Tie idii4 ali cay long as well as IN the
watches of the night. But the fact re-
mains and will not down that there new
er was time in the history of the Dem
ocratic party when it preached the doc
trIne Of nonpartisan judiciary except
IN pursuit Of its own selfish purposes.
If the contention of the Democracy is
correct. that the Court of Appeals can
be overwhelmingly Democratic and still
be nonpartisan, then, by the same argu-
ment, it must be equally true that the
bench Of the Court CT Appeals might be
exclusively Republican and still be nom
partisan. But the Democratic party
has no stomach for nonpartisanship
when 1t means the election of Republi-
can judges or other officials. The Dem
OCT cy, through persistent and long
continued partisanship, has succeeded
IN making practically the entire bench
Of MARYLAND Democratic. They now
ask the Republicans of the Fourth Ju-
dlclai Circuit to be nonpartisan in order
that they may continue it so. At long
intervals they will throw to the Rel ub-
lIcan party an associate judgeship in
Baltimore city as sort Of sop or conso-
latIcn prize. at times when they (the
Democracy are electing a number of
judges Of their own political faith. But
when 1t comes to the Court Of Appeals.
that body must be Democratic from
center TO circumference. They seem to
torsee that a time may come when the
Democratic party may need this court
of last resort, the highest tribunal in
Maryland, to place the seal of judicial
approval on disfranchisement legisla-
ton. 1t seems to be the fixed determi-
nation of the Democratic party to con-
vert Maryland into a one-party State.
All outward indications show that it IS
their settled purpose, so far as in their
power, tmabolish and destroy the Re
publican party in the whole Stat lust
As they have succeeded in doing. in lin
tied areas, b. means of the infamous
Wilson ballot law They want. FOR their
own purposes, what they call a mon
partisan judiciary" But they want
more than this. They want nonpar-
tisan State, for State cannot be par
tisan unless it has at least two parties
Of fairly balanced influence. With this
end in view, they came forward with
the Poe amendment, and now with the
Straus amendment. And once they are
successful ii forcing one Of these wick
ed aad sinister DISTINGUISHING amend
ments down the throat Of the people. it
will next become the duty Of the Court
of Appeals to pass upon and cOnstrue
the measure. Considering the complete
performance of the Democracy in the
present makeup Of the Court of Ap-
peals, can any reasonable person doubt
what would be the decision of that
tribunal on Acknowledgement legislation.
the pet measure of the Democratic par
ty? A Democratic Court of Appeals
will ratify Democratic election legisla-
ton in the future just as it has done in
the past. No Republican who desires
to see his party continue to exist as a
potent living force in the State of Mary
land can afford to give his vote to the
nominee for high judicial office of the
party whose chief aim and object is, at
present, and for eight years past has
been the destruction of the Republican
party.

Entertainment Thursday Evening.

The entertainment given at the
Methodist church Thursday evening by
Miss Marion Wilson, impersonator, was
an unqualified success. There was a
fair sized audience, and everyone who
attended was well pleased with every
particular of the program. 1T would
hardly be too much to say, as all who
heard her, voiced the same opinion,
that as a reader Miss Wilson is super
Tor to anyone that Winthrop people
have had the pleasure of listening to
for many years. She has beautiful
and sympathetic voice, and that per-
sonal magnetism which is a necessity
in a successful entertainer. Each OF
her numbers was given in costume and
this added inmeasurably to the effect.
Several musical numbers We're inter
spersed during the evening, two piano

Leah Hoxie, vocal solo. sleep Little

NO OFFENCE INTENDED.
Merely Changed Course and Slowed Up
to Exchange Salutes.

Baltimore, Md, Sept 3.-Capt. Flip
pho Maggie, Marquis of Bucarro, COM
mander of the Italian schOolship today
pronounced as untrue the story of al
legged improperly on his part while his
vessel was steaming through the
American fleet off Cape Henry last Sat
urday. He said he changed the course
Of his ship when they saw the fleet in
order to salute it and as the Ameri-
cans were slow in answering, he said,
he slowed down so that the flagship
might return the salute before he had
passed. Captain Baggio said:
when the flagship returned the sa-
lutte we steamed full speed ahead and
proceeded to Baltimore. That our ac-
ton should be taken amiss causes me
much regret.
1T would be foolish to say that we
spied upon the fleet. There was MOTH
ing to spy at at that time. One of the
ships was firing and a mere sight Of
the targets could not cause hard feel
ing, as all the navies of the world have
been using similar targets for the past
six years."

On Monster Scale Of
fered Pres. Roosevelt
By Grown Prince Of AbyssInla
For King Mene|ik.
5000 Horsemen Will Round EN-
Up II Roosevelt Accepts.

Berlin, Sept. 3.-Lidj Jeassu, the
crown prince of Abyssinia, has invited
Theodore Roosevelt to great elephant
hunt promising to beat up white ell
ephant for him to kill and otherwise to
arrange a splendid sporting program.
This news has been brought into Ber-
lin by Adolph Mayer, a kinsman of
King Menelik of Abyssinia, who has
arrived here with a commission from
the Abyssinian government to pur-
chase supplies.
King Menelik sent an invitation to
Mr.. Roosevelt at Washington to be
his guest but Mr.. Roosevelt declined,
explaining that as he had refused the
invitations of several European SOW
ereigns, he could not make an excep
ton of King Menelik, however much
he might desire to do so. 1t was then
arranged that the crown prince should
invite Mr.. Roosevelt unofficially. Be
fore Mayer left Abyssinia a mission
had been sent to hand this invitation
to Mr.. Roosevelt, wherever it could
find him and King Menelik was hope
full that the former President would
accept the invitation in it's present
form.
"The ENJOYS of the King are en-
powered to point out to Mr.. Roosevelt"
Mr.. Mayer said today, that there is
unrivalleG elephant hunting in Abys-
sinia. The crown prince will send out
5000 horsemen to encircle an immense
area of prairie and drive in the ele-
plants. Hundreds and possibly thou
sands of elephants could be thus as
sembled and there would probably be
one or two white ones among this
number. These beasts are not really
WHITE but merely animals of great
vigor who have lived to be greyhair-
ed"
Mr. Mayer is the son of German
engineer, who married a sister Of King
Menelik.

Washington, Sept. 3.-What may be
a matter of enough seriousness to
cause official correspondence between
this country and Italy has just been
brought to light in naval circles here.
The incident occurred during target
practice of the Atlantic fleet off Cape
Henry on Saturday morning last,
when the Italian cruiser Aetna, a
schoolship, now at Baltimore, steamed
through the fleet and went close enough
to the targets to observe them. The
American officers became indignant
when the Aetna's officers were seen to
put their glasses on the various de-
vices used by the fleet.
AS the news that the fleet was at tar
get practice has received no little pub
licity it is assumed that the officers Of
the Aetna knew of the fact. Somewhat
astonished therefore, were the officers
when the quartermasters reported the
approach of the foreign warship. All
the so-called spotting devices were in
plain sight on the vessels of the fleet,
some of which were at anchor, while
others were preparing to run over the
courses for firing at small targets.
The Aetna went out of her course to
go over the anchorage grounds. She
saluted the Admirars flag and Rear
Admiral Wainwright in the absence Of
Rear Admiral Schroeder, the COM
mander- in chief, replied from his flag
ship, the Georgia. Naval etiquette de-
manded these salutes but naval ETH
quette demanded the avoidance OF a
fleet when it is at target practice, as
the operation of their guns is the Sc
cret of all navies.
1t is regarded as a deliberate affront
in Europe for a foreign vessel to in
trude on a fleet when it is known pub
