the Scottdale iron works We're going
home, one of them, said to be a man
named Painter, became incensed at
the remarks of some boys and delib-
erately fired at them. A large crowd
was gathered about the station at the
time, and they started after the non
union man, who fired four or five shots
into the crowd before he reached the
Geyer house, where he boards. An
other non-union man, whose name
could not be learned drew his revolver
on Pittsburg street and fired several
shots. He was knocked down and
pretty badly beaten before he could
be reached by the officers and taken to
his boarding house. The excited crowd
is massed about the station, and the
balance of the men in the mill are
afraid to venture out.

''The tariff bill is failure" says
the New York World, "open and CON
fessed. Why not substitute revenue
bill?' Good suggestion. Now that
the tariff bill has not been completed
in time to make working basis for
the Ohio Republican Convention; now
that the whole plan of the Ways and
Means Committee Of last winter, and
of the new Administration. has been
substantially thwarted, why not 90 to
work honestly on the tariff, and not
as Il mere matter of party eNpediency!
Or, better still, why not drop the sub
ject and allow the present tariff law to
remain in force? The scheme of the
new Administration is already Il pro-
nounced failure. 1t dare not take up
the question of himetallism in earnest
1t cannot violate the contract with
the spectators in the capital and
labor of the country. The tariff cure
was only available if applied quickly.
The bill has now hung so long that
its projectors must feel as they look
very foolish. Congress should adj
journ OF 90 to work on real revenue
bill; and part of honest effort III that
line would be tremendous pairing
down of expenses.

The infant children of Cooking who

The infant children of Cooking who
was hung by mob in Charles county
last year have, through Mr. Grason, of
Baltimore county, brought suit for
damages against Sheriff Wade and his
bondsmen. 1t is rather a novel pro-
ceeding, and will, doubtless, have an
important effect upon mob law in the
future. The circumstances of the case
are well known to our readers. 1t will
be remembered that the sheriff and the
jailer were both indicted by the grand
jury Of Charles county last November
for malteasance ill not taking proper
precautions to prevent the lynching of
Cooking, but for some reason the cases
never came to trial. Whatever NAV
he the result of the suit for damages,
it will have the effect of emphasizing
the fact that the majesty Of the law
should be respected, and that those
who are charged with the administra-
ton of public duties should neither by
omission nor commission contribute to-
wards the violation of the laws which
they are bound to respect and uphold

in eight other counties with a legislative
representation of sixty votes the proper
ton is very little less. Thus showing con-
clusively that the Republican party with
out the negro vote would scarcely be a
factor in the State. The main object of
the article is to show how comparative
handful of white men are enabled to DOM
mate the State by their absolute control OF
the negro vote.
ANNAPOLIS REPUBLICAN,
While the article states no facts which
have not challenged the attention OF all
thinking men ever since the right of fran
chise was given to the colored race, it pre-
sents them in a new and exceedingly
forceful manner. The table showing the
relative proportion of white and colored
voters which go to make up the republi-
can party is specially worthy of attention.
1t should be carefully studied. There is
no Juggling with figures in this table. 1t
presents the very strongest case that could
be made up for the republican party.
mat party Is given CIeulI III cftIy WhlIo
man who voted with it at the last election,
when it is an admitted fact that the white
vote recorded for it at that election was
phenomenal one, due to extraordinary
causes Yet, even under this eXtraordi
nary state of affairs, it is evident that but
for the compact, solid vote of the negro,
the Republican party would be in hope
less minority. This fact is, therefore, APP
parent that the Republican party's only
hope of continued ascendancy in Maryland
is by keeping the negro vote solid. The
Republican leaders had evidently figured
this out, hence their repeal of the vital
principle of the Australian ballot system,
its secrecy, in the sham reform election
law passed at the last session of the Leg
islature. They did not propose to take
any chances of split in the negro vote.
They knew that any considerable defec-
ton in this vote meant defeat, hence they
resolved to so fix the election law that
they could tell just how every negro voted,
and then to depend on race prejudice and
race ostracism to keep the negro vote solid.

No doubt the Queens Jubilee, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer, is what might
be called a proper thing, though it is
difficult for the philosophic student to
see what benefit it is to the world or
to England. There is so much devil
try in government that it is proper to
take notice of responsibility even if
it is accompanied by mediocrity. so
we do not object to the jubilee. The
reign of Victoria has been nominal
and it will not be great in history.
There has been no achievement in it
to be indelble Her character has
been good while that Of her prede-
ccssOrs was extremely bad. She
shines by contrast. The progress Of
the country in her reign has been
the progress Of the people, and the
relentless assertion of hostility to the
perniciOus doctrine of 1.-THE divine
right of kings

THE OHIO BATTLE.

The Ohio battle at the Republican
State Convention, says the Philadel-
phia Times, has conclusively demon
strated that the Republican party of
that State is now HANNAH foraker Or
ganization, and not a Foraker-Hanna
party as it has been in the past. Han
ma is squarely in the saddle, having not
only carried unanimous instructions
Tor his reelection to the Senate, but
defeated Foraker in the only square
battle had between them for the chair
manship of the State committee, by 4
vote of to l.
Foraker is born fighter, and how
gracefully he will submit to the public
declaration of the overthrow Of his
mastery in the Republican party of
Ohio is the unsolved problem of the
coming campaign. IfHanna shall car
~ the Legislature, he would be omni-
potent in the cOunsels of the party and
Foraker would be relegated to the po-
sition of lieutenant, subject to orders
from his master. This is a role For
aker has never yet learned, and it is
doubtful whether he is capable OF beng
educated to that point of submission.
The contest in Ohio will be the storm
centre of the of.year elections Of 1897.
1t involves more to the national adj
ministration than is involved in all the
other States of the Union. 1t is Re
publican State, and if it shall fail to
elect the Republican State ticket, and
Hanna to the Senate. it would be a
crushing blow to President Mckinley.
Clearly the Republicans are in con-
dition to be defeated if there was Il
Democratic party in shape to take adj
vantage of the opportunity; but there
is reasonable prospect Of Republican
success solrl v because the democrats
are unequal to the task of profting 10y
the confusion and decentralization of
their enemies.

The colored voters having been, under
the systematic teaching of race prejudice
SO well known in this section of the State,
consolidated into an unreasoning machine
ready to do the bidding of a few white
men by whom they are controlled, and
constituting, as these colored voters do,
almost the preponderating voting force in
a majority of the counties of the State
as shown by the tabulated statement these
few non representative white men in the
counties where the colored voters are most
numerous really constitute the Republican
party of Maryland.
As is shown by the figures. little over
1000 of these white men, by the manipu-
lation of the machine they have built up,
are enabled to elect one fourth of our law
makers, while II 900 of the same class, by
of the State Legislature. These white
men, in these counties, by the mere fact of
their STOPPING to the deccitful and dishon-
orable role of working up the Irejudices
of the colored population and arraying
them in unnatural political antagonism to
the substantial white men and taxpayers
in the communities where they live, there
by assume an attitude of defiance and ir-
Responsiveness to the intelligence and
substance of their respective counties and
of the State at large, which is illustrated
in the record of their party whenever and
wherever they have had the administra
ton of public affairs-State or county
1t is not surprising that Il party resting
on such false foundation should have
proved recreant to its trust whenever il
has been trusted with power, and when
| the history of the Republican party
throughout the South and its composition
in Maryland is duly considered, the intel
ligent votcrwill be to some extent prepared
for the record it has made in this State in
the past two years.
