colored Men on the Lily whites.

The Monumental Colored Literary and
Scientific Association of Baltimore on Tues
day night paid its respects to the Lilly
Whites" on their recent circular advising
the formation of Republican clubs with no
colored men on the lists Lawyer Cummings
spoke Of the originators of the movement as
white washed statesmen" and Latter-d day
Saints" whose hatred to the colored man was
stronger than their loyalty to the party.
Rev. w. NJ. Alexander thought that the
disfranchisement of the colored race was at
the bottom of the movement, and E. II. SUIT.
ton said the Lilies were afraid the colored
people would register and capture the central
committee. He was for organization and
getting rid of the "bummersi who swell
around on Emancipation Day, and TO see
whether the tail can wag the dog or the dog
wag the tail.
George Chambers styled the Lilies the
silly Wumps,' and favored the nomination
of black men for all offices and black men
voting for them.
Secretary W. A. Hawkins said the colored
men chad made mistake when they allowed
themselves to be transformed from chattel
slaves to political slaves"
Revel H. Fooks said that if any class Of
men represented the lowest and meanest end
of creation it was the white Republicans Of
Maryland
Other speeches were made, and Lawyer
Cummings closed the debate. The only way

The Old Lady was Hurt.


The Baltimore Sun is shedding its most
malignant rays upon what it denominates a
little s.coterie of editors who have seen fit
to find fault with the San. The criticisms
of these country editors, says the Sun. don't
hurt the Sun yet the fact remains that their
utterances have elected twelve inch deliv-
GRANGE in the SIMS editorial column which
demonstrates that something has been said
by somebody which does hurt the SIN and
over which the Sun is sore. Had our esteem
ed contemporary gone on in the even tenor
of its way and paid no attention to the alleg
ed attacks upon it and its course, the general
verdict would have been that it was not hurt,
but its exhibition Of temper in its editori II

Why Pork is High in Price.

From the New York Sun.
Only twice in twenty years have the prices
for hog products reached the present level,
and since the war every such advance has
come one or two years after short corn crops,
and has been due directly to deficient harvests.
1t is true that the corn crop 1877 was much
below the average, and such crops have
heretofore been Immediately followed by
free marketing Of swine, which the owners
thought it improbable, in view of the high
price of corn to feed longer or to keep for
breeding purposes; but in the present case
the usual procedure has been reversed, as
short corn crop has not been followed by
increased but by diminished offerings, the
winters packing having been only about
three-fifths the number packed in the proceed
ing year.
While short corn crops have heretofore
Immediately caused free marketing, to be
followed a little latter by diminished supplies,
the minimum of offerings being reached IN
from one to three years after the harvesting
of very deficient corn crop, in this instance
the diminished offerings preceded as well as
followed the harvesting of the deficient crop
of 1892, and clearly are due to causes other
than such as have governed heretofore.
Present conditions, affecting the supply OF
the raw material entering into bacon, ham,
and lard, are evidently unusual and due to
some cause relating further back and more
permanent than "a deficient corn harvest,
which otherwise would, as heretofore, have
had the immediate effect Of enlarging the
supply by prompting the marketing oil an
undue proportion oil young as well as breed
ing animals, to be ultimately followed by
such a reduction of stocks as necessarily
results from drying the current at its source.
Such results followed the deficient corn bar
vests of 1874 and 1884, and, in lesser degree,
the short crop of 1890. The present high
range of prices, cannot, however, be attribut-
ed TO any such cause, MS the acreage yield OF
corn IN 1891 WAS exceptionally high and the
deficient supply of swine was developed while
this great cro,, was fed and before the result
.oss:tbas corn harvest of 1898 could be known.
Ii is trne that many have attributed the
deficient supply to a short crop OF pigs IN
the spring of 1891, but the deficit was known
10 exist, and was discussed as early as Feb
ruary, 1892, as likely to obtain irrespective
of the pig crop then being weaned.
The causes producing the present shortage
are unusual in the United States, wholly
different from those heretofore producing
high prices, and go to the very root Of pro.
duetion; and there seems little probability of
this period of high prices being followed by
one of low prices. On the contrary, present
conditions are neither temporary nor such AS
as are likely to end, as heretofore, in prices
below a remunerative level, even if the acre
age Weld of corn shall be for several years az
the maximum.

Ebony and Topaz.

The 'sLily Whites" as they are called,
is Republican faction in Baltimore that
is anxious to shake off the colored coutin-
gent entirely from the Republican party
and to sever the connection which has ex-
listed from the time of their enfranchise-
ment until now. They think with the
Baltimore american, the chief organ of
the Republican party in Maryland, which
said on the morning after the first election
in 1870, that the colored voters were an
"element Of weakness" It's right pretty
fight That has been inaugurated by the
LILLY Whites in Baltimore against their

A precious one from us has gone
A voice we loved is stilled;
a place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given,
And, though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in Heaven.
Through all pain at times he'd smile,
A smile of Heavenly birth,
And when the angels called him home
He smiled farewell TO earth.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps,
And the sunbeams love to linger
Where our dear brother sleeps.
Had he asked us well he knew
We would say spare the blow;
Eyes with streaming tears would pray,
Lord we love him let him stay.
In love he lived, in peace he died,
His life was asked, but God denied.
Lonely the house and sad the hours
Since dear Preston is gone;
Bnt, oh, a brighter home than ours
In Heaven is now his own.
Farewell, dear brother, long farewell;
Oh why thou hast left us we cannot tell
But God in his wisdom and love
Has called you to his beautiful home above.
Dearest loved one, we must lay thee
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy Heavenly face.
Addiction sore long time he bore,
Physicians were in vain,
Till God our great Redeemer came
And freed him from all pain.
Our Preston has crossed the cold river
From pain and from sorrow set free;
Oh. God the great author and giver,
Take us to Preston and thee.

. New Use for Rubber.

roou results are obtained by using
rubber in connection with an anchor
rope in equalizing and relieving strain
in dredging, and in measuring the
depth and swiftness Of currents. For
nerly severe strain was caused by a
sudden jerking in pitching vessel.
This is now overcome by what is called
/, rubber accumulation, which consists
If seventy rubber discs or buffers on a
middle rod, SO arranged that by COM
preston they act as spring. The
buyers are cylindrical in shape, two
and one-quarter inches in thickness.
and separated from one another by
metal discs one-cighth of an inch thick.
and two inches larger in diameter than
the rubbers, which on expansion do
not overlap the metal surfaces. In
this device it is found that a compress
sion can be had of five feet, which is
sufficient to distribute the strain along
the entire length of the ship. The ap-
plication is made by running the rope
from a reel located aft to the middle OF
the foremast, and then passing 1t
through the rubber accumulator to the
end of the anchoring boom, which is
spar thirty feet long. From this the
rope with two hundred-pound weight
attached is dropped vertically into the
sea
