apolis last April, on the occasion of his
reception to President Roosevelt, are
proving his undoing. Already they have
been the direct means of his reputation
By the Church, and the way public senti-
ment continues to grow against him on
account of the incident they may even
cause the defeat of his most cherished
political ambitions-the Presidential nomi-
nation.
The Vice President was candidate to
the general Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church from the Indianapolis
Conference, and would probably have
been elected. but the cocktail incident
put such complexion on his standing as
churchman that he was compelled to
withdraw his name before the final vote
was cast, to save himself from defeat.

There are renewed reports that the tele.
graph strike is about to collapse The
date now set for a settlement is Oct. IS,
and President Small of the Telegraphers
Union is coming on to Washington to
consult with the Commissioner of Labor
about it.. The companies do not profess
to be in any more of mind for settle
ment than they were two months ago
when the strike was first called and the
men themselves are ready to quit with
very small concessions if any. The only
practical point in which the strikers have
recently shown their strength has been in
the delay they caused in the cotton
ginner's report this week. This report,
which is one of the most important of the
yearly cotton reports, was lacking in
statement from several thousand ginners
in Louisiana and Texas where the strike
has the greatest hold. The men claimed
that this showed the companies we're not
able to handle even the government bust
ness with any degree of efficiency. The
same thing shows in the failure of the
commercial companies to give efficient
service to the newspapers, but with all
these short conings, it is understood that
the companies are in position to con-
tinue the fight indefinitely while the
operators are on the verge of collapse.

SENATORIAL AGREEMENT.

The democratic candidates for the
United States Senatorship in this State,
with the exception of Governor War6eld,
seem afraid of the expression of the
people and have done their best to devise
plan which, though protesting to be
one whereby the people at the primaries
on November 5th will choose the candi-
dates, is in reality no expression of the
popular, or majority, vote at all. After
two conferences held last week some sort
of an agreement was reached which was
signed by four of the candidates. Gov
ernor Warfeld was the only candidate
who favored the choice by majority vote,
which is the plan wanted by the people,
but his proposition was promptly voted
down.
The principal features of the agreement
formulated and signed by four of the can
didates are as follows:
First-If any candidate shall succeed in
having elected to the General Assembly
majority of the Democratic members,
then the other candidates will withdraw
in his favor and he will be elected on the
first ballot.
Second-If no candidate shall have a
majority, but one of them shall receive DO
per cent of the votes cast in the primary,
then the others will withdraw in his favor
and he will be elected on the first ballot.
Third-No candidate shall be permitted
to spend more than 81, 600 for personal ex-
peuses in conducting his campaign. At
the request of any candidate the others
shall submit an itemized statement of his
expenditures during the contest.
Fourth-That the chairman of the Dem.
ocratic State Central Committee be re.
quested to instruct the local county aud
city members of the committee not to use
in the Senatorial primary the party ma
chinery or the money given them for the
general election.

RoBBIN6 PETER TO PAY PAUL.

The Wing is showing its desire to
hoodwink the voter in announcing in
scarehead type that CECIL COUNTY
IS OUT OF DEBT" and crediting this
beneficent state of affairs to the rare 6nan-
ciat ability and management of the Re.
publican Board of County Commissioners.
The wouldbe heart-to-heart, talk hypno-
Tiers who are holding little parlor seances
over the county are Ginning in on the
same refrain. Last Friday evening Editor
Frank E. Williams and Senator J.
France sang the joyful news to eight or
nine or possibly dozen of the faithful
who assembled in the room adjoining the
Rising Sun post Office to be transported
to the realms of bliss by the sweet but
deceptive strains of these propounders of
the gospel according to the G. o. P.
"The County out of debt, $33, 900 in
the treasury and not half of this years
taxes yet collected ~ Whoopee! Sounds
good, doesn't it. But, alas these jolly
jokers were only working bunco game
in the hope of deluding their hearers
until after election day.
"Out of debt, $4,000 in the treasury
and not half of this years tax collected"
That's what is on the curtain. Now let's
look behind the scenes and see what we
can see:
Total amount of levy $40, 29o.17
Tax collected to oct.r, 72,eo792
Balance to be collected, $67, 3S2.25
Nearly $73, 900 collected and $67, 900 to
collect. Not half the tax collected yet, eh !
Thirty. three. thousand dollars in the
treasuryasn say anything about
all that and ST. 900 nlore-when it is col
lected-being due the School Board.
Last year $44 100. Fl was spent on roads
and bridges and mighty little work done
at that. This year SIS, 900 was levied and
$4,000 of that has already been spent
only $22, 900 left to he spread over the re-
naming nine months, while the same
period last year required over $4,000.
All the other levies were pared down to
the last cent to enable the Board to fix a
$I.o6 tax rate-Board of Health, Court
Expenses, County Buildings, Insane,
Orphans Court, Sheriff. Schools, Mis-
cellaneous, Incidentals, &c., and all these
levies have been disregarded in order to
paw off all bills to date and declare the
county tout ofdebt" for campaign card.
Gentlemen of the Board, have you
placed the county ont of debt when there
are thousands of dollars of obligations to
be met in excess of available funds to
meet them You have robbed Peter to
pay Paul in the hopes of fooling the
people until after November S. and not
withstanding the excessive tax rates since
you have had control, the county is far
from being out of debt.
