TB[ DEMOCRATS MUST
(. SHOULDER ALL BLAME
Republicans Will Not Be Responsible
For Legislation
AS TO BUSINESS INTERESTS.
rlarylaEd Institutions Expect to Be
Protected by General Assembly.
Argue That Untimely Interference
Hay Affect Revenue Of The State.

With only handful of members in
either house of the General Assembly,
the Republicans will be unable to ex-
ercise any influence in the enactment of
legislation. The Democrats have an
overwhelming majority and can, there
fore, pass or defeat any measures they
are called upon to consider. There will
be 8 Republicans in the Senate and &c
!, \ the House of Delegates, giving the
r 'emocrats majority of IS on joint
h. Hot
When, therefore, political measures
ar 'e under consideration, the Republi-
, l-ans, being in hopeless minority, can
only protest, should these be unfair.
The Democrats are no doubt prepared
to assume responsibility for all such
legislation, but the Republicans will see
to it that they are also held accountable
for the enactment of laws which are
nonpolitical, and there promises to be
quite number of such measures of
greater or less Importance.
AS a rule party lines are ignored
when bills of this description are dis
cussed, and not infrequently the
minority decide their fate. If these
laws prove satisfactory the dominant
party claims, and is accorded all the
credit, Notwithstanding they were pass
ed by Republican votes. Should they,
+ on the other hand, not fulfil expecta-
tons, the majority must shoulder all
the blame. AS the Democrats control
losolutely they are responsible not only

IL Democratic party leaders are
well aware of the danger of allowing
the inexperienced representatives to
legislate as they please and so far as
hes in their power will hold tight rein
on them. The average new member
usually comes to Annapolis with fad
which if put into operation would, IN his
judgment, work out the salvation Of the
people. Sometimes his bills have merit,
but as rule they are radical and harm
full and, therefore, must be squelched.
If two thirds of the remedial bills
broughtto Annapolis We're passed the
( code at the close Of the session would
look ike crazy-quilt and the Judges
eecope distracted in trying to construe
the conflicting laws.

Complimentary to Mr.. P. !. Stephen.
In local revolutions incident to cleo
ton changes and disturbance, much
frequently occurs, either through per-
sonal or official reasons, to be viewed
with regret.
For so long a while Mr.. Peter ].
Stephen has been a prominent member
OF the Garrett Board Of County Com
mlssloners as to leave his individuality
Vlslbly impressed upon the organization
and his methods well worked in every
department Of its proceedings. Dur
ing the greater part of the term of his
election and reflections, be has served
as presiding officer of the Board with
high purpose of fairness to every inter-
est concerned and with unquestioned
fldelity to the best protection of the
county's rights; and he now leaves a
finished record that should be no less
acceptable to grateful people than
gratifying to himself.
Mr.. Stephen in the arduous demands
and ceaseless test of this exacting trust
has shown himself an honest, clear
minded and diligent public servant, and
Garrett should treasure his memory
among the most dutiful and respected
Of those who have best observed her
rights and honored her name. By
virtue of his office Mr.. Stephen was
also member Of the Court House Com
mission and when at the last meeting
Of that Board his retirement was stated,

IN commendatory terms and feelingly
expressed the Boards loss.

are breaking loose. They are heralding
the reformatory legislation they intend
to put through regardless of the opinions
of the bench and bar, whose indorse-
ments they regard as unnecessary. By
the time these bills come back from
! committee, is they are returned at all,
most of them viii read very differently,
and even then their passage is doubtful
Indeed, if the influence of the party
managers counts for anything, there
will be comparatively few changes
made in the laws Of the state, especially
in those affecting the business interests.
There appears to be Discrimination to
do anything that may hamper the opera
tons Of corporations because Of the
financial stringency. The conditions
are such that any restrictive legislation
at this time might work damage to the
city and state by decreasing the revenue
and throwing out of employment those
dependent upon the institutions affect
ed.
This applies particularly to Baltimore
corporations which contribute largely to
the maintenance Of the municipal gov
eminent, directly and indirectly. With
the finances of the country in good shape
and everything working smoothly no
objections could be raised, except prob
ably by the corporations affected, to
any legislation which is intended to
jack them up and improve conditions.
But at this time, when the finances Of
the country are in chaotic state, the
moneyed interests stoutly oppose any
legislation of this character except such
as will not affect the work of the insti-
tuition at whom it is directed.
Then, again, it is argued the city can
not afford any reduction in its revenues.
The vast and important improvements
now under way must not be disturbed.
A curtailment of the receipts Of any of
the industries which pay tribute to the
municipality must necessarily affect the
income of the city and also of the state.
All Of the business interests intend to
urge upon the political leaders of both
parties what they term the unwisdom
Of untimely legislation, and they hope
by concerted action to prevent its enact
ment. If their efforts bear fruit no
bills viii be considered which will inter
fere with any of the varied business
interests.
So far as in their power hes, the Re
publican leaders viii protect all interests
from improper Legislation. They will
advocate proper supervision, but will
not favor any measures that would tend
to cripple them and impair their useful
ness. They pleaded for a square deal
prior to the election, and had it been
accorded them the interests Of the city
and state, as well as those Of private
corporations, would undoubtedly have
been safeguarded. Whether the Dem
ocrats with their unwieldy majority can
steer their people into safe waters re-
mains to be determined. 1t is up to
them
The Republican minority in the Senate
will probably to led by Mr.. William B.

brush placed inside of each bottle. hav-
ing a revolution Of 1900 times per
minute, touching every part Of the
same. Then each bottle is carefully
examined, and placed on rinsirg
machine and thoroughly rinsed for a
second time, by pure spring water, IN
der high pressure.
The sterilizing machines hold sixty
nine bottles each, and the bottles are
subjected to steam bath for 20 min
utes, at temperature of about 221 de-
grees; then boiling water is turned On
in the inverted bottles in the sterilizer.
There is thus no possibility Of the re-
tention of germs in bottle after all
this is gone through. The operators in
removing the bottles from the copper
sterillzer use rubber gloves while so
engaged, on all occasions. These rub
Der gloves are never omitted.
The bottles. after the sterilizing pro-
cess, are kept in an inverted position,
SO os to keep the sterile air in them I'M
til filled, and the air driven out by the
water direct from the spring. After
the bottles are removed from the cop
per sterilizers by the rubber gloved en-
ployes, each bottle is placed in the fill
ing machine where the force of the
spring water drives the warm sterile
air upward, the water and the gases of
the spring taking its place, when it is
Immediately capped by crown, cork
and seal cap.
The purest water on earth placed in
bottles that have not been properly and
thoroughly sterilized, are likely to pro-
duce dirty water, and possibly convey
the germs of deadly disease. Any
water placed in a bottle that has not
been steriized is a menace to the pub
lie health.
The big soaking machine was manu-
featured and set up by ST. Louis firm.
1t is the most expensive and efficient
machine known at the present day for
soaking and cleansing bottles.
The sterilizers Of heavy copper were
built from a special design and specif-
cation furnished by Col Truesdell, and
are not in use elsewhere. They are
maryels Of beauty and efficiency.
There is no known method Of steriliz-
ing properly, except by intense heat.
The bottled water is sent away in car
load lots to Washington, Baltimore and
Philadelphia, and its early Introduction
into other large cities anticipated. The
steriHzing is done under a pressure Of
five pounds to the square inch.
The bottling building is practically
fireproof, and is the first building in
Garrett county to be erected so near
the fire proof line. An additional build
ing has been erected near by on the
same plot of ground, "a by 50 feet, to
meet the expanding business.
An interesting innovation is the great
care exercised in providing a complete
system Of ventilation, by means Of fues
carrying off the air from the interior of
the building, fresh air being drawn

states needs and can be depended upon
to 60 their part to secure proper legis-
lation.
In the House of Delegates the leader
ship will probably devolve upon Nr.
James E. Goodwin, who is now about to
serve third term and is well qualified
to direct the minority. He will be aided
by such veterans as William Harry
Pairo, and John J. Stump and David E.
Dick, Of Allegany. Owing to the small
number Of Republicans in the House
the party will not be largely represent
ed on the committees, but in the de-
alterations in open session they may be
expected to AXE leading part.
1t is the purpose Of the minority to
offer, among other reform measures, a
new election law, probably that framed
by the Reform League. This, if adopt
ed, would be entirely acceptable, as it
insures fair elections. There is little
hope Of the Democrats accepting this
bill, which is altogether too fair to suit
their purpose. Thy know that the
change proposed would enable every
citizen to vote and to have that vote
counted, and as they could not win if
such law was passed they will turn it
down.
About the only change they, it is
thought, will agree to is to have the
intent Of the voter considered in the
count, and perhaps to agree to pass the
group of candidates for any one office
when the voter did not mark properly
and allow the judges to count all the
others. Even then it is doubtful whe-
Their this improvement will extend to
those counties to which the Wilson Law
applies.
There has been some talk about
changing the representative in the win
dow, so as to give the dominant party
majority Of the judges. 1t is doubtful,
however, whether the Democrats will
go quite that far. Still, it is possible,
in view Of the fact that at the next gen
eral election they propose to submit
another DISTINGUISHING amendment,
which they will try to force through in
spite Of the tremendous opposition. 1t
would be an easy matter to count in not
only their candidates, but the disfran-
chising scheme. The expense attached
to such proceeding would not be so
great as that entailed at the recent
election, when money was used on weak
officials.
The fact that men who were trusted
proved disloyal was not the fault Of the
organization leaders. In selecting an
army of officials the management is
obliged to depend in great measure up
on the judgment Of the men down the
line. These did the best they could,
and in the best interests Of the party.

New York, April Is. - Instead OF
