Democratic Conference.

The democratic conference, called TO
meet in Baltimore on Tuesday, by some
of the big ones of the political puddle,
for the purpose of finding who's who and
what's what in the much mixed affairs of
the party, relative to State ticket, de-
cided not to usurp the rights of the forth
coming State convention by selecting a
man for Governor, but adopted resolu-
ton defining the kind of a man wanted.
Probably the cabalistic Cor skidoo) num-
her of 20. which was the date of the
meeting. had a tendency to defer the con-
ference from selecting man, fearing the
hoodoo at election time, at any rate after
three hours of debate the party, or at
least the rank and file Of it, is apparently
no nearer knowing who its candidate for
Governor will be than before.
Governor War6eld aroused the ire OF
the Organization" leaders because he
told the truth in his speech, when, in de-
claring he had had his days, he asserted
that if some other men in the party who
had for thirty years or more been re-
ceIving party honors aud welding party
power should recognize that they too
had had their day, the party would be
better off This disagreeable truth was
not relished by quite number to whom
it applies, and as consequence the Gov
ernor came in for considerable censure
lint the fact remains that he told the
truth for all that.
There were also several other little in.
cidents which tended to show that things
are not as harmonious as they might be.
The resolution adopted by the con.
ference declares the kind of man wanted
for a candidate is one of strong moral
and intellectual qualities, with vote.

sonal magnetism. which will commend

A Growing Deficit.

The County Commissioners, at their
meeting last week, borrowed six thousand
dollars additional 10 meet the accumulated
bills for last year on their files, thus
raising the amount of their notes in bank
to twenty four thousand dollars, instead
of eighteen thousand, the amount stated
at the time of the levy. 1t is safe to say
that there will be at least six thousand
dollars more of these bills, making total
of twelve thousand dollars for which no
provision whatever was made in the levy.
At the same meeting, appropriations
amounting to seventeen hundred aud
fifty dollars were made to towns of the
county, for which also no provision was
made in the levy, and which must become
an Indebtedness at the end of the year.

Bryan On Control Iof Railways

William Jennings Bryan is credited
with statement, in which, while re-
affirming his belief that Government
ownership will be the ultimate solution
of the problem confronting the country,
he declares it should not play part in
the presidential campaign of next year,
the inference being that the time is not
yet ripe when victory could be achieved
by the democratic party with Govern
ment ownership as the dominant issue.
Mr.. Bryan says:
Government ownership is not an ip-
mediate issue. A large majority of the

The farmers Of Alabama have taken a
tip from the trusts and formed a combine

State, in order to be able TO dictate the
price to spectators, who in the past have
done the dictation. and paid the growers
what they pleased for their product.
Practically all of the large cotton grow.
ers of the state are members of the organi-
cation. Large storehouses have been
erected at convenient points, so that if a
good price does not prevail when the crop
il ready to market it may be stored and
held until prices pick up. Although in
existence but short time, the organi-
cation has already saved the cotton grow
ers of the state hundreds of thousands OF
dollars
In the Southwest, too. the farmers have
organized similar move for the purpose
of compelling the payment of a dollar a
bushel for wheat, or better, and to pre-.
vent it being sold for less than the price
demanded. The prospective shortage in
the crop in that section of the United
States, due to the ravages of the green
bug. promises to assist il keeping the
price up.

Government officials who were kept so
busy for a week or more denying that
the sending of the fleet to the Pacific had
anything to do with the war like attitude
of certain of the Japanese have begun
denying that the rushing of coast defenses
TO the Philippines is a result of such war
talk. All of their protestation though,
does not cloud the fact that this Govern
ment is determined to prepare for war in
time of peace and that any time any
country feels that she has a sufficient
grievance to open action we shall not be
found unprepared to meet her. The
harbors of Guam, Pearl River in the
Hawaiian Islands, Guantanamo in Cuba,
San Juan, Porto Rico, and Kiska i'll the
Aleutians are all to be supplied with a
full equipment of coast defenses, but the
first shipment of them is being rushed to
the Philippines. Congress last winter
appropriated s., 345, 900 for the coast de-
Tense of our principal insular possessions,
and it is the first purchase under this
appropriation that will be sent to Manila
in August. The plans contemplate the
installation of nearly five hundred sub
marine mines in the approaches to
Manila, Manila Harbor and 2o9 mines at
Suoig Bay. At the Manila mine field
three big searchlights will be installed for
the purpose of preventing the attempt of

next month 1t is expected that even
tually the Government will expend nearly
two millions of dollars in this coast de-
tense of the Philippines. The terrible de-
struction wrought by submarine mines al
Dalny, Vladivostock, and Port Arthur
during the Russo japanese war was a
demonstration of the efficiency Of such
means to safe guard harbors in war times
which led Congress to appropriate for oul
defenses. The work of providing de
lenses for home ports is also being pushed
and mines will be sown i'll the neighbor

No one OF his s6 companions is able
to account for mis- action. After his

he would never be landed alive in

Lishman is highly connected in the

He also has the distinction of being
the most expert athlete in Hawaii.

The Siberia was one day out from
Honolulu when Lishman was found in
his cabin with his throat cut. He was
discovered by Colonel Samuel Johnson,
the potentate of the Honolulu temple.
