There is always a great revival Of
enthusiasm in the Republican party
during the presidential years, but
this year its early beginning and
deep intensity far exceed anything
of former years,
The Republican party enters into
the coming campaign with every
assurance Of success.
The enthusiasm is by no means
confined to the party workers alone,
but it comes direct from the people.
On every side can be heard the
friends of the different candidates
discussing the situation with the
greatest confidence in the success of
their party, if not of their favorite
candidate, Nearly every one has a
second choice, not far removed in
his estimation from the first. This
enthusiasm has been gathering for
four years and it Is now beginning
to vent itself III the various state
and county conventions. But these
instead Of lessening it's intensity
will only add the more to it.
1t is hard to predict what the
Republican majority will be in No
wember.
This is The result of the peoples
repentance for their endorsement of
such an un-American policy as free
trade four years ago.

Heard in EQUITY,

Yesterday morning in Chambers
Judge Boyd heard argument on the
motion of the attorney for Mr.. Vim.
Pearre to dismiss the petition of
Zelma Loreua Robinson, which was
filed March, 1895, for a rehearing
of the decree Of divorce between the
parties above named.
The petition was filed with the
late Judge Hoffman over year ago
but owing to Ill health, followed
later by death, nothing had been
done with the case.
Counsel for Mr.. Pearre asked the
court to dismiss the petition on the
ground that the matter alleged
therein could not be made the basis
of petition for hearing, but
could only be brought in on an
original bill in equity and further
more, that under rule of court, no
petition for lehearing could be
filed after the decree was thirty days
old.
Judge Boyd has reserved his d.
cision.
Mr.. Pearre was represented by
Benjamin a Richmond, Esq, while
E. H. Cans, Esq, of Baltimore
city and James A. McHenry, Esq,
appeared for Mrs. Roblnson.-Cum-
berland News.

that the towns financial condition

that the towns financial condition
is one truly to be deplored.
In one or two instances we feel
that the citizens of the town have
been imposed upon by the present
administration, whether 1t be Re-
publican, Democratic or "mug-
wump."
They are taxed to keep up the
streets, to have police protection,
etc.
The amount of money expended
on the streets, according to state
ment appearing in the Democrat last
week, was in round numbers, $3.50
This money was uselessless ex

and as for police protection we sim

MaryIand's New Election Law.


BY passing a new election bill the
Maryland Legislature has done a
piece of work which alone will
justify the holding of the present
session. The bill provides for an
entirely new registration through
out the State and for an annual reg
istration in the City of Baltimore.
One Of its terms is unique. Every
person, on registering, is compelled
to state whether or not he can read
and write, and if he can write he
must sign his name on the registra-
ton book. This will aid in identI-
flying voters on ele3tion day, and in
preventing that evasion of the Sc
crecy of the Australian ballot law
which the voter can do by asking fol
assistance in preparing his ballot or
the plea that he could not read
The bill was passed almost exactly
as 1t was drawn by the Reform
League, and its enactment into {
law will be a distinct victory for that
organization. Those who are con.
versant with the way in which cleo
tions have been conducted in Mary.
land, and how much fraud and cor
ruption have attended them, vii
rejoice that new era is to begin.

AMaenitioent Record.

| No legislature in recent years has
made such an enviable record as that
which adjourned last Monday night,
The ost-partisan Democplr:ats, WI
away prejudice, and enable them tc
form just estimate of the BODY,
The Republicans had a large major.
lty in the House, something that
had not occurred for nearly thirty
years, while the Democrats had a
working majority in the Senate.
The members of the House were
nearly all new members, lnexperi-
enced in parliamentary procedure
and legislation. 1t was natural to
expect great confusion and DELAY.
but 1t was surprising how soon thew
set TO work and undertook in earnest
the task they had promised the peo-
pie to perform. They became the
targets for the disparagment and
abuse of the Democratic and so,
called independent press, but they
were in no wise discouraged. They
adhered strictly to their duties, and
have covered theis detractors with
confusion.
Every pledge made to the people
was fulfilled. The Republican
House passed civil service law in
literal conformity to the Cam bridge
platform. That it failed was no
fault Of the Republicans. To say
that the House should have done
more or other than it did is to say
that party must seek success on
one promise, and substitute another
entirely different after success has
been achieved. Such logic would
enable party or legislature to
disregard a pledge whenever it
pleased. The Cambridge platform
called for the referendum, and the
House gave. That platform was
rood enough in November, when
he election was held. Itsuited the
'eople, and they voted for it by an
overwhelming majority. The House
borrower, passed the best election
NV the state has eyer had, and
nally forced n Democratic Senate to
9cede from its partisan objections
nd adopt it. !
This is really remarkable {

ection with the course pursued by 4

Rails for County Roads.

A steel rail tramway for country
roads has been proposed by Mr..
John O'Donnell Il, Of Lowville, N. Y,
formerly State Commissioner, to
facilitate traffic of wagons and other
road vehicles. The rails are about
one-quarter inch thick and five in
ches wide in the tread, with crib OF
fange about one-half inch high on
each side, the fanges also extending
below the flat part of the rail and
being spiked to the longitudinal
timbers upon which the rails rest.
These timbers rest upon cross-ties
on the Sub-grade of the road, and
gravel or broken stone IS filled in
up to the level Of the rails. The
cost Of finished road is estimated at
$4,000 to $4,000 per mile, the latter
being for a good macadamized road.
The timber and steel tramway is es-
timated to cost $500, the balance
being for the paving.

A New Assessment.

land are to be congratulated upon
their good fortune in electing to
power a party that has justified the
trust by the fulfllment of its
pledges. 1t is an object lesson such
as Maryland has not known for more
than quarter Of a century, and it
is an assurance that hereafter a
party must be true to its promises
or must forfeit the support and the
respect of the public. In order to
understand what this means we have
only to recall IN few sentences the
high expectations and the disap-
pointments and the unfaithfulness
of the past ten years.
First, the question Of reassessment
was automatically met by an at
tempt at new Constitution. This
was overwhelmingly defeated. Then
came the two Democratic admins
pass TeassassmeRt tba ifgF nr Sa a 81
Jackson vetoed the bill that came to
HIM, and Governor Brown, after
working the farmer vote for all it
was worth, and getting his Office be-
cause Of this fact, defeated reassess-
ment in both sessions of the legis-
lature during his term of office,
The Democratic record on this
measure has been faithless and
treacherous all the way through.
After more than twenty-five years
OF experience, the party could not
carry out a simple pledge to the
people.
1t was this recreancy which con-
tributed wonderfully to the politi-
cal revolution in Maryland last fall,
and the revolution was so complete
that even the most hopeful of Re-
publicans feared that, with such a
large majority of men new to legis-
lative work, there might be another
ninety days of misfortune, and the
misgivings continued almost to the
very close of the chapter. And yet.
what do we find? The Reassess-
ment bill is passed and signed, and
the hope of years, which the Demo
Gratis continually destroyed, has
been realized IN three months of
Republican government. 1t is a
piece of legislation that, while not
entirely satisfactory, is SO safe intts
operations and in the time of its en- |
forcement that no one can object
to it.
AND the marvel, after all, is that
is fact. that the de-
'pair of years has gwen away to ac-
ual achievement 1t shows that
he Republican party has justified
he trust of the people, that it is a
'arty to be kept in power, in order
hat the will of the voters may be
beyed, The proof of its compe
oncy is in It's record, and that rec {
rd in legislation is the best ever
lade by any legislature in this
rand old commonwealth.

WaltziDr Mice.

You have all heard of "singing mice,
but did you ever hear Of 'waltzing mice?"
II seems that there is family of such lit.
tie creatures in Japan, not one family, of
course. but a regular species, with that
unique characteristic.
These mice are about the same size as
the common kind, but they arc speokled
with white aud black around the head and
neck. They have a habit of whirling
round and round for hoursata time, with
only short stops, perhaps to get breath.
And they whirl in couples too, just as
human beings do, but much more rapidly.
Indeed they go SO fast that they appear to
be little rings of black and white.
1t is said that the "waltzing mania"
soizos them nearly always while they are
running, and even when they are attempt
ing to escape from an enemy they will
suddenly stop running and go to whirling.
There is some reason for this, of course,
as there is for everything in nature, but
we hayo not heard what that reason may
be. 1t certainly is a very inconycnient
trait at times, for it gives the pursuing
enemy good chance to gobble them up
