Brutal Revenge on Horses.

CLEVELAND. ONO, October 9.-Berea, n
suburb of this city on the Big Four acd Lake
Shore railroads, has developed a case involv-
ing the lowest order Of human brutality,
mystery and supernatural coloring. Three
farmers living in the neighborhood combined
in the purchase of moving machine, and
agreed that no one should be allowed to Dor
row it. A man named Brandt, living in the
neighborhood, made an attempt to get the
machine, but met with failure. after having
received promise that he would be allowed
to use it. A quarrel ensued between the
three partners and Brandt, and threats of
revenge were exchanged. A few days ago
one of the owners of the machine, on going
to his barn in the morning, discovered that n
valuable team Of horses had been mutilated
in a most horrible manner. Nailed to the
stable door was the tongue of one OF the
horses, which had been cut out as far back as
possible. By its side was the tail of the other
horse, which had been cut off close TO the
body Suspicion at once fell upon Brandt.
A son of the owner Of the horses claimed
10 have evidence sufficient to convict Brandt,
but since the day following the muiilation OF
the horses he has been mysteriously missing.
An organized search for the missing man is
being made.

BY vote of 200 to 101 the House of
Representatives on Tuesday passed the
Tucker bill repeating the federal election
laws, providing for the appointment of
supervisors of elections and deputy mar
shals, so threatening to republican institu-
tions and so odious to the people. The
Populists all voted with the Democrats for
repeal. The bill will now 80 to the Sen
ate, where it will probably be debated for
weeks, and perhaps until the House sends
over a bill for revision of the tariff

The Baltimore Herald very pertinently
remarks that the Independents and Be
publicans of Baltimore seem TO forget that
the registration books are closed for this
year, and both have forgotten to look after
registering their votes, while the Demo
cratic party has attended to this matter.
The Herald believes that four-ffths of the
new names added to the lists this year are
names of Democrats.

The deadlock in the Democratic con-
vention of the first Judicial circuit was
ended on Tuesday, and Judges Page apd
Lloyd were nominated by reclamation.
They should have been nominated by ac-
clamation when the convention first met.
Resentment towards Governor Brown was
probably at the bottom Of the matter, but
the end showed the wisdom of the Cover
nor's selections. Both Page and Lloyd
were appointed by the Governor to fill

ernulent.

When the Democratic party succeeded
10 power in Carroll in 1867 the county
debt was about sS4 900 and there was not
a cent in the treasury.
The debt today is but 1000, and there
is s25, 8s4.70 of taxes due, $4,000 due
from Baltimore county and S25S.2l from
private individuals, m aking total of
S2G,761.70.
In other words, the county has assets of
$4,000 over liabilities.

An unanswerable Argument.

The Republicans of Carroll have been
very watchful to find some matter of mis-
management or extravaganza to charge
against the Democratic government OF
Carroll, and the fact that they have not
charged any this campaign is an unan-
swerablc argument in favor of continuing
Democratic rule.

In Carroll no county tax Is levied lur
public roads and small bridges. Had the
law stood US before the tax rate would have
been 30 cents on the 800, as heretofore.
Under the new road law the tax rate for
roads is fixed by the Supervisors of each
district, and is entirely within their discre-
ton, except limit is placed at 20 cents on
the 800. The rates for the present year
range from 8 to 20 cents, only one district
having the latter rate, while three levy but
cents, one cents, three 10 cents, one
Is cents, one 16 cents, one 16g cents and
one Is cents.
While the rate for road purposes is
greater than heretofore, there has been a
vast improvement in the public highways.
Most of the districts have purchased one
or more road machines, and this expense
will not have to be incurred again for some
years And the roads, too, when once put
in good order, can be maintained at "a much
less expense than under the old system.
The road law may need amendment, and
whatever alterations that may be necessary
to improve and cheaper the system we
have no doubt will be made. The law,
however ought to be given fair trial.
Then if it is not satisfactory, some other
system can be tried.
