If the Republican managers had any doubt as to
the prospects of Democratic success nextNovember
those doubts were thoroughly removed by the re-
democrats swept Indiana like cyclone. Every
where the Democratic majorities were increased;
everywhere the Republican vote fell of Towns
which have been reliably Republican for years were
engulfed by the Democratic tide. Through the gas
belt which has been Republican stronghold the
Democratic gains were enormous. Anderson, the
home of the Republican candidate for governor al
ways Il reliable Republican city, was captured by
the Democrats after fierce battle. All the ndica-
tions are that Bryan will sweep the state in Novem
Der by the largest Democratic majority since the
DAYS of Hendricks and "Blue Jeans" Williams. In
MINES Jta the city of st. Paul went Democratic by
l5OO reversing the majority of over 5000 which 1t
gave Mckinley in 1896. Minneapolis elected
Democratic mayor in 1898. making even more
marked Charge from the vote of 1896. All signs
point to this state supporting Bryan in November.

David Ward, pioneer, capitalist, lumber
man and owner of fortune of upwards of
S25, 900, 600, died Tuesday, at his home in

York.
Fred l.. Newton, the former teller of the
Fidelity Trust and Guaranty Company, of
Buffalo, who embezzled S4S, 600 of the bank s
funds, pleaded guilty and has been sentened
to six years in prison.
For the first time on record the Gear invited
the members of the British Embassy at ST.
Petersburg to dinner ON the occasion of the
Queens birthday last week. The innovation
is regarded as great political significance.
Al Woodbury., n. j., on Monday, number
of negroes presented themselves at the Wal
nut street public school, with their children,
and demanded that they be entered as students.
The teachers denied the children admission
and the case will be taken to the courts for trial.
The Chinese Government is making some
attempts to check the movement Of the Box
ers ut Pekin. The streets are quiet, but the
country is in state of terror so far as the
native Christians are concerned. Many Prot
estants and Catholic refugees are fleeing to
Pekln for protection.
Frank Jones, colored, was shot by Edward
Fowler, also eolored, during quarrel on a
lot near the corner of North and Bath streets,
Baltimore, Tuesday night. Jones was shot in
the neck, near the main artery, and had a
close cali for his life. Fowler was arrested
aud committed for court.
The electrical workers strike spread TO the
telephone linemen Tuesday employed by the
two telephone companies, who went en- strike
because the companies refused to accede to
their request for an increase of twenty five
cents day of nine hours. This swells the
number of electrical workers on strike to 4l5
| men. Baltimore was dark again last night,
only a few arc lights being lighted.
Charles Perry, colored. confessed 10 the
Philadelphia (Pa.) police that when Prof.
Roy Wilson White was murdered on the night
of May 10, he was about 100 feet away from
the scene ready TO warn Stirling and Ivory,
his accompices, should any one approach.
Stirling, he AYERS, struck the fatal blows,
while Ivory stood close by. Only ring aud
watch were taken from the lifeless body.
The former was retained by Stirling and the
latter was taken by Perry, from whom it was
stolen, he says, by Charles Smith, his room
mate, last Monday. Ivory corroborated Per.
rvs statement, but Stirling strenuously denied
any knowledge Of the tragedy. and insisted
that he did not know either of the other Two
prisoners.

First Congressional District.

The first congressional district is composed
of the Eastern Shore except Cecil county,
which belongs to the second district. In the
first district there is u vacancy, and the prob
ability is that the Democrats will nominate
some one to I'll out the term, which expires
the 4th of next March. Then there will be
nominee for a full term of two years.
The first district is Democratic and proper
nominees will be elected. There appears TO
be plethora of candidates, and the danger
to Democratic success lies in this. Compe-
tent men can be found in every county, but
as several have already been given good posi-
tons those without any should be accorded
congressional honors. Caroline has the Chief
of Industrial Bureau, Queen Anne's State
Fire Marshal, Wicomico Land Commissioner.
and Worcester the Governor, Insurance Com
missioner and n Fish Commissioner. This
leaves Kent, Talbot, Dorcester and Somerset
without any general appointments. 1t would
seem at this distance these are the counties
to be considered in selecting congressional
candidates. Joshua W. Miles, of Somerset,
has served term in Congress and made a
good representative. W. Laird Henry, Of
Dorchester, served part of term with credit.
Col. Oswald Tighman and Frank Turner, oil
Talbot, are good congressional timber, and
in Kent there are Ex-Comptroller Marion
deK. Smith, Harrison W. Vickers, WIN. B.
Usilton, Judge Alfred Pearce and Hope FL.
Barroll, all available men. By distributing
honors better results will be obtained, and the
congressional candidates would aid the cleo
toral ticket. In the electoral ticket all the
state is interested, and in this respect the
whole state feels an interest in congressona

This is very gratifying to the manufacturer
and looks well for the prosperity OF the coun-
try. But appearances are decelvlns' Inns
"unparalleled record" is at the expense OF
the people of the United States. A high tar
if ON imports shuts out foreign competition
here, and enables the American manufacturer
TO charge excessive profits. The excessive
profits gathered in the home market enables
the manufacturer to compete in the foreign
markets. Nearly all, if not all, American
manufactures are sold to foreigners, freight,
foreign tariffs aud insurance paid, lower than
to citizens of this country. Sewing Ma
chimes that the manufacturers charged from
$40 to $50 in the home market, were sold Tor
$40 to $25 in the foreign market. Flows that
were once sold to the home farmer at Sl2,
were sold to Mexicans at S.. All other man
ufactures were and are sold about in the same
ratio to home people and foreigners The
profits of the manufacturers are mainly reaped
from home people; foreigners are charged but
small margin of profit.
If the manufacturers deny this, and claim
that they can compete, with profit, in the for
eign market, let them give some good reason
for the government maintaining a tariff on
goods such as cur manufacturers export. As
long as our manufacturers can export goods
at profit, no foreign manufacturer can send
his wares to this country. This being true,
the government derives no revenue from the
import tax, and the only result of tariff on
imports is to enable the American manutac
turer to charge excessive profits to home con

nominees.

James r. Keene, of New York, a many times
millionaire, and leading figure in Wall
street, supported Mckinley in 1896 and con-
tributed forty thousand dollars to the Repub
hcan campaign fund. MIR. Keene is now for
Bryan. He is known as man who has al
ways reasons for the faith that is in him, and
his stand for Bryan has caused something OF
a damper on Republican hopes of success in
New York. At a recent dinner at belmont
co.'s, an ardent Mckinley. supporter spoke
very confidently of McKinley's election, and
offered to make a wager on it. Mr.. Keene,
who was present. astonished the McKinleyite
and the whole party by offering TO take up the
wager, as he rarely ever makes wagers, and
because he was u Mckinley supporter four
years ago. The McKinleyite desired to make
the bet two 10 one on Mckinley, and Mr..
Keene sprang another surprise by declining to
bet that way, and proposed TO put up $500
to $4,000 that Bryan would defeat Mckinley.
The McKinleyite called npon several of his
friends to go into partnership with him. and
the money was posted.

Crops in Oklahoma.

A letter received in New York from a prom.
inent bank in Kansas says: The wheat crop
in Oklahoma is made, and harvesting com
menced with an excellent quality and an
acreage 20 per cent. greater than last year
A large area of corn has been planted and is
in fine condition. The great rains have al
ready insured the grass crop and early veget-
ables. Our wheat crop in Kansas is a little
late, but has never been in better conditi on
than it is now. We have a 100000 acre
crop with all conditions unequalled. The
acreage of corn put in is estimated at $500,
600. 1t will probably be 10000, 900. Our
tame grass crop is virtually made. So far
this season has been very promising. Fruit
and vegetables of all kinds are very plenty
and fine. Cattle have wintered we'll; sheep,
ditto. The wool crop is being now clipped
and marketed at Is aud 20 cents per pound
in the rough, as against q to 8 in 1896. An
old farmer remarks that with present prices
of wool, an honest man could look sheep in
the face.

A Secret Understanding.

Senator Wellington made notable speech
in the Senate on Monday. In advocating the
passage of resolution of sympathy for the
Beers, in their unequal struggle with the
mightiest nation of Europe, he took occasion
to denounce England as an enemy OF the
United States. She was too weak, said the
Senator, to attack us with force, and she was
getting control and advantage 70 us by diplo-
macy and pretended friendship. In the course
of his remarks Senator Wellington expressed
deep conviction that there was secret un-
Outstanding between England and the Nc
Kinley Administration. This brought Sena-
tor Lodge, of Massachusetts,, to the defence
of the Administration, but Senator Yelling
