THE latest evidence OF the mercenary
sensationalism of the daily city newspapers
is the keen rivalry between journals claim
ing to be the opponents of morality and
purity, and as such asking admission to
thousands of family circles, to secure for
publication the revolving details of the
criminal career of that merciless murderer
Holmes.
The sickening story is hashed and re-
hashed by columns to satisfy the morbid
cravings of diseased minds, and to crafty
depraved tastes, in leading dailies, embel-
lished with illustrations worthy only a
place in the Police Gazette and the lowest
flash publications.
And what makes this newspaper sin
against society the greater, is the fact, that
Il large part of Holmes alleged confession
is open and conceded falsehood, written ul
to sell, and as respectable news, altogether
upon the level with the lowest and most
prurient trash known as yellow cover
literature
The mass of this matter which has fol-
a few days past, crowded the columns Of
the big particularly their Sunday
editions-is a disgrace to American news
paper literature.

THE NEW ELECTION LAW.

THE following features of the new Flee
ton Law which has been signed by the
Governor are of interest to our readers.
The law provides for new registration
for all the counties and the city of Balti-
more this year.
The Governor is to appoint biennially
three supervisors of election for Baltimore
city and for each county. The county
boards may employ clerk, with the con-
sent Of the county commissioners, at such
compensation as the county commissioners
clerk at 81, 200 a year, and messenger at
$500 year, and such temporary assistants
as may be necessary. The Governor is 10
select the supervisors from four Eames to
he presented to him by the committees of
the two leading parties.
Nominations are made much as hereto
fore. An Independent nomination of a
person to be voted for all over the State
requires five hundred signatures; three

the entire cities of Baltimore, Annapolis,
Hagerstown. Cumberland or Frederick and
two hundred for all other nominations,
At least eight days before the election the
supervisors are to publish the names of all
candidates, as we'll as questions to he voted
upon.
Ballotboxes are to he Of glass, with glass
bottoms. Ballots are to be printed neal ly
as at present, the ticket of the party polling
the largest vote for Governor at the preced-
ing election to be on the left. Each ballot
is to have detachable coupon, upon which
the name OF the voter to whom it is de-
livered is to be written by the Judge of
election holding the ballot who shall also
write in ink his own name or initials on
the back of the ticket. The coupon is to be
detached and strung before the ballot is
deposited. This is device to make sure
that the voter has voted the same ticket he
received, and is not concealing it to carry
outside for use. Each party having
ticket nominated is entitled to have
watcher in the polling-room The ballots
are marked by the voter with pencil in
stead OF the stamp, as heretofore. The de-
tails of election are not widely different
from the present method, except that there
are no ballot clerks, one OF the judges per-
forming that office. No one is entitled to
receive assistance in marking his ballot I'M
less he shall have made oath when he
registered of his inability to read or of
some physical disability, and when as
sistance is given it must be one clerk in the
presence Of the other. Specific rules for
counting the votes are given. A mark
after the emblem carries all the names on
the ticket excepting such as are erased or
such as are opposite names in other columns
after which cross marks may be placed.

WHOEVER the Republican Presidential
Nominee may be at st. Louis, he cannot
stand on better platform than the republi-
cans of Maine put Tom Reed on last
Thursday.
1t has the sturdy Republican Rno
about it.
In declaring his position they used
these words: 'He is opposed to the free
and unlimited coinage OF silver, except by
international agreement, and until such
agreement can be obtained believes the
present gold standard should be maintained.
He has always been uncompromisingly for
the maintenance Of the highest national
credit by the utmost good faith toward the
public creditors, not for the creditors sake,
but for the nations sake; for the sound
reason that the most valuable possession
of any nation in time of war or distress,
next to the courage of its people, is an
honorable reputation"

CONTRACTS FOR ROAD MENDING

As will be seen in our local columns. the
Board of County Commissioners have made
new departure in the method of securing
road repairs, and propose to test the etiic-
iency of the contract system. That large
amounts Of money have heretofore been
comparatively wasted in the character OF
the professed repairs to our public high
ways is patent to everyone.
The County Commissioners now propose
to place this road expenditure beyond par
tizan suspicion, and to put it purely upon
business basis. Proposals will be re-
ceived for the necessary repairs upon the
roads by sections and districts, and the
contracts will be awarded to the lowest
responsible bidder, and the interests of the
taxpayers Of the county are to be pro-
tected by the rigid enforcement of the
terms of the contracts, as to the thorough
ness and character of the repairs.
We feel sure the taxpayers of the county
reciprocate the desire of the Commissioners
to put the repairs of the county highways
upon a purely business basis, and will
without regard to partizan considerations,
aid and support them in their laudable
endeavor to save the monies of the tax.

istration of this important branch of the
