1t is with pleasure that we see in all parts
of Maryland improvement in the character,
make up and contents of the press, and note
the gradual increase in subscribers, a
fact that is an evidence of increasing intel
lgence among the people. The growth of the
Baltimore Day has been wonderful, showing
an increase of about 10000 in ten months.
1t is deserved increase, for it is an excel
lent paper. The Havre de Grave Republican
and Annapolis Republican now appear in new
type and much improved in appearance, and
several other journals have recently, at the
beginning of new volumes, taken occasion to
speak of their increased circulation.

President Arthur issued an order on Mon
day in regard to changes in the internal rev.
enne districts. The number has been reduced
from one hundred and twenty -six to eighty
two. The fourth district ofthis state, together
with the District of Columbia, has been con-
solidated with the present third district, with
John II. Sellman, Col. Ditty's successor, as
collector. This increased power and patron
age will enable Mr. Selman to render great
assistance in nominating Hart B. Holton for
lector, and through his subordinates Sellman
will be able to carry a number of counties for

We were not Of that class to whom the YER
diet in the star-route trial was surprise. The
judge was Republican the jury were Re-
publicans all but one of the prosecution
were Republicans; the defense were Repub-
lieans; the defendants were Republicans {;
much of the money the defendants stole was
spent to carry Indiana for the Republicans in
1880; the result in Indiana determined Gar
field S election. Putting these together, could
the verdict be surprise? Consider, too,
that the defendants had access to the jury.

From the Cumberland .Auegantam !

OF all the waterways in this country con-
structed by man, the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal is the only one that pays its own ex-
penses to-day. The beds Of the Pennsylvania
canals arc used for railways; railroad COM
pany has laid its rails on the bed ofthe James
River and Kanawa canal, and the last Legis
lature of New York found that the Erie canal
could not be run if tolls were charged, and at
the last election the people adopted consti-
tutional amendment making the canal free,
and taxing the State for the running expenses.
