Public sentiment has so strongly crystalized
about the Hon. Samuel j. Tilden as the next
Democratic candidate for President, that it
is more than probable that he will consent to
serve, and that the national convention will
present his name by reclamation. A perfect
whirlwind of Enthusiasm will bear him triumph
antly into the presidential chair, in the event
of his nomination. This country has never
witnessed anything to equal the popular en-
thusiasm which would be awakened by his
second candidacy. Remember 1876, would
be the slogan of victory from the St. Lawrence
to the Gulf, and from the Atlantic to the
Pacific ocean.

Chief Justice S. B. Axtell, of New Mexico,
is TO be investigated as to his fitness for SO
important judicial position. In a suit as to
a receivership for large cattle ranch in New
Mexico, in which Stephen b. Dorsey, of star
route notoriety, was interested, he gave a
decision against Dorsey. 1t is said, also, that
Attorney General Brewster, Influenced Judge
Axtell, and articles of impeachment against
both may be the result of the investigation.

The United States government keeps no
standing army except about 10000 men to do
duty on the frontier and take care of forts
and arsenals. This is too large, yet it is
scarcely to be counted against the armies of
England, France, Germany, Austria and Rus
STA, which number hundreds of thousands OF
men. Yet in this country the states have an
organized militia of SS,0 men, and there
are 6,s27, 1921 men available for military duty
not organized.

He addressed the assembly from the steps of

Gen. Grant fell upon an icy pavement in
New York just before Christmas and is still

The professors of the Maryland University
Hospital, Baltimore, performed an interesting
operation, and one Of rare occurrence, on
Wednesday. The patient was colored boy
from Virginia, whose organs of hearing were
of extraordinary size externally. In other
words, he wac sufnripg from the disease known
as elephantiasis, skin trouble, attended with
either destruction or deformity of the parts
affected. About ten years ago the boy ears
began 10 enlarge, and he was recently sent to
the hospital for treatment. On Wednesday
he was ehloroformed, and while he vas qpeoH-
scious the doctors cut off his ears. The right
one waa eight inches in length and twenty six
in circumference. and the left fifteen inches
in circumference, weighing together three
pounds six ounces. The boy appeared we'll
after the operation. On his breast are pro-
tuberances that look like wings, and it is
probable that these, like his unnatural ears,
will be removed by the knife.
The bills.presented in the Legislature last
water Railroad Company to sell out to the
Western Maryland RAILROAD Company and to
authorize the latter to lsase OF buy other
roads, point to the ultimate extension of the
Western Maryland to tidewater over lis own
tracks. The matter was up In the Legislature
two years ago, so far as related TO the char
tering of the Tidewater Company. Surveys
have been made west of the city and leading
to the Middle branch side of Locust Point,
where the Western Maryland terminals will
be situated 1t will require perhaps couple
of years to accomplish these results, but it is
said to be an open secret that when the Van
derbit line from Pittsburg and the West, now
in course of construction through Pennsylva-
ma to Harrisburg, is finished, the Western
Maryland will be its Balhmore connection
Tho new trunk line will need tidevater term
inals, and the so-called Western Maryland
1'idewater Company viii doubtless be ready
in time to supply the want.
