MARYLAND DEMOCRATS
They Will Sweep the State from
Worcester tn Garrett.

Disappointed and Disguised with
Republican Administration and .egis.
lature, President Bruce, of the State
Senate, leader Of the anti-Gorman
Democrats in the last campaign, is
now urging the union of the party he
was instrumental in dividing and he
is predicting its early return To power.
At supper given by the Maryland
Democratic Editors Association Wed.
nesday night of last week, Mr. Bruce
made caustic attack on the Republi-
cans. Eleven other Democratic Sen
ators, prominent in the councils of the
regular party organization, sat about
the erstwhile leader OF the "Kickers,"
and smiled contentedly as he pitched
into the Republicans. President Bruce
bitterly declared that he did not be-
lieve the Republicans would carry out
a single pledge made during the cam
paign.
Turning to the Democratic stalwarts,
he said that he never felt so much in
sympathy with the Democratic party
as now; that the terms independent
and regular" belonged TO the majority
party and not to the minority, and he
urged an obliteration of all factional
lines and pooling of the forces against
the common enemy.
One OF the Democratic county ed
itors carefully jotted down the words
OF Mr.. Bruce. aud TO u newspaper
friend remarked, after the love-ieast.
that he intended to send copy of the
anti. German leaders significant speech
to the Senator. No better campaign
material is needed, said he, to begin
the tight of 80
b. NJ. Street, editor of the Hartford
Democrat, and president Of the Editors
Association. toasted the Democratic
Senate, which he said was the bulwark
that stood between the State and the
Republican party. Ii was in response
to this toast that Mr.. Bruce made his
significant speech.

bring her back TO health and strength
Most women do not understand their own
bodies, or the things that make them well
or sick. The most frequent cause of sick
ness in women is the cause last looked for
women will go to a doctor when she has
a severe cold, or some acute digestive dis
turbance, but she hesitates and procrasti-
mates when the trouble is with the distinctly
feminine organism. And yet the latter is
infinitely more serious. IL is the most scfi-
ous sickness that any woman can have. II
is the most dreadful the most dangerous
Its consequences are always serious, and
serious right at the beginning because il IS
facilitating. II saps the life and strength
and works on the nerves 10 such an extent
that the whole body is disturbed. Appetite
leaves. the color goes from the face and
hoilows sink into the checks. Irritability
succeeds good temper and fretfulness takes
the place of contentmcut. Little by little
life becomes more and more miserable.
The woman is killing herself with neglect
Just as surely as If she were taking deadly
poison. Perhaps her husband cannot per-
suade her TO go 10 her doctor. because she
naturally breads the inevitable examina-
tons and local treatments" He can per-
suade her, if she needs persuasion, to take
DR.. Rerce's Favorite Prescription. This
truly wonderful medicine has cured hum
dreds of women after the best physicians
have failed. II has been in constant use
and tested every day for so years. II isn't
an experiment, there are no chances about
it, II is a certain and infaliibie cure for
all arrangements peculiar TO women. Those
who care 10 know all about il, and to re-

The all absorbing question is
When are we TO have waterw0rks or
other means of protecting the town
against fire =
We believe every person in Snow
Hill realizes the necessity for better
facilities and apparatus for fighting
fire than we now have, and they are
tired Of being frightened almost to
death every time the alarm Of fire is
sounded. knowing as they do il the
fire gets good Roadway il will des-
troy much valuable property Nearly
every town on the Peninsula has
taken steps to protecl itself against fire
except Snow Hill. The county town
Of Somerset-Princess Anne-did not
wait TO be swept out of existence be-
fore it put in waterworks and a fire
engine, which have already demonstra-
ted their usefulness. Denton, the
shire town Of Caroline was saved
from destruction few weeks since be-
cause the people had shown enough
good business tact to buy fire engine
and settle number of tubular wells
before the fire occurred although the
town is a frame one aud the fire oc-
cured in the very heart of il, yet it
was prevented from spreading.
In May 1894 The people Of Snow
Hill voted for Waterworks, and Snow
Hill would have had them by this
time had il not been for clerical
error made in the Bill passed by the
Legislature, which effected the sale OF
bonds. The matter will he re sub
mitted 10 the people again IN May Of
this year, and il remains for them to
decide whether or not we shall have
waterworks, and ample protection for
the valuable property of this town.

COMING BACK.

In Is apparent to all unbiased and
unprecedented men that there are a
great many Democrats who worked
against their party last year and voted
against il at the polls, who now regret
their act and who know now that the
Republican party cannot be trusted,
and that they made great mistake
in not making their fight within the
party lines instead Of outside. The
utterances OF Senator Bruce at the
Democratic editors banquet at Anna
polls last week shows how he feels
about it and We are pursuaded 10 be
lieve he did not say al he felt. We
believe he thought he was doing right
during the last campaign in boiling
his party, we now believe he sees the
error Of his way and feels that the
people must depend upon the Demo-
cratic party organization for good
government in Maryland. There are
those who went into the fight for the
Republicans because they had been
served again and again by the Democ
racy and were necessarily shelved for
awhile; these have no regrets.
There are those who went in for the
Republicans because they saw an OPP
portuniiy to pay oft an old score
against some Democratics leader who
had done ninety-nine iavors for them.
and because he refused to do the one
hundredth he must be downed. These
have ne regrets.
There are those who were jealous Of
others political preierment and saw an
opportunity to put stumbling blocks in
their further advancement who sank
their much vaunted principles and up
held the banner Of Republicanisn.
These have no regrets.
But there are men who felt they
would be doing the people good to
vote against their own party. who now
realize that they were mistaken that
while they thought they were doing
right, subsequent events prove they
did wrong. They are men Of princi-
pie and they will acknowledge their
error and in the future will no. trust
the Republican party To reform any
thing. Such men will participate in
the primaries of the Democratic party
and endeavor TO put good men to the
front at all times. They now realize
that il was easier to get reform within
the party than outside of it. Such
men will take their places in the rank.
Of the faithful and fight the battles
of the Democracy soon 10 he waged.

THAT part Of the town Of Snow Hill
which escaped damage in the fire Of
1888 was almost totally burned yes
terday morning. Notwithstanding the
terrible losses which the Eastern Shore
has experienced in the last few years
because Of the lack Of fire apparatus
in lis chief towns, Snow Hill still re-
lies upon the bucket brigade The
worth Of an ordinary engine and a
tubular well was amply illustrated a
few weeks ago in Denton, when they
undoubtedly saved that town from des-

MAJOR HANCOCK SAID:
Many Bitter Things About
Lowndes and Wellington.

LOwndes and wellington.
Major A. NJ. Hancock, of Balti-
more town, is staunch Republican
and big man in his village. lie
made big speeches for Lowndes and
Reform during the last Campaign.
He is still making speeches, but they
are not of the same happy tenor as Of
November last The Major made a
speech 10 the Union League of the
20ih ward Of Baltimore, on Monday
night in which he ripped Hooper,
Wellington and Lownles up the back.
In the course of his remarks he said !:
After 80 years battling for supre-
macy, good government and honest
politics il is a source Of deep mortifi-
cation to the Republicans TO find that
those who have secured our best gifts
should betray, deceive and mislead us
before the shouts of victory have died
upon the startled air.
"Alcaeus Hooper accepted the Re-
publican nomination for the office of
Mayor, and was elected:
In his pompous clustering he says
Il am not spokesman and am not
partisan. am independent and al
ways have been. In fact, have voted
straight ticket so seldom that
have often wondered how | was cleo
ted 10 any Office
That is now as much Of conun-
drum to us ms il is To him. Had he
have had the manliness to have made
that declaration at the time he accep-
ted the Republican nomination he
would have saved the $500 he con-
tributed To the Republican campaign
fund, and the people the sorry spec
tacle he now presents.
IF we turn our eyes 10 Annapolis
We behold a picture no less pleasing
The Governor and the Mayor both
have ignored the deserving men in the
Republican party. who needed the
officers, and forced them upon men
who are Of no party service, and Meth
er wanted nor needed them
with brave words the Governor
declared he would no, use the patron
age his office to promote his ambition
or that OF anyone else, and Immediate
" handed the offices over to that prince
Of all political traders Wellington
and that pure and immaculate jurist =
Dave Sloan-to pay off the debts due
to Mudd AMI Dryden for their double
dealing and treachery, and others of
lesser note, but not less venal, who
assisted in electing the duke to the
Senatorship. And now the whining.
whimpering sissy, Lowndes, cries like
woman over that which he failed to
defend as a man.
And these two WORTHLESS, Lowndes
and Wellington. The former wants
TO pose as the 'iavorite son and get
the vote of the state for Vice President
at the St Louis Convention; and the
other to 90 with solid delegation, Of
which he is the head. and they the
board of direators,' that he may ex-
exercise his trading powers in the
national arena, where he promises TO
bag something especially nice for
those he has deceived and BETRAYED.
Will the people condone their betrayal
and treachery by still heaping honors
upon their unworthy heads -
