Ruu Industry Has Suffered.

Persia's rug industry has suffered
materially as a result OF the closing
fthe bazars at Tabriz and other Per-
sian cities. The difficulties of trans
portation on the highways of Persia
and the lessened American demand
for luxuries have contributed in NO
small measure to the depressed con
dition of the Persian rug trade. Prices
have fallen recently by one-third and
rug exports have fallen off by one
half. Labor there now commands
only between five and ten cents a
day.

The Anti tuberculosis Fight.

Educating the people to combat the
spread of tuberculosis is a movement
which it would be superfuous to
praise. Miniature model tenements
and graphic reproductions of the op-

see them think to some purpose.

A United Party.

AS the campaign wakes warmer
and warmer in its closing days we
view with regret if not solicitude an
effort being made in certain sections
to discredit the Democratic nominee
for Congress. from the Second dis
trict. This opposition Is not based
on the claim that Mr. Talbot is not
a capable and efficient representative
who looks after the interests of his
district and his party with untiring
zeal and unusual success, but because,
it is alleged, he dominates his party
in Baltimore county and plays the
roll of ."boss" with tyrannical success.
We're the Independent Democracy
OF Baltimore county to take up this
line of warfare before nominations
were made we would advise that
their views be given careful consider
alton, and If found to be true that the
will of the people, should express itself
clearly and fully in the primariess :
but to make such war now Ito say
nothing of the party rule to support
party nominees) is, like Goliath of
old. to destroy the party in order to
destroy a party nomfnee against
whom they hold grndgeI !:
1t is absolutely useless to preach
voting for Bryan and Garrett the,
man. who is persuaded, to cut the latter
will find it still easier to cut both;'
and thus lend double aid and COM.
fort to his political enemies.
In fact no one will claim that we
can afford to lose Congressman, es-.
pecially il Mr.. Bryan should be elect
ed; he will certainly need all the help
in Congress which he can possibly get.
, We have no sympathy with party
bosses; If Mr.. Talbot is exercising
harsh rule over his political asso-
ciates in Baltimore county-contrary
to their will-that majority insults
itself If it declares that it cannot get
control of the party in a legitimate
way instead of stabbing the nominee
to death at the general election
To the Independent Democrats of
Baltimore county we would say, Did
you not merely "lie down" and fail
to make your fight at the proper time?
Did you make such campaign be-
fore the people to discredit Mr.. Tai
bott before his nomination which you
have been making since?. If not, do
you not think it is pretty hard on the
rest of your party throughout the dis
trict that you will try to have them
misrepresented in Congress by a Re-
publican because you failed at the
right time to secure through legiti-
mate methods the retirement of man
Objectionable to you?
Suppose you had defeated Mr.. Tai
bot in the primaries and secured the
nomination of one of your friends, do
you think Mr. Talbot would now be
doing all in his power to further the
nominees defeat? Has he ever done
so in the past? What would you think
of such action?
No, gentlemen, we strongly advise
that you play fair; that you do not
make man fight at the same time
his open enemies in the front and his
covert enemies in his own camp, who
should be busy giving aid and COM
fort
This is not Mr.. Talbott's fight to
be settled in November, it is the fight
of the Democratic party, and certainly
no Democrat will cover himself with
glory who connives at her defeat
