In another part of the court lives William
Pinckney, q muscular negro, of turgid

the little family in various ways, and often
made threats OF determination. Rosetta

He grasped the little girl threw her to
the wet ground and would have done her
bodily harm had not her mother responded
to the child's cries for succor. The mother
rushed upon Pinckney with fury and
snatched the child from him. Pinckney
picked up a monkey-wrcnch and dealt the
woman crushing blow on the top of
the skull, causing her to reel backwards.
AS she was falling, he struck her above
the left eye, laying bare the skull. The
poor woman fell, bleeding and unconscious
to the muddy roadway which winds before
the shanty.
The son John, seeing his mother fall, at
tackled her assailant and was knocked un-
conscious. Rosetta continued her screams,
which brought to the spot the denizens of
Murray's Bottom, and Pinckney fled in
the darkness. The police were notified
and the mother and son were conveyed
to the Emergency Hospital in the patrol

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1896-11-19

Mr.. Francis NJ. CoX's paper, the
Port Tobacco Times, is the chief
mouthpiece of Senator German, but
it is evident that the shrewd, smooth
gentleman who last fall lost the State
of Maryland from his vest pocket is
not as careful in ''coachingn his faith
full followers and favorite beneficiary
of the Federal Treasury as he should
be. The Times says:
One year ago when the gold aristoc-
racy of Baltimore city first combined
with the $4,000 ignorant, prejudiced
negroes of the State and the few
thousand white men by whom the
latter are controlled, to overthrow i'll
Maryland State government among
the best in the Union, they put for
ward as their excuse that their motive
was to down German and boss rule.
Leading public men in the State and
number of the influential county
papers as well as the Times then
openly charged that their real motive
lay in protecting their millions inves-
ted in stocks and bonds from fair and
just taxation under the thorough-go-
ing assessment bill to the enactment
of which the Democratic party was
by its platform unequiyocally com
mitted.
Bringing forward the reassessment
question is a ridiculous way of win
dicating' Mr.. German and explaining
the revolution against boss rule in
this State Everybody knows that
the issue in the campaign of 1895 was
bossism. The Cambridge platform
pledged the Republican party to a
new and more equitable property
valuation. AS Mr.. Cox says, on the
other hand, the Democratic party was
'unequivocally committed" to the
enactment of a similar law by the
German Rasin convention. But,
while it was expected that the Repub-
Leans would redeem their promise,
neither Mr.. German nor Mr.. Cox, nor
any other man of ordinary intelli-
gence and familiarity with the history
of the dominant ring III Maryland,
believed that the pledge of the Balti-
more convention was meant seriously.
1t was not the first, or the second, or
even the third time, that 1.-The Demo
cratic party was by its platform une-
quivocally committed to the passage
of an assessment act. The purpose of
that declaration in a German Rasin
platform was well understood. The
bosses inserted it to catch votes, and
then gave the gold aristocracy of
Baltimore" its choice of an unjust

a Plea for the South.

Communities which voted that it
would be Just and right to declare by
law that 80 cents worth of silver bull
lion should be taken as the equivalent
of one dollar will not be regarded as
presenting favorable opportunities
for the Investment of capital. The
Baltimore Manufacturers Record,
which is devoted to the development
of Southern industries, makes an
apology for the South, which deserves
consideration. 1t points out that in
the South political action is con-
stantly hampered by the fear of negro
domination. The disposition is to
subordinate every other consideration
to the necessity of maintaining white
ascendency, 1t therefore required an
uncommon degree of moral heroism
| for southern men to break away from
their party i'll order to oppose Bryan
ism. Then, too, they were left to
their own resources. The efforts of
national party organization were con
centrated on the western States. The
sound money men of the south had to
fight the battle almost unaided. The
Record continues:
But hundreds of thousands were
equal to the occasion. Three States,
Maryland, West Virginia and Ken
lucky, were by this display of moral
courage carried for Mckinley, and in
nine other States, Alabama, Florida.
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North
| Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Vir-
ginia, the decrease in the Democratic
vote compared with 1892 was over
$50, 900. Lynchburg, the home of
| Senator Daniel, for years the apostle
of free silver, gave his vote to McKin-
| ley, as did Charleston, s. c.
Such a showing made under adverse
circumstances, the Record contends,
should relieve the south of the dis
credit which rests on Organism. 1t
says:
IF the business people of the north
will study these facts they will see
that the south should receive unstin-
| ted praise for its magnificent work in
| behalf of sound money. They will
see that never before has any section
given greater proof of the moral cour-
age of its people, and in these facts
they will find abundant reasons for
regarding with favor the south as a
| field for investment"
There is justice in this plea. The
south has no natural interest in the
free silver movement, but it is sorely
in need of more elastic and service
able banking system and if its wants
in this respect were supplied the
ground would be cut from under the
free silver movement.
