By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know
Them

We trust the so-called Independents,
who gave their aid and support to the
Republican ticket last fall, have been
able to give some little attention to the
proceedings at Annapolis this winter;
or better still, able to take a look at
the men they sent to Annapolis to at
tend to the important matter of State,
county and municipal legislation.
Surely every fair-minded man must be
ready to admit that seldom have we
witnessed such an utter disregard of
the peoples interest as is manifested
by the so-called reformers and purifiers
of boss methods as are now assembled
in the city of Annapolis. Governor
Lowndes cannot be blamed by the men
who were weak enough to be fooled
into voting for him, for at all times he
boldly declared that if elected, he
would keep Maryland in the Republi-
can column in 1896. Visits of indepen-
dents and meetings protesting against
party leadership will have but little
weight upon Speaker Mudd, Senator
Wellington and Governor Lowndes.
These men are out and out party men
and will not hesitate to put none but
solid Republicans on guard. 1t is alb
surd for Democrats who deserted their
party to expect anything in the way of
refrom from such combination. The
past should have been a sufficient guar
antee as to what these men would do if
again entrusted with power in this
State. When warnings were given it
was claimed we were talking of war
times and the question was asked, if we
were never going to forget the past.
By their fruits We shall know them.
The reforms SO generously promised
have been delusion and snare. Sem
ator Bruce's bill declaring for civil-ser-
vice will be slaughtered without mer-
cy. The fair assessment promised has
not yOt materialized. Indeed, we have
had no legislation whatever which has
looked to better government or to
needed reforms. The free school-book
bill under the Republican control sim
ply means that a raid must be made
on the State sinking fund or the State
taxes must be increased Yet there
were thousands of Democrats led away
from their party, and gave their aid
and support to the crowd now work.

bold leaders of the Republican party
at Annapolis. This is situation which
the independents and reformers of Ma
ryland should study; they handed the
State over to the enemy and they are
now reaping the rewards they richly
deserve. Unfortunately, however, over
one hundred thousand loyal Demo-
Gratis must share the fate that treachery
has imposed upon us all.

This Is Jocund Democracy.

Every true Democrat in Maryland
will voice the sentiments contained in
the following editorial taken from the
columns of the Baltimare Sun on Mon
day last. If such doctrines should APP
ply to the National Convention, pray,
why should they not apply with equal
force to the State conventions:
"The character of the Democracy
which Senator 'Tiliman, of South Car
DINA, represents, is shown by his asser-
ton that, if the National Convention
refuses to make concessions to silver
the South Carolina delegation will
withdraw and act with the indepen-
dent silver party, which proposes to
put up a candidate of its own. If Till
man stands by his declaration, neither
he nor the delegation which he says he
will control have any right to seat in
Democratic convention. Delegates
to a Nasonal Convention are in honor
bound to accept the action of the con-
ventiOn as Tinal and to support its
nominees. The majority rules, and if
this were not the case, it would be abb
surd to hold convention"
Weigh well the words of the Sum-
1t says the majority must rule, and if
this were not the case, it would be
absurd to hold a convention. This is
true Democracy; surely some good
Democrat penned the above lines and
We trust that this will be the standard
of Maryland Democracy for all the
days to come. Do not make this a
rule for National Conventions and
urge its non-fultillment in State Con-
ventions. All, how different would he
the condition of Maryland to-day. had
the Sun carried out this good old Dem
ocratIc doctrIue during our last cleo
ton. Still, we sometimes profit toy
the sad lessons of the past!
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1896-02-21

THE country has not been without
experience of what is bound to follow
in the case of organizations seeking
power through the cultivation of relig-
ious prejudice and passion. Know
Nothingism has not been so long dead
that its history and fate are not easily
recalled. There was period when it
appeared to have far more influence
than the A. p. A, and when unscrup-
ulous politicians were as eager to avail
themselves of its despicable services as
the same class are to employ the A. p.
A to-day. Communities were thrown
into turmoil, neighbors arrayed against
each other and even families broken
up by the Vaccinations of the Know
Nothings and the appeals to bigotry
and race hatred. Riots and bloodshed
their lives.
There can be no successful revival of
Know-Nothing principles or practices
in these later and wiser days. Much
Know-Nothing party was due to pop
ular ignorance, which exists no longer
in the same degree The fear of the in
reference of church whose headquar-
tiers are in foreign country with our
political system is recognized by intel
ligent people as preposterous, and only
the feelings-of the most ignorant could
be moved by such plea
There are many other reasons, how
ever, why such an organization as the
A. p. A. cannot long flourish in the
United States. An organization whose
methods are secret and. therefore, pre-
sumab!y sinister, and whose whole ma
chinery is plot and intrigue, must in
the end become the victim of plotters
The disintegration of the order in the
West has been due chiefly to internal
dissensions, combinations and cabals.
Members living in an atmosphere of
secrecy and machination, restless with
ambition and eaten up by jealousies
and personal hatreds, took readily to
plotting against one another, and the
society naturally went to pieces.
The party or the public man so I'M
wise as to enter into an alliance with a
dark-lantern order is bound to come to
disaster. To believe that any such in
f1uence as the A. p. A. vote can be
comma aded at will and swung from
one candidate to another is an empty
dream rhe cohesive principle of such
an organization is so unsound that
sooner or later it must fall by its own
inherent weakness.

gang OF small boys, who continued the
search for the bearing rock.
P. Broderick, who is distant relative of
David c. Broderick, had the contract for
erecting wall 300 feet long and seventeen
feet high on the north line of Calvary
Cemetery. 1t was necessary to remove
about six thousand cubic yards of earth;
and while the men were working they
uncovered pile of rock which scintillated
like iridescent beads. An examination
led to the discovery of thousands of yel-
lowish bits of metal. which created the i'm
preston that it was gold.
"I'm not MINER" said Mr.. Broderick
yesterday, "and / would not know a gold
mine If l should stumble on 1t; but when
saw the shining particles, and men who
said they were miners declared that there
was gold in sight, 1 concluded to protect
any rights l might have and put up an
eight-by-eight fence on the spot. There
were a number of people out here yester-
day, and they examined the ore, but they
were divided in their opinions, and, COM
ing to the conclusion that there was moth
ing in it. took down the fence this morn
ing. That is the end of the Calvary gold
mine"
The boys of the neighborhood were. how
ever, not so easily convinced as was Mr..
Broderick, for after the fence had been
removed they Jumped the claim" and
held it against all corners. Yesterday
afternoon there was a gang of dozen or
more on their hands and knees overhaul
ing the pieces of broken rock, and when
one found piece with glitter in it he
would thrust it into his pocket with as
much qualification as if it had been a
nugget.
"Boys. you are wasting your time, for
that rock is of no value" said gentle
man who had watched them at their work.
One of the youngsters looked up for
moment, placed his index finger to his
eye and asked, "Say, what We givln' us;
don't you think we knows gold when we
sees itP' and with that he resumed his
exploration.
A piece of the rock was shown to Fred
NJ. Johnson, an asssyer, who after exam
lining it for few moments under the glass
said: "This is commonly called green
stone.' 1t is composed of spar, tale and
lime and it contains great deal OF iron
pyrites and sulphurets. On the surface
there is no trace of gold, but an assay
might show some gold in the sulphurets.h

PETER MAHER WILL SPAR
The Heavy Weight Will Exhibit
Himself if He Cannot Fight
Choynski.
His Manager, Michael Connolly, De.
clares He Will Accept No Less
Than a 10000 Purse.

Michael Connolly. who is for Peter
Maher what Billy Brady is for Jim Cor
bett, gave his ultimatum yesterday to the
National Athletic Club.
1--WE came out to this coast on your
promise of a $1,000 purse to meet Joe
Choynski. We are here willing and
anxious to do battle if you, Mr.. Groom,
representing the National Athletic Club,
will produce Mr.. Choynski and permit
to spar from the authorities. You seem
to be having some trouble in pulling the
match off ard we do not wish to crowd
you. We will wait four days longer and
if you are not ready we will be open for
engagements with any other institution
wishing to talk business"
Subsequently Mr.. Connolly said:
III the National Athletic Club cannot
bring the fight off we will not have any
thing to do with any other club unless the
full amount of $4,000 is put up as purse.
1.-THE Olympic Club has already offere
$4,000, and l am satisfied the $1,000 lacking
will be put up to see such men as Maher
and Choynski come together. II it is not
we will return East, where Choynski is,
and we can get a match on there.
Before we leave however we will not
disappoint the public. We will give an
exhibition, at which Maher will endeavor
to stop the best men put against him."

Barred Out for Good.

The efforts of EXCLUSIONS Inspector Bar
rett to be reinstated have failed. He was
notified by Secretary Carlisle yesterday that
under no circumstances would the case be re-
opened. The ex-inspector was removed from
the service about twelve months ago as the
result of an investigation by Special Treas ury
Agent Moore The removal came about the
time of the Foss scandal, and created no little
comment in Federal circles. Barrett had some
warm friends in the customs service, and they
have been making vigorous fight for his re-
instatement. The decision, however, of the
Secretary of the Treasury forever kills Bsr-
retts chances to agein serve Uncle Sam. This
is regarded as victory of no small importance
for Major Moore.

A few weeks ago, that is before the st.
Georges CLUB was refused permit to hold
boxing exhibition in this City by the
Supervisors its secretary sent several
letters and dispatches to Jack McAuliffe,
whose residence was then announced as
New York, offering the ex-champion
lightweight pugilist good purse TO fight
Jimmy Carroll, the clubs boxing in
structor, ten rounds in this City.
McAulffe did not answer any of the let
ters or kilograms until yesterday, when
the secretary of the st. Georges Club re-
ceived few lines from him stating that
he was "out of town." but if the condi-
tions OF the proposed contest were salts
factory to him he would fight Carroll
under the auspices of the ST. Georges
Club.
Carroll is anxious to have another
chance to try conclusions with McAuliffe
and will agree to almost any terms offered
II match can be consummated.
Young Mitchell of the Occidental Club
states tnat the Slavin and McAuliffe fight
Will be held in the latter part of Septem-
per, as the manager and trainer OF McAu-
line, Barney Farley, wants all the time ne
can get to put "his boy" in shape for q
hard mill.
1t is said that inside of two weeks Far
ley has reduced '.the Mission Giant"
twenty pounds by giving the pugilist lib
eral potations of his wonderful discovery.
McAuliffe will now devote his time and at
tentlon TO road exercise, of which he in
tends to take considerable until the latter
part OF September. The big fellow realizes
tnat TINS Will be his last chance, and 1t is
safe to say he will leave no stone unturned

George Lavigne, the champion light
weight, does not propose to remain at rest
very long, neither does he fancy the stage.
His manager, Sam Fitzpatrick, in letter
to young Mitchell, stated that Lavigne was
open to meet any man in his class and did
not bar color.
Young Mitchell Immediately set about
to find some one for him, and George Green
was suggested as being about the. only
representative of the fraternity on this
coast who might possibly make an inter-
estlng contest with Lavlgne. Green, who
was spoken to in the matter. refused to
hight Lavinge at any specified weight and
reluctantly said that if Lavigne wanted
match with him real bad, he could have it
at catch weights.
Lavigne fights at 13S pounds or there
abouts and Green can fight strong at 145
pounds. Lavigne's friends say that "the
Kid would not object to split in the diff
ference of weights.

CAV HELD BLAMELEss.
The Captain of the Blairmore Not
Responsible for the Wrecking
of That Vessel.

OF IndG tesseAs
Inquests into the deaths of Henry Lind
strand, Roland E. Siegle, Thomas Lud-
gate and Harry Clark, four of the men
who were drowned il the wreck OF the
Blairmore, we're held by Coroner Hawkins
yesterday.
Captain Cav and Wrecker Whitelaw
were asked to give an opinion as to the
amount of ballast in the Blairmore.
Whitelaw said there was between 26O and
$50 tons, while Captain Cav thought there
was $50 English tons of ballast in the
vessel. The amount of ballast was as
great as any of the vessels used. The tide
was running strong at the time, causing
the boat TO run up on the anchor chain.
The stronger the tide the greater the lean
ing of the vessel. When the squau came
the extreme had been reached, with the
result that the boat capsized.
Ten witnesses were examined altogether,
the testimony corroborating that OF Cap
tain Caw and Wrecker Whitelaw. The
iurv returned the following verdict: THAT
according to the testimony placed before
us we find the captain was not to blame
in the matter, and that the death of the
above parties was purely accidental"
DIR. Barrett yesterday performed an
autopsy on the body of George w. Wallis,
the man who was found dead in his bed at
the Russ House last Tuesday morning.
No trace of poison was found. 1t will be
remembered that at the time Willis wrote
a letter TO his son-in-law announcing his
intention of committing suicide. 1t is
now thought that just as the deceased was
about to execute his threat, death came to
his relief.
