Perhaps the readers of THE LEADER
could like to know in what respect Cham,
berlain's Cough Remedy is better than
any other. We will tell you. When tbs
Remedy is taken as directed, as soon as a
cold has been contracted, and before it
has become settled in the system, it will
counteract the effect of the cold and
greatly lessen its severity, if not effec-
tually cure the cold in two days time and
it is the only remedy that will do this. 1t

aids nature in relieving the lungs, OPEN
ing the secretions, l%iquefying the mucus

tenn to a strong and healthy condition.
No other remedy in the market possesses
these remarkable properties. No other

No Law to Reach Archer.

There could scarcely be severer
criticism upon the management of
public affairs in this State than the
acquittal of Stevenson Archer yester-
day. Judge Stewart practically
admitted that there was no law in
the code by which the State Treasur-
er could be punished if he made
away with all the money in the trea-
surv. 1t is undoubtly a correct de-
olson. but it must have been a hu-
initiating one to a Judge who in the
performance of his duties is called
upon day after day to sentence poor
wretches to the penitentiary who
have stolen small amounts, perhaps
to keep themselves from starving.
What a queer notion of Maryland
justice the outside public would form
if they had nothing to guide them
but this decision. There is probably
not another State in the Union where
the treasurer can appropriate to his
own uses as much as he pleases of the
peoples money and snap his fingers
at the law. There is nothing at this
moment except his honor to prevent
the State Treasurer from appro-
priating every negotiable security
under his charge, and yet if starry
ing man were to run his fist through
a pane of glass in bakers shop and
steal a loafof bread he could be sent to
the penitentiary.
The more this Archer business is
studied, the more palpable becomes
the reckless disregard of public inter-
ests by the Democratic party, and the
more convincing the necessity for a
thorough and radical change in the
State politics. The legislature has
failed to pass laws properly guarding
the funds by Furnishing the officer in
whose custody they are placed. The
State officers profess not to know the
laws and the Constitution bearing on
ths treasurer's Office, and do not pre-
tend to execute those which they adj

NIT are known to them. The trea'
surer is allowed to serve for nearly
two years without even bonding or
being sworn in. and it is exceedingly
doubtful if, during the larger portion
of his several terms. Archer was
really the treasurer of the State. For
three years he was making away
with the public funds right under
the noses of those whose duty it was
to make such examinations as would
have rendered his speculatiOns I'M
possible, One hundred and thirty
two thousand dollars of the money
Wrung from the taxpayers has dis
appeared like the "baseless fabric OF
VISION" and now the discovery is
made that there is no law by which
he can be brought to justice FIR even
if he can be convicted of malfe ,sance
in office, the penalty for such an
offense is absurdly inadequate to the
injury done the community.
Sarely, in any other State in the
Unisn, such a condition of affair;
would work a revolution in public
opinion, and change in politica
management. Will it do so in Mary
land. american. 18th.

The Late Legislature.

Hon. John 8. Writ (Democratl. in
his closing article reviewing the work
done by the General Assembly of this
State, says:
We need, more than anything else
in Maryland, a change from the ma
chine methods which have prevailed
In our State for some years. The men
who haye assumed to lead the Dem.
cratic party, for example, have been
chiefly occupied in cOntriving to keep
themselves in public Office and in
parceling out the spoils to their re-
tainers. They have succeeded, too.
for some of them have managed to
keep themselves in Office from the
time whereof the memory of this
generation. at least, knOweth not
the contrary. AS result we have
no policies to submit to the people,
Legislatures assemble session after
session without any information
gathered from the discussions of the
campaign as to what the public in
terests require. Naturally, when men
have everything their own way they
finally come to regard the offices as
their personal property. and are hos
tile to every measure which seems to
interfere with their continuance in
office, The well-knoWn hostility of
certain of these Office holders
to ballot reform is the result of
supine submission by the people of
the State to the machine and its
methods. A change is needed. By
this it is not meant that the Repub-
lican party should succeed the Demo-
cratic party in the control of the
State, for the only vitality the Re-
publican party of this State displays
is in squabbles oyer the offices. Both
in the Nation and State it is emphat
ically under the domination of the
machine methods, But the remedy
is with the masses of the Democratic
party IN this State to overthrow the
machine and bring new men to the
s.~.s" ~ 49, 49, a. -s'-as>ath4, with the
best elements of the national Democ-
racy, who believe in tariff reform,
ballot reform and civil service re-.
form. One of the first steps to secure
this is: First. for the people to insist
npon their right to select their own
candidates for the Legislature, and
not allow them to be foisted upon
them by men who may wish to use
them for personal ends after they are
elected. Second. to be careful to Sc.
lect and vote for candidates who can
be relied upon under all circumstan-
ces not to vote merely to please the
bosses and swell the "grandmothers'
fund.-"
No amount of respectfully is suf-
ficient to qualify any man for public
Office at this juncture who is in favor
of the continuance of the political
methods and influences of the men
who are responsible for the present
condition of the party in Maryland.
New men and new methods are both
needed in the management of the
Democratic party in Maryland.
