The Strength of Prohibition Party
and the WesEness of Prohibit
ton Ticket.

The prohibition party of Talbot
county held its convention at EsstOn
recently WHICH vas reported by the
Gazeiie very handsomely. In its
editorial notice OF the Meeting the
Gazette speaks very fiatteringlv of
the party, and after rubbing 1t down
in the most kindly manner com
mences to rub against the grain in
the f",lGving fashion.
Mr.. Tucker, tie Gtate Organizer,
delivered himself in style thai won
the esteem of his political opponents.
He criticised Senator Hill. quoting
bitter denqnpiatiQps of democratic
journals. adding that the Prohibition
party would not have such men in
office, He did not explain to his
audience that it vas beyond doubt
that same party is responsible for
Hill being just where he is. That
party alone defeated honest and pure.

who, encouraged by bis heelers and
the rum politicians of New York city,
grasped for the presidency of the
United States and compromised on
the senatorship If bis influence in
the senate is bad one, the old
parties are not altogether to blame"
"Honest and pure minded Warner
Miller !" That is enough OF joke
to make man laugh in the midst of
snow blizzard.
In defense of honest independence
if not of the prohibition party, we
protest against all such reasoning.
The prohibition party does not be
long to the republican party, nor are
it's members the chattels of that party.
an infamous and nnfounded claim
the politicians of that party have set
up ever since the prob ibitionists con
cluded they would have a party of
their own. Warner Miller ran for
governor on a whiskey ticket be
publicly declared not to favor prohibit
tion but to carry New York Tor Har-
rison and elect Hill the Tammany
whiskey governor, and no such re.
publican party deal can establish a
claim to a prohibition vote. The
prohibition party in common with
every other party has a political and
moral right to vote for its own ticket,
and no other party has any claim
whatever under any pretense on a
single voter of the party. The re-
publican party is fully as much a
whiskey party as the democrat party
but its methods are somewhat diff
ferent
The great error in the prohibition
party is in its putting up ticket of
its own. IF the whiskey party were
to set up ticket it would be beaten
out of sight as the prohibition party
is. The whiskey men are wise in
their generation. They have organic,
I'd strong political party aud that
party throws Its whole vote against
suy candidate in any party whose
record is against their business. By
this system of practical politics they
have succeeded in cowing the two old
parties so effectually that they have
yoked them together and driven them
as easily as boy drives a yoke of
well broken oxen. The whiskey
party possesses the wisdom of the
devil and uses that wisdom for bad
purpose. The prohibition party
should take leaf FROM their book
and use it in good cause.
The 2bO votes of the prohibition
party of this county without a ticket,
but held solid as a prohibition party
can beat any whiskey candidate that
is set up and COW both parties into
tame subsection after one or two
elections. These are thousands who
will cut and vote against a whiskey
candidate who will not vote for q
prohibition party candidate.

The American House of Lords.
A recent despatch from London say

A recent despatch from London says:
''Four thousand persons assembled in
Trafalgar Square to-day in answer 10 call
for manifestation against the House of
Lords"
The time has come for the American
people to make similar manifestations for
the abolition of the United States Senate
which is veritable American House of
Lords. But in view of the abolition of this
cumbersome branch Of the United States
government, other reforms are urgently
needed to bring the law-making power
nearer to the people, or TO prevent it from
going out Of their hands.
With the abolition Of the American
Senate should go the abolition of the veto
power in the hands of the President, and all
important acts before becoming laws be
referred to the people for their approval or
rejection. In Switzerland this is known as
the referendum. Our delegated system of
government, state and national, is proving
a dismal failure. There is entirely too
much power in the hands Of the President.
Mr.. Cleveland is placing before the Amer
lean people one of the most impressive, as
we'll as alaraming, lessons they ever had, in
his abuse of the prerogatives which the
constitution places In his hand. Every bill
he has personal objection 10 he threatens
with his veto in advance of its passage, and
in addition to this despotic use of what was
intended to be purely restraining power,
in order TO refer acts of doubtful utility TO
the people 10 pass upon, be has degraded to
his personal use the numerous Offices within
the Presidential gift, by refusing to make
appointments in congressional districts
unless members of Congress would vote for
or against such measures as he favored or
objected to.
The evil as we'll as prospective danger Of
these delegated powers were never SO appar-
eut before as in the present administration.
The chief objection is not that they have
been abused, bul that the constitution has
placed them in the way of being abased.
With the Senate abolished, the veto taken
out of the hands of the President, together
with three. fourths of the offices which he is
given the power to Fill by appointment; the
veto placed in the hands of the people
and appointment to Office brought nearer to
them, the American nation would be in a
way 10 start on a new race for prosperity
with the prospect brighter than eyer for
achieving the high ideal in human govern
ment the world is looking in anxious expec-
tation for to the great republic.

State Monopoly Recommended.

The National Alliance which held
its annual session in Topeka. Kas,,
commencing on February 6, passed
the following resolution:
Resolved: That we favor such leg
islation by the State as will place
the liquor traffic under State agents,
nound to obey the law, SO as to
eliminate fIom the business the cor
rupting element of profit.
This is the principle of the South
Carolina Dispensary law, except that
South Carolina makes the State con.
troll and sale an element of profit,
which is far better than licensing
private persons to sell without re-
striction and for all the profit they
can make out of the business, with
out regard to loss and injury to the

The Dog Jaw.

Strong resolutions were passed by the
Farmers Club at its last meeting in
respect to the dog law of this county
which are published in this issue of
the MIDLAND JOURNAL The law is
not altogether al fault, but fails of the
purpose designed largely on account of
the officers whose business it is to en-
force it, failing or neglecting the work
assigned them. The failure of most OF
our laws is failure on the part of the
officers. No law can execute itself.
The provisions of the dog Jaw are: All
owners of dogs and sluts upwards of 2
months old in Cecil county shall pay
an annual tax ofone dollar for each dog
and two dollars for each slut.
1t is the duty of the treasurer to
canvass thoroughly the county in
order to ascertain the owners of dogs
and shuts therein" 1t is plainly the
duty of the collector or treasurer to
make an assessment of the dogs. He
virtually neglects this part of his duty.
The law further provides, The trea-
surer shall, on or before the first day of
April of each year, file in the office of
the county commissioners the books
used by him in registering the names
of persons from whom he received said
tax on dogs and sluts and at the same
time shall also file list of the owners
OF dogs and sluts who have not paid
the tax due from them, attaching
thereto statement showing the mum
Der of dogs and sluts for which no
owner could be found" Does the trea-
surer do all or any part of this work /?
Sect. 32S of the law makes it obligatory
on the treasurer to carry out the law to
its fullest extent.
1.-The treasurer upon the order Of the
county commissioners shall cause to be
killed any dog or slut for which said
tax is not paid before the first day of
April Ill each year and whose owner
has no property from which the tax
and costs OF sale can be realized; and
for such service the commissioners
may allow such compensation as they
may deem adequate \ = y and any
person opposing or in any way hinder
ing said treasurer or any one appointed
by him to kill any dog or slut in the
performance of his duty, shall be fined
not more than one hundred dollars and
costs nor less than ten dollars and costs,
upon conviction before any justice of
the peace in and for Cecil county, and
shall stand committed to the county
Jail until the fine and costs are paid y
Here is law and p'enty OF it to assess
ard collect the tax on every dog in the
county two months C d or sill the dog.
The treasurer is first required to assess
ana list every dog owner in the county
and number the dogs that have no ac
knoWledged owner and Ieturn the lists
to the county com missioners. He then
can appointa dog killer in every dist
riot, provide him with list of the dogs
and then owners and it is the duty of
the county commissioners to bargain
with said dog killers providing for pay
ing them for the work. The law is n
good strong law and If executed in
letter and spirit there would be 5000
dead dogs ia the county or $4,000 in the
treasury of dog tax annIally. IT is not

Hey dlddle diddlel
I'll read you riddle,
AS plain as the man in the moon;
How long will it take
For the governments sake
To send this whole country 10 ruin?
There was man in our town,
And he was wonderous wise,
He voted for the Democrats,
And thought he'd get rise.
And when he found his wages fall
With all his might and main.
He blamed it on the Wilson bill,
And lost his vote again.
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
She had SO many children she didn t know what
to do,
For few had monopolized all the.bread,
While the others had nothing-no victuals nor
bed;
So this good Mrs. Grover-why what did she do
She issued some bonds for the sake of the few.

And put all his prices up high
With his thumb to his nose,
How he swaggers and crows.

Without a red cent to his name
He votes for Cleveland just the same.

Direct Legislation and Proportional
Representation,

Representation.
The people will never be able to con-
troll legislation till proportional repre-
sentation and direct legislation are
adopted. This will insure voice in
legislation not exclusively of tyran-
nizing and often. in large degree cor
rupt majority, but voice of every con
siderable division of the people holding
views in opposition to the majority and
who have a right to be heard and to
participate in making laws under
which they are obligated to live and
obey.
Direct legislation is no less necessary
in order to keep the law making power
in the hands of the people out of which
it never should be trusted for single
moment.
To guard their liberties is the most
sacred trust confided to any people, and
to insure its safety the power to defend
and preserve it should never be per-
mitted to pass from them INTO the con-
troll of representative or delegated
body composed ofan almost infintisinal
number of the population. This system
of delegated political power has proved
an expensive experiment to the people
ofthis country, both in state and nation.
And more than this it is becoming a
grave danger which should be abolish
ed One of the most pressing political
reforms demanded for the safety and
turity of the ballot is direct legislation
coupled with proportional representa-
ton.

THE BOOK FREE.
The measure most threatening to the
treasury is the bill to provide free books
for the children Of the public schools of
the State. Naturally this is a very
popular measure, but to put it into
practice would practically put the State
10 debt five or six millions of dollars.
At least the money necessary to pro-
vide free books would amount to the
interest on that sum. When asked
what he thought of the free school book
bill the State tax commissioner. DR..
Frank T. Shaw, said; Whatever my
opinion may be as to the merits of the
bill, do not think this is an oppor-
tune time to indulge in the expenditure
of public money for extraordinary
purposes.
The State treasurer, Mr.. Spencer G.
Jones. has been equally active with the
comptroller in urging the Legislature to
keep down all extraordinary expendi
lures He says the treasury of Mary
land has fixed AID defuate policy, and
all good citizens should give it their
earnest support. The policy is to keep
up the sinking fund of each created
debt, as required by the constitution.
and to create no debt unless provision
is made for it's payment on the expira-
lion Of the constitutional limit. II extra
ordinary expenditures are INDUCED in
it will involve the treasury in debt, and
the only way TO meet the debt will be
by treasury relief loan or increase
taxes. 1t would seem, therefore. from
this consensus of opinion that the only
way to CRAFTY the desire for free books
in the State schools is to Increase the
taxes or authorize school book loan.
AID TO AGRICULTURAL FAIRS.
Mr.. Mackall has introduced a bill
to foster anu encourage agricultural
fairs in the State by amending an act
passed in 1892 giving. State aid to the
agricultural fair associations The
act of 1892 appropriated 50 900 to b.
given to the county associations
having Q paid-up capital OF $4,000
and surplus of $500. 1t exempted
the Montgomery end Frederick
County Fair Associations from the
benefits of appropriation. Mr.. Mack
all's bill provides that the same
amount shall be appropriated, to br
distributed TO associations having "a
paid up capital of $4,000 or pro-
perty to that amount. 1t also includes
Montgomery and Frederick counties
in its provisions.
This appropriation is mainly ito
foster and encourage" not "agricul
ture" but the horse trot.
