STATE POLITICS.
The Gubernatorial Weather Vane
Points at No One Place Long
Enough to Give a Pointer.

Politicians find the Governorship
more productive Of gossip and prolific
of interest just now than than any
other topic, says the Baltimore Sunday
Herald:
The Democrats are talking about
Spencer Z. Jones, Thomas G. Hayes,
John Walter Smith, Judge Robinson,
Ex-Judge Fisher and Governor Brown.
Among the Republicans the uames
one hears are those of Ex-Congressmsn
Lloyd Lowndes, William T. Malster
and Charles I. Westcott.
Meanwhile the candidates are doing
little or nothing. Their attitudes now
are quite different from what they
were when the camprign for the nomi
nation began. Then all was snap and
brilliance; now it is dull and lustre.
less. Perhaps the recent unsettled
weather may have had something 10
do with this temporary depression 10
politics, and when summer gets well
established, with a handful of collar
melting days every week, things will
liven up again and the Gubernatoral
bees will resume their buZZing 10 as
many hats as there are candidates.
A strong sentiment exists on the
Eastern Shore in favor of nominating
Col. John Walter Smith for Governor.
de was president of the State Senate
at the lrst session Of tine Legislature,
and made an admirable presiding off
cea-calm, firm and just. His friends
assert that he would be an admirable
candidate To unite the entire party
strength both in the city and 10 the
country. He has large business inter-
ests and is well known in Baltimore as
he is In the counties. Eek Governor
jackson recently expressed the opinion
that he thought that the convention
could not do better than 10 nominate
Colonel Smith for Governor,
Lowndes and Malster are the candi-
dates most heard of among the Repub-
hcans in connection with the Govern.
orshlp. The Master men are confident
that their candidate must win, but the
adherents of Ex- Congressman Lowndes
are equally sure of success when the
convention meets.
But Mr.. Master and his followers
are undaunted by the barve attitude Of
their opponents in the race for the
nomination. The fact that, by COM
bination with the Westcott elements
from the Eastern Shore, they were en-
aoled to send the convention to CAM
bridge instead of to Hagerstown, gives
tnem much satisfaction, so that they
feel pleased with the outlook.

The Pedlment of the Pantheon
Saved by a Lucky Accident.

There is a good story told about a
remarkable head of Bonaparte which
appears in McCyure's complete life If
Napoleon. The head is a copy of the
first plaster cut made for a figure of
Napoleon, which appears in the uedi-
ment of the Pantheon in Paris. II
seems that in the reign of Napoleon
III, the Archbishop of Paris persuaded
the government to destroy the pedi-
ment of the great temple because Vol.
taire appears in it. The order had been
given to execute this piece of yandal.
ism, when Baron Larrey, son of the
chief surgeon to Napoleon I, and him
self ex-military surgeon to Napoleon
III, happening to be with the emperor
at the camp at Chalons, conceived the
noble idea Of trying to save the sculnt-
ures. AT the emperor's table Raron
Larrey adroitly turned the converse.
ton to David, and informed the sover-
eign, to his surprise, that the proudest
effigy of Napoleon was to be seen on
this pediment. Bonaparte. in fact Is
represented as seizing for himself the
crowns distributed by the Fatberland
while the other personages receives
them. On hearing this, Napoleon III
was silent, but the next day the order
was given to respect the pediment
we believe this is the first time that
this cast has been reproduced.

IT is amusing TO listen 10 some of
the Republican missionaries prating
about blOOdy-shirt articles, or finding
fault because the record of their party
Is recalled in order that all may have a
chance to learn what will be done to-
day if power i again entrusted TO this
party. They hope to win this city
through the negro vote, feeling that
they can drive them to the polls like
sheep and force them to vote as they
demand. Only a short time ago test
oaths were administered to the poor
darkey and these oath-bound leagues
robbed every negro of the right that
freenen enjoy, to vote a. they pleased.
Now We find Republican candidates
and leaders buying up the colored
brother with promises to give them
plenty Of work on the corporation The
Republican poor white man is Of no
account, as the darkey brother 50 out
numbers him that they can Oxford to

able to do a they please when Mayor

get in the City Hall. We are glad to
know that there are many honest Re
publicans in this city who have no
idea Of voting for Mr.. Kinks, or for
any one Of the Republican nominees
for aldermen. In National affairs they
are Republicans. In State, and pos.
sibly in county matters, they would
stand by their party, but when the
government of their homes is at stake.
the peace and good order of society is
demanded, then they vote for the Dem
ocratic nominees. This is only because
they believe this is best for the men
and women of Frederick, irrespective
Of party.

Don't Be Gay, Mr.. Kinks.

1t is astonishing to see how readily
the Republican candidate for Mayor
carries out the orders of the little crowd
who nominated him against the pro-
test OF the working element of the Re-
publican party. Who would ever have
supposed to find Mr.. Kinks among
the boys in the bar rooms setting them
up, and punching John and Bill in
the ribs and even being little risky,
just to try and fool the boys and make
them think that he was not real out
and out anti-liquor man. Who ever
saw Mr.. Kinks loafing in saloons be-
fore he was nominated. Surely he
does not think he can fool the bows
now.

ing popular victory for our homes We
do not believe a single Democratic
nominee has made single pledge to
any man as to what he is going to do

no favors to ask, they have no choice
for single office to be filled and hope
only that competent and efficient men
may be selected. We confess, however,
that we do want to see the town 20

But it is violation Of the neutrality
laws, both in letter and spirit, to 90 a
step further than that, and, as in the
case Of Cuba, seek by any means to
aid one foreign power at war with an
other, or TO aid either side Of the same
power engaged in internal conflict. To
permit hostile expedition to be fitted
out anywhere in this country to assist
the Cubans against Spain is fragrant
violation Of the laws Of nations, and for
doing which Spain could hold Us re-
sponsible. A. private individuals We
