OUR INLAND WATERWAY.

AS far as his ability to ac-
complish anything for the In
land Waterway connecting
Delaware and Chincoteague
Bays is concerned, Hon. Will
lam HI. Jackson, up-to-date has
proven a dismal failure. If he
has made any attempt during
his four years in Congress to
accomplish anything toward
the completion of this work in
augurated by Democrats to op-
EN- up this chain of bays to traf-
fic, we have yet to hear of it.
Perusal of an amended copy
of the River and Harbor bill,
pending in Congress, as it was
amended by the Senate, indi-
Gates that it is the purpose of
the government to abandon the
idea of completing the Inland
Waterway, connecting Della
ware and Chincoteague Bays,
as the bill contains two signifi-
cant provisions concerning it,
one repeating all former acts
authorizing work thereon and
ordering the return of the unex-
pended balance to the govern
ment, and the other authoriz-
ing a survey of so much of the
canal as has been built to as
certain whether it is necessary
to build any bridges over it.
Mr.. Jackson's spokesman in
Worcester county, especially in
West Berlin and ST. Martins
Districts, blowed themselves
when he was a candidate before
the people, that he, as Re-
publican of influence. would be
able to secure an additional APP
preparation for the Inland
Waterway, but in this, as in
everything else pertaining to
the First Congressional Dis
trict, he has accomplished moth
ing, in fact. we do not believe
he attempted to do anything
1t does not require the eloquence
of a Demosthenes to secure ap-
preparations. A man who is a
hustler and deeply in earnest,
with enough ability to point
out in an intelligent manner
the advantages of a public work
can always get a respectful
hearing before the River and
Harbor Committee of Congress.
If Mr.. Jackson does not possess
the requisite knowledge of the
Inland Waterway and its USE
fulness to commerce, he could
have employed someone who
did know.

THE RACE PROBLErl.

Governor Warfield addressed
the Maryland Society of New
York City one day last week
several Worcester fountains
were present, among the num-
Der being Hon. George w. Cow
ington, George b. Covington
and John B. McMaster. Mr.
Warfield talked on the race
problem; in concluding his re-
marks he said:
1--WE have this race problem
now confronting us in Mary
land. A strong feeling has
grown in the State against the
negro in politics, because of the
blind way in which he follows
the dictates and lead of design
ing Republican politicians, who
use him for their personal gain.
After 40 years of freedom and
33 years of Acknowledgement,
they stand in solid array
against the material welfare of
the State and vote as a unit un-
der dictation of corrupt and
selfish political bosses, many of
whom allied themselves with
the Republican party after the
acknowledgements of the negro,
because they saw the opportu.
nifty of using him to advance
their ambitions.
"Had the negro shown a dis
position to discriminate in vot-
ing and to exercise an intelli-
gent judgment in casting his
ballot on public questions.
the opposition to him would
never have developed. But few
of them have shown a desire to
improve their condition, men,
tally, morally or financially,
and the great majority of them
are no better able to exercise
the right of suffrage intelligent
ly and discriminatory today
than when first given that
privilege"

The case of the State against
Fred Mueller, charged with having
murdered Jake Woolem at the
Labor Day picnic at Desloge Sep.
TENDER 5, 1904, was tried last Fri.
day, as noted in the Times of las
week it would be. AT the close Of
the testimony, the attorneys fol
the defense asked the court to in
struct the jury to acquit the de-
PENDANT, the State having failed
by the testimony of any of the
witnesses to connect him with the
shooting that resulted in Woolem's
death. The court gave the re-
quested instructions and the jury
in accordance Herewith returned a
verdict of not guilty. The State
by it's attorney, Prosecuting At
torney George M. Wilson, showed
by Drs. Haney and Elkins that
WOODEN died from the effects of a
gunshot wound made by a 49,
calibre bullet in the stomach and
intestines. James P. and H. M
Murphy testified that they saw and
heard more than fifteen shots fired
at a fleeing person by men stand
ing in a ''bunch of men," that they
arrested Linn Mueller, taking a
pistol away from him; that Fred
Mueller was arrested and searched
but had no gun, but that he said
"Ill get me a man before SUM-
down." Messrs. Sam Cooksey,
George K. Williams, Charles At
terberry, Ellis Bostic, Willis Pip
kin, Richard Forshee, Joseph For
shee and j. L. Whitener, each and
all testified that they saw Woolem
run from a crowd of men and saw
men shooting at him, but not a
single witness connected either
him, Linn Mueller or Fred Mueller
with the shooting. On this show
ing the attorneys for the Defend
ant, Messrs. Walter L. Hensley
and D. l.. Rivers, asked for the in
structions of acquittal, mentioned
above, which were given by the
court. Linn Mueller pleaded
guilty and accepted two years
sentence in the penitentiary, but it
seems that the State failed to show
that Fred Mueller had anything to
do with the shooting, and the only
to show that he was
present was that of Sheriff H. M.
Murphy and Deputy Sheriff j. P.
Murphy, that they arrested and
searched him, but found no gun on
him.-Fdrmington Times.
