ROBBERIES CONTINUE.
AN ELKTON CLOTHING STORE
TWICE ENTERED THIS WEEK.
The Many Places Now Being Pilfered
Over the County Indicates That an
Organized Gang Is at Work.

SohiLSa Yang 10 az W vi NJ
The thieves who are now carrying on their
work so generally throughout the county, are
becoming bolder and bolder day by day, as
shown by the fact that the clothing store of
Marks Lieberman, on Main street. Elkton,
has been robbed twice within five days, the
last depreciation being on Tuesday night,
when over hundred dollars worth OF cloth
inc was secured by the rogues.
At a late hour oa Saturday night last, ono
OF the front display windows was cleaned
out, the robbers accomplishing their work
readily from the fact that in closing up the
clerk had neglected to lock one OF the
screens. The robbers standing on the side
walk broke the glass from the side of the
bulk window and drew forth whatever hap
pened to be in reach. The window contained
variety OF articles, caps, gloves. neckties.
and clothing. This booty spurred them on
to a regular looting OF the store, and which
they accomplished on Tuesday night late
Securing number of tools from the railroad
section house tool box, near the railroad
station, they forced the back window of the
store. In making up their plunder they
picked out only the best clothing, mostly
black worsted mems suits. and throwing
back the heavy bar locking the rear entrance
coolly walked out. Their footsteps we're
tracked across rear lots as far as Bow street.
where it Is supposed a wagon or confederates
were in waiting to carry the plunder Off. Mr..
Lieberman states that his loss for the two
nights amounts to $3.50.
CAR ROBBED.

number of goods had been stolen on Monday
night from a box cur on the Baltimore Cen
tral railroad, the robbery it is thought having
ieen committed at either Perryvile or Port
Deposit.
RECENT RoBBERIEs.
Within the past several weeks there have
been quite number of robberies throughout
the county. which gives the police to believe
that there is an organized gang at work. The
thieves are devoting their special attention to
railroad cars and clothing stores. Only last
week a car on the Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore railroad was entered at Elkton
and some thirty overcoats consigned to the
Baltimore Bargain House, Elkton, stolen.
Not long since the clothing store OF S. ],
Reeder at North East, was burglarized Of
considerable clothing, there being evidence
there that indicated that the robbers had
taken their plunder off in wagon. Goods
consigned to an Oxford merchant we're stolen
from car, supposedly at Perryville, where
the ear laid off over night. The store of
Haines d Kirk, hardware dealers, and the
warehouse of Slicer and Hartenstine were
among the places recently pillaged
The officials are doing their utmost to run
the thieves down.

The first was the concurrent circu-
lation of the green backs, and the
second was the discovery of the
rich deposits of silver in the years
from 1865 to 20. A ceaseless fight
has been waged against the Green
backs by the Banks and their
friends since 1866, and against sill
yer since 1873. The real cause for
the decentralization of silver, was
the fact that every silver dollar
coined, displaced Ma tional Bank

little to do in the case and would

The Negro Protective Party.

While Coy. Bushnell was ad-
dressing meeting of colored peo-
pie at Springfield on Wednesday
and assuring them of his devotion
to their interests Notwithstanding
the criticisms that have been freely
made in his action in the Urbana
affair, a convention of colored peo-
pie in session at Columbus declared
its dissatisfaction with both the
old parties and that the time has
come for the colored race to look
out for its own interests. That
those concerned in the movement
mean business was manifested by
the organization Of new party,
the nomination of full state ticket
and the adoption of platform
which sets forth the reason for the
action taken.
The organizers of the new Negro
Protective party say their object is
to show to the world that they will
be. "no longer the plaything of
p politicians or chattels for sale to
the highest bidder" and that their
series for justice being disregarded
by those in power and having APP
pealed in vain to both the domin-
ant political parties for redress of
grievances" the "time has come
for independent action on the part
of the negro citizens of Ohio"
The attention OF Senator Hanna
will be called to this meeting and
its action. If he doe not heed the
warning voice at the first call, it
will no doubt be repeated in a
louder key. He may remember
that about six weeks ago a promin-
ent colored politician of Washing
ton gave notice that he intend ed
coming out to Ohio, making his
headquarters either at Cincinnati
or Cleveland, and contributing time
and money toward the defeat of
any Legislature that will elect Marx
Hanna to the senate. He denounc-
ed Mr.. Hanna as having broken
every promise made to colored
politicians, "and he made more
promises than could be printed in
a big volume" Mr.. Marcellus
West said that Mr.. Hanna told the
colored politicians "at ST. Louis at
the convention and he kept telling
them during the entire campaign
that if they would stick to the old
party and work In season and out
of season he would see that they
got more out of it than they ever
had BEFORE" They worked hard
and faithfully and up to this time,
Mr.. West said with bitterness, "the
negroes got nothing. Hanna don't
know them. He has insulted them
when they tried tosee him merely
to ask IL he intended to keep any
of his promises" But, added Mr..
West with set mouth, "the negroes
of Ohio are all up in arms against
him and e-can't win them back
with any-morepromises. They are
OIL to his racket. He can't buy
them with money either. They
are too mad for that, Well lick
him and we will settle further
along with the party at large when
our support is wanted in another
campaign" Then he finished up
by saying: I'VE colored people
propose to do some business here
That was six weeks ago. They
began "doing business" on Wednes-
day hy organizing Negro Pro-
tective party, nominating full
state ticket Of colored candidates
and preparing to go into the cam.

Get Together.

So long as our financial policy IL
unchanged, there can be no general
or permanent prosperity. There
may be some advance in some
lines from extraneons causes, as has
been the case in bread stuff5 this
year, but this apparent improve
ment cannot continue longer than
present conditions remain unchang-
ed.
Wheat and other grains will
fall to their normal level just as
soon as the unusual scarcity in the
old world is overcome.

This being true, the "battle of the
standards" must continue until the
reforms in our financial system are
accomplished, and the power of the
golden god is broken, and the peo-
pie are emancipated from the
slavery in which they are now
held.
This cannot be, so long as gold
holds sway, and our currency is
based on a burdensome public deb,
and its volume is controlled by a
syndicate of men to whom prosper
iiy means private gain, and patriot.
ism a term without meaning.
The first step in financial reform
is the restoration of silver to its old
place in our currency on the terms
of the Chicago platform, investing
it with the functions of real money
which shall flow into the channels
of trade free from interest, ami i'm.
parting life and vigor to every de-
partment of industry and COM
merce.
When this first grand step is
firmly and surely taken, the other
necessary reforms will follow in
rapid succession.
We believe O vast majority of the
people who read and think favor
the reconciliation of silver, and
we are impressed that it can only
be accomplished by united effort
on the part of all those who SO
favor the idea. There was never a
period in our history when union
and concerted action were more
imperatively required than the pre-
sent. Then let the friends of"Free
Silver" get together in a compact
phalanX, and laying aside all min
or differences, bend every energy
to the accomplishment of this one
grand purpose.
All who oppose such a union are
enemies to the cause, and whether
ostentatiously supporting Coxey,
Dexter or Bushnell are working for
the defeat of the cause of silver,
and the perpetuation of the present
suicidal system.

Currency Conspiracy.

For quarter Of the century of
our national existence the main
effort of the com bined wealth of
the world, has been to get control
of the machinery of this govern
ment. The fort had its inception
during the early days of the late
civil war, and there has been no
respite or cessation of effort since,
but every law enacted has been
carefully planned and administer
ed to forward the end intended to
be attained.
Adhering strictly to the econom
ic axiom, that the debtor is the
slave of the creditor, the effort has
been pushed toward obtaining alb
solute control Of the wealth of this
great country, as at once the safes !
and surest, as we'll de the most in
slduous, plan that could be adopted.
The necessities of the war furn-
ished the excuse, and so well di-
rected was the effort that the war
was prolonged for three years, and
thousands Of lives sacrificed for no
other purpose than to impoverish
the people and pile up public
debt that, in the estimation of these
traitors to humanity, to cancel
which would render the united ef-
forts of succeeding generations, un-
availing.
