THE MARYLAND BALLOT.

One feature of the new election law
in Maryland provides that the names
on the ballot shall not be arranged in
party columns, as is the case in Illi-
nois and other states, but shall be
printed as in Massachusetts,, with the
competing candidates placed together
under the title of the Office to which
they are aspiring. This is method
really preferable in some respects to
that of voting straight party ticket,
since it gives the voter a chance to
mark each individual name, and
makes it necessary to mark each can
didate he supports. But while this
plan is an easy enough one for the in
telligent voter, it is difficult one for
the illiterate, and its operation may
work the disfranchisement of many
of the negroes who have hither-
to been able to mark their ticket by
recognizing it's emblem or it's place on
the official ballot. A measure framed
on this line will escape attack in the
courts on the ground of unconstitu-
tionality, while it may have the effect
of shutting out the negro almost as
effectually as the more drastic meas
ures adopted by some of the southern
states

A CHANCE OF A LIFE TIME
For Invalids to Get Cured Free OF
Charge by Calling on the Brit
ish Doctors at 100 Third
Aueni1e Rafnre A Anril .
Avenue Before April 2.

A staff of eminent physicians and
surgeons from the British Medical In
stitute have, at the earnest solicita-
ton of number of patients under
| their treatment in this county, estab-
lished apermapent branch of the in
stitute in Rock Island, H., at 100
Third avenue, over Tremann's meat
market.
These eminent gentlemen have de-
cided to give their services entirely
free for three months (medioines ex-
cepted) to all invalids who call upon
| them between now and April 2.
These services will consist not only of
consultation, examination and advice,
but also OF all minor surgical opera
tions.
The object in pursuing this course
is to become rapidly and personally
acquainted with the sick and afflicted,
and under no condition whatever will
any charge be made for any services
rendered for three months to all who
call before April 2.
The doctors treat all forms of dis
ease and deformitiss, and guarantee
cure in every case they undertake.
At the first interview q thorough ex-
animation is made, and if incurable,
you are frankly and kindly told so;
also advised against spending your
money for useless treatment.
Male and female weakness, catarrh
and catarrhal deafness, cancer, with
out pain or cutting, rupture, all skin
diseases, and all diseases of the rec
tum are positively cured by their new
treatment.
DIR. Z. j. Nate, the chief consult
ing surgeon of the institute, assisted
by one or more of his staff associates,
is in personal charge.
Office hours from 9 q. m. till o.

HARRIsoN,s LAST WORDS.

James Bryce, the English writer,
recently said: Indeed the struggles
for liberty and nationality are almost
beginning to be forgotten by the new
generation, which has no such en-
thusiasm for these principles as men
had 40 years ago."
The late Gen. Harrison replied to
this in the North American Review,
in which he declared: ''And at the
moment when two republics are in
articulo mortis some of our Journals
congratulate US over the prospect of
an increased trade with the Grown
Colonies that are to be set up in
output of the Johannesburg mines.
The emperor of Germany is reported
to have forestalled President Krug-
er's personal appeal by the statement
that Germany's interest would be pro-
NOTED by the British conquests of the
republics. And Bishop Thoburn
asks: why should people lament
the absorption of the small powers
by the large ones?'
"Never before has American SYM
pathy failed, or been divided, or failed
to find it's voice, when people were
fighting for independence. Can we
now calculate commercial gains be-
fore the breath of a dying republic
has quite failed or the body has quite
taken on the rigor mortis? If inter-
national justice, government by the
people, the parity of the nations, have
ceased to be workable things and have
become impracticable, shall we part
with them with a sneer or simulate
regret. even if we have lost the power
to feel it? May not one be allowed
to contemplate the heavens with sup
pressed aspirations, though there are
no consumers there? Do we need to
make mock of stars because we can
not appropriate them-because they
do not take our produce? Have we
disabled ourselves? MIR. Hoar says
that by last winters terrible blunder
we have lost the right to
offer sympathy to the Boer in
his wonderful and gallant strug-
gle against terrible odds for the
republic in Africa 1t is a terrible
charge. There was plainly no call
for an armed Intervention by the
United States in South Africa, and
perhaps our diplomatic suggestions
went as far as usage would justiiy
But has not public opinion here been
somehow strongly perverted or put
under some unwonted repression? If
we have lost either the right to de-
nounce aggression or the capacity to
weep when a republic dies it is a
0rieVous loss.'"
