The Boring Sea Controversy.

The Boring Sea controversy has been

non non !. /! ~ give it effect. The matter came
out on Tuesday in the hearing Of the appeal
in the United States Supreme Court from
the United States district court in Alaska
in the case of the Canadian sealer, w. r.
Sayward, seized for illegal sealing in Boring
sea and condemned. Secretary Blaine
shed oceans of ink to convince Lord Sal
isbury that Boring sea was a closed sea,
and that the jurisdiction Of the United
States was not confined to three miles.
The Sayward was taken outside the three
mile limit, and during the correspondence
between Blaine and Salisbury the case was
taken to the Supreme Court, the point at
issue being the limit of the jurisdiction of
the United States. The points Of the set
Element cannot be known until after it has
been laid before the Senate in secret ses-
sion. and it will be awaited with interest.
The contention made by Blaine was once
made by Russia, when she owned Alaska,
and it was denied both by this country and
England

The B. & O. Dividend.

The renewed prosperity of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad under its present energetic
and conservative management has been APP
parent for some time. Emphatic evidence
came yesterday in the announcement that the
directors had decided to issue a stock divl-
dend of 20 per cent. in place of the dividends
passed during 1889, 1890 and 1S9l.-Bdttf-
more Ne,cs Of the Leth.
We have seen several similar expressions
in the Baltimore papers, but we fail to OBJ
serve the prosperity of an enterprise that
has paid no dividends for three years,
and makes pretence of declaring 20
per cent. one now, which is to be paid by
issuing new stock If the company can
not pay dividend on the stock now out
standing, how can it hope to pay on a
larger amount in the near future? To
us this twenty per cent. dividend looks
like "a pretence and a sham.

Card from DR.. Summers.

WARFIELDsBURG, Mp, Nov. 10. 1891.
The charge made on the day of the recent
election that | had entered into a bargain
with certain Republicans for the purpose of
securing my own election at the expense of
one or more of the nominees on the ticket
with me, is utterly without foundation. There
was not or that day or at any other time any
foundation for such charge, and ! am pre-
pared to disprove that | ever advised any
man to cut his ticket in the interest of Re
publican candidate. From the commence
ment to the close of the campaign | did my
duty loyalty to my party and its candidates,
and had l been accorded the same loyalty
would have shared with it and them the
fruits of victory, instead of being Inundated
by defeat. ! have no complaint, however,
to make. If those Democrats who cut my
name from the duly nominated ticket of the
Democratic party can harmonic their actswith
their conviction of party fealty, it is not for
me to criticise. If the political wheel should
turn them on top in some future campaign,
| shall not cut their names off, but support
them loyalty. JAMES P. SUMMERS.

Commended to the SUN.

The ADVOCATE has carefully perused
the story from Harper's Yo'nlg People,
commended to us by the Baltimore San,
and the inference to be drawn is that the AD-
vocATE has rubbed off the glittering exte-
rior of the Sun and shown its true inward
ness. The ADVOCATE feels qualified to
take care of the SIN in this section of Mary
land, and we would direct its attention to
the following criticisms of its course in
other sections:
From. the Rockville Adrocate.
Asa political dictator the Baltimore San
seems to have survived its usefulness.
From the Hartford Democrat
The returns from Baltimore city, giving the
regular Democratic ticket from eight to ten
thousand majority, notwithstanding the OPP
position of the Sun, indicate very clearly tnat
that luminary no longer shines for all, and is
but small factor in forming public OPINION.
From the Port Tobacco Times.
The increased majority of the regular Dem
ocratic ticket throughout the State, and es'
pecially in Baltimore city, in the face OF the
strong opposition OF the Baltimore hh,aHorus
the best evidence of the fact of the waning
influence of that journal, and is another Illus
tration of the maxim that the "mischievous
OK hath short horns.
From the TolrsoH Journal.
The politically unholy coalition also at
tempted to elect members of the Legislature
in the Second and Third Legislative Districts,
but it signally failed, though championed by
the Sun. Not word could be said against
the integrity of the Regular Democratic can
didates. 1t was no doubt secretly concoct-
ed scheme to get into the Senate and House
of Delegates members who would not vote
for Senator German for re- election. The Sun
has never before been known to take such
stand as that.
From the Baltimore Herald.
The atrabilious and decrepit Sun prints an
editorial entitled "Dealing With Disappoint.
ments.'' Certainly that musty old sheet could
not have chosen subject more suited to its
present condition of chagrin and popular
repulse During its long career in greed ami
self seeking the Sun has rarely met with such
a rebuke as was administered to it by the
voters of this state and city on the Sd instant.

In Calvert county the Australian election
law prevails and the tickets are furnished
by the state. At one precinct the package
supposed to contain tickets was only pack
age of public documents, consequently no
election could be legally held. The Re-
publicans at once, without any evidence
whatever, concluded the omission was IA
Democratic trick to carry the county, and
sent to a neighboring precinct for tickets
and held an election. The Democratic
Judges would not act and Democratic voters,
except few, declined to vote. The Re
publican judge appointed two others aud
held an election and certified the result.
A muddle has resulted and two sets Of re-
turns have been forwarded to the Cover
nor, one showing the election Of the Demo
cratic ticket and the other the election Of
the Republican ticket. Only local officers
are affected.

Across the water everything does not
seem altogether happy. England does not
intend to evacnate Egypt, as Russia would
like her to do; Italy has announced again
that the Pope's power is spiritual, and that
Italy will not fail in the respect owing to
liberty of conscience and religious toler-
ation,-the Pope is expected to prepare a
sharp note in reply; Russia and Turkey
are at odds again, and there is internal
trouble in the Porte's kingdom; France
and the Sultan of Morocco are having a
dispute over the possession of the Oasis of
Touat, while the people of Touat dispute
the claim OF each; ireland is in its chronic
state of unrest, its inhabitants being divided

The United Brethren Case.

A dispatch from indianapolis, Indiana,
November I, says the Supreme Court has
handed down an opinion affirming the decis-
ion of Special Judge Bundy. of Wayne coun-
ty, in the celebrated United Brethren Church
case, which gave the property to the liberals.
The point at issue was the possession of a
large amount of property in Wayne county,
and indirectly the vast amount of property
owned by the church all over the United
States.
The dispute arose over the revised Comics
sion Of Faith, the church dividing into two
parties, the liberals and radicals. The radi-
calls were in the minority, but they demanded
the church property, including the $3.50, 900
book plant at Dayton, Ohio. The decision
of the Supreme Court is that the matter has
been properly adjudicated in the ecclesiasti
cal courts of the church, and there is no need
for the interference of the civil courts.

The Earthquake in Japan.

A telegram was received from the Japanese
government on Friday of last week by Mr..
Iateno, the Japanese minister at Washing
ton, giving an account of the earthquake
which occurred in Japan on the 2sth of Octo-
Der. 1t seems from this authentic report
that the damage caused by the earthquake
was confined almost entirely to the prefec-
lures of Aichi and Gifu, the former of which
is on the sea, about 10 miles from Toxic,
and the latter Immediately to the west. Ma
goya is the chief city in Aichi prefecture,
and has population of 10000. There are
no very large cities in Gifu prefecture. No
mention is made of any damage in any
other parts of Japan. According to the tel
gram received by Mr.. Tateno $500 persons
were killed, 5000 persons were injured,
$4,000 houses were totally destroyed and
10000 were badly damaged

Arthur Pue German.


From the New York Sun.
The appearance of John l. Davenport yes
terday in his old role serves to remind the
Democrats of New York of the debt of graft
tude they owe to Arthur Pue German.
Davenport was the real author of the meas
ure known variously as the Lodge bill, the
Hoar bill, and the Force bill. He planned
the extensive scheme of Federal interference
at the polls which would have been the law of
the land today but for the inestimable service
rendered by the Senator from Maryland.
Senator German is a Democrat and great
Democratic leader.

Tariff Tax Illustrated.


That a tariff is a tax is well illustrated
by suit in the United States Court, Bal
timore. argument in which was heard on
Saturday last. Packham, Dewitt x Co.
imported 2900 empty demJohns, valued at
S35S.OS Collector Marine imposed tax
or duty of 40 per cent. upon them, amount
ine 10 Sl54.03. Packham, Dewitt X Co.
claimed that the demijohns were dutiable
only at one cent pound, amounting to
$1,000, and appealed to the Board of
General Appraisers, who sustained their
construction of the Mckinley law. Col
lector Marine thereupon took the case to
the United States Court. 1t is lmmaterlal
about the decision of the court for the
purpose of the illustration. On $685.
0S worth of goods the Collector assessed
the tax at S154.03, and the importers
admitted liability of $1,000. Taking
the latter figure as correct, here is tax
Of s13O. "a collected on S35S.0S worth of
goods imported. Now this Sl3O.54 is i'm
posed to protect the glass manufacturers OF
this country-that is, the tax IS placed on
these goods so as to enable our manutac-
turers to charge one cent pound more for
demiiohns. If the collectors view is cor
rect here is a tax of Sl54.03 on S35S.OS
worth of goods, in order that our manu-
facturers may increase their profit forty
per cent. over fair one.
The importer pays the tax, and he adds
the tax to the price Of goods. The cost OF
the demijohns was S358.OS. The tax,
s154.03, which Collector Marine imposed,
would make the total cost S512.l1. The
importer adds his profit to the cost and
toEs asnd sells to he retailer. The retailer
III his rroft and sells to the people 50
thepeople in the end pay the tax :, .un
Ms case the money goes to the Sup, sup.
port Of the government; Y 2as home ';iic- man
ufathu1er, 10 drive out foreign competition,
sells little below the cost of the foreign
goods, with the tax added. Peoples neces-
sites generally require them to buy the
cheaper goods, and they use the home
made article. In this case the money goes
into the pockets of the manufacturers.
The tax of forty per cent. permits the home
manufacturer to add thirty per cent. profit
above fair one-for it is assumed the
foreign manufacturer does not sell except
at prolific the cost of his goods, and
still undersell the foreign manufacturer by
ten per cent
There is a difference between the price
of labor here and abroad, say the advo-
Gates of protection. We grant that, but
the freight across the ocean and insurance
fully covers the difference The thirty
per cent or more above fair profit goes
into the pockets of the manufacturers-not
into the pockets of the mechanics-and
that is why the manufacturers are growing
richer and the farmers and other consumers
poorer.
What is true of demUohns is true of
almost every other article. If the tariff is
not tax, and does not protect our manu-
facturers-that is, enable them to increase
their profits, then protection is humbug.
If it does protect, then the great body of
the American people are robbed, by being
charged excessive profits by the manufac-
turers.

Plat, in New York, was about as far off
in his calculations on the vote of his state
as the Republican leaders of Carroll. He
missed his mark about 65, 900 votes. In
stead of 10000 majority for his man, Fas-
sett, there were As, 900 majority for Flower.
Republicans call this an "off-year," and
probably that is the reason they were so
far ''off'' in their calculations.

Arthur P. German.

From the Hartford Comm Times.
The new Maryland Legislature will return
Mr. German to the seat he adorns in the
United States Senate. This is as it should
be.
The country does not fully understandable
Democracy does not yet fully understand
the real extent and Importance of Mr.. Cor
mans services at critical time for the Dem
ocrats and for republican government. The
dominance of party spirit, which alone car
ried the infamous Lodge bill through the
House-a House of which Reed was the
Speaker-was driving shat ruinous measure
through the more conservative Senate also.
1t required tact, GOODNESS, alertness, and
firmness, all-and all to an extraordinary de-
gree-for the more prudent and patriotic
part of the Senate to successfully resist the
evil measure, which would have put hordes
of INSCRIPTIONS Republican partisans, of the
the ''Little Johnny Davenport stripe of
reckless wickedness, over the ballot boxes,
North or South, wherever the Republicans
we're in minority. To Arthur P. German S
wise and able leadership-aided by some of
the better men on the Republican side of the
chamber-the country owes its salvation from
the infiction of this despotic and shameful
measure upon the United States. 1t was a
critical time and a great delverance.
There are few such men as Arthur p. Cor
man, and the Democracy of the whole coun-
try will be glad and proud to recognize, at
any time, or in almost in any way, his great
ability and inestimable services.
