BALTIMORE, Nov. 5.--The city of Balti-
more has to-day cast its vote in favor Of
the Democratic party. Davidson, d.,
was elected mayor by about 4, 1000 ma
iority, and the Democrats will have con-
troll OF both branches OF the city council.
The first aud second legislative districts
elected the regular Democratic ticket.
The third is very close and in doubt. In
Baltimore county the indications are that
the Democratic majority will reach 1900,
and the election OF oil the regular Demo-
cratic nominees ia assured.
The majority for Baughman, Dem., for
controller, in the state will reach IL 900.
Shortly before the closing of the polls
in Baltimore fight took place between
John Apple, Fusionist ticket holder,
aud William Drlscoll, Democrat. Apple
was knocked down and kicked in the
head aud was dead when picked up.
Driscoll was arrested.
An election riot occurred at Woods
boro, Md, yesterday afternoon. A con-
stable was shot, the judges were driven
from the room and the ballot.box was
taken. The factions we're arrayed on OPP
posite sides of the road and fired at each
other. The sheriff and posse left Fred
erick for the scene Of the trouble.
THE EASTERN SHORE COUNTIES.
In Osoil county the Democrats gained
very decisive victory. Returns ro.
ceiyed from five of the nine districts in
the county indicate that the entire Demo.
cratic ticket has beer elected by good
majority. John s. Wirt's friends claim
that his majority over Bond, r., for state
senate, will reach 800. and are very
jubilant, 40 his defeat had been conf
IDENTIFY claimed by the Republicans. The
Democratic majority on the state ticket
will be 400. Two years ago Baughman's
majority but little exceeded 800. William
H. Simcoe, Holster Hess aud Thomas
Pearee are elected TO tho legislature.
The Republican board OF county COM
missioners elected two years ago, after
20 years OF Democratic county rule have
been defeated FOR reelection. The count
in the Elkton district has not yet been
completed. One thousand aud forty two
votes were polled, rs against 1, 100 two
years ago. The Democratic majority
will be Increased, and Wirt's majority in
the Elkton district will be 275.
The Democrats carried Talbot by $50
majority, electing their whole ticket.
Also Caroline, by 200 majority. The
Democratic majority in Queen Anne'f
county ia over 800, carrying the entire
ticket. WorceBters Democratic majority
will reach 800. In Wiooinioo county the
Democrats elect everything by nearly
900 majority. In Dorchester, after 9
stubborn fight, the Democrats elect iheil
ticket by an average majority of $50
The Republicans claim to have elected
their entire ticket in Somerset, but Demo
Gratis claim the election OF Waters ant
Green, Democrats, to the legislature by
small msjority. The vote between
Beauchsmp and Long for sheriff is close
The balance of the Republican ticket il
elected beyond doubt. The Democrat
also claim a majority in Kent county.

By Presidential proclamation on satur-

By Presidential proclamation on Satur-
Eay afternoon North and South Dakota
Secame full fedged states, and the same
eate will soon be opened to Washington
aud Montana. There are two or three
sAhsr territories craving admission,
EJaong them Iiaho, which has already
prepared state constitution In readiness
sag the occasion. But the st. Paul, Mimi,
%l0be predicts that Idaho's application
will hardly be acted on until peculiar
nass pending before the United States
Supreme Court has been disposed of. The
Ss,ss involves the constitutionality of
Fsst oath and Acknowledgement for Nor
Sons. These Latter Day Saints make up
tspout one-fourth Of the population of
Idaho and pay one.ffth of the territorial
aaxes. Yet for two years past they have
keen denied the ballot, and the conven-
IsOp which framed the new constitution
centinued this disqualification by putting
INTO that instrument the most rsdi-
cal anti-Mormon section that could be
devised. The defendant in the pending
sSase is q man named Davis, who retired
Som the Mormon church, last fall, took
me required lron-clad test oath and
voted. Having done this he relapsed
into Mormonisn and reunited himself
With that church. This subjected him to
the charge of violating the oath, and he
was arrested, tried and dnsd $500 in the
United States district court He refus- d
to pay the fine and was sent to jail. What
property he had, being taken and sold,
was insufficient to pay the ane. A writ
Of hAbsss corpus was denied. Mr.. Davis
is still in jul, and the issue presented to
the United States supreme court viii de-
terIniue whether tile Acknowledgement Of
an Gdherents 10 IKE Mormon churc3,
whether personally polygamiRts or NOT
III constitutional. These men are being
politically ostracissa in Idsho evidently
for the same reasons which led, in thsis
early history and before the establish
ment of polygamy among them, TO their
being perseeated, moobed, assassi-
mated and hunted ont Of indie
pendenoe and Nsuvoo; and the
chief OF these reasons is that they set
church above state, and, surrendering
political individuality, vote in block for
the men and the Measures approved by
their spiritual leaders. II is of some
interest to note that Idaho is Repub,i-
can territory. Doubtless the very same
men who are endeaycring to frame laws
to disfranchise Mormons, would regard
rs utterly unjustiisble and diabolical a
similar effort on .he part of South Caro-
Inns to disfranchise her black voters
because they cast their ballots solidly-at
least it is the Republican assumption that
the negro vote Of the south is solid for
that parly-socofding to the dictation OF
selfish political leaders. But will any
one deny that solid black vote IS a fe;
greater menace to the perpetGity of our
system of government than solid MOI,

The Trustees of the Universally oil

PHILADELPHIA, Nov, 5.--!The trustees
Of the University OF penhsylyania vas
terday accepted the offer Of Dol. Joseph
M. Bennett to give two adjoining proper
ties on the south. east corner OF Thirty
fourth and Walnut streets for a college
for women in connection with the Uni
versity, said college to be under the di-
rection OF board of managers to be ap-
pointed by the trustees. Colonel Bennett
said he made the gift because he was de-
sirous of promoting the higher education
of woman, yet he recognized the diffl-
culties connected with complete oo-edu-
cation. The trustees decided to establish
museum of archaeology and Paleontoi-
ogy, chose faculty for the auxiliary de.
partment of medicine, and elected Mrs.
Charles O. Harrison, Mrs. q. O. Heber-
ton and Mrs. Abraham Barker to the
board of managers of the University
Hospital.

We don't relish jumping on q man
when he is down, even though he be that
disreputable renegade Malone who, in
addition TO being showed under by q
Democratic majority of $4,000 or 10000,
is reported to have been arrested on o
charge of homicide. But we do feel
that thousands Of Republicans will join
in applauding the crushing rebuke that
Virginia has administered to President
Harrison for his shameless prostitution
Of the patronage of the national admin
istration to serve the ends Of this un-
scrupulous adventurer. The spectacle
of post offices handed over to Malone
and his agents to peddle ont as brides
was one that ought to bring the blush of
shame to every American cheek. The
Old Dominion has again proclaimed to
her sister states that her sons are not for
sale. "Sic semper" with Mahoneism and
with the prostitution of governmental
power to dishonorable uses.

This first conviction under the Kansas
proAi5!tory law for the sale OF hard cider
was secured in Topeka on Tuesday, " says
a press telegram. We always thought
these Topekans would get into trouble
When hey began fooling with hard cider.
60 long rs they stuck to whisky, that
familiar old beverage in which the early
settlers used to pledge the health of the
pawn5a Indians, i'll those by.gone days
when the noble rcd men were accustomed
to crop in occasionally to beg a slice of
dead mule or come other luxury that
struck the aboriginal stomach in tender
spot; so long as the pale faces OF the
prairie remained faithful to the stimulGnt
OF their fathers, all went az well as could
be expected. Bat the seductive juice Of
the apple tempted them to mix drinks,
and then the iron hand OF the pronibi.

and taeir last state was worse than their
fret. Hard older ia mooker, especially

Amid the rush Of nineteenth century
manufacture, when raw hides are some
times transformed within "a hours into
an article called leather, one occasionally
encounters with sense of restfulness
the relation OF some aged Englishman,
how that, in the days of his grandfather,
the best quality of leather was left TO soak
for seven years in the tan pits before it
was regarded ready for use. Ia last
weeks Niue Welt, in an article on the
durability of ancient masonry, we are
told that, some hundreds OF years ago,
building mortar vas prepared in the like
leisurely way and that, under an old
Polish Law, the use OF mortar less than
seven years old was made capital crime.
OF course this made it necessary for every
master builder to keep at least q seven
years supply Of mortar constantly Oh
hand. Later the death penalty was
abated to Imprisonment. this lessened
punishment afterwards became fine and
eventually the money penalty disap-
psared. The theory was that the longer
the mortar was left to ripen the better it
became, and the buildings that have come
down from those days are pointed out as
substantiating the soundness Of the
theory.
