Hon. Hart ID. IIolton.

In having in their ranks such a man as
Hart b. Holton available for the gubernato-
rial nomination this year the republicans of
Maryland were exceedingly fortunate. Pos
sessing in an eminent degree the confidence
and esteem of the people of his state, it is evil
dent that he is going to prove formidable
opponent to tho bourbon democracy.
Nominated for congress in 1882, in tho ap-
parently hopelessly democratic fifth district
he manfully won't in to win. In his canvass
he went directly to the voters, visiting the
farmer in his field, and tho artisan in his
shop. To make himself known personally to
tho men whose favor he was seeking was
sufficient to win their appreciation and suf-
frage. The result of his campaign was amaz-
ing alike to his friends and opponents. He
was triumphantly elected by majority of
1886, in district that two years before had
given the same man he now defeated 1,7S6
majority, change of 3,322 votes in year
peculiarly disastrous to the republicans.
There are not lacking indications that this
exceptionable and fortunate popularity still
attends Mr.. Holton in the wider arena to
which the unanimous voice of his party has
this year called him. Tho campaign has but
barely opened. Mr.. Holton has so far held
three meetings, one at Annapolis and two in
the city of Baltimore. The attendance and
the interest shown have been of a character
rare in Maryland politics. That his republi-
can friends should flock to hear and SEQ him
is no more than would naturally be
expected, but it is a significant and encourag
ing sign that splendid audiences have beer
largely composed of democrats, seemingly nC
less enthusiastic in their desire to hear and
applaud him than were his party adherents
So, too in the Holton clubs being organized
in the state, there is quite an enrolment O
democrats.
In all this there is incentive for the repub
licans of Maryland TO labor for sue
cess as theY have nevor worked be
fore. There are thousands of respect
able and honorable democrats in Mary
land who are tired of the tyranny and gros
abuses of their party masters, and who, witt
proper management, will join them in secur
ing the good government they yearn for by
electing as the next governor of Maryland tn,
gallant gentleman whose name heads the re
publican ticket.

THE c111RroU1 LAND CASE.
A Manlamus Asked for Against the Sec
rntnrY OF the Navy.

A Mandamus Asked for Against the Sec
retnry OF the Navy.
A petition was fled in the supreme court
Of this district yesterday for a maudamus TO
compel the secretary of the navy to complete
the steps which, it is alleged, were taken by
his predecessors more than two years ago to
establish naval stations and coaling dopots
on the American isthmus at Chiriqui lagoon,
on tho Atlantic coast, and at Golfo Dulce,
on the Pacific coast The petit
tion sets forth that in January, 1881,
in response to a resolution Of the house inter-
oceanic ship canal committee, tho secretary
of the navy, after agreement had with the
owners OF the property at those points, took
possession of lands for the United States, and
deposited coal on the selected sites as the
initial steps toward establishing naval
stations there for United States steamships of
war; that congress Immediately afterward,
upon the recommendation of the president,
and at the request Of the secretary of the navy,
appropriated 100000 to complete the naval
stations and pay for the lands and privileges
acquired by tho said agreement and act of
possession; that tho title to the property was
examined and pronounced perfect by the law
officers OF tho government; that Mr.. Hunt,
then secretary of the navy, giving credence
to the statements of notorious blackmailers,
disappointed lobbyists, and other disreputable
characters refused to obey the law making
appropriation aforesaid that Mr.. Hunt also
refused to refer the matter to the attorney
general for ro-examination Of title, and
that thereupon resolution was
adopted in congress requiring Secre-
tary Hunt to transmit TO the house
committee on naval affairs the papers in tho
case and to give the grounds on which he
refused to execute the law, and also the
names of the persons on whose opinions he
based his action, &c. The petition further
sets forth that Secretary Hunt transmitted
only part of the papers, and withheld the
names Of persons and material official docu-
ments filed in the case; that the house commit
tee investigated the subject and finally re-
ported u resolution recommending that the
matter be returned to the secretary of the navy
for performance of his duties required under
said appropriation act that Mr.. Chandler, who
had succeeded Mr.. Hunt as secretary, ex-
amined the subject, and decided not to revise
the decision of his predecessor, Hunt, but to
send the case to congress next December for
action in that body. The counsel in the
case, Mr.. w. w. Worden, argued to the court
that the owners of the lands which he said the
government has taken possession of and now
holds for naval and coaling stations, have
| acquired rights which congress Is powerless
to divest them of, aud that it is the plain
ministerial duty of the secretary of the navy
to examine the title to the lands, receive the
deeds therefor, and pay to the said owners
tho money appropriated for that purpose
The court took unuer advisement the motion
for a rule to show cause why the writ oi
mandamus should not be issued.

A Postmsnter,s ACCOUNT.

There was recently published in the New
York Evening Post and copied into Washing
ton paper communication from Cassius Car
ter, of San Angeles, Tex, to the effect that
the civil service rules had been grossly vio-
lated in respect to the postmaster at Fort
Concho. 1t was stated that S14.75 per quarter
had been retained out of this postmaster's pay
by the authorities at Washington, and that
the amount was a political assessment. In re-
gard to this story the postal officials here say
that this postmaster has beon allowed every
cent for which he has claimed credit. He has
made no returns sinch March 81, but for the
three quarters preceding that date his returns
are as follows:
Commissions and box rents............... $3.50 90

Csiros prospects for rich business
harvest next spring are very fatterng to
say the least and there has been good
trade here during the winter; but, in the
words Of the Springfield Register, 1t is
puzzling many newspapers readers to &C.
count for the languor in trade, decreasing
exchanges, and. increasing bankruptcies in
the country generally while the general
condition of the country is sound, and In
many respects apparently hourshing. The
trouble is not because the conditions are
not good for prosperous trade, for they are.
There were good harvests last year, north
and south, and large and wealthy immi-
grafton. The real cause for the depression
10 trade is that the floating wealth of the
county Las been reduced, and that which
was productive capital has become fixed.
A thousand miles of railroad month, at
100000 mile could not be built without
reducing the floating wealth. This money

Again the heavy tariff aud internal revenue
taxation of the general government has
thrown vast sums of money into the vaults

the large amount Of money produced by

prived US Of our shipping and deceased our
