They hadn' t met since the old college

benedict insisted that the bachelor

"No?''
"Well, l shsspld say not. /"
And so it Happened that the bachelor
went with the benedict and met the
latter's wife and played with his chill
dren and made himself generally useful
and popular until they were all seated
at the dinner table
1t was over the coffee and cigars, aft
er the benedict wife had left the table,
that the benedict finally suggested:
Pretty comfortably fixed, ain t I, old
man? Children, why don't you go into

Feeding a Baby Elephant.

In st. Nicholas F. Fitz Roy Dixon
tells of baby elephant that was cap
tured by friends of his in Ceylon, after
the death of its mother. Mr.. Dixon says:
When Sidney was first brought over,
virtually in order that she might be
fed, the question. naturally arose as to
how she would take her nourishment.
OF course the proper way for an adult
elephant to take in water is by means
of the trunk, which is furnished with
two tubes running its whole length.
But when a bowl of milk was placed
before the baby elephant she did not
know what to do with it. She dipped
the tip of her trunk into it, and the
lockers on thought that there would be
no difficulty about her drinking at all,
since she recognized the scent of the
nourishment she had been accustomed
to. But she was quite at loss and set
up roar which seemed quite natural
under the circumstances. Then some
one suggested pouring it down her
throat from bottle, and this was ac-
cordingly tried, and after one or two in
effectual attempts she understood
She was half starved when this was
done, for she had had nothing to eat
since the death Of her mother, and her
delight at being fed was most amusing.
The only trouble was that it was diff
cult to satisfy her, and it was feared
that the change of diet would disagree
with her, but fortunately it had no i'll
effect.

THE CAUSE THE DEFICIT,

Last months Treasury reports show
a surplus of receipts over expenditure
es- The deficiency for the eleven
months of the fiscal year is about S32,-
00O, 900!
This is just the sum SAYS the Phiia-
delphia T,mas that Senator Aldrich
expects to make up from increas-
ed taxes on beer, tobacco and tea He
estimates that the pending tariff bill,
with these additions. will yield a sur
plus ola little over two millions, which
is pretty close guessing, and shows
that he does not, at the best, expect
any considerable increase from Gus
toms duties, or not more than will be
absorbed by increased expenditures.
For it must not be overlooked that
this deficiency we hear so much about
is not caused by insufficient revenues
but by excessive appropriations. The
revenues of the past eleven months are
81 10000 in excess Of the CORES
ponding figures of 1896; the eXpendi-
lures are SIG, ZOO, 900 greater.
Il Congress will persist in spending
more money year by year, no tariff
can possibly be framed that will ex-
pend the revenues proportionatel y
This truth will force itself into recoo-
milton sooner or later and much dis
would be saved if it were
recognized now.
Meanwhile, as there is cash bal
ance of $3.50, 900 200 in the Treasury
the necessity for additional revenue is
evidently not so urgent as the necessi-
ty for curtailing extravaganza and
providing a rational system of finance

THE ELECTION LAW.

We begin this week the publication
of series of articles upon matters Of
political interest. They are being
prepared under the supervision of a
competent committee of the Maryland
Democratic Editors Association, and
will, undoubtedly, throw much light
upon the Republican management of
State affairs. a hostile or indifferent
daily press in Baltimore has compelled
this action on the part of the country
papers. The public needs enlighten-
ment upon many matters which even
the luminous "Sun'' has failed to dis
close.
The article on our fourth page, this
week, points out one sham reform
and ought to appeal very strongly to
the people of this section. Those
who desire fair elections and believe
that voters should be left to the exer-
else of their own free will in casting
their ballots, will see how utterly i'm
possible this can be under partisan
compliance with the provisions Of the
new election all. That which appears
upon its surface most fair and just,
shows upon inspection to be lacking
in one of the first essentials of a pure
election, and void of safeguard that
has been and should be invariably used
where illiterate voters require the as
sistance of the clerks.
The object of the Australian bal
lot system is to free voters from in
timidating influences. In the law now
in operation this feature is practically
annulled, and any colored man who
ventured to vote for friend or to bolt
the rule of his political boss can be re-
ported by the ballot clerk with impu-
nifty, as nothing in the law binds him
to secrecy, as was formerly the case.
Many of the better class of colored
people in this section, whileA adhering
faithfully to their party upon national
issues, will occasionally vote for a
friend or for friends upon the opposi-
ton ticket. This shows progress and
independence. 1t shows a just repug-
nance to the restraint and disgrace
of a political slavery that would drive
them to continued service of set of
men who care nothing for theil real
welfare, and who forget them after the
election. The colored people, as rule
seem to he slow in detecting the selfish
political schemers i'll their party, and
are often untrue to honest Republicans
who are their best and sincerest friends.
So soon as they learn to use their good
sense and are not led by blind preju-
dice, they will not only scorn those who
impose upon them, but will vote indie
pendently, and support their true
friends without regard t. party.
