardly. He
shifted about little.
''Weel," he said, S'it's one Of the
places"

The KAISER As 4 PATIENT.

Fortunately there have not been
many times in the emperor's life
when he has been entirely under
medical sway, but the German court
doctors were long since convinced
that his majesty in the capacity 81
patient was no more conventional
than he is accustomed to be in any
Of the other roles he plays from
day to day. At the outset OF his
indisposition he is inclined to give
the doctors endless trouble By his
resistance to advice and his con-
stantly expressed desire to put his
own views as to treatment into prac-
lice. When, however, he sees that
the matter is very serious he sur
renders with a sigh and begins to
petition for permission to do rather
more work during his confinement
than the doctors are disposed to al
low him. lie has horror OF the
prescription of absolute rest" lie
is fond Of cross examining his doc
tors on every detail Of his affection,
and they have no sooner left him
than he is in the habit of sending
for a text book upon the subject
and reading it up thoroughly. Then
he has new theories to present to
the physicians at their next attend
ancc, and they know from expert
ence that it is risky to attempt to
show their complete superiority By
plunging into dctail.-Men and Wo-
