Uproar in Kansas.

A woman named Mary Nation started
crusade against saloons in Wichita, Kansas,
by hacking counters with Ratchet and
smashing mirrors, bottles, glasses, &c To-
peka has crusade on hand, inaugurated at a
meeting of 5000 citizens, and an ultimatum to
saloon-keepers to close at II O'Clock yesfer-

would take the law into their own hands and
close all by force.
1t is possible, very probable, the saloons III
Kansas may be very low, degrading and de

of the citizens is equally as bad as ouilawry

but simply desire to call attention 10 The fact
that as Kansas gave an enormous Repuillca'i

western Maryland Railroad.
For the Democratic Advocate.

/
Should the city OF Baltimore sell out its controll-
| ing interest in the Western Maryland Railroad at
the ridiculously low price offered; when the road
paying the city the interest upon several millions
| of dollars more 1t will make mistake In fact q
| mistake that will eyerlastingly reflect upon the
present city's administration of Batimores affairs
and its representative directors 1t is most valua-
BILE property and is well managed in the interest of
State and city. In other words it isa key to the
situation as an internal trunk line to tide-water
and will reap its influence for its possessors in the
near future.
Mr.. Lauterbach and his Drum-Point is myth.
How did he treat the latter? What have his repre-
sentatives in it ever done? Who is he7 What are
his political associations? Is the great city Of Bal
tmore so distressed financially that it should take
several millions less than il is worth for road that
is paying its way and the disposal of which will be
great interference with its trade?
Did not the sale of the citys interest in the B. &
o. greatly distress and destroy the value of Its stock
and infuence7
We Western Narylanders who are paying taxes
and enjoying the good that this road has done us,
and knowing how it has benefited first city,
protest in most emphatic way against its sale to
outsiders and further that Baltimore shall, in its
only profitable investment part with 1t in the face
of the facts of its importance and its former expert
ence There is something rotten i'll Denmark if
this road is sacrificed at present. and under the cir
cumstances It will be made clear that theres some
thing peculiarly putfid in Baltimore politics.
The best interests of Maryland-the city Of Balti-
more-the business and agricultural interests re-
quire that under no circumstances shall this road
pass into the hands of outsiders-certainly not
unless its purchasers give security by leaving in the
hands of the city and counties owning stock in it
that the entire line shall be doubetracked and the
dtr-
plicated; and until this is done there shall be no
transfer of interest.
The road has been most excellentIy and economi-
calIy managed and is doing most faithful service
to It's patrons and stockholders; and its sale and
sacrifice would be outrage and infamy that
should haunt its directory their material well
as political graves. CARROLL.

Fire at Mayberry.

Between 8 and p m. on the 18th instant, a
dwelling and contents at Mayberry, was
burned. The building belonged TO Ezra D.
Stuller, and was occupied by Otto Eide, who
lived in it alone, and carried on the thinning
business. All his manufactured articles,
tools, furniture and $40 in money were de-
stroyed. Mrs. Jeremiah Zepp had furniture
to the value of 5000 stored in the building,
every particle of which was burned. Mr..
Eide was not at home when the fire occurred,
aud its origin is unknown. His loss is about
$500. upon which he had an insurance of SOC
in the Carroll County Company. The build
ing was a two-story frame structure. Mr..
Stullers loss is estimated at $500, upon which,
it is reported, he had partial insurance in
the Dug Hill Company. Mrs. Zepps furni-
ture was not insured.

Mr.. Rollins Statement.

VIM. T. S. Rollins, under whose supervls-
ion the census of the counties OF Anne Arun
del. Baltimore, Calvert, Carroll, Charles,
Hartford, Howard, Prince Georges and ST.
Mary's was taken, has made statement that
the returns made by the enumerators were
correct and that he is willing to swear to 1t,
&c. The returns from Howard county GER
tainly we're not correct, for it has been re-
Gently shown that one section of that county
was not visited by an enumeration, and nine-
teen families omitted from the census And
as far as the ADVOCATE is concerned Mr.
Rollins and the whole Census Bureau might
swear until they are black and blue they
would not change our opinion that the returns
frem Kent, Cecil, Hartford, Carroll, Anne
Arunel, Charles, Prince Georges and ST.
Mary's are not correct.
1t is very singular that the counties that
would gain an additional member OF the House
of Delegates are all Republican but one, and
that two districts IN Charles county Should
increase exactly three hundred each, no more
and no less.

Great Frauds in Philadelphia, Pa.
Fror the T.edeer February 20.

FROM lne leuSeI rCOiuoiy -.
The municipal election held Yesterday was
a vindicaton of popular. government Inc
stockholders. so to speak, of the corporation
of Philadelphia were called upon to pass upon
the conduct of the government of the city,
and to elect certain officers who would either
continue the policy heretofore observed Or
reverse or amend it. No questions OF ma
tional or State politics interfered 10 prevent
free expression of opinion. The election was
nureIy a business matter, and the voters de-
ternined with a great deal Of unanimity that
they liked the kind of government they have
been ENJOYING for the last few years They
decided that they want Councils to give away
public franchises, or, if they sell them at all,
to sell them privately. They emphatlcaily
approved the efforts of the Administration to
control political conventions and elections,
and they also approved deals between the
leaders of the two recognized political parties
In order to defeat the obnoxious reformers.
Now thessis no doubt that the people will get
exactly what they voted for. If they had
elected the Municipal League ticket they
might have been disappointed. 1t promised
them good government, and good government
il not easily attaimable. But there is no trou-
BILE about giving them bad government, marked
bv extravaganza, favoritism and corruption
in every imaginable form. This is what they
voted for and this is what they will get, thus
demonstrating the power of popular govern
ment to respond to popular demand.
A public invitation has been extended 10
policy dealers to resume business at the old
stands; speak easy proprietors reading the re,
turns will feel encouraged, and an era OF
prosperity will dawn upon all the haunts OF
vice. The Administration has been vindi-
Gated and doubts about the continued friend
illness of the police force have been dispelled.
The Law and Order Society will continue to
be nuisance which may have to be reckoned
with, but it cannot long continue doing the
work of the police under the vote of censare
passed upon it in yesterdays election The
people presumably know what they want, and
they have declared in favor of the worst mu.
nicipal Administration the city has ever
known Long live the people.

Old Fables Pointed Anew
From the New York World.


In Thomas Carlyle's history of the French
Revolution there are embodied condensation
of certain pair of fables which may be re-
produced without recourse to the words of the
volume.
It is related that when the master of barn
ward called the fowls together and put to them
the question with what sauce would they
sooner be served, the response came with
fearsome alacrity. 'But, sir, we do not wish
TO be eaten at all.'' To which the master
reioined, ''You wander from the point"
And again, there was Horse which, pnr-
sued by its enemy, appealed to Man. The
Man mounted the Horse and did, indeed, undo
the enemy But when he had accomplished
this he refused to disnount, and the burden
of the Horse still was great.
Perhaps if Mr.. Carlyle were writing OF
America today and of the Filpinos in their
barnyard, and of Cuba, whose Spanish enemy
we drove eway, he might illumine his pages
with even better tables. But this is much to
he doubted

which is simply not true, and the News can
not name any such. The fact every Demo-
