AN OBJECT LESSON AT CHESA.
PEAkE CITY.

The WIG tells honest Democrats in
Cecil county, of whom there are plenty,
men as clean in their politics as in their
business, but who are no less attached to
the principles and doctrines of their party,
that Democratic organization, neither in
State nor county, is worth preserving when
the men who control it resort to the dis
honest tricks of machine" politics to win
what they falsely call Democratic victories.
There are Democratic managers, it seems,
in this county who have not yet learned
that dishonored victory is more damaging
to the victors than an honorable defeat.
Chesapeake City furnishes the latest
illustration of this truth.
Last week the ''rng" managers there, to
the very great injury of the town, decided
to drag partizan politics into the municipal
election, simply because an acceptable and
faithful town bailitf happened to be a
Republican, and whom they determined to
down.

the polls, because Mr.. Vanbuskrll had a
strong backing of the best citizens of the
town, irrespective of politics.
As usual with the 'ring' managers,
money was resorted to, and enough mig
GER votes-as one Democratic manager
termed them-were bought to pull their
candidate through by the narrow majority
OF five votes, and ut for which purchased
votes they would nave been ingnominiously
beaten.
This is timely and effective lesson in
machine" politics. which decent people
in Cecil county will read Alright
The corrupt use of money at the polls is
as certainly destroying the Democratic
party of Maryland as it destroyed it in
New York, and which will destroy any
party, either Democrat or Republican,
that practices or toerates it,

THE DELAWARE DISGRACE.

The lame and impotent conclusion to the
unseemly struggle of tine Republicans of
Delaware over the election of a United
States Senator, is notifying object lesson
to every sincere Republican in the country.
The announcement that Delaware had
gore Republican was naturally one of the
special congratulations of the great polti-
cal contest of 1894.
For years the people of that State had
been held in subservient bondage for the
political uses of few families of promi-
nence, whose individual right to rule
seemingly assumed the shape of kingly
prerogative.
For generations of these families, the
organic and statutory law had been framed
seemingly to suit the aspirations and
ambitions of the gentlemen "born to rule. -"
The common people had no political
rights these historic families were bound
to respect.
with Senatorial representation at Washing
ton equal to the great Empire States OF the
Union. became the pocket boroughs OF this
privileged class, whose individual political
records became the record of the State
itself.
1t was therefore a marked triumph of
free popular government when the heredi-
tary leaders of fosslized Bourbonism
were defeated at the polls and the promise
OF a better political era dawned on Della
ware.
Plainly there was but one way for the
Republicans to justify the public con-
iidence which their accession to power
imposed upon them, ria: to show them
selves worthy opponents Of Republican
principles and deserving public servants.
How they have failed to do this, is writ
ten in the mercenary story of Mr.. Addicks
and his henchmen, whose whole record is
written over with the suspicion of corrup-
ton, and blackened by the faint of political
debauchery
If the Republican party of Delaware is
to have future it must be rid of the men
whose open treason to the principles they
profess has brought ineffacable disgrace
upon their State.
There can be no room in any honest
Republican organization in Delaware for
the men who have just brought their
party into public contempt.
The situation will be a test of the char.
acter and morality of Delaware Republic
canism.
If Delaware Republicans of intelligence
and honesty do not rid themselves of the
men who have disgraccd them, they will
fully merit the humiliation they have
themselves suffered, and which their I'M
worthy party associates have laced upon
Republicans everywhere

the opposition to the Gorman-Rasin ma
chine is represented in a large measure by
apathy. Instead of going to the primaries
and giving their support to some plan of
party reform, thousands Of Democrats are
too much disguised with the condition of
affairs, or too skeptical of the feasibility of
accomplishing any change, to take an active
part in Democratic affairs.
The success of the Democratic ticket this
fall depends upon a general awakening
among those Democrats who are true to the
principles of the party-the Cleveland
Democrats of the State. If the spirit which
was shown in Anne Arundel pervades the
whole State, the outlook from a party
standpoint is anything but bright, because
it means that the Gorman-Rasin machine
will nominate in July tickets which cannot
be elected in November Balto. NeWs.

CRITICISM NOT ALLOWED.

The report comes from Washington that
Admiral Meade 'shall be held strictly to
account for crticising the administration.
In other words the admiral is to e court
martialed for breach of discipline in
crjticising the un-American policy of Sec.
RETRY Gresham.
The offence of the Admiral is, that hav
ing made application to he placed on tn.
retired list, and having been asked by a
reporter of a New York newspaper whether
i'll health was his motive for resgning, he
disclaimed any such thought and declared
that he wanted to get out of the Navy,
solely because he was not in sympathy
with the anti-American policy of the adj
minstration.
His exact language as reported was as
follows:
MY ideas are not in accordance with those
OF this administration. | am just as much
Disguised with it nS the people at large in this
country are, and | preferred to quit rather
than continue my connection with it. am
an American and Il Union man. Those are
two things that this administration cannot
stand"
Now the fact is, that this language of
Admiral Meade, while not uttered officially,
or indeed intended for publication, en-
presses the feelings of the great majority of
his countrymen. 1t is, no doubt, in
accord with the private views of most of
the officers of the navy who are on active
duty, and who are under the bureaucratic
influence at Washington.
In view of the temper of the country on
the foreign policy of the administration, it
would have been wise if it had quietly
taken measures to allow Meade to retire in
accordance with his request. TO put him
under trial before court martial is more
than likely to make "A martyr of him. The
prompt zeal to punish an officer of brilliant
and honorable career for an indiscreet
remark inspired by an intense American
sentiment is in striking contrast with the
shuiling and trucking Of the administla-
ton on vital questions affecting the good
name of the country. If Meade has com
mitted an offense in crticising the policy
of his superiors, he will have the sympathy
of the country with him in his transgres-
sion. 1t may have been improper, but the
provocation was great.

WELCOME AMERICANISM.

/ In grateful contrast with the turnkey
twitter which Mr.. Ambassador Bayard has
been sending us from London, is the stall
wart Amtricanism, and the stirring admo-
milton with which the Hon. Don NJ. Dick
inson electrified his audience at Detroit,
last week.
1t is the kind of talk for which true
Americans have of late been hungering
1t is hopeful
1t is inspiring!
1t makes us feel that we have country
of our own once more, and national stand
ards, national policies, national aspirations
that we as a people cherish.
Besides, the source from which it comes
renders it more timely.
Mr.. Dickinson has been heretofore one
of the administrations most devoted ad-
herents, but its policy on foreign affairs is
more than even he can stomach.
The manifest disposition at Washington,
to concede to the British Government the
benefit of the doubt in every inter national
question that has recently arisen between
this country and Great Britain, partcu-
larly in the Nicalaguan dispute, has excited
Mr.. Dickinson's Indignation as it has that
of every other patriotic American.
Mr.. Dickinson, unlike Mr.. Bayard, Mr..
Wilson and the other sentimentalists who
have recently sprung up in the Democratic
party, protests against the assumption that
war with Great Britain is no longer a pos
sibility in this age of amity and civilization.
He very properly charactcrizes this kind of
talk as 'poiite phrasing and post prandial
eXuberance.' 1t may do for after-dinner
speeches and diplomatic etiquette; but a
wise nation should not allow its vigilance
to be lulled by empty phrases.
The character and the purposes of Great
Britain do not agree with its after-dinner
e1oqueDce. There is no sentiment in
British policy. 1t is ever aggressive, cum
ming and far-sighted.
/ The policy of the Cleveland adminstra-
/ ton has been that of acquiescence and
submission and of humble desire to keep
the peace. In this respect it has been the
most docle in our history. Beginning
with the abandonment of Hawaii down to
/ its supineness in witnessing the British
invasion at Cornto, it has yet to utter IL
strong and positive American expression.
/ The result is that Mr.. Cleveland is lauded
in the British press as no other President
/ has ever been, as a wise and true states
man. He is not "demagogue' or a
lingo" or Il ''narrow-minded politician, !"
as Benjamin Harrison was.
American politics in the future will be
1 largely occupied with this question of
resisting British aggression. There has
been sense of humiliation throughout
the country over the indifference of the
Cleveland administration, and it is by no
means confined to the Republican party.
Mr.. Dickinson's speech is a notable evid-
ence of this. The recent speech of Mr..
Eustis, our Ambassador at Paris, was not
less remarkable. The next Congress will
be likely to be heard from in no uncertain
tone in calling a halt on any further sur
render Of American interests to our heredi-
taIy enemy. There should be such an
affirmation Of the Monroe doctrine as will

A MACHINE VICTORY.

1t was perhaps shrewd thing for Mr.
German and his friends to choose Anne
Arundel as the scene of the first primary of
the campaign Of this year, OF all the
counties in the State that IS the one most
amenable to machine control. But, while
the victory Of the combine there may be
said to have been fOregone conclusion,
TIE result conveys warning to those
Democrats who desire to see their party
freed ftom boss control by action within
the party, rather than through defeat at
TIE general election.
We do not think that even in Anne
Arundel majority of the Democrats are
in sympathy with the machine, but it is
evident from Saturdays result that it con-
trolls a majority of those who take enough
interest in politics to attend a primary.
Unfortunately for Democratic prospects,

THE following pen picture OF political
"Boss" is drawn by the Maryland Jomndi:
"Thc boss is the man who cares nothing
for his party principles and even less for
all men who refuse to wear his collar. He
manipulates primaries and conventions for
the single purpose of keeping himself and
his few devoted followers in office. He is
party man for revenue only, and be-
lieves that calling himself by the party
name and always supporting the ticket he
puts up make him so good party man
that his views and opinions must out weigh
all other lie believes in rotation in office,
but the rotation must always be amongst
his blind followers, and it cannot be too
frequent among the big bosses who
usually rotate from one good Office to a
better oue.n
The picture is a correct one, and the peo-
pie Of Maryland irrespective of party, pro
pose to get rid of his domineering influence.
