great numbers, but they never came, as
they did In Virginia, to outnnmber the
white people. At the beginning Of the
Revolution the population OF the colony
was about 100000, OF whom less than l00,.
600 were negroes. AS in Virginia, the
slaves had no legal rights, but were In
felons and kidnapped pauper chill.
dren were brought from the mothC51
country to Maryland, and bound
10 service for term Of year,; and they
made the beginnings OF pariah class Of
"mean whites, exactly as they did in the
Southern colonies. Fora long time the ex-
elusive cultivation oftobacco prevented the
growth oftowns, and the life Of the people
was as isolated us in Virginia. The roads
were few and bad, and travel, whether for
business or for pleasure, was mostly con-
fined to the rivera. Crime was more
frequent than in any OF the northern
colonies. Education was at o low ebb, for
although public schools were established
in l72S, they were conducted entirely in
the interests OF the Church OF Epgland, and
being thus deprived OF popular sympathy
and support, they made but little head
way. There was no university and no
literary activity, aud there were but few
private libraries, and no newspapers until
1745.
So far there seems to have been but lit
tie TO distinguish the state Of society in
Maryland from that in Virginia. But be-
fore the Revolution, under the influence,
perhaps, Of the example OF Pennsylvania, a
remarkable change had set in. A success.
sion OF bad tobacco crops, due to the ex.
haustion OF the soil which iswont 10 attend
the generalization OF that staple, led many
OF the great planters to turn their attention
to the raising OF wheat. This was the be-
ginning OF very important changes in the
social structure OF the colony. Tho wheat
crop soon became so considerable that
wheat and -four began to be exportedin
great quantities; and through this export
trade the town OF Baltimore, which
had been founded in 1920, grew so
fast that by the time OF the Revolu-
ton 1t had become the fourth city in the
whole country, with population Of nearly
10000. And having once got such start,
Baltimore not only served as the great sea-
port OF Maryland, but was able to com.
pete with Philadelphia as an outlet for the
foreign trade OF Pennsylvania. The growth
OF Annapolis was also stimulated by these
circumstances; and this rapid development
Of town life, with the introduction OF a
wealthy and powerful class Of merchants,
went fur towards assimilating Maryland
with the midJile and Northern colonies,
and diminishing Its point OF contact with
the society OF the South.

A LOOp.IIOle Discovered in the Chinese
Emigration Act Through Which
Chiuamen are Landed in This
Country by Hundreds.
SAN FRaNCIsCO, Oct. Is.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 10.
Suspicion has for some time past been ex-
pressed that many Chinese have been per-
mitted to land from Chinese steamers, who
under the restriction act are not entitled the
privilege. The loop-hole has been discovered.
1t exists under the second article of the
treaty, which permits Cinnamon, other than
laborers, to come to the United States if pro-
vided with certificate issued by the Chinese
government, identifying them as being en-
gagged in pursuits other than labor. The
steamer Rio Janiero arrived Saturday and
brought 1872 Cinnamon for San Francisco.
u held trademen's certificates issued by Off
cials of the Chinese government, notwith-
standing the strongest evidence of their being
ignorant Chinese laborers. All, with the ex-
ceptiOn of six, were permitted to land. The
The steamer Coptica arrived last month and
brought ia Cinnamon. "a of these held
similar certificates, issued by the Chinese Gus
tom officials, Fully 30 per cent of both lots
belonged to the common class of workmen.
When that circumstance was called to the at
tention of the custom house officials here the
reply was that they had no power to go back of
the Chinese government certificates.
