THE BALTIMORE Sun, in referring to
the differences in the democratic party
Of Kentucky, says: Evidently the
views of the people as expressed by the
c invention should be echoed in the
campaign utterances." Why certainly !
And that being SO, for a stronger rea-
son, the views of the people, as ex.
pressed by the convention, in respect
OF the candidates, should also be echoed
in the campaign utterances. But though
the democratic convention of Maryland
expressed itself almost, if not entirely,
as unanimously in favor of Mr.. Hurst
for Governor of that State, the Sun, to
all intents and purposes, advises the
democrats thereof not to echo that ex-
preston, but to vote against him The
Sun is so blinded by its infatuation with
Mr.. Cleveland and its animosity to Mr..
German that it cannot see how to be
consistent.

Four NEW torpedo boats, now almost
completed, have just been named, and
intelligence of that fact and of the
names selected for them has been tele-
graphed to every daily newspaper in
the country. Why such should be the
case, indeed, why they should have
been built, in view of the fact that the
four recently completed, and construct
ed on the same pattern, have been pro-
nounced worthless, and will be sold to
junk dealers, is what only the Navy
Department can tell. But as the peo-
pie are taxed to the extent of millions
for the navy, the money has to be
spent in some way, and probably the
construction of unserviceable torpedo
boats is as good a way as any other.

in New York within the past week.
An Ohio woman, who. through fright,
IA suddenly deprived of speech six
years ago, sought to have it restored by
placing herself under the treatment of
dozens Of the most accomplished ply
sicians in Europe and America. She
spent a fortune in vain, and. to add to
her misery, her husband died while
travelling with her from doctor to doc

while on her way back to her native

TUESDAY EVENING. AUG. 27, 1895.

IT Is understood that the cleveland
democrats" in Kentucky, like those IN
Maryland, are to vote against the regu-
larly aad fairly nominated democratic
ticket in that State. Well, they can
do so, and there is no human power
that can force them to do otherwise.
But did the idea never enter their
heads, or those of the members of their
faction in Maryland, that If the demo-
Gratis to whom the national democratic
ticket in 1892 was Objectionable, had
voted against that ticket, as they pro-
pose doing with their State tickets,
there would be no such faction now as
the s.Cleveland democrats? Ina free
country" there must be parties. And,
to be effective, a party must DO sup
ported by its members. A democrat
who doesn't vote the democratic ticket
should join the republicans, though he
would make a better populist.

THE

Boston has surrendered to an invad.
ing army, and is in the hands of $4,000
knights Templar. These, with the
ladies accompanying them, and the i'm
mense throng of visitors attracted to
the city by the ~conclave and low rail-
road rates, have swelled the city's pop
ulation to such an extent as to cause
one to wonder if all the inhabitants of
greater Boston have been forced inside
the city's limits.
The entire city has donned q holiday
dress, and on every hand flags, banners,
gaily-colored streamers and flashing
lights greet the eye. Immense numbers
of in~candescent lights have been ar
ranged to represent every known Ma
sonic emblem. The Masonic Temple
decorations are, of course, the most
elaborate, the principal feature being q
huge outline cross of colored lights,
covering almost the entire front OF the
building.
The different hotels where the large
Communicates are making their head
quarters have been jammed to the
doors. Each commandery is keeping
open house, and a constant stream Of
humanity in black and gold regalia has
been pouring in and out since early
yesterday morning.
AT the headquarters OF the California
Communicates elaborate preparations
are being made to receive and entertain
guests. California, and San Francisco
In part;cl liar, will out 20 all their efforts

the Parker House are beautifully decor
ated with ported palms and flowers of

and 10000 baskets of California fruit
and %, 900 bottles of wine will be given
away. Golden Gate Cornmandery, also
of San Francisco, are holding open
house at the Columbian Hotel.
The Sir Knights have stretched a
huge banner across Washington street
high above the trolley wires, proclaim

DUELING IN MEXICo.-Although the
Mexican laws forbid duelling, for the
first time in the history of the country
a conviction has been secured. The
sensational trial of Colonel Francisco
Romero, who killed Colonel Veras-
tegui in q duel on August 8 of last year,
was concluded Sunday morning, after
an all night session. The trial lasted
six days, and stirred society owing to
the high standing of the principals and
the seconds. Mexican juries consist of
nine members, and. a majority vote
rules. Romero was convicted on every
count by a vote ranging from five to
nine. The seconds were acquitted.
The Judge sentenced Romero to three
years and four months Imprisonment,
with q fine of 81, 800, or 100 days addi-
tiQnal Imprisonment if preferred.
Romero must also pay $4,000 annual
ly to the widow of Verastegui, in
monthly instalments, for eighteen years,
and the cost of the funeral of Veraste-
gui, amounting to $3.50. The cost of
the trial he is also liable for. Romero
was remanded to the military COM
mandant, since he is an army officer, to
be con6nedi in the military prison in the
City of Mexico. The result ofthe trial
was entirely unexpected, and is the
only topic Of conversation in that city
at present. 1t is believed that General
Diaz will eventually relieve Romero
from Imprisonment, but not from the
~pecuniary penalty.
Yerastegui was head of the stamp
department. Romero is famous as q
duellist, but his conduct since this duel
has cyst him many friends.

the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
