The Baltimore Fusionists.

After much caucussing the Chronic kickers
and Republicans of Baltimore last week NOM
mated ticket that was made out in Mr. John
X. Governs office three weeks previous, and
published in the Baltimore Ne,cs at the time.
1t is fusion ticket, of gray and black spirits
1t is put up by people who are tired of 'boss p
dictation and the rule of the criminal class
es." Cowen dictated the ticket, and Slater,
the "boss" gambler. is one of its chief sup
porters. The original Cowen ticken had Mr..
Thomas S. Baer on for Chief Judge, but the
negro element rebelled against him, and Mr..
Robert H. Smith, Republican, had to be
put in his place to please the coiored end OF
the combination. Mr.. Cowen also prepared
platform, but it was repudiated by the Re-
publicans, the latter claiming to stand on the
Republican state platform. The Cowen plat
form had a civil service plank, and relegates
the tariff to the arena of national politics. 1t
also saws there is no use for Democratic or
Republican principles in municipal govern
ment. The Republican state platform en-
dorses Protection, and various Republican
clubs of Baltimore have denounced and re-
pudiated civil service.
Altogether the fusion is a mixed affair, and
no one can tell where it stands. The kickers
and Republicans are wide apart on theory,
and the pursuit of power and spoils is the only
common bond of union. In the event Of sue
cess, an awful fight would result over the
spoils, and the parties to the fusion would
hate each other with bitterness and inten-
sity they now manifest against the Democrats.
But fusion and failure, when applied to
politics, are synonymous terms, and there will
be the biggest Democratic majority in the
city next month that has been rolled mp for

Tanner and Pensions.
From The Ny. evening Post

The unfortunate Tanner has been publicly
Inundated once more for his simplicity in
following out Gen. Harrisons campaign dec
Iaration that this is no time to use the
apotheearys scale TO measure the rewards Of
men who saved the country In order to
furnish the most conspicuous possible illus
,raiion Of the fact that the apothecary's
scale" had been discarded, the corporal
picked out weil.fo-do official, Senator Man
derson, Of Nebraska, jumped the rate Of his
pension up from SO TO $50 per month, aud
sent him s., 800 back pay. When this out
rageous performance was exposed last summer
All hands concerned attempted to brazen il
out, Mr. Henderson himself telling an Omaha
reporter that it was nobody's business. But
the force Of public opinion has made itself
felt, aud both the Interior Department and
the Nebraska Senator have been constrained
to bow before il. Secretary Noble recently
informed Mr. Henderson thai 1.-THE rerating,
having been without application and without
medical examination, was not IN pursuance
of the usual practice, was not IN compliance
with the rule and was therefore unwarranIed;'
and the Senator, finding that there was
nothing else to do, has returned the rerated
certificate and the 81, 800, although he does it
with i'll grace. So far the experiment OF
running the United States Government on
what may be called the hay scale basis has
not been a success.

Congressman McComas says that President
Harrison is not disposed to remove Demo
Gratis before their terms expire. This may be
true, in regard to some offices, but the fact
remains that there are forty or fifty postofhees
in Maryland where the Democratic ineum-
bents have died or resigned, and these can be
6lled at once. There is no law against even re-
moving Democratic incumbents in these cases.
But they are virtually vacant, and would be
filed, but for political reasons. The appoint
ments are held up in order to get political
work out of all aspirants. If the appoint
ments are made now, it is thought some can
didates for these positions will become luke
warm. In the meantime Democrats are
drawing salaries Republicans think they ought
to have.

s.tbe Introduction of a more faithful and eco

We have already shown that the school OH
cials cost only $40 more now than when the
system was under Republican control; that
hooks cost less. and that the rate per capita
for educating the children IS less lhere
seems to be no way to reduce expenses ex,
cept by reducing the salaries of teachers, and
if the Republicans mean TODD this, they ought
to have said so frankly. The teachers are
getting only meagre salaries now, and any
reduction would tend to drive some of the
best into other pursuits or out of the county.
The teachers will not look with favor upon
any proposition to reduce their salaries

How Agriculture is Handicapped.
From the baltimore sun.

twill probably be a surprise to our farmers,
tobacco and cotton planters, and the raisers
of hogs and beef cattle, to learn that ~ per
cent. of all the exports that constitute the
basis of our exchanges with foreign countries
are derived from agriculture. The official
reports for 1888 show that the total value OF
ali exports of domestic merchandise was
SGs3. s62, l04. OF this aggregation OF exports
thg value Of the agricultural exports OF all
kinds amounted to $500, $40, 900, while the
total amount of our manufactured products
exported was but Sl8S, O22, 0ls. The back
bone, therefore, of ali our dealings with for
eign countries is our agriculture. 1t IS the
fate of our farming, planting and stoe k raising
population that the home price OF all agricul'
turaI commodities is governed by the price
they bring in foreign markets, and IS IN no
way benefited by the tariff, whereas the tariff
puts an extra price on all the farmer buys by
excluding competition. The consequence is
that the farmer, the planter and the stock
raiser are compelled to sell at prices liked for
them abroad and to buy at prices liked Tor
them at home.
