In a Winter OF such exceptional rigor
would it be unreasonable to suggest that

thus stored unprotected in the open,
would not the loss soon more than cover
the cost Of putting it under lock and Key !!
Perhaps not but we venture yet one
more guess that il would.

feels like passing harsh Judgment upon
their actions ; but we do think that in all

they owe it to the public and themselves
to see to it that they administer the pub
lie concerns in a business like fashion
and as economically and as carefully as
they would their own affairs.

THE UNJUST MARYLAND BALLOT Law

The Maryland Democrats are
building great hopes of success
at the next election on the new
law abolishing party designations
on the ballotin Republican coun-
ties. This was one of the shame
less partisan laws passed by the
recent Legislature. It only ap-
plies to eleven counties in the
State, and these are not all con-
tiguous. The illiteracy in some
, of the exempted-connties is much
greater than in some Of those to
which the law applies but these
exempted counties are Demo
cratic, which was the only reaaon
for relieving them from the law.
In Howard County, for in
stance, which is the home county
of Senator German and Governor
Warfield, there is a much larger
illiterate vote than in Garret and
some other counties to which the
law applies. But Howard is ex-
empt because it is safely Demo
cratic. In the last census year
there were 5000 illiterate white
voters in the State, and only "a,
600 illiterate colored voters. But
this new act is made to apply to
$4,000 colored voters and only to
about 5000 white voters, and they
are in Republican counties. This
law applies an educational test
to voters living in few counties
only, all of the remainder of the
State being exempt.
In the State in general there is
party designation on the ballot,
so that an illiterate man can
easily be taught to vote his party
ticket. In the eleven counties to
which the new law applies no
party designations are permitted,
and each name on the ballot for
which the voter desires to vote
must be separately marked. AS
these names are all mixed up and
are not in the same order on each
ballot, the voter must be able to
read them all and to remember
which party each name repre-
sents. With large ticket this
will be difficult for even an edu.
Gated voter.
Ii the law applied to every
county in the State, so that ali
were treated alike, there would
be less objection to it. But to
apply it to a few counties only,
with the avowed purpose of dis.
franchising Republicans and not
Democrats, is disgraceful. By
this means it is expected that the
new constitutional amendment
disfrancising colored men will be
adopted. 1t ought MOTTO be pos
sible for any State to apply a law
Of this kind to a few counties
only but in the Southern States
all sorts of unjust acts have beer
passed and carried into effect for
partisan ends.-Phila. Press.

SAFE BREAKERS IN TOWNSEND

Burglars visited Townsend Tuesday
night and from the number of safes they
got into and the manner in which they
did their work leaves no doubt in the
minds of the people of that town that
the robbers were experts in their line
of business. Great excitement prevailed
when it became known that the business
places of three prominent firms had been
entered and in each instance the safe rob.
bed Of its contents.
The buildings entered were those occu-
pied by J. N. d. Hart, coal and lumber
dealer; Harman Reynolds, dealer in agri-
cultural implements, and Edward Hart,
lumber merchant.
The safe in the Office of G. NJ. D. Hart
was blown open by the burglars and its
contents scattered in every direction.
There were, beside some small change a
five dollar bill and many valuable papers
in the strong box, but the latter were not
taken. The small change was gone, but
the five dollars bill was overlooked by
the intruders and found on the floor
beneath some papers.
The safes in the Offices OF Edward Hart
and Harman Reynolds were left open at
closing time Tuesday evening and were
consequently easy of access. Only ST was
secured at Hart's place and at Reynolds
about SIS in change was taken. At tile
latter place the burglars also secured a
gold watch and supply of cigars.
Five leather pocketbooks containing
valuable papers and promissory notes were
taken from the safe at Reynolds place
of business but were found neatly piled
one on top of the other beneath the wheel
Of a farm implement standing outside of
the building. In one of the pocketbooks
were promissory notes to the amount OF
$1,000, of considerable value to Mr.. Rey-
nolds, but no good to robbers.
The news of the robberies caused great
excitement when it became known and
many curious people gathered around
the buildings that had been entered.
Several strangers have been seen in the
town within the last few days and now
that the robbery has been committed
suspicion points to them.
