A number of applications have been
received by United States Treasurer
Nebeker for a consignment Of the subsi
diary silver coin, which the department
has offered to send to any one free of
cost for transportation by express in
sums of $500 or more, or by registered
mail packages of $40, in exchange for
other money. Most Of the applications
have come from banks, and they have
asked generally for amounts ranging
from $500 to 81 900. The requests
are being complied with as rapidly as
possible. The circular Offering to ex-
change the coin for other money was is
sued last week, ssand judging from the
interest already manifested the depart
ment officials are encouraged to believe
that a large quantity of the fractional
coin will be placed in circulation Re
quests for this coin are also received and
the coin supplied by the sub-treasuries
There ha, been a great demand at the
department for tel cent pieces, induced
it is presumed, by the extensive use of a
new metallic safe case which has been
sold extensively throughout the country
AMI which can be opened only when
filed with fifty of the ten cent pieces.

Prepare for the Fight.

As we observe on every side the close
caucusing, Nc whispered planning and
many other evidences Of the earnestness
of our Democratic aeighbors, we are led
TO believe that great preparations are be
ing made Tor. the coming contest, that
they are making every edge cut and try
ing to put in every available opportuni-
" to advantage. With this DOMINIC Of
war paint going on before our eyes we
feel constrained to remind our Republi
can friends that the task Of winning in
the next campaign is no easy one. that
the enemy will ":rot out" their best
horses, we'll groomcd and equipped for
the race, that now is she time to be
making ready" for the fight. 1t is
well that all party descriptions should be
laid aside, should be Auried, obliterated
by the greater consideration Of general
party good We have in our ranks
men who are eminently qualified to fill
the several positions, whose competency
and whose devotion to party and to
country is unquestioncd We should be
careful TO select such candidates as will
be acceptable to the whole party and
who will Gil with credit the positions
which they seek We urge that all the
Republicans Of the county unite and Sc
lect ticket bearing in mind the fact
that the coming election is one Of very
great importance and upon the success
or failure of the same depends not a lit
tie. We should not think that because
we are living in a county where the
Republican majority may be considered
generally safe, We need not to work, for
we really need every vote that can be
gotten Charles county should not re
peat her enactment of 1885 when she
broke her Republican record by electing
full corps of Democratic officers. We
have it in our power to win and every
Republican should put his shoulder to
the wheel and push as hard as though
upon his individual efforts depended the
entire success of the party With a
union of action and carsful vigilant
work there is no doubt but that in the
next election we will roll up goo
majority. Therefore be on the "qui

New Orleans Report.

After a session Of six weeks the erar d
jury Of New Orleans brought in repor.
to the Judge Of the Criminal Court. re-
port remarkable for its yerbosity and its
purport 1t seems to suggest that the
city of New Orleans is incapable Of exc
cutting it's own laws it also seems to offer
sort of apology for the murderous
work of the meb, 1t fiu], indictments
against the six men charged with hav-
ing fixed the jury, but failed to desig
nate in any manner the jurors who were
liked and above all ices Ae4 designate
the mob that committed the act Of muir
dering the eleven Italians We can
hardly call it legal report, it does not
seek to disclose the criminals, but rather
acts as an evasion of duty attempting to
make an apology and defense. There
is universal deiestation of the Malta
and its villaiuous work. The popula-
ton of New Orleans contains more than
eleven hundred whose records in their
native land are criminal and such as
forced them 10 leave-who are fugitives
from justice or could not bear the pres
sure of public Indignation occasioned by
certain acts Ct their own. These crimi-
nal records have been resumed in this
country with the result that has recently
been demonstrated. The jury 6xers
had nearly accomplished their escape
from punishment when public indigna-
ton rose up bidding defiance to the pr
binary judicial proc, sscs by enacting the
drama of March 14th. The r.port of
the grand jury pariuns and jastifcs tiras
massacre. In that city where flourish
the lottery, the gambling hell and a
multitude of every other species of cor
ruption, the Malta found a congeniality
that was nowhere else so complete,
there it was Instituted and there did i
grow, in an atmosphere peculiarly favor
able to execute las nefarious plans The
authorities of New Orleans are n great
measure responsible for this affair They
we're culpabiy negligent in enforcing a
law putting down corruption until in self
defense they were compelled to come
forth as a mob and trample under foot
their own laws and avenge the result of
their own negligence. The case of
New Orleans shouH act as a warning To
all our large cities it should teach them
to be more careful to keep out of their
political and municipal institutions cor
ruption and double dealing.

The facilities for reaching it are being
developed with view to the great strain
to which the summer traffic will subject
them. The Pennsylvania Railroad

which will yield the greatest speed and

That The announcement that the
Michigan Central Railroad has begun TO
dig a tunnel 5000 feet long under the
Detroit river has not caused the least
surprise, shows that in these days we ar,
becoming so accustomed to great engi-
neoring feats, that even the greatest of
them get but a passing notice The
new tunnel which will cost about two
and half million of dollars, will be fin
ishcd within two years, and will be the
only tunnel with double track that has
been built under water on this continent
Connecting Detroit with the Canada
shore, it will save the Michigan Central
