THE REPUBLICANS AND THE

1t is pertinent to inquire in what
way would our Republican friends
reduce the state tax if they had the
power? Would they curtail The ap-
preparation for the public schools,
would they refuse to provide for the
interest on the public debt and de-
fault upon the principal? Certainly
not, then why attempt to mislead The
people by impressing them with the
idea that their success would mean a
lower State tax? This is demagogu-
cry of the basest sort.

The tone of Mr.. Harrington's
speech of acceptance is rich with
sincerity and straightforwardness.
He stands squarely upon tn excel

ocracy of Maryland and pledges
himself with forcefulness and direct
ness to assist in carrying out its
every provision.
NH. Harrington's appeal to hi

EXTRACT FROM MR. HARKING-
TONS SPEECH AT PRINCE
FREDERICK EXPOSING MIR.
WELLERS INGRATITUDE TO
GOV. GOLDSBOROUGH.

III prefaced hi remarks by say
ing: "Mr. Weller was an appointee o
Gov. Goldsborough and owes what
ever political distinction he has il
Maryland to that appointment:
And while the Governor vas
out OF the State we have not for
gotten that my opponent went in
to a conference or caucus which
virtually eliminated the Cover
nor although, a. the latter's
friends said, both Mr. Weller and
Mr. jackson had promised not to
make any move until he return
ed TO the State. One OF the
most surprising, and we might
say ungrateful, things Of the cam
paign was that Mr. Weller's
hackers and chief spokesman Oh
tanned from the Governor
promise not to announce his
candidacy until he returned
from San Francisco, and then
hurriedly arranged with my OPP
ponent, his appointee, for a eau
Gu of Republican leaders and
this announcement of his candi-
dacy, with the State leaders
practically committed, before the
Governor returned to Maryland.
Furthermore, Mr.. Weller and
hi friends in the primaries en-
tered the Governors own county,
made an alliance with the Gov
errors enemies at home and
practically by every means in
their power sought to humiliate
him By attempting to defeat him
there. Nowhere i'm the State has
my opponent been more severely
denounced than by the Cover
nor's friends in Dorchester coun-.
ty."
If this statement be true, and it ha
never been authoratively denied, Mr
Weller Is not the character or maj
that should be made Chief Magistrate
of Maryland. A man who is not true Il

son that should appeal to an honor
able man why Mr.. Weller should hav'
refused even to consider the nomi

that he viewed it from a BUSINESS

A CAMPAIGN WITHOUT JOINDER
OF ISSUES.

we are utterly at loss To find any
good and valid reason why any DEM
ocrat should at this time refuse to
vote for the nominees of his party,
both State and local. The State can
didates stand upon platform which
needs OF the State that the Republic
can Convention couldn't devise any
thing better, and adopted it almost
as a whole. While this endorsement
may not commend it to Democrats, IT
surely offers them no inducement to
60 beyond their party lines.
In virtually adopting our platform
the Republican leaders and candi-
dates seem to realize that they have
eliminated all issues from the State
campaign, and that there is nothing
left for them to do but to call in
question the good faith of our candi-
dates in their Platform promises,
which they are now industriously do
ing, and that too, without offering any
proof in support of their unjust
charge This is so manifestly unfair
as to render any attempt to refute it
almost unnecessary. Faith ia ones

The zuni indiana Great Feat.

The medicine men among the Zuni
Indians perform a feat at the annual
corn festival" which surpasses the
Hindu. Many scientists have been
present to witness this strange cere-
mony, but have never been able to
fathom the mystery of it.
In front of the southern opening of
the medicine lodge a large square Of
clean yellow sand, carefully smoothed
and packed, is spread. With cere-
monial arrow figures, representing the
Great Spirit, the earth, sun, sky and
rain, are drawn. There are also the
symbols Of the corn and q bountiful
harvest. The indentaticns made by
the arrow are then flied in with pig
ments, blue for the sky and clouds,
black for the earth and chrome yellow
for the harvest. The middle of the
square Is left vacant. This picture in
sand painting is most pleasing spec
linen of barbaric art.
/ The hour for the ceremony arrives,
and at the right moment the medicine
man comes forth from his lodge and
takes a seat in the opening Of the
lodge, facing the sand square. The
warriors and chiefs arrange them
selves around the square. according to
rank. The ceremonial pipe Is then
filled and lighted. and the medicine
man blows one puff in each direction
Of the compass anu two to the heav-
ems. He then makes an address, go
ing over the past history of the tribe
ard the kindness of the Great Spirit
and his care. He concludes with a
prayer for the continuance o. this fa-
vor.-
The great moment has arrived.
With impressive solemn!ty the medi-
cine man thrusts tie sacred arrow in
60 the sand, withdraws IL and pieces a
grain of corn in the hole thus made.
Carefully smoothing the sand over 1t,
he resumes his sent, while the assem-
hed chiefs smoke their pipes in stolid
