The Holdin. Of oyster Lots.

The recent decision OF the Court OF Ap-
peals in the case Of Hess VS. Muir aad oh
ers (Judge Ritchie delivering the opinion
disposes Of many important pein's no;
hitherto adiudicated affecting the rights
Of owners Of land bounding on the navi-
gable waters of the State, and of those.
also, who have been licensed to locat
oyster lots. The complainant claimed, a.
such laud owner, the exclusive right OF
bedding oysters and of al uses in the sol
covered by water in front of his land
short of interfering with navigation. The
Court of Appeals decides that as such ri
parian proprietor he has no rights over
such soil except accretions when actually
formed, and the right to improvements
actually constructed and connected with
the land. The complainant purchased
some thirty four oyster lots in front of his
land, which he bought of their alleged
owner at the same time he bought the
land of him. These lots were procured
originally by having them located by 9th
er persons and then assigned to him.
The court holds that as the law restricts
the same person to but one lot, neither
the first proprietor nor the purchaser took
any title to the lot so procured, and that,
also, the complainant being a non resi-
dent, although owner of the adjacent land
can hold no lot whatever. The court
pronounces the right to locate oyster lots
a license only, revOcable at the pleasure of
the State; that as personal privilege only
it can neither be inherited nor assigned :
that besides, the right to transfer such
lots not being expressly conferred, if they
were assignable non-residents might read
lily come possessed of them, and an aggre-
cation of many lots in the hands Of one
holder would become possible, and thus
the object of the law to contine the bene-
fit of oyster planting to its own citizens
and the prevention of the monopoly of the
oyster grounds be frustrated; that the
only security for the holders lot is the
fairness and sense of Justice of the State
in dealing with its citizens But it re-
tains the right to revoke all such licenses
if the public interest should require it.
But while it may exercise this power the
oysters depositel on the lot by the license
remain his personal property and can be
disposed Of accordingly.

During the course of speech delive red
at Boston recently, Governor Hill, of New
York, makes the following very sensible
remarks: II am opposed to the confirm
atory power Of the United States Senate.
l believe that with power should 60 re-
sponsibility-not a divided, but q full re-
sponsibilty. When the people elect q
President he should be permitted to Sc
lect, untrammeled by senatorial fancy, his
own advisers. 1t is only what is called
the courtesy of the Senate that requires
the confirmation of the Presidents ap-
pointees He can only appoint without
the confirmation OF the Senate what are
denominated in the Constitution the infe-
rior offices In my judgment, he should
appoint them al, and more especially tho
important position in the gift of the gov
ernment. How e'se can he carry out and
enforce the policy and principles of his
administration A President just elected
by the people should not be permitted TO
to be confronted 10y the opposition of .
Senate elected two and four years before
his own election. He represents the pso-
pie and their wishes more than does the
Senate. | am utterly opposed to any pol

The Catholic Church in this country has
been fortunate in having for its high est
representatives., men who have sprung from
the people. Though the polty of the
church is strictly democratic, in Europe
ari-tocratic birth, wealth and the claims
of long descent arc sometimes oper atius
causes in the selection Of princes Of the
church. But here the leveling tendencies
Of the Republic are felt not only IN things
temporal but also 10 those that are spirit
ma. This fact is emphasized by the ele-
vation OF Archbishop Gibbons to the Car
dinalatc. The grocer's boy of New Or
leans of 40 years ago, the humble priest
who d"nned the cassock Is year, later, is
now net only inves ed with the power to
create Pontiff hut also, if the High Con-
clave so DEGREES, to sit in the chair of the
fishermen and WELD that authority which
once made the thrones Of Europe tremble
and changed the dynasties of Christen-
dom. Whether ss President of the people
or prince of church there seems to be no
limit to the possibilities of American citi-
zenship. And in the case in question it
will he admitted by all that the honor is
well deserved. When the first American
Cardinal died he was regretted even in
those circles where there was d wide di-
vergence from his creed ; and all who had
ever met with Cardinal Gibbons can rec
ognize the gen'eness and simplicity of his
character and his admirable fitness for the
exercise of large powers, and unite IN the
hope that be will long continue in his ex

The Boston Herald of Monday last pub
fishes an interesting account of the views
of prominent New York business men as
to the present condition and prospects of
trade. They all agree in the opinion that.
notwithstanding the temporary interrupt
ions caused by the labor strikes, we are
on the eve of great business revival, and
that the settlement of these difficulties
will be followed by period of prosperity
similar to that which the country enjoyed
from 1879 to 1881 Each of the parties
interviewed bases his judgment On facts
within his own knowledge, so that the
concurrent testimony is of the very high
est value. There is not croaker in the
whole list.

In estimates made by the State Labor
Statistician, says the Maryland Republican
the direct loss in wages to the laborers o.
Maryland, from the strikes of 1884 to 'S6
is $262,800. More than quarter Of mil
lion of dollars thrown away. For no ben
efts, either direct or indirect, can be said
to have accrued to them, in consequence
of these strikes. Only one trade is report
ed as succeeding. The tin can makers, in
their strike of 1885, gained an increase Of
wages, after losing some time, in all over
one month of the season. How well do
these facts confirm the Knights of Labor
in their position of decided opposition to
all strikes. Mr.. Powderly has denounced
them freely as demoralizing and in hostil-
ity to the real interests of workingmen
1t will be step forward in our civiliza-
tion, and promotion of the pros perity and
happiness of the entire nation, if some
permanent board of arbitration can be
constructed and empowered to settle all
difficulties between employers and en-
ployees, without the danger and disturb
ance of strikes. A quarter million dollars
is more money than the working men of
this State can afford to throw away for
the mere glory of the thing and the fun OF
strike!

The committee of ways and means of
the House of Representatives as was cx-
pected, have made an unfavorable report
on the Randall tariff bill. This was no
doubt expected by Mr.. Randall himself
when he introduced the bill. He only did
50 for buncombe, expected perhaps there
by to divert away from himself some OF
the odium which he justly incurred by his
action in regard to the Morrison tariff bill.
The Democratic party, by honestly press
ing the Morrison tariff bill for considera-
tion, has redeemed its pledges to the peo-
pie and will not be held responsible for
the action of Mr.. Randall and his refrac-
tory following.

At Milwaukee, Friday, Judge Sloan de
iivered an opinion on the motion to quash
the indictment of Robert Schildng, State
organizer of the knights of Labor, who is
on trial on the charge of conspiracy and
making threats in connection with boy
colts. Judge Sloan ruled lhat since
Schildng threatened to put the vast ma
chinery OF the knights of Labor in opera
tien to prevent the public from pa'roniz-
ing the firm boycotted, he injured the
firms income, which was as much proper
ty as machinery or buildings, and that to
attempt to dictate to them against their
will whom to employ or discharge was a
parallel otlense. All organizations of the
kind seeking to interfere with the business
of manufacturers of others are not in ac-
cord nce with law. Said the Judge ::
Lab 'rers or capitalists may organize for
their own protec ion, but have no right to
take the aggressive. In our social and
industrial life and our government, the
socialist, the anarchist and the boycott
have no place"

Ia many discussions of the Labor question
there has been Il failure to notice the distress
brought upon the workingmen br the tariff
which, by decreasing the nominal wages paid
and increasing the cost OF commodities, plucks
the unfortunate victims twice. We are aware
that to say this is to fire shot n the very pal
adjum of protection, to stir upa hornets nest,
To beard the lion III his den, or 70 do any other
rash and daring thing which the eNuherant

on the lurd and livid faces of ''our friends,
the enemy as in accents tremulOus with emo

wages hish; it brings happiness to humble
homes ii Scatters the flowers of comfort among

But, lest we be chargeable with a frivolous
treatment OF an important subject, We hasten

for work. The price of labor, like the price of

Baltimore as assistant at St. Lukes Church,
returned to the Eastern Shore and was
rector for several years of the church at
Ches.ertown, after which he came back to

There is nothing in the condition of the
business before Congress to prevent the
adjournment of that body before the 21st
of the present month. The general detc-
iency and the forti6cations bills are the
only ones still requiring consideration in
the House, and these can be gotten out of
the way within the present week. The
Senate, of course, has these and other ap-
preparation bills yet to consider, but un-
less the unexpected happens, there will be
everything to favor speedy action upon
them. When the appropriation bills have
been disposed of the House will undertake
to consider, it is said, before adjournment,
the interstate commerce bill, the land for
feiture bill and Mr.. Morrison's resolution
to apply part of the surplus to the redemp-
tion of bonds. The absurd structure of
Mr.. Randall's tariff bill will also, it is
thought, be'exposed in an adverse report
