the organization is far better off than with
membership twice rs large, one-half OF

Our foreign relations are disposed Of BY
the statement that all pending difficulties
are capable Of satisfactory adjustment.
Nothing Is added TO the expressions Of
former messages respecting Canadian or
British questions, excepting with regard to
Lord Sackyille's "unpardonable conduct In
his interference with the suffrage Of Ameri-
can citizens and his subsequent public de-
clarations impugning the Executive and
Senate Of the United Sites, in connection
with important questions now pending in
controversy between the two govern
ments."
A revision of the naturalization and pass
port laws so as to give more perfect pro-
lection to citizens abroad, while preventing
abuse of the privileges of citizenship, and
'such reorganization of the consular fee
service as will abolish perqrisiLes,' are
additional suggestions not specifically In
cluded in departmental reports already
published.

TIE PRESIDENT MESSAGE.

In his communication to Congress one
year ago President Cleveland devoted more
spaee to single feature than be now gives
10 all the subjects to which he directs the
attention of Congress. The tariff and sur
plus are now disposed of in about a column
while the entire message occupies nearly
eight columns.
Respecting tariff, Mr.. Cleveland does not
snedify his proposition Of last December.
nor does he see In the result of the late
election reason to despair of the ultimate
triumph Of the principles he champions.
His views are tersely summarized in this
expression:
The cause for which the battle is waged
IL comprised within lines clearly and dis
tinetly defined. II should never be com
promised. 1t is the peoples cause.
This declaration Is followed b. a rebukt
10 the spirit Of paternalism which "would
make the general Government the fountain
Of individual and private aid" and would
dispense with "the usual rules and limita
tieh Of business principles and just dealing
As against the Government and in favor o.
private claims" The President enters {
strsng protest against the idea that claiml
should be allowed that are supported b,
no better consideration than The wealth o
the Government and the poverty of thl
elAimAnts," and he insists that public need
tAd necessities should be the criterion 0
expenditures on pnblic buildings and othe
Improvements.

IA TINE Is GRADUALLY APPROACHING
vheA the report of the Lehigh bridge
viewers will again be presented for con-
eurrsHce to the Court, 1t should behooye
the live and progressive citizens of Lehgh-
tpH and Weissport to frame a pitition and
have It circulated for the signatures OF our
prominent citizens. This should be pre-
sentsd to thsC County yCommissisner immedi-
ately upon the report being declared abso-
lrtels; It may haye, such direct bearing
en- that body as to produce the most favor
able results. The Lehigh bridge is certain
ly not safe; to thoroughly repair it will cost
several thousand dollars, and even then it
will be on old concern and soon require
more patching, until within few years the
old structure will require as much for
necessary repairs as substantial new
bridge will cost. Of course, the Com
missioners understand this, as well as do
the people, so argument is unnecessary.

elected were, of course, very slim. But

The Bold Hazers s,ill Defiant.

Notwithstanding the Presidents lenient
proclamation pardoning the convicted
''hazers" some time ago, they still persist
in harrassing the poor 'plebs' whenever
opportunity offers, and there can be
seen evidence on all sides of the little
game in which these brass buttoncd gen.
tlemen find so much pleasure. Having is
going on every day and will continue as
long as there is a single naval cadet or a
Naval Academy. The pretty little game
was witnessed on a small scale, to be sure.
on Saturday afternoon in confectionery
store, when several of the ''plebs" were
asked questions 10 which they replied
yes, sir aud mo, SIR to the upper
classmen to whom this Difference must
be paid, according to the curriculum of
hazing. Another 'plebe" was asked to
about face, &c = certain number of
times, which he obediently did. Ii haz
ing is conducted in an open manner in a
confectionery saloon in the city. certainly
it is cemmen thing in the Naval Acade-
my. This occurred. too. on the very day
that the hazers were released from the
prison ship ''Santee" and granted leave
of absence.

What the Canning Business is Dong
Elsewhere

We have on several occasions endeav-
ored to show to the readers of the CAPT
TAI and the business men Of Annapolis
generally what a canning establishment
will do for our city, and as an evidence of
what we have said we give the following
from the Baltimore Sun as to what the
canning industry Is doing for Roanoke
and Botetourt, Va. The writer saws
I'm fruit and vegetable culture and
canning the counties Of Roanoke and
Botetourt excel any others in the State
In the latter county there are now thirty
five canning establishments IN successful
operation. and this number will be In
creased to ffty next season. In Roanoke
county this industry is not so fully de
veloped, but there are several canneries
running, and the plans have been drawn
and the lumber engaged for the erection
of several more in time for the fruit and
vegetable crop of 1889. A large amount
of capital is invested in this business, In
Guiding thousands OF acres in apple and
peach orchards. Every can put upis sold
in advance at good profit. An idea of the
demand for these goods may be gathered
from the fact that one canning establish
ment here has orders booked for twelve
carloads of canned goods to be shipped
to the Southern States. and that large
force of hands is kept busy day and night.
Our farmers are not raising the quantity
of cereals they did few years ago, as
vegetables and fruits can be grown cheap
er and the land be made to pay a larger
profit on the acres under cultivation. -
Tomatoes pay we'll, as poor land will
bring 200 bushels to the acre and they
find a ready sale at 90 cents a bushel.-
The cost Of cultivation and gathering
rarely exceeds SO per acre, which affords
a profit of $780, Corn and wheat will not
pay as we'll. hence more attention is paid
TO the cultivation of fruits aud vegeta
bles. The fifty canning establishments in
the two counties named probably furnish
employment, In the cultivation Of the
crops and preparing them In the cannery,
to A 500 people at good wages, which is a
great blessing to the poor. These people
| their lot under the present administration
and the voters will sustain 1t at the polls.
| Nearly every cannery employs white la
Dor, and the colored laborer finds EN-.
ployment in raising the crops to be can
ned"
Now If this shouldn't stimulate our
people to thinking and doing something
in this direction nothing will We claim
that Annapolis and Anne Arundel county
have all the advantages that these places
have. There are dozens of small canning
establishments in our county-started as
experiments by farmers because their
| truck did not pay them to ship 1t away.
| What has been the result? Every one OF
these have succeeded beyond their ex-
pectations, and have had to double their
calming facilities. We believe canning
factory is the only salvation for Annapolis.

The Katydid.

Just at this time of the year the loqua-
cious little insect. the katydid, is fiddling
away in full earnest with the approach of
nighfall, which reminds US that the sum
mtr Is about spent, and that in few
bleak weeks the leaves viii begin to fall,
the flowers wither and frost and cold put
an end TO the delights of summer. The
katydid Is an insect of the woods, rarely
coming to our dwellings. so rare indeed
thst to hear one in your house is TO re
gard it with superstition. Go into the
woods and linger until nightfall that you
may enjoy the rustic little seesaw.
