- The most important inquiry Of these
as this one-"If they will cheat each
'-Sother and debauch the people, is the
treasury safe in their hands?"
In the Association article last week
it was clearly shown from the official
investigation OF Col. Tompkins, that
the funds of the Tobacco Warehouses
were actually stolen and used for the
furtherance of the political ambition Of
Republican politician
1t was shown that the names OF sixty
useless employees were carried on the
pay rolls, and OF these at least twenty
were alleged to be entirely fictitious.
The salaries OF forty were simply given
to political henchmen, and who drew
the salaries on the twenty fictitious
names has not yet been ascertained.
If Secretary OF State Dallam is cor
rect in his estimate OF fictitious names
on the pay rolls OF the tobacco Ware
houses, some person or persons have
actually stolen the amount OF the sal
ares OF these fictitious twenty person
ages
Already, then, has the inquiry been
answered-'If they will cheat each 9TH
er and debauch the people, is the treas
ury safe in their hands?"
1t has been abundantly shown that in
the matter Of the funds OF the State To-
bacco Warehouses, they have been
squandered in useless employees, and in
the matter OF the fictitious names on the
pay rolls, been ACTUALLY STO-
LEN.
What has been the Republican rec
ord in this State in the last eighteen
months that entities it to further conf
dence?
That party, proclaiming purity has
been guilty OF the worst crimes az inst
it.
1t has taken away from the Australi-
an system its very essence, the secrecy
of the ballot 1t has foisted on this
State an assessment law that taxes the
poor and exempts the rich, and in do
ing it it has subjected the people to an
expense OF at least 90 per cent greater
than was the cost OF the assessment OF
1876. The cost in a few counties will
illustrate this The st OF assessment
in Dorchester county in 1876 was SIS
500. The cost in 1896 was $1,000 In
Washington county in 1876 the cost
was $83525 and in 1896, $2o,61z.s1
In Prince Georges county in 1876, s.
5oI.5S, and in 1896, $I2,6Io66 In Wi
comico, $4,000 in 1876 and S4.o43. So in
1896. In Carroll in 1876, $S.o11; in
1896, nearly $4,000 In Alleganv in
1876, 5000; in 1896, $S73821.

and Comptroller Graham, Governor
Lowndes, Attorney General Clabaugh
and Treasurer Shryock have looked az
ter the interests OF the banks they are

Comptroller Graham and Treasurer
Shryock have largely reduced the as
sessments OF the stocks of Baltimore
banks and financial institutions, and no
explanation has been vouchsafed for
the reductions.
Were they made to reimburse these
institutions fof campaign contributions

BY THEIR FRUITS THE PEOPLE
SHALL KNOW THEM.
HOW MUCH HAS BEEN STOLEN
IS NOT KNOWN.
Published by Authority of the Maryland
Democratic Editors Association.

Two weeks ago the article by the
Democratic Editors Association was
entitled by Their Fruits We Shall
Know Them. "
That article dealt with the character
of the white element in control OF the
Republican party or striving Tor the
mastery.
1t showed the means employed by
the warning leaders-iraud, deceit,
treachery. bribery and corrupt bargain
ing-against each other. and these per-
tinent inquiries were made
Returning to the fraud, deceit,
treachey, bargaining and bribery
used by rivals for the mastery, is it
not to be believed that if the Re
publicans will use such means
against each other, they will use
the same to maintain their hold
upon this State?
II entrusted to power again will
they not so legislate as to make
themselves safe against the power
OF the people to dislodge them1
Can they not SO change the reg
istration and election law as to
permit the grossest frauds? And in
view OF the disgraceiul conduct, the
fraud and the bribery that has
characterized Republican primaries
in nearly every county and in Bal
timore city. can honest, liberty
loving, tax-paying citizens trust the
State in the hands OF such men?
If they will cheat each other and
debauch the people, is the treasury
safe in their hands?
Can needed legislation be pro-
cured without paying the cash for
it?
Can honest government be ex-
pected from men who have no COM
FUNCTIONS about buying the votes
of men?

This Is a question that Is often psked.
AMI am sure can not always be cor
rectly answered. For instance this
last week had a hen that was sick.
The symptoms were these. She was
much inclined 20 stay on the roost and
refuse food. The feathers on her head
would stand up almost straight. giving
the Idea that the fowl was being sub
Jet 10 some sharp. thrilling pain. Her
eyes also seemed TO indicate internal
pain. But her comb was red. and she
showed no sign Of indigestion When
out Of doors she would stand nearly
straight Altogether her look was that
Of a healthy but uncomfortable hen.
Now what would our doctors have de-
clared 10 be the matter with the fowl
/ said indigeBtIon-oon But
/ was wrong. killed the hen and
dressed her. Then the mystery was
uncovered. found two Jumps Of hard
material: they proved 20 be cysts that
had formed over two sharp wires that
had been eaten by the hen az some time,
evidently FAR In the past One OF these
cysts was In the external portion OF
the glzzard. out Of which the wire had
worked, The gizzard had grown up
under the wire. and the latter was
pushing its way through the flesh OF the
hen. The sharp point Of the wire on
the outside Of the gizzard was not
covered by the cyst. but was left bare
10 act az a probe IN cutting away a pas
sage for itself The cyst was formed
around and behind the wire. Il was
one Of those admirable provisions Of
nature for the casting on OF undesir-
able foreign matter. Another wire and
cyst were found Just under tbs breast
bone. Just under the skin. and there IL
no doubt that In a little while Il would
have been able 20 get through and out.
The cyst was nearly half an inch In
diameter.
The moral Is that we should be care
ful that our fowls can not get AZ such
things as sharp nails. wire. pins OF
lacks. am glad killed the fowl. and
I am sure that no fowl doctor could
have diagnosed the trouble.
