The coronation OF the Russian Car, in all Its
appointments, Is upon plan OF grandeur that
diSdains expense and looks only to effect. To-
morrow In the Cathedral OF the Assumption,
within the limits OF the Kremlin, the grand
climax or the ceremonies Will take place. with the
FORMAL crowning OF Alexander AlexandrovItch,
Gar OF all the Russians, King OF Poland, Grand
Duke OF Finland, Ruler OF the Caucasus, of
Siberia and autocrat of the lives and fortunes OF
ninety millions of people. All the resources OF the
Russian empire have been drawn upon for the
reckless display OF magnlicence attending the
coronation. 1t is estimated that the aggregate
cost to the government Will reach $4,000 1000 A
military pageant of 5000 troops, comprising
representatives Of all the varied subjects of the
Gar, equipped in the most splendid style, is one
OF the features OF the street pageant Beer In
mugs, decorated with the EmperOr'5 portrait, and
meat pies are to be distributed to the populace to-
morrow. The pages Of history scarcely record q
Erander living picture than that arranged for
MOSCOW tomorrow; but the murderous nihil1st
and his destructive dynamite may color 1t with
royal blood.

The state OF Maryland should either repeal her
Sunday and Fish-PrOtectiOn laws or see that they
are properly enforced We understand from re-
liable authority that not less than forty persons
were engaged In fishing In the vicinity OF the
Great Falls last Sunday and that In all something
over sixty bass were taken by the party, who thus
at once violated two of the laws on the statute
books OF that state. It is said that among those
present and engaged In the disreputable business
Were enc or two local officials OF Montgomery
county, but whether this was so or not Is not alb
solu5ely certain. 1t is certain however, that 1t is
greatly TO the shame OF the responsible authorI-
Ties of the state and county named that they were
not On hand to see that the laws were respected.
Upon what ground the Sunday law is ignored
we have not heard; but the excuse given by those
who violate the fishing law is understood to be
that tae close term prescribed by 1t does not cover
the real bass spawning season. This may or may
not be the case but In any event 1t is no excuse at
all Ii The law as 1t stands is defective In any re-
spsct IL should be changed or repealed entirely;
out while 1t remains the statute books it
ehoud be studiouSIy observed by the public as Well
as rigidly enforced by the officials OF the state
in no other way can the entire destruction of fish
IN the Potomac and Its tributaries be prevented

ord Had he and his associates for the defense
succeeded in dIsproying, or in even shaking the
urn foundation Of, the governments case, so as to
leave room for re1s 1nabe doubt OF guilt, then his
appeal would have been appropriate. But, with

public patience TO ask that they may go free to
enjoy their ill-gotten wealth, rather than wreck
human being or cover n home with shame. The

Some heart, but the maintenance OF law and the
protection OF society demand that the guilty shall
suffer- The plea Col. Ingersol makes for his
clients would convert the courts into tender
hearted dispensers OF pity in stead orJustce, and
turn all the criminals OF the land loose.
