Newspaper Dictatorship.
rom The Rockville Adrocate.

From The Rockville Adrocate.
1t is about eighteen months since, as all
who have followed political events in the
state and particularly the moves and counter
moves within the Democratic party will re.
I member, that an effort to establish news.
paper dictatorship for the Democracy was
inaugurated. There was nothing honest out
side of the junto sought to be established in
power. That the cardinal purpose of this
enterprise was the retirement of Senator
German to private life no one will deny with
any degree of sincerity. The scheme was
perfected lrem-day-te day and the lines of
the truly good were being formed to make
the onslaught at the word of command. The
services of Senator German were to count
for nothing, and the people written into for
getfulness of every achievement for the sue
cess of the Democratic party. The leaders
Of the party throughout the country were as
touished at this state of affairs, and knowing
and approaching the merits of Mr.. German
as a leader, placed him in charge of the
party's forces in congress at IA time when
this opposition was at its zenith of its growth
Now this newspaper in Maryland The Sun
around which centered and from which this
intolerant and relentless band of patriots
drew strength and inspiration, seems aston
lshed that Democratic representatives and
senators should feel an interest in Mr.. Cor
mans reelection. This iunto of which we
have been speaking are slow aud unwilling
to recognize the fact that in the Democratic !
paaty, state and national, there is as great !
demand for the continuation of Senator Cor. |
mans public services as there is for the |
return of Grover Cleveland to the head of |
the government. What scant justice and |
praise this same great daily newspaper has
given Senator German in the past few weeks
has been compelled by the profound feeling
Of gratitude to and admiration Of Senator
German entertained by the people of Mary
land and which is today the most pronounced
feature of Maryland political feeling. 1t is
true that the next legislature will have to
deal with important state matters and conse.
luently our best citizens should compose
hat body, but it is also true that the next
legislature will elect successor to Senator
iorman and so far the election is national
n its character. The people of Maryland
want Senator German to succeed himself;
he leaders and statesmen of the national
Democracy desire his return, and so we hold
hat Just so far the November election is
ational in its character and the issue should
e so plainly made that there can be no es.

Mr.. Quay Again.
From the New York World.

If Mr.. Quay had been an innocent man
or even man less guilty than the World haC
charged, he would instantly have demanded
retraction, and would have met any refusa
to retract with libel suit brought to be pros
ecuted to the end. In such suit the truth
would have been brought out by the testimony
of witnesses under OATH and if the World
story were false, the World, which is album.
dainty responsible, and not Mr.. Quay, would
have been the sufferer from it. But Mr..
Quay did nothing of the kind, because the
truth was precisely what he did not want
brought ont by the testimony of witnesses
under oath, Yet for whole year Quay has
kept silent, not venturing to make even an
unsupported denial, though Congressman of
his own IrnrtY atid-Hewspape of his own
political faith openly told him and their read
ers that his silence was confession. At last
he has arisen in his place in the Senate and
offers what purports to be his reply to the
accusations. At best it is bare denial, ua-
supported by anything better than the culprit's
word, though there are three men of his own
party, all prominent in public life, who are
personally cognizant of the most damaging
facts, and who would pretty certainly tell
what they know if Quay should call upon
them to do so. These men are Senator Don
Cameron, ex-Attorney- General Wayne Mac
Veagh and Mr.. Christopher Magee. If Mr..
Quays denial has any show or shadow of
truth in it why has he not called upon these
gentlemen to support it by confrmatory state
ments of their own.

Senator Quay took occasion in the Senate
on Monday last to deny ''serialim and in toto, .
all charges against him of misfeasance or
malfeasance, made openly or covertly, directly
or indirectly. The statement might as well
have been omitted. No ones opinion will be
changed by it. Those who believed them will
still believe them, and those who did not will
not be affected. His denial will count for
nothing. he wanted vindication he had
a remedy by suit against the New York
World or VIM. c. Lea, both responsible. BY
a suit all charges could have been iudicially
inquired into, and Mr.. Quay and his accusers
could have Introduced sworn testimony Mr..
Quay will soon discover denial is not a vim.

ry, &c, will not down at his bidding.

Our respected contemporary. the Sentinel,
must be veritabe Rip Van Wrinkle. Three
days after Mr.. Cleveland's silver letter had
been published, the Sentinel published the
following:
"Mr. Cleveland continues to practice the
virtue 81 of silence on the silver question"
Mr.. cleyeland's position on the silver ques
ton is nothing new, and the editor of the
Sentinel, as an intelligent journalist, ought to
have known that fact Mr.. Cleveland ex
pressed his opinions very foreibly on that
question, after his election to the Presidency.

he said: 'Mr. Cleveland has broken his

RECIPROCITY HUMBUG.
Ex- Secretary Fish on Blaine's Re
ciprocity and the Mckinley Bill.

The venerable Hamilton Fish, ex.Secretary
of State, has been interviewed on reciprocity
He said:

tiate the reciprocity treaty of 1854 with Can
ada, and that was the best in the shape OF
reciprocity that we could do at that time. |
have always thought it mistake that the
treaty should have been abrogated. Had it
gone on Canada would have been very much
nearer annexation than she is But our peo-
pie were under pressure when the treaty was
abrogated. The war and the excitement
made it appear advisable to some, who per
haps afterwards regretted it.

destiny of Canada?''

your time. | do not say that it is within the
sphere of practical politics today. But to
consider that the imaginary line which
stretches along parallel of latitude dividing
two peoples of common language and CON-

two countries, is an idea unworthy of the
western world of trade and commerce in this

child grows and the industries do not forever
remain infants. There comes time when

What is going to happen? Will wonders
never cease? That pink of journalistic per

Grill .Serrice Reforn,er, which sheds so much
lustre upon Baltimore city and the whole
State, has two articles in its February issue
lau1atory of Hon. Arthur p. German. in
which he is spoken of for the Presidency
True, the articles are extracts from other
papers, the Maryland Journal and the En-
coll City Times, but how came they to appear
in the columns of the Reformer, which has
hitherto regarded Mr.. German as the imper.

The ADVOCATE has yielded space to cores
pondents to discuss the merits of aspirants for
the governorship, believing that the people
ought to be informed as to the merits of each
in order to actintelligently in selecting can
didaie. So far the discussion has been good
tempered, and we wish to keepit so. For this
reason we have declined communication
this week, because the writer was too severe
toward several candidates and unnecessarily
criticised public men, while the writer him
self counseled moderation in others. One
candidate cannot be built up at the expense
of another, and harsh criticisms of persons
prominent in the party are not conducive to
harmony.

The Philadelphia Press published picture
to show the gerrymander of congressional

of about 81 600 in the population of the sec

for Republican legislature in Pennsylvania
