Plans Disarranged.


The removal of Surveyor Schley and the
death of Sub-Treasurer Hammond have
wrought havoc with Boss Wellington's plans.
His policy was to allow Democratic officials
to fiji out their terms, so as to have the offices
as prizes to be striyen for b. active campaign
work in the fall Aspirants were to be told
that they must prove their fitness for office by
their vigor as partisans, and especially as par
tisans of the Boss. All were to be kept in
expectancy so that all would do their best to
secure Wellington victory at the primaries
and at the polls This is a low plane OF poll
tics. but then Wellington is low plane poll
tieian. Success is the only aim in politics
with him, and he has no compnnc6ons about
the means employed. The Mckinley Adj
minstration has made him Dictator IN the
distribution Of Federal Offices in this state,
and placed them at his disposal to be prostl-
tuted to his ends.
Still the best laid schemes Of mice and men
gang aft aglee. Without fully understanding
the Boss plans Secretary Gage removed Col.
Schley from office, and the hand Of Death
removed Treasurer Hammond. As bad luck
would have it, so far as the plans of the Boss
were concerned, United States District At
torney Marburys term expired and that OF
Internal Revenue Collector Vandiver will
soon end. These three places must soon be
filed, aud there is not much speculation as to
who will get the other places. Senator James
NJ. Sloan, Of Allegany, Is to be Collector OF
the Port Of Baltimore, and William +. Stone,
chairman of the Republican executive com
mittee of Baltimore, viii be postmaster OF
that city. The offices of Naval Officer and
U. s. Marshal are the only places left OF any
consequence, and these are not enough 10
hold any considerable number of persons IN
political expectancy.
The Boss will, therefore, soon have to ex-
pose his hand, and with it open disappolnt-
ment and disgust will give place TO hope.
The true character of the Boss will be ex'
nosed and those who have been worshipping
him as their idol will discover that they have
been bowling down to an imposter. There IS
nothing in Wellington but buster and bad
temper. and the Republicans will not be long
in discovering it. In the upheayal eonse-
quent upon Democratic dissatisfaction, Vel
lington made haste to get himself well fixed.
He will be in the United States Senate for
the next six years. and this position will still
retain among his supporters those who have
discovered his true worth but who go along
with him because they want to use him.

Charged With Counterfeiting.

CHICAGO. May sensational charges of
proprietary medicine counterfeiting have been
brought to light in Chicago by the indictment
by the Federal grand jury of DR.. John Flood,
Ii. Page Cuyton and E. c. Bottume: Cuyton

Democrats Aroused.
From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
The hopeful feeling on the part of the Democratic
party is apparently the increase with each pass
ing week There seems to be something more
tangible in it, also, than the mere wish being
father to the thought" In this connection they
point to scores of prominent Democrats who two
years ago voted for Lowndes, and who last year
either voted for Mckinley or stayed away from the
polls altogether, who say they next fall will be
found in the thick of the fight with view to the
restoration of the Democratic party to power.
Among the number is Mr.. Robert J. Magruder, for
merly a commissioner in Baltimore county, and
president of the Wesley Grove Camp-meeting Asso-
citation Mr. Magruder said on Friday last that he
proposed to take his coat off next fall and work for
the success of the Democratic ticket from top to
bottom, without regard to who was not on
the ticket. Il don't propose to have anything to
do with the primaries" said he, but after the
ticket is nominated l shall certainly go to work
with all of the power that is in me in an effort to
elect it, We have had two years of Republican
rule in this state and am heartily sorry that we
ever gave them an hour" Just then Mr. Robert
Taylor who is now seventy years of age, and who
had previous to two years ago. supported the Dem
oeratic ticket in every campaign, came up to the
group and said Robert in 1895 voted against
my party and for the election of Lowndes, Hooper
and Republican legislature, the latter of whom,
of course, elected Wellington. 1 hope, he contin-
ued that the Lord will spare to assist IN undo
ing the work to which contributed two years ago.
The Democratic party" said he, may put up any
kind of ticket it pleases and if am alive they shall
certainly receive my vote, and all the influence l
can command

Check Kiting.

New York, May 81. NJ. Edwards, for
many years manager of the Great Western
Printing Company, OF st. Louis and who had
been highly respected citizen of that city,
was arrested here this morning, charged with
swindling. 1t is alleged that Edwards, by
means of bogus checks, has victimized many
theatrical people, as well as a number of per-
sons in the photographic and printing trade all
over he country. 1t is said that warrants for
his arrest have been sworn out in Philadelphia.

Arbitration Defeated.

The United States Senate on Wednesday
rejected the arbitration treaty with England,
negotiated by Ambassador Bayard. The
treaty provided for submitting disputes be-
tween this country and Great Britain to a
board of arbitration, one member of the
board to be selected by each country and the
third by the other two. The principle of ar
bitration is all right, but there was some doubt
with many Senators as to whether the treaty
was right. in contentious the ruling member
would be the third one, and some Senators
thought that that would practically place our
interests in the hands of foreigner. The
United States and England will never go to
war, and each difference can be taken up and
arbitrated as it arises, just as has been done
in the past

Disappointing.

No publication in the country has labored
so zealously to promote prosperity as Dun's
Reciep. 1t saw great change for the better
for weeks after the November election, but
recently it has not been able to find much
that its shrewed editor could comfort into any
thing like business revival. In its resume for
last week it opened by saying 'In spite of
moderate improvement in most of the great
industries, business is disappointing. Among
the aggravating facts noted by the Reoie'c are
the falling price of wheat, large imports to
escape higher taxation and heavy shipments
of gold out of the country,

American Butter Sent to Europe.

The first experimental expectation of but
ter from this country was made Wednesday
from New York city, when the government,
through an agent sent by the Agricultural
Department, shipped three-quarters Of ton
of selected butter for sale in Europe. The
result of this experiment is of great impor-
lance to the agricultural interests, as it is the
first step in an effort of the administration to
extend materially the market for American
butter and gain some of the trade with Great
Britain in particular, which Denmark practi-
cally controls with considerable profit The
butter sent Wednesday came from the Iowa
Agricultural College and creamery at Wind
sor, Vermont.

was held Friday. The president annual re-
port showed that in spite of the bad year the
mill had earned its 10 per cent. dividend
lacking only $500, but as 81 200 in profits
were made last year in addition to the 10 pei
cent. dividend, the two years taken together
make fine showing for stringent times.
