A PLAIN CONTRADICTION.

Our cotempcrary, the cecil Co"afy NcwS,
in its issue this week asserts, in its local
columns that the Democratic Committee
on Appeals after hearing the Cecil county
case, decided that the county ticket nomi-
nated on June 18th, and which row appears
at the head OF our the News columns
was and is the proper and legal ticket and
directs the State Central Committee fol
Cecil county to so modify the call issued
by them, and refused space in the Demo
cratic papers of the county, that it shall
call primary to choose delegates to til,
State Convention merely and not to nomi
nate a county ticket"
And yet, right in the face of tins state.
ment, the .Ncws contradicts its own forced
Interpretation of the comm ttee's decision,
by publishing the rem decision of the com.
mittee, which is in this plain and unmis
taxable language,
BALTIMORE, July |, 1895.
IT, tie state Ccntm CommiHce for cecil
COuHty:
The committee appointed by the State
Central Committee of the Democratic party
to hear and determine appeals, has heard
the testimony and arguments in the matter
of the appeal from Cecil county. and after
IA careful consideration thereof, has come to
the following conclusions:
LIST. without paSsiny upon the merits Of
tie controversy in Cecil county bctcccn Mc
.taciioaS in rcgard to the nomination Of n
ticket for co"nty oficcrS therein, this commit
tee IS Clearly Of the opinion
Instead OF deciding that the local ticket,
nominated on the 4th of June, is, as stated
by the Nems, ''the legal and proper ticket, y
it will be Enthusiastically seen that the COM
mittee decided no such thing, but clearly
refused TO pass upon the merits of the
controversy in Cecil county between the
factions in regard to the nomination of .
ticket for county officers therein
We submit to any intelligent man
whether the committee decided as the
NcwS states it did.

PRICES LYNCHING.

1t is the duty of every reputable journal,
to inculcato by its teachings, respect fol-
law and constituted authority.
While this is the palpable mission OF
intelligent journalism, the manner in
which the law is administered, has also
much to do with the popular respect for
the law itself
The protection Of life and property in
every community is largely dependent
upon the prompt administration of law in
dealing with criminals. II is not only the
certainty of condign punishment that deters
men from the commission of crime, but the
CONVICTION that it will follow speedily.
The fresh disgrace put upon the State by
the lynching of Marshall E. Price, at Den
ton, suggests these reflections
Had justice been allowed to take its
course, Price would have been duly exc
cuted on Friday and the dignity of the law
would have been maintained
AS it is, the people of Caroline county
and when the history of Prices case is con-
sidered, public sentiment all over the State
will sustain their act.
We are sorry to he compelled to make
this admission.
But it is the fact, and we may as well
look the truth squarely in the face.
And the officers of the law themselves are
largely responsible for this unwelcome
Caroline disgrace
This man had committed one of the most
"bolical murders known to our criminal
ahhls. He WAS fairly tried by impartial
!uoge' and there was no question of his
aosoiut'guilt. There was no reason under
'he sun Wy there should be any interior
ehce with Tie regular process of the law,

A DECISION THAT DECIDES NC
THING.

Mr.. Germans Steering" committee met
in Baltimore on Friday, the 2Sth inst,
and, as will be seen. its decision, which is
published in our local columns, practically
decides nothing.
From all reports, the meeting was a
warm one, member of the conference
from Cecil county giving the committee
an impartial review of the history Of the
factional differences of the party in Cecil,
which was not particularly relished by
those to whom it referred
1t will be seen by the committees report
that the merits of the issue between the
Crothers and i-Crothers factions was not
considered by the committee at all, its
prerogative only extending to State mat
tiers, and not embracing any issue relative
to local matters, or the selection of another
local ticket
The amendment of the call for primaries
on the 27th of July, as suggested by the
committee, has been accepted by the State
Committee for the county, so as to make
the calls of the State committee and the
County Committee practically independent,
but which separation of the calls does not
change the determination of the County
Committee, headed by Mr.. Hess, to pro-
coed with the call for another county con-
venton to nominate another county ticket.
AS this was, after all. the real and only
question CT Importance to be decided, the
position Of the anti-Crothers members of
the Committee is practically unchanged,
am the work of nominating another ticket
will 90 on.
In accordance with this plan, the COM
mittees modify their call this week as sug-
gested, and the list of judges selected by
them will, we understand, be published
next week.
In the meantime both bands will play,
and Combine" harmony will he prac-
tically illustrated by two Democratic tick
cts in the Cecil field.
Mr.. German evidently will not have
things all his own way, and Cecil yet may
take its place along side of Allegheny and
Garrett.

EDITOR CECIL WHIG
At the request of II number of Democratic
voters in the Third dstric,, who are very
much dissatisfied with the Democratic ticket
that has been forced upon them by the big
bosses, | wish to say that there are still some
sound-minded men in the Democratic party
in Cecil county. The BOSSES" have had their
day, and we will have ours at the polls in
November If the Republicans will nomin ate
good men. The two men we want to vote
for and elect are Henry VI. Mccullough for
States Attorney and A. q. Brown for Sheriff
There are no better men for either office III u
these two gentlemen. Make no mistake de.
egates, but nominate the men whom the
people want and two Of these are the gem
tIemen whom | have mentioned. Let the
family affair be broken up at the States At
torney's office and at the Jail in Cecil county.

1.-THE MOST UNkINDEST CUT OF
ALL"

AT the session of the Legislature of last
year Senator Sloan, of Allegany, a Rcpub-
lican, offered resolution thanking Mr..
German for his course in the United States
Senate. This resolution the Democratic
Senate declined to adopt, Notwithstanding
an eloquent speech by Mr.. Sloan eulogzing
Mr.. German and his services to protection.
And now the Easton Gdzcitc, the only ne-
publican paper published in Senator Glib
sons county, comes out in an eulogy Of
MIR. Gibson, supplemented by a general
denunciation of all who venture to differ
with him. This is as it should be. No
two men inside of the Republican party
contributed more to the Republican
triumph at the last election than did these
two Senators, and they are entitled to the
thanks of all true Republicans.
The members of the Republican State
Central Committee for Talbot county, how
ever, think it was imprudent in the party
paper to come out for Gibson, and so adj.
dressed to the editor an official communica-
ton advising him of that fact The com.
mittee objects to Mr.. Gibson, not as far as
appears for anything he ever did in the
Senate, but for other reasons. The COM
mittee says:
I'm last week S issue of our paper you
have an editorial not only commencing the
political services of Senator Gibson but
speaking in terms of the severest censure
and ridicule of such newspapers and citi-
zens OF Maryland as presume to criticise
Senator Gibson and his methods. Viii e
the undersigned are willing to concede to
every one the fullest liberty in the expires
sion of their opinions. editOrally or other
wise, yet, as YOU are the editor of the only
Republican paper in Talbot county and
your paper is presumed to be the party
county organ, any political editorial in
your paper, if allowed to pass unchallenged
would be presumed to express, to a grca
extent at least, the sentiments of the
party.
CAS- our county has been the victim of
more stuffed ballot-box and printed ticket
frauds than any other county in the State
and as those who are the most active
perpetrating such frauds and aiding other
corrupt practices at elections are selected as
special objects for political preferment, thus
giving official sanction and encouragement
to such infamy, surely the Republican
party of Talbot has special cause to rejoic,
that the independent elements of our Stat,
are more determined than ever to get rid o.
a one-man boss rule that is more undesir
able than an absolute monarchy
This ia very unkird on the part of the
committee, for is not the laborer worthy o
his hire BALTIC. San.

New York and then to the sea shore for
several weeks rest and recreation. He said
the Michigan Republicans were too smart to
begin the presidential camgaign this year. by
declaring in favor Of any one of the excellent
candidates for the nomination. He said of
the issues of the next campaign: what
sentiment there has been in the Republican
party of Michigan in favor Of the free coinage
of silver at 16 to is growing less, and 1 feel
confident that our state will send delegation
to the National Convention opposed to free
coinage. With an Improvement in the times
less and less prominence will be given to the
free silver question and, think, that by the
time the committee meets it will have little
prominence. The Republican party will be
as greatly in favor of silver as it has been in
the past. although it will not, in my opinion,
countenance the views of the extreme silver
men. 1t will favor using as much silver in
our currency as can be used without causing
a depreciation of the currency. At the recent
Cleveland League Convention there was con-
siderable interest expressed in the tariff
question. and it seems likely that by the
tline lue NhllOHul 'ouNtulioH HeetS THAI
subject will be very prominently before the

THOMAS HENRY HUXLEY.

In the death of Professor Huxley the
world has lsst an original thinker, and one
who has contrib uted largely to the stock Of
material knowledge.
While Darwin was the more distin-
guished writer on the theory of evolution,
Professor Huxley probably did more to
make the world familiar with it. His
belief in the evolution of species led him
into the position in which he is best known
to the Christian world, that of a leading
agnostic, word of his own coming, which
is commonly misapplied to mean an atheist,
whereas Huxley took it from the worship
OF an unknown God" by the Athenians,
and simply held himself in the position of
not affirming that of which he confessed
his ignorance. Nevertheless, his character
istic boldness, influenced by his habits of
scientific investigation, led him to propose
certain practical demonstrations of relig.
ious doctrines, such as his celebrated
prayer test, which Justly gave great offence
to theologians and the religious world
generally.
But although an agnostic, he took Il
deeply sincere interest in religious matters,
and in one of his latest volumes mentioned
the rapid development and remarkable
phenomena Of the Christian church as
problem PROFOUNDLY interesting, ard one
which the study given it during the last
half century warrants the hope of solving
in time.
Herein lay his mistake.
He looked upon religion as problem to
be solved, not as faith to be accepted.
Eut history will forget his faulty the
ology, and remember only his great and
valuable scientific achievements.

OF the citizens of that county peremptorily
demanded that he be speedily executed.
When therefore Baltimore lawyers were
brought into this case, who undertake to
misuse the machinery of the law, to delay
the execution of a just sentence, and by
every device known to the ingenuity of
man, propose to set up series of fimsy
legal theories, purely obstructive in char
acter, and which were plainly opposed to
the judgment and good sense Of our own
local judges, by necessity there was created
in that community a righteous Indignation
that has resulted just as it might have
been expected it would result-in the
lynching of Price.
Much as we may regret such acts Of vo-
lence, subversive as they are Of the public
respect upon which the fabric our courts
rests, there was much to justify this extra
judicial execution, and which every good
citizen of the State hopes may not soon be
repeated in Maryland.

DEMOCRATIC newspapers are now print
ing long lists of manufacturing concerns
that have advanced wages, as evidence that
the Democratic policy has brought prosper
ity. They are careful however, not to
print lists of the concerns which have
reduced wages or gone into bankruptcy
since that policy was adopted. They like
wise ignore the fact that this resumption
of prosperity has occurred since the same
policy was repudiated at the polls. Be
cause camel is able to rise from his knees
with load on his back is no proof that
the load helps him up, and the fact that
the country is not compelled TO lie pros
trate for the whole four years of a Demo
cratic administration is merely proof of its
recuperative energy.
