Oyster War.

The Oyster Police Sloop Louise Whyte,
Capt Hook, Saturday night last discovered
fleet of dredge boats depredating upon
forbidden grounds and fight ensued. The
scene of action was near the mouth of the
PatuXent river. The battle began at about
Ill o'clock, p. m, and continued for over
two 81 huuis. Upwards of 200 shots We're
fired. We have been unable 10 learn
whether anyone was killed or wounded.
Information reached us prior to that
conveying intelligence of the fight that the
dredgcrS were frequently working forbid
den grounds and that the Hawks Nest
bar had been swept almost clean by them.
| The trouble seems TO be that we have not
| cnought boats 10 guard our territory. ST.
| Mary'S has nearly 100 miles of water front
10 guard and the sloops Louise Whyte, on
the Patuxcnt, and the Katie Hines, Jtl0ng.
| ing Ia Charles county, ION the Potomac, are
all We have 10 depend upon. The Cover.
nor Thomas, is oiiiccred by St Mary,
man, but, if we are correctly informed, i:
very seldom given an opportunity TO look
after ST. Marys grounds, being mainly en-
gagged in protecting Eastern Shore interests
In view Of these facts we trust that the
Board of Public Works will give oul
tongers cannons or rifles and let them pro
tect themselves. Up TO date 5l5 tongina
licences have been issued in this county
These men pay for the privilege of taking
oysters and the authority that compel.

iicient regular police force let a special on,

THE FATEs HAVE DEoREED.

As the fates have decrced so b.
#. Contrary TO The expressed vii
Of the popular majority, but in nc
cOrdance with mode, manner ant
form Harrison and Morton are
elected President and Vice Presi'
dent of the United States. We
conceded as much last week, still
claiming, however, a Democratic
hold npon the legislative
branch of the government in the
lower house of congress. Later
reports proved this fact to be 9TH
erwise. With The Doodle holding
The balance of power and the rob
Der barons the strings of a preg-
nant purse, it is no wonder that
erroneous forecasts were made by
honest fgurers or that Democrats
should stand aghast as did Fitz
James before the apparition OF the
copse hidden minions OF The High
land chief rising IN the moment OF
conflict. Honest votes may be
counted by noses, but it is not so
with tools and hIrelings.
The Republicans are now in full
possession of the national govern
ment, executive, legislative and
judicial. This means something
more than mere mutGtiS matdndtS.
1t means first official decapita-
tion-it means the enforcement of
The Democratic South from the
Government as TO intlu-
Pnce, benefits, and protection. No
doubt many a Southern Congress
man will have TO meet a contest
FOR his seat, with the presumption
Of mala tides and election frauds,
real or pretended against him, and
Is to the result, by the past we
udge the future.
AS to the negro, carpetbaggers
md scalawags, we hope IN this, :
will not repeat itself just
'et. There is probably, now, not .
o much food for these disturbing
dement's in Southern politics to :
eed upon asin the dark past, and it ,
5 thoughtthe Republicans may find t
reener pastures for pelf and plum
.er than among their saffron sages i
We hope so, but a burnt child

WE MEAN BUSINESS.

We now give notice to OuI
subscribers that after the first
day of January, 1889, we
shall revise the subscription
list of the DEMOCRAT-STAR,
and shall drop from the list a
number of delinquents that
we have carried as long as
we can afford to unless
settlement is made by that
time. The circulation of the
DEMOCRAT-STAR is becOm-
ing quite large, and without
additional outlay for increase
of facilities we will not be
able to get off the edition
with a much further in
crease. Hence, we cannot
afford to carry delinquents.
There are many Of our old
friends and patrons we would
dislike to drop, but business
is business, and we must con-
fine our edition to paid up,
bona fde subscribers.
We also earnestly request
all indebted to the DEMO
CRAT-STAR for advertising
and job printing to come for
ward at once and settle.

''BOOdlen Won.

Frank Richardson, OF the Balti.
more San, writes from New York
The Out-and-out use of money,
added 10 the influence of local
causes, has made up the Harrison
plurality in this State. To credit
1t TO opposition to tariff reform
among The people is to tnhe with
the truth. When Connecticut and
New Jersey SO Tor Cleveland, it is
folly TO say he lost New York on
account of the tariff. The money
of Pennsylvania mOnopolies and
the treachery of local factions have
lost New York. Cleveland is the
victim, just as Hancock was in
1880. But The popular vote of the
country will demonstrate that tar.
lift reform is on the path to victory,
and the day is correspondingly not
far distant when the control OF the
destinies of The nation will not de-
pend upon The corrupt bargains
or the numbers Of the local poll
ticians.
