Legislation in regard to homestead and
building associations organized under the
general law, to prevent them from exact
ing exorbitant interest from borrowers,
from issuing their own notes to borrow
ers instead Of money, and providing for
their being wound up in case Of insolven-
cy.
The most salient suggestion Of the
whole message is that in favor Of an entire
repeal Of the present registration system,
which will strike many people as a step
backwards, though doubtless the present
law could be greatly improved, and per-
haps an entire new registration is needed
in this city, so as to get rid Of the dead
and absent on the lists To accomplish
the repeal an amendment Of the State
constitution striking out section of ar
ticle | will have to be submitted to the
people and adopted. The Governor also
recommends legislation for the protection
of State registration and election officers
against false and malicious prosecutions
under the acts Of Congress in United
States courts, a subject which will require
careful treatment and handling, but some
such provision may be found necessary in
order to secure the services Of citizens as
officers under the State law
Recognizing the value Of immigration,
the Governor earnestly recommends the
creation of board Of immigration sini-
lar to those of other States.
The Governor discusses briefly the
need for further legislation in regard to
lunatics and the inspection Of lunatic asy-
lunls, the Maryland State Hospital the
establishment Of State board of health.
the giving aid to the Inebriate Asylum
in this city, the wantssof the militia, the
Chesapeake and Delaware ship canal, the
disputed boundary line between Maryland
and Virginia, coal oil and steam-boiler
accidents, and recommends that Good
Friday be included in the number Of legal
holidays, citing the growing observance
of the day by financial and business in
situations consequent upon its strict OBJ
servance in London and elsewhere abroad.
Altogether The message, MS we hive said,
is unusually fertile in suggestions in re-
gard to a vast number Of minor subjects.
many of which will no doubt be found
useful. Woightcr subjects of public
thought and interest beyond Immediate
State concern he has not deemed it ne
cessarv to discuss

A DAY NEARER HIS Doom When a
man has been sentenced to be executed,
as the time appointed draws nigh, many
people are often heard to remark, sWell
one day more Of poor rs time has
gone" 1t does not appear to occur to
the careless outside observer that this is
no truer Of the prisoner than of himself
and every one else that another Of his
days has gone, and that be is just as abb
solutely one day nearer to his own death
as the doomed prisoner is to his. 1t is
a nearer approach to his own death which
the condemned man makes at a common
pace with all the living, only the day Of
his doom is known to him while that Of
others is concealed from them
Mercifully concealed, too; for how
much you'd the enjoyment Of this life
be diminished if we knew beforehand
just when we should be obliged to quit
it. The uncertainty when We are to 60,
the expectation Of dying in our own
homes, with our last hours consoled by
the attentions of kindred and friends,
and sustained by the hopes inspired by
religion, these considerations rob death
come when it may, of much of its ter
rors, and lead us to look upon it as the
peaceful close of our lifc's labors.

two inches. one Of the freaks of fashion is
for imperfect flowers, late roses with only
ne side fully developed, roses which are
apparently falling to pieces. These all adj
mre as being more or less true to nature,
but when we are shown blue and green
roses and black daises, we can only say
they are wonderful (for their ugliness),
and quietly think that only a barbaric
taste can admire them. An endless vare-
ty of natural grasses and wheat affords am
pie opportunity for the display of whatev-
er. taste we have in combining them. In
deed, branching seems TO be a sort Of the
business that requires inherent taste and
love of flowers, in order TO follow nature
as closely as possible.
Some Of the imported flowers are so love-
ly that we Involuntary stoop to inhale
their fragrance, and even here we are not
disappointed, for we find each flower has
its natural fragrance, not mixture of gun
and paint and starch, but the very frag-
rance of the woods imprisoned in its
depths.
