NAVAL DESERTERS.
They Face Fine, Imprisonment and
Loss of CITIZENSHIP


Loss of Citizenship.
Every time a feet Of naval vessels
visits port there are sure to be a mum
Der Of assertions. These come about
from various causes, and among the
deserters is always large percentage
Of recruits that come from inland
states. To these young men the con-
dnement OF ship and daily drills
soon become irksome This, added
to seasickness, to which they are al
most invariably subject, produces an
irresistible desire to desert. In 9th
through the men becoming intoxicated
and practically irresponsible while on
shore leave. In the meantime their
vessel may sail. These men are not at
first termed deserters, but are set
down as stragglers. If, however, after
from them by the ships officers they
are then considered deserters.
At the end Of the ten day limit their
allotment is stopped, the bureau of
navigation is notified, and. in con
formity to an act Of congress, their
effects are sold before the mast. The
amount realized is placed to their ac-
count and the latter transferred to the
deserters' roll. At the end of six
months, If they still have not been
heard from, their wages are declared
forfeited to the United States The
penalty for desertion is fine and i'm
prisonment as well as loss Of citizen
ship.
The reward for the recovery of
deserter may not exceed $40, and for
straggler the limit it SO. This sum,
together with any expenses incurred
by the person capturing and delivering
a deserter or straggler, when it is paid
by the government is charged against
the account of the man. If the enlist
ed man finds he has been left ashore
and If he really had no intention Of
deserving he may report to the nearest
naval station or If in a foreign country
to the United States consul When
this is done he is Immediately tax
en- off the deserters' roll and accounted
merely as a straggler, the punishment
for which as a rule is light.-Marine

The Importance of the Beard.

The importance of the beard was full
~ recognized in the middle ages. Here
is a passage quoted by J. A. E. Or
baan In "Sixtine Rome'D from letter
of the writer. Bartolomeo Catena: 1T
is we'll that those who have to lead
and govern should have long and fine
beard And / can assure you that the
government of cities and provinces has
been given to more than one prelate be-
cause he had a long and fine beard;
otherwise he were not worthy that
honor"

FEARED A TRAP.
A Bit of Japanese Strategy That De.
ceived the Enemy.

A Bit of Japanese Strategy That De-
ceived the Enemy.
Many a man has failed to guess an
easy riddle because the simple solution
looked like a trap to him. Here is an
instance In which this trait of human
nature was cleverly played upon by a
Japanese nobleman.
The old lord had been forced to flee
with only 800 men before an enemy
with 10000 and barely had time to
reach his castle ahead of his foes.
There were no re-enforcements near at
hand, and he knew that if an attempt
was made to storm his defenses he
and his men would be dead before help
could come.
The enemy's forces advanced rapid
~, and scouts rode. up near the castle
to reconnoiter. To their amazement,
they found the gates, doors and win
dows open and all the appearance of
holiday celebration. They rode hasti-
~ back to inform their master that the
foe was dancing and that bands were
playing music in the castle.
The powerful enemy was too wise q
man to put his head into any such trap
as that. The defenders of the castle
must have some plan to slaughter his
forces by wholesale or they would
never invite him in that way He
drew back to a safe distance and en-.
camped to await developments.
Soon the endorsements for the cas-.
tie came up behind, attacked him sud
denly and defeated him, while the gar.
rison, which had risked all on its
stratagem, charged him on the other
side

MIR. DOBSON.

Mr.. Edgar r. Dobson, Foreman Oh
the Baltimore City Grand Jury in an
interview published in Monday p Sun
evinced such rank partisanship that
both OF his sponsors, the Sun" and
the News" found it necessary to re-
primand him, lest he disclose his mo
tives, and discredit the whole proceed
ing.
The Sun" terms his utterances in
discreet, and admits that he talked
like a partisan investigator and prose
cutor; "but excuses him on the ground
that he was carried away by his zeal
Ia a righteous cause"
Whether or no Mr.. Dobson has pre-
scented any one "for malice,envy hat
red or iu-will, I'VE do not know, but
we are certain that he has left no one
unpresented, for love, fear, favor, or
Affection" especially the latter.

CHAIRMAN SHRIYER.

The selection of Hon. T. Herbert
Shriver al chairman OF the County
Democratic Central Committee was a
wise one. Mr.. Shriver has always
been loyal Democrat, sound to the
core upon every principle for which
his party stands; he can be depended
upon to do all that In him lies to
lead his party to success; but to AZ
complish this he must have the
jealous. and active support Of the
rank and file OF the party In every
part of the county.
From now on let all grievances,
where any exist, b. forgotten, let
pickering and fault finding cease, SO
that we may have united and an in
vincible party.
Remember no General, no matter
how tactful or alert, ever won a bat
tie with a mutinous army.

THE BALTIMORE NEWS.

Nowadays when ones eyes first
fall upon this Republican sheet, its
bold headlines fill you with trepida-
ton and alarming conjecture, and ap-
prehension that an earthquake has
destroyed half the Continent, or that
some celestial body has strayed from
its orbit and is approaching the earth
with such velocity that it will knock
everything to flinders before you can
open the paper.
But your fears subside, and you
are treasured, when you learn that
all the display was caused by some
candidate for a local Office in Balti-
more city having been cheated out Of
number of votes by corrupt Repub-
lican and Democratic election offici-
ais.
The News" has melted and used
up many pounds Of type metal to her
aid these misdeeds to the public, and
to impress it that the Democratic
party was alone responsible for them;
knowing all the while that in every
precinct where fraud was discovered
there were as many Republican az
Democratic officials implicated, and
that one party was as badly besmirch-
ed by it as the other.
The animus Of its present unfair
course can be traced to its mad and
vain effort to defeat the Democratic
candidate for Mayor Of Baltimore
city last spring; its failure to accom-
plish this, wounded 1t to the quick,
and 1t never viii forgive those who
frustrated it, purpose.
While we have no patience with
fraud, especially Of this character.
and in no wise would extenuate it,
we think the responsibility should
rest upon the perpetrators Of it, those
who inspired 1t, their aiders and ab-
ettors, it there are any such, and that
all attempts to discredit the entire
Party organization and it's candidates in
the State because or 1t, are SO mani

rHE POLITICAL SITUATION.

The active work of the campaign,
upon the part or the Democrats will
begin on Monday next, meetings hay
ing been arranged covering the
whole State, and keeping up to the
day OF election. The Democratic par
ty proposes to pursue an aggressive
and vigorous campaign, with the ex-
pectation of electing the entire state
ticket, and securing majority OF the
members of the legislature.
Our Republican friends are at
tempting to make much over the de-
yelopment Of the election frauds In
Baltimore City, and are hoping by
this handicap to the Democrats, TO
slip their State candidates into office.
We have said before in these col
umns, that no matter to which party
a man belongs, he must condemn
these frauds, and desire the punish
ment of the guilty. Let us look at
tile situation AZ 1t ID, and see how
much there is In it, upon which Re
publican hopes can be built; whether
both parties are not equally guilty,
and whether the Democratic and the
Republican Judges and Clerks II
convicted, should not 60 side by side
to the penitentiary-
Now let us see. When these frauds
were committed, there sat in each
polling place, two Democratic judges
and two Republican Judges, and one
Democratic Clerk and one Republic
can Clerk. And when the fraudulent
returns were made up. they were Ger
titled and sworn to by the whole lot
That was the exact situation, and
any attempt to make Republican pol
itical capitol out of 1t is worse than
absurd.
Mr.. German and his associates on
the State ticket are shown by the
Grand Jury recount to have been
nominated, and are before the vot-
ers of the state, as the choice Of
majority OF the Democrats voting In
the recent Primary.
They are entitled to receive. and
doubtless will receive the vote OF the
party throughout the State.
Maryland has been under Demo-
cratic control, almost continuously
since 1867, and no state in the Union
can show a better record Of good
government. Its tax rate has been
low; peace and tranquility have pre-
vailed everywhere, her public school
system has been fostered and enlarg-
ed, until, today 1t is one OF the best
in the country. Large sums Of mon
ey have been spent in the erection OF
public buildings, and the suspicion OF
graft has never been intimated with
i'm the borders of our good old, hon
est State.
we think the people OF Maryland
will be slow to change the admins
tration OF their State affairs; will be
slow to turn over this State, having
such a history and such traditions
and with its splendid Democratic re-
cord, to party that represents but
a fraction of the white voters Of the
State.
The element upon which the Repub-
lican party depends for success, has
little or no interest in the welfare
OF the State, and to say that these
ignorant and irresponsible negroes
shah determine who our state and
county officials shall be, Ii travesty
upon popular government.

Arthur r. German, Jr., il young

more than two million five hundred

We cannot better present Senator
German to our readers or pay him a
