1t is to be apprehendcd that on this or
some future celebration Of Halow Eve, the
corporation authorities of Thurmont will be
called upon to stand sponsor ior some un-
ruy prank of the boys, who it will be claim
ed should be prevented by the proper Off
GERS from doing damage to property. Last
Monday night did not quite come up to some
past records but much Inconvenience was
put upon our people. The intent may not
be vicious but the rusult of their efforts
makes some feel that way. In Graceham
the law has been called on to right some
wrongs done last Monday night.

Many residents of Baltimore take advan-
tagc of their summer vacation in the country
to do their preserving when the necessary
fruit is to be had. The trunks of such per-
sons contain many articles besides clothing
when they take the train for home. 1t is
not often, however, that a dressed hog is
packed in trunk, as was the case on train
of the Western Maryland railroad recently.
The weight of the carcass caused the trunk
to burst, exposing the contents to view. The
tIalnmcn were surprised.

The senatorial question i pretty sure
to contribute it, usual share of com
pleXity to the coming campaign.
That it is not an deal situation. every
body will admit, but the fact remains
that rival contestants for senatorial
honors will and, under present con-
dtons, must 30 % the very primaries
themselves to lay the foundations Of
their campaigns. There i, no other
way in which they can get their claim,
and candidates before the people.
That it adds confusion and bitterness
to a complication already sufficiently
confused and embittered is only an
cident. There is no way of avoiding
it but to elect our senators by a popular
vote. The overwhelming ma GRITTY of
the people of this country are IN favor
OF such constitutional amendments, as
will permit them to vote directly for
United States senators. but the Lords
OF the Senate who assume to be the
Lords of the Land contemptuOu,ly say
them nay. 1t speaks well too well in
fact-for the patience and long suffer
ance of our people that they have for
so long brooked the naughty arrogance
of their paid servants.
