whichmust vet be approved at the polls,
and the cessation of publication of sam
pie ballots in the Wilson counties. Two
counties have been 'Wilsonized." if
such term can be employed-namely.
DOrcester and Queen Anne's. The
Democrats, who have had substantial
working majorities in both houses, have
had but a single purpose in view
throughout the session the enactment
of such legislation as will aid them in
securing approval Of their disfranchis-
ing amendment, an issue which the
party inherited from the late United
States Senator German. The Good
Roads Bill is part of the machinery to
be operated for the benefit of the suf-
frage plans. A reassessment of all the
property in the state outside Baltimore
city is another spoke in the wheel. The
passage of the increased city represen-
tatiOn bill through the House was not
recognition of the claims of the city
to more senators and delegates, but was
planned to provide means by which the
ballot next year will be complicated
with amendments to the Constitution,
thus making more difficult, If not i'm
possible, the task Of thousands Of uned-
ucated Marylanders, white and colored,
to save their greatest privilege to vote.
The Senate will let the increased repre-
sentation slumber and then die in the
room of the Committee on Constitution
al Amendments. The same fate awaits
Mr.. Lehmayer's bill, which has passed
and which gives judges of elections
greater latitude in counting ballots on
which the arms of crossmarks extend
beyond the designated squares.
The Injurious legislation already en-
acted and yet to be enacted has been
political rather than general with few
exceptions. The state tax rate will be
fixed at the present figure, though the
school fund may suffer by the looping
of of two cents, the revenue to be de-
Ai'Nt 1 LOlil lllGSt lMO CGIlIS 10 De DIVERT
ed to the good-roads fund.
The Democrats have carried through
their corrupt practices act, but they are
finding it hard to rally their forces to a
primary election bill because of the ex-
pense attached to the proposition. They
are committed by their state platform
to primary election law by which can
didates for United States senator are
to be selected make the whole scheme
tarcical, SINCE it is to apply locally, as
was the case last year, instead of to
the whole state. County Democrats
fear that if the law were general in its
operation, Baltimore city might exer-
else too great power in the vote. 1t is
violation of what the Democrats claim
to be their cardinal principle-the rule
Of the majority-to place this ban upon
the city.

THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY.

When Ex-Governor Bradley next year
takes his!seat in the United States SEN
ate as the representative of the Repub-
hcan party from. Kentucky that body
will contain 60 Republicans and % Dem
ocrats, which gives.over two-thirds Re-
publican majority. TheI Republican
membership of the upper house of Con-
gress has been swelling ever since the
turn in.the tide of affairs set in in 1896
with the nomination of Bryan by the
Democrats. Since that evil day for the
Democracy the.tRepublicans have gain
en- nearly thirty seats IN the senate.
In 1895 the Republicans were in the
minority. To-day the party is so in
trenched in.power in the senate that it
will require many years of disaster to
it for thei.Democrats to come ANYWAYS
near outvoting it.
An analysis Of this strength will give
some idea of the complete independence
of the Republican party in matters con-
nected with the functions of the senate.
1t is now in position to ratify any
treaty without the aid of the votes of
any other party. When the Spanish
treaty was.before the senate the aid of
a few Democratic votes was required to
secure its ratification.
Another and equally important fea-
ture of the change that has taken place
in the political complexion of the senate
is, that.no more will the Democrats be
able to even indulge in their character
istic tactics of the obstruction of legis-
lation, for the Republican membership
may be split into two factions, but each
wing would be able to Outvote the com
b'ned strength of the Democrats.

WAS Killed AT PIEDMONT. W. VA.
Renzie hcCrobie, a Section Hand
Found Dead Body nutiIated

The body of man found Saturday
night near the coal tipple at the west
end of the B. & 0. yards at Piedmont
was identified Sunday as that of Renzie
McCrobie, b. & 0. section hand. who
resided at Wilson's store on the Seven
teen Mile Grade. Just how the man
came to his death is unknown, except
that al! surrounding circumstances point
to the fact that he must haye been run
down by train. The body was terri
bly, mutilated when found by several of
the B. & o. employees. The mans
clothing was almost torn from his body,
both feet had been cut of, and one arm
was missing. $2.73 was found in the
pockets of the mans clothing. An
lngersoll watch was also found in one
pocket and the timepiece was still run
ming.
The railroad men who found the body
were Of the opinion that the man while
walking on one of the tracks, had been
run down by train and was dragged
some distance after the limbs had been
severed, when the several sections Of
the remains We're dropped where found.
No one at Piedmont could identify the
body, and it was held at the Fredlock
undertaking establishment until Sunday
when persons who knew the man well
reached Piedmont.
1t seems there is no information as to
what train struck the man. 1t evident
ly occurred after dark Saturday, or the
train crew would have discovered the
terrible accident.

IT is reported that in their despair
over the tariff situation, the Democrats
purpose toHadopt some sort of prohibi-
ton plank with the hope of absorbing
the Prohibition party, as they absorbed
the Populist party in 1896. Considering
the acutexindigestion which Miss Dem
ocracy has suffered ever since she
swallowed the Pops, we should sup
pose she would be chary of adopting
diet toswhich.. Democrats are as unac-
customedsas they are to prohibition.

Fol several years it has been expected by few
aid hoped for by all that the money market
would escape violent fluctuations and return to
condition of comparative stability. But each sue
ceedng year has brought greater stress and longer
periods of sustained strngency After the pressure
atten liant upon January dividend disbursements in
1907 there brief peri ID of fairly normal quo
tations for call money, broken only by spasmodic
advance p per cent in March, and the first half
of 1907 gave warning Of the sensational events
of the closing quarter Up TO the first of October
the range of quotations were mucn narrower than
the preceding year, although the level was un-
usually high. When the customary Withdrawals by
the interior began in the autumn there was no diff
Guilty in meeting requirements although rates hard
ened gradually and plans were made for engage
ments of gold abroad. Business had been proceed
ing at unprecedented rate throughout the world,
and at the leading European centres there was op-
position the surrender of gold, which continued
until official of discount at London Ber-
lin and Paris were far above normal. Probably the
year might have ended without any sensatlonally
high quotations for money had 1t not been Tor the
heavy Withdrawals of deposits from a few large
trust companies that preciptated a season OF
boarding. No accurate figures are available re-
gardng the extent of this movement. but it is esti-
mated by well posted bankers, that the cash with
drawn from New York banks alone amounted to
s125 600 O0 and perhaps four times much through
the country AS an offset gold was engaged
abroad the extent of N10.0O000o, which was also
