We are indebted to Mr.. Simeon Spicer, of
the Baltimore Custom House, for statistics
relating to immigrants arrived in the GUS
toms district of Baltimore, during the year
1890. The total number was 80, 200, of which
only $50 were cabin passengers, the remain
der having come over in the Storage. OF
the number who came there were ITO more
males than females; %, 365 were over years
of age and 6,305 under that age. The immi-
grants came from almost every country
under the sun. The bulk of them, however,
were from Germany, which sent US 1887 !;
Austria 1,7S4, Bohemia 1877, Hungary 1928,
Russia 1898, Denmark 439. England 329,
France 121. Ireland 1853, Scotland 2, Sweden
1872 and Poland 220. The summary is inter-
esting and suggestive.
The vote of the Methodist laity on the
the question of admitting women as delegates
to the General Conference sums up total of
nearly 400, 900, of which three-ffths were in
the affirmative. The result may be far
reaching in its consequences and may in the
end lead to women being ordained as preach
ers. 1t may likewise give additional strength
to the movement in favor of women voting
in secular affairs.

"A free silver coinage bill was passed by
the Senate on Wednesday night, but its fate
in the House is problematical. The demand
for free coinage of silver is widespread and
this Congress or the next must yield to the
popular will. Doctrinaires may PROFOUND as
many theories as they please tending to show
the evils which are likely to flow from it, but
the tide of feeling in its favor is resistless and
the experiment will doubtless be tried. The
fact can not be gainsaid that steps heretofore
made in the direction of free silver coinage
have not resulted as disastrously as Senator
Sherman and the opponents of silver predict
ed, and there is, therefore, some reason for be-
lieving that the county will not suffer as
much as is feared by charging its circulating
meniam, especially when it is to consist of a
precious metal used as money the world over.

The Archer Bond Cases,

Messrs. White and Poe, on the part of the
State, offered third replication on Friday,
to the defendants pleas, alleging the embez-
element of money obtained by the purchase
of A treasury relief bonds instead of the
bonds, as previously alleged, which asallow.
ed by the Court after able arguments by the
counsel of the contending sides.
The objection of the defense was not that
the State could amend but that if this were
done. they were entitled to continuance,
and that the Attorney General was well
aware of the fact that $4,000 was not an alb
straction of bonds but of cash, as this was
brought out in the investigation last spring
Judges Fowler and Burke after consultation,
decided that the ends of justice did not re-
quire continuance, and ordered the trial to
proceed.
After a letter 10 regard to some coupons
was read the State closed.
Mr.. Carter then said, "In the attitude in
which the case is now the defense declines to
offer any testimony" and asked for time to
prepare the prayers for instructions, which
was granted. Mr.Albert Constable, who has
been unable to attend for several days, was
present on Monday.
On Tuesday the Court granted all the in
structions to the jury asked by the State and
refused all the defendants prayers.
The instructions in substance are that the
jury is to find for the State if they be.
lieve certain evidence offered by the State to
be true, and that the failure of the State Off
cials to comply with the provisions of law re-
quired of them by the Constitution and acts
of assembly does not exonerate the bondsmen
from liability. Motions were also filed by
the defense to exclude certain testimony.
The motions were likewise overruled by
the court. Argument for the State was begun
before the jury by Mr.. Poe, on Tuesday.
On Wednesday Messrs. Cans and Carter
concluded argument on behalf of the defend
ants, Attorney General Whyte closing for the
State on Thursday.
In the course of his remarks Mr.. Cans, for
the defendants, said that while he did not pro-
pose to argue that the negligence of State Of
fcials exonerates the sureties, yet he did
claim that such neglect makes the technical
defence good one. "Had the State securi-
ties" he confined, "been examined four times
year, then there could have been no defal-
cation, or if there was no neglect, then the
Governor was aware the defalcation was going
on. The State of Maryland is reeking with
negligence in regard to this transaction. The
sureties are the only ones who have been
guilty of no negligence. There is not q sim
gle law passed for the protection ofthe sink
ing fund which has been observed. $685..
0OO," he continued, "from these gentlemen is
the claim of Shylock. The State cannot
wash itself clean at the fountain of justice"
Mr.. Carter also spoke of the negligence of
State officers and analysed the claims of the
State very infinitely, with much force and
ability.
Whatever the decision Of the jury may be,
the case will 60 to the Court of Appeals. If
they should fail to agree, the case would have
to be tried again, before another jury.

A New Force Bill Proposed.

Senator Quay on Monday introduced in
the Senate Force Bill which is intended to
take the place of the one proposed by SEN
ator Hoar and Mr.. Lodge. In the latter the
CLEAN of the bayonet was hidden. but Mr..
Quay casts aside all prelence and his bill
fairly bristles with bayonets, muskets and
military trappiugs. The last section is as fol-
lows:
when it shall appear to the satisfaction of
the President Of the United States that in any
locality the provisions of this law cannot
otherwise be executed it shall be his duty,
and he Is hereby empowered, to suspend
there the writ of habeas corpus and to en-
ploy the armed forces of the United States,
naval and military, for its enforcement, and
for the protection of the officers whose duties
are herein provided for"
1t will be seen that Mr.. Quays bill not on
ly permits the President, at his will, to sus-
pend the writ of habeas corpus but to order
the army of the United States to any point
he. pleases to aid the partisan officers provid-
editor in the law to count in, unmolested,
any candidates they please Neither the
Gear of Russia, the Emperor of Germany nor
the Sultan of Turkey possesses any greater
power than this. If passed it would be the
beginning of the end Of our free government.
1t is intimsted that Senator Quay, who op-
posed Senator Hoar's bill, has introduced his
Force Bill, in all its naked hideousness, in Or
der that the country may see what Force
policy really means. Playing with edge
Ia do nd cd
mire Senator Quay's plan. 1t does no credit
to his reputation for craftsmanship and en-
phasizes the fact that the Republican leaders
in Congress have lost all pretence of regard
for the business interests of the country and
are making a mockery of legislation.
The revolt of the people in November last
was not solely against the oppressive exact
ions of the Mckinley tariff. This, of course,
it was which constrained Republicans to stay
at home on election day, but the menace to
the liberties of the country and to the bust
ness interests of every section, with which
Force legislation is fraught, also had much to
do with the result.
1t is strange that Senators Hoar, Quay
ceive that the country at large
does not desire the passage of any
Force Bill. Scores of influential Republican
journals in all parts of the North and West
have urged the Senate to put an entire stop
10 the wretched business and endeavor to de-
wise some measures of relief for farmers and
others who are groaning under burdens
placed upon them by class legislation.
The Force Bill, if it became law, would
provide for horde of federal officials who
would goad, if possible, the Southern people
to madness, and intensity the feeling which
exists in the South against negro domination.
