THE fact that Chief Swiggett has in
volved Mayor Harrington, the Morning
News and several members Of the City
Council in the sandwich scandal as aoet-
tors, advisors and apologists does not re-
lieve him, though It involves them to a
greater or less degree. The fact remains
that the chief Of police Of a city Of 10000
Inhabitants was making afiidavits to draw
money from the city treasury
on a vulgar and Extensively patent sub
terfuge, which would not be tolerated in
the csshier.of corner grocery, and which
would put bank officer in disgrace.
That Chief Swiggett stood high in the
church and is man Of generally ire
proachable life makes the transaction
more insxplicable. bow 50 good man,
intelligent, experienced and thoroughly
conversant with affairs, could have mad,
such an error as to swear to those fee,
bills, is still unexplained.

The Baltimore american In one OF
its daily editorial high license par
agraphs says:
High license is continuous in its
representative results. Yesterdays
Philadelphia Press said: The appli
cations for retail license to sell LIQUOR
for 1880 will probably not exceed
1920, as against 3,214 for 1889
There were fewer licensed saloons in
Philadelphia in 1889 than there were
in 1888. This year the number will
be still less. High license is the
right sort of reform"
This kind of liquor rot is dealt out
late and early by that paper
The Philadelphia Press for Jan. G
said, editorially:
"All accounts agree th at High Ii,
cense is failure in Pittsburgh
'Speak-easies,' or unlicensed grocer
les have multiplied in every section
of the city, until now it is believed
that the number of places where
liquor is sod is considerably greater
than it was two years ago under low
license. These speak. easies' are
thinly disguised as soft drink
places, cigar shops and restaurants
They get their supplies of liquor in
the dead of night and sell without
hindrance or regulation when they
please and to whom they please"
And the same is true of Philadel-
phia, and of every city under high
license. Baltimore will prove no
exception to rule that has had no
exec ptions.

The Australian Ballot Law.

No measure recently brought be-
fore the public looking to as radica
reform in political matters, has me-
with such universal favor as the
Australian Ballot Law. 1t is the
most bipartisan measure, seeking
changes so radical, that has been in
troduced into our politics. The op
position it meets with is so feeble
that it is scarce worth notice. The
three most conspicuous men in op
position are Governor Hill of New
York, Senator German, of Maryland,
and General Butler. A few of Cor
mans friends try in mild manner
to excuse the covert opposition he
attempted to organize against the
measure at the editorial lunch at tue
Rannert, but such attempts meet
with little favor. Germans flimsy
pretexts deceive no one ofany party
The democrats as well as all Others
understand full we'll the methods
used by the Senator to retain power,
and tney are not backward in declar
ing their convictions publicly. They
are weary of being ridden over by
the corrupt machine which German
has used in Baltimore to override
honest men, and are determined
to smash it by the Australian Ballot.
To be on the side of the Australian
law is popular thing as we'll as
right and we hope our members in
the legislature will be found in the
front of the battle-ii battle there be
to give the State?a good Austria
liansBallot Law. The! bill that has
been prepared by the friends of

sincerely hope that body--will put
it through and that the Cecil mem
bers will be found among the fore
most in urging its passage.

The NeaUs drops into the German
procession on Ballot Reform.
The peach orchards in middle Della
ware are in bloom.
A Tower of Diamonds.

A Tower Eiffel entirely of diamonds!
This sounds like dream. The reality,
however, is not quite so dazzling as
might be expected, and the model, which
is an exact reproduction of the original
monument, gains nothing in grace and
beauty of outline to make up for the loss
of grandeur and size. AS it is, however,
it is a very curious piece of work. The
number of diamonds needed to construct
this model, which measures thirty-nine
inches in height, is 10000, and they are
set in rows on the silver Orders. The
only bits of color about it are the lower
platforms, both in silver gilt in two
shades of gold, the enameled flags at the
four corners, and the ruby and sapphire
set in the lantern, which is lighted by
electricity and revolves by clock work.
Messrs. Martin, Parno & Gle hoped to
obtain admission for their jeweled tower
at the exhibition, but it was completed
too late, so it is shown to the public in
the Rue de Seze galleries instead. The
best time to see it is the evening, when a
clever arrangement of electric burners
lights up the jewels and causes them to
sparkle and shine infinitely more than
in the day time, especially the semi-cir-
cular rows which border the four great
arches and which are brilliants of con-
siderable beauty. The price put upon it
is e120, 000.-London Queen.

Walker Blaine Dead.

Walker Blaine, Examiner of Claims in
the State Department, died at the home oil
his father, Secretary of State James G
Blaine, in Washingto Wednesday night
at $50 o'clock Mr.. BIaine's death was
caused by pneumonia. The entire family.
with the exception of James G. Blaine, Jr.,
were present when the sufferer breathed his
| last.
Young Mr. Blaine was taken i'll last week,
and on Friday last he left his desk in the
State Department ard went home. At that
time it was evident that he was suffering
from an attack Of the grippe. He remained
in the house SATURDAY and Sunday and on
Monday he was present at the reception
given BY his parents. He had so far re-
covered that he mingled with the others
and was apparently himself. That night
he escorted some of the guests to their
homes.
Tuesday morning he complained of Sc
we're pains in his back and sides accom-
panied by violent headache. DR.. Magru-
der was sent for, but before he arrived Mr..
Blaine was delirions. Towards night he
became easier and recognized his relatives.
In the morning he relapsed into his former
state, and when DR.. Magruder called he
said that pneumonia had set in. DR.. Hyatt
was sent for to hold consultation, but he
was too ill to attend In the afternoon it
was decided TO hold consultation at night,
but before the consulting physicians had
arrived Mr.. Blaine had breathed his last.

Smoking Cars.

President Holmes is running smoking
cars on the State street cable line. That
is, he started to run them, but the women
seem to be running them now. At the
hours when the men are supposed to be
going to and from tho business center,
President Holmes tackled extra cars onto
the trains, at certain intervals, and la
beled them smoking cars" The label
was on the outside of the car, and was
plainly written, but the women did not
see it, apparently. When they started
to board the car the conductor would in
form them that it was smoker" but
they would pay no attention to him.
When they took seats inside and saw
men smoking they would call the con-
ductor and complain. His explanation
that it was smoking car seemed to have
no weight with them, and they threat
ened to report him. They glared at the
smokers until the latter were shamed
into throwing away their cigars. Now,
the smoking car" is only a name. The
women have made tt new rule inopera-
tive by their stubbnnness. The only
thing left for the sm> ':ers is to "get to-
gether" and smoke the women out. Ev-
cry man who has attended college knows
what smoking out" means, and if the
smokers unite in this movement they
can achieve their rights in spite of the
cranky females.-Chicago Herald
