II will be remembered that during
the recent presidential campaign
Mr.. Cortelyou, the Republican
manager repeated more than once
that if President Roosevelt were
elected he would be elected without
a pledge or promise TO any man.
President Roosevelt has been elect
cd but It need not be assumed that
he has nothing TO give his friends or
to those who worked unboueht to
secure his election. There are
many Democrats holding desirable
offices in Washington, there are
many Republicans who, TO put IL
mildly are unfit to hold the Offices
for which they have drawn pay for
from -four 90 twenty four years.
There has never been a President so
thoroughly acquainted with the
weakness and rottcnness Of the Civil
Service as The present Executive.

prietor shot and killed George I. Nor.

dered man, is said TO be brother of
Mr.. Roy l.. Morgan, Of this city. Ill
feeling has been known TO exist be.
tween Souder and Morgan for some
time. Souder. it is said, thought that
Morgan had turned the affections of

his life, and he therefore decided to
have revenge on MIN. He was very
angry last night, and is believed to
have deliberately planned his deeds

time and that Mrs. Souder had fre.
quent rows with him in consequence.

THE CLIMATE AND CROP SERVICE
Weekly Bulletin Issued For Week
Of Sept. II, '05

Practically no rainfall occurred in
Maryland aud Delaware during the
past week, but stbe weather was cool
aud generally partly cloudy While
the deficiency in Sunshine was some
what unfayorable, benefit Eresulted
from the dryness of the air and the
absence of rain.
Throughout the Section late corn re-
mains green, and in Delaware and
Northern Central and Western Mary
land the cutting of the earliest fodder
has but little more than commenced.
The outlook for a large yield of corn
is unchanged. disappointing results
being indicated only ON light soil in
the Southern Section. During the
past week, owing to drier weather.
the crop advanced somewhat more
rapidly than heretofore, and there now
seems to be no danger of injury from
frost except possibly in the extreme
west.
The supply of corn fodder is very
large and other silage crops are good,
and the filing of silos is progressing in
all counties. Good second crops of
grass and clover hay are being cut.
A good yield of clover seed is being
realized. The peach crop is nearly
exhausted, but pears and apples are
plentiful and of excellent quality. Late
apples are holding on well. The week
was auspicious for the cutting and
housing of tobacco. which is rapidly
approaching completion with a light
crop. The digging of good yields Of
potatoes continues, and sweet potatoes
are also plentiful and good. The
scarcity of tomatoes for canning is
very marked
In Anne arundel county the weather
during the week was favorable for
curing tobacco. The crop is short
Millet is being cut; fodder saving in
process; pastures and grass fine and
third crop of hay is nearly all saved /;
corn crop good, but cutting not yet
general. Irish potatoes and sweet
potatoes are very good silo filling is
in operation good crop of crimson Gle
yer seed; COW peas fine; fruits of poor
quality vegetables mostly good.

To the Editor of the Capital
few statements given in the ae-
count upon MY lecture in your issue of
September - are not in accordance
with fairness and demand correction.
In the first place many lectures and
sermons are manuscript read and yet
do not lose their attractiveness on
that account.
The main object of my address has
been to place the naked, unvarnished.
historical truth before the people and
| know this has been accomplished,
and has been appreciated by the intel
ligent public at large. And. further
more, the assertion that my pictures
had been taken from Leslie's Weekly
is an absolute invention, on the CON
trary they are the only existing real
original photogTa phs of the flood taken
on the spot by Mr.. A. Leslie. the su-
perintendent of the Art Department of
the New York /" World, . and | have
his affidavit TO that effect.
1t was likewise uncalled for aud
small of heart TO remphasize that the
proceeds hadibeen awarded TO me, for
| preached TO the church here for a
very nominal compensation and it was
understood that / was entitled to this
consideration. 1t is the very first
time that my lecture in the public
press has been commented upon un-
kindly.
Truly,
REV. Il. B. CUM.
1t is not that Pastor Cunz "de-
mands" correction that his eommuni
cation is published. or that the editor
makes this statement. 1t is in Justice
TO the criticism made in all fairness in
the issue of September 13. and in jus.
tice to the members of St Martin s
Lutheran Church who requested the
editor to emphasize the fact that the
lecture WAS not for the benefit of the
church, and also that they deeply re.
gretted it was Disappointing. The
correction that the pictures were not
| from Leslie's Weekly is cheerfully
made. However, they were pictures
| and not stereopticon views illustrat
ing the lecture, as everybody had an
| ticipated.
This paper regrets that Rev. Cum
in his caustic communication has re
| ferred to having read his lecture en-
tirely from manuscript. 1t was no
| the manuscript that was disappoint
| ing. The subject matter was ably
written, we'll composed, historically
| interesting and instructive, but it was
| horribly read. Rev. Ounz either coulc
not read his own writing or the lighi
| was poor. There is no one who was
present who will deny that the lee
turer had the greatest difficulty il
reading the manuscript. and this de
tracted from the lecture.
