Charlotte Bronte,s Husband.

The husband of Charlotte Bronte,
Mr.. Nichols. is still living in an Irish
village, the object Of much honor and
respect among large circle of friends.
Mr.. Nichols has had the unpleasant
task of denying some ill-fOunded Cos
sip concerning his brilliant wife. who
died few months after her marriage.
Among other things, it was said that
he discouraged her from writing, q
totally untrue statement which Mr..
Nichols has been forced to contradict
again and again. G. X. Shorter, In the
London Sphere, now repeats the con-
tradictiOn. He is an authority on the
Brontes. and he annotated and wrote
an introduction for the Haworth ed1-
ton of their works (Harper's). for
which Mrs Humphrey Ward wrote the
perface. This edition includes else

The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1905-01-27

The Chinese Minister at Washington in
discussing big armies and navies as safe
guards of peace, la Roosevelt, is credited
with the following remarks:
"Strange as it may seem, the enlight-
ened opinion of the world is steadily
coming around to the position taken by
China with respect to militarism. War
could never be anything else but hell,
as General Sherman described it The
Chinese found that out 1000 years ago
Now, the greatest powers of the world
seem to come to The same conclusion.
With the view of reducing the possibility
of war as much as possible, arbitration is
the method now best recommended for
the settlement of international disputes.
This is a step in the right direction. But
as long as nations are armed to the teeth
there is always a strong temptation tc
test the effectiveness of the weapons they
possess. AS long as there is powder i'll
the magazine there is always danger Of
an explosion from flying spark"

Returning To Wild Cat Money.

The fundamental principle which pop
ulists have always maintained concerning
money is that each dollar should be as
good as every other dollar. A good dol
lar is dollar that will pay debt wheth-
err the creditor wants TO take it or not. A
dollar that will not pay debt under any
and all circumstances is not as good as
one that will The republican party
wants to flood the country with dollars
that will not pay debt ifthe creditor OBJ
jects. The republican proposition is
unsouud and dangerous. There should
be but one kind of money--a debt. paying
money.
All the tendency of the legislation and
proposed legislation of the republican
party concerning money during the last
ten years has been to produce money that
is not sound and good. While they went
out with the cry that every dollar must
be as good as every other dollar, they
were proposing legislation that would
produce exactly the opposite result. Tbs
effect of all their legislation, instead Of
giving us one kind of money, has been to
give us nine kinds Among it all there
is just one kind that will pay any debt,
aud all the other eight kinds are not that
good. The further effect is to produce
the same condition that existed in the
wild cat money reign in this country.
The present proposed legislation in con
gress is all of that character.-Nebraska
Independent.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 81, 1905.

The Baltimore Sun of Friday last con-
tains the following reference to the CON-
ing contest for the State Sepatorship in
Cecil county: ut is understood that
former Senator Crothers does not care to
make the fight again, although his friends
claim that when the time arrives he will
be forced to take the nomination. The
deaths of Mr.. Writ and Mr.. Constable
have left Mr. Crothers with none to dis
pute his control of the organization, and
it is generally conceded that he will name
the candidate, even if he does not make
the RIM himself On the republican side
Senator Mccullough is not candidate
for denomination, and no names are
mentioned in connection with the Repub-
iican nomination.

Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
T. L. Bristow, who brought so many Of
the postoffiee thieves to justice and eA-
posed the wholesale graft being practiced
under cloak of the Department, has been
safely disposed of by the Administration
BY having him resign his Office and ap,
pointing him commissioner to arrange
transportation rates for the Panama canal.
AS the canal will not be ready for bus
mess for years to come, it looks like the

than fgurehead.
