ANNAPoLIs. April Sd. 1898

ANNAPOLIS, April Sd, 1898.
Ed. Register following appear
ed in the Iron County Republican OF
last week over the signature of Sap
sus Calami:"
sOur attention was to-day directed
to an article in the REGISTER bearing
the title of 'Pullers and Bakers,
which we do not hesitate to praise as a
masterful effort beyond criticism and
the future is certainly bright with
prospect for the author. However
there is quite coincidence in connec-
ton with this article which, to say the
least, is rather remarkable, not OBJ
servable to the general reader. Some
months ago this same article verbatim
appeared in a prominent journal from
the pen o. most prominent journalist.
Plain and simple accusation of
plagiarism the above.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we have never
laid any claim to brilliancy. We new
err expect to gain fame with our pen
Gil. In writing the article referred to
we had no idea that it would be for a
moment considered ''above criticism.
We thought it only mediocre, and
we are surprised that one so well up
in current literature should not have
recognized the lines of Ella Wheeler
Wilcox (''those who lift and those who
lean'O revamped to fit the occasion.
Taking out the lines with which the
article closed closed and which were
slightly altered to suit the occasion,
we don't hesitate to say that we will
freely give .'Sapsus Calami." or any
other Sapsucker five dollars who will
produce the journal that contains a
facsimile of "Pullers and Bakers"
published prior to the publication of
that article in the REGISTER.

THE trial of Z. X. Max, indicted for
the murder of Withers, ended last Fri
day in the acquittal of the defendant.
The result was a surprise to many,
and Piedmont was greatly excited over
it. 1t is generally believed that a
nolle prosequi will be entered in the
case of Henry Max. and no doubt the
end of the bloody tragedy has been
reached.

w. c. BRANN, editor of the Icono-
cldSt, was assassinated on the streets OF
Waco, last Friday afternoon. After
receiving a shot in the back and
through the lung, he turned upon his
assallant and shot him so that he died
in few hours. Mr.. Brann succumbed
also next day, and the bright spirit
that had dominated his body went out
into the illimitable and eternal wastes
of the world we guess at. Peace to
his ashes! Whatever we may say of
his methods, the ends he aimed at
were not the striking down of truth
nor the oppression of the weak. His
friends were numbered by the thou
sand; his enemies were those who had
felt the scourge of his pen.

CtlIN-GOLD.

A London banker, Mr.. Walter Del
mar, has been interview on the war
situation. Among other things Re
says the following:
War would not be TO the advantage of
the silver party in America, as so many
people seemed TO think
On the contrary, it might work the
other way Much would depend on the
President. If ne was really gold man,
he could in case of war, say to Congress,
I'VE must have money and the only way
to get it is to maintain our credit by de-
claring that all our Obligations are to be
paid in gold and not in coin If he did
this even the silver men in Congress
would be obliged TO yield on patriotic
grounds.
Mr.. Delmar has a very crude knowl-
edge of the course public sentiment
would take in this country if war be
declared. Just what advantage there
would be to either the silver or gold
party in an increase Of our indebted
ness is quite difficult to know SO far in
advance, but this London banker is
reminded that thirty ODD years ago,
during an internicine strife which
threatened humiliation to the nation
money was borrowed to the extent OF
billions on a coin basis. and much OF
it from abroad.
Then this banker says. IF he
(meaning the PresidenD was really
a gold man, he could in case Of war
say to Congress we must have money
and the only way to ge it is to main
tain our credit by declaring that all
our obligations be paid in gold, and
not in COIN The Register opines
that no such dictation to Congress
would eminate from the lips of a patrl-
otto Executive, and if it did it would
have very little consideration.
What money the country may need
in the present emergency the patriot
ism of the people will provide willing
ly: and there is a satisfaction in the
thought that the people have 1t and
