Such is Imperialism,

The Washington Times SAYS:
No one can well help feeling of
sympathy for the unfortunate
Porto Ricans, delegation from
whom called upon the President
yesterday to urge him to nullify
the tax law passed by the car.
pet bag Legislature of the island
recently, and Oh the eve Of its
adjournment. The claw pro.
vides that Porto Ricans who do
not pay their land taxes within
nine months after they are lev.
led shall be sold out. This is
oppressive and consciously so.
The delegates explained to Mr..
Mckinley that with only two
million dollars of legal tender
money in Porto Rico. it would be
impossible for even a majority of
land owners to get hold of the
cash with which to settle their
taxes within the time limit. AS
we are informed, the President
declined to interfere. These un.
fortunate colonial subjects may or
may rot be aware of the fact that
it is highly desirable to bring
about the forfeiture of their es.
tates by the time the Porto Ri.
can tariff expires. Otherwise
it might be inconvenient for Ger.
tain trusts to get hold of the to.
bacco and sugar areas and other
productive soil in advance of any
possible native competition. We
are unable to hope that the dele.
CATION or those they represent
will get much comfort in Wash
ton.

ed by a Democratic Governor.
The present law was passed in
1896 by Republican House and
a Democratic Senate and | am be-
traying no secret when | say that
it would never have passed the
House had not the Republican
members of that body believed
it would be defeated in tue Dem
ocratic Senate.
While in many respects the
law has proved to be an excellent
one, time has disclosed certain
defects we desire to see cured.
The great object of the Austria.
liam system was to secure the Sc.
crecy of the ballot and to prevent
bribery at elections. The present
law makes bribery easy and the
ballot clerks serve the double
purpose of witnessing the COM
pletion of corrupt bargain and
intimidating those votOrs who
cannot read The amendments
embodied in the bill now under
consideration will largely cor
rect these evils.
THE Reform League people
seem to think all the honesty
and purity in the State rests
with the members of their organ
izatiOn. They see nothing but
evil in our motives and are
afraid the results will prove dis.
aStrous to the people of the State.
They seem to lose sight of the
fact that if this law should limit
the elective franchise to the in
teIligent people of the State,
and they alone would have the
right to pass upon our work. it
would he the height of folly for
us to go before them with law
reeking with the many objection
able features they ascribe to it.
No party would dare to do the
things they charge us with wish
ing to do and then go before the
intelligent people of the State
asking tor their endorsement. A
party that had seventy five OF
eighty thousand ignorant and
purchasable voters in their ranks.
who cared not what the party
might do. but always voted the
ticket, might pursue such a
course, but no party which relied
for its support upon an intelligent
constituency could afford to do it.

THE REPUBLICANS NEVER
FALTER.

If the Democrats of Maryland would
take few lessons from the Republican
managers in New York, they would
find themselves possessed of little
more backbone Boss Platt finds the
district attorneys office in the city of
New York not run to suit Republican
ideas. He sends word to Republican
Legislature in Albany and Republican
governor to remove the aforesaid dis
trict attorney; forthwith the order is
issued and out goes Il Democrat elected
by the sovereign votes of the citizens
of New York City and an appointec of
the Republican governor takes his
place, The police board, also obiec-
tionable to Boss Platt in its manage
ment of New York City, is made to
step down and out and single COM
missioner bill is passed by a Republican
Legislature in New York State. What
do their men care for the howlS and
objections of Democrats? So they
would have passed the infamous Force
bill and placed every Southern citizen
under the military rule of Federal sol
diers. They have no stragglers in their
ranks; they have no Republicans seek
ing Democratic praise; they stop at
nothing, but here we are in Maryland,
asked to submit to having our State
filled with negroes from other States
in order that the present Republican
machine may regain power in Mary
land and hold it. surely there is
enough manhood left among our people
to protest against this crying Injustice.

A JUST MEASURE AND ONE
WHICH SHOULD BECOME
A LAW.

The action Of Governor Smith in
cal ing special session of the Mary
land Legislature to perfect the ballot
law should be upheld by every patri-
otic citizen of the State. 1t may be
claimed that tins i a partZan measure
we will grant that it i. But what
brought this measure about-why the
necessity of cnacting additional laws
to perfect the system Of voting? 1t is
only necessary for the citizens Of this
State To look at the manner in which
the Republican managers are preparing
in advance to capture and hold Mary
land through the negro vote. We have
no trouble with the resident negro
population; a. rule they are well be-
haved and orderly, but it is the import
ed negro that the Republicans are de
pending on to carry Maryland and
keep il for all time Into the city of
Baltimore and the counties Of Southern
Maryland hundreds of negroes are to
be found from North Carolina, Virginia
and other States 1t was claimed that
the United States census cnumerators
fal~itied the return in the Southern
comtic, and recent investigations have
proven most couclu,ively that this was
the case There was a bold and defiant
effort on the part Of Republican mana
gers to add five additional members to
the Legislature aud five additional
delegates To thcir State conventions
aud, yet, strange to say, not one word
Of protest has come from any Republic
can quarter Must the Democratic
party of this state quietly submit to
this wrong, to this political outrage?
/ Must MarylanderS tamcly submit to
seeing their State turned over body and
soul to the Republican party through
the negro vote, causing their homes
ami the lives Of our people TO be in
constant jeopardy from unwclcomed
and vicious classes from foreign States?
Why not denouncc this attempt at
classifying the census returns? We have
heard nothing from the Reform League
on this question. If constitutional OBJ
jectious are urged to the bill now be-
/ fore the Legislature, the courts are tn
/ proper tribunal to dispose Of such uues.
tionS. From a party standpoint, we
consider this but cminently fair and
just in every respect. 1t may reach
some white men, but whilst this is I'M
fortunate, the defect we trust will be
rcmedicd in due time. For one. We
contend that ii is a measure which
will stop the corrupt practices now in
vogue, it will enable the true resident,
of Maryland to represent their State
and control their local affairs, it will
! prevent the inscription, Republican
managers from importing thousands Of
negroes from North Carolina and Other
States in order to capture Maryland
or course the Republican press anC
Republican leaders will applaud Demo
Gratis who desert their party at Thu
time, but those Democrats who ar,
not with Us in this great contest must
be against Us. Beware of praise from
the enemy!

A RIDICULOUS ASSUMPTION

The Baltimore NcwS, in one of its
spasmodic outbursts Of opposition to
the new ballot law, says that it will
put premium on blindness" This re
fers TO the clause amending the present
law by which the clerks can assist any
person who cannot read or write so
that only a person who is blind or
physically disabled 50 that they can
not write, can be assisted. This is a
sad commentary upon peoples intelli-
gence and memory We admit that
under the present law it is difficult, if
not well nigh impossible, to tell at u
glance how old man is or whether
he can read or write by his looks, but
it would be only a blind man indeed
who could not discover the other unfor-
tunate ailiiction in fellow man and
remember it. For purposes of fraud
a man might be blind on registration
day, but for the possible hope of pal
try few dollars on election day, what
man could keep up such a base decep-
ton until that time? 1t would be
fairer to both sides if people and pa
pers would wait until the bill is passed
and then approve or criticise it as it
deserves.

THE ECHO ANsWERS-WHY?

The Philadelphia Record, which is
one Of the fairest and most indepen-
dent newspapers in the country, says
Of the Maryland situation in reference
t. the new election law:
Reduced to its simplest terms the
contest in the Maryland Legislature is
between ignorance and intelligence,
with Republican Intelligence enlisted
in behalf of ignorance. 1t is admitted
that the suffrage bill is modelled on the
law of Massachusetts,, which makes no
distinction ofrace or color. Why, then.
should legislation which excludes ig-
norant voters, white and black, from
the ballot be good in Massachusetts,
and become bad when transferred to
the latitude of Maryland? Is the il
literacy of the blacks to be less dreaded
in Maryland? Or is it less hurtful than
the iliteracy of white men in Massa-
chusetts.
