Mixed New Babies Up.

SHANoKIx, Pa, March Sl.-While Mrs.
Hannah Foster, OF TreyoFton, was at the bed
side of her sick mother, Mrs, Jane Morton,
of Irish Valley, al an early hour yesterday
morning, she was taken i'll suddenly, and a
few moments after physician arrived each
woman gave birth to child almost simultane-
onsly.
Both mother and daughter occupied the
same bed, and, in his haste to deliver Mrs.
Fosters child, the physician hurriedly laid
Mrs. Mortops newly-born babe in a cradle
nearby. A moment later he placed the
daughters offspring in the same cradle, and
then busted himself in attending to the two
sick women.
When each mother asked TO be shown her
offspring, the doctor was in quandary, as he
could not recollect which child belonged to
Mrs Morton or which was that of Mrs. Foster.
One of the newly born babes is a boy and the
other is a girl, but the mothers and the at
tending physician are in a quandary as to the
respective identity Of the little ones.
After studying oyer the perplexing question
for several hours the msitar was given up in
despair, and Mrs. Morton poured oil on the
troubled waters by magnanimously declaring
that her daughter should take the boy and she
could afford to be generous, as she has several
sons, and really prafsrs having another daugh-
ter to replace Mrs. Fostey, who was married
a little over year ago.
Mrs. Foster, who lives in Trevorton, Egs
summoned to the home of her mother, in
Irish Valley, about four miles distant, on Sun
day afternoon, and responded promptly, al
though she was soon to become a mother.
The joliDg of the vehicle over the rough
roads, boRQYer, proved too much for her, and
caused tbs pseMatRre birth Of her child

A New Registration.

Irnder the new election and registration law
,horo will he 81 entire new registration of
VOTERS in the city of Baltimore and the coun-
ties of the state this year. A new registration
was not needed in the counties, and its re-
ou;rement will cost the people much incon-
yepience and the taxpayers considerable
sum. The election machinery will be more
expensive than under the former law, and that
entailed useless expense. Such is reform,

squandering Public Money.

From present indications the present Con
eress will eclipse the former Reed Congress,
generally known as the The Billion Dollar
Congress. The appropriations have been so
great up to the present time that The Commit
tee on Appropriations resorted to the trick OF
making some appropriations in the Sundry
Civil Bill for only eight months instead OF Il
wear and loaded the deficiency bill with items,
so as to make it appear that the last Congress
was responsible for them. The fraud was ex'
posed in the House, but the Republican ma
jority will no doubt go on with their scheme
in order to humbug the people during the
presidential election. Even with this fraud IN
appropriations the total for this session will
reach $506, O00, 900 and for the next session the
appropriations will exceed that sum by at least
$50, O0O, 900. For the two years the appro-
priations will amount to about 81, 100000 a
day. Sundays included.

Speaker Reed is using his position to hurry
absolutely needed legislation, such as appropri'
alton bills, and to shut off all other matters,
in order to secure an adjournment of Congress
before the Republican national convention
meets, and also that blunders that will return
to plague the Republican party shall be as
few as possible. He has lost control of the
House TO some extent, however, the majority
being too large On Friday of last week the
Speaker and the members of the appropria-
lion committee had agreed TO take up the
suudry civil bill, but the opposition com
bined and carried proposition to consider
bills on the private calendar, much to the as
constituent of the Speaker and Chairman
Dingley. This act is construed to indicate
Reeds waning popularity and the hopeless
ness of his candidacy for the Republican nom
ination for President.

A consistent Protectionist must favor pro-
lection to every interest in the United States.
He should favor the protection of the mining
interests of the Pacific slope as well as the
manufacturing interests of New England the
wool interests of Ohio and Texas, the iron in
terests of Pennsylvania, and the coal interests
of Maryland. A consistent Protectionist
should favor free coinage of silver as well as
of gold. The people might as well take a
fifty cent dollar as to pay tive prices fol
clothes and hats and blankets, for agricultural
implements and all other necessities. In fact
it would even up matters. If people could
pay fifty cent dollars for protected articles,
they would get them at a fair price.

which is Democratic. When the bill came up
for consideration in the Senate on Friday OF
last week Senator Hill moved to strike 1t out,
and lively debate followed. Senator Faulk-

Hill, and finally had the political rider striek-

A constitutional amendment will be sub
mitted to the voters of Maryland at the gem
eral election in 1897. The majority against
it will approximate $4,000 About the only
thing the people have left is the ballot, and
the right to aspire to Office and to have a
voice in saying who shall ell them, and they
will not surrender it and make life tenures for
public officials. Civil service reform, as it is
called, is conception and hobby of those
who have no fixed principles and are as
changeful as the wind

The Baltimore Sun need not read lessons
on political morality any longer, or lay down
conditions precedent to Democratic success
IN this state. The Democratic party is going
10 carry Maryland in 1896 and in 1897 also,
no matter where the Sun stands. 1t has de-
ceived, deliberately, many OF its readers, and
it will be long time before its editorial ut
terances have any considerable Influence with

1t would be good scheme to formally turn
over Maryland to Wellington and Cowen, and
save cost ola Legislature, Governor and Board
of Public Works. Wellington runs the Gov
ernor and Board of Public Works and dictates
all appointments and elections to office and
Cowen, through the Governor, dictates as
sessment laws, and sees to it corporations are
not hurt. Wellington and Cowen are the
worst bosses the people of this state were ever
under, and Lowndes is mere rigmy, without
the least independence or moral courage.

The Democrats of Maryland ought to es-
fablish Democratic daily paper in Baltimore.
1t should be backed by ample capital, say
S250.OOO, and equipped with an able,
conservative editorial staff. 1t ought to have
been done ten years ago, and had it been the
paper would have been well established by
this time and would have had circle of read
ers larger than that of any other paper in the
state. Every county Democratic paper stand:
