THE MARYLAND SENATORsHlP.

Beneath the surface of party diyi
sion in Maryland, another contest has
been waged which eliminated yesterday
in IA crushing defeat for Mr.. German
He managed to incur the enmity of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the
Baltimore Sun, two powerful influences
in Maryland. Through John X. Cowan.
the Baltimore and Ohio and the Sun
first tried to destroy his influence in
Democratic councils. They failed.
They then made n combination with the
Republican party by which that party
is enthroned in power in Maryland, and
together they have succeeded in defeat
ing Mr.. German. 1t was an unholy al
lance, but that is the only kind of al
lance that controls legislatures in these
evil days upon which we have fallen.
Mr.. Germans defeat is a cause of ma
tional regret. While not always agree
ing with him. we have always regarded
him as true party man, ready TO fight
in the ranks or in the lead. He retain
ed his primacy in Maryland until the
power of the railroads and the press were
united with the negroes and Republi-
cans to compass his defeat. He made
a. gallant fight against these influences,
bat in this day of the power of money
to control, it was impossible to sue
ceed.s - ~.'a
f4s&
Judge McComas, who succeeds him in
the Senate. is lawyer of good ability,
and was. selected because he is acceptable
to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
There was a time when railroads Were
managed by expert railroad men. Now
the officers lin many cases are selected
because of their ability to control legs
latures. The people are getting very
tired of government by corporations.

CENSOR OF THE PRESS.

The bill introduced in the New York
Legislature which provides a punishment
for the publication of licentious. indie
cent. degrading or libellous newspapers
is being much discussed. Thee are pa
pers of this character which are sup
pressed under present laws. The Jaw
in question is not directed to them, hui
to what are known as yellow journals. >
This is dangerous legislation because
il leaves to judges Of cur courts, liable to
be biased, the power of censorship OF
the press. Such law would put it il
the power of a corrupt judge to destroy
the papers of the opposition party b,
holding them to be ''licentious, indecent
degrading or libellous." liz q paper j,
s'flbelous" the courts are now open t.
those hbelled, and the libeller may bC
sued for damages and imprisoned. Il
paper is ''licentious or indecent" it il
now excluded from the mails.
Who is to say what is "degradingT
A Republican judge and jury might holt
it TO be degrading" to expose the scan
dals of Hanna's bribery. A Democratic
judge might hold it to be degrading" t.
defend such bribery. There would b,
no end to the evils the law would breed
evils of far greater magnitude thai
those sought to be destroyed. Jefferson
was right when he said:

TIE NEW PANACEA.

Mrs. Eva Mcdonald ValeSh, prominent
IN labor union work, has interviewed
the President on the cotton strike and
wage reductions in New England. One
year ago he was pointing to the tariff
as the means to give STEADY employment
and good wages" Now that the tariff
is working just as the Democrats said
it would work, Mckinley has nothing to
offer except to hope that Congress will
pass the Senate act restricting immi-
grafton. 1.-The restriction of immigra-
ton is the first important thing to be
done if we expect permanent prosperity"
said the President. The Springfield Re
publican, quoting Mr.. Mckinley, happily
says:
"And all this emphasis is given to a
petty measure restricting immigration
by the reading and writing test, and en-
tertained at time when immigration is
the smallest in volume known in 20
years. And where is that tariff which
was TO restore all? No permanent PROS
perity under it without restricting immi-
grafton? Then the immigration bill
must beu the only genuine prosperity
producer. This leaves the Dingley bill
in the character of a grave and solemn
imposture." i
As fast as the promises made to labor
are broken, some other patent scheme is
brought forward, by which the trusts are
going to give big wages to men who
labor. While it is alright to restrict I'M
migration, the men who now offer it as
a panacea are the very men who i'm
ported cheap pauper'labor," in Order to
keep in their own purses the money
taken from the people under the plea
Of giving protection to American labor.
The trusts get the present help; the la
borers are always put off with some new
promise.

HOW TO TREAT MORNIONS.
baskerville CDitizen.)

Why should not the tables be turned
and missionary work be undertaken
with the MOrmons themselves? We send
missionaries to tougher sinners than
they can possibly be, and with some
success. Here is a chance at our very
doors, not only to save North CAROLYN
JAMS from running after false prophets,
but of converting the false prophets
themselves. The pleading that will turn
the Chinese from their ways ought at
least to be powerful enough to send the
Mormons back to Utah, If they could
not be made to see the error of their
doctrine. At all events, where a Nor
mon breaches there too should be some
opponent with the Bible at his conn
mand to cOnfute the follower of Brig
ham Young. In that way the evil may
he checked in its incipiency and the
MOrmOns discouraged. This certainly is
preferable to threatening them, as has
been advised in some quarters.
