Maryland was written by james X.
Randall, young Maryiander, who re-
sided at New Orleans when the civil war
broke out and it was in that city that the
words of Maryland first appeared be-
fore the public, the music being the work of
the late Theodore Won LaHache, an edu.
Gated EHTonean gentleman Of noble blood,
who emigrated 70 LoHigiaAa oyer forty
years ago, and who was a successful
teacher of music in the CRESCENT City

was also the author of tho popular Wash.

other stirring selections of warlike
nature. The story recently started statinS
that Miss Hattie Carey, OF Baltimore
passed through the lines across the Poto,

Lees troops may be correct, but Il is very

RID TIME FOR STRIKING.

| The telegraphers and cigar-makers ev'uentiy
desire summer vacation. 1t is difficult TO
imagine any other equally good reason for their
action at this season. 1t is one of more than
| ordinary dulness in all trades. Business is
almost at a standstll, not only because OF the
heated season but because of general stagna-
ton. There 10 nothing in the condition OF
business to warrant the large advance de-
manded by the teegraphers; and certainly
there ia no public opinion which will create
sympathy for the other strikers in their de-
mauds that non union men shall 60.
The teegraphers are not united In their
effort. The Brotherhood of Telegraphers,
which is nothing more nor less than TRACES
union, does not embrace all, or even MAJOR
ity, of the operators II is by no means certain
that those who do not belong to this order VIII
strike at its dictatio1 and it IS not claimed, as
we understand, that the strike will be ordered
in any Other than the large cities. The IN
sincerity of the movement is shown by THIS
latter fact; and it's hollowness will in itself
defeat the movement. The Western Union
Company will be able to call upon its force In
hundreds of unimportant offices. while the
many schools of telegraphy in this ana other
cities will supply from their pupils many who
in brief time can become fairly expert
operators.
The other minor strikes are upon question
which over and over again has been decided
against the strikers. 1t is union against non
urion men. In that issue public sympathy has
always been and will always be with the non
| union men. who prefer to depend for employ
| ment and fair wages On their Individual skill
| and industry, rather than on combinations
which aim ut forcing employers to pay good
| and bad workmen alike.

SuarL APARTMENT HOUsEs

Success awaits the man who begins the
building in this city of new style Of apart
ment house. Let it contain accommodations
for fifty couples without children, each suite
of apartments to consist Of a parlor, bedroom
and bathroom only. The building should be
plain and substantial, and should have an ele-
vator, courtyard and balconies where the
tenants could get sniff of fresh air or Guilt
vate flowers. 1t should be- centrally located,
say between Thirty-fourth and Fifty-ninth
sts and Madison and Seventh ayes; and the
rents should not exceed $50 or $40 per month.
There are plenty Of flats at such rents located
ct the antipodes of the metropolis but in
structure and surroundings they are unfit for
people of culture and refinement who have
nevertheless only small income. Hundreds
of married couples are to-day living in poorly
furnished boarding houses waiting for SUCH q

now existing is that the suites are adapted IN
size for medium or large families, while HUE
provision is made for married people who nave
no families, and who wish to reduce house
keeping to minimum by being served oy

1t is absurd for such people to take upon them
the care and furnishing of eight or ten large

more than two OF three of them.

Judge Donohue has properly refused to grant
new trial for Hovey, who is condemned 10
death for the brutal murder OF his sister-in-
law. Neither Justice nor mercy calls for inter-
ference in this wretched young mans case.
He had fair trial, and the appeals that have
followed his sentence have only been INTENDED
to secure the delay which our poor system OF
procedure in criminal cases allows. Pressure
will undoubtedly be brought to bear upon the
Governor in behalf of Hovey. There is no
reason to suppose, however, that Mr.. Cleveland
will interfere with the execution OF the law
1t is true that his course in regard to the treat
ment of cOnyicts in prison last winter wouid
seem to show that he had tender side toward
the criminal classes; but political reasons
perhaps more than anything else influenced
him then. The Governor must understand as
we'll as any other law abiding citizen the I'M
portapce of impressing upon the dangerous
element in this city that hanging is not yet
"played out"
The appointmen of M. Waddington as Am
bassador to England in place OF M.-llssot VIII
go long way toward restoring eordality or
feeling between London and Paris. He was
Minister of Foreign Affairs for two years, en-
tering M. Dufaure's Ministry in December,
1877, when President MacAlahon accepted tic
inevitable and dismissed the so-called Bust
ness Cabinet of General Rochebouet. In
February, 1879, he became Premier, W.
eventually retired from Office on account OF us
conservative tendencies and his lack OF SYM
patty with the anti-Clericsl policy. His man
agement of the Foreign Department was char
acterized by remarkable ability, and &C the
Berlin Congress he contrived to add materially
to the diplomatic prestige OF the Repuolic-a
feat accomplished by other French Min
ister of Foreign Affairs during the last ten
years. He speaks English fluently, has an
American wife. and ia well known and highly
esteemed in London. Any explanations OF the
unfortunate affair at Tamatave which the
French Government may be compelled to oner
will b, made by him with tact and diplomatic
skill. better agent could hardly have been
found for removing English susceptibility aud
resentment

If Mr.. Denis kearney does not succeed IN
persuading the Park Commissioners to light
up the plaza in Union Square for his benefit
this evening, perhaps he will be able to find
q place to speak from further East. How
would the Massachusetts State House suit
him 7 Governor Butler controls that build
ing. we believe, and might let Denis
argue about "wage- slavery" from the steps at
least. Perhaps he would even be willing to
preside at the meeting. How would Butler

It looks as If the attempts to keep cholera
from spreading from one Egyptian town TO
another would have to be abandoned as use
less The whole country will then be given
over to be ravaged by the disease. 1t has been
intimated that under such circumstances the
English troops must be removed, and the way
thus made clear for q revival of political
troubles. But there is reason to believe that
neither the troops nor the officials would with
draw. The soldiers could be sent TO the Des-
ert. which rs a healthful place, and there they
would be as we'll off as at home. AS for the
officials, they face cholera and dangerous
fevcrs in India right along without flight The
as the English stay at their posts there is no
Likelihood that rebellion will break forth:
More unnecessary trouble than that which
the 10000 cisar-mskers of this city have got
themselves into, it is hard to imagine. The
owners of the shop in which trouble first broke
out finally agreed to the demands of the men
that they should not be paid in trade dollars
and that the end of the pay-week should fall
on the day they liked best. But having got
an inch the men wanted an ell, and they de.
manded that all their fellow-laborers who were
not members of the Progressive Union should
be discharged. This request the firm refused
other manufacturers have decided that they were
right in their refusal. and that 1t was time the
