Mr.. BRYAN'S VICTORY IN THE
STATE CONVENTION.

No other comment is needed to show
what. Mr.. William J. Bryan has done
to the democratic party of Maryland
than the news accounts printed in the
last few DAYS of the difficulty the party
in this State has had to get men of first
class ability to 60 to Denver in the role
of delegates-at-large 1t looked for a
time as if the selections for this honor
able post would actually have to be
made by the convention itself-a thing
which, of course, is unprecedented in
the politics of the State 1t was neces-
sary to resort to draft in order to Sc
cure the Governor; Attorney General
Straus aud Mr.. Murray Vandiver could
not well refuse in the circumstances.
while Hon. j. F. C. Talbot is made to
serve in default of somebody better.

York Sun, which is so valiantly striving
for the nomination of Democrat whom
it can support in opposition to Mr.. Taft.

high shelf, out of reach of rats, but the
great weight of the fruit made this i'm
possible and it was left on the floor.
The fondness of rats for pumpkin
seeds is well known, however, and it
was not long before they had gnawed
a hole into the side of the mammoth
and completely excavated the soft in
terror which contained the seeds.
The pumpkin seemed destined to
have a domestic career. Some three
weeks ago Mr.. Smith missed a choice
Rhode Island red hen from his flock
and soon found her in the pumpkin
with IA chickens. When discovered
the chicks were busily consuming the
floor and wall of their dwelling, and
the rind was so thin in spots as to
show that their mother had subsisted
largely upon it during the period of
incubation.
Thinking that the pumpkin may
have been of some unusual variety,
the friends had notified the secretary
of the Portsmouth Grange Agricultural
society. asking that a committee be
sent to Prudence to make official
measurement and record Of its di-
mensions. but the unpleasantness of
winter boating caused the examina-
ton to be postponed from time to
time and the pumpkin Is now in such
a state of collapse as to make veri-
fication of existing measurements i'm
possible. 1t is a matter of regret that
none of the seeds was saved

song failed Of their purpose, notwith-
standing the fact that the house had
light and an agreeable time OF ii for
several hours while the loyal Missis-
sippian held forth in his pleadings.
Now as for Mr.. Gamblers right to
growl at Speaker Cannon. The Re-
publican chieftain wants to keep down
the appropriations this winter. For
some reason or other he has an idea
that the agricultural department Is
likely to have some special pleaders
for money before the committee on ag-
riculture. Representative Gambler was
a member of this committee in the
last congress, and he wanted to be a
member of it in this congress. Mr..
Cannon, however. remembered the
plea for the millions for the improve
ment of the Tombigbee river that the
Mississippian had made last year
with perfect face and a perfect f-ith.
and came to the conclusion that a man
who could ask for millions as another
man might ask for hundreds would be
too easy a mark for the beguiling ones
of the agricultural department.

these long-range observers read with
absolute amazement the statement
that the Missourian is 63 years old.
To account for the act of the seeming
ly self-contained one in calling his
colleague a liar there are people to
declare that it was not De Almond
who used the shorter and uglier
word" it was Missouri. There is
something in this. doubtless.
David a. De Almond is a lawyer,
one of the best, so it is said, in the
congress. He was appointed one of
the managers on the part of the house
in the Impeachment proceedings
against Judge Sweyne. of Florida.
Everything that De Almond says
apparently is measured. but neverthe-
less there is no halting in his speech,
and what he says is well worth lis
tening to, and, whats more. it is lis
tened to. De Almond is the last man
in the house of representatives who
would be named as one likely to be
engaged in a brawl. let alone to bring
on the brawl by'a heated word out OF
his own mouth.

HOW CHONG COT $40
AND LANlE] IN JAIL

S. P. Chong, a Korean who formerly
belonged to the Salvation Army, but
seems to have been dishonorably dis
charged some months ago, was sent to
jail for six months yesterday by Judge
Andrade, for embezzlement. 1t seems
there was another Korean who was a
very promising Satvationist and the
Army proposed to send him to the
Coast for service there. A subscription
was started to defray his expenses and
about $50 was collected. Chong went
to the other Korean and told him that
Koreans and Japanese We're excluded
from the United states, but that if the
money were given to him he could,
through his influence with Col French
of the Salvation Army, and others, get
him landed. The other Korean believ-
ed this and gave up the $50 to Chong.
He has not seen it since.

Funukoshi is undergoing sentences ag-

two charges of conspiracy. Whether
the ground of the petition for his re-
