A PECULIAR CAMPAIGN

This has been one of the most NO
cullar campaigns that has ever pas.ed
Oft in Frederick County. Never in
our memory has a Congress. op,I ron.
came and gone without both Of ,ho
parties holding at least one big nou
ing in Frederick, and freo1ently cav
eral throughout The county Whom
the leaders of the Democrat nor,,.
decided for sufficient reas ms nor -
have meeting in Frederick this vaor
the intelligence vas to the R.nnhli.
cans like finding a two-dollar hi,I in
your last winter suit. They Were pot
hankering for a meeting anyhow. We
all remember the famous DIV
white" meeting that they had several
years back, and to what extent thev
went to side track the colored brother
and sister to Nazarite Hall, so that
their presence would not be a menace
to the enjoyment of the white women
and their escorts.
Then the dominant party is on the
defensive and rather relishes the idea
of being left alone. They did Mt
want to follow men like Rayner and
Williams, (if we had been fortunate
enough to secure either one of them
with perfunctory explanations and
oft repeated platitudes.
The negro question and the difficulty
OF finding anything to say of Pearre's
services in Congress that could possibly
be an argument for vote in his favor
from anyone except a strong party
man, were two of the main causes Of
the failure to hold a Republican meet.
ing.
SO taking it from both sides it has
been a remarkable campaign and me
that will in all likelihood not be re.
peatcd.

WASHINGTON.
Legislative and Gem
eral Topics from
the Capital.
October u. 1906.

October 81, 1906.
On the eve Of his entering the
Navy Department Secretary Met
calf has been credited with some
remarks that would tend to stamp
him as AZ advocate of greater
navy. 1t is known that the Sec
rotary has been interested in
navy matters for a long time.
When he was member of the
Fifty sixth Congress he was on
the Naval Committee of the
House, and he was known there
as a staunch supporter of larger
naval appropriations and exten
sive building programs. One of
his last acts on the committee
was to recommend the cOnStruc-
tion of three battleships, which
in that year the House cut down
to two in the interest of econ
omy. The Secretary has also
very decided views of Oriental
questions. as has almost every
man that comes from the Pacific
Coast. lie believes not only that
we need larger navy, but that
we will have work for it to do in
the course of the next few years
in the Pacific, so his appointment
to the Navy Department will put
him in place where his inclina-
tons will 60 ordinate with the
work that he has to do.
1t is known that he said re
Gently that Great Britain had
taken the proper line in the con
struction of the monster battle
ship "Dreadnaught," and he was
the first man in the government
to realize that Great Britain had
really stolen a march on the
whole world in creating three
other battleships of the same
type when the launching of the
three so called great "cruisers"
of the Invincible type were re-
Gently announced. 1t is known
that lie is thoroughly in favor OF
the construction Of the ten il
lion dollar battleship for which
the Navy Department is now pre-
pairing plans, and if he has his
way as Secretary of the Navy,
we are likely to have n whole
squadron of these monsters be-
fore his term of Office expires.
The question Of the trouble
with Japan is now occupying a
large part of the governments
attention lust now. Ambassador
Aoki has made a direct appeal
to the State Department against
the action of the San Francisco
school authorities in excluding
Japanese students from the
mixed public schools in that city.
1t really seems that this action,
small as it may appear to an out
slider, has had more than any.
