the Exposition is legally liable amounts to so

The defeat of State Senator John Brown
in Queen Anne's county seriously impairs
whatever chances he had Of being Collec-
tor of the Port of Baltimore. Mr.. Brown
has been unfortunate in having among his
friends the Baltimore Sun and the Balti-
more Ne,cs, just as Philip Laird was. The
latter failed to be made Collector of Inter
nal Revenue, and he was overwhelmed IN
the Democratic primaries in Montgomery
county last Saturday by over five hundred
majority. Some men, like Mr.. Cleveland,
are esteemed for the enemies they have
made; Others are overwhelmed on account
of their friends. The Cleveland Admin
istration will not be guided by Mugwump
advice and the people of Maryland will
not be lead by Tax-Dodger organs.

waiting to Hear from Cleveland.


The conservative people of the country
are anxiously awaiting the Presidents
message to Congress next week. 1t is
expected that his review of the situation
will be clear and able, and 60 far toward
harmonizing sentiment as to the course to
pursue to restore confidence to the country,
so far as this can be done by legislation.
He will probably give the Administra-
ton view of the platform upon which the
Democracy succeeded to power, and this
will be generally accepted, We believe, as
the meaning of that deliverance and the
Interpretation Of the public will as ex-
pressed last November.
Here is what the Democratic platform
contained in regard TO the Sherman act and
finance
ave denounee the Republican legislation
known as the Sherman act of 1890 as cow
ardly makeshift, franght with possibilities OF
danger in the future, which should make all
of its supporters as well as its author, anxious
for its speedy repeal. We hold to the use of
both gold and silver as the standard money of
the country, and TO the coinage of both gold
and silver without discriminating against
either metal or charge for nintage, but the
dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be
of equal intrinsic and exehangeable value, or
be adjusted through international agreement,
or by such safeguards of legislation as shall
insure the maintenance of the parity Of the
two metals, and the equal dollar of every
dollar at all times in the markets and in the
payment of debts, and we demand that all
paper currency shall be kept at par with and
redeemable in such coin.
"We insist upon this policy as especially
necessary for the protection of the farmer
and laboring classes, the first and most de-
fenseless victims of unstable money and
iuctuating currency"

There is another matter which the Star is
in favor of, and which our Governor opposed
in 1892. and that is free tert books in our
public schools. To large number of our
boys and girls HOW attending the public
schools the cost Of purchasing text books is
burden, which neither they or their parents
can Naturalization Star.
Gov. Brown was right in vetoing the
free book bill. Books are free now to all
who are unable to pay for them. The
free book bill would have cost 100000 a
year, or more, and this would have meant
increased taxation. Some careis now taken
of books; make them free and they will be
abused and many more will be required
than at present. Every parent would like
his children to have as good books as his
neighbors children have: and new books
uld have to be furnished every year or
the teacher would be in shot water.

Mr.. Lochren Doing Well.


Commissioner Lochren is rapidly bringing
order ont of chaos by his systematic methods.
The value of his order directing re-examin-
alton of the pension cases allowed by
Commissioner Raum under his interpretation
of the act of July 81, $780, is already appaF-
ent in the announcement that the result will
be the suspension of 100000 pensions; and
that ''of this enormous number it is probable
that nearly 80 per cent. will, upon further
investigation and in default of new evidence,
be dropped from the rolls, involving an annual
saving to the Government of more than $ll,
500, O00."
It is not charged that the thousands of
pensioners who are to be dropped from the
rolls had gotten their names thereon by
fraud but that the former Commissioner
erred in his Interpretation of the lava fact
which most of those already suspended have
practically conceded by accepting without
protest the Bureaus action as final and de-
clining to submit new evidence.

Siam conceded all the demands of
France, and a war cloud has disappeared
that was very threatening. TO enforce
her demands against Siam, France had set
up blockade of Siamese ports England
told France that the blockade was illegal
and that she would not tolerate any inter-
florence with British shipping. The prompt
concession by Siam of the demands of
France made the blockade unnecessary,
and avoided serious difficulty, if not act
