This fact is, therefore, apparent that the Re-
publican party's only hope of continued as
cendancy 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 Legislature. They did not
propose 10 take any chances OF split in the
negro vote. They knew that any consider
able detection 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

In another column we give a review of the
record of the Republican party of Maryland:
1t never had INT one chance to make "A record
in Worcester, then it levied tax on the peo-
pie Of $50, 600 and pocketed the money. This
is one of the main reasons Worcester has been

made mistakes, but it was a Republican Board
Of County Commissioners which deliberately

continue in every department of the county

Curious Effect Produced on Crowd by q
Toy Bear.

Toy Bear.
An enterprising confectioner of Helena,
Mon, has in his store window o meohan.
ical device representing little bear, which
by the aid of clockwork inside Is made to
constantly move his head from side to side.
The bear Is an excellent miniature of a
perfect bruin and attracts great deal of
attention. The drollery of the expression
of his face was caught with admirable ex-
actness by the designer.
Men, women and children stop to look
and are captiyated by the little animal
which hardly ever fails to provoke laugh.
Sometimes they remain in front Of the
window, captivuted by the expression of
his face, until they unconsoiously fall to

side to side IL an endeayor to note the vary
ing expressions Of his eyes.
At times crowd will gather, and dozen
persons at one time fall into the side to
side movement until to an outsiderit looks
really funny.
The discovery Of the effect of the little
toy was not made by a man standing in
the window and probably never would
have been, for those who sec it fall uncon
sciously into tho habit themselves. A man

The first time met Mr.. Lincoln wal
during his oontast with Douglas. ! was q

try town. was almost a stranger there
when Lincoln was announced to make a

Soon tall, gaunt man came down the

was specially impressed with the fair
ness and honesty of the man. He began
by stating Douglas points as fully and
fairly-as Douglas could have done. 1t
struck me that he even overdid 1t In bis
anxiety to put his opponent argument In
the most attractive form. But then he
went at those arguments and answered
them so conYincingly that there was moth
ing more to be said.
Mr.. Lincoln's manner so charmed me
that asked to meet him after the address,
and learning that he was to be In town
the next day attending court Invited him
to dine with me. He came, and we had an
interesting visit.
The thing that most impressed me was
his reverence for learning. Recently come
from divinity studies, was full of books,
and he was earnest in drawing me out
about them. He was by no means ignorant
of literature, but as man of affairs natrl-
rally he had not followed new things nor
studied in the lines had. Philosophy in
terested him particularly, and after we had
talked about some of the men then in
vogue he remarked how much he felt the
need of reading and what loss 1t was to
a man not to have grown up among books.
"Men of force" l answered, lean get on
pretty well without books. They do their
own thinking instead of adopting what
other men think"
Eyes" said Mr.. Lincoln, "but books
serve to show man that those original
thoughts of his aren't very new, after all. +"
l met Mr.. Lincoln several times later,
the next time long while after in anoth-
er place. l thought he would have forgot
ten me, but he knew me on sight and ask
ed in the gentlest way possible about my
wife, who had been i'll when he came to
see u.s. But of all my memories of Lin
coin the one that stands ont strongest was
his interest in poetry and theology. He
loved tho things of the spirit. York
