EX-GOVERNOR JACKSON.

The speech of Ex- Governor
Jackson will be one OF the docu-
meuts Of the campaign. 1t Is as
follows:
~ hen several weeks ago. [
was requested by some of my
friends 10 make an address TO this
convention | declined the invita-
ton. Is | am not III the habit Of
making public speeches and have
not a voice sufficiently Stroug TO
enable me 10 talk 10 large audi
enceS. But. in view of the recent
criticisms that have been made
with reference 10 my views on the
proposed Constitutional Amend
meur. l cannot refrain from say
Ing a few words. Notwithstaud-
ing that | have Oh several occa-
sious clearly stated my position.
there seems 10 be a disposition in
certain quarters 10 misrepresent
ny views and motives.
Il want 10 say 10 you, gentle
men. with such emphasis that
there may hereafter be no question
about it, that l favor the adoption
OF the Franchise Amendment, not
because Mr.. German is for it. nor
because Governor WarieId Is said
70 be against it, and without ref
erenee 10 what Senator Rayner's
position may De: but l favor it be-
cause | am fully satisfied that It's
adoption will be for the best in
terests of all the people Of the
State, regardless OF politics or of
patty.
u do not regard ii as a party
question, but as q great public
question, involving the welfare
and the peace of our State and
her people from a business and
social stanpoint. For this reason
Iregret that the Republican party
is making it a party issue. The
convention ought, in my Iudg-
ment, 10 iudorSe the Amendment,
not because it may or may not
perpetuate the Democratic party
in power, as some contend. but
IN the same spirit that it would in
dOrse any other proposition hav-
ing for its aim and object good
government and the growth of
the State.
The truth is, | am one ofthose
who do not believe. as some pro.
less to fear, that the elimination
of the negro from politics will
tend 10 perpetuate the DemOcra
tie party in power. On the con
trary l believe that the disfrau
chisement OF the ignorant aud IL
llIerate negro will increase 10 a
very large extent independent
voting. There are thousands Of
persons in Maryland today who
vote the Democratic. ticket. who
ever may be its candidates. be
cause they know there are 80, 100
negroes in the State who at every
election bliudly, uniutelIigentIy
aud without any thought or con
Germ for the financial or business
interests Of she State go TO the
polls aud vote the Republican
ticket. They give no more thought
70 men and issues today than they
did thirty five years ago.
Ger ain it is that the chief
effect of the adoption of the Con.
Stlrutional Amendment will he 20
diSfrauchlse the negro. | hope
no one wants me to emphasize the
fact that the intelligence of Mary.
land is TO be found among the
white people. Ii follows. then,
that the adoption of the Amend.
ment and consequent elimination

crease Intelligent voting. If by
increasing Intelligent voting the
Democratic party is to be perpet-
uated IN power, then every good
citizen who has the interest of his
State at heart should agree with

tractors will buy the cheapest
labor they can get, and white
people cannot compete with such
labor as will be brought here
from other States on account OF
the negro protection. Baltimore

mercial relations, will be greatly
injured by such an influx OF
negroes.
Il appeal TO every white man

MARKING THE KINGS SWANS.
How the cygnets of the Thames Are
Identified.
From the London News.

From the London News.
Last year the custom of marking the
Thames swans was initiated, and yes
terday men under L. r. Abnett, the
kings ~swanherd, were again engaged
on this years brood OF the cygnets in
the upper portion of the river. Six
pair of Dared skiffs were engaged in
the operation, the fulfllment of which
will occupy about a week. 1t iS sal
that the yea has been q good one, and
tina the cygnets are rather more nu-
merous han was the case last year.
Mr.. Abnett explained the meaning
and method of '.upping," as the mark
ing is termed.
1--WE go out in six boats, myself. two
other swanmastcrs and thirteen others,
sixteen altogether, and we get around
the young birds by forming a semi
circle, then we gradually drive up,
close in and catch them"
Much difficulty"
Sometimes. The young beggars are
very lively. But we go quietly at 1t.
and the old birds are very tame, and
quite used TO boats and people. Still,
I'm catching your bird you have to be
careful you don't tumble yourself out
on top OF ii and into the stream. We
catch hold of them by the leg generally,
That does not hurt them. Then you
turn their legs up on top OF their wings
and they become helpless
Then what do you nick them with
some special kind Of machine?"
"Oh, no, just an ordinary pocket
knife. We only make scratches on the
upper mandible, not very deep. but
they V grow out or wear off,.
What marks do you make?"

Chicago, Sept.-The Peruna Drug
Manufacturing Company, manufac-
turers of a widely known proprietary
medicine, has brought suit in the Su-
perior Court of the city of Chicago
against the Curtis Publishing Com
pany OF Philadelphia, alleging that it
has been damaged to the extent Of
$25O.OD by a recent article in the
Ladies' Home Journal.
The suit is based on a statement re-
Gently made in that journal that a tes-
timonial as to the merit of the remedy
manufactured by the plaintiff. alleged
to have been given by Congressman
George H.. White of South Carolina
was fraudulent, denial from Mr.. White
that be ever gave such a testimonial
also being printed.
The Peruna Company declares that
Congressman White did give the tes-
timonial in good faith, that it has two
original letters from Mr.. White. 1t
declares hat Mr.. White was led to
repudiate the testimonial through a
misunderstanding.
This is the second large damage suit
that has been filed against the Curtis
Publishing Company since it inaugu-
rated It's attacks on patent medi-
cines."

I tha yarv ex,,berapce of his ~malignance.
and his face was like the face or a man
in a fit.
Twas then that I saw the pointing OF
his villainy and knew what Margery
had meant when she said that Tor rea-
sons of his own he was holdlng my
BETRAYAL in allegiance. He was Falcon
nets successor and my rival. This lit
tie reptile aspired to be the master OF
my fathers acres and the husband or
my dear lady! And his holding OFT
from ~denouncing me at once was also
explained. Taking 1t for granted that
the wife would bargain for the hus-
bands life, he had made a whip or MS
leniency to fog Margery into subJec-
ton.
My determination was taken upon the
instant. There was no safety for Mar
gerry whilst this plotting pettifogser
was at large, and | stepped to the door
and called the sentry. The Darn
stadter came back and | pointed to the
lawyer. Then, indeed, the furious little
madman found his tongue and shrilled
out his defiance.
Course you!" he yelled. I'll have
quits with you for this, Master Spy!
'Tis your hearing now, but mine Will
come, and you shall hang like a dog!
I'll follow you to the n d of the earth
I'll"
/ made a sign and the soldier
brought his musket into play
and pricked his prisoner with the
bayonet in token that time pressed
So we were rid of the lawyer in bodily
presence, though / could hear his
snarlings and s%pittings as the big
Darmstadter ran him out at the bay
onet's point.
During this tilt between his factor
and me, Mr.. Gilbert Stair had stood
apart, watchful but trembling. When
we were alone l said:
Nov, Mr.. Stair, / shall trouble you
to billet me somewhere in your house,
as q member of my lords family. Lead
on, if o please, and I'll follow"
He went before me without a word,
out of the little den and up the broad
stair, doddering like a mar grown ten
years older in a breath, and catching
at the balustTade to steady himself as
we assembled. The room he ave me
was at an angle in one of the crookings
of the corridor. and pointing me to the
door he went pottering away, still
without a word or a look behind him.
The door was on the latch, but 1t
gave reluctantly, letting me in sud-
denly, when l set my shoulder to it.
There was Il quick little cry, half OF
anger, half of alright, from within. l
drew back hastily, with a muttered
curse upon the old mans spite, and in
the act my spur caught the door and
slammed it shut behind me.
For reasons known only to Omnis-
cience and to himself, Gilbert Stair had
shown me TO my lady's chamber; she
was standing, with her bodice off, be-
fore the oval mirror on the high dress
ing case.

HOW l RODE POST ON THE KINGS
BUSINESS.

If a look might be a leven-stroke TO
do a man to death, / warrant you my
lady's flashing eyes would have crisped
me to a cinder where l stood fumbling
with one hand behind me for the latch
of the slammed door. Scorn, indigna-
ton, outraged maiden modesty, all
these thrust at me like air-drawn dag
gers, and ii needed not her, "Fie. for
shame, Captain Ireton!-and you
would call yourself a gentleman to
set me aire with prinldings of abash-
ment!"
What could / say or do? The ac-
cursed doorlatch would not lnd itself
to let me fly; and as for eXcusings, I
could not tell her that her own ia
Their had thrust me thus upon he".
Yet, had she let me be, l hope | should
have had the wit to find the door fas-
tening and the grace to run away; in
truth, | had the latch in hand when
she dashed out at me again, and my
tingling shame began to give place to
that master-devil of passion which is
never more than half whipped into sub
lection in the best of us.
How are you better thar the man
you warned me Off" she cried. And
then, in a tempest of grief: 'Oh, you
would not leave me the respect l bore
you; you would even rob me of that to
fling 1t down n trample it under
foot!"
Figure to yourselves, my dears, that
l was wholly blameless in this unhappy
breaking and entering, and so, may
hap, you may find excuse for me. For
now, though l could have gone, l would
not. Her glorious beauty, heightened
beyond compare by the passionate out
burst, held me ~spellbound. And at my
ear the master-devil whispered: She
is your welded wife: yours for better
or worse, till death part you. Who has
a better right to loo upon her thus?
So it was that the love-madness
came upon me again, and that thin
veneering wherewith the Christian CEN
turtles have SO painfully overlaid the
natural man in us was cracked and riv-
en-, and the barbarian which lies but
skin deep underneath bestirred him
self and winked and blinked himself
awake in giant might, as did the pri-
NAL man when he rose up to LOOK about
him for his mate.

YOU have NO RIGHT
To Suffer from Constipation, Bowel
and Stomach Trouble.
9. What is the beginning of sickness
A. Constipation.

Q. What is the beginning of sickness
A. Constipation.
Z. What is Constipation?
A. Failure Of the bowels to carry of the
waste matter which lies In the alimentary
canal where 1t decays and poisons the en-
tire system. Eventually the results are
death under the name of some other dis
ease. Note the deaths from typhoid fever
and appendicitis, stomach and bowel trou-
bic, at the present time.
q. What causes Constipation?
A. Neglect to respond to the call of Ma
ture promptly. Lack Of exercise. Excess
slye brain work. Mental emotion and i'm
proper diet.
Q. What are the results of neglected
Constipation
A. Constipation causes more suffering
than any other disease. 1t causes rheuma-
tism, colds, fevers, stomach, bowel, kidney,
lung and heart troubles, etc. 1t is the one
disease that starts all others. Indigestion,
dyspepsia, diarrhea, loss of sleep and
strength are Its symptoms-piles, appendi-
citis, and tlstula. are caused by Constlpa-
ton. Its consequences are known to all
physicians, but few sufferers realize their
condition until 1t is too late. Women be-
come confirmed inyalids as a result of Con-
stip2tion.
Q. DO physicians recognize this?
A. Yes. The first question your doctor
asks you Is Are you Constipated?' That
Is the secret.
Q. Can 1t be cured? .
A. Yes, with proper treatment. The
common error is to resort to physics, such
as pills, salts, mineral water, castor oil,
injections, etc, every one of which is in-
furious. They weaken and increase the
malady. You know this by your own ex-
perience.
Q. What then should be done to cure It?
A. Get a bottle OF MulFs Grape Tonic at
once. Mulls Grape Tonic will positively
cure Constipation and stomach trouble in
the shortest space Of time. No other rem
edy has before been known TO cure Con-
stipation positively and permanently.
q. What Is MulIs Grape Tonic2s
A. 1t is Q compound with 40 per cent
of the juice of Concord Grapes. 1t exerts
a peculiar strengthening, healing influence
upon the intestines, so that they can do
their work unaided. The process Is grad
ual, but sure. 1t Is not a physic. 1t Is
unlike anything else you have ever used.
but 1t cures Constipation, Dysentery, Stom-
ech and Bowel trouble. Having a rich,
fruity grape flavor, 1t is pleasant to take.
AS a tonic 1t Is unequalled, insuring the
system against disease. 1t strengthens and
builds up waste tissue.
Q. Where can Mulps Grape Tonic be
had?
A. Your druggist sells 1t. The dollar
hottie contains nearly three times the 90
cent size.
Good for ailins children and nursing
mothers.
A free bottle TO all who have never used
It. because we know 1t will cure you.

ANALYSIS OF THE PEERAGE.
Make-Up of the British Aristocracy of
the Period.

London Truth: Progress is revolution
In disguise and by degrees a well known
tory has recently said: 1T is destined to
make the peers powerless and the poor
prosperous The description will remind
many of the phrase uttered by Cromwell:
There will never be a good time in Eng
land till we have done with the lords
What Is the value of our peerage of to-
day? Lord Beaconsfield answered the
question in "Coningsby' many years ago:
Ancient lineage said Mr.. ,Millbank, L
never heard of a peer with an ancient lin
cage. The real old families of this coun-
try are to be found among the peasantry:
the gentry, too, may lay some claim 10 old
blood. ! can point you out Saxon families
in this country who can trace their pedi-
grees beyond the conquest; l know of
some Norman gentlemen whose fathers
undoubtedly came over with the CON-
queror. But a peer with an ancient lin
cage is to me quite a novelty. No, no.
the thirty years wars OF the roses freed
US from those gentlemen. ] take il, after
the battle OF Tewkesbury, a Norman baron
was almost as rare a being in England
as a wolf is now
- have always understood said Con-
ingsby, that our peerage was the finest
In Europe
From themselves said Millbank; and
the heralds they pay to paint their car
riages, But ] go 10 facts. When Henry
VII. called his first parliament there were
only twenty-nine temporal peers TO be
found, and even some of them took their
seats illegally. for. they had been at
tainted. or those twenty-nine not 1--WE re-
main, and they, as the Towards, for in
stance. are not Norman nobility. We owe
the English peetage TO three sources-the
spoliation of the church, the open and
fragrant sale of honors by the elder
Stuarts, and the borough-mongering OF our
own times. Those are the three main
! sources OF the existing peerage OF Eng
land. and In my opinion disgraceful
ones
Lord Beaconstield might have added a
fourth origin Of the existing poerage. to-
wit. the bestowal Of honors upon the mis-
~tresses OF the kings and their illegifimate
children. This decorous nation. therefore,
delights TO honor those who have inherited
titles from such shameful sources:
