The Reform League.

The Reform League of Maryland has APP
pointed committee on the new census to be
taken. Just what assistance the committee
can be not even the League knows. In a let
ter to Gov. Smith offering the service of the
committee, Mr.. Henry W. Williams, the chair
man, says-"We all recognize with you that
the census to be taken should not only merit,
but should receive, the confidence OF the pub
lie, and to this end we respectfully suggest
we are willing to cooperate with you
The committee has lot of conceit and as
surauce to think that its cooperation will in-
spire public confidence. Upon what meat
do these Caesars feed that they are superior
and purer than other mortals
Remembering the Reform(?) ballot law,
drawn by one of their number, John c. Rose,
and endorsed by the League, and passed by
the General Assembly in 1896, the League is
rather to be distrusled than trusted That
law made bribery easy, and was designed to
make it easy for the fifty-6ye Thousand Negro
voters to vote the straight Republican ticket.
The Reform League is set of busy -bodies,
nearly all Republicans, and will hamper,
rather than aid, an honest census, if their ad-
vice is followed.
It would be better to listen to avowed
partisan Republican than to a Republican
disguised by Reform mask.
Col. Schey, the Superintendent, will do
well to pay no attention 10 the Reform
League. Ifitis so much interested in an honest
census, it is strange that it did not discover
the palpable frauds in the Federal Census.
When these frauds were exposed, and when
Gov. Smith alluded to them in the call for an
extra session of the Legislature, the League
did not offer its services to Director Merriam
to help TO discover them. Oh, 10 it only
comes to the front when Democrats are acting.
When the Republicans are uppermost 1t Is
silent Il was silent when it was shown that
the Rose ballot law did not provide an oath
of secresy for ballot clerks. Il was silent
when the Eastern Shore Senatorial law was
overridden 1t was silent when that law was
surreptitiousy repealed. 1t was silent when,
in 1896, the Republicans put several thousand
fraudulent names on the registration books in
Baltimore. 1t was silent last fall when Vir.
GINA Negroes were brought to Baftim ore TO
vote. 1t is always silent when Republicans
are committing outrages. Ii is only active
against the Democratic party.
In short, the Reform League is fraud.

An Easter Hint.

From correspondent we have just received
the following, says the Philadelphia Ledger,
which should be Of special interest al this time:
at to the water in which cut flowers are kept,
about tablespoonful of Platt's chlorides the
odorless dsiulectant) be added, the perfume
and freshness of the flowers will be retained
for much longer period than would otherwise
be the CASE The suggestion originally came
from trained nurse, who made the discovery
during long and tedious illness, where every
thing was done to make the sickroom cheerful
and haalIhfnl.

Why the Complaint ?

Republican journals, not only in Maryland.
but in the North, declare that the change in
the Maryland ballot law, passed at The receut
extra session of the General Assembly, will
prove disastrous TO the Democratic party. So
believing, why all the protest and criticism
Do not these Republican journals want the
State to go Republican If they do, they
should be praising Gov. Smith for calling the
extra session and the Democratic members
of the Senate and House for changing the
form of the ballot.

Republicans are organizing night schools
for the education of iliterate Negroes. We
have not heard of any effort on their part TO
educate white Republican illiterates. The
Negro vote is their only concern, but they
will utterly fail to educate the bulk of
them sufficiently to enable them to vote. A
large percentage of them in parts of the State
are incapable of education. They have
Stunned mental labor in the past and will not
hother themselves now
