Boss RAsIN is once more in thesaddle in Bal
timore city and he is again ruling the Demo-
cratic party with a rod of iron. When the
old city and State bosses were thrown down
by the election of Governor Lowndes and o
Republican Legislature it was thought those
men who had dominated the politics of this
State so many years had been driven from
power for all time, but subsequent events
have proved the contrary. Mr.. Rasin is again
the ruler in Baltimore city and many of the
old State gang are back at their posts

CHARLES E. KEY, Democratic politician
of Baltimore city, is betting even money that
Mckinley will carry Maryland and is offering
$500 to 500 that he will be elected. Betting
proves nothing and we would not advise any
body TO indulge in it. but when Democratic
Spores put their money on republican candi-
dates it may be regarded as a very significant
straw
RENEGADE WELLINGTON is back from a tour
of the West and says Maryland is sure for
Bryan by large majority. Wellington has
heretofore shown what sort of aprophet he is.
One month ago it did look as though Bryan
might carry this State, but the outlook is very
different today Some astute judges now say
that Mckinley will carry Maryland by a
majority ranging from ten to twenty five
thousand.

TRUE CRAFTSMANSHIP JUSTIFIED.

Considerable commotion occurred at the
time of the adoption of the Porto Rico tariff.
Many did not understand the situation and
much iIIfounded criticism was expended upon
the position of the President.
Nov comes the complete justification Of his
acts, and a palpable demonstration of the
statesmanlike wisdom Of his course, approved
as it was all along by the intelligent people Of
that island, and shown by its results to have
been, in effect, the moral and material saliva
ton of that recent addition to our population.
1t is known, of course, as Mr.. Mckinley ex-
planned in his letter of acceptance, that goods
coming from or going into Porto Rico, not
longer than March, 1902 pay tariff OF 10
per cent. of the rates under the Dingley act,
and that the duties thus paid and collected.
both in Porto Rico and the United States, are
turned over to the government of the island.
which was set up by Congress, and no part
whatever is taken by the National Govern
ment.
All the duties collected have gone into its
treasury to relieve the destitute, for schools
and for other public purposes. All duties col
lected from November '9S, up to June 80. 1900,
amounted to about two and a-quarter millions
of dollars. 1t was a pointless joke of Mr..
Bryan when he declared in speech some
weeks ago, that IF the Democrats had a so
cent dollar the Republicans had IS cent men
in Porto Rico.'
Prof. Jacob H. Hollander, of the Johns
Hopkins University, man of broad learning
and high character, who has made specially
of economic studies, was appointed treasurer
of the Island of Porto Rico when its home
government was organized. He is now in
Baltimore on q visit, and this is what he COM
municated to the papers of the operations Of
the tariff:
IT can imagine nothing more uncalled for
than the wave of emotionalism that swept the
United States over the Porto Rican tariff meas
ure. 1t was as creditablc to sentiment as it was
discreditable to common sense. The measure
was a godsend to the people of the island, and
the cry against it in the United States found no
echo in Porto Rico. 1t has been the means of
helping the natives to get upon their feet, SO to
speak. and has done all that those who advocated
it in Congress claimed it would do
Had 1t not been passed one of two things
would have been the inevitable result-a bur-
densome internal tax on the people, or a sub
sidy from the United States. The first would
have been too heavy to carry; the other alter
native would have made the islanders wards of
charity, and would have further encouraged
them in idleness. From practical demonstra-
tion of the operations of the act. am more
than convinced of the wisdom of the measure.
'Since it went into effect, along with the
Porto Rican civil bill, the affairs of Porto Rico
are being slowly but surely put into good shape.
''As to the finances of the island. would say
that in the place of deficiency we now have
surplus in the Treasury of about $35O.OO0 a most
encouraging omen"
Another triumph of Republican statesman
ship and more Democratic criticism wasted

THE COLE DEMOCRATS of Maryland, who as.

Legislature in this State last year have reor-
ganized and will do everything in their power
to bring about Republican success this year.
When they rallied to the support of Gov.
Smith they announced that if the Democratic
National Convention made the financial ques-
ton an ISSUE they would duplicate their posi-
ton of 1896. And they have kept their word.

"a few days ago." said a clubman.
al received small jar filled with a pe-
culiar brownish paste. which was sent
me as a present by young Chinaman
who used to have laundry here, but
Is now living ia San Francisco. A let
ter which accompanied the gift ex-
planned that the paste was a combina-
tion of peanut buds and ginger Jelly.
That sounds like joke, but it isn't.
'If you will break open the kernel of
a peanut, you will find at the base a lit
tie cone shaped formation usually sur
mounted by two microscopic leaves.
1t is the life germ of the nut, and If
planted would develop into a tree. AS
my friend Wong explained to me, the
nuts are first roasted and then these
minute growths are carefully extract
ed. They are so small it takes manv
thousands of them to fill a teacup. but
when a sufficient number are collected
they are put in a mortar and ground
into fine -four, which is subsequently
mixed with the ginger jelly and rubbed
down to a smooth paste.
THAT sent me was about the consist
ency of cream cheese, and it had a
peculiar aromatic taste that was rather
pleasant. 1t is one of the queer semi
cOnfections that the Chinese like to

His wife was very anxious about
him and felt certain that he would
fall a victim to smallpox, which was
reported to be prevalent in the city to
which he was going. She begged him
to carry a little lump of asafetida in
his pocket TO ward off cOntagion.
Naturally he objected and positively
refused to be made the permanent
abode of such a persistent odor.

Boston boy who got into the habit of
teasing his mother for pennies until at
last she said to him: Now, Willie, l
don't like to give you pennies. If you
want money, you should go to work
and earn it,"
The boy remained thoughtful for
some time. Then within a few days
the mother perceived that Willie had
plenty of pennies. She wondered a
bit where he got them, but did not
question him. But one summer day
she noticed that some sort of a hula
baloo was going ON in the back yard.
Looking out, she saw Willie surround
ed by mob of boys who were yelling
with delight. She went down into the
yard to see what was going on, and as
she passed out she saw stuck up on the
back wall of the house this notice,

DIAMOND R0BBER.
An Innocent Looking Stranger
Makes Big Haul.
Seized Three Diamond Rings Mt Alfricui s.
Companys Store at c.so o'clock Last
Night and Escaped in the Crowd on tho
Street.

About $50 O'Clock last night a
stranger entered the store of Alfriend
q Co.. on Main street, near Cranky,
and asked to look at some diamond
rings There were a number OF Gus
toners scattered throughout the store
at the time and u number of the en-
ployees of the firm were on duty.
The stranger said he was about to
leave the city and wished TO purchase
diamond ring before he left. He was
waited on by MIR. James L. Bennar,
manager OF the jewelry department of
the store. IL Is not customary TO show
many valuable rings at n time but two
or three are often displayed at a time
TO permit of comparison.
Mr.. Bennar showed the man one
3-carat solitaire diamond ring. valued
at $500: one 2-stone diamond ring
valued at $3.50. and Il second 2h karat
solitaire diamond ring worth $3.50. The
man looked the rings over for about
ten minutes, asking as to their 'rcla-
tive vaiue. purity. etc. lie then took
the rings and stepped across the store
saying that he wished to examine them
in better light. AS he moved away
from Mr.. Bcnnar he made II dash for
the door and escaped into Main street.
AS the man ran for The door MIR
Bennar. who had been watching him.
attempted to climb over the high par
tition at the front OF the store that is
between the show case on The west side
and the entrance. Finding the parti-
ton difficult to scale he turned back
and ran around from behind the coun-
ter. being Joined in The pursuit by
others. As MIR. Bcnnar reached the
street he saw the man dashing along
toward CRANKY.
AT the time two passing street cars
had partially congesied travel at the
corner of Main and Granny streets and
there was a. crowd Of about nfty peo-
was lost in the crowd anu all trace Of
him was at once lost
The police department was at once
notified of the robbery and an officer
was sent to the Norfolk and Western
depot to watch outgoing trains Oihor
precautions were also promptly made
to prevent his escape by other railway
or steamship lines.
