An Instance of Englishmen's Distrust for
American Methods.


American Methods.
The distrust of things American which
obtained in England until not SO very
long ago was well illustrated in a recent
speech of T.. II. johnson, says a Lon
don letter. lie was describing M eXhi-
bition Of the Edison electric light, which
was about to take place Mt the Crystal
Palace, London, and for which he had
made great preparations.
"A large party OF prominent people
were invited and had begun TO arrive. l
was going to turn on l,2OO lamps and
nstonish the Brltishers
Finally everything was ready. and
the switch was turned, but no light l
hurried down 10 the engine-roOm TO see
what the trouble was and found that o
plug had blown out Of the boiler, which,
of course, stopped everything.
"They don't do things in as great n
hurry over there as we do at home, and
the English engineer said repairs could
not be made before next morning.
"But insisted on repairs at once, and
the result was that in a short time my
efforts were successful and the lights
gave forth their brilliancy"
But" concluded Mr.. johnson,
"there wasn't man in all England
that didn't believe that it was Yankee
trick"

Famous Southern Policies.


1t will be remembered that the present
Administration began with southern
policy" which was TO attract southern
Democrats with protectionist leanings
into the Republican party by giving
them offices. Congress, too, had its
" southern policy which was to putthe
registration, counting, and certifcation
OF votes in the South into the hands Of
Republican partisans 10y means OF Il
force bill. How rave the two policies
PANIED out ? In the present Congress
before any Democrats were unseated
there were twenty-three Republican con-
gressmen from the South, or, including
Missouri, twenty.seyen. In the next
Congress there will be but five, and pos
sibly not over four. Somebody has
blundored.

He WENT From RICHMOND
That Accounts for Mr.. BANDS Election in
Baltimore.


The following from the Baltimore
EUcning NelDs refers to a gentleman
who was formerly well known in the
mercantile business here
The Democratic victory in the Twentieth
Ward was q special feature of the local cleo
ton. Mr.. John h. Bland is the only Demo-
cratic Council candidate who has carried
the ward in the past six years. The victory
is especially noticeable from the fact that
every precinct was carried BY the Demo-
Gratis against Mr.. Henry +. New, one Of the
strongest candidates the Republicans have
ever run III the ward. The change in
the territory of the ward in 1889 cut out
725 voters. and the falling off in the regis
tration was nearly 1000, yet the Democratic
vote for Mr. John b. Bland was only l22
less than the Democratic vote last year.
The Democratic candidate this year re-
ceiyed about per cent. more Of the whole
registered vote than WAS given to the Demo
cratic candidate last year.
The Democrats of the Twentieth Ward
last night celebrated their success in the
Council elections by serenading Mr. John
Il. Bland. the candidate who led them to
victory in the fight. About 200 citizens,
headed by Morse's Brass Band, took part
in the serenade, and among them were
many OF the leading men of the ward.
Mr.. Bland carried every precinct In
his ward and received 32l majority. A
member Of the Baltimore Council re-
ceives 81. 900 per annum and has con-
siderable patronage.
