Republican Reorganization.

The Baltimore american of Wednesday has
a very amusing editorial on a reorganization
of the Republican party in this state, In which
all reformers are invited to join in the reOr-
ganization. 1t says that the work of reform
ing the city and state governments is now to
be done. just imagine the Republican party
reforming anything la party that has prac-
ticed extravaganza for twenty -four years, and
under whose administration of national affairs
the most appalling fraud, peculation and ras-
cality prevailed. The highest taxed counties
in Maryland to-day are those under Republic
can rule, and so are the highest taxed states,
except in the South, where high taxes are the
result of Republican Carpet-Bag rule during
the Reconstruction period.
The american reaches the climax of redic-
uiousness, however, when itsays, ''the incen-
tive to young men of brains and character to
enter the reorganization of the Republican
party in this state is now very great. +"
There is no surer road to obscurity for
young men of brains and character than for
them to ally themselves with that party. If
the Republican party, which has no principle,
except the principle of holding Office, could
net rise in this state with thousands of offices
in its gift, how can it hope to do so now with
all its expectations gone? For eighteen years
it has been beaten annually, and will continue
to be under that name and under its present
leaders. It will be many years before the
people of this state will ever trust the Repub-
lican party with the administration of affairs.
It's record when in power here is well remem-
bered, and its national record will be fresh
for many years to come.

War News.

The Barrios scheme to form the Central
American states into one republic seems to
have collapsed with the death of Barrios. A
basis of peace has been accepted between
Guatemala and San Salvador, and hostilities
have ceased.
On the Isthmus of Panama quiet reigns
The route from Aspinwall to Panama is open,
and United States forces will soon return
home.
Negotiations for peace have been opened
between the rebel leader Rel and the Cana
dian authorities, and war on our northern
frontier will not be of long duration.
Russia and England are glaring at each
other, and war is said to be inevitable. Ex-
plantations of the Russian attack on the Aft
ghans are being inquired into by England,
and Russia is evasive in her replies. As the
sporting fraternity would say, both sides are
sparring for an opening, and both governments
are making most extraordinary preparations
for war. Peace or war will probably be de-
cided on next week, when England will re-
ceive from her own agents reports of the re-
cont conflict

Senator Sherman spoke briafF in the Cham
Der of Commerce at Cincinnatis on Saturday.
He said among other things that the signs of
the times pointed to renewal Of business
activity. He believed that President Cleve-
land meant to insist ON honesty and fidelity in
the public business. A few months ago
Sherman was predsasing business depression
and general cha0s,of affairs in the event of
Clevelands election, but he finds he was mis-
taken, if he we've not speaking for buncombe-
His belief aOm that Cleveland means to insist
on honesty and fidelity IN the public business
is bass2 on.the fact that he has begun to turn
therasealsont, which Sherman party refused
to do. It is quite likely Sherman is filling his
last term in the Senate, and is taking phil
osophieal view of affairs.

cent conflict.

The Bulletin ventures to express the hope
that Baltimore city will not send incompetent
legislators to Annapolis the coming session,
in view of the election of Governor, o. S.
Senator, the pending belt question, and other
important legislation. Baltimore has not
been remarkable for the intellectual strength
of her representatives, for some time. She
was better represented when she had but two
delegates, than she has been since with her
eighteen. While she has added to her num-
bers, she has seemed to have lost in the intel
lectual strength and qualifications of her del
egates, who, although numerous enough to be
in each others way, show very little capacity
for effective work The Bulletin very prop
erly deprecates the selection of such incom-
petents in the future. While she has occa-
sionally sent strong man to represent herin
the Legislative halls, it has been the exception
and not the rule

The Maryland Press.

The Baltimore Sun, american and Herald
have a good time blowing their own horns
and attempting to belittle each other. The
Sun is the greatest in circulation, influence
and advertising patronage. In the latter it
very likely more than doubles the combined
circulation Of the Herald and american. Al
though gradually growing sensational, the San
is still regarded as reliable, and what it pub
fishes is usually believed to be true. The
american and Herald are both good Of their
kind, but the kind is not of the best. Both
do not seem to be particular about the quality
or correctness of their matter, so it is read
able. The american is too large for general
convenience, and its columns are padded to.
a ridiculous extent, as observed by newspaper
men. Its politics do not suit the section in.
which it is published, andmaking politics one
Of its chief features it cannot expect to have
large circle Of readers. The Herald is a
newsy little paper to those who take no other,
and is waspishly. Republican. It is a, good
paper for the price, but neither the american
nor Herald can compare with the Sun, whose
chief fault consists in its too exalted opinion
Of itself, its continually blowing about the
great returns received by its advertisers, and
the belief in its own infallibility. The Sun
never makes mistakes, in its own estimation.
Or perhaps it never corrects errors because
such corrections would destroy its assumed
infallibility.
As to editorial ability, neither paper has
any to brag Of The Sun rarely expresses an
opinion on an important political matter, until
the great dailies of the country have spoken,
and ON state and city topics it is either evasive
or guided by the financial interests of its pro
prietor. The american and Herald are usnalr
ly insipid and on important political events
partisan zeal brushes out better and consarRa-
tive Judgment. Maryland editorial ability is
chiefly confined to the county press. and as
examples we mention the Port Tobacco
Iines, the Upper Marlboro ERqaiTer, the
Hagerstown Nelcs, Anne Arunaeh 4dreTtiser,
and the Easton Ledger, on the. Democratic
side; and the Cecil Whi9, and Hagerstown
Herald & Torch on the Republican. Otherson
both sides might be named, bat these are suf-
Gent. These papers have circumscribed
field but either one has more advertising
patronage and more Influence, in comparison,
than, any BALTIMORE daily. The people-that
is. the great body Of them-do not read daily
papers. They have not the time, and depend
upon their local papers. They become at
tached to them and rely on them.

fhs Trade Of Baltimore.


The editorial writer's of the Baltimore Sun
should compare notes before giving out their
articles for publication. In the leading edi-
torial on Tuesday, noticing 1.-THE Sun as an
Index of Business Activity occurs the fol-
lowing, the italics being ours =
Notwithstanding the usual bac kwardness Of the
this year, the exceptionally crowded eondi-
ton of THE SUNS advertising columns for the past
few weeks affords the best possible eEiexnce of
healthy activity IN the spring trade Of Bdlsan0r and of
generally prosperous condition Of d6alssi1 this city,
In another editorial, in speaking Of the city
tax rate, the writer says:
at is gratifying that the tax rae is not increased
by the committee as IL was lest year. but it would
have been more gratfyngs IN gelC Of the depressed
state Of trade, If the rate hakfbeen somewhat lower
Readers of the S1a.arsri in doubt about the
state of trade in the great business centre
viii that iOArnal please state whether there is
a "healthy activity auda generally prosper
GUS, condition, of affairs'' IN Baltimore, or
whether there is depressed state of trade. -
Perhaps the great luminary imagined thatthe
business interests of Baltimore centred in the
Sun, which has large patronage at present.
But is it not a fact that good business men
advertise most when trade is duh, IN order to
revive it?
