Maryland Walks Proudly Into the Repub-
licau Ranks.
Washington November 6. 6.-There is no
doubt that Maryland has gene Repub
lican by at least 10000, and that Re-
publican United States Senator will
succeed Gibson, who has been merely
another voter for Senator German. The
Washington Post, which has been the
steady supporter of German during the
campaign, doubtless expresses the views
OF the national machine Democrats when
it says: yesterdays elections Eresulted
in the only way that was or could have
been expected by any intelligent observ-
er of events. Since it came into power,
nearly three years ago, the Democratic
party has done nothing to commend it
self to the admiration and confidence Of
the people, and thore 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 Demo-
cratic administration antagonizing and
discrediting Democracy leaders in differ
ent states; interfering in local politics
everywhere, prescribing and prosecuting
nartymen of honorable service and es-
tablishei fealty, and in various other
ways encouraging and aiding the Demo-
cracy's hereditary enemy. How could it
be hoped, much less expected, that an or
ganization thus rent asunder by dissen-
sion and enfeebled by the deliberate acts
of it's appointed chiefs, should prevail
against a compact, harmonious and en-
thusiastio foe? 1t was not expected,
though loyal Democrats may have hoped
against hope, and the result is that
the party has sustained defeat farmore
significant and momentous than even
the popular and passionate rebuke of
1894"

annual report will include some figures
in relation to the rates OF wages and the
cost of living in Maine which are of
especial interest at....this time, as show
ing the degree in which the recent
period of business depression still makes
itself felt. The labor bureau printed
similar statistics severalssyears ago and
the figures gathered this year show that
wages are on an average ten per cent
lower now than then. There has been
a corresponding reduction in living ex-
penses, due to the unecessity of economy.
The report Of the bureau will also in

coast defenses, General Schofield said:
ut Is no secret that the United States
government intends to place defenses on
her coast lines, both on the Atlantic and
Pacific, in such a way that the commerce
of the country will not suffer in case of
war with any foreign nation. The de-
fenses of the Pacific coast are compara-

will be pushed as rapidly forward from
this time as circumstances will permit.
San Francisco harbor, the mouth of the
Columbia river and the entrance to Pu-
get sound / consider the three Important
points on the Pacific coast where bat
terry must be erected and every measure
taken TO protect the commerce and ship
ping interests centered along those lines.
'The situation of Puget Sound is ad-
mirably adapted for shore defenses, and
will as soon as our batteries are put in
working order, be absolutely safe from
attacks Of any foreign feet in case Of
war. Batteries will be erected on Point
Wilson, at the mouth of the straits
of Juan de Fuca, and also on Admiralty
Head, just across on WILDLY Island.
These two shore batteries, with another
on Narrowstone point, just south of Port
Townsend, will serve TO render 1t impos-
sIble for a hostile fleet to come into the
sound through the straits.

as well as those at San Francisco and at

should therefore be employed as one Of

AS a natural result Of the neglect Of
