On account of the number OF sui
cides, and the frequent crimes COM
mitted by the use OF the poison Rough
on Rats" the authorities of Pennsyl
yania are about TO take decided mea-
sures to prevent It's sale. President
Robbins OF the State Pharmaceutical
Examining Board, has issued circu-
lar warning druggists that they are
liable TO be held responsible for selling
tina article Unfortunately, the same
as they would be for any Other poison.
There is no trouble for any one, even a
child to obtain this poison, and while
the druggist would hesitate to sell an
adult five cents worth of arsenic, there
is not the slightest difficulty expert
enced in obtaining this. To be sure
If persons wish to commit suicide oil
10 murder some one, there are always
plenty of means for them to accom-
plish their purpose, but tits particulai
poison has come into such general use
that its sale will, for the safety Of th'
community, have 10 be restricted.

PRESIDENT HAnRIsoN's excellent

PRESIDENT HARRIsoNs excellent
message gives especial attention 10 the
Iolored vote, in the following para
graph:
al earnestly invoke the attention OF
Congress to the consideration of such
mt aHures within Its well-delned constitu.
tiopal powers as VII secure to all our
people free exercise of the right OF suit
iraKe and every other civil right under
the Constitution and laws Of the United
States. No evil however deplorAble
can Justify the assumption, either on the
part OF thu Executive or Of Congress, Of
powers not granted; but both will be
highly blamable If all the powers granted
are not wisely but firmly used to correct
those evils. The power to take the whole
diie.tion and control OF the election OF
members of the House OF Repre- enta-
lives is clearly given to the general gov
eminent. A partial and qualified super
vision of thesel elections 10 now provid-
I'D for by law, and in my opinion this
law may be SO strengthened and extend
ed as TO secure on the whole better re-
suits than can be attained by a law tax
ing all the processes oil such election into
Federal control. The colored man should
be protected In all his relations 10 the
Federal government, whether as litigRnt,
Juror, or witness in our courts, as an
elector for members OF Congress, or as a
peaceful traveller upon our later State
Eailways."
This strikes at the root Of the evil,
and is worthy of the attention of Con
gress. There is no doubt whatever
that everything concerning the cleo
ton Of members of Congress is within
the control of the Senate and House Of
Representatives, and as citizens in
some of the States are deprived of the
right Of suffrage, it is about time that
Congress had given some attention to
The matter.

PRESIDENT HARRISON has filled the
vacancy on the bench of the United
States Supreme Court by nominating
Judge Brewer of Kansas as an Asso.
ciste Justice to succeed the late Stanley
Matthews. Judge Brewer is but little
known in this section, but Justice
Miller, with whom he has been as.
ISOLATED in Kansas, speaks of him In
the highest terms. The appointment
will no doubt give general satisfaction
to all, except the other aspirants for
the position, and their iriends. Presi-
dent Harrison has shown his wisdom
In this appointment by selecting a
much younger man than is generally
taken for the Supreme bench.

JupaE LYNCH is dominant in Mary
land, and Oh Tuesday morning body
of masked men went TO the Jail at
Upper Marlboro, and after taking out
q man awaiting trial for arson, hanged
him on a bridge, This is an outrage
that should not be permitted 10 pass
UNPUBLISHED. Maryland, the same as
the other States, has sufficient laws to
punioh all offenders, and the la"
should be allowed TO take its course.
Men who mask themselves and take
men out in this manner are at guilty
IA those on whom they execute thcu
vengeance 1t is hoped that every
man concerned IN this outrage may h
ferroted out and PUNISHED to the iui
extent of the Law. They should be
made an example of, so that oIhoft
will be deferred from being guilty o
the same crime.

THERE has been considerable fault
found with the collectors, and we
have done our part in censuIing them,
but at the same time it must Lot be
forgotten that they are complying with
the strict letter OF the law. This law
is so cunningly framed that they are
only required TO sit fifteen hours dur
ing the entire year to receive taxes.
Neither should 1t be forgotten that
this beautiful, and to Democrats, so
long as they have the control, highly
satisfactory law, was dictated by that
apostle OF Delaware Democracy,
Thomas F Bayard. This law, which
was passed in 1878 at Mr. Bayard's
command, makes it possible for two
men 10 dlslrsnchise hundreds, and il
necessary thousands OF their fellow
citizens to perpetuate themselves in
power. This is one of the two only
successful things that Mr.. Bayard ever
did, the other being the law in rels-
tion TO jurics in United States Courts
which makes it impossible to convict .
man of voting Illegally. The outra
geous tax laws will never be repealed
uutil we have Republican Legisla
iure, and we never expect TO hay,
tax collectors that will collect the tal
from white or black Republicans auC
Dem ocrats until we have Republican
Levy Court. These are facts that ar'
worthy the consideration of all wht
are in favor OF good government AM
equal rights for all. For years hun
dreds OF citizens have been disfrau
chised, and it is about time that come

THERE is no more peculiar family
than the Glenns, two sisters and a
brother, who live in Urbana, O. All
are unmarried, and John, the
brother, is a study. There was
once three boys. The father was
odd. He would never go in debt.
Once he went to buy the boys a coat
each, but his money gave out and
he only got two. He told John the
circumstances and said he would
get him one next time. John got
mad, said hc need never buy HIM
one, and that ne would never wear
one 50 long rs his father lived. Go
ing to his room, John remained
there fourteen years without coat,
and no one ever saw him out of
that room. His meals were sent to
him, and he sat there and read and
thought. When the father died
John came out, put on a coat and
went to the funeral. After the
father died the children, none Of
whom ever married, although all
had been carefully educated, de-
cided to have the whole house fres-
