ing the name question with reference TO the
manufacturing interests Of that city, and
the conclusions reached will be found to
have more or lees direct bearing on the
general conditions that prevail here. A
number OF valuable suggestions were ad-
vsnced which are worthy Of repetition In .
general Nerm.
twas proposed In the first place 10 spend
money judiciously and discriminatory,
but freely, In calling attention u the adj
vantages which Baltimore had to offer, this
money to be raised BY popular subscription
and In the form Of donations by CONNER
clsl organizations.
In order TO foster infant industries, 1t was
proposed to furnish sites for plants without
charge and to exempt them nom taxation
for number Of years. 1t was also pro-
posed TO charter a free industrial bank,
with capital Of 81, 0oo, 900, TO assist manu-
featuring industries by advancing money
whenever there was need Of additional cap
ital. rhis capital was TO be used either as
loan or to establish special partnerships,
or to subscribe TO the steck OF manufactur-
ing corporations. The money advanced
was to be leaned at market rates for an In
definite period, being secured by the plant
OF manufacturing firm or the stock OF
merchant.
1t was suggested at the same meeting to
erect many large buildings In substantial
but inexpensive manner, 'each OF which
would afford room for number OF firms,
with an engine in the cellar OF from 80 TO
500 horse power, in order TO furnish ample
power for small manufactures, such as but
tons and the like, In the making OF which
small pieces Of machinery are used. Itwould
enable the man who employed five, ten or
twenty persons to develop his works with
out having to bear the additional expense
OF employing an engineer and locking up a
large sum of money in an expensive en-
CINE. Space would also be economical, and
the economic principle Of cooperation
would be brought into active practice"
During the course Of the proceedings one
OF the speakers said that the centrally. To-
Gated building in which the meeting was
held ''cost 1915 front loot, whereas ground
| 10 Roanoke, Va, or Tacoma, Wash, cost
two OF three times that much front foot.

leaving the city, and hold it here by en-
couraging a spirit of enterprise in manu-
| featuring, instead OF looking for large com
panies, enormous capital and big prospects
If Baltimoreans were to quietly combine IL
sm aller and less ambitious projects theil

These words are just as applicable t
Richmond as to Baltimore.

In his speech on extravaganza in pen
slons, delivered In the House Of Representa-
sives last Friday, Congressman O'Ferrali
Uttered words OF warning which should be
needed BY the country. He stated that
snoial statistics showed that there are
about $4,000 pensioners on the rolls, with
ever 100000 applications pending. He
veil said that these figures, con-
sssssed with the statistics OF the num-
Der Of the sur fors OF the South
srr army, show d how tremendously The
FEDERAL forces had outnumbered those q
abe Confederacy. and that 1t was to The
Lasting credit OF the South that her veterans
q the wsr lad not only maintained them
selves ever since the surrender, but bad
earned money TO contribute literally to the
support OF the victorious Northern soldier
The South has no specia objection TO-
wards paying her due shars' Of the taxes
levied on the country for PENSIONS, proyid
"a those pensions are desefvedly distribu'
Ted. But there is no doubt that thousands

eats OF the Governments bounty are In
novice entitled thereto. The ridiculous
decisions OF the Pension Commissioners in
Washington In favor Of pensions being
granted TO men who hurt themselves acct
IDENTIFY while going to church. or while on
drunken sprees in disreputable places, art
proof Of this. and there is really no telling
70 what extent the names Of frauds and Inn
posters are on the pension lists.
It 10 well known that one object OF th'
Republicans In reoklessly voting away thu
peoples money in this way is that th'
fund raised by Southern taxation ma,

In Q few years more the amount o
Southern money scattered among North

sum Of 5000, 600, 900, which Germany re

THE GENESIS OF THE v. S.
Brief Sketch Of Mr.. Alexander Brown the
Author.


fBoston Letter In New York Critie.l
Mr.. Alexander Brown, whose remarkable
work, 'The Genesis Of the United.States," is
to be published by Houghton, Mifilin Il Co..
on November Goth, has shown how much
can be accomplished by an earnest lnvesti-
gator in the collection Of original docu-
ments, and his ability as an editor is worthy
of his unwearied research. The archives OF
Simancas and the State Paper Office In Lon
don have yielded invaluable material to
him, and the fact that he spent fourteen
years in making this collection and that he
has executed his work at distance IRON
large libraries, adds to the interest attach
ing to il. hear that his at
tention was first drawn to the subject
by the late Charles Des mes book on Cap
tain John Smith. Mr.. Brown evidently has
the historic sense remarkably developed,
otherwise he could never have been able TO
get works of such rarity and value under
adverse circumstances. The charm OF his
book is his absorption in his characters and
the courtly personal flavor Of his style.
There is an old-fashioned elegance even In
his fooi-nOtes. His work conveys az COM
plete an idea as now Is possible OF the
movement during l605|l6, by Englishmen,
for securing for their country and their
religion all Of America between thirty-four
degrees and forty.fve degrees north lati-
| tude.
Mr.. Brown is Of Scotch descent. His
grandfather, General Alexander Brown,
came TO Virginia in 1911 and married sis
| ter OF the late Hon. William {. Riyes.
There is reason 10 believe that the mother
Of Burns was Of the same family, one men,
Der of which, DR.. James Murray Brown,
the elder brother Of DR.. Thomas Brown, the
| metaphysician. went from Edinburgh 10
Virginia prior to l79j. 1t is interesting TO
| know that the author Of 1.-The Genesis OF
| the United States" served in the Confede-
rate army. and that the roar OF General
Buffers guns at Big Bethel lost him his
hearing; but in causing his mind to develop
Its resources, the seeming misfortune was
OF benefit TO the world, which from the re-
tirement Of the country village Of Norwood,
Va, mas received such valuable acces-
sion to historical literature.

The Force Bill.
baltimore SUM-

The Force bill has this to favor ito passage
by the Senate, that the Republicans have a
majority Of fourteea In that body. Count
ing the Vice-President as favorable 10 the
bill the Democrats require eight recruits to
beat it-a number they cannot at present
feel sure of getting. But the logic OF the
situation 10 on their side. The 'domiciliary
clause.o " hich is in the bill, though Sena-.
tor Hoar said II was not, Is only one OF
many similar odious provisions that need
only to be exposed 20 light to be universally
condemned. The Democratic Senator'S are
determined TO expose all its crookedness-
as they did that Of the Tariff bill: with a
like probable effect. The West and North
west are against the bill. The most in
fuential Republican papers OF those sec
lions have declared against 1t. attributing
their losses in the recent elections in part to
Lodges hateful invention. Senator Teller
voices this Western sentiment when he says
he dislikes the Force bill and will use his
judgment in voting on 1t.

The Secretary Roll. Up His Sleeves.
New York Herald.

i%NTW iOiA Aicihiu.
II Secretary Noble pushes his reform
measures with irmness and courage our
disabled veterans will be properly taken
care OF, and these wretched pension sharks
who infest Washington and disgrace. 1.-The
country will get their deserts-the only
thing they fear.
The Herald has been persistent in its at
tacks on these creatures for two reasons
first, because they bag an extortonate fee.
which they do nothing TO earn; and, second.
because they have used their political pulls
TO rush great many fraudulent cases
through the Bureau, and so demoralize the
whole service.
II Secretary Noble will hit the rogues
straight from the shoulder, put stop 10
this infamous attempt TO rob the Treasury
and make such stringent RI les that while
the wounded soldier can get all he needs
the unworthy shall get nothing. he will lay
the whole country under obligations.
Mr.. Secretary, we extend TO you the as.
surance OF our distinguished consideration.

r would no we'll ~ in this age NJ gamer

IT would be well IL in this age Of general
relaxation the stage were subjected TO
closer public supervision than it is. Pru-
rient dramatic exhibitions ara really a
psndering TO popular morbidity, but they
undoubtedly have strong tendency to
foster what should be repressed and dis
couraged. The spirit which now finds ex-
preston in only too many dramatic perform
snces is not only deserving of the most
emphatic condemnation by public opinion,
but the public authorities everywhere should
SEQ to it that the demands Of public morality
are not violated by allowing this spirit full
room for its characteristic display.

We have In the report Of the Postmaster
General the first hint Of what the Republi-
can policy is to be in the future, and it
shows us that it is 10 he repetition of the
blunders OF the past. IL is demand for
privileges TO favored classes, for subsidies
TO the owners Of steamships, and a deficit
in all Of the revenue. 1t is probable that
this report OF the Postmaster-General was
written before the election. 1t now remains
to be seen what Congress will do with such

Stanford, the California multi-millionaire,

national ticket in 1892. Stanford can afford TO
pay more for nomination than any other
man who is likely TO want 1t, and as he is
willing TO be either the head or the tail Of
the ticket his chances ought to be good.
