republicans is the present excellent Bal
lot Law, which is based on the law of the
Republican State of Massachusetts,, and
it comes with i'll grace from the orators
and critics of that party, which has always
claimed the monopoly of the intelligence
and learning of the country, to object
to statute which has for its object the
restriction of the suffrage to the intelli
gent, and the repression Of the votes of
those whose ignorance naturally pre-
vents them from attaining full under
standing of their duties as citizens. In
fact all that the republicans have been
able to bring against the democrats as a
reason for the change in the party
administration of the State, has been
the alleged unfairness of the Ballot Law.
Not one act of malfeasance or wrong
doing on the part of any official has been
alleged. They base their whole conten-
ton, when their arguments are thorough
ly sifted, to this one issue: the Ballot Law
and what it should be. That is all.
Everything else is the merest wind. Not
one other argument of any real weight
has been produced. Despite their rant
ings and rawlings against individual demo-
Gratis of prominence, their delving in the
mud of past campaigns, their revival of
old and long since exploded stories which
have been passed upon over and over
again by the voters, the real and only
issue presented by them has been and is the
policy of the Ballot Law now in force,
That is really the only question at ISSUE
But back of the Ballot Law is the real
vital issue of the supremacy of the in
telligent, property holding citizens of
Maryland over the hordes of semi bar
barous, non property holding blacks. And
thus it resolves itself into this: intelli
gence and property against ignorance and
superstition.

EDITORIAL PARA G RAPHS.

Teddy, keep your fingers out of this
Maryland pie.
How can the Baltimore News be
friends (?) to Mr.. Rayner and advocate
the republican legislative ticket?
Roosevelt as usual put his foot into it
when he began his meddling in Marylan d
tactics. The cit" appears to have been a
hornets nest.
How desperate their plight must be is
evidenced by the fact that Mr.. Wachter,
who has sulked for weeks. has at last
been stirred into crying "Harmony."
If Mr.. Roosevelt president of the
United States) looks to Maryland for vim
dication on his negro policy, lie may grow
old and die, and still be looking although
from another eminence than the White
House.
Senator McComas points with pride to
the Harmony" which exists ia his party.
What you got to be proud about Lou? If
there is harmony, you didn't restore it..
Stop cackling over an other hens eggs!
The Honorable Mac" expects to be re-
elected, in case the republicans carry the
legislature, because the majority of the
delegates will be his friends. He hasn't
counted on the rest Of the caucus boiling,
nor on the effect of some one else's
money on his delegates.
President Roosevelt has given the re-
publican orators who decried the Grace
ISSUE" and who claimed that there was
no such issue, sharp slap in the face.
He is making the Race Issue" of Mary
land his national compaign slogan and
and is doing it year in advance of his
nomination. Poor Theodore!

POLITICAL GRATITUDE.

While the 'Spoils System" is, of course,
to be decried, gratitude in politics is the
bedrock upon which the whole political
fabric must rest; and ingratitude, the
cause for ruin of every political struc
ture, good or bad, in the annals of Mary
land affairs
Just at this time a striking example of
wretched ingrattude in politics is furnish
ed by one Knox, in Baltimore county, a
gentleman who owes his political being
to Mr.. J. Fred Talbot, who put him i'll
Office, if you will, kept him there for six
years, and is now very bad william in
deed because he will not retain him longer.
To Mr. Knox's mind it depends en-
tirely upon who Mr.. Talbot favors for
the particular position, to which he Knox
aspires, whether Mr.. Talbot is general
leader" or 'tyrannical boss"
There is good deal of the absurd in a
row like the one now going on in Balti-
more county, from the fact that Mr.. Knox,
who never amounted to anything until
Mr.. Talbot assisted him into his present
Office, is attempting to run an indepen-
dent movement, where a man of the great
popularity of the late Milton W. Offutt
failed as signally as he did, in the last
primary election, not only to carry a
single district in Baltimore county, but
even his own precinct.
Fred Talbot may be "boss," but Mr..
Knox's whimperings for recognition from
him don't elevate that gentleman in the
slightest degree, and his position would
be more tenible were his political il
gratitude less glazing and his present
stand less absurd and weak.

THE REAL ISSUE.

While there has been very little discus
sion of the admirable administration of
State affairs, during the past four years,
in the present campaign, citizens who are
proud of the good name of Maryland
should not forget that the conduct of
these affairs is really the point at issue
which will be passed upon in the election
of November 3rd. If the republicans win
it will be equivalent to condemnation
of the present democratic administration,
and will be an announcement to the
country that the people by their votes do
not approve of what has been done in
public matters since Governor Smith and
the other State officials took charge in
January, 1900.
Such verdict on the part of the voters
would be particularly unjust in view of
the actual state of the case. No better or
more economical administration has been
seen in the entire history of the State.
The financial affairs have been so well
and carefully managed that the State debt
has been practically wiped out, and the
next General Assembly will be able, as a
result of this care, to reduce the State
tax to minimum or, what is better, do
away with it altogether. This excellent
showing is entirely due to the ability of
the Board of Public Works which is COM
posed of Governor, Comptroller and
Treasurer.
The institutions of the State were
never in as good condition as at the pre-
sent time This applies to all the great
charitable and penal institutions in Mary
land which are second to none in the
country and, in at least two instances
viz: the Penitentiary and the House of
Correction, are known everywhere as
models. In fact these two institutions
have acquired such fame as models that
commissioners from almost every State in
the Union make frequent visits of investi-
CATION to them in order to gets points to
govern them in the management of those
of their own commonwealth.
The legislation passed by the General
Assembly during these four year OF
democratic rule has been of such charac
ter as to commend it to all clear ind
ed citizens, not biased by partisan pre-
JUDGE.

The Chamber or nlu luS
face and took a little dab into politics
at it's meeting last night. 1t was un-
animously agreed that it was not
politics and most of the members
present took a turn at the speech
making to prove that it was not. 1t
was decided that it was merely look
ing after the best interests of the CITY.
AS this did not necessarily mean
politics, the members dropped the
word and proceeded to discuss that
subject.
The Chamber of Commerce has
placed itself on record as believing
that Frank B. Henry and Hugh Tim
minis are incompetent for this most
important office" meaning comp
troller for the city. Mr.. Henry and
Mr.. Timmins are the nominees of the
Republicans and Democrats respec-
lively for that office. The chamber
expressed it's "hearty approval of the
movement now under way for the
nomination of a suitable person" for
comptroller. Why stop with comp
troller? Admitting that a competent
man is needed for that office, are not
equally competent men needed for the
: other city offices? If a competent
amc6esdV Apr comptroller who
ely audits the as1l wits as the city
money is handled, how <eh more,
then, are competent men neeoet ITO
fill the offices where all the expendit-
ures are authorized?
If the Chamber of Commerce is
working only for the best interests of
the CITY, as it declares, rather than
dabbling in politics, something which
it processes to abhor, it will not stop
at the comptroller's office and cry for
a competent man. 1t would take all
the nominees of both parties and,
with one or two exceptions, demand
an entire new ticket filled with com
petent men. In declaring Mr.. Henry
and Mr.. Timmins incompetent for the
comptroller Office and saying nothing
about any of the other candidates, the
Chamber of Commerce has declared
the nominees of the two parties for
aldermen, school commissioners and
excise commissioners fully competent.
II it has not, then it has dabbled in
politics singing out two men for
attack. In comparing Mr.. Henry and
MI. Tlmmins with the other candi-
dates on their respective tickets it
would seem that they are just as com
petent to be comptroller as some of
the men put up by the Republicans
and Democrats are to be aldermen,
school commissioners or excise COM
missioners.
TIA comptroller is incompetent and
gets his books in a muddle, the city
can, with some expense, have the
books Strengthened out, but if an in
: competent Board of Aldermen spend
thousands of dollars of the city's
money..no expert can be hired at any
price, to get it back again or correct
the mistakes made.
Mr.. Voorhees, is a very capable nan
and has filed the Office of comptroller
with much ability. This is admitted
by men of all parties. But how will
the Chamber of Commerce explain its
apparent indifference In the welfare
of the city when aldermen and school
commissioners were being nominated?
II the chamber has the welfare of the
city at heart it will not be afraid to
dabble in municipal politics. The
fact is, if a great many men who "do
not care to daDble in politics" would
come out and DO a little "dabbling"
there would be no need of independ-
2 emit tickets.

JAPANESE
Experts to Study Methods of
Culture in Far East.

The United States fish commission
has sent an expert to Japan for the
purpose of studying terrapin culture
as practised in that country, where they
seem to have succeeded in breeding the
turtles by a~rtifce. 1t is true that the
Japanese terrapin is not the same spe-
cies as ours, but its habits are similar,
and there Is reason to p that
like methods of culture might be sue
cessful in the United States, says the
New York Herald.
The matter is of no small i'm
p~ortance, inasmuch as our terrapfn is
on the verge of extinction. 1t used to
be vastly numerous, especially in the
neighborhood of the Chesapeake, and
in 1850 diamond backs sold in Balti-
o for 122 cents apiece. But they
have been literally hunted almost to
the point of extermination,. and at the
present time they fetch 500 a dozen.
The japanese species, which is said
to be equal to our own in flavor, is
known as the 'suppon." and, like the
American terrapin, is an inhabitant of
tidal waters and salt marshes. Arti-
fetal ponds with a muddy bottom are
employed for rearing purposes, with a
low fence to prevent the turtles from
escaping. The pond is shallow, and at
laying time. in early summer, the fe-
males climb out on the bank. scratch a
shallow hole and deposit their eggs.
finally covering them up and leaving
them to be matched by the heat of the
sun. Nets are snread to prevent birds
from digging up the eggs.

Every voter in the Fifth Ward

the expert VINO has charge of the new
voting machine which will be used
there in the coming election. Whether
he approves of the method or not, the
machine has been placed there for
trial. 1t has been done by the State
legislature and that body makes the
laws of the State. If the machine is
an improvement over the old way of
balioting, and there are many reasons
to believe it is, the system should be-.
come universal and the sooner the
voters familiarize themselves with the
new method the sooner will it become
as easy as the present method.
The voting machine has the great
advantage of putting every man on
his own metal. No ballott already
pasted and fixed for him, a be forced
in his hand for him to vote it. With
the machine he has got to have a
mind of his own and if there is any
liking" to be done, he must fix it
himself. AS far as objections thus
far raised, the machine promises to be
a great success.
