4arrInoton WIls b MargIana.

Baltimore Comptroller Emerson @.
Harrington, the Democratic candidate
for Governor, was elected. His plural
ity over Roads Chairman o. 3. Weller,
Republican, was estimated at $500.
Albert C. Ritchie, Democratic candi-
date for Attorney General, ran ahead
of Mr.. Harrington considerably, and
Hugh A. McMullen, candidate for
Comptroller, ran about evenly with the
candidate for Governor.
Mr.. Harrington was elected by the
vote in Baltimore city. 1t is con-
servatively estimated that the pre-
cincts still out will increase Mr.. Har-
rington's plurality in the city to about
1000.
That plurality in the city probably
will be decreased by the result in Bal
timore county where there was a
Democratic slump that was little less
than astounding. Instead of the Demo
cratic plurality Of from 1900 to $500
that the leaders there expected, it is
probable that the county will give a
plurality of 500 to Mr.. Weller, and will
elect part Of the Republican local
ticket.
State Senator Carville D. Benson,
who was a candidate for reelection,
seems to have been one of the local
Democratic candidates who went down
to defeat. He has probably been de-
feated by N. D. R. Allen, a COM
paratively unknown man, who was
nominated by the Republican State
Central Committee at the last moment
to take the place of John s. Ensor,
who was killed by a street car. For
the last II years Senator Benson has
been one Of the most influential mem
bers of the Legislature and in recent
sessions he has been regarded gener-
ally as the most potent individual force
in either branch.

Uses of "putch Courage. ;

Dutch courage" is likely to be subject of considerable controversy before the war is over, and in Eng land some opposition has been stirred up by the forwarding of rum for the use of the troops in France, says the Springfield Republican. How far the cZar's prohibition ukase extends is not yet quite clear; the Russian off cers are sai dto be abstaining from cers are said to be abstaining from wine as a good example to the troops. but whether no alcoholic drinks at all are allowed does not yet appear That Germany is not going so far is shown by the report if it is correct, that among the daily supplies requisi- tion from Antwerp are 2.000 bottles of wine. And if the cellars of cham pagne have been spared, things have indeed changed nightly since 1870. In his Sudan campaign Lord Kitch- ener allowed his men no spirits, if ration of rum is now to be served it may be on account of the supposed exigency of the climate. Even in this respect the weight of scientific opinion is against alcohol, and the views of polar explorers, which should carry some weight, are divided. But seem to favor the ration of rum, per- haps as creature comfort rather than on scientific grounds.
