in brief: After my first successful charge,
my command moved forward AZ the double

who had taken up strong position on the crest
of the hill in the open field This strong
position was on Hawkins farm, where Devens
and SChurz began their fight. using their
reserves. But wave after wave OF Confederate
infantry came upon them; even their left flank
was unprotected the instant the runawavS
had passed 1t. and hosts were far beyond their
right. To our intense sorrow. those OF us who
stood by the reserve batteries and had eagerly
observed their bravery, saw them also give
way. till the hill and the crest on Hawkins
farm were quickly in the possession of the men
IN gray. RodeS, who saw SO clearly amid
SCreeChing shells and the hot excitement of
battle, SAYS again: He (meaning our forces
from Schimmelpfennig and Bushbeck'S bri-
gadeS and part of NcLean'S) made a stubborn
resistance from behind a waiting fence on a
hill thick with pine"
Among those stubborn fighters was Major

CONGRESSMAN SMITH.

The Baltimore News Of recent date
says When Mr. Smith went to Wash
ington last December he was not long
in becoming acquainted with the lead
ing men of the House He found some
old friends from various parts Of the
country, and these assisted him in max
ing new ones. He gave his whole time
to his Congressional duties, and his
committee colleagues found him helpful
in council and dependable in floor work.
He spoke on the national education bill
and on the canned-goods clause Of the
pure food bill There was no wild flow
of members To hear him speak, but the
seats found that the First Maryland
District again had Representative
who possessed convictions, information
on Legislative subjects and the ability
to express them in plain. forceful Ian
guage The biggest industry Of the
Eastern Shore is fruit and vegetable
canning, and it interests the farmer
who grows, the capitalist" who runs
the cannery. and the man, woman and
child who is employed by the one or the
other;the merchant with whom is spent
the profit of the farmer, and the earn
ings Of the laborer and the many ele-
ments of the population which, con-
sciously or unconsciously, are more or
less dependent upon the packing indus
try Mr. Smith was familiar with all
phases of the subject, both as farmer,
shipper, and past investigator of the
industrial and manufacturing interests
of the State. as he is with other inter
ests of the Shore, economic, education
al and governmental. The Democrats
claim that an energetic, clean and plain
man Of the people like Mr. Smith. is the
type Of Representative for the First
District The Republicans. extol the
protective tariff. and point TO Mr. Jack
son as their exemplar.

CONGRESSMAN SMITH is accused Of
the terrible crime of being employed by
the Pennsylvania Railroad. We believe
that for some thirty years Mr. Smith
has been agent Of the railroad at Ridge
ly. in which time he has seen thriving
village spring up from a sedge field.
As a man and citizen. he is certainly
type of the progressive. Industrious
Eastern Shoreman, and his modest
means do not place him above the
average of his fellows nor set him apart
from them. He was thought good
enough in point Of ability and character
TO be elected 10 the State Senate by
the people Of Caroline County. he was
thought good enough in point of ability
and character To be made the nominee
Of his party in 1897 for the office which
DR.. Gordon T. Atkinson now SO accept
ably fills, and swept the counties of the
State. being defeated in Baltimore city
by the voters Of wealth and culture
whom that other gentleman Of
wealth and culture. the Hon Charles
J Bonaparje was teaching the
sacred duty Of voting the Republican
ticket as a matter of morals. although
from entirely different standpoint from
that which he is now urging upon the
electorate Mr.. Smith was thought good
enough in point of ability and character
to be made Labor Statistician of Mary
land, in which post his thorough and
excellent and broadening work became
known and favorably commented upon
throughout the country BY students Of
economies and thoughtful observers Of
sociological conditions He was thought
good enough in point of ability and
character. to be elected to Congress,
and his service there will be recognized
by his reelection.

ATTENTION. VOTERS !

To the voters in the First COMPRESSION
al District of Maryland:
Amid the multiplicity of issues there
is one SO broad and clear that the atti-
tude of Congressional Candidates upon
this question shows whether they are
really with the people or with the
Trusts. That question is: Shall a
system be re-estabIished whereby the
people may vote direct on national
issues
All the Congressional Candidates
throughout the country have been asked
the question by the undersigned. the
National Federation for the People S
Rule. a non-partisan organization rep
resenting organized farmers. wage
earners and other classes, except the
monopolst.
The attitude of congressional Candi-
dates in your district is as follows:
Hon. THOMAS A. SMITH. YES
Hon. WILLIAM H. JACKSON. NO
a voters unfailing guide is whether
a candidate will promise to restore his
political power If the candidate re-
fuses he is clearly against him II he
promises he is with him
Why should Mr.. Jackson refuse t.?
Manfestly he is obligated to the Trusts
You see it is not question of Repub-
licanism. but whether the Trusts or the
people are to be represented Which
candidate in your district is receiving
the Trusts support Which will re-
ceive your support
For the first time since the war Of
the Revolution the paramount issue is
the peoples right to self-government,
and the issue is clearly drawn

Deafness. Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inilamed YOU have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh. which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by

JACKSON'S BAD BREAK.

If Hon William H. Jackson cannot
make public speech he CAN make
blunders when he talks for print.
Speaking through the columns Of Re
publican paper he tries to throw the
blame for his lack Of education on the
poverty of his father or his unwilling
ness to send him to school. Here is
what he says
II regret that did not when youth
have the same opportunities for an edu-
cation which the boys Of later days en-
joyed
He HAD the same opportunities that
his brother Elihu. the Ex-Governor.
had. who himself became teacher in
the public schools.
Again he says. If had been SO fortu-
nately situated as most boys, you may
depend upon it | would have gone to
school every day | could "
Now. if Mr. Jackson had been per
fectly frank he would have said Il did
not like to 90 to school did not like
books then and do not like them now
began when boy to make money
for myself and gave more thought to
getting money than getting an educa-
tion. Money-making has been my
lfe-work
When | was a boy. he says. the
school house was miles away. II was
almost inaccessible much however
desired to attend the school regularly.
could not have done so.
The schools in Salisbury were five or
six miles away from the home farm. if
that is what he means by miles. but
the school of his neghborhood was only
about a mile away from his home
But here is the queerest part Of all
we boys had to work on the farm in
winter when the schools were open
We had to cut cord wood. get out tim
Der, chop firewood, and attend to the
live stock =
Mr.. Jackson means to tell the people
by this that his father would not let
him 60 to school, and for the selfish
purpose Of making money out Of his
labor kept him home from school
Those who knew Mr. Hugh Jackson
know he was one of the most estima-
BILE and public spirited citizens and
cataot lecsp .ht Mr. Hugh Jackson
would not allow his boys to grow up in
idleness. but he was not the man 10
keep them from open schools in winter
to cut cord wood. There was no need
Of it for he was one Of the most sub
stantial land holders and slave owners
in his section during the boyhood DAYS
of Mr.. William II Jackson.
Mr. Jackson. out of his desire to
make a point with certain class and
win votes das gr,cuspp.d ne iou4ds m
propriefy in trying to praise himself
without seeing the force and effect of
his words upon the memory Of MS
worthy father
If Mr., Jackson's fondness for books
had been as great az his fondness for
getting money he might bae, kaoaa
more thin q, ioss and would not have
had to apologize for his lack Of sufii-
cient educational ability to serve the
people Of the First Congressional Dis
trict in such manner as they expect Of
