The Flooded District.

Kansas was a great loser by the receut
foods In twenty-six cities and towns the
loss is estimated at Sl2, 900, 900. No
estimate has been made of the loss in small
villages. of which there are about two hun
dred. The very lowest estimate OF the
loss done to crops is 5000, 600. As Il
consequence, there will be Il great deal of
individual want and suffering among farm
ers. The loss in freight flooded burned
or lost down the river may amount to So, =
900, 1000 or So, OO0,O 900. The Burling
ton estimates its loss in its freight house
alone at $500, 900. Each of the other
roads lost as much.
A similar condition exists in Missouri
and Illinois. East St. Louis was flooded
last Sunday. Grain elevators, freight cars
and buildings were surrounded by water
from five to twenty five feet deep.
The postoffice at West Alton and Fal-
con, ILL.,, were abandoned Sunday. There
are about eight or ten families in that vi
cinity all sheltered in one dwelling on an
Indian mound, which was about eight feet
above the water.
1t is estimated that within radius Of
twenty miles from St. Louis the flood has
rendered %, 900 people homeless and sub
merged 200, 900 acres of fertile farming
lands
The Conlogue levee, just south of East
st. Louis, broke at midnight, Sunday, and
the 200 colored families who inhabit that
district were driven from their homes.

Mengel.
Affections sore long time he bore.
Physicians were in vain;
God thought it best that he should rest
And eased him of his pain.
How long he struggled against disease,
Which bated skill ami care;
And long he fingered racked with pain,
And suffering hard to bear.
He has gone to rest;
God called him home
He thought it best;
Oh may we, his parents, brothers, sister, warning
take,
And try to meet him for Jesus sake

Hands Off.

The ADVOCATE several weeks ago named
what it supposed would be a winning tick
ct
Hon. Edwin Warfeld, for Governor.
Hon. j. w. Herring for Comptroller.
Hon. Joshua W. Miles for Attorney General.
The article was extensively copied in
whole or in part, by the Democratic papers
of the State, and the ticket was well re-
ceived. As to the head of the ticket there
is no question that he is the choice of the
Democracy of the State, and the other two
are unquestionably strong.
A Baltimore paper dubbed the ticket as
"The Slate" whereupon the Frederick
Citizen remarked that the party managers
had not made up estate. - 1t has not
been pretended they have That idea was
the creation of a Baltimore paper that
copied part of the ADVOCATE article.
The party managers, whoever they may
be, should not undertake to make slate.
The making of ticket should be left to
the voters entirely. There should be no
attempt to persuade or dissuade them.
When the rank and file make ticket they
will elect it. When party managers nom
mate one it sometimes goes down to defeat.
The election this year is the most i'm
portant since 1867. 1t is a contest for
hite supremacy in the State; struggle
as to whether the intelligent white citizens
should continue to conduct the affairs OF
government, or few not over scrupulouS
people, supported by nearly sixty thousand
Negro voters, shall control.
That is the issue.
Should the Republicans carry the day,
McComas, of Force Bill fame, will 90 back
to the United States Senate, and Repub-
lican Legislature would so alter the election
ballot as to make it easy for the most
ignorant and worthless Negro to vote, and
thus extend an invitation to the distran
chised Negroes of Virginia and North Car
olinia to come to Maryland. The Negro
immigration that was started was checked
by the last change in the ballot, which
made it more difficult for the Negro to vote
it with any degree of accuracy. The Re-
publicans, if successful, will restore the old
form, with party emblems at the head Of
the tickets. Every Negro knows Lincoln's
head, and everyone could readily vote
straight Republican ticket, and would do So
The sixty thousand Negro voters now
in the State would be augmented by some
thousands more from the South so soon as
they learned they could vote in Mary land.
In view of this, it would seem to be the
part of wisdom for party managers or lead
ers to let the Democratic voters make the
ticket. A ticket SO made is sure to be
elected. And this is no time to take any
chances. The issues, we repeat, are too
momentous. There is too much at stake.
White supremacy is in the balance. Ne
gro domination is threatening. If any
mistake is made, and the Republicans win,
it may be many years before the State is
redeemed. Master administration in
Baltimore, with tax rate of So % on the
500, and the incompetency of the
Lowndes administration in the State should |
be remembered.
Hands off Let the people make the
ticket.

At the meeting of the Republican State

AT the meeting of the Republican State
Central COMMITTEE in Baltimore, on We'd
nesday Senator McComas said ''the Re-
publican party lived by being the party OF
the free ballot and the fair count" He
might have added that it tried to gro'o by
nadding the census returns in four or five
counties. By a free ballot he means one
with Lincoln head at the top so every lg-
uorant and worthless Negro can vote. BY
a fair count he means counting in Repub-
licans who we're not elected.

And now it is charged that John w.
Petit, a bookkeeper in the Baltimore
postof6ce, is to be investigated. He is
a solicitor for the United States Fidelity
and Guaranty Company, and at the same
time is drawing $500 salary as book
keeper in the Baltimore postoffice. The
Baltimore Morning Herald says:
"For nearly four years now under Post
master Warfeld he has been drawing this
desirable salary, and has for much of the
time been devoting his services to the
United States Fidelity and Guaranty Com
nany.''

Why Distract The Party.

The Democratic party in the State is
united, and if not disturbed by rival am
billions will win a signal victory in Novem-
ber
The past week or ten days the success
sion to Senator McComas has been much
discussed, and several persons have been
mentioned in that connection, any one of
whom would make an acceptable Senator.
The Democrats can only elect United
States Senator by electing majority of
the General Assembly. Would it not be
well, then, to accomplish that result before
discussing candidates for Senator?
You cannot divide the loaves and fishes
until you get them, and you cannot get
them unless the Legislature is carried;
therefore to bicker about the Senatorship
can have no other effect than to distract
the party.
Let us finish one campaign and election
before we begin another
