THERE HAS been some talk in the daily pa |
pers this week about George L. Wellington, of |
Allegany county. again coming to the front
in the Republican politics of Maryland. It is
difficult to credit such story, although the |
man is better known for bis monumental gall |
than for his fine sensibiIities. His treatment |
Of Mckinley in bis last Presidential campaign |
is enough to damn the man politically for all
time to come, even if be had no other political |
sins to answer for
WHEN Mr.. CARNEGIE made the splendid gift |
Of s26s, 900 to Baltimore to re-establish the
Maryland institute. one of u conditions was
that lot should be providei ~ the city. Mr..
Michael Jenkins, the well known fnancier |
and phiIanthropist, has GENEROUSLY offered to |
W tbs lot. The site is fine one and is Local
ted on the northwest corner Of Mt. Royal |
avenue and Lanvale street, adjoining the beau
tiful Corpus Christie Catholic Church, which |
Mr.. Jenkins and his brothers erected as me-
mortal to their parents.
THERE Is ten times the danger Of fire in win
ter than summer. The ordinary precautions
are not sufficient and an absolute watchfulness
should prevail at all times. The greatest dam
ger comes from the individual who don't
think" He is the one who lights match
and throws II down anywhere, without ever
thinking that he may have thrown it, dam
eerous place. There is more danger to be
feared from the don't think" individual than
from almost any other source Of danger.
Keep your eye ever open for the fellow who is
careless, because he is the source of more real
danger than from any probable natural cause.
Tn HIS inaugural address Governor Mickey,
Of Nebraska, was severe on lobbyists and lob
bying He said 1.-THE bane of every legisla-
latiye body is the subsidized lobby. Vicious
legislation is not the result of ignorance, but
Is rather the result Of preiudicial influences
which ought not to exist, and which certainly
ought not to be tolerated within the halls,
cloakroAms or offices Of any deliberative body
which las power over the destinies of peo-
ME- Nebraska is not different from other
states in that 1t has suffered in years past from
tbe attacks Of conscienceless horde of paid
a rhtainers whose sole mission was to debauch
the membership of the Legislature in the in
terests Of questionable enactments."
Much SATISFACTION is expressed that the
United States authorities are after Mr.. "Bill'
Garland, an ex.police justice Of Baltimore city,
upon the charge Of swearing falsely In obtain
ing the naturalization Of over one hundred
foreigners at Westminster last fall. The Grand
Jury has presented Garland and be is now un-
der 81, 500 bail to answer the charge. Several
Of his leutenants are also in the clutches Of
the law and it is earnestly hoped-ifth they are
proven guilty-that the entire gang will be
landed in the penitentiary. Garland is the
man that Governor Warield positively refused
to reappoint as police justice, Notwithstanding
the fact that he had very strong endorsements.
The Governor knew the man, evidently.
THE WAsHrnoroN Star thinks that Congress-
man jackson, Of Maryland, viii be doing
public service by contesting the election Of Mr..
Thomas A. Smith, his Democratic opponent
last November. It says: 1.-THE recent Jug
Cling with the suffrage in Maryland has been
outrageous. It has had none other than
partisan object, and it has forwarded none
than partisan ends. The law which Mr.. Cor
man and his friends mutilated was one Of the
best that had ever been on the Maryland statute
books. Underit, when properly administered,
the sentiment Of the people bad been, and could
at any time be, fairly ascertained. The De-
mocracy had scored repeatedly by its provisions,
and there was no reason whatever for any
change in it so far as square dealing at the
polls was concerned. Then followed,
under the humbugging cry Of purifying the
electorate, the schemes of Acknowledgement
and trick ballots which have brought the cleo
lions in Maryland to their present disreputa-
BILE basis
SPEAKING OF the death Of Governor Lowndes,
MI. Richard Dallam, of the Belair bar who
was Secretary of State under the late Governor
and who was very close to him socially as well
asoficially, said: HE was one of Marylands
foremost citizens Having been intimately
associated with the Governor from the day of
his Inauguration to the close Of his term in the
Executive chair, am able to testify to his
worth both as q public officer and private
|izes In the discharge Of official duties he
was yer painstaking and conscientious, pa
Hentl& attentive and considerate Of appeals for
execn#v We action, always the foe of corrupt
deals and graft of every form. His sole ambi-
ton As Governor was to faithfully serve the
people Of Maryland. That he well performed
This duty has been abundantly conceded by
man If all parties. Governor Lowndes was
h;ah-minded Christian gentleman. He served
his God and thereby served well his fellow
man His death is distinct loss to the people
Of Maryland"
