The Elastic Statesman.
The Maryland Democrats having won
by means of keeping their mouths shut as
to national issues, the Hon. Arthur Pile
Gorman emerges from his bnrrow a little.
Mr. Gorman is the spirit of the non
committal. He is as diplomatic and full
of finesse as a cat, but, unlike the poor
cat in the adage, he can fish get and not
his feet wet. He has taught the Mary
land Democrats to tread air and to build
platforms that teeter gracefully on invis
ible points. He is just as quick and agile
in his days of statesmouship as he was in
his days of base ball. A fine political
shortstop, and seldom lets anything go by
him. —New York Sun.
A Burning Question.
The question that threatens to take the
first place in social science of the imrne
• diate future is, ‘‘What is to be done with
the degenerate negro sons of worthy
fathers?” They are piling up in every
town, a vagrant, vicious, dangerous
horde. There are, of course, a few worthy,
industrious citizens among them, who will
have to be protected when the day comes
for corraling the degenerate class.
The degenerate class are confirmed
vagrants. The women go out and do
housework for white families and earn
sufficient money to clothe and purchase
.cigars for the bucks, who are fed by the
victuals the women confiscate while at
work in the kitchens This class live in
rookeries and bundle together in squalid
quarters in the suburbs of the towns. The
bucks do no work and occupy their time
in idleness and vice. The State and society
cannot afford to rear such a class. A hand
will have to be laid on them soon in self
defense, which will relegate them to a
• state little short of slavery. It will be for
their own benefit as well as for that of
society to employ them in some useful
occupation. It will keep them out of
mischief and educate them in habits of
1 industry. The legislature should consider
J the question this winter. It is time for a
y movement to find a remedy and a pre
ventive for this evil. No man coming of
age in future should be allowed to vote
who could not read and write. There is
no longer an excuse for ignorance with
free schools open to all, rich and poor,
white and colored.
The flaryland Democratic Association.
We publish in the present issue of the
Midland Journal the Address to the
Democrats of Maryland, issued last week
by the Democratic Association of Mary
land, an organization with, headquarters
in Baltimore. This association stands for
the Chicago platform and the nomination
of William J. Bryan in 1900 for President,
and. represents the Democrats of the State
who are in full sympathy and hearty
accord with the Democratic party of the
nation. This association has been pro
testing and passing resolutions against
the course pursued by the Gorman ma
chine Democratic party of the State who
have been advocating, openly or secretly,
what is known as the “ gold democracy,”
which bears the same relation to the true
Democratic party Of the nation that the
Tories of 1776 bore to the party of the
Declaration of Independence.
The gold standard is the keystone of
the Republican party arch. This is theo
retically at least a free country, and men
have a right to believe in, and advocate,
any political, financial or economic policy
they please, but they have no right to ad
vocate the first plank of the Republican
- platform, and claim to be members of the
Democratic party. Such men are enemies
of the Democratic party and are given
more credit by the Republican party for
helping to boost McKinley into the White
House than Mark Hanna's twenty mil
lion corruption fund.
The Democratic-Association appears at
last to have gotten a move on, and after
two years and more of protesting and
resolving, propose to place Maryland in
line with the national party. The Ad
dress says:
‘‘The way to begin is to go to work
actively to secure a Bryan delegation from
this State to the National Convention.”
In our judgment the way to accomplish
this is for the association which issues the
address, to call a State convention, invit
ing all to participate who are in favor of
the Chicago platform, the true and only 1
shibboleth of the party, and rule out all
for the gold standard; and by
convention elect delegates to ,
V represent Maryland in the National con
\ ventiou next year, placing them firmly ,
\ on the National platform promulgated at
its last national convention in 1896.
Such a straight forward, decided move- ,
ment would place the party in Maryland
, in line with the National party and lift it |
out of the Republican goldbug mire where ,
it has floundered for the last three years. ,
On the other hand if the Democratic
Association stands still and is only known
to exist by the noise of the captains and
the shouting, the old goldbug machine
will send a trading delegation to the next
National convention pledged to nothing
and ready for bargains. |

Address Issued by Maryland Demo
cratic Association.
The Executive Committee of the Mary
land Democratic Association met in spec
ial session at the headquarters of the asso-.
ciation, 305 St. Paul street, and adopted
an address to the Democrats of Maryland.
The address is as follows :
“To the Democrats of Marylaud—'The |
decisive victory .in Nebraska, following
other significant events of this year—the !
New York dollar dinner; the stampeding J
of Tammany Hall, at their Fourth ofjuly (
celebration, by ex-Goveruor Hogg’s men
tion of Bryan’s name; the declaration of
the Pennsylvania convention for our
matchless leader, Wm. Jennings Bryan;
the collapse of the Saratoga conference
and the Van Wyck boom, and the recent
resolution of the New York State Com
mittee recognizing Brvan as the natural
approved leader of the Democratic party
in the nation,’ has convinced even his
opponents that Bryan is the strongest
candidate our party could name. The
next President will be Bryan or McKin
ley, and every reason points to Bryan.
“The triumph in Nebraska shows his
strength in the Far West; the fact that
the Republicans polled in Ohio this year
109,000 yotes less than in 1896 shows a
strong revolt against McKiuleyism in the
Central Sta'tes; the result in Maryland
indicates that Bryan will carry the solid
South, and Mr, Croker says that he will
carry New York.
“The Democrats in our State sought
to exclude national issues from the cam
paign, but the Republicans and ‘the
Sound Money Democracy of Maryland’
did not fail to let every voter know that
‘Democratic victory this fall in this State
does not mean Maryland for Bryan next
year. ’
LESSON IN THIS STATE.
“The simple lesson, from this year’s
elections in Maryland, is that the people
ot Maryland have enough of Republican
ism, in city, State and nation. It is the
same kind of a tree, only planted- at dif
ferent places, and bears the same fruit.
Men do not ‘gather grapes of thorns,’ no
matter where the thorn-bush grows.
“A majority of the people of our State
are Democrats; some of them are called
sound-money Democrats, to indicate that
they helped to install McKiuleyism, but
to the bulk of these, three years have
been as long as they care to look for
grapes in that thorn-bush, and they have
reached the conclusion recently expressed
by the most illustrious of the gold stan
dard advocates, ex-Governor Whyte, that
‘no man can be a sound-money Demo
crat or any kind of a sound Democrat
who votes the Republican ticket all the
time,’ and, as Governor Whyte says, the
vast majority of them have returned to
the house of their fathers. They will no
more follow after strange gods.’
“Every man who believed in the Chi
cago platform in 1896 believes in it now;
many who were frightened into opposing
it cannot again be induced to believe that
a 'platform advocated by all the Demo
cratic leaders of the South' and West Is
going to ruin our country; many who still
oppose it will vote for Bryan upon, the
issue of imperialism, for the reason, as
stated by Governor Whyte, that in their
judgment the money question sink* into
insignificance before the higher and
greater question of preserving the funda
mental ptinciples of our free institutions,
and yet others will support Bryan, regard
less of the issues, from disgust with
Republicanism.
BRYAN DELEGATION WANTED.
“Hence Republicans here admit and
national Democratic leaders believe that
next year Maryland will join hands with
Nebraska. To make sure of this, let
everyone do his best. The time to begin
is now. The way to begin is to go to
work actively to secure a Bryan delega
tion from this State to the National Con
vention If Maryland sends delegates
who will be kickers and prophets of evil
in the convention, and who will come
home to eat their own predictions, or
sulk, or bolt, we will enter the campaign
at a great disadvantage; but let us be rep.
resented by men in accord with the prin
ciples of Democracy, as determined hy its
highest tribunal, and who will return
from the convention to enter with cour
age and enthusiasm into the campaign
for the success of its nominess, and Mary
land will keep her place with her sister
States of the South.
“For this the Maryland Democratic
Association is working We helped to
elect a Democratic Mayor and Governor,
both of whom loyally supported Bryan in
1896. Now, let all help to elect a Demo
cratic President.”
The executive committee, whicli issues
this address, is the governing body of the
Silver Association.
All persons in Cecil interested should
communicate with Major W. G. Purnell,
at Elkton, who is chairman for Cecil
county.
The peculiar uniformity of the
editorial notice of the message in
the daily papers is suspicious of a
cue from headquarters, of the
power which it is pretty well *
understood stands behind and '
orders the editorial tone of that '
press. There isn’t a line in the
message that indicates leadeiship 1
of the President. Nothing above a 1
dead level rehearsal of fads.
i
A Sure Cure for Croup. ,
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS’ CONSTANT USE '
WITHOUT A FAILURE.
<
The first indication of croup is hoarse- j
ness, and in a child subject to that disease
it may be taken as a sure sign of the ap- '
proach of an attack. Following this *
hoarseness is a peculiar rough cough. If i
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given as 1 ;
soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even
after the croupy cough appears, it will
prevent the attack. It is used in many
thousands of homes in this broad land
and never disappoints the anxious moth
ers. We have yet to learn of a single
instance in which it has not proved
effectual. No otljfr preparation can show '
such a record—twenty fiee years’ constant j
use without a fai ure. For sale by pli T. t
Reynolds, diuggist. ,
Salaries in Place of Fees.
A good reform beginning was made of ;
a hoary abuse when the State’s Attorney’s
office of this county was made a salaried
| office. Other offices iu the county, not- ;
ably the Clerk's and .Register’s offices,
' should be made salaried offices, and the 1
I ancient fee system be abolished. These
| offices are public offices jn name more
than in fact. In fact they are but the
private business offices of the men who
( are elected to fill them, about as the
1 lawyers’ offices are private offices for the
use of the public, supported by a system
of fees. In the former two the fees are
adjusted by law. In the latter by the
discretion and opportunity of attoruies, 1
who are a privileged class, made so
statute, and who have the run of the two
former offices free.
The Clerk’s and Register's offices
shi uld be made salaried offices and the
system of fees entirely abolished, making
those offices free to the public, and their
officers public servants whose duty it is to
transact business for the public, and whose
compensation should be their salaries paid
out of the public funds. This reform
would cat off a source of State revenue
but there are other sources from which
revenue may be derived more equitable
and less onerous to the public.
If the niembers elect of the next legis
lature would rise above the dead level of
a hundred years, and do something to
distinguish them from the fossils of the
past, they will continue the work of re
form which was commenced when the
State’s Attorney’s office was made a sal
aried office.
Congressional.
Congress assembled at Washing
ton on Monday. The Presidential
message was delivered on Tuesday.
It is a very lengthy document, re
quiring two and a half hours rapid
reading by the clerks to get
through. The message is mainly a
rehearsal of ancient history, which
has been published in the papers
since the last session of Congress,
and the characteristic McKinley
platitudes. No policy or recom
mendation is advanced by the Pres
idenfc tespecting the management or
disposition of the island acquisi
tions and conquests of theeountries.
The message advises Congress to
give the bankers whatever legisla
tion they ask for. This is about
the only thing Mr. McKinley is
positive about in his long message.
Mormon Roberts met a most de
cided opposition vote when he laid
his clayn to being sworn in before
the House, by 302 to 30. His case
was referred to a committee of nine
Representatives, and he is likely to
get no nearer a seat in the House
than he now has, and the brazen
scamp ought not.

the following to our great leader,
“ Billy Bryan,”
There Is no blight upon your name,

For the toller’s rights you are firm and bold,
Billy Brvan, Billy Bryan.
In fbe next light you’ll be in the van,
Billy Bryan, Billy Bryan,
Against McKinley and jbe goldbug clan,
Billy Bryan, Billy Bryan,
Truth still shall be your potent shield,
To deceit and traud you’ll never yield, <
For Justice to all you euer have appealed,
Billy Bryan, Billy Bryan.
You are no imperialist, and don’t want the
Billy Bryan, Billy Bryan, [earth,
With Its hords of Asiatic foreign birth,
Billy Bryan, Billy Bryan.
The government will be safe in your hands,
No entangling alliances with foreign lands;
Administrated, Just as theConstitutionstands,
Billy Bryan, Billy Bryan.
You always mean just wbat yon say,
Billy Bryan. Billy Bryan,
As did Jefferson and Jaekson, iu their day,
Billy Bryan, Billy Bryan.
So let (be goldbug rant, rip and tear,
You’ll be seated in the Presidential chair,
In spite of the greedy corporation millionaire,
Billy Bryan, Billy Bryan.

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they offer
One Hundred Dollars fpr any case that
it fails to cure. Reud for list of testimon
