BEAT THE BOSS.
ernOr.

Under the above caption, our cotem-
porary the North East star, known and
recognized as a sensible and level-headed
Democratic journal, makes this timely pro-
test against individual dictation in ou'
State politics;
The star believes in democracy, that is
in government, of, by, and for the people,
and for that reason it is strenously opposed
to Gormanstic dictation and bossism.
When a political party becomes so boss
ridden and utterly controlled by ring rule,
that the delegated representatives of the
free, honest and intelligent voters of the
party, who have been sent to convention
instructed to perform certain duties, by an
overwhelming sentiment expressed at the
ballot box, are not allowed to voice the
sentiments of the people who sent them,
but are throttled in exercise of their right
meddling interloper and self constituted
Dictator to the utter Illustration of the will
of the people, then it is time for free men
to break away from such a boss ridden
organization and assert their independence
and their democratic right to govern them
selves as the majority may elect.
The only way to beat the boss is by the
ballot at the election.
The SH believes in positive, not mega
tive opposition, that it is not only to not
vote for, but to vote against what is to be
condemned.
There is no hope for the people from the
Democratic party, so long as it is so COM
pletely dominated by such utterly unscru
pulous, selfish and despotic influence as
governed the late farcical exhibition in
Baltimore, enormously styled the Demo-
cratic State Convention.
The hope and salvation of the party ITSELF
demand that such influences be crushed
out, and there is but one way that it can
be done.
Honest Democrats in Maryland laud to
the skies the free and fearless Republicans
of Pennsylvania, when they turn down in
their State such men and methods there, as
they now denounce here.
Why, if they are honest and sincere in
their condemnation, should they not have
the courage of their convictions and do the
same in Maryland? Is it possible that
Maryland Democrats are less honest, indie
pendent, free and fearless than Pennsyl-
vania Republicans? The Stor cannot be-
lieve it,

POLITICS VS.. POCKETS.

With the prospect OF idle mills and I'M
employed workmen in Cecil county for
some time to come, the hour may be pro-
pitous to consider how politics affect the
pockets of those who depel.d on their daily
labor, and upon whom our Democratic
brethren have endeavored to impress the
beauties and advantages of free trade.
We are enjoying free trade as yet in a
very modified form, the Gorman-Wilson-
Brice bill now in operation being only the
first Democratic step in that direction.
What has been its effect already?
Let the figures representing this coun-
try's foreign trade for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1895, answer.
Compared with the previous year of 1894,
our exports have decreased $50, S07 0i700,
and our imports increased over SIG, 900, 600.
In other words, foreign manufacturers
have been benefited to Just that amount,
at the expense of American manufacturers,
and we as Il Nation, with mills closed and
American workmen idle, are rapidly be
coming debtor Nation.
This condition means, that the excess of
imports over exports must be met in gold.
1t means, that to meet this rapidly in
crcasng indebtedness to foreign nations,
this country is to be deprived of so much
permanent wealth, which is shown by the
increase in recent gold shipments to Europe
to pay for the excess of imports over exports
1t means that the money that is now
going to Europe for the benefit of Euro
pean manufacturers, is just that amount
taken out of the pockets of American work.
men.
1t means prosperous industries in Eng
land, France and Belgium and depressed
industries in the United States
1t means shut downs and idle work
men in America, and busy mills and activ
ity in England.
While Cecil county workingmen arr
standing around anXously looking for
work, they will have ample time to reflect
upon the beauties of free trade
With winter ahead and closed mills, with
empty pockets and no employment they
can appreciate at their fullest, the beauties
Of Democratic free trade.

CITY AND COUNTRY.

Western newspaper bewails the fact
it says it is a fact, and the census reports
appear to confirm it-that in the West, as
in the East, the cities are growing at the
farmers, it says, live on their farms only
until they can afford to live away from
them. Then they move to the nearest
village, and ultimately to the county seat
or some other important place, lease their
farms and employ an agent to collect their
rents. "The absentee landlord and the
middleman, says our authority, ''are as
common here as in ireland, their leases
are more eXacting and tie rent in proper
ton to the value of the land is higher
And there is actually so much of this
sort of thing that more than half the
townships in Illinois and Ohio lost in
population between l-SO and 1890: several
entire counties decreased in population be-
cause they contained no large towns" Yet
we are continually told that farming
doesn't pay" and the air in the neighbor-
hood of political meetings is filled with the
lamentations of the distressed farmer, who
is being crushed beneath load of debt
which government controlled by gold
bugs will not let him discharge at fifty
cents on the dollar. Where do these
Western farmers get the money to retire on
and become capitalists
But as Mr.. kipling is fond of saying, that
is another story. The point to be noted here
is that there is a constant flow from the coun
try to the city, and it may be worth while
to study its causes and consequences. One
cause has been mentioned. Another is the
attractions offered by large communities to
the solitary jewellers in the country, and a
third is the communal tendency of modern
industries, brought on by the use of
machinery. The farmer is about the only
man left who works by himself. Almost
all other trades are carried ON in factories
by teams of men, each of whom has some
small part to do, but none of whom works
for himself. That is what builds up the
cities.
As for the consequences, they are not
likely to be very serious. Somebody will
always work the farms; for they are at the
foundation Of the social system. No farms
no food; no food no life. That equation
proves that the community will always
have farmers, because it cannot get along
without them, and the greater the number
of men in cities, the greater the number of
farmers required to feed them. Thus the
problem solves itself, and the relations of
city and country need excite no alarm, for
they are self adjusting. Therefore, we need
not be apprehensive that the population of
the future will tie itself up in series of
hard knots which the social philosophers
will be unable to untangle.

FOR BOSS OR PEOPLE-WHICH?

Democratic legislative candidates would
do well to understand at the outset of this
campaign that perfect frankncss and
| honesty on the subject of Gormanism is the
best policy from every standpoint. The
great issue i'll this contest is Gormanism,
and the position of legislative candidates
on that issue must he clearly and emphati-
cally defined. 1t will be the height of
impolicy to attempt any other course. 1t
will not add to their strength with machine
voters, and it will not gain them any votes
from the Democratic masses who oppose
Mr. German. The contestants for these
honors cannot do battle for them in masks
or visors. They must throw of all conceal
mrnt and disguise and come out like men
before the people and state frankly and ex-
plicitly whether they are for German or
against him, and whether, if elected. they
will support him or his candidate for the
United States Senate.
1t is not enough simply to say that they
will not vote for the reelection OF Senator
Gibson. 1t is believed by many persons
that the passing of Senator Gibson has al
ready been resolved upon and that when
the proper time comes he will be sent to
join Mr.. Hayes if Mr.. German controls
the Legislature. But this is an immaterial
point.
The people are not fighting Gibson. hut
German. and all that he stands for, as well
as all who stand for him. What legislative
aspirants should do is to tell the people
where they stand in regard to any candi-
date whom Mr.. German may put up.
whether he he Senator Gibson or any other
man who is in line with Mr.. German in
this struggle.
This is the peoples fight, the fight of the
Democratic masses against boss tyranny,
and it will not do to attempt to play any
tricks on them. They are not to be deceived
by diplomatic or halfway talk. They have
heard this sort OF talk from Messrs. German
and Rasin for so long that the men who
resort to it now will he objects of suspicion.
The people have right to demand from
every Democratic candidate for the Legis-
laturc straightforward answers to these ques-
ti"ns: Are you for German or against him?
If elected to the Legislature will you sup
port him or any candidate under his con-
troll or in sympathy with him?
The people can't be fooled this year, and
candidates might as well demonstrate that
they have the courage of their convictions.
Misunderstanding, dodging, carrying water
on both shoulders will not he successful
Every Democratic candidate for the Legis-
lature has got to face the music on this
issue. Every dodger will be set down by
the people "a Il Golman man, because polit-
ical doiging is the badge of all his tribe

have the manhood to tell the people on
what side you are in this strugge-their's

A REPUTATION FROM BALTI-
MORE.

Even the Baltimore NcrS, Democratic
paper, repudates such peanut politics as
used by the cecil Dcmocrm:
The cecil Democrat is getting very much
worked up over the ''negro question" 1t
asks the people of Cecil county this:
How would you like your child to be
compelled to sit alongside II negro at
school?
Just think of it a moment.
Yet are you not aware that the Repub-
leans OF Maryland propose to pass just
such IL law if they ever get control OF the
State?
Isn't it so in every State they do
control?
We have thought of it for more than a
moment, and have come to the conclusion
that the Cecil DcmOcrdt either cares very
little for the truth or else is exceedingly
ignorant. We are not aware that the
Republicans propose to pass just such a
law and it is not true that they do lin
every State they control" - Baltimore

THE party whip will not keep the people
in line this fall. The non-partizan voter
will be in evidence next November.

As Hon. Lloyd Lowndes said, the
struggle in Maryland this year is not so
much upon National issues as it is for local
self-government and good citizenship. The
days of the political dictator are num-
bered and the honest voters of the State
are realizing that one man power in
Maryland isagainst their interests. They've
had enough Gormansm-an from all over

will be up with the Democratic State

Now l've put my foot in it, l never
suspected that they would publish it,
thought the Governor, and he forwith con-
jured up an explanation, by stating in the
morning papers on Thursday, that he was
surprised to see his (supposed) private
utterancesi in the public print
lie could not deny that he had expressed
his political views as they were set forth,
but claimed that the interview had been
made up from several conversations. So it
appears that the Governor likes to talk
over the Democratic situation and express
his views as to the feasibility of Mr.. Hurst's
resigning-but naturally prefers to have
them remain private.
There is no cause for alarm, Governor
your opinions upon the matter are only
those of thousands of Democrats. "The
Jig will be up Unless Something is Done. y
Governor Browns well known remark,
'The people are in the saddle this year," is
having ample veritication.

MR.. MASTERS PART.

One of the strongest fights ever made
Tor nomination in this state was that OF
Mr.. William T. Master for the honor of
heading the Republican ticket. He entered
the lists when the situation was largely
determined by the popular sentiment, and
in spite OF the odds against him, he devel-
oped and sustained a strength which was
astonishing, even to those who knew his
force of character and his ability to win.
The contest he made gave life to the conf
petition, and saved it from the monotony
of unanimity. And it did more than that.
1t placed the name of Mr. Master in the
front ranks of the party, and gave him a
higher position in its counsels and its re-
spect. We congratulate him cordially upon
his showing.
We knew the man when we said this
week that when Mr. Lowndes was nomin-
ated he would have no better or more
enthusiastic supporters than Mr.. Master
and his friends. When Mr.. Malster saw
the situation, he generously Withdrew and
made the choice the one voice of the con.
vention-onc fcrvcnt acclaim for I.owndes
and victory And it was not alone the
success of Mr.. Lowndes. It was also the
hour for Mr.. Master, who stepped aside
for the harmony of the party, and who re-
fused to allow his personal ambitions to
mar in the least degree the enthusiasm of
the hour We honor him for this, and the
party will remember him well in the
future. -.imcricaH.

THE Republican State Convention which
met at Cambridge last Thursday, nom
mated a strong ticket.
Apart from the fact that the candidates
themselves are conceded to be men of
eminent worth and ability, the manner
in which their nomination was brought
about will 90 far towards strengthening
the ticket with the masses.
In marked contrast to the recent Balti-
more farce, the Convention voiced the will
of the Republican citizens throughout the
state.
Whilst spirited contest had been waged
between the Lowndes and Nalster forces
for the coveted honor of being the standard
bearer of the party, it was carried on in a
fair manly spirit of rivalry and when the
adherents of the latter recognized that
their fight was hopeless Mr.. Malster with
drew from the contest in the interest of
harmony and in furtherance of the I'M
doubted sentiment of majority of the
Republican voters and made Mr. Lowndes
nomination unanimous.
Mr.. Lowndes is good man and stands
upon good platform, and in event of his
election, which at this time seems highly
probable, the State has nothing to fear.
