TOO POPULAR

The greatest danger confronting popular gov
eernment is that it is likely to become too popular
Democracy is based on the theory that all men
=are born equal which is a fine theory, but when
sarried out in practice does not prove SO ntalhpe.
The consequences of such theory may easily
be seen by study of the filings for office, which
this week have been posted throughout the state
and printed in newspapers in every county
For the lieutenant governors Office for IN
stance there are twenty candidates. How many
of these twenty are qualified to hold this position
of public trust? One or two of the twenty names
stand out those Of men we'll known through
out the state, who by their personal achievements
may be reckoned as men of greater than average
intelligence and integrity properly fitted to serve
the people. Of the others, some are remembered
as veterans Of political battles Of the past several
decades; men who, having once ted at the puphc
trough find it impossible to exc out a living by
their own resources. The others men who have
not yet demonstrated any great ability IN hand
ling public affairs and who, outside their own
circle Of friends are unknown to the voters OF the
state.
For the commissioner of public land office we
find total Of nineteen men on the ballot. Inns
office requires good deal Of technical knowledge
and is very important one to the citizens OF the
state for it handles the selling and leasing OF the
vast state-owned lands. How many of the nineteen
men do know to be qualltled to handle thls
work?
For governor there are fourteen candidates.
This lis the most important office in the state, one
that calls for high degree of ability along many
lines. Undoubtedly, when we elect man to I'LL
this position we should elect man whom we
knew to be qualified in all respects. Not man
vwho merely has vote getting scheme, nor man
xvho: is after personal glory and honor, but man
1vhos capable Of molding the affairs of the state
into salShar1nonious whole
How many of the fourteen are thus quahtledY
Some of 5them are good men, no doubt, but they
7have never accomplished anything spectacular
enough to catch the eye of the public and 50 they
stand no chance against those who have. Others
May DE relegated to the of6ceseekers' class, COM
prised of those who not long stay away from
: the public payroll.
When one sees these on a ballot, de-
prived of all their prediction propaganda and
slogans, the task of selecting the men best fitted
for the various offices becomes decidedly diff
cult one And when we see the results the day at
tex the election, we wonder if it hasn't been
handled in much the same way as lottery
There may be solution, a means OF infal1bly
selecting the best man for each office, but as long
as the ballot is filled with the names OF hundreds
of men, few of whom are known outside their
own community we doubt if it can be found.
Meanwhile, we can hope that the laws Of chance
are favorable and that those surviving the elm
nation contest September will be men we'll

Remedy Perfected.

HE employment OF maggots In the
treatment of human Affections is
widely practiced now. This curing
factor is an excretion of maggots
known as allantoin. Means have been
perfected now to produce this sub
stance without resort to maggots.
All mageots, however, are not pos
sessed of this curative property. In
fact. many are harmful to human
beings and are the object Of consid-
cradle concern on occasions.
For instance, the maggots of several
species of flies such as the flesh flies,
the rat-tailed maggot and the n.tle
house fly enter the human system
through food and cause severe intes-
tinal pain.
Then there is the nose bot fly which
normally affects the sinuses of sheep
and goats. They sometimes nv

eggs in the eye at the time of contact
with the maggots developing If the eye
Is not thoroughly cleaned.
In the temperate sections of the
country the larvae of parasitic flies
often are deposited particularly on
children. The larvae burrow beneath
the skin and produce boil-like erup-
tions which clear up quickly. once the
maggots are removed.

"One evening in the early part Of
December a crowd of men we're sitting
in the little tavern in Georgetown,
awaiting the arrival Of the Baltimore
stage coach. AS usual, their CONVEX
sation was confined to the current
subject-the Strathmores. Each one
in his turn had some startling piece
of news as to what had transpired
lately on the island. One man was
relating what Mrs. So-and-So had
heard from somebody's servant, who
was we'll acquainted with the man
who helped build Mr.. Strathmore's S

Mason was forced to build q residence
elsewhere.
In 1884 w. w. Corcoran advertised
the property for rent in the National
Intelligencer Of September Is. During
the same year, on July 4, there was a
grand balloon ascension at "Analostan

In 1912 the estate was transferred
TO John Carter. and William A. Brad
ley, Mayor Of Washington, 1834-5, be-
came the owner in 1851. Very likely
the former mayor bought the property
for speculative purposes, for q year
later we find printed in The George
town Advocate" the following state
ment regarding the property:
The island contains upward of
100 acres. The western part forms
the regular graduation to Back River

shore, erected at O cost Of 1000 or

However, Mr.. Bradley did not die
until August 2s, 1867. and was still
possessed OF the property up to that
time. The deed for the property to
Mr.. Bradley, according to Miss Maud
Burr Morris. describes 1t as all that
tract called Analostan Island lying
in the Potomac River opposite George
town and originally patented by
Charles Lord Baron Of Baltimore, to
Randolph Brunett in 1882, for rs
years. and conveyed by Francis Ham
mersley to George Mason in 1777, and
devised by him to his son. John
Mason, and conveyed by Richard
Smith, trustee, to John Carter in
1912" John Marbury. executor of
John Carter, conveyed to Bradley.
MAYOR BRADLEY was one of the
founders of The Association of
the Oldest Inhabitants of the District
Of Columbia and q vice president, and
on October ;, 1866, the members of
the association were his guests at the
island, and subsequent to his death,
the association held outings there
upon several occasions. Just whether
the old mansion was still standing in
1866. is uncertain. though it Is au-
thoritatively stated to have been
totally destroyed by fire in 1869. Dur
ing the Civil War, the First District
Of Columbia Volunteers (colored
troops were encamped there. and 1t
does seem quite lkely-unless there
is proof to the contrary-that it was
destroyed about this time.

by his wife and two daughters. He
was unknown here, and from his
reticent manner 1t was evident he
did not care about forming new
acQuaintances. Arrivals from abroad
we're not as frequent then as now
and people Of an inquisitive nature
were considerably disappointed at not
being able to learn something Of his
history.
About a month after his arrival
he purchased the property now known
as Analostan Island. and during the
six months that followed it was the
scene of wonderful transformations.
Vessels were dispatched for lumber,
upon the arrival of which building
commenced at once. Men were put
to work clearing the wild growth
of timber, laying out walks and
drives, digging a well and cistern,
making an ice house. a landing for
boats and such other Improvements
as the owner desired.
The latter part of November Mr.,
Strathmore and family took posses
sion of their beautiful home. The
dwelling-a two-story frame-was
situated in the center Of the island,
facing Georgetown. 1t contained IA
large rooms. quite a number Of which
were magnificently fitted up with
furniture and works OF art imported
from England

The afternoon OF the eleventh day
an Indian sauntered into the hotel
and inquired for the hah-breed. who.

to the Englishmans apartments.
That night was one probably never

filled with strong, brave men, who,
upon reaching the island, used every
effort to extinguish the flames, but
without success.
Prom the half-breed it was learned
that Mr.. Savoy had employed an
Indian to deliver q letter to Miss
Eileen. He was to bring an answer,

STATE INTERNAL
REVENUE SHOWS
LARGE INCREASE
Collections for Nine Months
S5,985,872 More Than
Last Year.

Collection of internal revenue in
Indiana from all sources for the
nine months period ending March
81 totaled $50, ,544. an increase
of s5,sS5,s72 over the corresponding
period of last year, Will H. Smith,
collector, reported today.
This gain was made in spite of
the fact that s7,5OO.94S was coll
lected on AAA processing taxes in
1885 as against only $685., 1872 from
this source this year." he said.
Income tax collections for the
period this year amounted to Sl4,-
$751; as against S10,021 ,306 for
the same length of time last year."
Mr.. Smith added. This increase
justifies the conclusion that collec-
tons for the II months period.
ending June 80, will exceed the
amount brought in during the 1885
fiscal year. Last years figure was
