WHAT will become of the vast brigade of
Democratic oilice-holders in Maryland?
That is a serious question for them

THERE soon will be heard the rattling of
dry-bones among the hordes of Ring
office holders, who for years have battened
in some soft place.
For the old and feeble ones, who have
passed the period OF their lives, when they
can take up efficiently some other means of
livelihood we feel sympathy and compassion
But we feel no sympathy for the lusty
heelers who revel at the public crib.
On this subject the Baltimore Sun says:
1.-The people who have held office so long
that they have gradually come to consider
the offices theirs by species OF ''divine
right or, at least, an indefensble title,
will soon find themselves compelled to go
out into the cold world and seek living
like their less fortunate fellows who have
not enjoyed the favor OF protection of the
Democratic Ring. In individual cases
the experience may be a sad one, but for
the public at large and for the rising gener-
alton, for the young men of the State, the
lesson is wholesome one. 1t teaches that
public Office is not private peIquisite, but
a public trust. 1t teaches that it is no
man s right to hold Office and be supported
indefinitely at the expense Of the public,
and above all, that if there is to be any
long continuance in Office, it is not by the
tenure OF party service, but on the score Of
merit and of public services faithfully per-
formed.

THE MEANING OF THE ELEC-
TONS.

Tuesdays elections resulted in the only
way that was or could have been expected
by any intelligent observer of events. Since
it came into power, nearly three years ago,
the Democratic party has done moth
ing to commend itself to the admiration
and confidence of the people, and there was
no reason why the people should at this
stage of affairs, withhold the expression of
their distrust and discomfort They have
had the spectacle of a Democratic admins
tration antagoniZing and dscrediting
Democratic leaders in different States,
interfering in local politics every where,
prescribing and prosecuting party men of
honorable service and established fealty,
and in various other ways encouraging and
aiding the Democracy's hereditary enemy
How could it be hoped, much less expected,
that an organization thus rent asunder bv
dissension and enfeebled by the deliberate
acts of its appointed chiefs should prevail
against compact, harmonious and enthus-
iastlc foe? 1t was not expected, though
loyal Democrats may have hoped against
hope, and the result is that the party has
sustained a defeat far more significant and
momentous than even the popular and
passionate rebuke of 1894.
As we explained, day or two ago, the
outcome in New York, Maryland, and
Kentucky carries with it special and
peculiar significance In those three States
at least the contamination is, directly and
Enthusiastically, the fruit of party treachcry
and folly. All three Of them are Demo-
cratic under normal conditions Maryland
and Kentucky being Democratic always in
default of some extraordinary and pine
nomenal upheaval of resentment and dis
gust. Every one of those States should
have gone Democratic this year and would
have done so under intelligent direction
and loyal leadership. The fact that in all
OF them there was movement against the
party ticket directed by men who spoke or
pretended to speak for the administration
leaves nothing to he explained The SIMS.
ter and fatal conditions set up by Demo
cratic inetficiency in government were sup
plemented by intestine discords and petty
animosities The outcome was anticipated
by every thoughtful student of political
evolution. - Washington Post.

THE RESULT IN CECIL.

As will be seen by the official returns
published in another column, the voters of
this county, have given plurality of four
votes for Mr.. Lowndes, plurality of one
hundred and siXtythree for Mr.. Clabaugh,
but given plurality of thirty one against
Mr.. Graham and in favor of his Democratic
opponent, Mr.. Smith.
The plurality given for Mr.. Clabaugl
can be easily explained by the fact, that
Mr.. Crothers of this county was his com
petitor, and Democratic voters cut Mr..
Crothers for the benefit of Mr.. Clabaugh,
but otherwise voted the Democratic State
ticket.
The plurality of thirty given Mr. Smith
over Mr.. Graham, is explained by the fact,
that number of democratic voters, cast
their ballots for Mr.. Smith only voting for
some one or two candidates on the county
ticket, but cutting both Mr.. Hurst and Mr..
Crothers.
While the loss of the balance Of the ticket
Except the House of Delegates by so mar.
row majority is of course a matter OF
general regret upon the part of Republi-
cans, the election of Messrs. Smith, Logan
and White is matter of very general con-
graduation particularly in view of the
special and persistent "set" made at Mr..
Smith by the Democratic papers of the
county The Intellectual attempt to have
the other candidates ON the Republican
ticket believe, that Mr.. Smith was working
solely for himself, and was indifferent to
the success of the other Legislative candi-
dates, is etfectually answered by the even
ness Of the vote cast for all of them.
The surprise of the result on Tuesday
comes from the Second district, where a
Democratic majority is returned, nearly
one hundred higher, than the highest Dem
ocratic estimate made for the district.

the Governor, in effecting every needed
reform in the State.
For present purposes it may be sufficient
to say, that recent legislation, relative to
Cecil, prompted by factional motives and
effected largely for personal ends, can
be and doubtless will be carefully over
hauled and considered.
fractional Democratic disagleements in
Cecil have had too much to do re-
Gently in the local legislation for this
county. Men have been legislated into
Office, the official emoluments Of this officer
or that have been effected by legislation
purely Of personal and spiteful character,
and the wmaking power has been I'M
hesitatingly evoked, as means Of settling
factional differences, or furnishing partizan
associates.
Along this line of partizan legislation for
Cecil, there will be ample opportunity for
Republican investigation and action.
In the wider field of State administration,
our State school system, State election
laws, and other matters of equal public
Importance will doubtless he the subjects
of early legislative action.
Not the least important public benefit to
be looked for at Annapolis, will be the
"breaking up' of the infamous ''lobby" OF
third house, which for generation past
has levied it's unrighteous "toll" upon leg
islation, and which has proved so rich Il

liam Jackson was then intro
duced As orator Of the day,
and it proved one of the distin-
guished citizens most eloquent and
patriotic efforts. Devoted as it
was to the topic to the father of the
republic, whose memory was SO
handsomely honored, the speaker
drew from the noble life inspiring
lessons applicable to our every day
life, the incubation of moral and re-
ligious principles in the youthful
mind, from which were bound to
spring useful, honorsb bile and patriotic
lives. The most Of Washington's ca
reer was know to history. His pub
lie services in war and in state were
known. 1t would serve no good
purpose to recall them. but
it was certain of his acts that re-

the man representing those principles
which were worthy of emulation.
The farewell address of the first
president before retiring from the
chief magistracy of the nation he had
founded was taken up aud from it
were drawn the duties the citizens of
today owe to the republic. The diff

was brought out. Every citizen

for that purpose. To obey laws until
they are. abolished-that is, the re.

Japan Holds Her Own.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-In an official cable dispatch to the Japanese legation 1t is said that final and satisfactory agree ment has been reached by Japan with the European powers on the eastern question. This was to follow the recent settlement with China. It Is regarded as closing the entiro subject. It isalso regarded as mak- ing negative the unofficial statements of Russian jingo newspapers that Russia would claim a protoctorate over Korea. which never were seriously entertained in diplomatic circles hore.
 No such purpose has ever been suggest ed in the official correspondence thus far. China assertion of q protectorate over Korea led to the recent war, so that 1t Is not likely that Japan would regard a sim ilar claim by Russia with indifference. Another report. coming from Frankfort. that Russias claim on Korea was for the purpose of protecting Russian merchants against Japanese competition is known to be erroneous by those familiar with the facts. A diplomat recently At Seoul. the capital of Korea, says there is only one Russian-a carpenter-in Korea outside of tho legation.
