PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF
SMALL-PoX.-On Tuesday DIR. Wake b. Munnik-
huysen, Physician to the Almshouse, urged be-
fore the County Commissioners the ACCESSIBILITY
of erecting temporary building, on the Aims
house property, in which tramps and other pau
pers coming from localities where smallpox is
known to exist can be quarantined. The num-
Der of persons applying for admission to the
Almshouse has increased since the weather has
become severe, and it is suspected that some of
them are from the infected localities of Balti-
more city and elsewhere. The risk of spreading
disease by placing them in the same building
with the regular paupers is too great to be
taken, and the Commissioners therefore wisely
ordered the erection of a one.story building, 1G
by 30 feet, with two rooms, in which such per-
| sons can be lodged and fed. 1t will probably
pc ready for occupancy on Saturday.

MEssRs. JOHNS ii. JANNEY, B. SILVER, JR.,
AND GEORGE e. SILVER, committee of the
Deer Creek Farmers Club, visited Wash
ington last week, to protest, in behalf of the
club, against the proposed increase of the duty
on tin. The committee had an interview with
our representative, Hon. j. Fred c. Talbot,
and with Hon. Samuel j. Randall, of the Ways
and Means Committee of the House. The lat
ter assured the Deer Creek Club committee that
he was in entire sympathy with their movement.
Mr.. Talbot informed them that the proposed
increase of duty had raised storm of protests
from all parts of the country, and there was not
the slightest probability that the duty would
be increased. In common with other members
of the Maryland delegation, he would use his
best efforts to secure the abolition of the duty
on tin. The petition of the committee was laid
before the House.

REIJGIoUs ToLERATIoN IN MARYLAND
The question of religious liberation in Mary
land and the causes which led to it are being
discussed. Under charter granted by Charles
I.ofEngland to Lord Baltimore that nobleman
obtained from the reigning sovereign grant
of the territory of Crescentia, which name
was afterwards changed to Maryland, in hon
or of Queen Henrietta Maria, whom Charles
had married in 1925. That Lord Baltimore
originally designed this settlement in the
new world as an asylum for those prosecuted
on account of their religion may be probable,
but that he had also ambitious views which
he wished TO further, is just rs likely. He
appears to have understood the law of self
interest thoroughly, and with the keen insight
of a practical politician, adapted himself to
the varying temper of the times. In 1640 an
act was passed that, whereas, the enforcing
of conscience in matters of religion has fire.
quently been of dangerous consequence in
those commonwealth where it has been
practiced, henceforth no person in the prov
ince of Maryland should be troubled or mo-
Tested in any way in respect to his religion
and the free exercise of the same. Notwith-
standing the fact that Cecil Calvert was n
Catholic, he knew well enough that opposi-
ton to the Church of England could do no
good, but rather harm to one who expected
support from the King of England. From a
retrospect of all the authorities it must be
admitted that in none of the colonies were
religious rights more scrupulousiy respected,
for rarely do we read of tortures or persecu-
tions as disgraced the early history of New
England and other sections of the country.
