bounded enterprise of its people, and above all,
that enlightened spirit of progress which marks its
legislation, Commends it at once to the man of

than ALL to the liberal democrat, patriot and phil

not only its expenses for mail facilities from
its organization, but added thousands of dollars to
the post office fund to be expended in other States
this fact alone speaks euogy upon the intelli-

Maryland FinanceS.-It will be seen bv the
| advertisement Of the Treasurer of Maryland, in
another column, that 6fty per cent. of the out
standing balance of the Funded Arrears Stock of
the State will be redeemed at the Loan Office in
this city on the first of October next We are
happy to learn from reliable source that the
remainder will probably be paid before half of the
ensuing year shall have elapsed. After the small
remainder shall have been paid the State will pay
$4,000 less in annual interest than she did in the
years lS4S and 1919, being than the net
interest which she pays, State tax of one-fourth
OF one per cent. the valuation of IS cents
deducted) on Sl,000000 of five per cent. Stock
The State will also have new fund for redeeming
or purchasing the remaining debt, which will be
about equal to one-half of the net interest on the
Sinking Fund two years ago.
1t Will thus be seen that eonti-''dnGe Oh tIe
present taxes for a few years longer VIII enable
the State to redeem entirely that portion of her
debt now overdue, leaving the provision for
interest on the stock which has a long time to run
the only charge upon the Treasury The stamp
tax, as well as other temporary taxes, which so
severely felt by the citizens of all parts of the
State, may then safely be removed, as they will of
course be no longer necessary. The last claim
the Treasury will, it is confidently believed, be
redeemed within less than fifteen years by the sure
operation of the Sinking Fund, well by the
purchase and canceling of the stock with the sur
plus revenue of the State.
This is certainly very hattering condition of
every Marylander may well feel proud. On the
LIST of October, 1919, the original Funded Debt of
the State had been reduced to 1864, S26 81 and
when the 80 per cent is paid on the LIST of next
month"; it viii only amount to Sl33,7l2 50. The

We should be doing injustice to the sterling in
tegrity and unfinchng ti-mness of purpose Of the
present excellent and efficient Treasurer, if we
omitted TO say that much of the credit of bringing
the State out oits great embarrassment and placing
its financial affairs in their present prosperous and
envabIe condition. is due to the wise measures
adopted and so ably and perseveringly carried out
by him. The people of Maryland have good cause
to be satisfied with the condition of the State
finances and not less so with the zeal of the Trea-
surer, Dr. Claude.-Bahimore paper.

we may PREDICT at least as good crop for this

We see from the proceedings of the adjourned
meeting of the democrats Of the First Representa-.
tive District, that Patrick Irwin, Esq, was nomi
mated as the democratic candidate al the approach
ing election, by aeclamation, and pitted against our
excellent friend, James Goding, who received the
wing nomination few evenings since. These are
two excellent citizens and we have no doubt each
will bring out the full strength of his party They
are both men of the people, and may say in
truth that they both democrats and both wings.
Mr. Jefferson said in his day, when party spirit ran
high, "We all republicans and all federaists,"
and we may now say with equal truth, that we are
all democrats and all wings. When we come to
compare notes, we find that we differ more about
men than about principles. Between two such
men the District cannot fail, we think, to get
good and faithful Representative. Their talents
are of practical and useful character. The con-
test must be close, and exciting, for

The Submarine Telegraph between Dover and
Calais was laid during the last week of August and
England is now connected with the continent tele.
graphically. The operation of laying the wires was
performed by the aid of a steamer. Between the
paddle wheels, in the center of the vessel, was
gigantic drum or Wheel nearly fifteen feet long and
seven feet in diameter, weighing seven tons, and
fixed on a strong frame work. Upon it was coiled
up in careful, close conyolutions, about thirty miles

reached-Cape Grinez-the nearest landmark to
the English coast, and between Calais and Bou
logne, is distance Of twenty one miles, so that a
surplus supply of nine miles of wire was held in
reserve for the purpose of slackening. The route
was marked by series of pilot buoys. The vessel
steamed out at the rate of three or four miles an
hour into the open sea, in direct track for Cane
GrneZ. The operation of paying out the thirty
miles OF wire commenced on signal to the sailors
to " go ahead with the wheel, and pay out the
wire, which was continuously sreamed out over
roller At the stern Of lie yss@a4 .ssgsr m wet
ing on to the wire square leaden clamps or weights

ing the wire in the bottom Of the sea, which, on the
English coast, commences at depth of 30 feet,
and goes on varying from that 10 100 and $50 feet
The whole of the casting out and sinking was ac-
cOmpshed with great precision and success, owing
TO the favorable state Of the day. This is the most
