With the coming election for Cover
nor aud other officers in the State Of
Maryland, we wan. to call the attention
of the great Marylrnd Oyster Industry
to the fact that it is their duty to care
fully consider which party has lookes
after their interest, and which party il
the future is going to do it. Bot
parties are promising anything an,
everything just at present to secure your
vote, but to get at the real situation you
must 60 back few years and consider
who have lived up to its promises,
whether it has been the Democrats or
the Republicans
Prior to 1896 when the German
Raisln Ring was in control at Annapolis
and legislation was bought and sold to
the highest bidder how many of their
promises made before the election were
kept? Your bills that were presented
year after year, were with few except
ions trampled under foot and when you
reminded them of their promises and
planks in their platform for your pro-
lection yos were laughed at and told SIS
Mr. German once said party platforms
wers made to get in on and not to stand
on"
Compare this past with the admins
trAtion of Governor Lowndes and What
will you find? You will find the Re-
publican psrty has redeemed its every
promise, and even more, il has done
more than it promised
Take the oyster interests ia particular
the most important industry in the State
except possibly farming, which gives
employment to thousands of people.
1t has been the policy of the Republican
party to father this industry in every
possible way and to protect it from any
and all entertainments upon its hered-
itary rights and with this end in view
the platform of the Republican party
contains the following plank on this i'm
portant subject;
The oyster and crab industry gives
employment and support to large art
of the population of Maryland, therefore
We declare our opposition to all efforts
to deprive the people of thex ind, pen
dent and ancient rights to a full and
unabridged use of the oyster and crab
bottoms in the tidewater Of this State.

support The Party Loyalty.


But a few more days intervene be-
tween now and the election, so the un-
decided voter has but little time left to
cogitats over the question as to how he
will vote. The election is an important
one, and every voter should vote one
way or the other So much has been
written and said as to the capabilities of
the respective candidates and as to what
tbey represent that rehash of the same
would be ptosy We will be permitted,
however, to say briefly by way Of co n
parison, that the Democratic ticket
represents the old order of things-Gor-
man Rasin, nothing more nor less.
Stump speakers may deny the charge,
and an undecided press, NAV, 10 de-
sire to cover its position in the pending
campaign, argue to the contrary. but sill
the fact remains. Smith and his CO.
candidates may do well enough, if elect
ed, and let alone But they will not be
let alone Their show of victory
is hopeless without the aid and substan-
tai support of the Gorman-Rasin ring,
and the latter who play politics for selfish
gain alone cannot be expected to turn
the scale in favor of the Democratic
ticket unless there is something in it for
them. Any contention to the contrary
is the sheerest nonsense, idle and absurd
This, therefore, is one side cf the stu l.
ton, how about the other sidel There
is hope, based upon uDdeniabls acts, for
better things unde- a continuation of sic
Republican rule. The truth of the
homely a1age, 1.-THE proof Of the pull
ding is in eating it, is clearly exempli-
fed in the latter case We have tried
the present management Of our State
affairs, and they have given us clean
and good government. Coming into
power under trying circumstances, it
could not, in reason be expected, that i
perfect reform could have been worked
out in 50 short time as two years-fo7
we have practically only had control ID
the entire State government for two
years, the Senate OF the General Assem-
bly, being Democratic until 1898. but We
have some improvements much i'm
provement; and having kept faith with
the people in that respect, good common
sense suggests that in the interest oil
still further improvement the Repubi-
can State ticket should be elected
How about our county ticket? Much
di satisfaction exists at the manner il
which the ticket was nominated. The
hand of the boss in the making of the
nominations was very irritating. One
man did it all. The ticket is not the
shoice Of the party There are men
upon it, who have been unfaithful to the |
party principles-untrue in fealty to the
party organization; therefore, to labor for
he success of such a ticket is a painful

GUNS THAT DON'T KILL,

Guns have plenty of uses apart from
killing. For instance, the signal gun
of a ship is intended solely for an
nouncing her arrival on a coast.
Again, in desert countries, where wa
ter is difficult to collect out of mere
dampness of sand, a gun barrel sunk
into the ground will collect moisture
in the bore, and many life has been
saved by timely suck at the muzzle.
In many an English town the /
O'Clock gun fired by electricity from
Greenwich observatory is used for set
ting all the clocks; while the minute
guns are fired for public mourning and
national rejoicings take the form of a
royal salute.
A SLAYER captured with a cargo of
slaves in the tropics was put in charge
of a prize crew. On her voyage the wa

This set one of the marines-a SER
geant-thinking, and he hit upon q
brilliant idea.
After gaining reluctant consent from
the captain he took all the available
gun-barrels. plugged up the breech-
ends of a few of them, filed their
bores with sea-water, and set them end
up among the Goals Of the galley-fr

IN THE SOUTH SEAS.

BY Frank T. Bullen. in "The Cruise
Of the Cachalot": When between Cos
moledos and Astove, the next island to
the northward, we sighted solitary"
cachalot one morning just as the day
dawned. 1t was the first for some time
nearly three weeks-and being well
seasoned to the work now, we obeyed
the call to arms with great alacrity.
Our friend was making a passage, turn
ing neither to the right hand nor the
left as he went. His rising and num-
Der of spouts while up, as we'll as the
time he remained below, were as reg
ular as the progress of a clock, and
could be counted upon with quite as
much certainty.
Bearing in mind, I suppose. the gen.
eral character Of the whales we had
recently met with, only two boats were
lowered to attack the newcomer, who,
all unconscious of our coming, pursued
his leisurely course unheeding.
We got a good weathergage OF him,
and came flying on as usual, getting
two irons planted in fine style. But a
surprise awaited us. AS we sheered up
into the wind away from him. Louis
shouted: "Fightin' whale, sir; look
out for de rush!" Look out, indeed!
Small use in looking out when, ham
pered as we always were at first with
the unshipping Of the mast, we could
do next to nothing to avoid him. With
out any of the desperate aounderings
generally INDUCED in on first feeling
the iron, he turned upon us, and had
it not been that he caught sight of the
second mates boat, which had just ar
rived, and turned his attention to her,
there would have been but scant
chance Of any escape for us. Leaping
half out of the water, he made direct
for our comrades with a vigor and fe-
rocity marvellous to see, making 1t no
easy matter for them to avoid his tre-
mendous rush. Our actions, at no time
slow, were considerably fastened by
his display Of valor, so that before
he could turn his attention in our d.
rection we were ready for him. Then
ensued really big fight, the first. in
fac, of my experience, for none Of the
other whales had shown any serious
determination to do us an injury, but
had devoted all their energies to at
tempts at escape. So quick were the
evolutions, and so savage the appear
ance Of this fellow, that even our vet
eran mate looked anxious as to the
possible result. Without attempting 10
sound the furious monster kept mostly
below the surface; but whenever he
rose, it was either to deliver a fearful
blow with his tail, or, with Jaws wide
spread, to try and bite one Of our boats
