The popularity of the vice presi-

DON'T GRIND THEM DOWN.

We can hardly believe that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company.has
adopted a policy to grind downits en-
ployes to the starvation point, by
paying its section hands the mere
pittance of one dollar per day. One
dollar and twenty five cents per day
for a laboring man who has family
to support, is God knows little
enough, but the section men on the
P. w. & B.railroad have been receiv-
ing an even dollar for eight hours
work, and now the company de-
mands ten hours work for that sum.
Under that demand OF the company,
a threatened strike has been averted,
and the men have yielded. Ifreduc-
tons must be made, humanity itself
demands, that the laboring men who
already live near enough the starva-
ton point should at least be spared.
Grand depots, and palatial improve
ments, are meaningless monuments
of intelligent enterprise and progress,
when supported by half starved labor
and lily requited toll. Magnificent
corporation buildings and princely
official salaries, are in America, at
least inconsistent with half starved
workingmen. European nations may
tolerate such conditions, but enlight-
ened America neVer.

WITH a Bonded Debt of only $4,000
and floating debt of less than $1,000
with tax rate of only IS cents on the
$500, the improvements recently made
IN Elkton are undeniable proofs of
good business management. The
electors of the town should see to it
that at the municipal Election to be
held on Monday, men be elected
who will continue an equally good
business management. Mr.. George A.
Blake, who as President of the present
Board was unanimously renominated
at the recent town meeting, ought to
receive practically unanimous re- elect
ion, and Messrs. Herman letters and
Justus &. Dunbar, who were nominated
as candidates to succeed Messrs. Alex
ander and Strickland, are level headed
and practical mechanics.

which he does not excuse on the
ground of pressing financial exigency,
but Iustifies on the plea of inaugurating
a contest between the rich and the
poor, and which he directs to the
lowest and most dangerous prejudlces
of men, and is rank with the spirit Of
the worst form of Socialism.
Those members of the Democratic
party who have been agitatlng tol
"tarifr reform" or the ground that the
government should not be corrupted
with surplus never dreamed that they
would be called upon to support bill
which not only creates big surplus
but which sets up scheme OF per
sonal taxation through the processes Of
inqulsition and IN obedience to the
cries of Populists and Socialists. They
may well read the speech of the
champion of the Wilson bill IN the
Senate with alarm and disgust.

WHICH Is WHICH, ANYHOW

On Monday last, Senator Voor-
hees, chairman of the Finance Com
mittee of the United States Senate,
the parliamentary leader OF the
Democrats in that body and the
spokesman of the administration in
behalf of the wilson bill, used this
noticeable language:
"We hear on all hands tile dicta-
to1ial aoice Of Individual and co1bo-
ration 7oeaHh, demanding that it
shall not be d1stW bed BY tie Slightest
touch Of the tag gahhe,er, 70hate0e,
may be the demands of tie gO0e,n
menf or the oppression Of tile toillng
masses.
This startling declaration of fact is
made the justification for the impo-
sition of an income tax as embodied
in the Wilson bill.
Now, if the declaration OF Mr..
VOORHEES, be true, that Individual and
corporate wealth everywhere in this
country, or as he expresses ton
all hands''-is lodging the tax gath
erer, and that fact justifes Congress
in imposing an income tax on its
owners, how is it that tile Democratic
leaders Of Maryland haze not yet
heard tile dlctatorial u0ice2
1t is notorious fact, that the
Assessment bill was beaten at
Annapolis by Mr.. Rasin, the leader
of the Baltimore Democracy and
his political associates, and that the
Baltimore SIN, the leading Demo
cratic journal of the State, justifles
that defeat-using its own language,
upon the ground that our legislators
| Had begun themselves to realize the danger and
| the folly of attempting a re-valuaton of ali
property, real and personal, in the State, by
methods which were peculiarly inquisitorial and
offensive, at time when values were depressed
! to the lowest point, and the people were least
disposed to submit to prying inquiries into their
pecuniary affairs"
Now, if re assessment is not good
Democratic policy in Maryland,
because it could only be effected by
methods that are peculiarly inquisi-
| torial and offensive, how can it be
good Democratic policy at Washing
ton to impose an income tax by
methods still more inquistorial and
offensive?
If it isn't good Democratic policy
to pry into peoples pecuniary
agairs to raise money to meet the
demands of the State government
and to relieve the oppression of the
toiling masses in Maryland, why is
it good Democratic policy to do at
Washington what shouldn't be done
at Annapolis1
If Mr.. Rasin and his Democratic
associates at Annapolis used the
right argument to defeat re assess
ment, isn't it apparent that Mr..
VOORHEES, is using the wrong argu-
ment at Washington for the impo
sition of an income tax?
Which leader is right, anyhow,
Rasin or Voorhees,
Democratic leaders are evidently
as confused as their followers are
COMPOUNDED.

As an offset to these general laws

AS an offset TO these general laws
conceded merit, who will undertake
Justify the failure of needed legislation !:
To secure honest elections IN Mary
land by perfected State election law.
A needed law legalizing primaries 10
put some stop, at least, to the open
debauchery and defiant bribery of
voters. A law which the honest
elements OF every community in Mary
land have been demanding.
The promise of assessment in
Maryland has long since become too
stale Democratic pledge to even
consider seriously.
The vicious local legislation put
upon the people of the counties of the
State, particularly IN Cecil county,
vindlctive in character and pernIc-
iously personal, making the business
interests of the people the plaything
of factlonal politics, and prostitutlng
legislation as a means of gratifying
personal vengeances, constitute some
measure of the public service( p which
has just cost the taxpayers of Maryland
the magnificent sum of s163,5oo.oo.

The debate on the tariff bill.
which began in the Senate on Mon
day, will doubtless continue for
several months, and it will not be
until summer before a vote is likely
to be taken on it, if, indeed, the
Republicans shall allow a vote to be
taken at all. This they certainly
will not do so long as it is in its
present shape. The income tax
alone would justify the employment
OF all the parliamentary resources
within their command for the
indefinite obstruction of the bill.
