Fighting Their Battles Ger.
FARMIYGToH. Jan. 6, 1894.

FARAnSGToY, Jan, 6, 1894.
A war drama entitled "From Sumpter
TO Appomattox, was given in the Aeade-
my Of Music, at this place last night. The
play very wildly portrays the stirring
scenes Of the war from '6l to 80. Its au-
thor deserves the highest encomiums Each
character was fairly well impersonated
The clutch Niger and the English
Irish" woman alternated and eommingled
the various languages aud dialects with a
faculty which was truly wonderful.
The several tableaux in the play were
particularly striking and awe inspiring.
The only drawback to them was the failure
of the red fire TO burn. Otherwise they
were very fine.
The most interesting feature connected
with the play was the presentation, by the
people of the community Of a suit OF clothes
TO the cultured and accomplished manager
before the drama was undertaken
The play was given for the benefit of the
G. A. r. Post at this place.

An editorial in the st. Mary's
Enterprise, of November 3, 1894,
under the headlines, ''Honest Dem
ocrats, Are These Things Right ?"
bristles with slanderous charges.
The writer states, in substance, that
ne IS in possession Of information
that the official signature of the
President OF the Board of Supervi-
sors of Elections is kept and is
used by some county democrats to
lndorse ballots to be used for fraud
ufent purposes
From the article in question we
CLEAN that this reference is to the
signature of the late president Of
board, and is by innuendo, at least,
an unmanly and a cruel attack upon
as pure and as honest a gentleman
as ever drew the breath of life.
Mr.. b. r. Abel is now perhaps
upon his death bed and it is in Just
ice to him that the following state
ment is made:
Never to my knowledge since the
first Australian ballot was printed
in 1890, has an election ticket been
printed or Endorsed in st. Mary's
county. In 1890 the tickets were
printed in the BEACON Office and
then necessarily the electrotype Of
the signature of the president Of
the supervisors was here. In 1891
the electrotyped fac-similes were
taken to Baltimore and at Mr..
Abell's request discarded and new
ones with a radical change in the
manner of signature, made. No
electrotyped plate of the fac-simile
of the signature of the president of
the board of supervisors. except
those used on the tickets of 1890,
has, l am morally certain ever been
seen by any resident of st. Mary's
county. Mr.. Abel was ever care
full in the conduct of the business
of his office and though the sigma
ture used on the ticket of 1890 had
been changed and the fac-similes
thereof were valueless he wished
them destroyed and all but woodcut
of the 1890 signature, which could
not be used for printing on tickets,
were taken to Baltimore and turned
in to be melted. The man who has
had the tickets printed has never
seen the elcctrotypes of Mr.. Car
penter's fac-simile signature nor of
Mr.. Abel's, save in 1890, as above
stated. FRANCIS V. KING.
If any of the electrotyped fac
SMILES are in the county or except
those used on the tickets of 1890
have been in the county let the one
who has the information be man
enough to say who has them!
There are other charges made in
the same editorial which we have
not now space to notice, but people
of the county should know against
whom the charges are made, and
among other things let us be told
what distinguished Democrat prom
ised the patronage of district to
Republican for committing a fraud
or for any other reason. Turn on
the light; names names and give
men a show to defend themselves?

wALLopED.

The Democratic party has been
badly beaten in the elections in the
Union. The House of Representa-.
tives and possibly the Senate has
been lost to it. With the exception
of the Presidency the Republicans
have won very nearly everything,
but with Cleveland in the White
House can accomplish no repeal of
the Wilson tariff. In this State we
have lost three Congressman, one
in the End, one in the 9Th and one
in the 9Th district. The returns
show the utter decentralization of
the party in Maryland. In our
own county the result is an increas-
ed Republican majority which the
figures show is due not to any in
crease in the Republican vote but
to Democratic stay-at-homes.
Only two districts in st. Mary's,
the 3rd and 9th, make good DEM
ocratie showing. The 4th also did
well under the circumstances for il
had this year the strong influence
Of Mr.. j. Ii. Ching fighting in the
Republican cause and the outcome
there is in large measure we think
due to that fact.
All in all, however, there is no
need for despair. We have been beat
en- before and nave rallied to victory.
Study the figures, see for yourselves
the causes of the disaster and brace
up for the next fight with a deter
mination that hereafter the vote of
every st. Mary's Democrat shall be
recorded on election day and the
party will again come into its own.
See figures elsewhere.

THE KREMLIN CRYPTs.-The
order of the late Czar to search the
subterranean halls and rooms of the
great Kremlin, at Moscow, for hid
den treasures has aroused interest
not only in Russia, but throughout
the civilized world. The prime
reason for the order, says the New
York Tribune, is the belief that in
some far-away cell is hidden the
famous library of Ivan ". surnam-
ed the Terrible. Ivan " was the
Louis NJ of Russia. 1t is known
that the famous ruler devoted the
little leisure time left him by war
and politics to collecting Greek and
Latin manuscripts, and it is believ-
cd that more than 500 of these pre-
ciOus documents are concealed in
some underground cavern of the
palace in which he passed much of
his time. Most Of these manu-
scripts, according to Russian schol-
las, upon whose recommendation
the Gar has acted, are unknown to
the occidental world and may
change many of the accepted Greek
and Latin traditions. The result
of the tour of discovery is, there
fore, awaited with deep interest,
not only by Russian savants, but
by scholars all over the world.
Many other things of value-in-
trinsie and historical-may be
brought to light by the search in
these caverns. The Kremlin is the
most important building in all
Russia. The name alone exercises
even today a mysterious influence
over every son and daughter of the
golden-domed country. 1t is a
monument of the glory and misery
of Russia. Its history is the his
tory of modern Russia. 1t has
been devastated by the Tartars it
has been burned by the Poles it
has been occurred by Napoleon. 1t
saw Peter the Great grow to man.
hood it saw the fall of Boris God
unof and the False Dimitri. 1t
has been spotted by the blood of
the innocent and stained with the
blood of the guilty. But with all
its history it inspires Russian to-
day with feelings to which words
can give no adequate expression.
In the dark caverns are supposed
to be not only the manuscripts of
Cicero, Caesar, Tacitus and the
Greek writers, but documents re-
lating to the history of Russia, tes-
taments of ancient Russian princes,
and papers left by the Monaghan
Khans, who once held sway within
its walls. Russian writers of the
seventeenth century mention the
library of Ivan ", and say that
the subterrancan vaults contain
other, almost countless, treasures,
hidden by the czars and princes in
times of war and invasion. The
only fear is that the manuscripts
have been destroyed by the book
worm, the dampness natural to the
depths in which they are supposed
TO be, or the effects of time.
Weeks or even months may go by
before the search is ended but
Alexander III will deserve and re.
ceive the thanks of all students for
undertaking a work which ezars be-
fore him declined to do.
