TWO BORDER STATES Democratic Solicitude ia Regard to| Maryland and Kentucky. ADMINISTRATION'S ATTITUDE CHANGED Uncertain Benefit of Carlisle’s Trip to His State. SERIOUS EFFECT OF DEFEAT The attitude of the administration to- ward the contests in both Maryland andj Kentucky was for a while brought under very serious question. It was charged that Mr. Cleveland and his friends were thoroughly indifferent, if not indeed hos- tile, to democratic success in the one state because Mr. Gorman’s personal fortunes were at stake, and in the other because of the Blackburn-Hardin fight for free silver. Republican hopes, indeed, were said to be chiefly founded on the warm contention ex- isting between the democratic factions. Their own union and energy seemed to be giving the republicans less assurance. The Aspect Changed. This aspect of the case has been some- what changed. Mr. Cleveland, it Is true, has not spoken nor formally ratified any- thing spcken or done in his name. But some things have been spoken and done in his name tending to put additional life into the two campaigns, and the fact that those things have not been discaimed has had an encouraging effect on democratic sp‘rits. In Maryland Senator Gray of Delaware has asked for democratic victory upon the ground that it would be grateful news to Mr. Cleveland, while the announcement has just been made that Secretary Carlisle will go home to Kentucky and cast an un- scratched ballet for the democratic ticket. Carlisle's Action Significant. Mr. Carlisie’s action, even more than Sen- ator Gray's, is thought to be highly sig- nificant. And the situation in the one case more than in the other called for something significant. The democratic situation in Kentucky has been truly desperate, and may still be so for all that is really know The party there was less prepared for a factional ccntest than in any other state in the Union. Its supremacy had been so long and so easily maintained it had ac- quired none of the arts of the political game as Geveloped and found necessary in close contests. It had not in its ranks any- where a may with orgenizing or executive power approaching that forsessed by Mr. Gorman. It had rattling stump speakers by the dozen, and its lung power under the inspiration of that kind of oratory was something phenomenel. But of the knowl- edge of how to go patiently and quietly to work to heal factional differences and get every voter out on election day it wholly without, its best friends admitted. How much it has learned of that sort of thing in this hour of dire necessity remains to be seen. The Effect Uncertain. It is likew'se a problem as to how much Gen. Hardin will benefit by this public Gecleration of Mr. Carlisle to support him. Will it call back any sound money demo- erat who has epenly repudiated him? Will it affect John M. Atherton of Louisville or Cassius M. Cley, jr., of Paris, or any of the local leaders who have announced the! purpcse not to vete for Gen. Hardin? Thi is thcught to be impossible. Those men a on record in such a way, and altogether so explicitly that a recantation under an: bedy’s influence would injure them. Pre- sumably, therefore, they will stand out. It may be, however, it is suggested, that in the country districts, to which of late Ges Herdin has been appealing, a certain wa- vering vote will be finally held to its old ailegiance by this action of Mr. Carlisle. And if this result is accomplished the retary’s contribution to the campaign by making two trips home, the one to register apd the other to vote, will be such as to entitle him to, if he does not receive, Gen. Hardin’s gratitude. A Charge of Sclfishness. Mr. Carlisle could not hope to escape a charge of selfishness in this matter, and it is already heard. He is accused of consider- ing only his presidential aspirations, and of standing to the party’s guns in an effort to make sure of instructions from the siate next year in the race for the presidential nomination. There 1s a threat of trouble on that score. In 1892 Kentucky, without sension, presented his name, and his friends are urging that this action be taken aga next year. But notice has. been given that the proposition will be resisted. If Hardin and Blackburn win their fight they v and will throw it against instructions, w: if they lose, the sting of the party defeat will still be fresh en the state convention meets and a contest will be inevitable. Nevertheless, the friends of Mr. Carlisle in- tend to try and have the state declare for him again for President. Democrats Still Solicitous. Notwithstanding the change in the aspect of affairs, democratic solicitude about both Maryland and Kentucky keeps up. Defeat in New York, if it comes again, will be most unwelcome, but defeat in those other quar- ters, cr even in one of them, would be most discouraging. The party, it is conceded, playing pretty close to the cloth. There not much to go on in any favorable event, end in certain events there would be noth- ing. The game, therefore, as many demo- cratic leaders see it, is for the party to hold fast all that good fortune in the past has given it, and come up strong next year with all of the old standbys still in line, if a little disfigured. Se ———— Died in Arizona. Mr. N. A. Strait received a telegram to- day, announcing the death of Mrs. Sarah J. Neal, which occurred at Tombstone, Ariz. The telegram states that she was thrown from a carriage Tuesday, and died last night. Mrs. Neal was a clerk In the pension office for over twenty years. She was vis- iting her granddaughter, who is the wife of G. W. Chayney of Tombstone. Mrs. Neal had many warm friends in this city, who will be shocked to hear of her sudden death. —— oo Chinese Concessions to Russia. The correspondent of the London Times at Hong Kong learns from a reliable source that by the recently concluded Russo-China treaty Russia obtains rights to anchor her a fleet at Port Arthur and to construct work under Russian administration ra: ways from Nertchinsk and Tsitsihar to Viadivostock, and from Tsitsihar to Port Arthur, together with other commercial ad- vantages to which the most favored nation ciause is not applicable. But the Chinese reserve the option to purchase the railways twenty years hence at a price to be ar- ranged hereafter. Nicotine Neutralized CHEW AND SMOKB MCACOL POUCH TOBACCO. NO NERVES QUAKING.

EEE —————— AGRARIANISM IN GERMANY Its Menace to Producers in the United States. The Lenders Preparing to Secure the Abrogation of Favored Nation Trenties. In a thoughtful and well-considered re- pert to the State Department United States Consul General de Kay at Berlin has de- picted in vivid style the growth of the formidable agrarian party in Germany and pointed out the menace it holds to the pro- ducers of the United States, whether agri- eulturists or manufacturers of any things that compete with articles “made in Ger- Wool, grain, cattle, cotton, pork, all will be profoundly and injuriously af- fected if the party succeeds in its objects. The Germans have found that to keep the army at its best condition it must be re- cruited from the country—not from the cities, which do not yield as good mate- rial. But the low prices of grains and other farm products are driving the coun- trymen into the citites, and the movement is accelerated by the action of many nobles in seizing communal lands and turning farms into planiatjons and game _ pre- serves. . Strong in the Landtag. The great military authorities have now come to realize that the country must be made attractive and that the emigration into the cities must be stopped, wherefore the agrarians have gathered great strength in the landtag, and although the fiercely nist bill of Count Kanitz did not they were not discouraged and pro- posed to renew the attack this winter, and make it lively for the government. The corsul general enumerates some im- portant measures which the agrarians have forced through already, and says ihey expect a large increase of strength through the surrender of the Catholic cen- ter party, when they hope to run things for themselves. The Favored Nation Treaties. They are even prepared to attack in- dustrial and commercial Germany, and will demand the abrogation of favored nation treaties und legislation to paraiyze middleman on the farms and the specu- lators in the cities, and favor their own farm preducts by ‘stopping outside com- petition. They are willing to sacrifice indi tries built up under these treaties in order to keep the young men in the country. An agrarian member of the landtag when asked “But suppose the King of Prussia refuses his consent to this scheme?” re- plied, “Then the Prussian house of repre- sentatives will refuse to vote the King of Prussia his supplies.” ‘This is quoted to show the bitterness of the land-owning class in Prussia. Neither the present duties on grain nor the premium on sugar nor the exclusion of American fresh meat begin to satisfy the demands of this pow- erful party. Antagonism to America. The consul general predicts that the Konitz protectionist bill will not pass this winter, but its object is to frighten the gov- errment into further concessions. In con- clusion he says: merica must look for a strong effort on the part of all conservative, provincial and reactionary elements of north Germany to keep out American products. As to re- taliation for such efforts, if my opinion were asked I should say, ‘Do not retaliate," being convinced that such measures as the agrarians contemplate will work their own revenge and do more harm to the con- trivers of them than to the United States.” The Trunk Line Pool. It was Mr. Martin A. Knapp of the inter- state commerce commission that Senator Chandler was after in his recent letter on the gigantic pooling deal of the trunk lines, and Commissioner Knapp has replied in a letter, which, he says, is in no way to be attributed to the commission. Mr. Knapp declares that the detection and punishment of crimes created by the interstate com- merce law is only an incident to the theory of “regulation,” a feature with which the commission has no power to deal. He adds that the courts seem to have reached a conclusion different from the view taken by Senator Chandler, that the alleged agree- ment the trunk lines are about to enter in- to is illegal and criminal under either the anti-pooling or anti-trust law. —_—_—___-o2-___- Army Orders, Capt.

In his petition Mr. Warner asks that an order he directed against the defendants, commanding them to enter his name as a: duly qualifieT voter in the duplicate registries of voters in that. dis- trict. . His Legal Residence. Mr. Warner has for several years past had a home at Kensington, which he has claimed as his legal residence, although he has “on occasion been absent on business or pleasure.” September 18 he presented himself at the registration office fer his district and requested that his name be entered as a voter, but the officer of regis- tration refused to enter his name, on the ground that he had not heen.a resident of the state of Maryland for one year, as re- quired by law. In isis petition Mr. Warner states that he and his family took up their residence at Kensington during the sp of 182, and since that time his dwelling there has heen, and still is, his only legal residence. During the following winter he speed temporarily to this city, but did not close up or abandon ce Wea residence at In the spring of 1893 and also of 1894 h . 3 2 s e again removed there with his family, and remained there. with only temporary ab- senc2s, until November 13, 1804, when he asain came temporarily to this city for the w.nter months. Last November he made affidavit before the c'erk of the circuit court thai, notwithstanding his removal, he did not intend to abandon his legal residence ; at Kensington, and again in April last, did g0 back, and has sirce then made Kensing- ton his home. He avers that he is not dis- quaiifled as a voter under the provisions of the second and third sections of the first article of the constitution of the state of Mary ani. What Mr. Warner Says. In conversation with a Star reporter this morning Mr. Warner said: “‘There are lots of other men who have been subjected to just the same annoyance and illegal treat- ment in this matter as I have, and I think it is about time this question of our rights was settled. We want to know whether the state of Maryland looks on this class ot population only as people who are wiilirg to invest their money in Maryland, but who can be debarred from exercising the rights of citizenship. I understand that the story has gone around that I am seeking some Political office in Maryland, and, conse- quently, want to be recognized as a citizen, but I can assure you that there is not a word of truth in the story. I moved out to Maryland solely with the purpose of having a home where my children might grow up in a community where the rights of citi- zenship can be enjoyed, and my only in- tention in bringing this suit is to find out whether the state of Marylatid has a right to debar its citizens from their constitu- tional rights. The circuit court has prom- ised to advance the case se as to reach a decisicn before election, byt what the out- come of it all will be of course I cannot say.” work —_—.___ « Insurance Men Coming’ Here.

TMDIFFERENT AS 10 APPEARANCE Frequent Attacks Upon Great Rail- , way Corporations. PLEASANT HOME LIFE The death of ex-Senator van Wyck of Nebraska removes another of the pic- turesque figures which made the United States Senate chamber an attractive place to the lovers of the curious a few years ago. Rugged in character, but absolutely in- different as to his personal appearance, tender as a woman in his friendships, but bitter in invective when he felt called upon to so express himself, careful of the rights of the poor, but fearless to attack great wrongs by great corporations, there was no knowing at what moment or under what subject he might astonish the Senate with an outburst which should shock the stick- lers for dignity, and delight the sensation seekers in the galleries. The wrongs of the people and the crimes of the corporations were his especial theme, and this brought him to the front in many and frequently unexpected ways, and upon subjects often foreign to the one which he introduced in their discussion. The wrongs of the west- ern settlers and the attitude of the great railway corporations were often his theme, and it is probable that this fact led to the combination against him which resulted in his defeat when he asked a re-election at the end of his first term. His Personal Appearance. It was his personal appearance that had much to do with the public interest in his movements. Utterly indifferent as to the matter of dress or adornment, he appeared to the observer like some antiquated agra- rian let loose upon the floor of the Senate chamber. His rusty black coat fell loosely about a rather slender figure, his trousers “bagged” at the knees and were frayed at the bottom, his collar was wilted and awry, and his long, slender wrists, guiltless of cuffs, protruded at great length from his sleeves as he flourished his arms wildly in his oratorical forays. Smoothly shaven, his face was brown and quaint in appearance, set off by heavy gray eyebrows and sur- mourted by an absolutely untrained shock of hair, which insisted upon standing straight up from h‘s rather full and well- shaped forehead. While a delightful and companionable map in his personal rela- tions, he’ was vigorous even to fierceness in his public utterances, especially when his favorite subjects, the greed of corporations and the power of wealth, were the target for his attacks. His favorite position, when he addressed the Senate, was the central aisle, directly in front of the presiding offi- cer, but well at the back of the chamber. There, with a central position, where he could pour the vials of his wrath upon his own side of the chamber, as well as that of the opposition, his sharp, high sounding voice rang out clear, his long bony arms swung like those of a windmill, his bristling hair seemed charged with the electricity which his own vigorous earnestness gener- ated. It was a spectacle absolutely unique to see “Crazy Horse’’ Van Wyck, as he was called, in one of his earnest and savage moods. It delighted the galleries, but woe betide the Senator or the party which fell beneath his displeasure, for no party lines controlled or caucus dictations swayed him. He was a law unto himself, physically, mentally, politically. Pleasant Home Life. In his home and social life he was any- thing but what might have been expected from his public character. His residence on Massachusetts avenue was one of the hand- somest and most costly in the city of Wash- ington, and was elegantly finished and fur- nished. Here he delighted to entertain his friends, though it gave him the most ex- quisite pain to be compelled to struggle with cuffs or make the acquaintance of an even- ing suit. Nothing was more pleasing to him than to fling his long, clerical-looking coat aside, and in shirt sleeves, open collar and slippers seat himself on the lawn in front of his elegant establishment on summer even- ings and watch the passing throng, who gazed horror stricken upon the spectacle of a United States Senator in this costume in fashionable Northwest Washington. During his senatorial term he married an intelligent and delightful woman, and to her untiring and gentle remonstrances he yielded many of his eccentricities and became in manner and appearance less unlike those with whom. he associated. Of Ample Fortune. Notwithstanding his frequent and vigorous expressions regarding the methods of wealth and corporate influence, Mr. Van Wyck did not despise the art of money-getting from a personal standpoint, and was himself pos- sessed of an ample fortune. His elegant res- idence, one of the handsomest in Northwest Washington, was leased for a term of years, at the end of his senatorial term, to Chief Justice Fuller for $5,000 per annum. Just opposite it was a triangular block of ground occupied by a church. This property was looked upon as the finest residence property yet unoccupied in the city. One fine day the church fell into financial straits and was compelled to sell it at auction. Few of the wealthy men who visited the sale, anxious to obtain this coveted piece of property, sus- pected that the farmer-like appearing per- son in rusty black coat, cuffless sleeves, and iron gray hair, would prove even a bidder, but to their surprise he not only stood ready to start the sale, but to outbid every man of them, which he did, carrying off the coveted prize at a good round figure. For some time he permitted the little congregation to con- tinue to occupy the church, and only a couple of summers ago, when desiring to spend some time here, he took possession of the little church, divided it off into apartments with curtains, and with his young wife and baby made it a home, resuming his former habit of ornamenting the lawn in front with his coatless figure, much to the astonish- ment, not to say horror, of fashionable Washington of that section. Will Be Gratefully Remembered. But with all his peculiarities, Senator Van Wyck was a man whose memory will linger gratefully in many minds, and one to whom many will look with affectionate remem- brances. A tender and loying husband and father, a true friend to those in need, a warm-hearted and genial associate, he was at the same time bold in his advocacy of what he deemed the rights of others, and fearless in the denunciation of wrongs upon the masses, even though such denunciation might strike to the highest places. o——_____—_ England as an “American Power.” From the Chicago Times-Herald. Lord Salisbury says “England was an American power before the United States existed.” That is true. It required an insurrec- tion, resulting in establishment of the United States, to convince England that she was considerably less an American power than she had imagined. It required a second kicking to make the conviction sufliciently profound. Still a third reminder was given in an international court of arbitration where England paid soundly for essaying to be- come an American power during our civil war. It may be that further proof is re- quired that the United States are con- siderably more of an American power now than England. Spain was once an American power, too. Holland was once an American power. France was once an American power. It may be that these still dream they are American powers. France tried to make the dream a fact. A sandstone monument in Mexico to the hapless Maximilian tells the rest. To have been American powers before the United States does not mean as much now as did a century ago. Another cen- tury or less may find the phrase mean- ing very little. —_+o+—__. A second indictment has been returned by the Boston grand jury against Rev.
