harbor without being molosted by the gar
rison of the Chinese fort, Only portion

is whether the moneyed powers, trust

ton of single gold standard, ignoring
silver. thus reducing the redemption
money Of the country one half. greatly
enhancing the value OF gold. reducing
and controlling the prices Of the pro-

TO KICK OR NOT 20 KIckP

The Democrats of Maryland, or al
leasta part of them, are in quandary
The course of Senator German in re.
gard to the passage of the tariff bill
last year, his attitude toward the adj
ministration and his alleged connection
with the Sugar Trust, were more than
most self-respecting Democrats could
stand, and they were weary, besides
of the bossism of this dictator who ruled
his party with a rod Of iron. They
eagerly awaited their chance to rid
themselves of him, and when the pres
ent campaign in Maryland opened they
went to work. But German is as skill
full in politics as he is INSCRIPTIONS,
and when the State convention met in
Baltimore last week a considerable
majority of the delegates composing
it were henchmen of the willy Senator.
Mr.. German set up slate and it went
through. The men who were nomi-
mated for governor and other State Of
fcers were those whom he selected,
and he bossed the whole business Just
as he usually does. He not only fooled
the people generally, but he deliber-
ately betrayed even some who were his
friends in order to accomplish his pur-
poses.
The question now is, shall the Dem
ocrats who oppose the German idea in
politics support the ticket he has
named, or throw their support to an
independent or help electa Republican
The reformers hardly know where they
are at, but it is probable that enough
of them will take the dose, bitter as it
is, to insure the election OF the ticket
that has been named. We think they
ought toswallow their medicine. They
failed to take advantage of their OPP
portunity in the primaries, and if they
didn't do their duty then they ought
not to kick now.
They have another and a better
chance in the next campaign, when a
legislature is to be elected that will
choose Senator Germans successor.
Let the honest Democrats get down to
business and see that men are chosen
for that legislature who will oppose
German and Gormanism to the death.
If they win this fight they will have
accomplished enough. If they fail
then-well, we pity the Maryland De-
mocracy.
