Small Towns Best.

No stronger portrayal of the effect
of the cities on our citizenship was
ever made than in those striking words
of Wendell Phillips:
'My ideal of civilization is very
high one, but the approach of it is a
New England town OF some 1000 In
habitants, with no rich man and no
poor man in it, all mingling in the
same society, every child at the same
school, no poorhouse, no beggar, op-
portunities equal, nobody too proud to
stand aloof, nobody TOO humble to be
shut out. That's New England as il
was fifty years ago. The civilization
that fingers beautifully on the hill
sides of New England, nestles sweetly
in the valleys of Vermont, the mo-
ment it approaches a crowd like Bos-
ton or million of men gathered in
one place like New York rots. II
cannot stand the greater centers Of
modern civilization"

A Retrospect

The Evening Post, so long domic1led
on Fulton Street must be pardoned a
pang at the passing of the Fulton
Street horse cars. Long one OF the
sights of the city, their disappearance
means the loss of a topic for jesting
by inland contemporaries, and by so
much a decrease in the proper adver-
tising of the metropolis. Amid all the
hurry and hustle of this teeming life
of ours, it was a joy to contemplate
the quiet and restfu1 spirit in which
this transportation line went about
it's daily duties. 1t was a measure
of the city's transit progress not now
to be replaced below the Bridge, that
was peculiarly soothing and comfort
ing to the Harlem straphanger as he
contemplated what might have been
had subways and elevateds not been
invented. Indeed, as lesson In char
acter-building and morals it had With
in it the text of dozen eloquent SER
mons. Who could see one of Its i've
cars gayly jump the track and pass
around some obstacle without learn
ing the lesson of self-help In difficult
ties, or being inspired by. this re-
fusal to be hindered in the achieve
ment of it's end? Even its shabby
gentility became it well, suggesting
as it did the day of small things, that
democratic age which spurned uni
forms and other appurtenances or
effete aristocracies, and valued other
things besides the dollar. A second
funeral for Clinton? Is there not
some historical society, some devoted
band of descendants OF Revolutionary
patriots, to perform adequate public
funeral rites for the Fulton Street
Y. Evening Post.

The PeriIOus Negro Vote.

Of all the large cities of the North
Philadelphia has the largest proper
tion of negro citizens. AS rule they
are proportionately more careful than
our white citizens to go to the polls
and cast their votes, and they vote
solidly for Republican candidates.
There are reasons for this preference
which are not discreditable to negro
voters. They do not forget that their
right to vote was conferred upon them
at the instance and through the eff
fort of the Republican party. The
gratitude of the negro voter is solid
Republican asset. No matter whether
the policies of the party have been
right or wrong, there has been no
consequent change in African fidelity.
This is an unfortunate condition. The
voter who casts his ballot blindly with
out reference to the character Of the
men or the possible effect of policies
he favors is a public danger. He is
almost as undesirable citizen as the
wretch who sells his vote to the high
est bidder.
The time must come when negro
voters will have to make choice be-
tween suitable exercise of the elective

ton of good government and the
danger of losing it through disfran-
chisement Votes that are not free
are always perilous. A possible In
citement to free voting at the coming
election Representatives in Congress
may arise out of the effort of Senator
Foraker who appeals to negro voters
throughout the country to aid in de-
feating candidates who will not pledge
themselves to support his bill for un-
doing the wrong done to the negro
soldiers by President Roosevelt in
the Brownsville matter. That is a
measure of reparation which the
negro is fairly entitled to insist upon
If as a result of this incident, a be-
ginning shall have been made in get
ting the negro to take thought Of the
consequences of his voting and of the
responsibilities inhering in the exer-

Republicans and Socialism.

The gathering in this city of Protes-
tant ministers who believe in Social
ism has led the Tribune to remark
Sagely that their arguments cannot
be refuted by sweeping assertions or
misrepresentation. They must be
met in detail and shown to be heresies
after careful discussion. With this,
of course, we fully agre. The calm
ness of the Tribune in the facing of
the rapidly growing Socialist propa-
ganda is a refreshing contrast to the
excitement of the Times, which ex-
poets the social over-turn tomorrow,
and is already forecasting a very
bloody state of affairs. But we should
like to have the Tribune, or some
other honest Republican newspaper,
give us a scientific explanation of
the relationship between socialism
and the Republican party. Many
people are inquiring with much ear
nestness and considerable perpleXity
why it is that, with the greatest of
Presidents in Office and an all-wise
party in power for the last twelve
years, social unrest and Socialism
should be making such strides. If
they say, it is in the power of the
Republican party to make times pros
porous, why have they not made them
so prosperous, why have they not so
written and administered our laws,
as to bring about content and be-
lief that every one is really getting
a square deal? Others who hate So
cialism believe that the Republican
tariff is not merely mother of the
Trusts, but also foster-mother to So
cialism, by creating many great for
tunes by law, and taking favored bus
mess men into partnership with the
government 1t would of course,
be idle for avowed Free Traders to
comment on this; but it is time for
superior Republican wisdom to set
at rest the anxieties of many thou
sands of plain, American--born citi-
zens who do not favor Debs for the
Presidency-N. Y. Evening Post

Where Men Are Needed.

Now comes the season when there
are too many in the city and too few
out of it. For several years last the
farmers have walled because OF the
lack of farm labor; have seen them
selves seriously handicapped by the
paucity of hands. Women go out and
do mems labor; so do the small boys
In some places they draft the tramps
willy nilly. But with all these ex-
peditions there are not enough to dc
the necessary work.
Some of the men who are out OF
work really desire to earn a livel1-
hood; they are not tramps and LOAF
ers from preference. Yet they walk
the city streets in the vain quest FOL
something to do and drift into habits
of vagrancy, when they could by a
walk of day or two into the country
find enough work to keep them very
busy till October. These are the un-
attached the unmarried, and they are
the vast majority of park benchers
The man with family must, as rule
get work where his family is or ap-
ply for municipal charity or starve
The alternative of desertion and tax
ing up the life of vagabondage is not
to be considered. But these men are
the exceptions.
The homeless and hungry can find
home and victual on the farms. The
country needs them, the city doesn't
A general movement back to nature
would benefit all concerned; the city
the country, the unemployed. 1t is SO
simple a solution that the unattached
individual who starves in the city de-
serves but scant sympathy. By the
law of supply and demand the man
must go where men are wanted-or
cease to exist.

TALBOT RENOMINATED.
Havre de Grace Convention Over in
S5 Minutes.

Havre de Grace, Md, June 2.-Con-
gressman ]. Fred c. Talbot was
chosen Democratic candidate for
Congress from the Second Congress
sional district here today. The con-
vention was perhaps the dullest and
briefest ever held in the district, last
ing not more than 35 minutes. Two
years ago the convention met at West
minister, and while Mr.. Talbot was
given the nomination without a light,
much enthusiasm was manifested.
1t is a noteworthy fact that just 81
years ago, almost to the day, Mr.. Tai
bott made hs initial entrance into ma
tional politics by securing his first
nomination for seat in Congress.
The convention was called to order
by Edward H. Hall, of Belair, men,
Der of the Hartford County State Cen
tral Committee, and Guy W. Steele,
of Carroll, was made chairman. The
secretary was William P. Freeny, of
the Fifteenth ward, Baltimore. With
the selection of the permanent officers
it was only few minutes before the
committees on credentials and reso-
lutions were chosen. 1t took the COM
mittees about 10 minutes to make their
reports, as they we're materially as
sisted in framing up the resolution by
Michael Fahey, of Havre de Grace,
who is said to be State Treasurer Muir
raw Vandiver's righthand man in the
county.
The resolution adopted is as follows:
The Democrats of the Second Con-
gressional district OF Maryland in con-
vention assembled indorse and ap-
in
present Representative Hon. Joshua
Frederick G. Talbot, and congratulate
the pople upon having such faith
full and efficient servant. True to the
principles of Democracy, he has ever
been steadfast in standing with the
party for the rights Of the people,
firmly resisting the constant and insid-
ious efforts of the present Administra-
tion of the national Government to
centralize it's power and deprive the
States and the representatives OF the
people of their constitutional and in
herent rights. And be 1t further re-
solved, that we pledge our hearty sup
port and united efforts to secure the
election of candidates on the Demo-
cratic ticket to be nominated by the
Democratic Convention to be held in
DeneVer IN July next.
The committee on resolutions was:
Fifteenth ward, John ]. Flack; Six
teenth ward, George H. Meyers; Balti-
more county, John Mays Little; Har-
ford county DR.. w. B. Kirk, and Car
roll county, E. O. Weant.
Carville D. Benson nominated Mr..
Talbot, passing him highly, and then
the other portions. of the district sec
onded the nomination. The city men
were passed over, allowing Mr.. Benson
to make the speech. The committee
of notification is as follows:
Baltimore county-Philip Watts.
Hartford county-William Hopes.
Carroll county-Harry F. Mussel-
man.
Fifteenth Ward-William P. Freeny.
Sixteenth Ward-Robert Woodall.

The next day, half way down the
social column, the editor saw the fol-
lowing cautious paragraph:
"It is rumored that card party was
given last evening to a number Of re-
puted ladies of the First Ward. Mrs.
Smith, gossip says, was the hostess,
and the festivities are reported to
have continued until 11.30 in the even
ing. The alleged hostess is believed
to be the wife of John Smith, the so
called high-priced grocer"

SCHOOL COMMENCEMENTS.

We are in the period of the year OF
school commencements. The univer-
sites the colleges and the high schools
are sending out their graduates, and
our respective communities are rein
forced by the trained young gentle
men and ladies from the schools.
These occasions occur at the close
of the schools and yet they are called
commencements and 10 the graduating
class they are properly so called.
They mark the period when the young
man has finished his school course
and is about to enter upon the active
duties of everyday life, for which his
training has been designed to prepare
him.
Our public school system, which is
sustained by the state, is intended to
give to every child within the borders
of the commonwealth the opportunity
for fair, underlying basis of educa-
ton. Such an education, if no other
can be had, will fit him for the
duties Of good citizenship. 1t is a
system designed for the education of
the masses of the people, and is abso-
-lutely free. 1t should receive the en-
couragement and fostering care of all
our citizens.
The people of our own county are
peculiarly fortunate in the matter of
educational advantages. They are
blessed by a well-managed public
school system and number of high
schools and then, as the crowning
part of our local school advantages,
we have Western Maryland College, an
institution which is doing work
which puts it in the forefront of the
colleges of the state. From the high
school of our city four young ladies
and one young getleman were grad
uated on Tuesday evening last, and
on the seventeenth instant, thirty-four
young ladies and gentlemen will each
take the degree of A B. at Western
Maryland College.
Then, in addition to our local facil-
tiles, we have, in the city of Baltimore,
within easy reach of our people, the
great Johns Hopkins University,
university that has taken the foremost
rank among the universities of our
country. At this institution those who
wish to pursue higher educational
work can have the opportunity of do
ing so under most favorable conditions.
So that the people of our section
have within easy reach educational
facilities ranging from the free public
schools up to the university, where
the most advanced courses can be
taken
