The detection Of all the States undet
notice would leave the remainder Of tie
Southern tier--the still solid South--with
only eighty three electoral votes. Il
would be utterly impossible for the Dem
ocrats TO make gains in the North suffi-
cient to balance the loss OF seventy cleo
toral woes in its ancient stronghold.
Even should Virginia, West Virginia.
Maryland, and Delaware, States in which
with n full and free vote and fair count,
Republican success would seem certain
renounce their old and ruinous Democrat
ic alliance. the 1853 votes of the solid
South" would be reduced TO l24; the cleo
toral votes of the whole country, includ-
ing the Dakotas, Montana and Washing
ION, being 4l3. This, counting the North
ern vote as in 1888. would give the Demo-
cratic strength as:

There are two differences from these
compilations of figures. First, it is evil
dent that, despite OF the apathy of North
ern Republicans to the needs and aspira-
tions of their brethren in the Southern
tier, the ghost of negro supremacy has
been made 10 walk the stage too often by
Southern oligarchs; it no longer terrihes.
The economies are working their remorse-
less way in the South. Southern solidity
can not endure for any great length of
time. And, second, it is the hounden
duty of the Republican party in the North
to hasten this desirable disruption. The
South should be flooded with protectionist
literature; its farmers taught the value of
home markets, its laborers the effect Of
competition upon The price of labor, its
siorekeepers the benefc al effects of high
wages upon retail trade. And the best
time to teach is while party feeling is
calm. campaign of education should
be in constant progress Ocean.

DISTINGUISHING Republicans.

The Florida Legislature, Democratic, of
course, Is considering n bill drawn osten-
sibly in the interest of honest @ ections.
Ii is only necessary to say it is modelled
on the lines of the South Carolina bill
for color disfranchisement, with a few
modern Improvements, to make IT APP
parent at once that 1T is drawn In the in
tere st of dishonest elections. 1t provides
that national and State elections shall lie
held on the same day, but the boxes for
national tickets are to be separate from
those for State candidates. If this were
all the bill would not be seriously OBJ
jectionable. 1t goes farther, however,
and provides that there shall be separate
and distinct ballots for Governor, adj
ministrative Offices of the Executive
Department. State Senator, Repre-
sentatives in the Legislature, Justices
of the Supreme Court, county
officers, Congressman, and Presiden-
tial Electors. In other words, there
are TO be eight separate loxes, and of
course eight sets of Demo cratic election
Judges and clerks. Every elector will have
to cast eight ballots, and TO make confu-
sion worse COMPOUNDED the bill also pro-
vides that tickets shall lie printed ia the
English. German, aud Spanish languages.
The bill assumes to be In the interest of
honest elections. Ii really proceeds upon
the assumption that the voters of Florida
can cast co rectly ght different tickets in
eight different boxes, and presupposes ev-
cry voter is intelli- ent enough TO select
the correct tickets, boxes aud language,
which is manifestly absurd. AS every
vote incorrectly cast will be thrown out.
it follows that thousands of electors will
be DISTINGUISHED, AMI it is evident the
voter will receive TO help from the judges
or clerks in depositing his votes correctly.
The bill is sin p V scheme for whole
sa Republica disfranch sement-a fraud
and swindle upon the electors. Chicago

A Clear Case.

Il am sorry to see you here, Mr..
Shadbolt,' said the police magistrate,
"on a charge of being drunk on the
street. / think this is your first Of
Tense, though and L am not disposed
to"
But i was not drunk, your Honor"
protested Shadbolt. Il knew exactly
what / was doing. i can remember
everything that took place from the
time Dinguss asked me to lend him
so till the policeman collared me-"
''You are well acquainted with Mr..
Dinguss, presume?"
Certainly"
''Did You lend him the STOP"
Il did your Honor, but"
The fine, Mr.. Shadbolt, will be 50
and costs" remarked the magistrate,
shaking his head sadly.

Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia.
Delaware. North Carolina, Kentucky,
Missouri, and Tennessee may all. be
classed as doubtful States. 1t is prob lble
that the votes of all Of them will be
counted for the next Democratic nominee,
but 1t is possible that some, indeed most,
of them may cast Republican majorities
too large for suppression. In all Of them
the Democratic vote has been in diminu-
ton since 1880. Maryland had Demo-
cratic majority Of more than 1000 in
1880, of barely IL 900 in 1884, of scarcely
5000 in 1888. Virginia gaze a majority
OF A, 300 for Hancock of 6. l4l for Cleve-
land in his first cam align, and only of
l.54l Mt the last Pre- sidential election.
West Virginia was Democratic by moro
than / 900 in lsS0. by less than 5000 in
1884, and by less than 1000 in 1888.
There is decrease OF 10000 b tween
Missouris Democratic majority of 1880
and that of 1873. Delaware already has
elected Republic in Senator. There are
cracks In the Southern solidity: and the
cracks must widen as the years roll by.

A Section of Law.

prescriptions shall be filed by said druggist OF
pharmacist and kept by him, and no prescription
shall serve for more than one purchase; but M
physician shall make sign any such prescriptio,
unless The person for ,chom shall be made as actual,
sick, or such liquor is aJSoIUiy required as medicine
Any physician who shall, after the first day OF
Jan. in the year 1887, make or sign any prescrip.
ton for such liquor except as aforesaid shall be
guilty Of a miSctemeanor. upon conviction thereof
shall be fined not less than ty dolaySn nor more than
$500 and costs Of prosecution and be committed TO
the county jail until such fine fines and cost Of pros.
ecaioa are paid, nor shall ything in the proceed

used by or for sick person in case of extreme i'll
ness, when delay may be dangerous TO the patient.
nor to prevent the sale by pharmacist or drug
gist of wine to be used for sacramental purposes

Particular attention Of physicians and
druggists is invited to the above section Of
the prohibatory liquor law of Cecil county,
which is falling into neglect, to some ex-
tent, it is claimed, on the part of doctors and
pharmacists. The parts italicised ere OF
special interets to such parties. A pre-
scription for liquor must come from
physician praclicing in this county and not
by Pennsylvania or Delaware physician.
1t is stated that foreign doctors have made

used by law breakers 10 secure whiskey from
druggists of Cecil. Druggists selling whis.
key on such prescriptions are liable to the
above penalties. Doctors are warned by the
law that if they give prescriptions TO or for
any persons but those "actually sick" that
they shall be declared guilty of misde-
meanor, and if convicted fined $50 to
$500. 1t is charged that physicians have
fallen into the practice of giving, or selma
rather, prescriptions to Tom, Dick and
Harry, and druggists with selling 10 the
same persons, bearing no sign of sickness,
several plnts of whiskey to the same perfect.

such circumstance both parties are morally
certain that they are violating the law; the
physician in letter and the druggist at least
in spirit.

The Political Lesson.

Confning our reflections to Cecil
county and the State of Maryland,
We find there is no semblance Of
change IN the party vote of this
county for the last 20 or more years
and from the very nature of the sit
uation while this remains unchanged
there cannot be. There are two very
clear cut causes for this. First Meth,
er party offer the public any tangible
principle to contend for. The dem
ocrats occupy a negative position
and offer sturdy opposition to every
movement that is suggestive of i'm
provement on the old state of affairs
Their political shibboleth is that
nothing is worthy of notice that
grandfather didn't know and prac-
tice, and like the Roman tribunes
they cry Veto! to every advance
The party replies to this charge and
without denying its justice, that the
republicans have offered nothing
since Reconstruction" has been made
a settled policy, then what motive
have we for changing our vote?
There is another cause for keeping
the republican party in the minority
in the county. There is an envy and
jealousy grown up between individ
uals in the republican party that has
become chronic which will continue
to prevent the party from achieving
success.
The State is hitched firmly to tho
southern car of Bourbonism and will
remain so until the regeneration ans
reorganization of parties take place
The republican party on its presen
national lines will never be able tt
achieve success in Cecil or the State
is the unpleasant prospect to mem
bers of that party which every polit
ical sign seems 10 proclaim.

Keep the Boys on the Farm.

The above question has become
trite from much discussion by the
learned and unlearned, the noble and
ignoble, and we have never heard it
answered satisfactorily by any of the
learned savants. There is but one
way to keep the bright, ambitious,
public spirited boys on the farms,
which is to make the farmer as in
fuential in political affairs as the
lawyer. Make ,he farm the avenue
to positions of public trust and hon
or, as broad and sure as the law of
fee and you will not be able to keep
the best and brightest men away
from the farm. 1t can be done.

Prohibition in the Church.

A few months since an assembly
or conference of Methodist ministers
held in Baltimore, voted down a res.
olution declaring against license.
Since that time the power of public
opinion among moral and religious
classes, seems TO have forced these
tagging divines up to the line of de-
narration which must soon separate
the liquor business from all affinity,
fellowship or association with church
people, or other people in good mora
standing.
The same Methodist Episcopal
Ministry had lively debate in that
city on Monday week, and the follow
ing resolution was passed by that
body:
Resolved, That this preachers
meeting denounces all license, higl
and low, cs fragrant social, political
and economic wrong; and we belive
prohibition to be the only effective
policy to be adopted by the state and
nation.
1t is rather a curious incidence
that quite good many preachers
cannot see that the saloon is the
greatest hinderance, by far, they have
to contend against in church work o.
every description.

The Election Over.

The result of the election in this
county should not be-we don't know
that it was-a surprise to any one
who was qualified to take careful
look into political matters. The
Democrat party as between that
party and the Republican party have
a majority in the county of 800 or
400. On the present plane of poll
tics there is little to separate the two
parties as parties, except the name,
fruitful cause of bigotry on all oc-
casions and under all circumstances
There is no we'll defined principle of
government existing between the
parties. BY loose management of
the commissioners office by several
incompetent boards, the tax payers
became angry with the extravagant
management OF officers that it was
charged, were the choice of party
bosses, and a combined effort hurled
them out of power and put in their
place very competent and conscien'
tious business men of the Republican
party. These men proved themselves
to be every way worthy of the trust
confided to them and it was the die
tate of sound business on the part of
tax payers to have acknowledged
their appreciation of such service
Such act on the part of tax payers
would have been a notice served on
politicians and candidates for the
future, that the public interest was of
paramount Importance and must
have the first place in their manage
ment of the office. Where the people
are careless of approval of the acts
of faithful officers it invites to slip.
shod methods and the most careless
and extravagant practices meet with
UhS oalhC ioNOl luAb IuC SOHSClSHtlOuS
and careful do on the part of their
servants. The present board elect
may possess full measure of these |
official virtues, but ii they do the
next nominees will not. Political |
bosses as the professional tax eaters
are called, do not want that kind,
and when they reason from exper !
fence that their party will support
the one type as readily as the other,
they are not slow TO secure the nom.
ination of men they can readily |
manage. The tax payers of the
county were put on trial by the poll !
ticians this fall and the result does
not indicate an Improvement If the
next board should make as good a
record as the present one they ought
to be reelected, but they will not be.
The politicians will want green hands
and more pliable material to manip-
ulate. While beating of gongs and
appeals to party name bigotry are
found to be more potent to sway tax
payers votes than their interest, the
former methods will be chosen. Tax
payers vote money out of their peck.
cts when they turn down faithful
officers without recognition, it mat
tiers not to what party they are allied
The professional politician never
wants that kind.
