great Importance that will be recon-

Corruption In Federal elections. State
courts have showed in a lamentable
number Of instances that they are not
beyond the baneful influence Of ward

Cost per ton of silage. ......... 42h
The average yield per acre in this
instance was 1875 tons Of green corn.
The cost Of the ensilage, including the
raising, which was estimated at SO per
acre, was little high. Consulting the
table, however, it will be seen that it
required four teams hauling for FIVE
days top draw the corn to the silo per
day. This means that the silage had
to be drawn from some distance or
more could have been hauled, but even
at $3.50 per ton silage is a very cheap

QUALITY OF THE sRN1 TE

1t cannot be said that the quality OF the
United States Senate Is heightened by the
elections Of yesterday. Several of the old
nobodies and ofensives are returned, while
two or three new ones are added 10 the list
Buckley, from Connecticut, is an avowed
political corruptlonlst, and NiedringhAus,
from Missouri, has innocently confessed bis
faith that money is the only argument that
counts. Neither of these recruits will raise
the tone OF the Senate. Nor will they 10
crease its efficiency. One OF the worst re
suits OF sending variegated money-bags to
the Senate Is 10 diminish the capacity Of
that body for good committee work and all
the detail Of legislation. The result is TO
throw an undue burden upon the really
able and conscientious members, and 10 in
crease the chances Of enActing III. conceived
and clumsily drawn statutes. On the score
OF intellectual ability and practical legal
skill, Mr.. Knox Of Pennsylvania Is the CHIEF
set-of, among the new Senators, to an &C.
cess OF mediocritY and purse-pride. As for
the noble position OF New York in the Sen.
ate, 1t is only necessary TO repeat the re
mark OF an old gentleman who has been
visiting Washington ever since 1850. He
said: II have no criticism whatever to make
Of Messrs. Plat and Depew. l merely state
the fact that when began frequenting the
Senate gallery one Senator from New York
was named William H. Seward and the
other Hamilton Fish. That is all."-Nep

CHARGES BRIBERY

In reply TO the notice Of the determ ination
OF Mr.. Jackson to contest the election OF Mr..
Smith 10 the First Congressional district of
this State, Mr.. Smith openly charges bribery
on the part Of the contestant In the follow.
Ing letter:
u desire further TO say that am credibly
informed, believe, and therefore, charge that
you expended large sums OF money 10 every
county OF the First Congressional district TO
bride voters, who were otherwise disposed
70 vote for me, either TO stay at home or to
90 deface their ballots by bad folding or dis.
dnguishing marks as to destroy said ballots,
and 10 that end you employed an executive
committee In each county of the district to
hold, expend and distribute your corruption
fund, whose names am prepared To give, If
necessary, in the taking Of testimony In this
case.
While may have gained some votes be.

certain class Of voters, who are supporters OF
yours, lost many more because of your On
ieWaea oHN Saahhhuoi SoAhuptiOu huu DrlDcfY
Of voters who were disposed to vote for
me. Tho First Congressional district of
Maryland is normally a Democratic dis
taict, as can readily be demonstrated, not
only by the fact that the Republican party
has only elected q representative from that
district three times In 40 years, but also by
the figures taken from the official returns of
She vote 10 that district since 1857.
"a comparison of the vot OF the two parties
since 1897 clearly demonstrates not only
that the First Congressional district of Mary.
land is still Democratic district, but your
defeat In 1904 was not due TO the Election
law Of 1901 and 1904.

as returned by the State Board OF Canvassers
was $40, 1t would have been much larger

chased expression of their sentiments"
Mr.. Smith denies In vigorous language
the allegation in the jackson notice that he
was not elected TO the Fifty ninth Congress,
and asserts that the returns made by the
State Board OF anvassers-Jackson, II ,O72 4;
Smith, 176S2-are correct and accurate in

AMERICAN DENTIST TO ROYALTY
once Noted 6lcyclist Court Dentist
In Spain.

Boston, Mass.-Once a noted bicy-
clist George Fulton Taylor, is going
to be dentist to the royalty of Spain.
AS a boy he was tall and wiry, fond
of all outdoor sports, and particularly
bicycling. Soon the neighbors began
to remark on the prowess of that Tay-
lor boy, and in little while he was
a full-hedged racer. Although only a
boy. young Taylor's success was re-
markable. Trophies of all sorts, gold
and silver cups, pianos, diamonds, gold
and silver medals and money prizes,
poured down upon him.
He made so much money that he en-
tered Harvard and paid his way by his
earnings on the track
Ia Cambridge Taylor won reputa.
tiol as a wrestler and was a general
favcrito.
Later he went to Philadelphia and
studied dentistry. earning enough In
the sumner to pay his tuition and live
on al the year round by the profits OF
his successful racing
Tho young bicyclist graduated from
the dental college in Philadelphia. and
went into practice in Salem, not far
from his Ipswich home.
1t first Doctor Taylor was associat-
Cd with Doctor Warren Porter, an
aged Salem dentist, but shortly after
his marriage he opened an Office for
himself in his home, in Federal street.
The young doctor and his wife,
coming to Salem, soon formed a large
circle of acquaintances.
The chance that has made the for.
mer bicycle king dentist to the court
of Spain is a remarkable one.
A college friendship, started at Har-
ward, Is the cause. Last winter Doc.
tor Taylor, to his great surprise, re.
ceived one day letter from strang-
er, Doctor Portuando, practicing in
Madrid
The Spanish doctor wrote that hp
was desirous Of taking two months
vacation and that, wishing to intrust
his practice to young American dur
ing that period, he had been recon-
mended by a friend to write to Doc
tor Taylor.
! In the next mail came the letter
from the mutual friend, his college
chum, who urged Doctor Taylor to
accept
! The invitation was accepted. and
at the close of the two months vaca-
ton Doctor Portuando made the Anne
rican so tempting an offer that he de-
cided it would be madness to refuse.
A five years contract was drawn
up between the elderly Spanish doc
tor and the young American. and
members of the royal family of Spain
will intrust themselves to the hands
of an American dentist, who may re-
peat the experience of the late Doc
tor Evans-once dentist to Empress
Eugene.
