President Mckinley on Wednesday sent
to the Senate, with an accompanying
message, a treaty for the annexation OF
Hawaii to the United States. The treaty
was signed by the Secretary of State and
special ENJOYS from Hawaii. In the main
it follows the lines of the treaty negotiated
at the end of the Harrison administration
and which was recalled from the Senate
by Mr.. Cleveland. There is a strong
minority in the Senate who will oppose
consideration of the treaty at the present
session. Senator Kyle, who has made a
canvass of the Senate, claims fifty-fve
votes certain for annexation, with fully a
dozen doubtful Senators from whom tc
draw for the five votes needed.

The old tariff mossbunkers of the

The old tariff mossbunkers of the
Democratic party are being shelved
and the nation has cause to rejoice.
Senator Bacon of Georgia offered
an amendment to the tariff bill
placing duty of 20 per cent on
imported cotton. The amendment
was accepted and some of the moss
bunkers are having fits over it.
That old hob goblin, tariff reform
and tariff for revenue "Only"-a
couple of demagog frauds that have
been the cause of infinite injury to
the country are about played out.
Every section of the country where
there is something that can be pro-
tected by a tariff duty is going to
reach for it in future. The tariff is
purely business question, and its
economic principal is governed by
the relation it bears to the business
it affects. The thing is dead as a
door nail as party question placed
ON economic grounds and protection
is its twin fakir. These two politi-
cal prostitutes under whose skirts
so much evil has been legislated
into the laws of this country have
seen their best days. In future the
financial question will take first
place in the minds OF the American
people, and President Mckinley is
already beginning to huff and fill on
the money question, and the signs
are very ominous that his light
craft will be capsized before the
storm is over.

The following appeal is issued to the
voters OF the county on the subject of the
race track nuisance

The following appeal is issued to the
voters of the county on the subject of the
race track nuisance
TO THE VOTERS OF CECIL. COUNTY.
AS the time is fixed for the Democratic
primaries, it is of the utmost moment
that the voters of Cecil county should
understand the Importance of one vital
issue now before the people, and to be
determined by their votes in the selection
of candidates for the next General AS
senbly of Maryland. This issue is the
question: the horse race gambling
be permitted to continue its demoralizing
traffic in the county, or shall it be sup
pressed by legislative enactment? This
issue is made and cannot be ignored or
thrust aside by political parties. Our
appeal is to the people. We appeal to
the moral sense of the people of Cecil
county. We appeal to fathers, husbands
and brothers to come to the rescue of our
citizens and deliver us from this accursed
traffic in human souls and bodies. We
do not exaggerate, the facts are before
our eyes and cannot be denied. We
challenge any one i'll this community to
come forward and defend tn Sc racing
organizations and their nefarious business.
1t has not an element of good in it; and
what no man dare defend has no reason
or right to be, much less to be under the
protection of law. Whilst we are writing
this appeal Elkton is filled with the
stranded followers of these suspended race
gamblers. For lack of patronage they
have been compelled to close their racing
for time. and scores of men and bows
are now without employment and with
out money. They cannot even get away
or pay their debts. They are the victims
of the law which sanctions such other
wise outlawed racing. This law must be
repealed and law forbidding race track
gambling passed.
In order that this may be done, we ask
the voters at the primaries to select only
such delegates to their county convention
as are known to be opposed to these race
tracks, and can be relied upon to nomi-
nate candidates for the legislature trust
worthy and unpurchaseable. These
gamblers have money, and know how to
use it They were in Annapolis in the
winter of 1896, and they, or their agents
will be there in 1898. Our representa-
tives must therefore be above suspicion,
and not pledged, but to be trusted with
out pledges. Thus only can we hope to
free our county from these gamblers and
their business.

The sure and most common sense
way to get rid of race tracks and
gambling in the state of Maryland
would be repeal every law in refer,

three line act forbidding every
species of gambling under a penalty
of fine or imprisonment or both stat
