DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.

The Supreme Court of the United States
has just handed down an important decis-
ion, timely in more ways than one, because
it distinctly defines the line which separ.
ates Federal from State supremacy. 1t is
sound Democratic doctrine, and foreign
critics of the American federation, as well
as domestic towards, who are unconscious
" centralizers, will both be profited by
reading it.
A writ of error carried Texas murder
case in the United States Supreme Court
1t was claimed that the penal code and code
of criminal procedure in the State of Texas
was not properly enacted under the consti-
tuition of Texas; that error was introduced
in the trial by defects In the indictment, by
the admission of improper evidence and by
alleged disqualification of a juror. Chief
Justice Fuller, who delivers the findings Of
the Federal Court, asserts as the fundamen-
tai law by which all such appeals must be
determined that the Courts of Texas alone
can determine whether State statutes are in
accord with the State constitution, that to
give the United States Supreme Court juris-
diction to review State Court because of
the denial by the State Court OF any right,
title, privilege or immunity claimed under
the constitution or any treaty or statute of
the United States, it must appear on the rec
ord that such title, right, privilege or i'm.
munty was specially set up and claimed at
the proper time and in the proper way !;
that the decision of the State Courts as to
what are the State laws is binding upon the
Federal Courts, and that the Federal Court
cannot inquire into the validity Of the Tex
as code.
This decision, although directed at Civ.
en- cause, j. general in effect and unchange
able in principle. The constitution of the
United States distinctly asserts the suprem.
acy of the State in all of its own affairs, in
all affairs not involving the United States,
and defines the jurisdiction OF the United
States when its authority is involved. 1t
cannot be too often asserted for the benefit
of foreigners and centralizers that this is a
federation of sovereign States.

A New Democratic Club.
Baltimore Sun Of Monday last.

Baltimore Sun Of Monday last
During the past winter steps have been
taken which, it is understood, are likely in
the near future TO result in the organization
OF new Democratic club or association
having its headquarters in this city, but with
q membership drawn from all parts of the
State. Shortly after the November elections
a conference was held in this city, attended
by several gentlemen of political pfomi
nence In the counties as well as the city, to
consider whether the popular movement
throughout the country in favor of tariff
reform did not present a favorable oppor-
tunity for inaugurating in this State a con-
certed movement, within the lines of the
Democratic party, in favor of certain other
Legislative and administrative reforms in the
general direction of the principles advocat.
Cd by Mr.. Cleveland. The fact that the next
election in this State would be purely State
election, the partial success achieved at the
last session of the Legislature in the passage
of the new ballot and registration laws, and
the tendency OF six important constitution.
al amendments to be voted upon by the
people of this State next November, it was
considered all combined to make the occa.
sion opportune for such a movement and
furnishing the strongest possible argument
in favor Of making the experiment. Several
other conferences followed in January and
February, and it being deemed essential to
success that the meve should have the unit.
ed and concurrent support of Democrats in
the counties particularly, a committee on
correspondence was appointed, whose duty
il was to ascertain the sentiments of repre-
sentative Democrats in various parts of the
State. With this view circular letter was
issued, and limited number of copies dis
iributed, the general purport of which may
he sufficiently gathered from the following
extracts:
at is proposed" the circular began, ITO
organize an association for the purpose a
forming a union Of Democrats in Maryland
who are sincerely attached to the principles
OF the party, and desire to advance its best
interests by promoting certain necessary re.
forms in the legislation OF the State and ma
ton. In national affairs the principles Of
administrative and tax reform advocated by
Mr. Cleveland would naturally be the guild
ing principles of such an organization. In
matters OF State politics the association
would have for its immediate objects
..First-The securing of an honest, eff
cient and economical administration OF the
State government.
aSecond-The securing of q just assess
meut of property, the prompt and econOmi-
cal collection Of taxes. and the development
aud protection of the natural resources OF
the State.
-Third-The perfection of the Australian
ballot law aud its extension 10 the entire

AS the result of the correspondence thus
inaugurated and the receipt of sufficient
number OF favorable responses from proml
nent men in the city and counties, it is un-
derstood that the club will shortly be organ
lied by the election of officers, &c. The
president Will be taken from one OF the
counties, and of the six vice presidents one
from each congressional district-four will
be well-known county Democrats. The
active work of the club, it is expected, will
be carried on through its committees and
by agitation and publication through the
press, and discussion before the people at
pubic meetings. The important State issues
involved in the next election will be dis
cussed, not necessarily TO the entire exclu-
sion OF national topics, but as deserving the
first place at this time, because of their more
immediate present and practical Importance

SPRING SONGS or WAR.

Every spring, concurrently with the re.
ports of crop damage and the stories of full

the sound of the sharpening of the plow-

the continent of Europe which boils into
"war- scare" SINNERS, grows cold and van

repeats the story.

Many Odd Things for Ornament and Use.
The fruit season has brought out in
Vulnerable designs in small silver sugars
and creams
Bars and buttons, double buttons and
sleeve buttons.
Lorgnons affixed to wallsing-sticks
have been the mode among women of
fashion in England.
Back combs are seen with the slen-
dcrest tracery for ornament, part of
which is in black enamel.
Combs, gold-mounted for the back
hair, copy antique styles and are
sprinlhled with diamonds and olivines.
Antique vases, fagon forms of cut
glass with silver gilt vases, lips and
handles are desira BILE as wedding pres
ents.
An imperfect pearl has the form of a
birds body with outspread wings, with
feet added and a diamond head; it is
now "A stick pin.
Sleeve buttons, one half gold and the
other repousse silver, separated diago-
nally by line of diamonds, are among
the later varieties.
Silver coffee pots for after-dinner
coffee appear to be feature. They as,
sumo vase forms, slender and widening
toward the base with long handles of
ivory and different woods.
Fall slender faring vases of pale
green glass sprinkled with tiny sprays
of gilt flowers are among the things
new and lovely.
Rings for men, with seals like checker
boards, are observed The squares are
simulated by alternate diamonds and
sapphires embedded in the gold.
Instead of cut-glass and silver
mounted ice-pails for the table, we have
egg-shaped cut-glass bowls held in tri
pods of repousse silver and without
handles.
An instance of the ingenious use oi
accidental forms is seen in a slender
shell, beautifully irridescent, whicl
looks like the body of a fish The shape i
