A Modern Moses.

Miss Lillian Clayton Jewett of Bos-
ton, the notoriety seeking white
Moses of the prosecuted negroes of the
South, arrived home recently with the
Baker family, of Lake City, South
Carolina. This Goth century heroine
has created quite stir by her utter
anceS condemnatory OF the outrages
perpetrated by the long suffering
whites in disposing Of inhuman negro
brutes, who despoi their homes and
render Unsafe the lives and persons Of
their wives and daughters. This last
action caps the climax. Baker was
the colored postmaster of Lake City,
South Carolina, and was killed by an
indignant mob some months ago.
Sympathy for his wife and children
ran riot in the North and this is the
pyrotechnical winding up of that part
of il. The Jewett Lyme.
League, formed by the young adj
ventures, bad charge OF the reception
and had arranged for mass meeting
in Peoples Temple. When the
crowd arrived an admission fee of ten
cents was charged, and later "A collec-
ton was taken up for "benevolent pur-
poses"
The entire affair looks like scheme
to play upon the wrought-up sensibili-
tss of the people Of the North for sordid
Interior motives. This fact is made
plain by the initial procet dings. 1t
will 70 doubt pay well if properly adj
vertsed and manipulated. In that
section a negro is quite curiosity and
with the prominence attached to the
Baker family as an additional drawing
card, the Jewett League should coin
money. AS one paper suggested some
time ago, when her plan was disclosed
Miss Jewett should organize an Uncle
Toms Cabin Company, with herself AS
Little Eva" and the balance of the
cast made up by the Bakers and their
friends. Such an aggregation would
not have to play to one night stands,
but could work the entire North to big !
business. 1t will be interesting to fol- |
low this case to the end. AS fitting /
conclusion Miss Jewttt could journey |
TO the far South and seek al experience
al the hands OF the race she now so
highly eXalts and for which she con. /
dennis the white men in instantly
avenging. An account of it from her
pen in Boston paper would be good
reading matter.

For the Dear People"

a combination of glove manufact-
urers has been effected, with a capital
stock Of 10000 000-of which $1,000
600 is preferred stock, representing the
cash value of the properties merged,

object Of the arrangement is to cut
down the cost of manufacture; 10 get
rid of drummers, and to consolidate

A Disappointing Platform.

The Baltimore San in recent edi.
torial says: Our Republican contem-
poraries are greatly displeased with the
platform of the Maryland Democrats
because it does / OF advocate free COIN
age of silver at Is to |. "Not a word. -
the New York San complains, "about
the principal issue which the Democ-
racy has in keeping" Indeed, the
Republicans everywhere cannot con-
ceal their anxiety for the Democrats to
make the race in 1900 ON the platform
of 1896 They feel that with free silver
well to the front Alger, Eagan. EN-.
balmed beef, Imperialism and general
encouragement will all be forgotten
and the Republican ticket will again
60 through with whoOp. The fail
ure TO adopt their program would be
a grievous disappointment. In poll
tics as in war when a skillful general
finds that his enemy wishes him to do
a certain thing he forthwith does some.

Criticisms of Our Platform.

The Republican press view with evil
dent alarm the consolidation of the OPP
posing silver and gold factions Of the
Democratic party in the State of Mary
land, and 50 strong Is this feeling that
il calls forth loud aud vehement pro-
tr.ts and criticisms of The platform as
constructed ut the recent STATE Con-
II len. Strange to ~ the personn /
% the ticket comes in for but slight
a use. That is one great advant age
gained and will show results when the
votes are counted.
The main criticisms Of the opposite
side is on the neglect of strong dec
laratiou for silver and the absence of
declaration Of policy in regard TO the
PHILIPPINES. Nothing would please
our friends on the other side more
than Ia have the Democratic party in
the condition it was in 1895 1896, 1897,
and last year Then the division of
sentiment on National and State issues
Was 50 great that the Republican party
reaped the benefit, and practically had
walk-over. But now things are diff
fereut and hepro-pects for Democratic
success were never Fighter.
The radical questions of silver and
gold do not strictly belong to Il State
campaign, and especially when such u
discussion would mean the same con-
tentiun and misfortuues that beset the
party in 1896. Much of the intense
feeling on both sides has died away
and it would be folly to bring the mat
TER to AN intense focus IN campaign
preceding the national election, when
no one knows what issues will he pro.
claimed as the ones upon which the
candidates will 60 before the people.
When that time comes The party will
be- prepared to abide by them.
As to the Philippine question, that
is one that the Republicans themselves
are divided upon. Their greatest
statesmen denounce the policy Of the
administration in nmislakable terms,
many times more stringent than our
platform declares itself. But the
opinion Of the ciIizens of the State is
we'll known on this subject. No word
ing in any platform, either Democrat
or Republican can change it. There
may be faults found with our State
platform, not only in what it presents
as well IL what it fails to Include, but
W. venture to predict that very few
votes will be changed either way on
that account.
The Republican party in Maryland
see the approach Of the storm that will
sweep them from power and they seek
to bring forward and agitate the ques-
tions that split the Democratic party
in the past, hoping that the same
thing will happen next fall No such
thing will happen. Our standard
bearers are men whom all can rally
around and support All factions viii
unite and elect them 10y a large major
ity. Our Republican friends had bet
ter look TO their own fences and not
waste time picking weak pots in ours.

lT will be an interesting moment
when the two great Admrals-Dewey
and Schley-greet each other. Both
have astonished the world by their
great naval achievements and on tn, m
rests the credit If having been the
chief factors in ending the war with
Spain. Any country which can sink
an enemy's entire fleet with the loss of
only one man is truly great, and the
same quality extends to the victorious
commanders. Dewey is on his trium.
phant way home from the Philippines.
Everywhere he has been worthiiy re-
ceived and honored 1t VII remain
for his own people TO turn out when he
arrives and give him that welcome
that only can come from his native
countrymen. Admiral Schley has
gone through with what now awaits
Dewey. Each is held in high regard
by all, except where Sampson pxrti-
sans have attempted to belittle the
work of Schley at Santiago. 1t is to
be hoped that both the great sea fighters
will be tog, ther in New York during
the reception exercises and that every
tribute to their bravery and accom-
pl'shments will be shown them.
1t would be truly a novel sight
to see two such noted characters TO-
gether-one the victor over the Span
ish fleetat Manila and the other the
hero of Santiago Bay.
