THE situation in Cuba becomes
worse and worse as time wears on.
The people are feeling the horrors of
famine, and reports say that popular
uprising is feared Soldiers are guard
ing the market places aud the price of
meat is so high that poor people cam
not buy it. Weyler's course has pro-
voked general disgust and his recent re-
mark That meat was not for poor people
anyway" has stirred up strong feel
ing of resentment that may prove
troublesome unless something is done
to relieve the distress. The insurgents
are winning victories right along and
are in a better condition now than
ever before. 1t has been a most cruel
and devastating war and the sad fate
of women and children who have fall
len into the hands of the Spaniards
appeals strongly to the manhood of
the world. Some means of stopping
the barbarous warfare should be devils
ed and the sooner the better.

Our Firemen at Annapolis.

The United Fire Company carried off
the laurels at Annapolis last week in
more ways than one, and in conse-
quenee have come in for a large share
of unfavorable criticism. The Annap-
oils papers charge them with gross
misconduct and the despoiling of the
decorations on the engine houses as
well rs those of private citizens. This
was done in the excitement of their
great victory, and we feel sure that no
harm was intended. Our firemen bear
as good reputation in behavior gem
orally as they do in their noble duty,
and it is with regret that we hear of
any misconduct on their part, espec-
tally in strange place where their
shortcomings are sure to be exagger-
ated. 1t should be a matter of pride
with them and with all others when
participating in celebrations away
from home to conduct themselves in
such amanner that no word can be
said against them. When the true
facts are known we feel sure that our
firemen have been more the victims of
a misunderstanding than the real cul-
prits. We hope this for the honor of
our noble department and its glorious
record

Excessive Taxation.

The timely warning given the Re-
publican party by Senator German in
his able speech in the Senate a few
days ago, should be the means of caus-
ing the Republican leaders to halt in
the wild and reckless legislation they
are imposing on the country. Were it
not for the unfortunate business de-
preston which seems to be taking
firm hold upon the country, the DEM
ocratic Senators would be justifiable
in entering a solemn protest against
this needless taxation of the people.
No people can become prosperous by
excessive taxation, and the Republic
can leaders will find out that they will
utterly fail to bring about the promis-
ed prosperity through the agency of
the present Dingley tariff bill. We
shall woit aud see.

THE Hawaiian annexation treaty is,
together with the tariff, Almost impor-
tant problem in Congress. 1t has
taken great strides forward during re-
cent days and is said to be almost
ready, having been signed by repre-
sentatives of both countries, the United
States and Hawaiia. We cannot see
what this government wants with
more territory when so much of that
which we have remains undeveloped
and ample for the needs of the country
for years to come. With increased
possessions comes also the press of
greater responsibilities and the added
likelihood of international complica-
tions, which this nation most desires to
avoid at all times. With Hawaii adj
ded to the United States, there will be
a precedent for the advocates of the
purchase of Cuba to hold up to the at
tention of Congress, and thus make
things lively However, if our legisla-
tors think it the part of wisdom to
carry out the plan, we suppose it is I'M
avoidable This little island has been
a Jonah to Us for some years back.

quietly as he uttered the words.

of the Columbian Club was big affair.

enthusiastic than ever.

The Baltimore Sun" Trying to
Create Discord Among the
Democrats of Frederick.

The article in the Baltimore Sun
purporting to have come from former
admirer of Senator German in this
city, does the Democratic party of this
county a great injustice. Whilst the
Democracy here have never received
either aid or encouragement from the
columns of the Baltimore Sun in the
many desperate fights they have had
against overwhelming odds, we did
hope the petty spite and unmanly ieal-
ousies of the sam against Senator Cor
man would not be invoked against the
struggling Democrats of Frederick
The article in yesterdays paper con-
tains nothing more or less than a pack
of infamous lies. As a matter of fact,
the nomination for clerk of this county
is now being canvassed for by two
citizens of the county, both of whom
will be more than pleased TO accept the
nomination The Office of Register of
Wills i likewise being canvassed for
by gentlemen who are already in the
field-others have been spoken of for
the other positions on the ticket. OF
course, il is well known that there are
a set of men in this county, calling
themselves Democrats, who are oppos.
ed to Senator German, and for that
matter, have been opposed to men
nominated 10y the party at erery con-
rentioa. Mr. Jordan, who was nomi-
mated for clerk six Years ago, was bit
terly opposed by many of these self
styled Democrats, although fairly and
honorably nominated. Here in this
county we have always had great odds
to overcome, the Republicans having a
fair majority of AT least four hundred.
The Baltimore Sun can add t. our
difficulties by the publication of such
false and evidently malicious articles,
and no doubt, with their Republican
tendencies. they will be delighted to
know that their article has caused
more than surprise among the respect
able portion of the Democrats of the
county. Why should we be tainted
with the desire of getting the promi-
nent men of the city and county to-
gether in order to secure good nominal
tions, with n hope of securing theil
election in November? Should such a
line of policy not meet with a cordial
endorsement? The question of Sen
ator is seldom discussed here; all
hands seem to be trying to bring har-
mony into the ranks of the party: all
past difficulties are ready to be forgot
ten. Good men are being urged for all
the positions on the ticket and none
but malicious faEifier would attempt
to create discord AMONG the Democrats
of this county at such time as this.
The article in question has been char
acterized to-day by numbers of men as
mean and contemplate. Let the fell
low who is said to have written it sign
his name and we guarantee to give the
motives that inspired the cowardly at
tack.

THE project to annex Hawaii to this
country is bearing some fruit in
Washington, and considerable discus
sion is being INDUCED in concerning
it. The matter is a perplexing one
and merits more than the customary
amount of consideration than legisla-
tors generally give grave and impor-
tant topics. Many Democrats are OPP
posed to territorial acquisition away
from our own country and say the adj
ditional responsibility assumed would
not compensate US for whatever adj
vantages may accrue. Discussions on
Hawaii may be provoked during the
sugar discussion in the Senate.
