Tenants Rights.-A recent decision
of the Baltimore City Court, is that the
salvage money on the logs washed on
the shore of BlackfOrd farm in Chester
river, Queen Anne's county, belonged
to Mr.. Mclean, the tenant, and not to
DeCOursey Thorn, the owner OF the
farm. There were 1854 logs washed
on the shores of the Mclean farm, and
both landlord and tenant claimed the
money. The Williamsport company
placed the amount, S1,221, in the
care Of State Senator John B. Brown
and Archibald Taylor, pending the de-
cisiOn of Judge Dennis.

The Sudlersville correspondent Of
the Centreville Record says: "The
Rev. Mr.. Haynes has been three years
among this people. serving them faith
fully and successfully. Out of 1O8
members, 4S have been added ia his
ministry. When he came probably
there were five or 6 members who
would pray in public. now there is a
score of young men who pray in pub
lie, and take the lead of the devotional
exercises at the EpwOrth League. Mr..
Haynes popularity is not circum-
scribed to his own church, but be is
very popular with the membership of
the other two churches, and and des-
ervedly so as an able and successful
minister.

MEDICINAL.
Wake Up.

If you wake up in the
morning with a bitter or
bad taste in your mouth,
Languor, Dull Headache,
Dependency, Constipa-
ton, take Simmons Liver
Regulator. 1t corrects
the bilious stomach,
sweetens the breath and
cleanses thefurred tongue.
Children as well as adults
sometimes eat something
that does not digest well,
producing Sour Stomach,
Heartburn, Restlessness,
or Sleeplessness-a good
dose of Regulator will
give relief. So perfectly
harmless is this remedy
that it can be taken by
the youngest infant or
the most delicate person
without injury, no matter
what the condition of the
system may be. 1t can
do no harm if it does no
good, but its reputation
for 40 years proves 1t
never fails in doing good.

A Word: to Republicans.

A careful canvass of the county shows
that the republican majority is a round
one hundred. This should insure the
election of every candidate on the repub-
lican ticket by handsome majorities. But
persistent and desperate efforts are be-
ing made by the democratic candidates,
and workers to overcome this majority.
Arguments Of all kinds are being artful-
ly urged to sway republicans from alle-
giance to their ticket Efforts. are
being made to fan the embers of faction
al strife; busy bodies are carrying tales;
the sectional feeling is being worked up
on; the claims of friendship and good
fellowship are being urged, and republi-
cans, when all other arguments fail, are
told that it is an of year, and at this
time party lines are of no consequence.
Lot no republican be deceived by those
false and specious arguments, for il they
should, after tho vote is secured the re-
cipient will only laugh at the gullability
of the accommodating republican.
Ask any Of the men who at this time
are SO zealously urging republicans to
desert their ticket, to vote a republican
ballot, and they would be offended. Why
then should they expect SO much more
than at any time they are willing to re-
turn; and be it remembered it is the ones
who always vote their ticket straight,
who most persistently urge republicans
to scratch theirs. We again repeat, let
no republican be deceived, for it will be
matter Of subsequent regret, and an
injury to the party.
This election is, as a matter Of fact, one
Of vital Importance to the party and TO
the county. For example the election of
commissioner decides for the next two
years whether the county shall be under
republican or democratic domination.
Then it is important that Prowers coun-
ty at this time takes the position she Is
entitled to, the banner republican coun-
ty OF the eastern portion of the State. 1t
can Also and should set a good example
need it badly. A full party vote this fall
will give the county prestige and weight,
not only in this portion Of the State but
in the councils OF the whole party. Next
year the great struggle for national su-
prsmacy comes, and every advantage
however slight will be from this on care
fully noted. 1t is therefore the plain
duty Of every republican, who believes in
the principles Of his party, and desires
to see them succeed, to lend his assis-
tance in closing up the ranks and bring
ing out the full strength Of the party.
While our majority is large, as COM
pared with the total vote, yet the party
and the cause at this time needs every
one of its friends, therefore vote your
ticket straight.

While our State ticket contains only

While our State ticket contains only
one name, that of ]. c. Helm for supreme
judge, yet we desire to impress upon our
readers the fact that it is very important
at the present period Of the history OF
our State to give him hearty and en-
thusiastic support. The theory of irri-
cation in this State is thaS the waters Of
the State belong to the public, and to
Judge Helm more than any other judge
has fallen the lot to so construe the con-
stitution and the laws Of the State 30 as
to protect the interests Of the people. As
q close student, in Judicial ability and
personal integrity he is without peer
in the State. His nine years experience
upon the supreme bench makes his ser
vices invaluable to the State at the pres
ent time. and he will be reelected by an
overwhelming majority.

Last weeks Sparks contained an arti-
Gle commencing the La Juntd Tribune
and other republican bolters Of Otero
county. The Watermelon in copying
this article, charged it to REGISTER, and
said that the REGISTER was deceived by
the braying of chronic mugwump." Oh
no sister Watermelon, the REGISTER was
not deceived, we've heard them bray be-
fore, neither did it publish the article.
It was published by the Lamar Sparks,
the organ of certain democratic states
men Of Prowers county. The Sparks is
very fond OF patting assistant democrats
on the back, and-as it had 30 few in its
own county to pat, it had to 60 to Otero
