Republican Ideas or clvi1-servfce Reform,

BALTIMORE, Nov. 1.-The practical work
ings of Civil Service Reform, as interpreted by
our protection Republican friends, had an ex.
emplitication in the Baltimore Custom House
recently.
Mr.. William J. Blair, of Baltimore county,
who, by the way, was the first clerk appointed
by Collector GrOome under the civil service
rules and who had won his promotion under
those rules for faithfulness and efficiency, had
been for about three years Keeper of Public
Store No. and Superintendent of Bonded
Warehouses. The position is an important one,
as by a slight error, or by a lack of proper
knowledge of his duties, thousands of dollars
worth of goods hight slip through without
payment of duty. The salary OF storekeeper
was 81 800 per annum. Mr.. Blair's clerk was
Mr.. George NJ. Reese, OF Cecil county, appoint
ed July, 1885, from a list of eligibles after the
regular civil service examination. OF Mr..
Reese's fitness for his duties there never has
been the slightest question, as is attested by
bis superiors and by the business men of Bal
timore whose interests required them to deal
in imports. Since the inauguration of Pres-
dent Harrison, Mr.. Reese has been frequently
assured that his position was secure under the
civil service regulations, and also that his ex-
perience in the office was necessary under u
business administration" The salary of the
clerk was 81 600 per year, which, added to the
81, 500 salary of his superior, Mr.. Blair, made
total of 81, 400 per annum as the cost of the
department.
But along came Special Agent of the Treas
ury Department-One of those lucrative sine
cured creatures for whose existence there has
never been found a reasonable eXcuse-and
proceeds to demonstrate that the good of the
service, just prior to a national election, de-
manls the abolition of the 81 800 storekeeper
and his 81 GOO clert; and his recommendation
was adopted in u jitfy. But in the same u6ase
came an order creating new store eeper at
$4,000 and new clerkship at 81 400 the same
total of 50, 4O0-see) and the appointment of u
Mr.. Huber, of Carroll county, to the position
of storekeeper, and the reduction of Mr. Blair
to the 81 400 clersship, thus unceremoniously
dropping Mr.. Reese from the rolls. OF Mr.
Huber's fitness for the duties of course nothing
is known. Suffice it to say, that he was APP
pointed postmaster ut Westminster by Pres-
dent Lincoln and held the office for twenty
two years, and has since been chairman of the
county central or executive committee. As
the civil service salaries are from $500 to
creating 81, 900 place for Mr.. Huber need
not trouble the soul of that gentleman in the
least in reference to his ability to pass Il civil
service examination. He is "bger" man
than old Civil Service

VOTE FOR YOUR PRINCIPLES.

Mr.. Cleveland represents Democra-
tic principles, in their strength and
purity. No Democrat, we imagine,
will hesitate to vote for him. For the
same reason every Democratic vote
should be cast for Hon. j. F. c. Tai
bolt, the Democratic candidate for
Congress. He was fairly nominated, he
has had experience as member OF
Congress and he, as well as Mr.. Cleve-
land, represents the principles which
the Democratic party holds dear, and
through the operation Of which better
times will come to our farming and
other indu, trial classes. Mr.. Talbot
may be relied upon to support every
| effort made Mr.. Cleveland to reform
| the robber tariff, and Mr.. Talbot, too,
| is able to do and will do, if elected, eff
cient service with his Democratic col
leagues in preventing the passage of
the odious Force Bill. Mr.. Cleveland
without Democratic Congress to aid
him will be powerless to accomplish
the reforms which the people demand,
and therefore it is of the utmost i'm
portance that he should be backed by
a strong Democratic majority in Con
gress. Therefore, we say to every
man who opposes the protective tariff
system and the Force Bill, vote for
Mr.. Talbot.
Every Republican member of Con
gress, you may sure, will be compelled
to vote with his party for the Nc
kinley tariff and for the Force Bill
no matter what pledges he may be
rash enough to make before the cleo
ton.

Hon. a. Leo Knots Letter.

Hon. A. Leo Knott, who was invited to adj
dress the large Democratic gathering at Bel
Air, on Tuesday of last week, was unable to
attend He sent letter to Hon. John Carroll
Walsh chairman of the Executive Committee
of the Hartford County Democratic Club ex-
pressing his regrets and urging the people of
this district to support the Democratic ticket
In his admirable letter Mr.. Knott said:
"These issues-the tariff and the force bill
deeply affect not only the business, the inter
ests, the prosperity of the country, but our
political rights WELL and the character
and stability of our institutions Under the
tariff issue the question is not alone whether
we will continue to be robbed of our money
through an ubiquitous and monstrous perver-
sion of the powers conferred on the Federal
government for purposes of revenue and for
its defense and preservation.
1.-The growth and development of the tariff
policy under the fostering hand of the Repubo
lican party raises more important question
even 1t is whether that federal government
itself shall remain the property and posses
sion of the people who made it, or shall
wholly and absolutely pass under the control
and dominion of certain wealthy individuals,
reliably estimated not to exceed few thous-
ands in number and of restricted and favored
localities, to whom, under contract, it has
been handed over by the Republican party in
consideration of vast sums of money furnish
ed by these individuals to enable that party to
retain its hold on political power.
ssThese duties had been originally levied
| avowedly and solely to meet the enormous
expenditures created by the civil war, but
| had been continued ever since, in gross breach
of plighted faith, for the benefit of these man
ufacturers. When the Mckinley bill was
l framed it was handed by its authors and pro-
motors to the Ways and Means committee of
! the Republican Fifty-tirst Congress- and its
passage was forced through that body by re-
| tanned band of attorneys and lobbyists, by the
| brutal and revolutionary tactics of Speaker
| Reed, and by the exertion of the whole power
1 of the Harrison administration. This measure
| was not called for by any public requirement
| or necessity whatever. The records of that
| Congress fail to show single petition pre-
scented in its favor.
| That infamous and unconstitutional meas
| ure known as the force bill has its origin, the
| reason of its being and its animating spirit in
| the tariff policy Of the Republican party. No
tariff, no force bill. 1t is in the nature of
| crime to cause or commit other crimes to es-
1 cape detection or punishment, or secure its
| nefarious fruits. 1t is in virtue of this natu-
| raj and historic law in the genesis and out
| growth of wrong doing that the same Repub
lican House of Representatives which passed
the Mckinley bill also passed the Davenport
| Lodge bill. The one was the complement OF
the other The force bill was to safeguard and
perpetuate the Mckinley bill. Force and
fraud always hunt in couples"

Eight Colored Men Fo und Guilty of Muir.

The trial, at Chestertown. Nd, last week,
Of nine young colored men charged with the
murder of Dr. j. Heighe Hill, of Kent coun-
ty, on the night of April 23d, 1892, was con-
cluded on Wednesday of last week. They were
tried before Judges Robinson, Wickes and
Stump. erdeliberating upon the evidence,
when court assembled, Thursday morning,
Judge Robinson announced that the verdict
of the court was that Joshua Baynard, Lewis
Benson, Henry Hewett, Moses Brown, Frizby
Comegys, Charles Brooks, Fletcher Williams
and Charles s. Emory were each and all guilty
of murder in the first degree John Potts
was declared not guilty. The crime of which
these men were found guilty was a most
heinous one. On the night of the murder DIR.
Hill attended the meeting of a Cleveland
club, of which he was made President. He
left the meeting to visit sick child, but never
reached the house. In the dawn of morning
his wife was aroused by the sound of carriage
wheels, and as her husband did not soon APP
pear she went down into the yard, where she
found the Doctor lying across the foot of his
road cart, insensible. bruised and bleeding
with his head wedged under the shaft. He
died the same day. Perry Bradshaw, who
turned States evidence, related how the men
had stopped DIR. Hill in the road that Brooks
struck him with stone and Williams cut him.
Comegys and Bradshaw held the horse
Three of them then fixed the Doctors body in
the cart and Williams started the horse by
slapping him, and the horse went off in fast
trot. The men had made threats that they
intended to kill DR.. Hill. The colored people
of the nsighborhood were excited at the time
over the killing of Thomas Campbell, colored
in an affray at a saloon, last Christmas eve
DIR. Hill and DIR. Todd both signed certif-
cate stating that Campbell's death was caused
by heart disease and not by injuries received
in The affray. This certificate incensed the
colored people against DIR. Hill. On Monday
Judge Wickes sentenced the prisoners to
death by hanging.

-Gen. Stevenson's letter of accept
ance of the Democratic nomination
for the Vice Presidency, although
long delayed, is a strong document.
He presents the issues of the campaign
in striking and able manner. He
says that in his Southern tour he
found that the apprehension of the
Force Bill had stopped the invest
ments of Northern capital in the
South and caused established indus
tries to languish. This bill, he thinks,
would destroy the security of North
ern investments in the Southern
States and incite troubles and retalia-
tory legislation.

HoU to Mark Your Ticket.

If voter wishes to vote the straight ticket
of his party he has only to put or stamp his
cross-mark thus (X) opposite to and to the
right hand side of the party emblem or name
of his party and his vote will be counted for
the entire ticket. But he must be careful IL
he wishes his vote to be thus counted not to
put any other mark upon the ballot.
If man wishes to vote for the ticket of
his party, but with some exceptions-in other
words, to vote split ticket-he may do so by
putting his stamp or mark opposite to the
emblem or name of his party and erasing the
names of those persons for whom he does not
propose to vote, and putting a cross-mark
opposite to the names of the persons for
whom he wishes to vote in their stead or he
may put separate stamp or mark (X) oppo-
site to the right hand side of the name of
every person for whom he does wish to vote,
aud then his vote will be counted for such
persons only shd for no others.

THE TIN TAX.

Our Republican friends boastfully
assert, as an argument in favor of the
Mckinley tariff tax of 80 per pound
on tin, that tin cans were bought
cheaper this year than in 1891. We
do not dispute this, but they know
and every Gamer knows that last
year, anticipating only the usual yield
of corn and tomatoes, can-makers
were not prepared for the sudden and
general demand for cans in which to
pack the overlooking yield. AS a con-
sequence cans being scarce the price
advanced. Will these gentlemen tell
us what tin cans would be worth now
if the useless tariff on tin were abol-
ished? Also, whether there is any
difference in price between imported
tin and tin made in this country
Also, whether cans were as high in
price before the duty on tin was
increased as they are now? These
questions will be answered at the polls
next Tuesday.

I'm West Virginia Secretary of
War Elkins, who is under contract to
carry that State for Harrison, has
adopted the ''blocks of five' method,
which was pursued by Dudley in
Indiana in 1888. The plan came out
in the discovery of a commission to
Jacob Redmond, of Jackson county,
appointing him captain Of company
of five OF his neighbors, whom he was
authorized to see duly voted the ticket
as he dictated. The names of the men
were given and they became so indig-
nant that each of them published a
card saying he had got along so far
without the aid of bunco steerer to
guard him to the polls or to see that he
votes right, and he will now vote the
Democratic ticket.
