So white on the groundl

The contest that has been pending since

torship was decided on Tuesdey in favor
of Gen. JnhI A. Logan, h prs ut srna

majority, the tie that 81 long delayed an
election having been broken when by

managed to elect in a strong Democratic
district a successor to a Democrat who
died on April 18th. The moral of the

By an order of the Senate at the last
session OF the Legislature, says the Balti-
more Sun, commit'ee of five Senators was
appointed to V sit the various reformatory,
trtions of the State to which appropria
tions have been made by the General As
sembly, and inquire into the management
of said institutions and the benefits they
confer, and report at the next session the
results of their observations, and as to he
propriety of extending further appropria-
lions for the same purpose. The FIVE Sen
ators composing the committee have taken
steps to begin the investigation with whice
they were charged. The ms buttons for
which annual appropriations are made,
according to the comptrol'er's report for
the fiscal year ended September 30, 1894,
aggregated % or 80, and the total sum di-
vided amongst them was in the neighbor
hood of 100000. OF this amount of
the largest institutions received S119,500,
as l'iio"s luSlitu'i'u iOl tHC DuilDs Ct
Frederick, $4,000; House of Correction,
S1S,75O; House of Refuge, $4,000; House
of Reformation and Instruction for Color
ed Children, $4,000; for the INDECENT
blind, $4,000; Maryland Hospital for the
Insane, s23, $50, and st. Mary's Industrial
Institute, s12 .OOO-S119, 800. This would
leave about $805OO divided amongst %
O. her benefciaries of the State, which
would not appear to be large, considering
the educational, reformatory and chsrita-
bic WORK accomplished by the several In
situations that are the recipients OF State
aid, and is, in reality. but very small
part of the cost of carrying on the institu-
tions in question Nevertheless it is ad
visable that the institutions to whose sup
port the State contributes, should be per
iodically visited by committees, and re-
ports on their management, condition and
necessities be made. This is what the
Senate committee, acting for the Site is
about to do, and as they are all gentlemen
of intelligence, there Is no reason to doub-
that they will do their work thorought
and we'll, and thai the information they
gather will be of service as guide ty
similar appropriations when the Legislao
ture meets again.

The question is frequently asked, as to
time the term of office of the present Fed
eral office holders in this State expire
For the information of all who feel inter
ested in this matter we would state that
the commlssi ms of the prominent office
holders expire as follows: Collector OF
customs, February II, 1886; naval officer,
February 10, 1886; surveyor of the port,
March 16, 1886; United States sub treas
urer, July IL, 1886. The bulk of the ted
eral appointments to minor positions are
made by these officers. In view of the
fact that the United States Senate. to
whom all presidential appointments must
be referred for approval, is Republican,
the President could not move more rapid,
ly than he is doing.

to a statement of the wages paid farm aborers
in various parts of the country at present and
during a Number Of years in the past. Many
correspondents in the South complain of the
unwillingness Of the colored laborers to work
steadily, and of their inclination to crowd into
cities, while others speak more fsvorably. The
report suggests the opening by labor unions or

Senator German, when informed that
certain Maryland politicians were highly
provoked because Mr.. Allison had been
selected as assistant postmaster, said Mr.
Allison was selected because OF his su YER
ior business qualifications, and his ap
peintment gives entire satisfaction to the
business community of Baltimore. In local
politics he may have differed with some
gentlemen, but on national issues his de-
mocracy cannot and has never been cues
toned. We are dating this thing from
the election of Cleveland, and not the last
century, The Senator also stated in con-
necrion with the other federal offices in
Maryland that he supposed the col ector
ship of internal revenue would next be
called up for consideration, the President
pose of that class of cases before going
into the customs and judicia! appoint
ments. Mr.. German said he could not
prevent persons from claiming that he vas
supporting them in their endeavors to pro-
cure appointments, but, as a matter of fact,
he was not pledged to support any one
person for any of the Federal offices in the
State. His advice to al applicants had
uniformly been to file their applications
with the appointing power, and their
claims would receive due consideration
when the hour arrived for finally dispos-
ing of the question. MIR. German was in
New York Tuesday to attend a meeting
of tine Senate committee authorized at the
last session of Congress, to investigate the
subject of interstate commerce, with q
view to improve regulations on the subject
