During the winter of 1898, F. M.
Martin, of Long Reach, West Va, con-
tracted a severe cold which left him with
a cough. In speaking of how he cured it
he says: 81 used several kinds of cough
syrup but found no relief until bought a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
which relieved me almost instantly, and
in short time brought about complete
cure" When troubled with cough or
cold use this remedy and you will not
find it necessary to try several kinds be-
fore you get relief. 1t has been in the
market for over twenty years and con-
stantly grown in favor and popularity.

The latest discovered gold mares
nest is billions of gold in Utah.
The gold is all in the rocks yet and
under ground. The characteristic
part of this new wealth discovery
is. that in onnection with it, a
committee of influential men have
gone to London to obtain capital to
develop the new gold find. Of
course this is all electioneering gold
bug rubbish, but the English which
attaches to it shows where it be-
longs. The metal wouldn't be
worth mining if Americans owned
and "developed" the mines. 1t
must be done by English capital.
These f1unkies and British Toryism
leading the "sound money" "gold
standard" business is enough to
disgust decent Americans. They
are more contemplate than the old
Revolutionary Tories the boys at
school who read American history
are taught to execrate.

The New Election Law.

The News summarizes the cleo
ton law which saves us the trouble,
and with our neighbours permission
we insert as follows:
The official copy of the law has
not been made public yet, but
among the important features are
the following:
Annual registration in Baltimore
city and a new registration in the
counties every eight years, begin
ming in 1896.
The officers of registration are
also the judges of election.
With the exception of the county
and city supervisors all the other
election officers are evenly divided
between the Democratic and Re-
publican parties.
There are two registers, one Dem
ocrat and one Republican, four
judges and two election clerks.
Ballot clerks are not provided for.
A voter must make oath that he
cannot read or write before he can
get assistance, and then two judges
representing each party, help him
to mark his ballot.
In registering voter must de-
clare whether or not he can read or
write, and his answer, together
with other important facts, are all
set out on the poll book. If he can
write be is required to sign his
name and this signature is kept
for comparison in case fraud is sus-
pected at election.
Unreasonable restrictions upon
Independent nomination for var
ious offices is reduced.
Independent candidates, duly
nominated, have the same rights
on the official ballot that are ac-
corded to candidates of regularly
organized parties.
All physical impediments to a
fair election are removed by requir-
ing the use of suitable rooms for
polling places, and watchers and
challengers have the right to wit
ness the counting of ballots within
the rail.

Coxey's "Sound Money" paper
would advance the Peoples Party
cause more if the editor would give
less space in his columns to such
pull backs as Hugo Preyer and
Donahoe's Magazine; and at the
same time gain more favor for the
propaganda of his unique financial
system. Let this sore-head class
who feel out of sorts because the
people refuse to accept them as
leaders, wait till the st, Louis con-
vention lays down the law for the
campaign. There is no more likely
hood of the "silver party" dictat-
ing the platform than there is Of
Coxey's Good Roads and Non
interest Bonds forming one of the
"planks," and such a possibility is
about as remote as any thing in the
future can be. Not that Coxey's

Improvement on present conditions,
but the same object can be reached
by a far more simple, safe and
certain plan.

An important feature of the AS
BONDS AND STOCKS,

insisted on before he would sign
the bill was in regard to
BONDS AND STOCKS.
First-Bonds and stocks not
exempt by the laws of this State
are assessed and taxed according to
a plan devised and suggested by
Mr.. B. F. Newcomer, Of Baltimore.
All bonds and stocks are assessed
at their full market value and upon
that valuation there is to be paid
the full State tax, whatever it may
be Cat present 174 centsl on the
hundred dollars and an additional
tax of 40 cents on the hundred
dollars for local purposes. The tax
for local purposes is to be uniform
over the State, so that the resident
Of the city will not have to pay any
greater tax upon his bonds than the
resident of the counties.
Under this supplemental bill, to
illustrate its operation, q bond as
sessed at 81, 900 will pay a State
tax of .174 and an additional tax
of So for city or county purposes,
as the case may be. The total tax,
therefore, on a 81 900 bond, valued
at par, will be $4.774.
We are not sure that limitation
as above provided for would not be
a wise provision with respect to all
property. Thirty cents isn't half
way, probably not one third the
rate other species of property is
taxed. The wealthy, it is notice
able always own this species of
property, Stocks and Bonds, and it
is characteristic of our delegated
law makers to look out for those
children who are nursed in the lap
of luxury and ease, that the hard
lines of taxation shall not fall upon
their tender persons as they strike
the less fortunate toilers.
The religion of the Salvation
Army which whilom made such a
noise with trombone, clarionet,
tamborine and bugle is rapidly re-
solving itself into an ambition for
leadership among the Booth family.
Like the empire of Alexander the
Great, signs of splitting into many
parts are apparent even before the
death of its great general.
Like the Great Macedonian the
Salvation Army has oyerrun the
world and its generals like his are
already preparing to divide his
empire among them.
The Salvationists started out on
the brotherhood of man as their
bassic principle of action. When
the leaders have grown rich the
fires of ambition, a spontaneous
combustion incident to wealth,
threaten to consume the foundation
of the Army. Thus must it ever
be while wealth is permitted to
curse in place of bless the human
race,

Cecil's Gloucester.

The following proclamation OF
Cecil. county's disgrace and the
peoples powerless condition under
delegated government, is taken
from the Democrat, paper that
believes liquor saloons and race
course gambling are profitable in
situations to society.
Andrew F. Burns, of RoXborough,
Pa, president of the Maryland
Racing Association, came to Elkton
on Thursday and arranged with
President George S. Woolley and
Secretary J. NJ. Tucker, of the
Cecil County Agricultural Society,
for the leasing of that associations
track and grounds for a spring
running meet, commencing on
Saturday, April 18th, and continu-
ing twenty.six days. The price
paid was the same as last year
500 per day. A number of horses
have already arrived, and before
the date of the meeting it is ex-
pected that at least 500 horses will
be here. This meeting promises to
surpass that of last fall, both in a
better class of horses and in atten-
dance. There will be six races here
each day, the purses being $175
each. The Philadelphia, Whining
ton and Baltimore Railroad Com
pany will run two or three special
trains from Philadelphia, and one
from Baltimore each day of the
races. The round trip from Phila
delphia will be 81, with a CORES
pondingly low rate from Baltimore.
The grounds here were not dis
turbed after the close of the races
last year, and are now in readiness
for the meeting.
Arrangements are being COM
pleted for the purchase of about
forty acres of land belonging to the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany, and known as the McKane
farm near Barksdale station on that
road, three miles from Elkton. A
race track, a grand stand and
betting ring will be erected there,
work having been commenced
Thursday on the surveys, and as
soon as it is in readiness, which
will be after the close of the races
here, thirty day meet will be held
there under the auspices of the
same association.

The Arena.

The March Arena introduced it's
readers to Prof. J. Heber Smith, M.
D., who for many years has held an
important chair in the Boston Uni
versity School OF Medicine, the
leading Homeopathic Medical
College in the United States. In
his first paper DIR. Smith discussed
the desirability of disposing of in
fected bodies by Cremation. In
the April Arena, this eminent
educator and scholarly physician of
the Back Bay district of Boston,
opens series of papers on "Man in
His Relation to the Solar System"
as a proper subject for scientific re-
examination. 1t is needless to say
that these papers, coming from the
very citadels of two of the most
conservative professions is bound
to create a sensation. The temper
ate scientific and scholarly "ethods
employed, greatly add to the in
terest, while giving peculiar weight
to the discussion, which indicates
how deeply occultism is taking root
in the most cultured minds of our
time. DR.. Smiths second paper
will appear in the May Arena.
Hon. John Davis concludes his
admirable sketches of Napoleon in
the April number. They occupy
a place in the current political
literature of the present time which
it was very important should be
filled. France has never recovered
from the blight of the monster.
