The German Boomerang.

A dread suspicion which refuses to
be allayed has found an abiding place
III the breast of the Maryland Demo
cratic press, that the German disfrau-
chisement law will develop boone
rang tendencies and that it will event
ually hit the white illiterates harder
than it will the black, although on
the face of the returns, the latter out
number the former quite two to one
The argument is put forward, by GER
tain electors of Democratic persua-
sion, that the negro illiterates who
are credited in the main to the Re-
publican party are ambitious to get
sufficient education to enable them to
vote, while the white illiterates are
too apathetic to care whether they
are allowed the right of elective fran
chise or not.
Should this be the true situation
German and his fellow conspirators
will indeed have cause to gnash their
teeth in rage. To the one far re-
moved from Maryland's boundaries,
and unacquainted with Gormanite
trickery, this law might be regarded
as fair from theoretical standpoint,
as it deals or pretends to deal with
both races alike and some of Mr..
Gorman's friends have declared that
he is deserving of praise instead of
censure for devising the law. But
there is nothing altruistic about Cor
man. The last thing he had in mind,
If such an inference ever found refuge
for an instant in his brain, while he
was debating the new franchise act,
was the elevation of the community
or any portion of it save himself. His
single purpose and whole intent was
to deyise plan whereby he might
get back into the U. S. Senate. The
thing which gave Germans trickery
widespread interest was that it is a
part of the general conspiracy to keep
the Republicans in the minority in
the Southern States, but Gorman's
only concern in this connection is
purely for his Individual advance
ment, with no regard for the welfare
of his party. Happily the decent peo-
pie of Maryland entertain but mild
admiration for Mr.. German, and I'M
less he keeps his personality in the
background from now until the ides
OF November, ever pursuing a persis-
tent purpose to obliterate his past
and present political record from pub
lie gaze, his chances for return to
the United States Senate will dwin-
die like mist before the rays of a sum
mer sun.

A Country Newspaper.

Indissolubly connected with the i'm
mense growth of the American ma
ton has been the country newspaper
AS an institution it has been a prime
factor in the development of the great
West, says the National Tribune. No
sooner is town definitely located
than a local newspaper springs into
being with all the vigorous enterprise
characteristic of American journal
ism. The country newspaper, in its
strictest sense, is an American insti-
tuition. While foreign newspapers
only contain court news" and chiefly
chronicle the movements of the arts
tocracy, the personal column of the
American country newspaper recog-
nizes the sovereign right of the plain
people of the town or village to rea-
sonable publicity in the personal
column We much confess there is
more of picturesque interest in these
simple records than the stereotyped
praise of kings, dukes and dowagers.
There is no periodical that can hope
to supplant the home paper. No
matter how much other publications
may fiaunt literary treasures, authors
with big names, the prestige of local
state and national influence, the home
paper has it's sacred attention at the
family hearthstone. Even the wealth
bedizened suburbanite must have a
weekly glimpse at the modest little
village paper. And who does not
welcome the paper from the "old
home" in it's familiar wrapper?

Issues Well Chosen.

The Republican party managers
have acted wisely in determining to
make the extra session one of the
leading issues in the councilmanic
campaign. That election will not, of
course, directly decide the disputed
points concerning the extra session.
The decision on these points will be
rendered in the fall, when the issue
will be the election of legislature
to undo the work of the extra session.
But it is well that the people be urged
to express their opinion of the extra
session now. Such an expression will
vitalize the issue for use in the fall.
That session was thoroughly bad.
Certainly nothing good has come
from it. The new election law, no
matter what its consequences may
be, was inspired by an unsafe and
outrageous spirit of partisanship-a
spirit deserving of rebuke at the

THERE has not been Democratic
organ, or Democratic politician or
Democratic driveling scribbler who
has not said that the disfranchisement

deny the allegation that it makes
bribery and corruption easier than
under the old law. Vic Baughman
was the man that had the law passed

been insulted by the selection of old

work, and the census is being con-
verified into an agency for the rehabil

majority of the people in its present

That the Republicans can with pro-

MR.. GoRMAN is making side door
visits to Baltimore.
Railroad Talk.

A suggestion contained in the Bal
timore correspondence of one of our
local contemporaries last week is well
worthy of consideration by the peo-
pie of the county bordering on the
Youghiogheny river and the commune
tiles directly adjacent thereto. We
refer to the extension of the Confu-
ence and Oakland Railroad from its
present terminus to Oakland.
Since the publication of the CORE
spondence we have it from good au-
thority that if the right of way can
be secured free of cost to the promot-
ers of the railroad that it will be
built at once. A road through the
section of the country referred to
would be of lasting benefit to the en-
tire community 1t would increase
land values its entire length, give a
ready market to the products of the
farmers and place Oakland in close
touch with the other sections of the
county to the north of us.
Every land owner and business man
of the county is compelled at one time
or another during the year to make
visits to Oakland either on court or
other business and the trip from the
vicinity of Friendsville or Selbysport,
Accident and the Cove could be made
in an hour or two, whereas now the
time consumed must exceed five to
ten hours, owing to the condition of
the roads. The return journey can
barely be made the same day. With
the railroad facilities at command
people can come TO Oakland early in
the day, transact their business and
make the return home without any
inconvenience and with the loss of
probably a few hours from their
farms or places of business. The right
Of way along the river which is desir-
ed by the promoters of the railroad
runs over land which is untillable
and of but small value to the owners.
The results which will undoubtedly
accrue when the road is built will
more than doubly pay for the land do
mated. Aside from this it will bring
more settlers to the county and in
many other ways increase the prosper
ity of the whole people of the county.

Where Is It?

Where is the purity promised by
the Democratic ring? How will this
disfranchisement law strike corrup-
| ton to the ground and raise politics
from the mire of money and evil in
| fiuences? What did the Democratic
leaders mean when they insisted that
| the Acknowledgement law was passed
in the interests of pure elections {?
Why was it that Victor Baughman
| stated that it was necessary to change
the election law to purify the ballot /?
When people said that the disfran-
! chisement law was a measure simply
to aid in the perpetuation of the Cor
man ring in power, they were called
liars, foes to clean elections and
friends of bribery and corruption.
The people remember how the Dem
ocratic ring leaders and the Demo
cratic slave press spoke of purity, and
made long faces about the bribery
that existed under the old law. This
and many other thoughts come to
mind when the story of the Frederick
election is told. When the leaders of
the fight for the Democrats said that
if it had not been for the votes that
had been bought and paid to stay
away from the polls, the Democratic
party would have gone down in de-
feat the hypocricy of the purity cry
was exposed in all its revolving colors
This is a specimen of what the Dem
ocratic ring machine brought about,
the sort of politics it fosters and the
horrible political conditions it en-
genders. A terrible blow has been
administered to the rights of the peo-
pie and the people cannot lose any
time in speedily putting an end to it.
When the lion lays down with the
lamb the German ring will purify
elections. The citizen who believes
the ring is not corrupt needs a guar
dian. The Baltimore Sun, the paper
that said the ring had been purified
by chastisement, needs the spirit of
one of the departed Abells to guide it
again.

"Non-partisan" papers, edited by
partisans, are the most patent hum
bugs of the age. In commenting up
on public matters they start out non
partisan, but wind up partisan. They
are simply frauds. A partisan paper
is the more to be admired. 1t sacra-
fees patronage for principle. 1t is
more honest, for it does not play for
both sides, and does not pretend to
be anything than partisan. There is
nothing antagonistic to honesty in
being partisan, and there is every in
ducement to dishonesty in being non
partisan or independent The most
despicable object is a partisan who
pretends to conduct a non-partisan
or Independent paper, and then by
his acts endorses every principle and
policy which his party espouses.-

Still the Leader.

W. j. Bryan has been comparative
ly quiet since the last national cleo
ton, a matter of six months or so, but
the feeling was lurking about that
Mr.. Bryan still considered himself the
leader of the Democratic party. He
has confirmed this idea by an editor
ial in a recent issue of his paper. In
commenting ON the election of Dem
ocratic candidate for mayor in st.
Louis, he deplored his success, hold
ing that it was disastrous victory
for the Democratic party. Mr.. Bryan
is right in that opinion of the matter,
for the election of Mr.. Wells was
brought about by the foulest political
measures and outrages that have
been perpetrated in this country for
many years, and the reaction against
the party in that city will mean it's
sure defeat at every subsequent cleo
ton. Mr.. Bryan, however, arrives at
the same conclusion that the victory
is disaster, but by an entirely differ
ent channel. He contends that Mr..
Wells is a representative of the Gold
Democrats, an element in the party
that should be eradicated either by
expulsion or by smothering. In an
nouncing this view he states that the
Democratic party is inimical to the
gold interests and will be found ar
rayed at the next national election
along the same lines as heretofore,
with the ayowed purpose of oyerturn-
