Price had committed an atrocious
murder. He had been arrested by the
officers of the law, given fair trial and
was under sentence of death. Sallie
Dean was murdered on March 26th.
The mystery surrounding tho crime
was sailfully and quickly explored.
According To the original sentence, her
murderer was to have been hung on July
9th. The law was moving expeditiously
in the punishment of Price. It is bat
little more than three months since he
committed his crime.
Although his lawyers had raised
technieality that would have postponed
his execution until the fall, there was
no prospect Of his escaping the penalty
which had been pronounced upon him.
The proof against him was so positive
that new trial, If secured, could only
have resulted in now conviction. Tn
his case there was no indication of A
miscarriage Of justice and no unbearable
delay.
What excuse then can be offered for
the men who presumed ON their own

What change few months have
made in the attitude and prospects of
the national Democracy!
During tho winter months the sky
was dark over head. After years of
struggle the Democracy had at last been
given opportunity to write tariff law.
The task had divided its ranks, and the
tariff law written was far from being all
that had been promised. It was, how
ever, long days journey in tho right
direction.
But the people, in the elections which
followed in the fall, turned with fury
on the Democracy. Evidently they
charged tariff reform with producing
the hardships and misery which they
had endured under the highest protec.
tive tariff ever written. Everything
went Republican.
Thus overwhelmed and beaten, 1t
looked for a few months as if the De-
mocracy had lost Its wits and proposed
to adopt free'silver vagares. That
would have meant final destruction by
driving the whole powerof the business
interests into the Republican party.
Republicans were elated at their pros.
poets and with good cause.
To-day the sky looks very different
over the Democracy. The working of
the new tariff has done wonders for the
people, and they have changed their
opinion right about face on the question
of hard times. They are now under
standing that the better times date from
the day the Democratic tariff became a
law. The hum Of reviving industry,
the cheerful announcements of increased
wages, and the rise in the selling price
OF agricultural staples, are arguments
that the dullest can understand.
The change in regard to the silver
question is as gratifying rs the change
in business conditions. Cleveland led
tae sound money sentiment OF his party
with the courage which has always
marked his course, 1t is courage
which comes from downright faithful.
ness to his convictions of right.
The contest has cleared the air and
maie.it certain that whatever the Re.
publicans may do, the Democracy at
least will stand for sound money. No
one can yet foretell what the Ropub,
licnn party may DO on this issue, for the
fight which The Democracy has behind
it is still ahead Of the Republicans.
With this clearing of tho sky on the
tariff and money questions, has come
restoration of harmony in Democratic
ranks The fractional fighting has broken
out in the opposition party instead.
The longest headed politicians no
longer see certain Republican success
next year. They are talking very dlf.
ferently, and are saying that the prob.
ability now is that the Democrats will
elect the next President Ii Is certainly
marvellous change in situation since
the winter months

Apart from all partisan consideration,
II is really q shame that the Republicans

can party to elect q Senator, and It was
their duty to Delaware to keep her
quota of Senator'S full. There is no
good excuse for the situation in which
they have left things, unless it be the
shameful one that the majority belonged
to Mr.. Addicks because he had bought
1t and paid for 1t. OF course there is force
In that excuse--the force of truth-but ii
Is crying shame that any party should
have to use such an excuse. With all of
their opportunity they elected no Senator.
They make claim in behalf of Colonel
du Pont; but--more's the pity-they
know it is only claim with very little
hope of ever receiving recognition from
the Senate. Al that they brought out of
the deadlock was this claim-a creature
of Mr.. Massey's quick and nimble wit.
They ought to be grateful to Mr.. Massey
for giving them this plaything to amuse
the voters for few months, but it is
pretty hard on gentleman Of Colonel
du Points attainments and standing to
be used in that way. The Republican
managers, however, were in desperate
straits and had to do something or other

tench the truth, and the truth is that II

The GccR Democrat, which is an intel
ligent paper, sums up It's views Of the
situation ~ the following sentence;
The people OF Maryland are satisfied to
law, but they will not stand too much
legal triiiing.
II strikes us that the Democrat is using
broad term ia this connection when 1t
says "the people Of Maryland" The
people of Maryland, were not, we hope,
represented by the mob at Denton.
They were rather represented by the
law which that mob trampled under
foot and defed.
The people of Maryland mako the
laws of Maryland. II they do not want
legal trlfling they can get at the matter
by repeating the laws under which
tritilng occurs. They might prevent
any appeal from the first decision Of
criminal case. They might take away
the Governors power to respite or to
pardon. They might even pass law
which will provide that whenever there
is delay from any cause in the punish
ment Of a criminal on the Eastern Shore
1t shall be the rightof any fifty reputable
men in tho county to enter the Jail and
bang the criminal. Such law would
save kicking down the front doors of
the jails. asf
Plainly the people Of Maryland have
an open door through their Legislature
for the expression OF their will about
the execution Of criminals. 1t is equally
plain that the mob which lynched Price
did SO as enemies of the people of Mary
