How to Federate tho British Empire

Thore has been Of late in English periodi-
Gals vigorous revival Of the discussion Of
federation schemes, caused. probably, by the
perception that the concession OF home rule
to Ireland cannot be deferred much longer.
There Is q wide difference OF opinion regard
Ing the feasibility Of confederating the Brit
success OF tho American and Swiss expert
rnents. the problem should not BIO pro-
nounced unsolvablc.
Conspicuous among thoss who look upon
the project scientifically is Mr.. WILLIAM LOB
BAN. O contributor to tho Westminster Re
Vitw. He thinks, to borrow phrase often
In the mouths OF nurses. that the British
empire will have to be good deal worse be-
fore 1t 10 better. He holds, in other words,
not only that Ireland, Scotland, and Wales
must first acquire exclusive control OF their
sectional affairs. but also that all the outly-
ing dependencies Of the United Kingdom
he does not expressly except India, but we
assume that he means to do so-must first
obtain thor independence before coufedera-
ton will DO practicable. Tho assertion
seems scarcely to be borne out by precedent
Our States were not independent of each
other when they adopted tho present
Constitution; on tho contrary, they were
existing under a form OF confederation
which professed at least to be perpetual.
and by which tho promotion of their co,lcc-
tive interests and tho exercise OF some col
lective powers were delegated to central
governing body. The Swiss cantons had
been moro or less loosely federated FOR CEN
turtles. and had actually at ono tlmo been
consolidated In an Helveian republic be-
fore they accepted their present federative
organic law. Tho Canadian provinces at
this moment are federated under scheme
which they did not franc for themselves.
but which was bestowed upon them by tho
parent State. 1t is not. therefore, as mat
ter OF history indispensable that the mem
beers OF q workable permanent confcderacy
should begin by being independent before
sacrificing part OF their autonomy for the
collective veal
They who look with hope upon the fedora
tive plan have obtained valuable adherent
In Prof. CYRIL RANsoME, who, in the Conten-
poya,y Rerfe,r. strongly advocates tho ad-
mission OF colonial representatives to tho
House Of Commons. Englishmen are fond
Of precedsnts, and they will be interested, II
not Impressed. by the fact that such admis-
sion would not be unprecedented. Mr.. RAN

Encouraging Prospects for Annap.
oils.
The prospect for spring develop
ment in and around Annapolis ii
catering. We are moving steadily
along the line Of progress; not run
ming mad over any wild enterprise,
but determined to make healthy
growth, which assures to the city
and its suburbs a prosperous future.
Incorporation for saleo the yalua-
bic property at West Annapolis, and
laying of building lots of ample size
SO convenient to the city, has filled a
want long felt here for more elbow
room and healthy and attractive
sites for building. Ground has been
broken recently for a handsome cot
tage there, and a contract will
soon be awarded for another. This
is but the beginning Of the spring
work, and the merry sounds of saw
and hammer viii be heard with IN
creasing Yigor as the season advances.
West Annapolis will move ahead this
spring.
Another very desirable addition to
the city is the beautiful contigu-
Gus estate belonging to the heirs Of
the late James S. Franklin and James
Murray, both within the city
limits. Franklin Street, leading from
Church Circle, at present stops at
Cathedral, only one block from St.
Anne's Church, the Court House and
the centre Of the city. The City
Council has under consideration
the extension Of this street, which
will bring into market many build
ing lots, most desirably located and
closeinto the city. This will create
rush to secure the best locations, and
the fact is they are all so good that
1t can almost be said they are all
best, as one fancies. No doubt the
city will have considerable additions
to its building, as this property is
sold off. Mr.. George I. Melvin is
laying good foundation for the
development of this enterprise.
Contemporary with the subdivision
of these old estates for building
purposes, there appears also to be I'M
usual activity among the building
associations of the city.
The old Annapolis Building Asso-
citation with Mr.. L. IL. REIN, its we'll
known president, is operating extern
siyely and has considerable capital.
The Granite State, represented by
Mr.. r. G. Elliott is also at work
its patrons facilities for erect
ing homes.
The new association, represented
by Mr. D. r. Randall, who is act
ing for the promoters, and which
promises to draw into it an extensive
Naval Academy element, as well a.
the home capital, is also in motion,
And last, but not least, there Is
the Annapolis branch of the
Southern Building and Loan Associa-
ton, Of which Mayor Brown is presi-
dent, is operating with board Of
directors that will ensure the conf
dence Of all and the financial sup
port Of very many. All these insti-
tutions offer capital wherewith to aid
in erecting new homes within the
city and in its immediate vicinity.
With choice and cheap build
ing sites to select from, with per-
sons who want coy homes Of their
own, and with money in sight to
erect them, how can We help hav-
ing progressive opening and pro-
gressive growth during the approach
ing spring.
