BQttlAd LIN.

The Baltimore San has been bottled
up. 1t has an insane hatred for Mr..
German, and it's hatred has driven it
to do some funny things. 1t does not
strike those who have watched the
course of the San for some years that
it understands politics. At one time
it tried to be Democratic, then 1t en-
tered a reform school and undertook
an Independent role. Last fall it went
over to the Republicans, where we
suppose it still is. though nobody
knows exactly.
In it's political role it has proven a
decided failure. Whilst under the
Democratic mask it grew in strength
and vigor until it began to be called
the organ of Mr.. Cleveland, but when
accused of this it denied it with oaths.
and thereby lost the honor it might
have gained. Whilst Independent it
undertook to purify the Maryland
bench and ballot box. The mix it
made there has ever since been sub
ject of derision. Now that it has gone
bag and baggage into the Republican
party Maryland sees how it has been
buncoed, and the Democratic atmos-
phere has been purified to an extent
which looks as if some good would
really come out of Nazareth.
But the San after joining it's last idol
began to make excuses. It based its
dislike of Democracy on the currency
and Mr.. >Gorman, and it fed these in
holy horror. In the memorable battle
between David and Goliah, all remem-
Der how disastrous it was on Goliah's
part to remain in the fight. but what
would have been the feeling had the
giant deserted his forces and ran as
the Sun has done. With as much pro-
priety and with the same public scorn
has the Sun, which claims not only to
be the Goliah in this, but in all fights,
fled from these two diminutive person
ages, Bimetallism and Mr.. German,
and has hid itself behind the Republi-
!; can fortress. Last week Mr.. German
laid down proposition to the Sun.
He in substance said: "Your opposi-
ton to Democracy in Maryland has
been declared to be your dislike of
me. Now if you will come out and
take hold of and manage the Demo
cratic politics of this State will re-
tire and leave it all to YOU" But the
Sun grinned from it's entrenchment
and said: "Oh. no, Mr.. German; am
too smart a fly to be caught in that
net. You don't mean what you say,
and l decline to leave my safe retreat u
The back down was of the most ride
ulous character and has placed the
Sun in an unenviable position. It de-
MES the truth of Mr.. Gorman's asser-
ton, yet the public will be as likely to
believe him as the Sun. It is only the
word eff one man against another. and
this is SO childish way of getting out
of a,corner that the public will, and has
laughed at the discontinue. We note
with pride the discretion of him who
runs away, but his heroism is seldom
praised in poetry or in prose.

in this city, but his acquaintance was
not large in Portland. About two years
ago his father died and he then under.
took to manage the farm at Bonney
Eagls. After his unole's death, Young
Lane came to this city only occasionally.
The annuities were paid once in every
six months. and then he always came to
Portland to receive his share. Tho last
time he was here was March 15, ana his
name appears on the register OF the
United States hotel of that date.
On that day he went to the office of Mr..
Rand and received his check for $3.50,
and in the afternoon of the same day left
for home.
No one who knew him in this city re.
members that he ever acted strangely.
His habits we're exemplary and he was
never known to drink to excess.
His acquaintance in Portland can as
sign no cause whatever for the double
murder and suicide.
He had the reputation of being a good
natured easy-going sort of fellow who
took life as it came and made NJ COM

friends here as Little Johnny" he.heinp
