Successful Service Ended.

DR.. A. ]. Fristoe, minister of the
Baptist faith, who has been holding
special services at Deer Park under the
auspices of Rev. C. w. Hudson, the
Baptist preacher in charge of the work
in Garrett county, terminated his labors
on last Sunday, preaching twice at
Deer Park that day. He also held ser
vices every night, the church being.flled
to repletion, even on Saturday night, an
unusual night for religions services.
The Sunday services were of especial
interest and at the conclusion of the
afternoon service, the full congregation
witnessed the ordination of baptism by
immersion. The congregation was
augmented by large throng of OBJ
servers who witnessed the baptism
from points of vantage.
Previous to the baptism of the candi-
dates by the regular pastor, Rev. C. W.
Hudson, Rev. Fristoe read the passage
of scripture authorizing baptism by i'm
mersion.
Sunday night Mr. Fristoe repeated
by request one of the week day ser
mons, the topic being ''The Rending of
the Veil.

tisan advantage would range the state
against the federal compact to revive
an issue that was settle at a cost that
serious-minded citizens do not care to
reflect upon. Here is no broad principle
at stake; no dividing issue of national
import; it is simply and solely the pur
pose to set up the rule of political oil
garchy in Maryland to make this one
party state. The country at large re-
CARDS the propose action of the Demo-
cratic bosses with incredulity and
amazement. From all sides of comes
the query: Is this the grade of political
intelligence and character that prevails
in Maryland.
Democrats the country over are cry
ing desist. They are uttering the warn
ing in no uncertain tones that one state
cannot set at naught the compact of the
sisterhood. They are declaring that
the de facto law of the land for forty
years can never, and will never, be set
aside by the Supreme Court. They are
laying in advance blame for the defeat
of their ambitions for control of the
next House of Representatives upon
the mad men of Maryland, who are also
being warned that the execution of
their proposed scheme will result in the
placing of the United States marshals
at the windows in Maryland elections
and will cut down the representation of
this state in Congress. All this comes
from Democratic sources. And more
yet, from the South comes the indignant
protest against the proposed course as
sure to bring about the overthrow of
the prevailing disfranchisement meas
ures, in such states. No matter how
salutary they may be regarded in the
Southern States their existence is pre-
carious at best and VIII be terminated
through the action of the Maryland
Democrats. The men responsible for
the Democratic caucus have already as
sured themselves a characterization in
history that will be infinitely just, but
everlastinglv discreditable.

ANOTHER ATTACK ON THE FIJI
TENTH AMENDMENT.

The amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution which prohibits any State
from refusing the suffrage to any per-
son on account of race, color or pre-
Vious condition of servitude has been
considered as much a part of the or
ganic law as is the ksectlon which pro
hibits the taking Of properly without
due process of law. =. 1t has been as
sumed to be as settled.as the issue OF
negro slavery, as well determined as
the result of the CiviIsWar.
We do not thinksthe people of the
State have regarded seriously the talk
heard in the last few months of an in
tentiOn to challenge the validity of the
amendment asiit affects this State, and
we doubt If many of them believe now
that the effort to do so, determined
upon at a Democratic caucus recently,
is made in the expectation that it will
be successful. The majority of the
people, we are sure, will look upon it as
last despairing effort to get rid of the
negro; an effort joined in honestly by
many white men in Southern Maryland
because they believe mistakenly as we
think - that negro suffrage hinders
their progress. The movement is urged
on by the camp followers and by Demo-
Gratis who do mot think there is the
slightest chance of success, for no bet
ter reason, wesimagine, than that they
haven t!the moral courage to stand up
against any blow aimed at the negro.
LAWYERS can usually find basis for an
argumentsgon technicalities so small
that the.layman cannot see them at all.
There are times, too, when the courts,
in responsible some overwhelming pub
lie sentiment, read into the law things
that opensthe eyes of those who believe
that what is writ is writ But hereto
fore judges have been slow to nullify
the plain letter of the Constitution or
what it has beenI construed, for more
than a third of itsslife, to mean.

MAD MEN OF MARYLAND.

Senator Chambers dubbed the perpe-
traitors of the Democratic caucus scheme
for an attack upon the Constitution of
the United States as the villa scheme of
the mad men of Maryland. Practically
without exception the intention to vio-
late the faith of the state with its citi-
zenship and at the same time to create
Instruction against the highest law of
the land under cover of pretended legis-
lation is denounced the country over
not only by Republicans, but by Demo-
Gratis and Democratic newspapers.
Looking as it does to the stand of def
ance toward the Fourteenth and Fiji
teenth Amendments to the Constitution
upon the ground that they were never
formally ratified by this state is pal
pable plan for stealing the state and
holding it in brigandage during the time
necessary for the faction of the insur-
gents to be passed upon by the Supreme
Court. In the meanwhile the revolu-
tionary administration and It's acts
would be the de facto law of the land.
So that the scheme proposes an era of
political pillage. period of political
rowdyism, siege of outlawry in political
Office that would stamp this state with
the stigma of being the worst governed
and least independent of any state dur
ing the term of the federal compact.
Without warrant of a single express
sion from the people, without the oues-
ton ever having been submitted in a
campaign, without any effort whatever
to follow public opinion, the men who
govern the legislators have issued their
mandate. The subservient tools of as
guileful, malicious, heartless. desperate
and smooth set of bosses as ever trod
upon the political Institutions of any
state obeyed the edict of their masters,
and hence Maryland is placed in the
least creditable light of any state in the
history of the Union. Some liberation
can be felt for the devices resorted to
by those who play politics as a game,
but there can be nothing but contempt
for those in public office and sworn to
uphold the laws of the land, who for
the desperate ends of personal and par

Politics in School Affairs.


The education of the State
should be in the hands of and
under the control of the people
under a board elected by them
and responsible to them; instead
of a board named by the Cover,
nor and removable by him at
will. This undemocratic condi.
ton is intensified just at present
by the fact that the Superinten-
dent OF Education is himself an
appointee of the Governor, in.
stead of being chosen by the peo.
pie as the Constitution requires.
This, however, we cannot but
regard as independent of the
textbook problem now before
the people and an investigating
committee, although it is proba.
bic that a Board of Education
chosen directly by the people
would have been more in sympa-
thy with them, and would not
have been guilty of unloading so
heavy a burden on them at this
time. In view of the demand of
the people for the control of their
schools, which has resulted in
making the Office of school direc-
tor elective, it seems strange
that nc provision should have
been made for the election also
OF the State Board of Education,
which exercises such great pow.
ers and claims more, and which,
as we see, is able in this case TO
levy a $500, 900 text book tax, and
the election of the Superinten-
dency Of Education in case of
death or resignation. This is a
matter which will probably re.
ceive the attention of the Legis-
lature at its coming session, but
the textbook changes are a spe
cial matter, which calls for thor.
Ough investigation, so as to pre-
vent such raids as have been
made on the school books, no
matter what board, whether
elected by the people or appoint
ed by the Governor, has the Sc
lection. Other States have laws
to protect the people from text
book raids; and if this State is
left still unprotected, the people
must see to it that public opinion
puts an end to this great abuse
of which they are the victims. :
