Lowndes a Failure.


From the Baltimore American.
II must be apparent, even TO the Governor that
he has not measured up to the public expectations
since he became the chief executive of Maryland.
No man ever went into the Office under more for
tunate promising auspices. He received
the largest vote in the states history. The best
citizens had cut loose from old political ties and
prejudices and had given their open efforts and
their votes to Mr. Lowndes in the belief that he
would measure up to every promise, and lead the
reform forces of Maryland to solid results. Even
if the legislature should fail these men argued
Governor Lowndes would be true to the best inter
ests and the highest purposes of the people No
keener illustration of the general disappointment
could be presented than the sentiment which is
heard daily that if Mr. Lowndes were to run for
governor again he would be disastrously defeated.
The strength of character the leadership the states
manship which Maryland looked for have failed to
materialize. When he handed over to Wellington
the whole patronage of the state in order that he
might ride over law and precedent into the United
States Senate. the fall in public esteem was the
most Iamentable we have ever known in Maryland
politics From Wellington such thinge were to be
ex peeted because he is politician of the practical
and promising kind, but from Mr.. Lowndes the
people did expect, and had the right TO expect, an
entirely different course of action.

Ambassador nayard censured.

After long debate, which was partisan and
sharp, the House of Representatives on Sat
urday last, by nearly strict party vote, passed
o resolution censuring Hon. Thomas !. Bay
ard. Ambassadorto England, for words uttered
IN speeches in Edinburg, Scotland, and Bos'
ton, England, Mr.. Bayard was speaking of
the policy of taxation and what Protection
had done in this country. Here is the lang
uage ascribed 10 Mr.. Bayard, upon which the
Committee on Foreign Affairs framed the
resolution of censqre;
I'm my own country have witnessed the insati.
able growth of that form of State socialism styled
protection which believe has done more to fus=
ter class legislation and create inequality offortnne,
TO corrupt public life, to Danish men ofindependent
mind and character from the public councils, TO
lower the tone of national representation. blunt
public conscience, create false standards IN the
popular mind, divorce ethics from politics anu
place politics upon the low level of mercenary
Scramble than any other single cause. 1t has un-
hesitatingly allied itself with every policy which
tends to commercial isolation, dangerously depletes
the treasury and saps the popular conscience by
schemes OF corruptng favor and largesse TO special
classes, whose support Is thereby attrncted. Thus
1t has done much to throw legislation into the
political market where jobbers and chaiierers take
the place OF statesmen
Most people in this country heartily agree
with Ambassador Bayard. They remember
how Samuel j. Randall was keptin Congress
from the Protection city, of Philadelphia,
because as Democrat, believing in Protee-
ton, it was thought he could be of more use
TO the protected interests in Democratic
House of Representatives than Republican.
They remember how the protected interests,
by wholesale bribery, defeated William r.
Morrison, of Illinois, after his effort at tariff
revision and reduction. They remember the
attempt to defeat Mr. Carlisle in Kentucky,
and the overthrow of Mr.. William l.. Wilson
in West Virginia.
Every word Mr.. Bayard uttered was true,
and as the vote of censure was almost strictly
party one, its effect will be regarded as an
ebuliton of party spleen.

SATURDAY, MARCH %, 1896.
The Park Bill.

The Baltimore park tax bill has been with
drawn from the Legislature, because of the
opposition aroused by the misrepresentation
by part of the Baltimore press. The street
railroad companies wanted to be relieved of
the park tax of nine per cent. of their gross
receipts in the annexed districts of Baltimore
until 1900 and then to have the tax fixed at
per cent. of the gross receipts. When 1t IS
considered that the roads, or some of them,
are taxed at the rate Of over $50, 600 a mile on
their road beds and have to keep up the streets
between the rails and for two feet on each
side of the track; that the carts and wagons
use the tracks and wear them quite as much
as the cars do: and that nine per cent ofgross
receipts is equivalent to fully twenty per cent.
of the net receipts, it would appear that the
roads have pretty heavy burden TO bear.
And when it is further remembered that the
city has spent little or no money on the streets
in the annex; that the railways have purchased
the right Of way in some instances, at least,
from turnpike companies; that the travel at
present is not large and that the railways are
pioneers in building up the suburbs, it Is not
wise to hamper them by too heavy taxation.
At this distance it appears that the ontcry
against the bill was senseless, and if such spirit
is kept up by misrepresentation capital will
he timid in seeking investment in the Monu-
mental City. The same press that would
plumber the railways and get up senseless
cry against corporations, are very much
afraid that just assessment bill will drive away
capital. The park tax bears only hard on the
capital of outsiders invested in the railways
A lust assessment bill would strike the tax
lodging proprietors of some of the press,
bence the difference.
The outcry against the park tax exemption
is akin to the senseess opposition aroused in
1890 by the Baltimore press against the gas
monopoly bill. Had the bill been passed
Baltimore would have been assured gas as
cheap as Boston, New York or Washington,
and the city would have realized some thirty
or Forty thousand dollars annually, with the
privilege Of buying the gas plant at the end
of twelve wears, If deemed advisable. But
the cutlery raised, the long petitions obtained,
IN some instances by giving every signer 4
drink. sufficed to defeat the measure, and
what is the result? The gas company has
had lis natural monopoly for six years and is
assured of it for at least two years longer, aud
the city in the eight years will have been de-
prived of at least quarter of a million dol
lars.
Several Of the Baltimore papers are detri-
nent to the progress of the city. They seem
Ia be opposed to every movement for its
advancement, and their latest performance
was The killing of the Centennial Exposition.

Chandler on Mckinley.

Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, in an in
terview with New York Times reporter, said
81 was very cautious in speaking about Mckinley,
but it certainly does seem to me that he is in the
hands of INSCRIPTIONS managers. They say that
this year the republicans can elect yellow dog if
we nominate one. At the same time, look at the
situation If Mckinley is nominated, we shall
have to meet the charge that fried the fat out of
the manufacturers in the last campaign; that he
fried the fat out of them again to his nomi-
nation that he is continuing to fry the fat to buy
his election and result he will pay his political
debts with high-tariff bill framed solely in the
interests of the manufacturers. With such charges
as these to meet the stump, the campaign on the
part of the republicans will be defensive instead of
ofhnsiver

wellington May Not Be Senator.

Standardized Wellington may not be United
States Senator after all. His case has been
discussed privately at Washington by num-
Der of newspapers, and it is quite certain that
objection to his admission will be raised.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, Republican
paper, in an editorial on Wednesday, COM
inents on the incompetent leadership of
the Maryland Republicans, and says;
As for Wellington himself word comes from Wash
tngton that the point will be raised against him in
the Senate that he is ineligible under the laws Of
Maryland and that an inquiry will be set on foot
looking into the methods Of his election The Re
publicans Of Maryland, like the Republicans OF
Delaware, stand fair chance OF losing the STATE $
vote in the Senate owing entirely to incompetent
local leadership. The law cannot be defed, irregu
laries be committed and matters left lying loose
ends without having the situation taken advantage
of by political opponents
Should Wellington not be admitted Mary
land will have but one representative in the
Senate from March 4, 1897 until one is elect
ed by the Legislature in the winter 1898.

As Was Expected.

The Baltimore Sun and Nescs are both
fighting the assessment bill. as was expected.
Both are opposed 10 any assessment law that
will tax the wealth of the State. Both OPP
posed the Democratic party last fall, because
the party was determined to pass a fair ass
essment bill. They believed Lowndes would
veto a just bill, hence they espoused his cause,
the cry of bossism being adopted to deceive
the people. They knew that the Allegany
Ring-Sloan, Wellington and Lowndes-was
far more dictatorial and overbearing than any
that ever existed in the Democratic party.
And whatever the abuses of the Democratic
it cannot be denied they gave
the people capable officers and good govern
ment, while the Allegany Ring, with the as
sistance of the Baltimore Neies and SIM have
placed in the gubernatorial chair the small
est and weakest incumbent it ever had

An Assessment Bill.

The Senate and House confeiees on the
Herring and Bankard assessment bills agreed
upon bill, which is virtually the Herring bill,
and the measure was accepted by large ma
jorities in both houses On Tuesday.
Whether the Governor will sign the bill is
a matter of uncertainty. If he does, it is quite
certain that the mortgage income tax and the
bond taxing features will be contested in the
courts. Capital viii not submit to taxation
unless forced by decision of the court oflnst
resort.
If the bill becomes law, its chief features
will be laid before the readers of the ADvo-
CARE shortly. Some have already been noted.

CPECIAL NOTICE.

A recent examination of our books
shows that number of trustees, ad-
ministrators, mortgages, executors,
attorneys, agents and others have
unsettled accounts, which aggregate
several thousand dollars. This is too
much to carry and the audits in many
cases have been made out from three
months to one year. Some cases
have been closed with the printing
bill unsettled, and a number of briefs
in the Court of Appeals remain un-
paid for. Charges in some estates
are ten or more years old, and remain
unpaid. 1t is our desire to close these
accounts A number of bills have
been sent out, and the others will be
as soon as practicable, and it is hoped
all will be given prompt attention.
Subscribers viii please look at the
dates on the labels of their papers,
and all who owe for another year
should settle at once. Money can be
very safely sent by letter.
We hold notes against a number
ofpeople. These must be paid shortly
or all win be placed in other hands
for collection.
