After having destroyed the secrecy of
the ballot box in Maryland by emitting the
clerk oath, the Republican party is now
making efforts to take refuge behind the
financial question. TO expose this piece
of subterfuge the Maryland Democratic
Editor Association have issued an article,
to which we call the especial attention Of
our readers. The object Of the article, it
will be observed. is to show the bad faith
of the Maryland Republicans in their effort
to deceive the people by bringing the
financial question into the campaign.

The issue this fall does not involve gold
or silver or any national issues whatever.
The insensate government of Lowndes Is
on trial and it is To be tested whether our
people approve of or condemn the wild and
waywarl career Of oppression OF Mr.. Well
in@tum.
The Republican leaders would gladly
shift the issue to combat over silver or
gold, etc. and keep obscure the real issues
this fall Their whole contention has been
to make national campaign of this, when
there is not Il point where amy national
interest touches save remotel y and relieve
themselves of the agony Of trying to apol-
ogiZe for Lowndes and excuse Wellington.
There can be no such distraction for
them-they cannot be allowed to escape
the retribution for their hi@hhamded deeds
in city, county and State by kicking up
clouds of national dust--they shall not
skulk from their weakened line ol battle
under cover of false pretemseS, but must
fight it out on State grounds and in defence
of the clearly indelensibe.

Every unfair artifce known in politics
will be employed by the Republicans this
fall to direct the minds of voters from the
true issues affecting this State. Nctwith
standing Republican Congress (the Re-
publicans voting solidly on the question in
both branehes) sounded the keynote of the
party $ policy by passing the international
monetary conference bill, the Republican
leaders of this State are endeavoring to
inject into the campaign the idea that the
party is solely committed to the gold stand
ard with no thought of bimetallism. By
this they hope to retain the several thou
sand gold Democrats who voted for Me

The flmsy, financial subterfuge behind
which the Republican party in Maryland
has taken refuge is, from its very nature,
too transparent to hide their real motives.
The ''Republican League Of Business
Men in Baltimore recently put forth Il
political ''declaratior of principles in
which NEST attractive lot of things which
were promised and never consumated, was
shown: the non fulfllment of which long
AGO showed how thin their veneer of truth
was when made The same delusiye snare
is set with which thousands Of Democrats
were alIured from party allegiance in 1896,
and the financial cloud with which they
hope to obscure the brazem facts which sur
round their vulnerable record, both local
and State, is Of thinness through which
none but the most skeptical will fail to see .
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1897-07-24

The pitiable condition in which their
Republican, party managers now find
themselves, as forcibly manifested by re-
cent occurrences in Baltimore city, has
made them realize that something must be
done in order ''to hold the gold Demo
Gratis who enabled them to carry the State
in the last election. If they lose these
allies, their cause is hopeless. By then
own acts, they have damned their cause
to such an extent that no ''fair promises
of reforms in the future can help them
1t is said to be fact beyond contradiction
that the Republican administration in
Baltimore in two years has reached a
degree of corruption and venality such as
has never been approached in the history
of the city. When the disclosures all
come to be made, as they will in course OF
time the public will realize what mock
cry of reform the Republicans have prac-
ticed in this State.
1t is fresh in the recollection Of all how
the Republican campaign was run last yeal
on the sound money idea, as expounded
at indianapolis. Thousands in Baltimore
city alone voted for Mr. Mckinley under
the belief that he was a true exponent of
that idea, and that the Republican plat
form meant a gold basis, as the policy OF
the party, and nothing else.
But the trend of events in Washington
and the public utterances of gentlemen
high in the councils of the national organ.

that the promises by which Maryland
Democrats were deceived are about to be
repudiated.

Without pausing to reflect upon the in
consistent position they occupy, but seek
inc anxiously for some subtertuge behind
which to hide their vulnerable record III
local and State affairs, the Republicans
have already endeavored to make promi
nent the financial question upon which
they obtained several thousand Democratic
votes in 500, and to give it precedence
over purely State affairs which are Of par
amount Importance in the coming campaign.
As evidence of their inconsistency, they
talk of maintaining the gold standard, in
order to hold their temporary recruits last
fall, when Us Il matter Of fact Il commls
sion is now abroad, with the sanction Of
their President seeking to promote inter
national bimetallism Until the result Of
that mission is made known, the financial
question is necessarily, by the tacit con
sent OF both parties, in abeyance. With
the Republicans of Maryland this year it
is anything to avoid discussion Of their dis
appointing performances in the State OF
MARYLAND. But their record here will
be fully exposed as the campaign progresses,
and the people of Maryland shall not be
deceived a second time in giving their suf-
frages to the party Of Wellington and
! oLwndes.

Hartford Democrat.

The article is one Of series prepared
under the direction of the Democratic Edi
tors Association, and shows the shallow
ness of the Republican effort to divert
attention from their own misdeeds and
raise a false issue, in the hope Of distract
ing Democratic voters and dividing party
counsels to prevent the rescue of the State
from Republican misrule Their special
effort is to delude electors into the belief
that the money question is involved in the
election Of legislature this fall-when it
is patent to all but the wilfully blind that
the question Of a monetary standard is not
even remotely connected with the election
Of legislators or any officers they may ap-
point The onl ly possible connection would
be in the election Of United States Sen
ator. How closely connected that is will
be known as soon as it is stated that the
term of the present incumbent does not
expire for two years, and that any legis-
lation by the Republican Congress on the
gold and silver question will be settled, if
settled at all, before new Senator from
this State would have a vote in that body
How futile, then, for the people Of this
State to be wasting their energies in dis
cussing the opinions Of man or body of
men who will not be called on to express
hat opinion during the incumbency of
their office
That the Republicans outside of Mary
land have acknowledged the deceit prac-
ticed on honest and credulous Democrats
last fall, is apparent from the action Of
their leaders in Congress in passing the bill
for international bimetallism, thus aban-
doning the gold standard.

read such books as then constituted the
usual course for young law students.
In 1856 the subject of this sketch
moved to Chicago, where, after some ex
perience in leading banking house, he
resumed the study of the law, and was
admitted to the bar in 1860. Hon. Mel
vile w. Fuller, now chief justice of the
United States supreme court, was then
shining light of the Chicago bar, and
he formed a co-partnership with Mr..
Ham, which continued for about five
years. Mr.. Ham developed pronounced
taste and capacity for literary work,
and he wrote great deal for magazines
and newspapers, subsequently publish
ing two or three books of value. His
work on manual training, is regarded
as a valuable storehouse of classical and
statistical knowledge, including prac-
teal and philosophical learning. Mr..
Ham is the author of the aphorism:
'The curse of mankind is the effort to
avoid labor"
In 1871 President GrantappointedM Mr.
Ham TO the important post of appraiser
of the port of Chicago, which he held
until Mr.. Cleveland's accession to the
presidency. Upon retiring from that
Office he became assistant county treas
urer of Cook county. Hewas appointed
United States general appraiser about
seven years ago. Mr.. Ham enjoys an
uncommon degree of facility and
effectiveness as public speaker and he
has freely exercised his power of
speech in efforts to promote education.

OPERATING ON A TIGER.
Entangled in a Net and Its IngrowinG
Claw Cut Out.

An interesting operation was per-
formed IN Dublin some time ago by
DR.. Samuel Haughton. A magnificent
tiger, one of the finest in the Dublin
geological, was threatened with gan
creme in the paw.
One of its claws becoming distorted,
says Tid-Bits, had grown into the foot,
and to save the tigers life it was nee
essary to cut away the diseased por-
ton. The operation was, to put ii
mildly, an exciting one. An immense
ly strong net was in the first place
thrown over the tiger, and in the net
he was drawn, struggling desperate
", to the door of his cage. Four keep
ers, each of whom must have been en-
dowed with uncommon courage as well
as strength, then held the animals paw
while DR.. Haughton cut away the in
growing claws
Meanwhile the tigress, which had
been placed in an adjoining den, was
frantic with rage, finging herself fu-
riously against the bars in her mad
effort to come to the rescue of her lord
and master. When she was readmitted
to the tigers den after the operation
she examined the wounded paw most
tenderly, purring the while and licking
her mate as if to soothe him.
Both animals appeared to have real
lied that the operation was beneficial
one, for a week afterward, when DR..
Haughton looked in to see how his pa
tent was progressing, he was received
in, the friendlist way and was even al
lowed to examine the mutilated paw.

1t was at a well-known Broadway
confectioner's where there is a soda
fountain and always a stylish and
thirsty crowd, composed chiefly of wom-
en-. 1t was upon one of these women,
pretty and young, that the eyes of two
of the later corners were fastened, says
the New York Times.
There was something peculiar about
her. 1t was not in the make Of her
gown, which was all that fashion, good
taste and a skillful tailor could make
it. That was all right; only, at one
side it had the appearance of being
pulled up on the hip sufficiently high
to show a pretty silk petticoat be-
low it.
What could be the matter? The eyes
of the two women were glued upon it.

clapped her hands. "Do you see that,
my dear? That girl is wearing the
new false hips, as sure as you're born,
and in this crowd one of them has been
pushed up, and has pulled her gown
with it."
And she was right. But the girl of
the modern hips drank her soda with
an air of perfect self-satisfaction and
a clear conscience, and history does
not relate how, when, or where, or the
moral effect upon the young woman,
when she discovered at last the world
knew her as she really was.

CANADA AND UNITED STATES.
A story They Are Telling the Otner
Side of the Line.


Side of the Line.
A writer in the Toronto Printer and
Publisher, commenting on tAe tendency
of some of our United States cousins
TO indulge in tan talk" recalls an in
cident that occurred in Montreal ct the
time that the press of the United States
was threatening that the $5,500,000
awarded to Canada by the Halifax arbi-
tration would not be paid.
Lord Dufferin had just got back from
a visit to Washington. There had been
objections raised in congress to pay
ing the money. Lord Dufferin saw that
a Joke would relieve the strain. He
looked round the large banqueting hall
of the Windsor hotel and remarked
with pretended solemnity: "No, gen.
tlemen. have not brought it back in
my pocket. Our S5,500,o00 of fish money
was not handed to me across the coun-
ter by the president" He went on to
say that he never even looked as If he
wanted it, so convinced was he that all
was right. In fact, he had heard that
Gen. Ben Butler and others were going
TO move that the furniture in the con-
gressional buildings should be pawned
rather than that the States should re-
main in Canada's debt an hour longer
than was necessary. He had not men,
toned the matter to the secretary of
state, but diplomatists had their own
way of settling these things. They did
no. dispute like washwomen over tub.
A nod, a wink, meant great deal. The
secretary of state had maintained a
pregnant silence, "and," said Lord Duff.
ferin, "as speech is silver and silence is
golden, knew from the secretary's 81
lence that he was not only going to pay
up like man, but pay up in gold Like
gentleman"
When this speech was telegraphed t
the United States press there was roa
of laughter from one end of the re
| public to the other. The pettiness o
the dispute was recognized, and tn
money was paid over in few weeks.

Eiderdoyyn from NORWAY.

The rearing of elder ducks for their
down is a novel industry on the Nor
wegian coast islands, which are owned
by private individuals. The birds are
naturally wild, but, being fed when
necessary by the keepers, who also
protect them from the ravens and
eagles, lost much of their shyness and
come at feeding time in great numbers,
attended often by train of gulls and
wild ducks of many varieties. The in
dustry is highly profitable.

BOWLING NOTES.
TO the Light:

TO the Light:
The San Antonio Bowling League
of 1897 is nearing the finish. 1t was
decidedly a stronger battle than ever
fought on a ten pin alley in San An
tonic.
Although the Casinos finished n safe
first, their strongest rivals, the Turn
ers, would dispute that place had they
bowled their present game at the be-
ginning.
1t is safe to say that next year will
find many of this years leaguers
amongst the has-beens roofing for
their favorites.
The Casinos bowled a steady game
all through the season and every man
deserves credit for his good work at
times. Extraordinary. steady work
was done by Il. Rennert, G.. Goeth, A.
Schenk and Geo. Koerner.
Owing to little misunderstanding
among themselves the Turner's were
considerable weakened by the stub
borness of some good bowlers. This
did not dishearten the Turner's. The
p's' hO"ONtis WIN hCW
material organized, went in to win
and caused more heartaches than any
team of the league. Among them
Aug. Brian, Harry Holtz, Alex Fues

all times.

DOGS WINTER BLANKET.
The Very Latest Paris Style for Lit
tie Canine Pets.


Tn Paris they make fashionable blank
cts for dogs, just as they make fash
icnable dresses for women, and the
dog that has on last winters coat is
considered by his acquaintance as one
who is not at all up to date.
The material for blankets this win
ter is white chamois skin. Pure white
is more fashionable than the tan, al
though both are used. The lining is
silk, to match the dogs complexion,
and there is thin interlining of sheet
wadding.
The accepted shape is a big oval,
which is tied with ribbon underneath.
Around the neck there stands very
tall collar that suggests Medici. 1t
is silk-lined, and adds q great deal to
