The eoRMAN DEMOCRATS
Their DIsuraOsfuI RECORD In the Mary
land Legislature
Baltimore American.

Baltimore American
The Maryland Legislature Of 1904 was
the most partisan awmaking body that
ever sat in this State. 1t went to the very
extreme in its craftsmanship and allowed no
considerations of public interest or OF the
future welfare Of the people to stand in it's
way. Its large Democratic majority, go
large that it could look with contempt ON
all Republican opposition 10 its plans, was
elected on wholly unwarrantable race is-
sue. In seeking to gain their ends, to 30
cripple the minority party that it could
never again prove an important factor in
Maryland election, the Democrats Of the
Legislature of 1904, against the wishes and
against the protests Of their own Gov
ernor, ignoring his power to veto their ac'
ton, went even further in the way of dis.
franchsement than even the States of the
far South. They made no secret of their
plans, but even boosted Of them. They
gave no heed to the protest of many of the
ablest and most farseeing members OF the
party; men who have been lifelong Demo.
Gratis and whose fealty has never been
called in question.

The Mormons Fall Both Ways
Providence Journal.

fTONluSuCt JOuAhaA'
When he was on the stand at Washing
ton, President Smith, of the Utah HER
archy, admitted that bis course in living
with five wives was contrary to the laws of
the Government and the church, but on
Sunday at Salt Lake City the general con-
ference of the Latter Day Saints upheld
him in bis declaration that he intends to
continue to live with his plural helpmeets.
Apostle Lyman remarked "We are here
that we may multiply and replenish the
EARTH" and added; when President
Smith stands up to speak we know that
the Lord speaks through that man."
Plainly, there is great moral callousness,
not to mention its accompaniment f in
telectual obtuseness, in the ranks of the
Utah 'saints."

THE AUTOMOBILE
A $35, 900 Machlns-What VIII Happen
When Good Roads Are Provided.
Savannah News.


A Cleveland man has recently had con-
structed for his use and pleasure an auto
mobile OF 300 horse power, capable of
seating comfortably twenty. eight people
and making speed of tortv miles an
any grade rp to 20 per cent, with ease,
and is luxuriousy fitted. A description
says that it will prove almost ~ conyen-
lent as a Pullman Cur to those who travel
in it. 1t cost S35, 900. and is almost as
large as Il railway locomotive.
This great automobile is doubtless a
forerunner of means Of transportation
that may resoutonize travel before a
great many years have passed. Good
roads are being built all over the country
A bill before Congress proposes national
aid to good road construction. Mean
while automobile builders are steadily i'm
proving their vehicles and reducing their
price. Is it not easily to be seen where
this evolution will lead? When the coun'
try becomes covered with network OF
good roads, and the automobile builders
have produced cate, fast and reliable low
priced auto-carrages, what is more nat
ural than that large percentage OF the
travel should be over the improved coun-
try roads in such carriages?
The operating expense will be less than
that Of locomotive, and the comforts of
travel in the automobile will not be much
less than in the car. There will, Of course,
be no speedy change from railroad to au'
tomobile travel, generally speaking, but
the trend seems to be in that direction.

A Change In immigration.

New York Commercial.
0. P. Austin, Chief of the Bureau Of
Statistics in the Department of Commerce
and Labor at Washington, GALE attention
to the fact that 1.-THE percentage OF resi-
dents of foreign birth in this country was
greater in 1870 than it is now" The use
of the percentage system in statistics is
often misleading. While it is true that
the percentage of foreign born residents
was larger in 1870 than it is now, the fact
remains that there is double the number
over 10000, 0OO-of these residents in
the United States today than there was
thirty odd years ago. At no time has i'm
migration been 50 heavy as during the
last two years, and the cry is "still they
come" And the trouble is that large
proportion of these latter day immigrants
not only arrive here practically penniless,
but they do not assimilate as readily with
our institutions and ways as did the immi.
grants from Northern Europe, who con-
stituted the bulk of the new corners two
and three decades ago.

The reason for the heavy loss of life
among the canal builders when the French
were in charge is found in the fact that
absolutely no health precautions were
taken. On the other hand, the Americans
have found, as the result of experiments
at Havana and Santiago IN Cuba and at
points in the Philippines, that danger of
disease can be completely eradicated; and
this being true, due regard for the value
of human life will dictate the exercise of
every agency known to science to clear up

SUBSERVIENT DEMOCRACY

Several times recently we have accused
the Southern Democracy of being subser'
Went, and have, by reference to its record
for the past thirty years, proved that our
accusation was truth. Some of our Viz
GINA contemporaries have been resentiDg
this charge and have endeavored to deny
it's correctness. There has also been a
manifest disposition on the part of some Of
the leaders and Democratic journals to
break the long record of subserviency made
by the party at the South. Apparently
that was the meaning of the recent move
ment to have a Southern man chosen as
the Democratic candidate for President.
That movement, however, has been side
tracked, and we are now Witnessing the
most intense display of subservlency by
Southern Democratic leaders that they
have ever shown. In their eager desire to
win and enjoy the benefits that accompany
the control of Federal patronage, they
seem disposed to violate all the high rules
of independence and to lay aside all regard
for selfrespect.
A press dispatch from Washington in
forms us that there was conference at
the Capitol on the 1st inst. held 10y the
Democratic Senators with August Bel
mont, of New York, representing Judge
Parker. When this conference Of three
hours or more was over, Mr.. Belmont was
sent back to New York with a message
from the Democrats of the Senate That
message was to Charles F. Murphy, the
"Tammany Boss" 1t was as follows:
."Alow the delegation from New York
to st. Louis to be instructed for Parker
and he will be nominated. The South and
West look for such instructions and they
will insure his nomination. The South
and West are ready to follow New York's
lead, support Parker and effect his nomi.
nation on the first ballot"
Of all the trucking spirit or acts shown
or done by the Democrats of the South
this 10 the most disgraceful. How the
Democratic Senators call themselves indie
pendent after obsequiously addressing the
coarse Boss" of the corrupt Tammany
organization, saying 10 him; "Allow the
delegation from New York to st. Louis to
be instructed for Parker and he will be
nominated?"
There has been a great deal Of bitter
ness expressed by Southern Democracy
for both MIR. Cleveland and Mr.. Bryan be-
cause of their evident disposition to dictate
policy and candidate for the party, The
opposition of the Southern press and lead
ers to these gentlemen on the lines indi-
Gated would be entitled to more respect if
that opposition was more consistent. Die
tation from such men as Cleveland and
Bryan, 1t seems to us, would be far more
endurable to honorable men than bending
the knee to a "boss" of a VIGOROUSLY cor
rupt organization like Tammany. boss
Murphy" now stands in the relation OF su'
preme dictator to the national Democracy.
He will virtually be permitted and re-
ouested to name the Presidential candi-
date for the party, and Southern Democ-
racy will have to follow bis lead. Why2
They can't win without New York, and to
win they are willing to sacrifice principle,
independence and self respect.

That the Democrats are working for
1908, when they profess to be laboring for
success in 1904 is more than probable;
but nevertheless Republicans should not
relax in the slightest degree in their pur-
pose to get out their full vote for President
Roosevelt next November. The more
emphatic the Republican triumph is made
in 19O4the easier will be success in 1908.

Why Chlnaware Is Imported.

William Carr, in New York Times.
Regarding true china, l have little
hope of our accomplishing much in the
immediate future. France now sends US
most of our finest china. These goods are
shipped here, duty Of so per cent. il
paid, and they can be sold for less than
we can make them. The difference ia
caused by the higher cost of labor in the
United States. While our potters get
$3.50 to S. a day, workers In Europe are
paid an equivalent of 81 to So a week
The child labor of Europe helps the for
eign manufacturers in producing wares at
comparatively slight cost. There Is no
technical difficulty in our producing china
strong, translucent, and 10 every way
equal to what is made abroad. But the
total amount of real china made here will
remain insignificant until somebody de-
vises way for overcoming the advantages
which the Europeans possess in their
cheap labor"
