The Democratic Ring Organs see
the possibility of losing control Of
the Board of Public Works, Fishery
Force, Canal, Tobacco Warehouses,
Board of Police Commissioners, State
Treasurer, State Printer, Tax and In
surance Commissioners, and indeed
of the whole party patronage by
reason of lack of majority in the
next Legislature. With proper po-
litical management the Independent
Democrats can forever crush out the
Ring and relieve the State from the
oppression of its corrupt rule. Hence
these organs cry for harmony, call it
"dirty work" for the Governor to
appoint none but his friends to Office,
and suggest a personal assault upon
any "sneak who offers the insult.
ing suggestion" of a combination
with Republicans to defeat the Ring.
If the O. l.. DIS are betrayed into q
caucus they will be treated exactly as
they were two years ago-deceiyed
and sold out.-Frederick Examiner.

The Value to England of the Indian
Empire.

A reckoning of the value of India's
foreign commerce will explain the
Importance attached by the United
Kingdom to its eastern empire. The
trade of India with foreign countries
amounts to S577 100000 gold per an
mum. The seven railways extending
into different parts of the country
have an aggregate length of 4,039
miles, and many other lines are in
process of construction to serve the
needs of population shown by the
census of 1881 to number 252, 541 ,210
souls. The length of telegraph lines
is $4,000 miles. The climate is varied,
land is cheap and labor abundant.
The cultivation of wheat is being en-
tended, and with the extension OF
railroad facilities to the northern
provinces promises to engage the en-
ergies of farmers looking to Euro
pean markets. The export of this
cereal is at present 1886, 1893 bushels,
against 145,9S8 for 1870. India has
an area of 1877 ,69S square miles,
reaching nearly 1000 miles from
north to south, and 300 from east to
west. 1t is divided into 22I districts,
under purely British administration,
besides 1913 feudatory states under
British control. The English army
numbers about 10000, being largely
composed ofregiments recruited from
the native population. 1t is a great
mistake to view its people as a
homogeneous enc. There are within
the limits of the Indian empire more
States and more languages tina in all
the Western nations combined. In
Europe in 1881 there were 80 States,
10 languages, and, in 1872 3Ol 200, 900
of population. British India, how
ever, has 374 States, % languages and
over 252, 200, 900 of population. 1t is
upon this large population that the
United Kingdom largely relies for
an unfailing market for the manu-.
features. Her colonies at present are
good customers, but the time NAV
come when they may all wish to cut
loose from the mother country, or.
without absolute separation, place
restrictions-as some Of them have
already done-upon British mann.

held's wise policy of Incorporating
India as constituent part of the en-
plre the idea of a separation of India
from England is rendered one which
no ministry will dare to entertain or
propose, and the establishment of j
tariff upon imports from England is
rendered impossible. 1t will be OBJ
served that the various parts of Eng
lish policy hang well together.

A public meeting was held at
Waterford, in the Third district of
Anne Arundel county, on Saturday
afternoon, to take action to prevent
a repetition of the alleged frauds in
county elections. Grafton Duvall
was called to the chair, and Thomas
B. Boone appointed secretary. One
of the parties present was selected to
secure testimony to be used in the
contested election cases, and subscrip-
items were received to defray the ex-
penses of the contest. Several SUBJ
scriptiOns of $50 each were made on
the spot. 1t is is expected that $500
will be raised in the district for the
purpose. 1t is thought it will take
about $4,000 to maintain the contest.

Mr.. Watterson comes to the fore
again with blood in his eye and a
free trade genfalon in his hand. He
says Mr.. Blaine will probably be the
Republican candidate for the Presi-
dency in 1884, and adds: '.If the
opposition can he united on a tariff
for revenue only basis we can beat
him. II it cannot be we shall prob
ably have four years more of Repub-
lican ascendancy." Having thus
virtually surrendered the future, he
then pays his respects to the past in
this lively fashion: 1--WE want no
more pig and puppy campaigns, and
no more now-you-see-it and now

The gradual decline of Democratic
majorities in this State is significant.
In 1868 Seymour carried Maryland

given in Baltimore city, principally
by the usual methods. The last Leg

before we had not a representative in
the State anywhere. The next Leg

Democrats 80 Republicans. The
people are evidently getting tired of
the long continued mismanagement
ofState affairs. Another year or two
and the present managers of the
Democratic party will have reached
the end of their rope. They will
have no smooth road to travel in the
coming session of the Legislature,
and their desperate efforts to regain
what they have lost will consummate
their fall.

Fir Trees.

The fir tree growths Of Puget Sound

cut that measured 800 feet in height
and II feet in diameter at tine base,
with straight and well proportioned
log length Of ninety feet to the first

portion, and are most valuable for
wooden wares of all kinds, while the
frs are the Sest for spar and ship tim

thing to everybody possessing what
impressionists delight to call, in their
own peculiar and vague way, the artis-

ern Californis have found that this

little trouble and sold for decorative
purposes at q large profit. One of
these men put tthree-Quarterso Of 81 acre
under the grass, and was able to sell
each head or plume at two and half
