result in again making our elections

result in again making our elections
a byword."
The connection between the out
rage on the elective franchise embod-
led in the election bill is relentlessly
pointed out; it is, of course, matter of
public knowledge that the putting
through of the election job was abso-
lutely dependent upon bargain
made with the men who were behind
the sewerage plan. While the need
for sewers is recognized by all intelli-
gent and progressive citizens, the no
ton that it was necessary to jam
through at an extra session bill pro-
viding for them is not honestly enter
tanned by half a dozen citizens of Bal
timore. The Republican address puts
into words what has been in the
thoughts of many thousands of citi-
zens, irrespective of party, when it
says: 1.-The sewerage bill resembles its
ill-featured brother. This measure,
so vitality affecting the people of Bal
timore and involving the expenditure
of many millions of dollars, became
personal question. We were in favor
of bill to enable the city of Balti-
more to construct a sewerage system,
and a proper bill could have been
passed without opposition. We be-
lieve that we represented the people
of Baltimore irrespective of party
when we strenuously opposed making
this great work part of political
deal and practically placing into the
hands of one man this great power as
reward for his aid in taking from
many thousand freeman their right
to vote, for the benefit of the other
party to the deal We believe that
the commission should be broad-gaug-
ed and non-partisan. 1t is asking too
much of our credulity to expect us to
believe that commission selected as
result of political deal will be kept
out of politics.
The arraignment of the acts and
methods of the partisan conclave
which has been masquerading as a
Legislature is thoroughly deserved.
In winding up their protest, and ap-
pealing to the people of Maryland for
the remedy, the Republican members
act wisely in recording their opposi-
ton to Federal interference in the
matter. ''This is fight to the finish, =
they declare, before the people of
Maryland for manhood and manhood
suffrage. We believe the people can
meet the issue and wisely solve it
without aid from any outside source,
and are therefore opposed to any
Federal interference" The fight is,
indeed, under another form, the same
old fight that was fought so long
against the Democratic ring, and that
was won in 1895, for decency and hon
esty i'll the foundation of civil govern
ment-elections by the people. The
brazen effrontery of the pretense that
any other object was aimed at than
return to the old days of unchecked
ring control was demonstrated by
the killing of the primary-elections
bill and of the corrupt-practices bill.
The party that stands expressly for
outrages upon the right to fair cleo
tions will have to be thrashed once
again, whatever it may cost to do it;
and the second thrashing will be one
that will last for good.

All animals. from ants up to whales
and elephants. play together in youth.
and some are fond Of taking such diver
sions at intervals through life. One
might search the world over, and not
find more playful creatures than pup
pies and kittens. but there are other
dumb animals which not only frisk
about, but actually descend to practical
jokes.
A Brazilian parrot once succeeded in
making a railway party believe that
they had run over a child Sudden
cries. followed by a low moaning, rang
out from beneath the wheels. The train
was stopped, and the employees nervous
y searched the track, but no child was
to be seen. No clue to the situation
could be found, until large green par
rot, swinging in his cage, uttered .
mocking laugh.
A monkey. on shipboard, used to
amuse himself ia the cooks absence by
turning the water-cocks. ia order to en-
Joy that worihy's surprise when he re-
turaed and found the water running
cFer the floor; and there are scores Of
authenticated instances Of actual de-
ception practieed by animals to gain
some desired end.
A Skye terrier used to attempt to de-
ceiye it's master by going through the
action Of killing a fly, and then assum-
ing an air Of success. One day, how
ever when proof was given him that his
hypocrisy was detected, he skunk under
the furniture, evidently quite ashamed.
Tue merry antics OF monkeys are
many aud diverting. Humboldt was
acquainted with a monkey ia India
which took delight in riding a pig.
Every morning the creature caught
one, leaped astride his back, aud cling
ing there with great frmness, took his
fiji Of riding. Another monkey, domes-
ticated by missionary. used to put the
family cat a strong, good-natnred ami
NAL, TO the same use.
The favorite game Of others seems to
be that Of Gliding downhilL They
climb to the top Of a high snow ridge,
lie fat upon the stomach, with the fore
feet bent backward, and, giving them
selves an impulse with the hind-leg,
glide down the hill. head foremost. In
summer they select a sloping river
bank, which has a clayey soil, and
where the water at its base is Of consid-
able depth. Climbing this bank. they
start from the top, slide swiftly over
tue sloping ground, aud plunge into the
water.
