eS-h Is gratifying to note the fact that Col
Harrison Adreon, Baltimore ciiy's eGieien, post
master, Is putting forth his best efforts to secure
better facilities for the towns and cities Of West
ern Mary land by which the mail. can be deliver
ell early in the morning instead Of late In the day,
as at present. The Postmaster is an earnest
worker and there u no doubt but that his efforts
will be crowned with suecess. The Baltimore .gan,
apPreeiating the advantages to be gained by the
success Of Col. Adreon's efforts. has spoken, edi-
toriaiiy, In complimentary terms Of that official,
which is gratifying to his many friends aud
shows also that the San is always ready TO CON.
mend any measure which will secure Efficient mail
service and by tha, means accommodate the bu.i.
ness men Of the towns and cities around Bal,i.
more. The railroad companies, Il Is to be hoped,
will submit to the demands Of the public and give
the better facilities withou, delay.

Eo-0n Saturday afternoon last while the as.
sassin, Guiteau, was being removed from the eour,
house In Washington to the jail, a man named
William Jones followed the prison van on horse
back and when in quis, part Of the city he ap-
preached to within few feet Of the van and fred
shot at Guiteau from . revolver. Jones then
turned about and putting his horse in full run,
made his escape. lie was Afterwards arrested and
lodged In jail on the charge Of assault with in

JeS-The gradual decline Of Democratic rnajori
ties in this State is significant. In ls6s Seymour
carried Maryland by 81 1919; 10 1879 Hamilton.
majority was e?.i66; in Issl Heating. |. about
l3.ooO-and 10000 of that was given in Baltimore
city, principally by the usual methods. The last
Legislature stood senate-2l Democrats, Repub-
liean'; liouse-G5 Democrats; 81 Republican,
A few years before We had not representative in
the State anywhere. The next Legislature will
stand senaie-lG Democrats; 10 Republican,
liouse-Gi Democrats; 30 Republicans. The
people are evidently getting tired Of the long con
tinued Encouragement Of State affairs. Another
year or two and the present managers Of the Dem
ocraiic party will have reached the end Of their
rope. They will have no smooth road to travel
in the coming session Of the Legislature and their
desperate effort, to regain what they have lost
will eonsummate their fall.

Tho Maddux Murder Case.

The charge against Mr.. Michael Bannon of
completely in the killing oi Dr. 7. Clay Maddux
at the polls at Oienton, Anne Arundel county, at
the late election, vas heard before Judge Ham
mond, at Annapolis. last Saturday, and resulted
in the discharge Of the accused, against whom, as
in,imatei last week, there vas not the IL shtest
evidence. Referring to this the Baltimore S--
says;
at is . matter of sincere eongraiaIation that =
citizen 30 widely known and who has filled such
respectable and responsible positions Mr.. Han.
non should be % entirely exonsrated, not Only
from all eolnpiieity in heinous = crime as that
of murder, bat even from any suspicion of sueh
completely. The evidence before Judge Ham.
mOnd, ~ the judge very clearly shows, presented
no single Circumstance tending 10 incuipate Mr..
Bsnnon except the single fact that be held a
whispered conversation with Mr.. Wheeler, Who l.
accused of having hred the fatal shot, shortly be-
fore the killing. There 10 nothing 10 show What
was the subject or parpoTt of that conversation,
and 10 infer thAt because . candidate was seen
talking eOn6dentially 1t the polls 90 one of his
most active PartisanS, that he was insiigating or
eounsrling the latter 10 commit murder. uoald
certainly be . most extraordinary and unheard-of
assumption. IL only illustrates the intensity of
the partisan and personal feeling that eharaeier-
iEed the late contest In Anne Arundel county that
90 grave . charge should have been preferred
upon such slight and unsubstantiAl grounds. and
regarded as furnishing probable cause" for Mr.
Bannon's arrest"

waiting requirements Of the ordinary policy is, that
