prisoner if in his judgment the latter
was dangerous when at large.
Such a discretion would be virtually
an exercise of the police power which
is inherent in every society for its own
protection. The exercise of such dis
erection would not be punitive in any
sense but simply a precautionary RI
straint against a future commission Of
violence.
A Jury may be justified in Acquiring
an accused man who is insane. 1t may
not be justified, but it frequently does
acuuit a man whom extreme circum-
stances provoked to a bra inStorm.
But even after the acquittal has been
rendered there may exist a possibility
strong enough to amount to a probable
ity that a "brainstorm' may again
overthrow the reason and result in
crime Surely the state should have
some recourse against the peril of such
a recurrence.
There may be provocation for the
commission of murder so outrageous
to acquit the perpetrator. and in the
nature of things such provoca+ion is
not likely to occur again in the lifetime
of the freed man.
But such peculiar occasions are few
in comparison with the many cases in
which the cause inducing the brain
storm is fancied wrong or inf1amed
jealousy or too exuberant egOtiSm. In
the later cases the jury may choose
or be compelled, to acquit. since to find
guilty would be utterly repugnant to
their sense of justice or OF mercy. Vet

IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
Democrats on Verge Of Bitter Primary
Contest.
,rrespoudence of The Star.

sps.ial Correspondence of The Star.
= ROCKVILLE, Md, March IL. 1901.
The democrats of Montgomery county
are said to be on the verge OF one or the
bitterest primary contests in the history Oh
the marty. 1t will not be so much OF a
factional contest as a fight among the
members of the dominant clique. Its result
will probabIy have considerable bearing on
the future of the present controlling In
fiuences, as well as upon the party itself.
The faction headed by Col. Spencer G.
Jones seems to be holding aloof and al
lowing the others to pile up their own
troubles. 1t is said, however, that the
friends of Col. Jones expect the latter to
be a formidable candidate for the nomina-
ton to succeed Gov. Edwin Warfield. and
it is believed to be among the probabilities
that a deal will be framed up by which
the county's delegation to the gubernatorial
nominating convention Will be instructed
for Col. Jones in return for support by the
Jones faction of the program Of the pres
ent leaders Of the party in regard to the
various nominations to be MADE. Such
deal however, will not satisfy aspiring
members Of the faction that Is now on top
who may happen to be defeated at the
coming primary election, and trOublous
times are apparently In store for the clique
that is now In the saddle.
Nearly ali OF tnOSe VINO nave 50 lat dH-
nounced their candidacy for the various
nominations to be made this summer are
members of the faction that now dominates
the democratic politics of the county. The
list is daily increasing. ana there Is every
indication that 1t will be an unprecedent-
eddy long one. Among those who have
announced themselves as candidates are
the following:
For states attorney-Bowie F. Waters,
Alexander Kilgour and Thomas Nj. Talbot:
For sheriff-Wiliiam E. Welt. George w
Mulican, William T. Wheeler William X.
Embrey, Washington B. Chichester and
Leonidas Ricketts,.
For the house of delegates-Andrew j.
Cummins, Preston b. Ray and ]. Dawson
Williams.
For judges of the orphans court-Judge
Remus r. Darby and Ninian M. Perry.
for county commissioner for the third
collection district-Charles M. Williams.
For county commissioner for the fourth
collection district-Lee Offutt. Charles
Veirs, John w. Carroll and Humphrey
Cissell.
The primary election will be held the first
Saturday in August, the republican pri-
mary by reason OF the fact that that party
carried the county last fall, to be held one
week earlier.

GENERAL DISCHARGE.
Rumors Rife Regarding Government
Printing Office.

Rumors are rife at the government print
ing Office that there will soon be a general
discharge of employees as result OF the
institution Of the new time system, lack OF
work and other causes. An official of the
public printery when asked about the mat
ter by Star reporter today said:
Eyes, l believe there Is more truth than
poetry in the report. 1 understand that
Public Printer Stiliings is about to engage
in a big killing of lame ducks. This will
be in the nature of a permanent reduction
Of the force. Should it develop later that
q further reduction is necessary, l believe
1t will be Mr.. Stillings policy to furiough
the employees in excess of the number ac-
tually needed in order to tide over the
spring and summer months
The persistent reports of a large dis
charge of men and women at the govern
ment printing Office has resulted in causing
great uneasiness in the army of employees
there. The statement was made today that
the proposed discharge will be confined so
far as is possible, to those who are classed
as incompetents. In that connection there
are said to be at least 100 typos. book
binders and others who are classed as
"lame ducks" and they, it is added. will
be the first to go.
