THE Gables which Messrs. Manly and
Clarkson have prepared with the purpose
of convincing the ant-McKinley men that
they still have chance of defeating Nc,
Kinley at st Louis will not bear the test Of
a critical and impartial analysis.
The estimates run counter, not only tc
the best information concerning the State:
which have already elected delegates, but
in several instances they bear the marks
of gross ''doctoring.'
Every estimate which Manly and Clark
son have made since the opening of the
canvass has failed to be verified by the sub
sequent facts On the other hand, there has
been no estimate made by the Mckinley
men from week to week up to the presen,
time which has not been substantially, and
generally exactly verified by the results.
The Marley Clarkson figures indicate the
hopelessness rather than the hopefulness Of
the men who have fathered them.

A WONDERFUL EXHIBITION.

Although the practical applications of
electricity are comparatively few compared
to what they will be fifty years hence, yet
they are amply sufficient to demonstrate
the fact, that as source of motive power
steam has a mighty rival in this hidden
and occult power known as electricity.
OF all public exhibitions of the develop
ment of this agency, that which opened on
Monday night in New York is at one the
most interesting and wonderful
Chauncey Depew materialized Puck s
Mission by girdlng the world with an
electric message, and Edison and Tesla
those inventive wizards illustrated the
docils obedience of of all manners and
forms of electric agency.
No "wonder book" ever contained any
thing approaching the astounding diver
stiles of surprises that the pressure of a
button will reveal in this wonderful
exhibition.

TO CECIL REPUBLICANS.

Ever since the organization Of the Repub-
lican party in Maryland. the WING has
been the bold and courageous advocate OF
its principles, and the untlinching sup
porter of its candidates.
1t has stood for years solitary and alone,
by the consensus Of public opinion in the
county-the only Republican paper in it.
1t has at times, seen some fruits of its
labors, in the occasional election of Re-
publican candidate in Cecil, and has shared
with its fellow party work ers, the gratifi-
cation of partial victories in the county.
Yet after a long delayed triumph has re-
warded the Republican party in the State,
the WING is unjustly ignored, and the
whole of the party patronage share of
which it is at least fairly entitled is re-
fused it,
The Democrats have divided the State
printing between their two Cecil papers in
good party standing-the Nems and the
Democrat the WING is denied even
this much.
We leave it to the true Republicans of
the county, to find the motive which
inspires this discrimination against the
WING.
1t can easily stand the treatment it has
received, but we shall see if the Republi-
cans Of the county are prepared to approve
this policy in party management, and
whether the cause of Cecil Republicanism
is to be advanced, by such petty exhibit
tons of personal malignity

1t can only get it from new mortgages,
which under the new law, cannot contain
the covenant to pay such income tax.
Therefore the only source of revenue to
the county is the man who lends money on
mortgage, and it is certain that he will not
voluntarily pay this tax, but will indemnify
himself in the shape of a bonus, or addi-
tional rate of interest laid upon the borrower
to meet this income tax
The inevitable result must be, that
mortgages on Real Estate security will be
more difficult to execute, and that too,
without any commensurate increase in the
tax revenue of the county.
Viewed in any light the mortgage in
come tax is business abortion as a revenue
raiser.

May be, also, the Indians, who call whis-
key, brandy, etc "tire- water derive the
word from this same provincial act.
The law was passed in 1888, chapter IL,
and is as follows: "Where the goods Of .
debtor sued. are not sufficient to pay all
his debts within the Province of Mary land
they shall he sold at an cutlery and the pro-
Deeds distributed equally among all the
creditors inhabiting within the province,
except, that the mere and proper debts of
the Lord. Proprietry shall be first satisfied,
and then fees and duties to public officers,
and charges; and that debt due for wines
and hot wates DO not satisfied till all other
debts are paid.

BOLTERS NOT RECOGNIZED.

The Democratic State Central Committee
met in Baltimore, ON Wednesday, and
selected June 10th, as the day for the
assembling Of the State Convention to
select delegates to the Chicago Convention
AS this was the first meeting of the COM
mittee since the State Government passed
into the hands Of the Republicans, more
than usual interest was attached to it,
Senator German self-contained and cool,
was as usual very much in evidence
at the meeting, and controlled its pro-
ceedings with skillful hand. 1t was not
a surprise therefore. that the suggestions of
the independents for the reorganization
of the party should be quietly ignored and
the machinery of the party continued in it's
present hands.
1T is suggested, " said the Senator, that
conferences and compromises should be
attempted in regard to past differences
That Is not only unnecessary, but any
movement looking to arrangements by a
few to the exclusion of the masses of the
voters would rather impair the efficiency
OF the party in such struggle as is impend-
ing between Democrats and Republicans
on national questions.
Besides, there is not involved in this
contest any question az to the advancement
OF any person as IA delegate to the conven-
ton, or as a nominee for Congress- | think
the time is propitous for the selection of
representatives in all of these places who
will fairly represent the party, and give
satisfaction to everybody"
The independents therefore have three
alternatives before them. to fall in line
with the regulars, stay at home on election
day, or vote the Republican ticket.
The result OF the election in November
next, will show which course Of action they
will adopt.

AS will be seen in our news columns,
President Cleveland has issued sweeping
order placing about thirty thousand gov
eminent employees within the operation OF
the Civil service law. There are but few
appointments under the general government
that can now be made outside of the Civil
Service rules. 1t may he seriously ques-
toned whether President Cleveland would
have issued this order, had he been open
ing instead of closing Presidential term
OF office.

JUDGED by his langual e, on his return
to the Senate on Monday, Senator Culloni
was not a careless observer of public senti-
ment in Illinios, on the Presidential ques-
ton.
When he was greeted by the chatting of
his fellow Senators on the failure of his
plan of campaign as an anti-McKinley
strategist he delivered himself of the fol-
lowing 'meaty" observations:
You fellows can have all the fun with
me you want, and if you would like to
know just exactly what has happened tn
me, you go out on your front steps next
winter during blizzard and ask the wind
to stop blowing. The people of this coun-
try have already selected the next Presi-
dent, and nothing will prevent his nomi-
nation and election have found that out
during the last week to my entire satisfac-
ton"

STEAMER COLORADO STRUCK.
The Steamer Badly Damaged in
Collision with n Mud ScOw.

The Steamer Badly Damaged in
Collision with Mud ScOw.
New York, July 1.-THE Mallory line
steamer Colorado, Capt. A. c. Burrows,
from Brunswick Ga, with % passengers
and general cargo, collided with a load
ed mud scow at 3 o'clock this morning
while proceeding up the main channel in
the lower bay on her way to the city. The
steamer was badly damaged about the
bows and began to make water so rapidly
that Capt. Burrows, at once beached her
on the tail of the west bank in p feet of
water. There was much excitement imme-
diately after the collision and the fright
ened passengers fiocked hurriedly to the
deck. They were in no danger, however,
and their fears We're soon over. They were
taken to the city this morning in tugs. The
Colorado, this morning, lies deep in water
and has evidently been considerably dam
aged. Wrecking tugs are at the scene to
render assistance.
The Colorado is resting easy in the
mud, with her main deck submerged. Her
cargo consisted of lumber and perishable
fruits. Divers have made an examina-
ton of her hull, and found a hole in her
starboard, about 20 feet by 90 feet.
