The Same Old German.

While The Times has never al
together admired Arthur Pue Cor
man. it cannot agree with those stu
dents of political situations who have
analyzed the defeat of the Poe amend
mont. Germans pet disfranchisement
scheme, as the Waterloo Of the sep
tuagenarian boss of Maryland. Scarce
a magazine after the recent election
which did not sermonize on the down
fall of the bosses. German among
them. Even so great an authority
into the same fatal belief when it
says, In Maryland the courageous
attitude maintained by Secretary
Bonaparte for so many years was
finally justified by like victory over
the same evil system
In the first place. il is a matter Of
extreme doubt as to whether the Poe
amendment was ever taken seriously
by the Democratic party of Mary
land. For years the negro bugabOo
has been the salvation OF the Cor
man wing Annually il has been
Incorporating in its platforms some
TRADE against ignorant black suf-
frage, until, finally, in 1905 the peo-
pie demanded action The amend
ment was framed in such a way that
il gave to the registers the power TO
disfranchise any man, white or black
Instantly the party was deserted by
the governor of the State. the attor-
ney general, United States Senator
Rayner, and hundreds of others. But
had the people stopped to think
they would have realized that the
amendment was doomed from the
start with its despOtic phraseolOgy
and the combination of Republicans
and 10000 negroes and disgruntled
Democrats, who were only seeking
an opportunity to desert
The amendment was showed under
by $1,000 majority. The press i'm
med.ateIy claimed it as Germans
downfall Suddenly they awoke 10
the fact that the German wing had
secured control of both house and
senate; that il had chosen German
meT, for speaker and president; that
1t had reelected Vandiver. the Cor
man lieutenant, as State treasurer;
that the son of German was a floor
leader. and that Arthur Pue German
was now in position to- dictate who
will succeed him in the United States
Senate. Last of all. the old Issue of

pc as of yOTe.

A Man of Two Flags.

Wrap the emaciated form OF Gen.
Joe" Wheeler in the Stars and
Bars and Stars and Stripes, and it
will be a small soul, indeed, who Will
utter protest. Let the veterans in
blue and those in gray, both of
whom know what IL means to be led
by his cleaning sword. follow the
cortege TO its last resting place, their
tattered battle flags side by side, and
there clasp hands over his grave
in token of the fact that there is no
more North, no South, but one great
country with one flag, and every man
patriot Let them bury the last
differences in the grave of Fighting
Joe" Wheeler The man of two flags
would have il so.
A wonderful career was that of
Gen. Joseph Wheeler. He was a
lieutenant general of the Confederacy
at twenry-nine: thirty-three years
later he was a major general leading
cavalry against the Spaniards in
Cuba. The country at large still
thrills at the thought of the news
that was flashed across the wires
at that time. Rebel Joe Wheeler
wants 20 fight the Spaniards.
Men of the North forgot the awful
havoc he made against the Union
lines at Shiloh, Perryville. Grand
River, Murfreesboro, Chattanooga,
Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge,
and every place there was fighting.
They remembered only that Wheeler
was a great fighter in a cause his
heart was with. and that he had a
heart of the right sort when he Of
fered himself at an age when his
hairs were already white 10 fight for
the country that had hauled down
the Stars and Bars.
And there was a thrill of pride
in their hearts as they laughed with
all the world wien the press Dispatch
es told how before Santiago Cen
eral Wheeler leading a charge, yell
ed TO his men in the excitement of
battle, Give the Yanks h, boys.
There they go" 1t was the fighting
blood Of the sixties that spoke. but
IL was driving Joe Wheeler to fight
for the Yankees as hard as he ever
fought against them.
