FRIDAY, AUGUST I, 1890.
AFTER the primary election is over
let it be over
>>~>>~~~~~~~~~~~ -~~~-~~-~~
THE G. O. p. is acting as though II
never expected to get another chance
at the Treasury.
SENATOR GoRMAN of Maryland is
coming out strongly for tariff re-
form. Better late than never.
THERE'S one good thing about a
primary election-the candidates have
no room to kick when it's over.
THE President has discharged his
colored carriage driver, and an En-
glish importation handles the reins
now.
CONGRESS hasn't passed the orig
inal package bill yet. Too busy
with disreputable schemes of various
sorts.
GOOD Democrats will settle all
their differences on Saturday. After
that they will have all they can do to
fight the Republicans.
THE recently-elected chairman OF
the Republican State Committee de-
clines to serve He doesn't care to
lead the forlorn hope of the next cam
paign.
HAVING completely wiped out the
surplus, Congress now proposes to
knock out the Democratic party. The
latter is bigger job than the former,
though.
THE Senate has practically an
nounced its intention of staying in
session until the Force bill is passed.
The Democrats ought to fight 'em all
summer.
~----~~~~~~>~~>>~-,>>~-~-~
SOMEONE wants to know what will
be done when the anticipated de-
ficiency in the Treasury is fact.
Why, heavier taxes will be levied on
the people-that's all.
>~>~-~~~~-~~~~~-~~~~~-~~-
Oh, yes This was to be the
greatest Congress for business the
country ever had. And here it has
been in session nearly a year, and it
hasn't even passed the appropriation
bills yet.
It's mighty tough that the people
of this country are taxed hundred
million dollars year to pay pensions
quarter of a century after the war
is over. And next year the tax will
be hundred and fifty millions
-
IT is said that over a hundred men
who voted for Congressman McComas
two years ago in Montgomery county
have signed a pledge not to vote for
him again His action on the Force
bill has been more than they could
stand. Let the good work go on.

Hon. J. III. GETTINGER announces
that he will not make contest for re-
nomination as State Senator from this
district. DR.. r. G.. Burkhart, of Berke-
ley county, is announced as a candi
date, however, and will run against
Mr.. Alex. Parks, who was announced
In the REGISTER some weeks ago.
AT the recent conference of Repub
lican leaders of this State at Noun
tain Lake Park one Of the colored
brethren was present. At the politi-
cal love feast he was allowed to par
ticipate, but when it came to eating
dinner he was made to feed by him
self. How the Republicans do love
the colored man
EVERY Democrat should 60 to the
primaries on Saturday and vote for
the men he wants. He should do all
he honorably can to elect them.
But when the primaries are over,
whatever may be the result, let every
Democrat throw up his hat for the
nominees and give them his hearty
and unreserved support.

Mr.. MCCOMAS, Congressman, it is
announced, is making very favorable
progress with the war-claims bill in
the House. He is settling down to his
more congenial business again, it
seems, for the getting of pensions and
war-claims is his strong point. He
makes pretty bad mess of it when
he engages in such schemes as the
Force bill.
HERES what Bob Ingersoll has got
to say about a certain spoilt, over,
grown, hHlking Republican infant
Il believe in protecting what are
called the infant industries, but after
these Infants" get to be six feet high
and wear No. IL boots it is about time
to stop rocking the cradle, especially
when the infant tells you that if
you stop rocking he will get out of
the cradle and kick Your head Off
