Abe Lincolnss nose Is no guiding
point for the coiored voter this year.
1t was the Republican Party that
first raised howl about the race is
-sue.
Remember in voting the Democrat
ic ticket you are voting to uphold
white supremacy.
The Republicans always claim the
victory before election day, and the
Democrats usually afterward.
II nothing else shows the wish OF
Democrats TO stop bribery, the pas
sage of. the new election law shows
it. Then vote for them.
Do not forget that in voting the
Democratic ticket, you vote to up
hold the greatest incentive To i'm
proved Intelligence in the masses of
our people.
What is the difference between a
republican politician and burglar?
Answer The former operates with
the darks," while the latter oper-
ateS ia the dark.
A colored man remarked the other
day that he was done voting. In
quiring why, he said: Now dan ole
Abe Linkin has got of de ticket. /
see nuthin 70 vote far. !"
1t is always the man that has re-
ceived the most from the Democratic
party that is first to cry out: ''De-
feat the Democratic Ticket. And
WHY Because he happens not to be
on the ticket.
A great many astute, practical
political workers candidly state that
the present election law strikes the
hardest blow ever aimed at bribery.
For this every patriotic citizen should
feel grateful.

The entire stock in trade of the
Republican party is abuse of Mr..
German. Mr. McComas attempts to
humbug the people by declaring that
the Democrats who are deprived Of
voting this fall should blame the
Democratic managers. He does. not
tell them how his party attempted to
get an increased vote In the South
ern Maryland counties by the big
gest fraud ever attempted in this
State. Senator McComas does not
speak of negro colonization nor Of.

Before another issue of the BEA-
con the battle of the ballots will have
been fought and won. In many re-
spects the present contest is unique
one. The color line is more closely
drawn than il has ever yet been in
this State and section. Prior to 1900,
while the colored vote was compare
lively solid for the republican party,
yet there was a small percentage OF
il that for divers reasons voted the
democratic ticket. In the congress-
ional campaign Of 1900 the repuhli-
cans raised the battle cry Of the
"disfranchisement Of the negro" and
ON this issue the colored vote was
solidified. At the regular session
Of the Legislature the question of
the passage OF new Election Law,
il is true, had been discussed, but
nothing was done. In fact a large
element Of the democratic party was
at the time much opposed. to any
such measure. But, after finding
out in the caIapaign of 1900 that un-
justly and unAirly all the odium of
such a course had been charged
upon the party by the republican
leaders and that blindly the colored
voters had accepted their statements,
when the Extraordinary Session was
called the democrats determined TO
take up the gauntlet and the result
is the present election law.
The passage of that law, abolish
ing as IL does the ballot clerks and
taking away the opportunity they
afforded politicians to know that
what they paid for they got, restricts
immeasurably the field for bribery
and affords every intelligent man an
opportunity to vote secretly. II was
believed that in a measure, at least,
it would also eliminate the dangerof
prejudiced and credulous negroes
controlling the political desti-
MES of the State while ID would work
no harm to the capable and thought
full.
At any rate the new law has given
the democratic party in Southern
Maryland new vigor il has actedas
a revivifying elixir aid has put the
party on its feet for winning fight.
Had no such law been passed, un-
doubtedly, in this section at least
there would today be no fight put
up against the republican cohorts.
Democrats cannot fail to appreciate
this fact.
The democrats are not responsible
for the color line SO sharply drawn
In this canvass. The party has
simply tired of turning the other
cheek" and instead, having time and
again complied with the Scriptural
injunction is now giving blow for
blow. The black man having array
ed himself on the republican side
need not be surprised at finding
himself confronted by line of de-
termined white men who will con-
test the issue made to the bitterend.
The black mans political course
towards his white democratic neigh
Dor has undoubtedly provoked
hostility which can tend onlyt
prive him of advantages am
that he would otherwic - w

spoke and voted for the Force Bill.

Republican legislation made Trusts
possible and that party has ever

bought by money contributed by
the Trusts, and no harm can come
to the Trusts so long as the Repub-

The Admirable Admiral.

Admiral Dewey" observes the
New York World, is the undisputed
hereof the second battle of Santiago.
His detail to the presidency of the
Court of inquiry assembled at the
request of Rear Admiral Schley was
rightly regarded as about the most
difficult command ever intrusted TO
an American naval officer. He
has done his duty superbly. Celer-
ity; courtesy, GOODNESS, fairness, pre-
eminent common senSe-these are
the qualities which have won for him
anew the admiration of the country.
Admiral Dewey has realized that
the business of an inquiry is to in
quire, with the range of the facts as
its only limit He has set an exam
pie which tedious, tecnicality- tang
led civil courts might well follow.

/ city last January indicate that the Sc
curities are in the inside pocket of the
coat in which the deceased was buried.
/ There seems to be no doubt that the
notes lie with the dead in Rock Creek
! Cemetery.
All the effects of the deceased have
been subjected TO most careful searoh h

Notes Were in Burial Coat.
It is also recalled that the papers were
! az this time carried by Mr.. Reynolds in
! the inside pocket Of the coat in which
his remains were inferred. This is
long froek garment CT handsome quality,
and was worn by Mr. Reynolds as dress
coat
During the progress of the investigation
every article of outer clothing containing
pockets belonging to the deceased. was
searched. with great care; bureau draw
ers. chests. closets, book cases and other
archives were ransacked and diIigent en-
quiry was made in all directions where
it was possible that some information as
to the whereabouts Of the securities
might be obtained. But all to no avail
The notes had disappeared more com
pleteIy than if they had been disposed Of
as is frequently the case when such OBJ

Members of the family of the deceased
were greatly annoyed by the incident All
other papers and assets of Mr.. Reynolds
were found to be intact when the execu-
tors investigated the matter and the mis-
sing notes caused much delay and incon-
venience in the matter of winding up the
affairs of the estate
Enquiry into the legal aspect of the
case shows that the law at present for
bids the reopening of a grave in the Dis
trict of Columbia within two years after
inteTment. 1t is also learned that sec
ton $50 Of the new code. which becomes
effective January 1, 1902, prohibits the
reopening of grave in the District, ex-
eept for purposes of reinterment within
ten years after the interment, in all cases
wherein the person buried was more than
twelve years of age at the timl of death.
These provisions were incorporated in the
laws by Congress, it is presumed, as
precaution against grave robting-
1t is not known what steps the relatives
of the Reynolds intend taking in the con
tingeney which has arisen.
