AB0U BEN GORMAN.

An editorial writer for the Wash
ington ECening Star has phrased an
allegorical conception of Germans at
titude upon the tariff. Possessing as
it does the virtue of truth and the
cleverness of wit, it's reproduction is
herewith undertaken:
Abou Ben Commands tribe had
increased considerably at the latest
presidential election one night
in the spring of 1894 and found an an
gel writing in his room. He was not
at all surprised, because the Democ-
racy had often needed and secured
angels in its business So he asked
very calmly: What are you writing
there?"
And the angel replied: Those who
love the Star-eyed Goddess of Tariff
Reform Revision is at hand, and. m
polling the Democrats OF the Senate. -
as my name on the list?' inquired
Abou Ben German.
1t is not, replied the angel, with
just shade OF reproach in his tone.
"Would you object to giving me
the names of those who are, and what
they stand for?" said Abou Ben Cor
man, with that note of persuasion in
his tone for which he is justly famous.
Certainly not, y said the angel, and
forthwith began to read. Butler of
South Carolina says he must have a
good stiff duty on cotton manufac-
lures. iPugh of Alabama serves notice
that coal and iron ore must remain
on the dutiable list. White of Louis
lana is riotously opposed-to the pro-
position to put sugar on the free list.
Murphy of New York has his own
thought about collars and cuffs, and
declares that the shop at Troy where
such things are turned out must be
remembered. Smith of New Jersey
wants thousand manufactured
things remembered. Hill of New
York swears that If the income tax
provision remains he'll vote against
the BILL
The angel paused and Abou Ben
German sighed YEARLY. And yet
only eighteen months ago they were
all challenging the protected indus
tries of America to battle to the
death, and they appeared to win the
battle,'
There was silence for a minute and
then the angel spoke. Your name
ought to be here. How shall | record
it?''
Abou Ben German looked at the
angel, and then Rat the ceiling, illu-
mined by the angels presence in the
room. "You are right" he replied.
Put me down as one who wants a
tariff BILL
The angel wrote, and vanished.
After few months tariff bill was
passed. Butler and Pugh; White,
Murphy and Smith; Tom, Dick and
Harry-all had had their way. Every
body had got something. But 10, for
the multiplicity of things obtained,
for the smashing of the whole tariff
reform propaganda, the name of Abou
Ben German led all the rest.

NEITHER SIDE GAINING
Deadlock Seems to Be on Between Rayner
and Smith.

otNtis " On DciNtth
and Smith.
There seems to be a deadlock be-
tween Mr.. Isidor Rayner and Cover
nor John Walter Smith in the Sena-
torial fight. 1t is known that neither
candidate has sufficient number of
members-elect of the Legislature
pledged to insure the necessary 46
votes, which will form a bare major
ity in the Democratic caucus, but, al
though the friends of each are strain
ing every nerve, verv little progress
is being made on either side.
Mr.. Rayner declines to give the
names of all the Delegates who are
pledged to him, saying that to do so
would only subject his supporters to
worry and pressure from the organi-
zation leaders.
1t is well known that Mr. Rayner
has the pledges of 20 of the Democra-
tic members of the city delegation
and three from Baltimore county.
He also has the pledges of two of the
Delegates elected from Hartford coun-
ty, and certainly one, and possibly
two, from Montgomery county. The
doubtful Montgomery man is Dr.
Benjamin F. Lansdale, who, it is
stated, has announced his intention
of voting for Mr.. Rayner This would
apparently give Mr.. Rayner 2G or 81
votes to start with in the balloting in
the caucus.
Governor Smith, it is stated, has
not asked for pledges, but has con-
tented himself with requesting all the
Democratic members elect of the Leg
islature to give his candidacy favor
able consideration. His friends claim
that on the first ballot he will have
the votes of the delegations from
Anne Arundel, Caroline, Carroll,
Howard, Kent, Queen Anne's, Som
erset, Talbot md Worcester counties
80 in all-with probably 10 from
other counties, thus making As, or
two more than the necessary caucus
majority. Should Congressman j. F.
G. Talbot and former Congressman
Joshua W. Miles hold the four un-
pledged members from Baltimore
county and the delegation from Som
erset county for themselves, Governor
Smith, it is admitted, will not have a
majority en- the first ballot. Wicom-
leo county will vote for former Gov
ernor E. E. Jackson, and in the event
of a prolonged deadlock he may be-
come an impOItan factor in the CON
test.
The Republican leaders say their
members will take no part whatever
in settling the Democratic wrangle,
as such political play, while it may
discomfort the enemy temporarily,
always forms embarrassing alliances
which prove disastrous in the end.
They say their policy will be to put
! themselves on record as supporting
measures in the best interest of the
people of the State and to profit by
the mistakes which they feel the un-
wieldly Democratic majority in each
branch Of the Legislature will make.

useful as headquarters for the people

The commissioners propose to ex-

An architect will assist the commits
sioners in perfecting tentative plans,
so that they can go before the Legis-
lature with every detail anticipated
and arranged.
The style of the proposed building
will be Colonial, and it is proposed, if
possible, to reproduce one of the
many Colonial houses of the State
having historic associations, such as
the Carvel House in Annapolis, the
pepcrv Stewart HOuSa or Uva Houea
in Talbot county. If funds are avail

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomaChs.
: Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

Notwithstanding this fact the scores
made were, as a rule. not up to the
average. No excellent scores were
made. The failure of the men to hit
the bulrs-eye with the customary reg

the interest which was evinced in the
contests or make the afternoon less en-
joyable. A good crowd was out and
the officers Of both companies express

contests.
One of the pleasant features of the
meet was the presence of a large num-
Der of veterans, honorary and pay

number was the largest which has at
tended the annual contests i'm many
years. The presence of a great many
of these was induced by the handsome

Storm May Not Come This Direc-
ton.
hurricane similar to the one which
passed over Florida and the most
southern portions of Alabama and
Georgia is forming south of the Ba-
hamas. Its tendency will be to move
toward the land, and though as yet lit
tie is known concerning it's force or its
direction the northeast storm warnings
have been posted at Jupiter and Miami.
The Savannah Weather Bureau has
been advised to use all caution in
watching the movements of the barom-
eter, etc, and ships should be on their
guard. The following telegram was re-
ceived at the Weather Bureau at 6
o'clock:
Washington, D. c., Sept. 22.-North-
east storm warnings ordered up at Ju-
piter and Miami at $50 o'clock Dis
turbance south of the Bahamas ap-
parently moving north. The exact To-
cation is at present unknown. Further
advices tonight"
At $3.50 o'clock the following advisory
telegram was received from the Wash
ington bureau:
No further developments in vicinity
of the Bahamas. but the pressures are
still falling over Florida. Caution is
advised until further advices Wednes-
day morning"
This is all the information the
Weather Bureau has from which to
judge the nature of the storm, but the
probabilities are that it is one of the
recent storms. Nothing can be said re-
garding it's intensity.
An examination of the weather map
yesterday morning and a comparison
with the barometric pressures report
ed last night from Florida stations
show that there has been a consider
able drop and the pressures are still
falling. This is taken as an indication
of the approach of the storm, and the
storm warnings have been ordered
hoisted as a precautionary measure.
AS to the direction which the storm
will take nothing can be said, as there
are only meagre facts on which to
base any prediction. The probability
of a northern movement was reported
in the telegram. There is no danger
to Savannah yet, and it may be that
the storm will not strike the coast at
all. Notification will be sent as soon
as there is the least indication of a
movement in this direction. At mid
night there were no new developments.
Barometer Is Falling.
At 2:30 o'clock this morning the
