Order Of the Coart
II was learned yesterday that most Of
the shortage in ex-County Treasurer
John A. Doran's accounts was made in
the tax rolls. During the first year
there was taken from this account SIS
345.55 besides a thousand dollars from
the redemption fund. According 10 the
books il looks very much as IL balance
was made at will and pleasure. What
made il appear that the books were all
right was that in the final closing up OF
the books a balance was made from the
cash account into the apportionment,
thus balancing the final account. The
apportionment is several accounts con-
solidated and brings the amount up into
the hundred thousands, thus affording
ample opportunity to any one who had
access to hypothecate the funds.
Yesterday County Attorney Amidon
got out attachments on the property be-
longing to some Of the bondsmen who,
il was alleged, were trying 10 dispose Of
their property. He Issued an attach
ment on lot 70 on Douglas avenue in
Mead's addition which stands in William
Hallowells name. Mr.. Amidon heard
that Mr.. Hallowen was trying to dis
pose Of the property a. a greatly reduc-
ed price. and although he is not bonds
man, Mr.. Amidon will try and prove
that the property is part Of the Doran
estate, or that /: was purchased and
given to Mr.. Hallowell during Mr.. Do
rams term of office. Sheriff Cone levied
on the land and il is now in his hands
awaiting the order Of the court. At
tachments were also issued against the
assets Of Charles Miles and +. Holm,
two OF the bopdsment for Mr.. Doran
during his first term. George B. Kelly,
living on farm in Eagle township, had
a similar notice served on him because
he is nephew Of Mr.. Doran's and it is
thought that he acquired his farm
through Mr.. Doran. Sheriff Cone also
served papers on Mrs. Doran as the adj
ministratrix OF the property Of her de-
ceased husband. More attachments will
likely follow.
The reason that Mr.. Patterson was
asked TO make his report on the first two
years instead of completing the work
for the full two terms was on account
OF statute limitation regarding the
bondsmen. If the shortage had been dis
covered at the end of this month the
men on the bond would not have been
liable. AS the statute provides that af-
ter they have been released they cam
not be sued after two years. Thirty
days more and the first terms bonds
men would not have been liable and' the
county would alone be the total sufferer.

Was Unfortunate

In reciting the sensational miniature
riot at Colwich few days ago the press
gave ii out that il was the American
Volunteers or the Salvation Army who

It seems that this was mistake, as 1t
was neither one Of these organizations,

had gone up there 10 do evangelistic

vstiop.
One OF the narrowest escapes from
instant death that has happened in this
vicinity in long time occurred yester-
day afternoon, and Livingstone Pratt
was the very near victim.
Mr.. Pratt is a young man about 20
years old, and son of DR.. NJ A Pratt.
He is in the bicycle business on North
Main street and well known in the city,
especially among the wheelmen. Yes
terday afternoon he betook himself TO
Sullivan's dam for an afternoons recre-
alton. About 5 clock he got a bathing
suit Of one of the attendants and pro-
ceeded to go in swimming in deep water.
He never once mentioned 10 any one
about the place that he could not swim,
nor did ne take any one with him, but
boldly plunged out into the current and
padded around awkwardly, apparently
unconscious Of the risk he incurred be-
ing all alone.
Either from cramps or because he lost
confidence in himself ne suddenly COM

water completely helpless. He scream
ed as he came up the second time and
fortunat eiy his cries were heard by Bob
Sullivan, who flew to the rescue. Bob
lost no time in trying to disrobe for the
struggling man in the water was by this
time due to come up the last time, so
Mr.. Sullivan plunged into the water,
boots, hat and clothes all on, and as
Pratt came up for the last time Sullivan
seized him by his hair, which fortunate
ly was quite long, and lowed him into
shore more dead than alive. When
found Mr.. Pratt was in fifteen feet Of
water and a few seconds more and he
would have drowned, as he was going
for the third time. He had swallowed
several mouthfuls of water which made
him sick, but after lying down for awhile
and keeping quiet ne was restored suf-
ficiently 10 return to the city. He has
had enough OF bathing alone in deep
water 10 last him the rest Of his life long

FOREWAl
A Lawyers Duty.
From the Altoona, Pa, Tribune.


We have said on more than one occa-
sion-and we repeat it now, even at the
risk of drawing some sensitive but un-
scrupulous pettifogger blood-that ece,y
attorney as a s,coyn officer Of the court,
solemaly pledged Jy has oath to deai Justly
aud to erer SEEK the triumph Of justice,
and to pay promply aH moneys collected,
eahe,. as b.ustee o. agent. Every accused
person is presumed to be innocent, it is
true, until the evidence has been presented
in open court and the verdict of an impair
tial jury taken. And every accused per
son is entitled to the best services of the
lawyer whom he has engaged. We hold,
however, that an attorney oath of fealty
to the court binds him to stand by the
truth; duty does not require that he should
deceive the court or resort to sharp tricks
or invoke all the devious processes Of delay
known to the INSCRIPTIONS simply to delay
the inevitable hour or to enable criminal
to escape. When lawyer knows that his
client is guilty under the law, it seems to
rs that he has done all that could be rea-
sonably asked Of him when he has pre-
sented all that can be said in his client
favor to the court. Then an honest man
should think about stopping.

Stop My Paper.
From the Cycle.

After you get angry and stop your pa
per, just poke your finger into water, pull
it out, and look at the hole. Then you
will know how sadly you are missed. A
man who thinks paper cannot thrive
without his support, ought to go-off and
stay awhile. When he comes back half
his friends will not know he has gone and
the other half will not care, while the
world at large kept no account of his move
ments. You will find things you cannot
endorse in every paper. The "Book of
Books is often very plain and hits some
hard raps, but if you were to get mad and
burn your Bible, the hundreds of presses
would still 90 on printing it. So when
you stop your paper and call the editor
names, the paper viii still be published,
and what is more, you will read it on the

A TIMELY WARNING TO THE HONEST
VOTERS OF MARYLAND.
Published by authority of the Maryland Demo-
cratic Editors Association

Published by authority of the Maryland Demo-
cratic Editors Association.
The maneuvering and the coquetry and
the false promises and the violated pledges
between the dominant faction of the Re
publican party in Baltimore city and the
colored brother, in the recent royal bat
ties over the spoils of party success, ought
to afford an object lesson of great value to
the honest voter of Maryland who is sin
cerely intent upon redeeming his native
State, while yet there is opportunity, from
a thraldom that may compass her ruin.
The solemn and deliberate promise of Mr..
Malster and his friends to put three negroes
on the legislative ticket, the manner in
which the negro voters focked to his
standard under the inspiration of this
promise, the subsequent apparently re-
luctant but equally deliberate violation of
this promise by the Malsterites, and the
reasons assigned by them and the
independent press for such violated
pledges, will furnish the subject Of profit
able meditation on the part Of the honest
and patriotic Marylander. The facts of
this chapter of political history will be
made the subject of this article.
THE SOLID NEGRO VOTE THE
FOUNDATION STONE OF MARY
LAND REPUBLICANISM
In the second article of this Association,
published in June, the character and COM
penent parts of the Republican party of
Maryland were clearly disclosed to the OBJ
servation of the people of the State. 1t
was there shown that majority of the
Maryland Legislature is elected in l6 coun-
ties, there enumerated, in which the Re-
publican party, as shown by the figures of
the Baltimore Sun Almanac, is composed
of %, ,039 colored voters and | ,286
whites, the latter for the most part not
fairly representative of the intelligence,
the respectability or the substance of the
communities in which they live, and many
Of them n-taxpayers. 1t was there
shown how the illiterate colored voters of
those negro-dominated counties had been
converted into solid and unreasoning
political machine by the vilest kind ofrace
prejudices instilled into their ears by the
white men who make personal profit by
the scheme and are denominated by Sena-
tor Wellington as ''scalawags. The con
clusion was there stated that 1.-THE whole
stock in trade of the Republican party in
MARYLAND consists of the unbroken ranks
of the fifty odd thousand colored voters Of

THE ASPECT 1T BEARS TO ALL
HONORABLE AND IMPARTIAL
MEN

The narrow escape of the Republican
party from naming negroes for the Leg
islature, and the contemplate breach Of
faith involved in it, reveals to the intelli-
gent and impartial observer in their true
colors the bad and dangerous influences
into whose final keeping the affairs Of our
good old state may irrevocably pass, if the
present, and probably the last, opportunity
is not finally and vigorously availed Of
But all fair minded men, capable of dis
eliminating between the shadow and the
substance, will fail to see any greater i'm
propriety or humiliation in having the laws
enacted and administered by the negroes
themselves than by the little band of white
men who in several of the counties have
for 25 years kept the negroes banded
solidy together as political machine under
the inspiration of the vilest preiudices
against ''white mans government in
sidiously instilled into their ears.
Nor will the intelligent locker on fail to
note the full significance of the shrewd
suggestion on the part of the independent
press, - which was relied on by the Repub-
icans, that it is only the present emergency
in contending with the formidable and
much feared 'tGorman Machine that
makes the naming of colored lawmakers
inexpedient 1t goes without saying that
when the Democratic organization is broken
down by another defeat at this critical time,
and the Republicans are placed in praeti
cally undisputed control of the State, that
negroes in the Legislature and all the other
concomitants Of scalawag rule will follow as
the night the day The history Of that
kind of domination in the other Southern
States, during the short period that it was
tolerated there. affords sufficient proof Of
this.
Neither will the frank assurance from
the same source that the sympathies and
the prejudices' Of the negro race ''can be
counted on to support the Republican
ticket solidly on election day fail to re-
ceive full and just appreciation on the
part of an aroused and indignant people.
That the independent press and those
whom it claims to represent openly ayow

unreasoning race prejudice of fifty odd
thousand deluded voters and combine with
an insignificant and unrepresentative mi
nority of white people to pervert the gov
ernment of the State, is timely information
which the people will not fail TO take ad
vantage of.
FOREWARNED Is FOREARMED.
They are nght-those unconscionable
mugwumps styling themselves the 'inde
pendent press Only break down the
Democratic party organization, which they
call the 'Gorman Machine, by another
stroke of treachery, and the Maryland Re
publieans may go on at their pleasure and
put all the negroes in the Legislature they
can find room for, and repeating all the
other unsavory history of carpet bag gov
ernment in the South with impunity.
But the honest yeomanry of Maryland
will close the Trojan gates while yet there
is time. 'Forewarned is forearmed

whom they know to be not only the moral
and intellectual peers, but the superiors of
the average white men usually sent to the
Legislature by the Republicans of the ne
gro dominated counties, where their race
constitutes the rank and file of the party
and the only consolation they have given
back to them with the violated pledges is
assurance that there is Temporary
race prejudice against them among the
white element of the Republican party, as
now constituted, which it would not be
safe to offend. They are more sorely
grieyed at being informed that, in addi-
ton to the kid -gloved annex in the city
for which the "independent press claimed
to speak, the Republican leaders of the
counties have advised the breach of faith
with them. They cannot understand how
men who have banded their race together
in the counties for % years on the plea
of race prejudice, and that white man.
government and laws is necessarily mimi
cal to their interests, should now join in
denying to their race, under the most IA
vorable conditions, the most unequal and
merely nominal participation in the law
making power which had been promised to
them. They give no credit to the spec
ial emergency plea, feeling assured that
special emergency will always arise against
them
