POLITICAL CORRUPTION.

Judge Henry d Harlan OF Balti-
more in his address to the Grand
Jury of that CITY on Wednesday,
gave the following timely admonition
on the purity of the ballot box:
"The freedom and purity OF the
ballot is absolutely essential to the
perpetuation of the free institutions
of our commonwealth, the blessings
of which We enjoy, and you have no
more sacred trust than to see to il
that the laws which have been en-
acted to surround our elections with
such safeguards as 10 insure an
honest vote and an honest count
are faithfully obeyed, to the end that
all dishonesty, fraud, bribery, intim-
idation and corruption in connection
Herewith promptly brought to light
and punished. The last legislature
by the enactment of chapter a3S,
acts Of 1892, added to the statue
book what is known as the primary
elections law, and fraudulent voting,
ballotbox stuffing, repeating and
falsifications at primary elections are
now serious crimes. 1t will be your
duty to take cognizance of such
offenses as may be brought to your
reasonable notice"
1t is humiliating admission, but
there is pressing necessity in Cecil
county for similar primary election
| law.
Never in the political history of
this county has bribery of voters
been SO open and brazen.taced as at
the recent Democratic primaries,
and never has political corruption so
run mad. If this thing is 10 continue
In Cecil, every self respecting man
who aspires to Democratic honors
must be driven in shame from the
field of local politics The gentlemen
who owe their nominations to these
corrupting and demoralizing meth
DDS, deserve defeat at the hands of
the self respecting voters of the
Democratic party, If for no other
reason.

MR.. VEST DEFENDS COLORADO.
He Criticises the President and Takes
an Unequivoeai Position In Favor
of Free Coinage.

On the 14th Senator Vest Of Missouri called
up his resolutian relative to maintaining the
parity between gold and silver and addressed
the Senate upon 1t.
Before beginning his speech in support of
the resolution, Mr.. Vest had read the declara-
tions In the Republican and Democratic plat
forms on the subject of silver In order to
show that both parties were practically
agreed on that question. He said that It was
time for the people of the United States to
know whether politics were a juggle and a
fraud, or whether the solemn declarations of
parties were worthy the condolences of a free
people.
Taking up the Sherman act, Mr.. Vest
spoke Of it as houseless and homeless legis-
lative dog, with no one even TO give # bone
and without being able to find a kennel in
which to hide its dishonored head. And,
nevertheless, he would vote against It's repeal
without guarantee solemn as the great
necessity of the people, that silver exist in
the United States as money metal
He had been known as the firm and ,,n-
shrieking friend OF the President of the
United States, and had in all his campaign
speeches in Missouri declared Mr. Cleveland
TO be bimetallist like himself. and that they
only differed in reference TO the ratio. He
had the right TO make that statement because
Mr. Cleveland had accepted the nomination
on platform which pledged the Democratic
party to bimetalllsm. But now It was certain
from the Presidents message that he certainly
meant that consideration OF the question of
the free collage Of silver at any ratio was SO
impracticable that it did not need executive
notice.
In replying to questions by Mr.. Gray of
Delaware, Mr. Vest asserted that any discus
sion on the subject would be imperfect and
unsatisfactory which did not admit, on both
sides, what was known to every Intelligent
man, that If the volume of money was in
creased the prices of commodities went up.
and that II the volume Of money was de-
creased the prices of commodities went down
And so, IL one-half the coin currency of tue
country were stricken down, the burdens of
those who owed money would be doubled and
the prices of commodities would be put down
beyond computation. There was no Justice

WHATEVER the cause in the shrink
age of immigration, the fact is a
gratifying one. and it is to be hoped
that the immigration officials under
the existing laws will find a way to
do SO much sitting that the decrease
will be continuous hereafter. Some
portions of the United States are
getting to be a little too crowded
now, and we are likely to need the
thinly settled portions for the natur-
al increase of our population to over
flow in. This necessity of the future
must not be overlooked nor forgotten
in our treatment of the immigration
question, and whatever can be done
to curtail the increase of populatio
by the tramp steamship method
should be done.
