sand dollars, and Worcester county tax
payers had to pay fourteen hundred and
eight dollars and thirty seven cents in ex-
cess of what the election cost in this county
in 1895 under Democratic administration
of affairs, just for the privilege of giving
the Republicans an opportunity to intimi-
date the colored voters and keep them in
line This is the way the Republicans do
things when given chance. They cry
economy economy when the Democrats
ale in control, but when they get hold they
let loose the purse strings, for they are not
the taxpayers and they don care how the
money goes.
Easton Ledger.
The Republicans were wonderfully sur
prised when it was demonstrated by the
Democratic press few weeks ago that in
the Republican reform election law
passed in 1896 the provision for swearing
in those most important officers, the ballot
clerks, was omitted 1t was in the election
law passed by preceding Democratic Leg
islature 1t was omitted through an in
adyertence, explain the Republicans. Not
so 1t is in proof that it was done adj
vertently and designedly; and that it ac-
complished its purpose at the succeeding
election. There never was any necessity
for the Australian system Of voting in
Maryland. We can teach Australia.
We do not need to go to that common
wealth of monarchy for voting system.
Many good old Democrats resented these
reform innovations by declining to reg
lister over again when they had been regis
tered many years and had voted time and
again under that registration. The Re
publicans calculated on this. All of them
registered; possibly some of the negroes
more than once. Republican sheriffs
emptied the jails of negro prisoners and
had them registered. Here was reform
registration The negroes who did not
come of their own accord were appealed to;
if appeals were ineffective, they were
threatened; if they did not scare, they
were bought outright And so they were
all registered, even to the jail-birds And
then voted, by the oathless Republican
ballot clerks
Upper Marlboro Gazette.
That reforms are generally expensive
luxuries was never more thoroughly shown
than in the enactment of the new election
and registration laws This is fully de-
monstrated in the third article sent out un-
der the auspices of the Maryland Demo
cratic Editors Association and published
in this paper The article clearly shows
there was no necessity for new registra-
ton in the counties, nor changes in the
election law. The table appended show
ing the cost of registration and election un-
der the old and under the new law will be
a startling surprise to the taxpayer.
These laws are only specimens of the
class of legislation which we may expect if
the Republican party is kept in power in
this State-the people, however, already
see that this party is incapable of managing
the affairs of our State, and they will

The Maryland senator fatally misreads
the drift of American politics since 1881
if he imagines that the senatorial preroga-
tive which Roscoe Conkling vainly wrecked
his political fortunes to maintain and es-
tablish can be successfully asserted now.
If Mr.. Wellington seriously contemplates
enforcing the senatorial veto power on fed
eraI appointments which he contends for,
he is likely to discover very promptly that
he had begun his crusade for shattered
senatorial privilege at least eighteen years
too late.

1t is quite time that an end should be
put 10 the pretensions of Senator Yelling
ton that he in any sense represents the
Republican party of Maryland in his dis
graceful course lately. His boorish airs
and his scurrilous abuse of everybody in
the party who has failed to obey his dicta-
ton have caused revolt against his boss
ship that is manifesting itself all over the
state. The Warner incident, in which he
used his gutter vocabulary in such epithets
as infamous liar. - creature, fraud,
etc. is but one instance of his vulgar
abuse of his opponents.

skirmish on the tariff question oc-
CURED in the senate Wednesday. It was
followed by vote which served as .
test of strength of the various elements
of the senate. The vote occurred on q
motion by Senator Morrill, (rep., Vt.),
chairman of the committee on finance,
to refer a resolution by Senator Vest
(Mo.) one of the democratic members
of that committee. This made the issue
between representatives of the two
leading elements in the senate. Aside
from this, the resolution was in the ma
ture of criticism of Secretary Gage
and declared illegal his recent order
relative to goods imported after April
1, when according to the retroactive
clause of the pending Dingley bill, the
nav tariff rates are to apply. Senator

Tragedy in New York.

saokett's Harbor, N. ", April ia
horrible crime was committed near here
some time Thursday night. During the
afternoon or evening George Allen, q
steward at Madison barracks, hired
horse and carriage and took two wom-
en- out driving. One of his companions
was young lady of Sackett's Harbor,
Miss May DAILY, and the other was a
divorced woman, Mrs. Crouch. At2:3O
o'clock Friday morning the horse came
back to the livery stable, drawing the
carriage, with the bodies of the two
women at the bottom of it. About this
time Allen came staggering into the
barracks in a weakened condition, and
he, too, is expected to die. He has made
an ante-mortem statement to the eff
feet that Crouch, husband of the d.
vorced woman, assaulted the whole
party, murdered the two women and
wounded him (Allen).

Bank Cashier Murdered.

Somersworth, N. H., April 17.-While
resisting the entry of two desperate
and determined robbers, and during a
heroic but futile struggle to protect
$150,0oo or more in money and secure
ties in the compartments of the open
vault of the Great Falls national bank
of Somersworth Friday afternoon,
Cashier Joseph A. Stickney was struck
down and brutally murdered near tho
desk which he had occupied for years.
After killing Stickney, the murderers
rarsacked the vault and fed with all
the cash it contained with the exception
of a five-dollar gold piece. AS near as
can be estimated, about $4,000 was
taken, but it is possible that the loss
will considerably exceed this sum, as
no one but the dead cashier knew the
exact amount that was in the institu-
ton ait the time.
