The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1905-05-05

THERE has been sorrow and genuine
grief in the nation the past week on
account of the untimely death of Cen
eral Fitzhugh Lee, who was general
favorite with everybody. Although
nearly seventy years old, his was one
of those sunshiny natures that refuse
to grow old, and you did not realize
his age. His was a life Of activity,
m any parts, courage and manliness all
the way through. Many honors had
come to him, yet he was always the
same CHEEKY, companiOnable, and
kindly gentleman There never was a
greater honor paid to any man in this
cOuntr, than when he returned from
Cuba in 1898, and it took big man
intellectually to withstand that kind of
applause from the people. Que of the
most conspicuous figures in two wars,
Governor of his State, and the st
Consul-General ever sent to Cuba, he
has left heritage fr his children in
his god name that any man may
envy. Whatever he did, he did with
all his might, and he died working too
hard for the success of the Jamestown
Exposition. of which he was the di-
recting head.

less statements to the press, in
which he says that $50, 600, 900
deficit is "a mere nothing" that
for a great and prosperous country
it should not be regarded as OF
any Importance and that. in fact,
cit means no more than 81 to the
average individual. The Secre-
tary apparently fOrgets the fact
that so great are the expenses OF
the Government that once the
balance is transferred to the wrong
side of the federal ledger it grows
with astounding rapidity and has
been known to wipe out a large
surplus in an astOnishingly short
time, as was the case in the Harri
son administration.
Of course Secretary Shaw hopes
to belittle the situation because he
is an arch ''stand patter" and can
not sleep whenever anyoLe has
suggested revising the precious
tariff schedules. OF course the
growing deficit gives increased
impetus to the demand for tariff
revision which everyone but the
protected interests appreciated Is
necessary. 1t will be remembered
that the Mckinley Tariff Bill de
prived the country of large per.
centage of its revenue because its
rates were so high as to be pro
hibitory and, little being import
ed little duty was paid. The
same condition of affairs has now
been reached with the Dingley
Bill. Cost of production in many
lines has decreased aud now the
Diugley rates are practically pro-
hi6itOry.

Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company.

The contract was awarded

more and Charles Streets, will be
Ii stories high, and is to cost q

perfect and imposing building of
its kind in the world. 1t is to be
completed in about Is months.

Big Flour Mills Burned.

The mills and entire plant OF
the G. A. Gambrill Manufacture
ing Company, at Orange Grove,
on the main line of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, about
two miles above Relay, were de
stroyed by fire Monday night last,
entailing a loss of about 5000, 900.
The property was insured for that

In addition to the mills, the
depot of the Baltimore aud Ohio
Railroad at Orange Grove was
destroyed, as were the dwellings

OBSERVATIONS ON THE BAL
TIMORE ELECTION.

The Democrats won grand victory
in Baltimore City last Tuesday, and
deserve much credit for the passae of
the loans, which were so essential To
that city's material advancement. So
much progress has b. en- made since tie
fire that it would have been a pity 10
have taken steps backward. That this
was not done, the stalwart hosts OF
Democrats " no worked early and lafe
and proved their interest by their
votes, can take all the credit During
the campaign and especially on the
day of election, the most unfounded
charges were laid Ut the doors of the
Democratic leiders-that they had
sold out that they were only working
to elect their ca ddates, thai they had
received money and were lot using it,
etc, and they zee in the result vindi.
cation. One paper, the NeVS, with char
acteristic will iugness made flariag head
liues out Of the SANDER aud launched
into bitter invective. 1t said the most
unkind things because it looked like
the loans were g0ue and they had to
put the blame on some aody. 1t is up
to it TO make some amends now.
The Republican leaders aScyibe the
crushing defeat NTH which their ticket
met TO the faitaTe of the negroes to sup
port the Rtpn5iicon candidates and
are bitter in their denuacidtion, saying
that Is, 900 negroes did not 90 to the
polls
There is much to think over in this.
About the State there has been much
discomfort Smoug this class because
they are beginning to realize what
Seats paws" they have been made oy
their white Republican friends. Fur.
tber than this they do not seem to
take the great interest ia the fall cleo
ton that the Republican workers
thought that they would. Their apa-
thy is anything but reassuring. AS
one ofthem remarked recently to an
aspiring Republican: YES, / suppose
you want us to get ready and put you
all in office again." The amendment
boogy does not scare them and the
Republicans are aroused. They must
have something to hold over the negro
to keep him in line. The result in Bal
timore shows that they are becoming
more independent of the party every
year. When they throw off all chains
and try to use the ballot as thinking.
Independent beings and not like
"quarry slaves" then will some caste
surround the negroes claim to the
right of franchise and by that time his
education and material we'll being will
surely fit him to exercise it.

Their Taxation Inevitable.
A Washington dispatch says:
With little or no hope of tariff
revision in the new Congress, ad-

evidence of planning to recon

ing from the growing deficit.
The first ten months of the
fiscal year ended Saturday, April
Goth. and during this time there
has been an excess of expendi
lures over receipts of over S34,
000, 900. The deficit for the month
of April alone was 80. 236, 1913.
Secretary Shaw and other treas
ury officials expect an excess of
receipts over expenditures for the
months of May and June, and
the majority of opinion in the
Treasury Department is that the
deficit at the end of the year will
not be more than $26, zoo, 900.
Secretary Shaw himself is not so
hopeful of this, and would not he
surprised if it reached $50, 600, 600
or more.
The cOncensus of official opin
ion in Washington now is that
it will be necessary to increase
internal taxation, and the PreSi
dent and Secretary Shaw are re
ported to be already considering
this recommendation.
Some of the revenue taxes abol-
ished at the close of the Spanish
American War may be applied
again. and there seems to be a
disposition to recommend the
beer tax in force when it was
necessary to raise additional rev
enue to carry OH the war. The
brewers of the country have al
ready apprehended that this
might be recommended, and. by
press bureau methods, attempted
to start a counter agitation for a
coffee tax. 1t is not understood
that any proposition for a tariff
on coffee has come from official
sources, although an attempt has
been made to create this impress
sion.

him famous, and who died last week

as an actor whose heart was IN his
work, and who has done - much TO
raise the standard of the stage and the
quality of its humor. His was the
comedy of the heart aud mind con
trasted with that of mere horse
play. He always appealed to the
highest feelings and put into his work
that intense person ,lty which seemed
to be his by inherent right Stage land
will wait long for another J~tierson,
and the world of art and letters will
suffer from his going. He was Il
great actor and great man.
