For Brown And Wachter.

Delegates of the G7 associations OF the
Independent Citizens Union on Thursday
evening of last week Endorsed George Stew
art Brown as the Democratic candidate fol-
Mayor ard Congressman Wachter as the
Republican candidate at Il meeting held at
their headquarters, Vorwaerts Hall, West
Lexington street, Baltimore.
Although not exactly condemned, Mayor
Timanus came in for bit Of disapproval
In an address President John Tjarks de-
clared that Mayor Timanus had not full
filled promise he had made to the union,
which was that of appointing some repre-
sentative German American citizens on the
School Board. He said that the Mayor
had promised on several occasions, and al
though he has had plenty of opportunity
to make such an appointment, he has
failed to keep his word.
Another delegate said that the value OF
the English-German schools is now well
recognized and that many other citizens
who are not Germans have been sending
their children to the schools to learn the
language.
The delegates discussed at length the
merits of the Mayoralty candidate. Mr..
Brown was Endorsed because of his good
record in the CT y Council and his public
spirited stand for the interests of the com
munity Mr. Linthicum and Col. Swami
were also well spoken Of

lettings by a Hog Feeder.

+ have been feeding hogs for number
of wears and have had almost no losses,
while all around me so-called cholera has
devastated one herd after another. Here
are few of the things | did and did not
do, which | believe kept my herds from
disease:
Do not feed an extreme green corn diet.
Do not crowd young stock unnaturally.
Keep clear water before them all the
time
Keep the sleeping quarters clean and
dry.
Have good shade during the warm
weather.
Give the hogs salt and ashes, especially
hard coal ashes, and an occasional dose OF
copperas and sulphur in the slop. BE par
ticularly careful about this with the hogs
that are in the feeding pens.
Keep the hogs and their yard In a sanl-
tarv condition and watch the herd carefully
in order that no disease may get start.
All these points should be kept in mind
for they are the only effective insurance
against cholera and kindred diseases.

Protest Against Negro.

COLUMBUS, ONO, Feb. Announce
ment of the probability that President
Roosevelt will appoint Ralph w. Tyler,
the well-known negro of this city, to the
position Of Surveyor of Customs at Clncln

protests from Cincinnati, and friends "fthe
President have been appealed to here to get
TYLER to say he will not accept the appoint
ment Tyler, however, practically de-
clareG today that he is in the race to stay
Il see no reason why should not accept
the office if it is rendered me, he said,
land will accept it, am with the Pres
ident in his policy of giving the most com
petem men Government positions, regard
less Of color, and an willing to stand the
iest with any white man.
president Harrison offered me a posi-
ton, and so did Senator Hanna, but | re
fused to accept. Now will accept If am
appointed. Senator Foraker is one Of my
friends, and I think that he will not oppose
my appointment. This race question
should not enter into the matter at all. If
[ can hold the job, if am not competent,
then let the President turn me out and
give it to someone who is competent.
The office Of Surveyor has always been
held by white men of high standing, such
as the present incumbent, former Mayor
Amos Smith. 1t has become sort OF Il
respectable stepping stone to retirement for
men who are well off but who desire to keep
in touch with politics for few years
longer.
1t is said that every white man in the
Cincinnati office will resign the moment
that Tyler is appointed.

Cause For Indignation.

The train was about to depart when a
stout old lady ran on to the platform IN
haste. The obliging guard pounced upon
her, fairly lifted her into the carriage, and
as he slammed the door the train steamed
out of the station. The first stopping place
was thirty miles up the line, and when the
train arrived the guard observed the old
lady stepping out of the compartment in a
state of boiling indignation.
''You nearly missed it, mum, he SAID.
Missed it! You silly ASST fumed the
old lady. Il didn't want to come by 1t

Slightly Mistaken.

The official in charge of the ground at
Mount Vernon not long ago came upon a
woman kneeling before a building not fal
from the monument. She was bathed in
tears. Thinking that the lady was in
trouble, the director gently inquired
whether he might be of service to her.
"No, thank you, sobbed the woman.
81 am not in trouble, but my patriotic
feelings overcame me when first gazeo
upon the tomb of the Father of His Coun
try"
"Pardon me, madam, . said the direc-
tor with smile; ''but you have made
slight mistake. This is not the tomb Of
Washington, but his ice house.

Says the Negro Rules.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. 1.-The
Legislature was lively body today in
both branches Iu the Senate Mr.. Camp
bell offered resolution for constitutional
amendment embodying the features Of the
famous Poe amendment defeated last year
in Maryland, designed to disfranchise the
negro.
He charged that West Virginia was now
being dominated by the vicious and crimi-
nal classes and the negroes hold the bal
ance of power in the elections and have
therefore a dominant influence upon the
politics and government Of the State. He
challenged the Republicans to meet the
issue squarely as in the resolution, and not
try to smother it by referring it to com
mittee from which it would never be re-
ported.
Messrs. Foreman, Bailey and Blue OPP
posed the resolution, which was finally ia
bled by strict party vote-22 yeas and 1
nays. Mr.. Littlepage (Dem, was out
of the chamber at the time of the vote.
Later the second resolution was offered i'll
the House, and went over one day under
the rule without debate Mr.. Littlepage
offered in the Senate joint resolution TO
investigate the recent mine explosion at
Stuart, where about so lives were lost.
He tried to get immediate consideration
for the resolution but failed, and it went
over one day.
In the House the day was spent in dis
cussing the Primary Election and Two
Cent Fare bills. Delegates from the heavy
negro counties opposed the primary cleo
ton measure, because they said it would
mean the nomination of negro county OIL
Gals. and none other, and besoug hit their
fellow members to save them from beng
relegated to the rear politically. Several
motions to table and to so amend as to kill
the bill were defeated, and it was finally
made special order for Monday at 10
o clock
The Two Cent Fare bill was also debated
at length 1t provides for fiat rate OF :
cents mile, and an effort WAS made to
substitute bill providing for rate graded
according to the gross income OF the roads.
The substitute failed and the bill as 1t came
