Speaker Crisp has announced two coEi-
mittees, on Accounts and Mileage. OF the
former Congressman Rusk, of Maryland, is
Chairman This is the only Craftsmanship
the state will likely get, though other menl-
bers may get places on important commit
tees. The House Committees, tits thought,
will mo- be announced until after the holi-
day recess, and nothing will be done in
either house until the recess is over, be-
yond the introduction of bills.

President Harrison on Thursday nomi-
mated Stephen B. Elkins to the Senate as
Secretary of War, to succeed Redfeld
Proctor, of Vermont, who resigned to ac-
cept seat in the United States Senate, by
appointment of the Governor of Vermont,
as successor of Senator Edmunds. Elkins
claims West Virginia as his home, though
he is native of Ohio, was once resi-
dent of New Mexico, where he held a
number of offices, and now has a handsome
residence and an Office in New York City.

Suggestion to Worlds Fair Promo
tiers.

If the people of Maryland are determin-
ed to spend 100000, regardless Of the
absence of constitutional warrant, let the
Legislature invest that amount in the
cheap lands of Prince Georges, Charles,
St. Marys and Calvert counties, divide the
land into fifty acre farms and donate them
to upright, moral and industrious citizens.
This would be an expenditure from which
more good would result than from exhibits
at fifty worlds fairs One hundred thous-
and dollars would purchase twenty-five
thousand acres, and furnish homes for five
hundred families, one hundred and twenty
five for each county. The introduction of
these families would stimulate that whole
section and make it once again productive
and prosperous. If 100000 must be
spent without constitutional authority,
here is a good plan.

In opposing an appropriation by Balti-
more, to have our manufacturing interests
displayed at the Chicago fair, Mayor
Latrobe said he would remind the gather
ing that an appropriation by the state
would come in large degree from Balti-
more, which paid two-thirds of the state
taxes. Baltimore pays but little more than
half-in round numbers S444,000 against
Sill 900. We have no doubt that Balti-
more would contribute two-thirds, if per-
sonal property there could be listed and
made to bear its Just proportion, but it does
not. In the counties nothing escapes.

Stopped the Deacon's Prayer.

NEW HAVEN, Dec. l4.-For several weeks
the people of Gundy, small hamlet in the
town of Lyme, have been having a religious
revival. Prayer meetings have been held
nightly in the Grundy schoolhouse, on the
New London turnpike. People were present
flom far and near last Friday night, and among
them Deacon Gillette from Grassy Hill The
exercises were interesting, and few of those
present paid attention TO the baying in the
woods of 0rrin 0atess hound. Deacon Gil
lette knelt to pray. He had just began to
grow iervent, when the baying hound broke
out close to the schoolhouse. The next
moment something came through an open
window, and the deacon opening his eyes
beheld beautiful red fox.
Without continuing the prayer Deacon Gill
lette skipped for the door, fumbling over
Miss Maria Hedges, who in turn screamed.
The fox made toward her, and pandimonium
followed. Outside the yells of the hound con-
tinued and his head was frequently seen ris-
ing above the window sill in his frantic efforts
to follow the fox. Finally the hound came
struggling through the open window, and the
din grew worse Some of the worshipers who
had not seen the fox cried "mad dog! = and
many women tainted away. The hound soon
saw the fox skulking behind the woodbox,
and the chase was renewed. Lightly the fox
bounded over desks, under chairs, and be-
tween the feet of the people who stood, and
over the PROSTATE forms Of others. Finally
Oates, who was present, grabbed stick and
Joined the chase. With his assistance the
fox was killed. The meeting broke up.

Protection is the cornerstone Of the Re
publican party Without it, according to
the Republican idea, the party would fall
into nothingness and the country also. 1t
is protection which sustains the prosperity
of the country and pays to labor its reward.
Without it, according to the Republican
theory, the American laborer would be re-
duced to pauperism and to a level with the
pauper-laborers of Europe. And yet Re-
publicans are enamored of reciprocity,
which is nothing else but free trade, to the
extent to which it is practlced between ma
tons They are also enamored of Mr..
Blaine, who desires to be considered the
father of the bantling. 1t is thus seen that
they are the advocates Of protection and
free trade at the same time. In other
words they are attempting the impossible
fete of riding two horses going in opposite
directions, and between the two they are
certain to fall to the ground. If protec-
ton be the blessing its advocates claim for
it, its opposite, reciprocity, cannot be a
blessing also. This is a logical conclusion
and cannot be denied

Straws show how the wind blows, and
an increase of about 1000 in the Demo
cratic majority in Boston on Tuesday, and
a great Democratic victory in Meriden,
Connecticut, the same day, are evidences
of the growth of Democratic sentiment in
the New England States. Four of that
group of states are likely to be found in
the Democratic column next November

The recommendations of the committees
appointed by the Alumni of the Law De-
partment of the University of Maryland on
reforms in judicial procedure in Baltimore,
appear to be in the right direction, in the
MAN, except the increase in the number of
Judges, from six to twelve. We see no
necessity for this. The rather, the CONSOLE
dation of the courts would indicate that
two could be dispensed with. An increase
of salary might result in securing better
quality of judge, and the salary of the six
might be divided among the four.

Make Tariff the Issue.

The Philadelphia Ledger takes high
ground in favor of making the tariff the
leading issue in the next Presidential cleo
ton. The Ledger will likely be graft
fed. Tariff reform and an honest dollar
will doubtless be the rallying cry OF the
Democratic party and it will enter the
contest in 1892 with these great leading
issues inscribed on its banners. The
Ledger says:
"The sustainers of protection should be
more than willing to invite discussion OF the
Tariff. They believe that Protection stands
the assured foundation of national prosperity,
the prop and stay of our manufactures, and
its own best excuse and defence; but there
are a great many Protectionists who favor
free raw materials. and who do not regard
the Mckinley Tariff as a fair exposition oil
genuine protection. There is, indeed, a very
common demand that that crude measure
shall be revised in accordance with the doc.
trine of protection which coddles none and
protects all.
The pretence Of protection to American
labor through the medium Of the tariff is
one of the greatest impositiOns ever prae-
tised upon the public mind The only
protection it affords is to the wealthy man
ufacturer. All the rest of mankind Is
plucked by it for his benefit. This fact is
becoming well understood by the most
obtuse The operative sees that he Is
brought into competition with foreign labor,
which is placed side by side with him in
the factory, at low wages, thus reducing
wages to very low scale. The operative
gets no benefit of the protection, the profits
of the employer alone being enhanced by
it. This fact is now becoming well I'M
derstood by every aboring man. The
benefit of free raw material is now very
generally admitted, even by tariff men, and
the falIacy of high tariff for protection
is gradually yielding to common sense and
sober reason.

The Crops of 1891.

The wheat crop of 1891 is the greatest in
our history the tobacco crop is the greatest.
The corn crop of 1891 is the second greatest,
and the cotton crop of 1891 is equal to the
greatest in quantity and the equal Of the best
in quality. The vegetable crop was never
better, and the fruit crop was never so pro
life. The orange crops Of Florida and Cal
fornia are so fine that importations of oranges
from the Mediterranean are about shut out.

President Harrison's message to Con-
grcss contains no recommendations of econ
omy; no suggestions to cut down public ex-
penses; no allusion to the billion of dollars
appropriated by the last Congress; no con-
Germ manifested for the overburdened tax
payers. 1t may be searched in vain for
ANYTHING of the kind.

Unreciprocity.
From the New York World.


The simile of the Jug handle still describes
accurately the administration so-called re-
ciprocity treaties. So far as benefits to the
people are concerned they are all on the side
ofthe foreigners. The Blaine Mckinley style
of reciprocity INTAKES foreigners only. The
new arrangement with Germany, if ratified by
the Reichstag, will reduce the taxes paid by
Germans on variety of American food pro-
ducts, but it will not take one penny of tax
alton from any German products consumed
by Americans. German beet sugar is already
on the free list. The pretense that the duty
would be restored by the President if Germany
did not make the concessions desired in her
tariff schedules is too transparent to deceive
any except those who want to be deluded. If
it were carried out it would simply restore
tax on our own people. And ifthe tax should
keep out German sugar it would enable the
sugar producers of other countries to raise
their price on account of the shortened sup
ply in this great market. TO reimpose arbi.
trarily tax upon sugar, coffee, tea or hides,
in the interest of reciprocity or anything
else, would throw away the Presidential cleo
ton in advance And Mr.. Harrison is not
likely to do that-at least not unless Mr. Blaine
should be the nominee of his party Recip-
rocity has taught the voters of this country
that the tariff is a tax paid by consumers.
And they are likely to ask, with new empha-
sis. why the people of the United States are
not as deserving of relief from taxes on their
necessaries as are the people of foreign lands.
