1t is announced that the Director
of Census, S. N. d. North has been
appointed the head of the commission
which will go to Germany and confer
on the subject Of tariff adjustment
with a view to making this country
party to the New German tariff CON
vention. One must admit that Ger.
many has been very patient in her
in her treatment of this country
pending the formation of a revised
tariff schedule. She extended the
time in which her new tariff regula-
tons were to go into effect against
the United States, and for many
past President Roosevelt and
Won Sternberg have
held conferences as TO the best
method of settling this difficulty
without subjeeting a new treaty to
the possibility of being turned down
by the Senate. Neither the Presi-
dent nor Ambassador Won Sternberg
profess to be tariff experts, and the
matter has been turned over to a
a Commission, which will meet in Ber-
lin to discuss the whole situation and
and arrive at conclusion if posi-
bic.

Congressman Mudd has been re-
elected. Hurrah This Congress
sional District is again to be repre-
sented in that congregation of the
nations great men known as the
House Of Congress of the United
States, by man who measures up
intellectually and in experience to any
other statesman who has ever filed
that position, whether he came from
the Puritanical chimes Of the North
or the sunny region Of the South.
The people of this section, it is most
gratifying to know, see in him
representative who has faithfully and
effectually labored for their welfare
in the nations Congress, and having
confidence in his future willingness
TO as zealously serve them, have re-
turned him to that field of labor with
a most fiattering endorsement
So far as the INDEPENDENT is
concerned, we have never had any
doubt as to his reelection. We sized
up the situation from the beginning.
We felt sure that while the alleged
agencies of the so-called laboring
classes would politically assault him,
there being no real rea son for their
spleen, large class of voters would
resent the assault and assure his cleo
ton. This has come to pass. A
misguided and erring class in Balti-
more City has denied to him their
party fealty, but the voters in the
Counties. believing that the Labor
Unions resentment toward him was
unfair and unjust have seen to it
that their votes should count but as
ripple on the great wave of popular
sentiment that decided upon his re-
turn to Congress.
Mr.. Mudd should feel happy, and
doubtless he does. He has done
much in Congress for the people of
this Congressional District, and the
fiattering endorsement he has again
received as an evidence of their con-
idence, should, and doubtless will,
stimulate him to greater efforts, and
may it be so.
We, believing that he, as Mem
Der of Congress, has measured up to
that refined approval found in the
Holy Book, "Well done, thy good
and faithful servant" suggest that
he be even higher honored, hence
hoist at our masthead, for United
States Senator, Hon. Sydney L.
Mudd.

Plans have been opened at the
Navy Department for the construc-
ton of the new monster battleship
for which it is hoped the next Con
gress will appropriate. The ship is
to outclass the famous English
Dreadnaught, and will cost inclusive
of armament and armor about ten
million dollars Two plans were
submitted by the Construction Blu
reau of the Navy Department and
four came from outside shipbuilding
firms. Nothing definite has been
given out by the department as to
the details of the plans, but is known
that the tonnage will be something
over 10000, while the speed will be
that of a frst-class cruiser.

Impoverished Soil

impoverished soil, like impov-
erished blood, needs a proper
fertilizer. A chemist by analyz-
ing the soil can tell you what
fertilizer to use for different
products.
If your blood is impoverished
your doctor will tell you what
you need to fertilize it and give
it the rich, red corpuscles that
are lacking in it. 1t may be you
need a tonic, but more likely you
need a concentrated fat food,
and fat is the element lacking
in your system.
There is no fat food that is
so easily digested and assimi-

FARMLAND
REPUBLICAN 4!
FOR U. s. SENATOR.
HON. S. E. MUDD.
THE ELECTION AND ITS RESULTS.

The election is over and with no
surprising results. The people have
with decided expression of opinion
approved the present policies Of the
Republican party and warmly en-
dorsed the national administration.
The Republican majority has been
increased in the next Congress to
ffty-four, and possibly larger, some
Of the Districts are yet to be heard
from, and the Senate will stand sixty
one Republicans to twenty-nine
Democrats.
In this State the delegation will
stand three to three-three Demo-
Gratis aud three Republicans. Two
changes only were made: In the
Fourth Congressional District Wolfe,
a Democrat was elected instead Of
w. w. johnson, Republican, and
in the First Congressional District,
Jackson, a Republican, was elected
to succeed Smith, Democrat.
This State went Republican on
national issues about 5000 majority
while Baltimore City went Demo
cratic by a small plurality, taking the
vote for Congressman as test
"'r- QUE Over the whole country
must be taken to mean that the peo-
pie are satisfied with the policies of
the Republican party as existing to-
day and desire no change. In the
formation of this opinion of course
the vote of the South must be practi-
cally ignored, as principle has no
weight with the average Southern
man, sentiment alone rules his action.
As between hatred for the @nigger"
and the nations prosperity, the peo-
pie of that section prefer TO crafty
personal spleen rather than use COM
mon sense and endorse principles
favorable to the nations prosperity.
The vote in this State is of high or
der. II is clearly demonstrated that
we have reached the parting of the
ways. That whenever the principles
of the Republican party are best in
the light Of existing conditions, the
Maryland voters will endorse them,
and vice versa. Today the nation is
prospecting under the scrupulous and
efficient enforcement of these policies
by wise and great President, and
they are satisfied.
The general acclaim is, the nations
good, the peoples prosperity before
narrow-minded prejudice-the "nig-
ger in the wood pile" to hades.

WHY A
NATIONAL BANK
IS BEST

1. A NATIONAL BANK is under the
supervision of the United States Gov
eminent.
2. LAWS governing National Banks
are very strict.
8. NATIONAL BANKS are required
TO submit to the Government and publish
in their home paper an exact statement
Of their business five times year.
4. NATIONAL BANKS are examined
twice year by experts from the United
States Treasury.
5. THEIR STOCKHOLDERS are held
responsible in double the amount of
their stock, thus giving undoubted Sc
curity to the depositors.
FIVE DOLLARS will open an ac-
count with us.
SMALL ACCOUNTS are especially
solicited.

GOOD WORK OF IMPROVEMENT
CLUB ON FILLMORE STREET
Street Cleaned and Lighted, Offensive
Signs Removed and General APP
pearance Is Better

The benefits secured by the Fill
more-street Improvement Association
afford striking example of what can
be accomplished when merchants and
property owners will pull together. A
few months ago Fillmore street was
dirty by day and dark by night Now
IT is clean and well lighted.
The men who have been at the head
of the movement brought about the
Improvement by hard work and by
some personal expense. Debris piles
were removed, temporary signs taken
down, the street sprinkled and swept,
posts and poles painted and one hun
dred and four arc lights suspended
from ornamental brackets are now in
stalled. There are about eight lights
In each block from Sacramento to
Fulton streets, distance of thirteen
blocks, making the street almost as
light by night as by day.
At the last regular meeting of the
organization a resolution was adopted
providing that the stores of the dis
trict be kept open evenings from De-
cember 10 to December "a for the &C.
commodation of holiday shoppers.

ORDER OF COURT
COMES TOO LATE
Weston Elected to Seat in
Stock Exchange That Is
Claimed by Robert Romer.
HILL EFFECTS DEAL

A restraining order issued yesterday
by Judge Seawell TO prevent the seat
ing of j. III. Weston as a member of
the San Francisco Stock Exchange
Board failed of its purpose by mar
row margin of time, and Weston's cleo
tion was officially declared before the
papers issued by Judge Seawelrs order
had been served on Weston and the
officials of the Stock Exchange.
The court proceeding was the re-
suit of contest between Weston and
Robert Romer as to which was en-
titled to the place In question, both
claiming that 1t had been assigned to
them by j. B. Hill. When 1t was an
nounced that the election of Weston
would probably take place yesterday
Romer at once brought suit against bis
rival, Hill and the Stock Exchange and
its officers. His petition asking for
an injunction to prevent the seating of
Weston was filed yesterday morning,
but by the time the necessary formali-
ties had been concluded and the papers
served the election had been fully car
ried out.
Romer claims that in November, 1904,
he entered into a contract in writing
with Hill, by which the latter agreed
to assign his seat for $500, which
Romer was to pay when the transfer
was made. Romer declares that as a
favor to Hill he refrained from pre-
senting the assignment to the Ex-
change Board for ratification and al
lowed Hill to remain in possession. He
asserts that Hill ran up a debt of
$3.50 against the seat and that few
days ago he assigned to Weston for
$4,000, agreeing to dispose of the la
bilities against it. Weston at once
asked the Exchange Board for ratifi-
cation of the sale, and his election was
carried out yesterday morning.
Romer states in his complaint that
the board refuses to recognize his
rights but that he is entitled to the
possession of the seat on the. strength
of his contract with Hill.
1t is probable that the matter Will
be fought out in the courts at once and
the rights of the different claimants
finally determined.
