n,,ssu,dsd Democrat. in aary,ana.

The handful of Sound Money Demo-
Gratis in Maryland who have united in
manifesto announcing their intention
of supporting the Republican ticket at
the election next month, and calling
upon all Sound Money Democrats to
join them, have acted in an exceedingly
impolitic and impractical manner.
Their course will do harm to the
cause OF the Sound Money Democratic
party.
The excuse of the signers of this
manifesto that Democratic victory IN
Maryland at the coming election will
give encouragement to Bryan and
Organism, does not apply to the
situation. This is a state campaign
in Maryland, pure and simple. State
officials, local officials and members OF
the Legislature aie to he elected. The
Democratic platform deals with local
issues almost exclusively, and does not
mention the Chicago platform or free
silver coinage.
Whether Bryan may be pleased or
displeased at tho Democratic victory
in Maryland next month is matter
with which Sound Money Democrats
have nothing to do. As fact, how
ever, it is hard to SEQ how he can de-
rive comfort from Democratic VIC
tory on u platform that ignores free
silver coinage and anarchy, when
Maryland gave Mckinley majority of
over 32, 900 against Bryan and Bryan
ism in 1896.
In addition, the Democratic candi-
dates for State offices IN Maryland this
year are men who have never sub
scribed to the heresy of free silver
coinage and anarchy. Col. John Walter
Smith, the nominee for governor, was
elected to Congress from the First dis
trict, in 1898, with a Free Silver
Democratic candidate against him.
His colleagues are equally loyal to the
cause of honest money. For Sound
Money Democrats to oppose such can
didates savors strongly of political
lunacy.

liminary injunction restraining William

tracted with Mr.. Merritt for building
the first section Of about 20 miles. from

did not comply with his contract, and
the company was obliged to finish the
work after he had completed half of it.
The company claims that it owes
Mr.. Merritt nothing, nevertheless Mr.,
Merritt has sued 1t for $50, 600, and
about 10 OF his creditors have laid
attachments in the oompany's hands.
The Injunction was asked to stop the
suits until the merits OF the con-
troversy could be determined by pro.
ceedings in equity. Mr.. Merritt is of
Easton, Pa. Taylor & Keech and j. +.

M. Paul Leroy -Beaulieu in the De-
bats comments on the French budget
for 1900 with tone of alarm. II the
future of French finance consists, he
says, in spending each year 35, ,0oc, COG
flames more than in the preceding year
French prosperity is bound to succumb.
All nations, it is said, are constantly
doing the same thing-increasing ex-
penditure. But whatever other patious
do, France, NJ. Leroy Beaulieu argues,
cannot atfold it. Her budget is 800, :
GOO, COO francs more than Eneland's.
though England has 1000, GOO more of
population and is propably 10 or 20 nei
cent richer. The increase of expendi-
ture on the French Navy is pronounced
wholly indefensible, yet ll,Oo0, 600
francs more are to be snent on the
navy in 1900 than in 1893. France, ;,
says the writer. fought to have first.
class army, but she need not have a
first-ciass navy. II France had a war
with England the Sahara Rail
way would be more effective instru-
ment for the defense of her colonies

McKinley's Hyprocrisy.

1.-THE shedding Of blood is anguish
to my SOUL" said Mckinley In one OF
his Western speeches, alluding to the
wal in the Philippine Islands. 1t is
nothing of the sort. II he felt any
anguish over the matter he would end
the war at once. 1t is his war, entered
upon without the authority of Congress
and against the Constitution Of the
United States, which vests in Congr ess
alone the power to declare war.
1t is an inhuman war, also. 1t is
waged against people who have been
fighting bravely for three centuries for
liberty and independence, and who are
as much entitled to attempt the ex-
pertinent of self government as were
tho people who fought tho Amer lean
Revolution to successful issue. And
MoKinley's unauthorized and unjustifi-
able war against these people sets at
nanght the principles of our Declara-
tion of Independence, and makes US a
nation of falsifiers.
Anguish to his soul - indeed. Such
an expression indicts Mckinley Of
iank hypocrisy.

License and Liquor Drinking.


A recent compilation of statistics
from the lao cities in the country
which have population of $4,000 OF
more, made by the Department OF Labor
reveals some interesting facts and some
rather startling Inconsistencies.
Springfield, Mass, Manchester, N.
H., and Utica. N. ", have each about
60,0Oo inhabitants. Utica is under the
Raines law, Springfield under the high
license system Of Massachusetts,, and
Manchester under nominal prohibition.
The Now Hampshire city has no legal
saloons, while Springfield has AZ and
Utica 252. But Manchester has had
l,d16 arrests for drunkenness during
the past year, while Springfield had
l.93l. Still more remarkable is the
record of only 765 arrests in Utica, OF
only about half as many as in SPRING
field, although there are more than five
times as many saloons
Almost as anomalous is the showing
of only 3s3 arrests in Dayton, o., with
400 saloons and $1,000 people. while
Hartford, Conn, with 1900 people
and but 2l9 saloons, reported 2,46o.
To reconcile these Inconsistencies will
be task for the student Of statistics.
Boss Quay will have a hard and
rocky road to travel before he walks
into the United States Senate by way
of an appointment to the existing
vacancy from Governor Stone. Not
only is precedent against him, but his
own record. In the cases of Mantle of
Montana, Beckwith of Wyoming. Cor
hett of Oregon and Allen Of Washing
ton, all of whom were appointed by
the governors of their respective States
after the Legislatures had failed to
elect, Quay uniformly voted against
seating them. How can he expect the
Senate to do for him, what it refused,
and with the support of his vote, TO do
for the others?
A bigamist arrested in Chicago faced
four of his wives in court, and during

that he had married at least forty
four women in various parts of the
