The Democrats of Maryland will present
to Senator German this week a magnificent
service Of silver In recognition of "the skip
displayed by him in comprising the defeat of
the force bill" The gratitude of the Demo-
Gratis Of Maryland for the defeat of the
elections bill may we'll be great, since it
would have been an awkward law for the
dlsreputable Democratic firing that stuffs
ballot boxes and intimidates voters in Balti-
more. And perhaps Senator German might
as well receive the silver service as any other
man. He acted discreetly in the fight in the
senate, looked wise and crafty, aud waited
for the inevitable victory to give him great
reputation. AS matter of fact there was
never any very determined fighting in the
senate over the elections bill. There was
great show, and 1t seemed at the time as
though 1t was doubtful contest. But In the
light OF after events II is seen that the cleo
tions bill was deliberately bargained away
by the Republican traitors, some of whom
are known by their votes against the bill,
and some OF whom are not generally known.
Those men, to whom the victory ascribed to
German Is due, are not in position, to come
forward and claim the silver plate 1t goes
to MIR, German because he is pleasantly stu
ated 1t was Mr.. Germans good fortune to
command against an army paralyzed by
treachery. Pro badly many another captain
has been equally fortunate.

"Castoria Is the best remedy for children Of
which am acquainted. Ihope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in
stead of the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their Threats, thereby sending
them to premature graves"

1t will devolve upon the next Congress to
seriously consider whether some legislation
is not called for to place 1t in the power of
the national government to initiate prosecu-
tions in cases affecting foreign residents in
this country. The New Orleans case has
called public attention to what is apparently
defect in our laws. No very great hard
ship resulted In this case simply because the
Sicilians who were put to death by the mob
were worthless scamps, who were here in de-
fance OF our laws, and who probably mer-
tied the fate they met with. But it must he
borne in mind that the national government
would have had not one whit more power
to undertake the prosecution of the leaders
OF the mob had their victims been the
most peaceable and innocent of men. Had
the uprising against the Sicilians been sim
ply because they were Sicilians the national
government would have been as powerless
as 1t was in the case that actually existed.
Ii our government is to continue to make
treaties with foreign nations it must have
moro power to protect citizens of those
nations. Foreign governments win not long
continue to guarantee protection to our citi
zens unless in return we can guarantee the
same degree of protection to their citizens
which they accord to ours. This. under our
present laws, our government cannot do.

The first session Of the trienual meeting Of
the Woman's National Council began at 40
this morning at Abaugh's Opera House. where
all the sessions are to be held. There was
large audience and not a few of the faces that
looked toward the women on the stage belonged
to the so-called stronger sex. though they did
not dare to claim their superiority in the sacred
precincts of the opera house, where woman.
for the time being, reigns supreme. All around
the auditorium were signs of woman's handi-
work. and everything had a gala appearance.
In the first place the stage was prettily dec
GRATED with an array of palms and other grace
full potted plants running around behind the
row OF footlights.
A CHANCE OF SCENE.
On the platform where last week the Senator
ran things at his own sweet will today the scene
was set as drawing room and numerous chairs
and lounges were scattered invtingly around
while in front was q reading desk the only
thing that had a business air about il. The
boxes were draped with the stars and stripes
from the ceiling to the floor and the galleries
were hung with the national flag and also with
the coats-of-Rrms of the various states. In the
foyer the various Journals of the land devoted
to the interests and enlightenment of the
female sex had set up branch offices
and did thriving business in the SUBJ
scription line. Down in front, where the
orchestra is won't to discourse sweet strains in
other weeks when the audience is waiting for
the curtain to go up, there were a number
of small tables placed today and the press was
literally represented. For this occasion, how
ever, the stereotyped phrase gentlemen Of the
press" was out Of place, for it must be ad-
mitted that the majority Of the busy pencil
pushers were women and at several of the
tables the male reporters were in clover.
