AS in q very sh) time the Leg

is fitting at this time to agitate the
question as to who shall be Presi-

sltion is one of Importance of which
can scarcely be over-estimated. 1t
requires a man possessing in an un-
ual degree the attributes of perfect
fairness, sound executive ability,
and thorough knowledge of parlia-
mentary practice. In looking over
the list of Senators the one who
seems To us TO be the man best fit
ted for the place is the Hon John
Hubuer, of Baltimore county. This
gentleman, having served in the
House of Delegates for the past two
terms has so merited the approval
of bis constituents as to be elected
to the Senate at the recent election
by an overwhelming majority. Last
ssion he was Speaker of the House,
and his manly, upright course of
action gained for him the admira--
ton and. friendship of every mem
Der OF the House. His experience
in that position especially fits him
for similar position in the Senate.
lie is man of unquestioned ability
aud his election to the position
would be most gratifying to his nu-

ognizes in Mr.. Hubner a man IN

fill the difficult position with honor

Mr.. Germans Honors

"No public man in the land has a
better right to rejoice in the results
Of the late elections, or to regard
the returns more clearly in the light
Of a personal triumph, than has
Senator German, of Maryland.
There has never been any question
Of the great popularity of Mr.. Cor
man not only in his own State, but
througout the country. The Dem
ocratic Convention of his State, in
July last, passed resolutions thank
ing him for his services in the Sen
ate as the leader in the struggle
against the Force bill, and Dominat-
ed him by reclamation for reelection
The answer to that utterance wos
made in the late election, when out
OF twenty four counties IN the State
Mr.. German carried twenty-five.
"Before the election st. Louis
organ, voicing the boss opposition
10 Gorman-for it is one of the in
voluntary tributes to greatness that
it shall invite the little stings of en-
mity-served notice on the Mary
land statesman that che must Sc
cure lead of at least 10000 in or
der to gain any standing as an aspi-
rant for the Presidential nomina-
tien." Mr.. Germans answer to
this was a majority o. more than
10000. So that by the unwilling
testimony of political opponent he
has more than gained standing as
an aspirant" for the Presidency.
"Mr. German has right to feel
very proud, and very happy. Mary
land has given him a decoration of
honor such as rarely falls to the
fortune of any "favorite SON. and,
best of all, the gnats of opposition
have begun to contribute their tes-
timony TO the fact that he is great
and growing figure on the political
horizon"
The above is from the Philadel-
phia Record, one Of the leading in-
dependent journals of the country.
The Record, some time since opposed
Mr. German, but his craftsmanship
displayed in his recent antagonlsm
of the Force bill made the senior
Senator friend of the journal
which now pays him the deserved
complimentary reference.

is also becoming great lever IN

Unless some great change takes
place in our financial or social sys-
tenn, the Millionaire is certainly com
Ing. and at rapid pace. True, a
vast fortune does not multiply by
mere interest II kept at home. quite
so rapidly as one Of more moderate
size on account of the difficulty Of
reinvesting snch enormous incomes
at full rates of interest. But it is al
80 true that in other respects large
fortunes tend to increase much more
rapidly than very small ones.l OPP
portunities for large profits on speci-
al transactions are presented to mil
lionaires far more often than to
others. They are more liable TO gain

can afford 20 pay Tor the very best
service, AID they can ana do se-
cure agents Of great ability and in

make safe investments in the West

cent Small capitalists must keep
their money at home, because
they cannot watch over distant in
vestments or afford to employ 10 cal
agents. These advantages more
than compensate for the lower rate
of interest which large capitalists
often have TO accept on home invest
ments in consequence OF their rapid
accommodations.
Thus we see that in the last twenty
years, while rates of interest have
been constantly declining In America,
vast fortunes have increased more
rapidly than ever before. Several
non-speculative estates have increased
fve-to in less than forty years.
Interest Is now very low; but adding
to interest the steady increment OF
city lands, an addition of at least
per cent per annum. at compound
interest may be counted upon for
these great estates. At that rate, a
present fortune Of 5000, 600, 600 would

less than forty years. Financial con-
ditions remaining unchanged, the
American Millionaire might reason
ably be looked for within that time
and several billionaires might be ex-
pected within sixty years.

The results OF the En- glish cavalry
maneuvers are thus summed up. The
cavalry have saddles which are radi-
cally bad and soon render the horses
useless; the staff Of workmea who go
with the cavalry on service to tit and
repair the saddles are ignorant of
their work; the officers, who are as
much bound to keep their men efficient
for marching as for fighting, know
only SO much aboJt saddlery and sad
ding as they can gain by voluntary
effort; the equipment which the horse
has by regulation to carry is beyond
his power and would soon cripple
him and, finally, how the weight
should be carried and distributed on
the animals back, is practically left
to chance, while on the horses feet
are shoes which quickly wear out.
1t is simply impossible to affirm, in
the face Of these facts, that, even as

cient and prepared for war. II is in-
