The Democratic conventions in Talbpt

The very special enthusiasm with which
the Caroline county Democrats expressed
their approval of Governor Warfield

a mere carrying out of the platform on
which the Governor Attorney General
and Legislature were elected. how does
it happen that the Governor and Attor-

the sincerity and good Judgment of the
legislators, who under caucus rule have
followed the PARTY whip, than on that of
the leading candidates on the ticket, two
men Of whose independence courage and
honesty nobody entrrtailIl any doubt:
Is there not the strongest kind of pre-

0NE OF THE most pronounced OPP
ponents of the Poe DISTINGUISHING
Amendment we have met, is a
naturalized citizen of this district, who
has heretofore vored the Democratic
ticket. He thoroughly agrees with a
naturahzed Democrat who writes as
follows to the Baltimore News:
'If at the next election the Demo-
cratic party is buried for many years to
come, nobody hut German and his blind
subjects can b. llamcd for it. and in
consequence Gorman's principles will he
buried So deep that resurrection will be
impossible. because every fair-minded
natulnlized white Democrat will assist
the Republican PARTY in not only voting
against the amendment. but also against
any candidate for any Office who sails
under the dusty p1ntica amendment
ration. but not the style of educatrn
German X Co. desire and recommend.
The former is rlevating. hut the latter
degrading and demoralizing. ConSe-
qucnty every white Democratic voter,
who feels himself free from the party
whip, will feel deeply the Disgrace to he
measured with the same rule used for
the negro, and therefore will rebukc the
shameful insult ly voting the Republic

Grinnell June 2.-If the writer of this
column were INDUCED in the luxury OF
headlines this sentence would strike
the eye-keep on kicking. 1t pays COM
munities as we'll as individuals. For
instance, there's the bailiwick of Mex
town. The citizens there wanted n
new railroad depot, but the Iowa Air
Line turned them down. Then a tile
manufacturer wanted short switch
run to his works and the air line
wanted $500 from the tile man or the
citizens. Then new coal firm wanted
their car loads of coal brought to town
more promptly. Then the agent of the
company was accused of having his
pets among the business men. ALI this
made bad feelings between the Iowa
Air Line and their patrons at Mex
town. And then the worm began to
turn. The business men of the town
stirred up an electric line project, sub
scribed money and worked up interest
for voting 8 per cent tax for the
new to-be electric line. Then the
storekeepers got real mad" shipped
some merchandise to Turnback, town
on the Danderlion Line, eight miles
away, and had it hauled to Neatown
by teams Stockmen living in Mex
town drove their cattle over to Turn
back, and also loaded hogs there, this

road commissioners to find out "why

STATE EMPLOYING AGEDCIEs.

Minneapolis and ST. Paul people are
hoping that Minnesota's new state free
employment bureau may solve the hir-
ed girl question, or at least improve
matters for the employers of female
domestic help. as we'll as assist worthy
women to employment. A woman has
been appointed assistant superinten-
dent of the bureau and will have charge
Of all matters pertaining to female
help. The new bureau is starting right
and already has asked from the chief
of police list of every known disrep-
utable resort in the city and every
-,'rcn that Is not resnectahle. so that
the list may be in the hands of the
assistant superintendent, and thus
there will never be a mistake made of
sending one Of the young women
seeking employment to other than u
respectable place. The police DEPART
ment has also been asked to cooper
ate with the bureau in protecting all
the young women who are brought to
the city thru it's efforts.
Already circulars are going out into
the country setting forth the female
branch of the work of the bureau. The
idea is that it will inform girls in the
country who want to come to the city
where they can secure good places in
good families, and the bureau asks
that all families who want female help
and have any idea that they would
Like help from the country will leave
their addresses with the assistant SUI
perintendent, and this branch will then
be working very soon.
The work Of the Minnesota state
employment bureau will be watched
with interest. Its success will mean
the extension of the system in other
states. Properly and faithfully con-
should be capable of great usefulness.
One fraternal order in the state of
Iowa is already doing good work
among its members by a system that
seeks places for such members
as find employment hard to secure at
home. One lodge asks the others to
place the man, and worthy and cap
able members of the order have the
certificate of their home lodge as to
their capacity and character behind
them. The Minnesota experiment is
likely to prove an excellent thing for
the working classes and employers.
