long-established organization is almost GER
tain to produce reactionary results. The
legislature of the state, now republican for
the first time In many years, will have,
therefore. a difficult task, and one that can
be safely accomplished only with the exer
else of discretion and careful management.
The republicans Of Maryland will of course
interpret for themselves the instructions
rendered at the ballot box concerning the
reforms essential to the welfare of the state.
But as next-door neighbor. DESTROYS of as
close and friendly and mutually profitable
relations as may be possible, the District
strongly urges % systematic and business
like Improvement of the roads of the state,
the need of which is obvious and undeniable
and C9 better registration law, encourage
ing the settlement in Maryland of desirable
citizens, who will increase the population
and thus add to the states national political
strength, and swell the states agricultural
wealth and taxable resources, and thus con-
tribute to its material prosperity. Men do
ing business in Washington who are attract
ed to Maryland in search of homes and
whose residence within the borders of the
state cannot be anything less than an advan-
tase, should be warmly welcomed Other
states are wise enough to make the citizen
ship laws so easy of compliance that home
seekers with means are attracted in num-
beers, but Maryland. under the influence of
shortsghted bossism and blind partisanship,
has practically closed it's doors to such de-
sirable residents by refusing them the priv
iiege of voting citizenship except under
humiliating and annoying conditions. A
law amendatory of these injurious statutes
should be one of the first acts of the new
legislature. Maryland should greet the in
tending citizen, taxpayer and contributor to
the development of the states resources
with outstretched hand, instead of with
kick.

Powerful Agencies for Reform

Political bosses. relying upon the I'M
doubted strength of the disciplined organ
1zations which render them unquestioning
support, have often sneered at the power
OF the newspapers, but the result of the
fight in Maryland. which terminated yes
terday in Knockout blow to local boss
ism. furnishes additional evidence that the
influence of the press upon public opinion
is powerful, and that there is nothing the
boss has 50 much to dread as its deter
mined opposition. In Baltimore, where the
Gorman-Rasin machine has for years been
In full sway. and where bossism has flour
tshed to an almost unprecedented extent
the campaign this year found the leading
dailies, one always republican and the
other two always democratic steadfastIy
and enthusiastically teaching the lesson of
opposition to the ring and laborng earn
estly for the republican nominees. The
American, the Sun-Called by some in SUP
posed sarcasm but real compliment the
Sunpaper-and the News have for weeks
been hshtinS side by side to show the
danger to the state in continuation of
machine rule, and the hope for reform held
out by the honest efforts of the opposi-
ton. 1t required moral courage of the
highest type in democratic papers like the
Sun and News to attack the party ma
chine because the interests of the state
demanded that course, and to expose them
selves to the flood of partisan utilization
which has been poured upon them The
result Is vindication of their action, a
testimonial of the continued confidence of
their state and city, and a proof of the
power of the press. There are more people
reading the newspapers today than ever
before. and more voters who are able to
understand the reasons for intelligent po-
htical action. and who can appreciate the
issues when they are set forth by an hon.
est, fearless ana unpurchasable press. The
part played by the great papers of Balti-
more in the reform fight that has just
ended successfully cannot be too highly
praised by the friends of good government,
wherever they may be found

A Heavy RespOnsibiIfty.

The victors in Maryland will probably real
ize after the first flush of success has passed
away that the Endorsement of the people of
the state brings with 1t grave responsible
ity In addition to the honor of being entrust-
ed with the affairs of the commonwealth.
To succeed a political ring that has been in
power for many years without successful
opposition is to take office under the most
trying circumstances and there is no time
in the history of party management when
wisdom and caution are so essential The
people who contributed to the result of
yesterdays balloting in Maryland wearied
of the burden placed upon them by the men
who have bossed the state and they sought
relief by electing to office the men who
promised a better administration of the
states affairs. but the voters will be just as
intolerant of a partisan republican machine
as they had become of democratic ma
chine. The republican ticket was chosen
because to majority of the people of the
state democracy meant Gormanism and
0ormanism meant to them an unscrupulous
use Of the public offices to personal, mer-
cenary ends. An injudicious exercise of the
power given to q reform party succeeding a

The Baltimore board of trade the other day
considered the memorial recently sent out
by che Cleveland chamber of commerce
petitioning the two political parties to
shorten the national campaign of 1896 from
the customary six months to about three.
The result was that a similar resolution
was proposed and Immediately adopted
without a voice of dissent, and thus the
voice of reason grows louder. 1t is well
That this movement was inaugurated in
such ample season, for by spring doubtless
every one of the commercial organizations
and similar bodies throughout the country
will have seconded the motion of the Cleve-

situations and associations will have fallen

Good Government ana Good E.amp,.

From the Baltimore Sun.
As this is the hour Of popular triumph
q triumph for which the good men of all
parties worked periodically shoulder to
shoulder-so. TOO. it is the hour of republt-
can responsibility. The people have spoken
not a party-and those who are newly
charged with public duties must remember
and be guided by this fact If they desire
to retain public confidence and support.
They go into office emphatically and pecu-
liarly as the servants Of the whole people.
Their success has been due to the independ-
ence and political self-sacrifice of demo-
cratic voters. Every consideration of
policy, as well as of patriotism, therefore.
demands that they should rise to the height
of the great sentiment which has put the
administration Of this city and state into
their hands. and, setting their faces like
flint against bad influences bad men and
bad methods. give to the people Of Mary
land what they have fought for-good gov
eminent and good official examples.

More Turkish OuLrag-s.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Oct. %. An
other terrible massacre of Armen-
ians, accompanied with robbery
and burning of villages and out
raging of Armenian women by the
Turks, has recently occurred in
the Baiburt district, between
ErZeroum and TrebiZonde. A mob
of 500 armed with rifles, attacked
the villages, shot down the men
and burned the houses. Many
Armenians were tied to stakes and
burned to death. The Turkish
governor sent three policemen to
the scene of the outrage. Armeni-
ans in Gurnusdagh, near Trebi-
zonde, have been attacked and
many killed. Several hundred
were also killed at Erzinjan.

THE PENN TREATY ELM.

To Survive in Lineal Descendant Planted
on the Spot.
Chief Eisenhower of the bureau of
city property lately planted in the Penn
Treaty park, says the Philadelphia
Press, a large shoot from the original
elm tree under which William Penn
made his treaty with the Indians in
1852. The shoot was sent TO Mr.. Eisen-
hover by Gen. Paul A. Oliver, of Laurel
Run, Wlkesbarre, and was planted
in the exact spot where its historical
ancestor flourished for so many gener-
atoms. The treaty elm stood on the
property of Gen. divers grandfather,
Matthew Van Dusen, which has been
converted into the treaty park. When
the tree was blown down in March,
1910, Washington Van Dusen dug up
one of the few suckers that was grow
ing from the roots and planted it on
Gen. divers fathers place at Fort
Hamilton, N. Y. The young tree grew
to an enormous size until 1892, when
Gen. Oliver had it dug up and carefully
removed to his home in Laurel Run. 1t
was so large that three railroad cars
were required to carry it, and when
the railroad companv's officials learned
the history of the tree they refused to
charge for its transportation. When
the tree was transplanted to Laurel
Run it continued to grow, until now its
branches cover an area of many square
yards. About year ago a sucker APP
peared from the root of the tree, and
when it was about four feet high Gen.
Oliver dug it up and shipped it to this
city to take the place of the original
treaty elm.

OuTsUTTED BY A NEGRO.
Disastrous Results to White Man Who

Disastrous Results to n White Man Who
Thought His Head Was Hard.
George Brady, a white man with
more nerve than discretion or common
sense, made bet with Sam Craig, col
ored deck hand at st. Louis, that he
could outbutt him. The stakes we're
fifty cents, and large number of sports
made heavy side bets, odds being on
the negro.
The two combatants stood few
PAGES apart, ducked their heads like
two billy goats, and rushed upon each
other. The conclusion shook the
house.
When Brady came to he was at the
dispensary. He was taken there in an
ambulance. The top of his head had
withstood the jolt without visible sign
of injury, but his nose was broken and
three teeth were gone as the result of
the impact.
DR.. Newcomb put his nose in splint
and sent him home. The negro wasn't
hurt. OF course not.

Holm ss on Trial.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. %. - The
trial of III. H. Holmes, for the MUIR
der Of Benjamin F. PietZell, began
here this morning. His baptismal
name is Herman Mudgett. The
prosecution is determined to secure
his conviction and sentence of
death, and hasten the execution as
much as possible.
A sensation was caused by
Holmes attorneys Withdrawing
from the case today, after unsuc-
eessfully trying to secure a post
ponement. Holmes is therefore
conducting his own case.
