MONKEY As SAVINGS BANK.
Queer Hiding Place for Money Chosen
By Paris Mfsar.

What probably is the queerest OF
places for hiding money has just been
revealed by the death In Paris OF
Louis kerki, supposed paupcr, who
Tor years had received relief from
the authorities. The other evening he
was found dead In his room with
stuffed monkey clasped fondly In his
arms. The gendarme who was sum-
moned noticed that there was Z slit
In the monkeys skin. and out of cur
iosity he thrust pencil into the
aperture. This led to the discovery
that the monkey was filed with pa
pers. The gendarme drew out let
ter which stated that the writer,
In fear OF burglars, had placed his
savings In the monkey, and he then
tore open the animals body 1t was
found to contain 81 900 in bank notes
and securities to the value of $1,000.

ISSUE HAD TO BE NET.

"The issue has been forced
upon us in Maryland. We are
one of the States, Delaware is
another, which are in danger
of being overridden by the
colonization of negroes and
bound by the corrupt use of
money. Some time ago we
saw, here in Maryland, that
the moment was coming when
for the protection Of our
women and the possession of
our State, we must meet and
face this issue. We saw it COM
ing and we made up our minds
to provide for it. The oppor-
tunity to begin this work came
when the Federal census taken
in this State was designedly
padded, with the iniquitous idea
of giving to the negroes of
Charles and st. Mary's counties
one-third more power than the
white men of Howard county
have in the State.
"There are honest men in all
parties. There are plenty of
honest Republicans in Mary
land, and one day, sitting at
my breakfast table in Washing
ton, I was called upon by one
of the most distinguished Re-
publicans in this State. He
said to me: while I am a
party man and have never
voted the Democratic ticket,
here is the proof of the fraud
of the Internal scoundrels with
in my party. Take it, submit
it to your Governor, and right
this wrong 1t was submitted
and we did right the wrong and
expose the fraud. Now, Mr..
Williams, the Republican can
didate for Governor here, says
that it cost 100000. What,
say I, if it cost 100000? What
is money when compared to
the protection of our women
and our homes ?''-Senator Cor

EVERY Democrat, in fact
every white man, should realize
that the election next Tuesday
means more for him than any
election held in this County
since the war. 1t is to be settled
whether the white people of
Maryland are to rule or an
irresponsible element. The
way to vote RIGHT is to vote
for every man on the Demo-
cratic ticket. Wherever you
see the word DEMOCRATIC
put your cross mark opposite it
and be sure and don't vote for
any Republican. You will al
ways regret it, if you do. There
is nothing like a clean voting
record for a Democrat.

THE Republicans are on the
run and have given up hope of
electing their candidate for
Governor, but they are en-
deavoring to save Senator Nc
Comas his seat in the Senate
by getting Democrats to give
complimentary votes to their
candidates for the Legislature.
Senator McComas was one of
the advocates of the Force Bill
which provided for running
elections in the interest of the
Republican party in the South
at the point of the bayonet.
You are a white man and you
will stand with your race
against McComas and his
crew. The way to prevent him
getting back in the Senate to
force his iniquitious measures
upon the South is to vote for
every Democratic candidate for
the Legislature.
