Now that the election Is over we
hope that the police of the city VIII
look cut a little and try to remedy
some of the matters which were
brought against them at the time OF
the city election. Keep look out Tor
the fellows who make habit OF using
low. vulgar, indecent and even BIAS
phemous language on the streets.
There has been too much Of it ard it is
clearly up to the police to put a stop
to it. There is an ordinance against
splitting on the sidewalks of the town.
this too ought to be stopped. OF
course we know that an officer cannot
be present and arrest every man who
splits on the sidewalk but be on the
look out and the first fellow you catch
doing it arrest him and it will not
take more than three or four cases
until there will be no more of it.

Important Farm Stuff.

Here is carrying of Goals to New

news and comments of leading
American newspaper.
An ocean steamer from Liverpool
last Tuesday brought large consign-
ment of dressed poultry to New York.
There were in the lot 5S4 cases Of chick
ems, IS cases Of squads, and 95l Of
ducks. This great quantity Of pouI-
try was sent to America because 1t
would find market in which it would
sell for enough to pay the transporta-
tion across theAtlantic and yield pro
fit to the men dong the business. t
seems that the United States should
supplylher own people with poultry
without the need of shipping { it from
Europe

gether with Missouri, Iowa, and Ten

what it is in Denmark and chicken

they were in Normandy, France.

1t behooves the American farmer to

its production, even at present prices.

The republican county executive

for the purpose Of selecting delegates
for the congressional convention which
is to be held At Keyser on July 6. This
presages trickery. Mass conventions
for selecting delegates for a whole
county is trick and nothing less to
disfrtuchise halt the people of the
county and it is simply meant for that
purpose. 1t Is machine politics, boss
rule aud the people which will sub

attempt such scaudulous tactics the
people ought 10 get up and kick the

the republicans of Berkeley county do

The kind which likes to wear a collar
and be led by boss, but we must say
that all of the Berkeley county repub-
licans are not of hat class. There are
some who will not wear a collar and
who have the manhood TO kick when
they are spurned, but the fellows who
think they are helping to run the con-
ventons are never so Happy as when
one of the bosses condescend to notice
them and let them think they are

no will but that OF the boss. it has
long been the boast of the bosses of
the county that the organization was

them what the democrats. of the coun-

to see that the independent republi-
cans are growing more numerous every
year and we hope to see the time whet
all the people of the county both dem
ocrats and republican will not tolerate
boss'sm such as the republican party
of the county has suffered SO long.

Hon. John J. Cornweii

Disclainiing any intentio1 OF inter
fering in the local affairs Of Democrats
OF the Fifteenth senatorial district,
and basing its suggestion upon the
broad ground that Hon. John J. Corn
well belongs to the STATE as whole,
tic Monroe Waterman discusses the
advisabinty Of settling factional differ
ences in the Fifteenth district by unit
ing upon Mr Cofnwcll for the state
senate
MI C9rnweil was one OF the most
prominent aud useful mem Uers Of that
body FOR two terms, and was also the
bouitee Of his party for governor and
received several thousand more votes
lian the other candidates on his tick
ct. He i. allied with no faction, he is
clean cut aud capable, and fne Regis
ter DOT only agrees with The Watch
man ia its opinion that voters Of all
factions in bis district would cheerful
~ unite in supporting him, but be-
lieyes also that the voters of the entire
state would gladly avail themselves Of
an opportunity to crafty sny ambi-
ton he may possess to occupy higher
position in the service Of the people. -
Wheeling Register.
The above is an indication Of the re-
gard the democracy of the state at
large has for Mr.. Cornwell and its es-
innate Of his ability as q leader. He is
a man of the highest ability and char
acier. He is prominently the leader of
the party IN the state, Sans puer ct
eans reproche. The state demands
that the Fifteenth district send him
to the state senate for his service will
be badly needed when the next legis-
lature meets in January There is
probability that the next legislature
will be democratic and in that event
there will be great responsibility on
the party and it should have its best
and most capable men on hand to take
the led and guide the ship of state.
win Que respect Tor Whatever am0l-
tions other may have it is the general
opinion Of the democrats not only of
the district bat of the state at large
that there should be clear track for
CCrnwell at this time.
There will be many important mat
tiers coming up in the next legislature
and the help of such men as CornwelI
will be badly needed. The Virginia
debt question will be up and more
memeui0us question has never con-
frouted the state. In this matter Mr..
Cornweil is especially capable of guild
ing the legislature for he has made
pecial study Of the matter and there
is hardly man in the state who is
SO well posted ON the subject as he.

A UNIVERSALLY HAILED NOMINATION

1a HE press of the country today comments IN terms Oh PRAISE
on the nomination of Woodrow Wilson for governor Oh Jew
Jersey. looking upon it as a national event IN It's character
and possible significance. Mr.. Wilson is a mar of natlona nj
international fame. and heretofore he has figured in public AFFAIRS
only as an oIservant mentor. His great abilities and broad culture
have given 10 his views on public questions a due weight in all
mems minds. That he would deliberately exchange a schoiasllc
for a polftcal life and take upon himself great and perplexhg tasks
in government that few men are equal TO was hardly beleVed unth
his consent was given to the nomination. Even then there was
evident incredulity in leading newspapers that Mr.. wilson would d
the candidate. So the unanimous nomination by the convention d.
Trenton Yesterday was in the nature of a surprise i'll many quarters,
and the almost universal sentiment of the press today is III OIL
qualification to e a man like Woodrow Wilson assume ahd
dacy of a political party for public once. IN MS acceptance u INV
nomination Nj. Wilson said that I'VE ae witnessing a ehalssah
of public spirit" Could there be a finer evidence OF IL thah MS
own nomination and his acceptance of the nomination! lhose
who have followed the career of Woodrow Wilson ana VINO know
him best know that his candidacy is wholly unselhsh and without
other ambitions: that he has in view three years OF patrlotlc erNlce
for the State, and that object only. But with his election % te
goyernorship State pride and the national Democratic choice may
DESIGNATE him as the standard bearer of the Democratic party Ill
the presidential election of 1872.

SUBSECTION for Union Wen.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
| wish to suggest in the Rostrum
that it would be a good idea for the
labor unions of Newark to get DR..
James j.. Walsh. of New York, to de-
liver an address or lecture in a large
hall like the address he made on
-"Fraternalism versus Socialism at the
big German Catholic meeting in Krue-
ger Auditorium last Sunday night. The
address was very interesting and in
struetive and of special Interest to
workingmen who are in labor unions.
for he told of the great things achieved
by workmen's guilds during the Middle
Ages in Germany and England and
how labor unions could do more bene-
fetal work now for members.
DIR. Walsh is a student of the labor
question back through the centuries
and Is thoroughly conversant with the
methods of the ancient guilds of work
men, societies of the different trades,
like our labor unions, their aim being

n. r.. Bcnch crl,iclsm Resented.

n. RS Bench Criticism Resented.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
The Progressives of Yonkers, n. Y,
have decided to enter the Regular Re-
publican fold because of Roosevelt's at
tack upon the United States Supreme
Court and his advocacy of what he calls
New Natlonalism, which, if adopted,
would make the President a dictator;
the master, not the servant, of the peo-
pie. He would ignore constitutional
limitations.
The Republican leaders in Maine
blame Roosevelt and Cannonism for the
Waterloo of the party in that State.
They say the plain people resented the
attacks upon the Supreme Court, as
both Democrats and Republicans did
when William Jennings Bryan sharply
criticized that high tribunal. Mer-
chants of New York city, especially in
the dry-goods district, said in inter
views yesterday that Roosevelt's crazy
IDEAS are IulHlHB DuSiitSS, anu tltIt Is
danger of a panic. The leaders of the
Regular Republicans in the State are
strongly opposed to dictation by Roose-
Welt and to C~annonism.
The Republican candidates for Con-
gress in New Jersey are Cannon men.
How can the Progressives consistently
support any of them? How can Repub-
licans who denounced Bryan for criti-
cizing the United States Supreme Court
indorse Roosevelt, who made an outra-
geous attack upon that court, calling the
justices old fossils" The Democratic
party has always respected that high
tribunal, our court of last resort, and
has ever been the defender of the Con-
stitution. How can patriotic Republi-
cans and Independents vote for candi-
dates who stand for Rooseveltism and
Cannonism? AN INDEPENDENT.

N RENOMINATED.

O. PEAKER CANNON is renominated in the primaries of the
Eighteenth Illinois district. AS Cannon holds his district
in a wise his denomination was assured. Two years ago
he received a plurality of 1875, but he had the benefit of the Taft
candidacy. which saved the bacon of so many Republican candidates.
In that election y, 795 votes were polled against Cannon, notwith-
standing the Taft candidacy. Illinois feels the great popular move
ment for a change in the government and the people of the six
counties in Cannon's district cannot be insenibe TO il. Cannon
ism has an evil meaning to them as it has for the people of other
Congress districts. And if a plurality of fourteen thousand can be
wiped out in a Massachusetts district, is it not possible to wipe out
Cannon's plurality of 1875?
