NINE thousand and fifty members Of
the Grand Army of the Republic have
died within the last twelve months.
These figures are shown in reports
made to the national gathering in SEES
sion at Saratoga, N. Y, this week.
The high water mark in member
ship was reached in 1890. when 409-
488 were enrolled. On June Both. 1906,
the membership was 222, 748, showing
a decrease in sixteen years Of 1856, 75l.
This brings forth the sad fact that with
IN few short years the army will have
passed forever from earth and into the
great bivouac of the deed. At its every
annual session the Army shows a lessen
ing in numbers and weakening in the
ranks of those who gather to march to
martial music. The veterans cannot
stand the review marches any more,
there are many who can no more enter
the ranks and must stand on the curbing
and see their comrades marching by.
The thought is a sad and depressing
one. All honor and glory to the Grand
Army members who still live; all glory
and honor and peace to those of the
massive army who have passed to their
eternal reward. May the remaining
years of the old veterans be years of
happiness and plenty, and as they pass
so swiftly from the active scenes of
life may the United States Government
continue to show appreciation of their
service in past years by giving them
every care, every comfort, every credit
that is so justly due them.

A PARTISAN OUTRAGE

That the Democratic party has some
realization of its desperate straights in
the coming election and is prepared to
use all means to win if possible is evi-
denced by the letter Of eX-Gove.lor
Brown to the Democratic Judges Of
election who are officers of registration
in Baltimore, directing them to seek
the aid of the police in ascertaining
whether persons whose names appear
upon the police census but not upon the
poll books are Democrats, in order that.
II they are Democrats, they may be in
duced to register. This effort to make
the Police Department an instrument
OF partisan politics has aroused lust
indi- lation in all quarters. President
George R, Willis, Of the Police Board
Is emphatic in his statement that the
board at its next meeting will take up
the matter and issue positive orders
that the police are not to give, seek or
voluntarily discover information of the
kind desired by the Democratic judges
The Independent voters Of Baltimore
and Of the whole State b. their ballots
should administer to the Democratic
machine, fer this manifest effort to
make Of the Police Department a par
tisan detective agency. a rebrle that
v T. never be forgotten.

Culvert Being Repaired

Employees Of the Bal. more and Ohio
Railroad company have been engagcd
for two or three weeks making repairs
to the culvert under the tracks, east OF
the station here, though which the
waters Of Wilson creek pass.
A short time ago Track Foreman
Morrison noticed that one of the tracks
over the culvert Indicated that it was
gradually sinking and upon making an
investigation it was found that several
of the large rocks forming the top OF
the culvert had fallen down into the
stream. The discovery Of the bad con.
dition of the culvert was a timely one
as a serious accident would have in all
probability followed within a short
time.

WHY Reject The DEMOCRATS!

Mr. German in his recent speech had
the effrontery to revive the ancient de-
vice Of the political pleader of asking
why the party in power should be turn
ed down. Had it not given the state
good administration, and much to like
effect made up the substance of his adj
dress. 1t is puerile to take seriously re-
marks along this line, especially when
the speaker was seeking to make capt.
tai out of the administration of a COVER
nor who has been fought by himself at
every point of his creditable conduct of
the affairs of the state. But the public
should be told, if it has not already be-
come thoroughly familiar with the der
elections Of the Democrats, the story of
their conspiracy against the ballot. This
was contained in the columns of The
American yesterday. The account of
the partially thwarred efforts of the
Democrats to rob the citizen of his
rights should arouse the voters to
vigilance.
A three-part plot to destroy the
efficacy of the ballot had long been in
contemplation. In the foreground was
the disfranchisement amendment and
along with it the special session and the
Wilson election laws and a strangled
bit of political duplicity that sought tc
destroy the system of bipartisan election
judges. Each of these measures was
born in the party counsels and brought

The Mckinley mausoleum, which was
dedicated at Canton, O., Monday, stands
on an eminence to which has been given
the name Monument hill, about two
miles west Of the Mckinley home. It

Enlistment to make it an object Of
beauty, as well as one of MASSIVE pro-
portions and breadth Of design.

BLOOMINGTON AGAIN
IN THE LIMeLIGHT.
She SGstainS Her Reputation As a
Tough Town, Says One of Her
Residents.

/ When the town of Bloomington, this
county, which is located on the banks
of the River Potomac, one and a-half
miles west of Piedmont, West, Va. is
not before the public with murder,
fire, burglary or some lesser crime.
there is something radically wrong.
| Recently mysterious murder occurred
there, the body of the victim not being
found for several days after the COM
mission of the crime, when it was DIS
covered hidden in some over-hc 7ging
bushes along the river bank by two
boys who were chasing rabbits through
the underground with dogs. The I'M
fortunate victim was a harmless old
man, who did gardening for persons
about the town and is supposed to have
/ accumulated a considerable amount of
money which he carried about on his
/ person. As soon as the commission of
the crime was discovered the matter
was Investigated by the States officers
and reward was offered by the County
Commissioners, but up to the present
time nothing has been uncovered that
would implicate anyone having a hand
in the mu- jer.
The last thing that has claimed the
attention of the people of Bloomington
was a shooting burglary which took place
there on last Saturday night, the follow
ing account Of which appeared in the
columns Of the Piedmont Independent
last Friday, being written by a well
known professional man who is a resi-
dent of Bloomington:
/ Bloomington again sustains her
reputation for being a tough town.

tainly put bigger town than this to

i Is years old and an old fashioned shot
gun took walk along the main street
Of the town 1t is reported that some
of his acquaintance guyed him on his
cowboy appearance and he prepared to
/ resent It. He crossed to the opposite
/ side Of the street, in front Of Mr.. G. c.
