EVERY year the Republican
newspapers attempt to avoid
the real issues of the campaign
by crying trick ballots" and
attempting to show that they
are taken advantage of by the
Democrats. This year they
went before Acknowledgement
Straus and asked him to rem.
der "A decision regarding the
so-called black line on the bal
lots in the Wilson Ballot Law
counties. Mr.. Straus gave his
opinion last Friday and it was
published verbatum in the
Baltimore Sun. The other pa
pers garbled it and have tried
to impress the public with what
Mr.. Strauss DID NOT say rather
than with what he did say. We
have always commended that
the black line placed over every
group of candidates was an
advantage to all parties, and is
really right and proper. And
we are pleased to know that
Mr.. Straus fully agrees with
us.

CHEERFUL POLITICIANS.

There is nothing like being
cheerful in the face of ADVERSE
ty. For twenty-five years the
Republican party of Worcester
County has predicted that every
election would be won by their
party, and every time they
make nominations they declare
the conditions are more favor
able than they were last time.
1t may be well enough to whistle
up this kind of courage but the
informed person knows that
the Republican party of Wor-
cester County is no nearer to
its goal of ambition than it
was twenty five years ago, and
it never will be any nearer as
long as it is the black Republi-
can party. So long as the party
is constituted two-thirds black
and one-third white the people
of this county will not entrust
it with the administration of
office or the power of legisla-
ting for the people. tits claimed
by some there is no fear of
negro domination in Maryland
and this is a fact so long as the
white Democrat is in control.
It will not be so if the Republi-
can party should gain the as
tendency in this State. 1t is
dependent upon the negro for
success and he has sense enough
to know it. When his party
has succeeded he will make his
power felt in the administration
of the government of county and
State. The humblest white man
ofthis county realized when the
Republican party had been sue
cessful in the State the differ.
ence it made in the demeanor
of the ignorant negro. Immedi-
ately he assumed a staggering
air and a disrespect for the
white man which he bad been
afraid to assert before such q
condition came about.
In Delaware, under Republi-
can rule, the negro feels him
self of so much Importance that
he claims the right of way on
sidewalks and in public con-
veyances, regardless of white
ladies or gentlemen. Maryland
Democrats will not stand for
such conduct, and it is for this
reason that so many prominent
people as well as the humble
white man will vote for the
Amendment this year. Both
feel that the negro should not
be entitled to the voting privi-
lege of the Caucasian. Both
believe that the negro should

The ulpht Of the Firefly.

When man will attain the perfect
vacuum, then the rude ether blush Of
the electric light bulb will give forth
many times more light purified and
heatless, soft and healing, as the light
Of the stars, penetrating as the sun.
An examination Of the freely when
emitting flames or light shows bodily
movements that cannot be understood
to mean anything else than vacuum
producing. The lights are always seen
In the vacuum sack on the back. I'm
mediately before emitting light the
insect WILL fatten the body, draw the
legs In, droop the head, seemingly con-
tracing in all directions; then with
the relaxation come the flame and
light. The bodies Of the g1owworm
and FREELY always are transparent
when filled with fame. The blades Of
grass or other debris are seen plainly
through the bodies. Here are cases of
nature dealing with K Chicago

A Doai In Gum.

Some Of these little newsboys are Ne.
eourceful little mites. A day or two
ago business man dropped a silver
mounted fountain pen through the
grating in front Of building on West
Third street. They told him in the
store that there was no access to the
hole from the inside. He seemed to
be up against It. Two newsies saw
him peering down into the grating and
got interested. .....--
"1'll git 1t out fer you. mister" spoke
up one Of them, IF you'll stand the ex-
pense. It'll take about a nickels
worth O chewin' gum.~
The man said he would finance the
gum scheme, whatever it might be.
A minute or two later the boy had
dashed into store and got yard
stick. He was chewing hard on an
entire 8 cents worth Of gum. AS soon
as this was properly softened by the
process Of mastication he placed it on
the end of the yardstick. stuck the
stick through the grating until the gum
met the pen and brought the pen up
with the utmost dispatch.-Cleveland

Sand Fish.

At low tide In midsummer on Ger
tain parts Of the Breton coast men and
boys with baskets and hoes descend
the white beach TO the seas edge.
They are anglers, but the fish they
seek live on dry land. With his hoe
each fisherman makes swiftly in the
packed sand shallow parallel trenches,
very close together and about yard
long. II the luck be good every scratch
Of the hoe uncove1s three or four sstl
very fish, the size Of sardines, that
leap up gtittertng into the air. They
must be seized quickly or at once they
bury themselves IN the sand again.
They are called lancons. The smaller
ones are used for mackerel bait; the
larger, with their heads cut off. make,
fried, an excellent dish good deal
like fried smells. With daylight tides
the lancons are seldom bigger than q
mans middle finger, but with the
night tides, when promenaders have
not disturbed the sand, they run very
large indeed. Then, their lanterns flash
ing on the beach, the Breton fishermen
often capture lancons foot long.

CARVING Scissors.

II thought knew all about scis-
sors," said the man. II had seen tail
orsf scissors for cutting heavy cloth,
dressmakers' scissors for cutting fimsy
fabrics and lace and still other scissors
for cutting paper, finger nails, grape
vines, all kinds Of metals and even for
shearing sheep, but in spite Of that
wide knowledge Of scissors was puz-
zled when I saw the large, peculiarly
shaped pair Of scissors lying in the
showcase. --.-.-- j.: =
"'What are these scissors for?' l
asked the clerk.
" Carving meat he said. With
scissors Of this kind carving becomes
mere chtld's play =
~ never saw anybody use them
said I. ~
=. Nobody does use them said the
clerk-'that is, only very few. In
Europe carving scissors are popular
because they cut right through meat,

little practice to learn to manipulate
the things, and nobody in this country
has patience enough for that "-Ex-

The Southern Art Of Conversation.

The north may think it knows some
thing of conversation, but the north, as
compared with the south, may be said
never to have enjoyed a conversation.
About the village courthouse, within
the hospitable doors of some central
store, in the Office Of the local daily or
weekly paper or, above all in the lei
surely and genial intercourse around
the Preside or on the inviting porch
IN summer of friend with friends
there will be heard a conversation
which in wit, in the charm and force
OF its illustrations and in the direct
ness and freedom Of it's criticism is
not surpassed in American life today.
It IS the product of leisure, of a
world without haste, without ruthless
preoccupati tons, without those resources
Of expression and interest which be-
long to the crowded and overweighted
existence Of the commercial city. It
is, moreover, part of the tradition of
the cavalier. It Is part of the genius
Of climate and soil and social habit

Cut Heads,

The Liverpool Post has been making
observations with regard to the ''cut
heads" which are treated at the hos
pita1s between IL and 2 a. m. The
Post says that the house surgeons
have noticed a curious difference In
the sexes on different nights. On Sat-
urday nights the subjects are mostly
men who have received their wages,
redeemed their clothes from pawn and
drunk enough to lead to brawl. MOD
day night, however, is ladies night"
The men have gone to work, and the
wives have taken their husbands best
and only suit to the pawnshop, and
then 1t Is their turn to drink the pro-
ceeds and cut one anothers heads.
The usual answer to the question
'tWho did it?'' is, Another lady wot
lives In the same ,,ouse."
