The editorial comment Of the Hagers-
towD Mail on what it terms the ''curiosi-
ties of legislation" which We publish
elsewhere is filled with sound reasoning
and is very suggestive. The elections
held in Baltimore city for State officer,
affect the rights Of the entire people and
are therefore MOI local in their nature,
and the Senate acted wisely in not allow
ing the city Senators the exclusive right
to control the election machinery. Il
is also a good suggestion of the Mail. tC
allow the city Senators to control the
matter of gas legislation about which the
Baltimore Sun IS making such a howl
1t is local matter about which the peo-
pie in the counties know but little and
care less The city Senators ought tc
know what the city wants, and if they
deceive their constituency it will be .
just retribution for sending such men tc
the Senate.

The low point to which the price Of

pres ion which has existed of late, seems
to have tempted sellers to try to find a

100 600 dry Western hides have been
shipped to Europe, in order to try that
market How this new departure will
turn out is at present entirely problemati-
