Jackson. Miss, October 21.--(S (Special.) Bishop Charles B. Galloway of this city, who has just returned from an extended tour through the middle west where he has been attending Methodist con ferenees and educational gatherings, contributed the following interesting chapter to the history of education in the United States. He says
 When up in the middle west I all ways read the Chicago Record Herald in order to get the daily letters of Mir. William E. Curtis. the dean of newspaper correspondents in the United States. During the summer he wrote a series of intensely interesting and valuable letters on New England col leges. with stories of their founding and subsequent management and growth. Among the number was a charming account of Mount Holyoke college for women at South Hadley. nestled under the shadows of the Hol yoke range of mountains within nine miles of Amherst. anoth Ter ancient and honored seat of learning. The two col lege communities are now connected by trolley line, which is well patron ized. Years ago when the Amh erst boys had to climb mountain to see the Holyoke girls. and opportunities for visits came all too seldom. they used to sing a paraphrase of the Mock ing Bird:

vigorous campaign ever waged by the
Republicans will be conducted. The
fight will be waged on honest elections
and the managers will never run short
OF ammunition, as was shown in these
letters of the past week. The present
election law is probably the most I'M
quitous that ever blotted the statute
books of state, and under the manipu-
lation of the Democratic ringster no
honest expression of the will of the peo-
pie of Maryland is possible. The law
was drawn by former Attorney General
John P. Poe, and, as it was intended it
should be, DISTINGUISHES a number suffi-
Gent to give the Democrats a reason
able certainty of success at the polls.
The Republicans will probably use
Gather and Good Government" as
their campaign slogan and will make
capital of the fact that Warfeld, who
stood for the same principles that
Gather represents in state government,
was turned down by the ring Democrats
because he would not permit affairs to
be 1un so that the Democratic party
heelers could benefit at the expense of
the state, They will also bring promi-
nently to the fore the fact that Judge
Crother is the personal candidate of
Col. Smith, who when governor called
an extra session of the legislature for
the sole purpose of. emasculating the
fair and square election law passed by
the Republican legislature during the
administration of Gov. Lloyd Lowndes.
Both parties will settle upon the can
didates for the senate and house of dele
gates next week. There is little or no
chance of contests in the Republican
ranks, the leaders being outspoken for
give-and-take open-door policy in or
der to preserve the harmony now exist
ing through the party in this city.
In the Democratic camp, however,
there is a wide scramble and the ward
executives are up a tree. BY some
former Gov. Brown is regarded as the
Democratic boss of Baltimore town,
while hers are casting their fortunes
with Sonny" Mahon, who aspires to
become the undisputed boss of city poll
tic. in every senatorial district there
are two or more candidates-one favor
ed by Mahon, the other by Brown, and
in some cases still another, who is, maxi

the Democratic managers much concern.
So, altogether, the Democrats have
rocky road tc travel even before the
campaign proper opens.

TIE REQ ol'can for job Printing


The porter came through the car with
his arms filled with clean, white pillows.
Number one was nearing Oakland, and
well-dressed young lady took six and
very kindly handed them around to
friends of hers in the party The por-
ter very politely placed them beneath
the weary heads of the half dozen. He
then with equal politeness took his
stand beside the very polite young lady
who had ordered tire pillows. She in
the meantime had closed her eyes for a
restful snooze.
The porter touched her gently on the
arm and looked her in the eyes with an
enquiring gaze. He finally said,
"a dollar and half, please, mum. !"
What for?" she inquired.
"For those pillars. mum"
What, doesn't the railroad company
furnish them free to the passengers?"
'No, mum.
Then take back your pillars!' the
young lady exclaimed as she ierked the
one out from beneath her head.
And long were the faces of the other
five as the porter took from them their
head rests of down and explained that
he and wife and children would starve
to death if he did not get the revenue
that came from the sale of pillows.
AS to the humiliation of the kind
young lady who ordered the pillows
