The action OF the Nicaragua govern

The Costa Riean government still
recognizes the concession OF the Mari.

how the arbitrator appointed by Presi-
dent Zelayaya may decide the protest
OF the company, Nicaragua will stand
bound either by the concession Of that
company or that held by the Eyre
Cragin syndicate.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate

There is but one way to cure it.

MORE IVHITEW.4SH.

There has been great deal OF
righteous indignation in the past few
weeks on account of the United States
Government coming so literally to the
relief of Wall street. No matter what
tangle they would get themselves into,
by all kinds of illicit speculation, the
Government Treasury has been wide
open to relieve the money stress when
any of the favorites got into corner.
Ordinary mortals with a few Thousand
dollars we're compelled to stand the
squeeze and be wiped out of existence,
while the favored few, who bad the
ear of the administration could at any
time call on the ever obliging Uncle
Sam for few millions, more or less,
to enable them to cover their corners.
The last time they got into hole the
ever accommodating Secretary OF the
Treasury, Lyman j. Gage, went on
the market and purchased S25, 900, O0u
of government bonds, paying therefor
q handsome bonus, all of which went
into the pockets of the bondholders.
This action elected for Mr.. Gage from
Mr.. Russell Sage the title of a Public
Benefactor," which remark, by the
way, is almost enough to cause the
Sphinx to smile, coming from such q
heartless bloodsucker.
To cap the climax. however, the
Secretary of the Treasury has recently
decided to deposit all Of the receipts
from internal revenue amounting tc
nearly a million dollars day with the
National City Bank of New York
What would the honored and revered
Andrew Jackson think of such thing
If he were living, and what would he
do with these money changers in the
temple. Who would have dared tc
attempt to make private corporation
OF thu National Treasury butthe sordit
set of men who today are at the head
of the finances of the country. 1t is
true that a Congressional inquiry has
been ordered, but we predict that the
same barrel Of whitewash which Wa'
used for Eagan and Alger will AGAR
come into play and the people will
soon have it on record that Gage ant
Hanna are two of the greatest public
benefactors the world has ever pro
duced. We cannot do anything abou
it, our hands are tied and the knott
are being drawn tighter every day
Money is king and greed has unlimited
sway. If any one dares to open hi
mouth off goes his head, and day by
day the rich become richer and tn,
poor poorer.
There is only one relief and that il
the ballot. 1t is only q question o
time when that too will be white wash
ed, but before it is too late let all poo
men in the country stand together ant
wipe out Mckinley and his whole Sc
of followers. Vote the Democratic
ticket, no matter who is on it. Satal
himself could not be any worse o
have less regard for the poor man thar
the present administration.

wholesale bribery of the Spanish
officials and yet that same thing is
suffered to pass unnoticed within our
very borders. There should be IL
vigilance committee appointed with
full power to punish offenders if they
cannot be reached in the ordinary
ways of justice. Lobbying however,
would never exist unless there was
someone to be lobbied with and the
odium should be cast upon those men
who will violate the sanctity of their
oath by accepting questionable re-
tanners. The first thing to be done il
to abolish the lobby.

GOVERNOR SMITH s INAUGURAL
ADDRESS.

John Walter Smith was inaugurated
Governor of Maryland on Wednesday
with simple, but very impressive cere-
monies. There was an immense as
semblage present and his address
was listened to with marked interest.
After reviewing the past four years
of Republican rule aud without COM
ment on the way the affairs of State
have been conducted, he alludes TO
the fact that every branch of the
government has again been placed
into Democratic hands. This re.
sponsibility" he said, I'VE asked the
people to give US. They have com.
piled with our request, We must see
TO it, that they shall not be disap.
pointed. We have promised them
good government. They have taken
us at our word. and have trusted us
again. We promised them a clean
honest, business administration
They have said that they believed
what we promised.
We pledged ourselves to measures
of reform desired by the people; re
form as to the police system of Balti
more city; reform as to the system Of
| public e&ucation; reform as to bri
berry in elections; reform as to methods
in legislation. These are things,
say, we have promised the people
They are entitled to them. They
must and shall have them, il it car
be made possible by me. The Demo
cratic party has no disposition to is
more them; but l wish to take thil
public opportunity to impress upo1
the members of the Senate and Hous,
of Delegates the expediency of promp
and successful, action in carrying GU
the promises made during the cam
paign."
His speech was manly declaration
delivered in his clear, forcible ant
convincing style and there was no
one of his auditors but who wa
satisfied that these promises would
be carried out. If the party will fol
low his straightforward utterance
the voters will feel we'll compensated
for the change they have made ant
united efforts by the party can blu
rebound to the lasting good of TIN
whole State.

The war in South Africa seems to
be dra wing to head, SO to speak.
The days Of long range fighting have
apparently come to an end and the
latest information 10 that the Boer
forces have commenced q determined
attack upon Ladysmith. General
Butler sent General Clery, one of the
most successful of his commands, to
attack Colenso, but the expedition
failed to accomplish its purpose. The
British have abandoned Dordrecht,
Cape Colony. One Of the Boer lead
ers predicts that the war will last at
least another year, and that il the
Beers are defeated in battle, they will
resort to guerrills tactics.
