The oyster Matter in a Nutshell.
from the Baltimore News.

The great obstacle in the way of the adop-
ton Of remedy for the depletion of the
Chesapeake oyster beds has been the wide
divergence of opinion in regard to the proper
measures to be resorted to. While it cannot
be authoritatiyely said that private interests
have dictated personal opinions on the subject
in all cases, or that any one of the numerous
remedies suggested is lacking in plausible
reasons for its sufiiciency, it remains sgni-
ficant fact that almost every man in the oyster
business who considers the subject ranges
himself in support of that one Of the methods
which is best calculated to promote his own
profit. and bitterly opposes those which
threaten TO curb his business or drive 1t into
new channels.

From the Towson Journal.

From the TowSon Journal
The people throughout the State no little sur
prised to witness the efforts of esteemed con-
temporary the Baltimore Sun to lightly estimate the
weight national affairs has in our approaching
State canvas The unfortunate death of the lament
cd Senator Wilson still further complicates the
situation. Frequent reference to the question shows
that the sun practically ignores the weight of
national matters as involved in the election of
United States Senator, to boost some city or ward
interest. Without doubt the election OF Governor,
a Comptroller and other State officers, properly
qualified is a very important matter, which should
engage the most attention of the people, but
we respectfully submit that at this important juno
ture and in view of what has happened in the
Senate and House of Representatives the past three
months the election of Senators and Members of
the House of Delegates overshadUws all other con-
sidcrations And these facts are now made more
important from the sudden death of the able and
amented Senator Wilson. At no time in the history
of Maryland has she been in greater need of saga
co,s men in the Senate of the United States than at
the present time Granted that there is organized
opposition to the return of Senator German to the
Senate the Legislature will be required to elect
another sagacious Senator to fill the seat so worthiy
held by Senator Wilson For these reasons alone
the election of the best material in Maryland for
Senators and Members of the House of Delegates is
OF overshadowing Importance.
The attempt of contemporary, the sun. 10
make it appear that important national matters
arc of less importance than some municipal or ward
matter in Baltimore will not work. and the people
throughout the State recognize it. The ''Banquos
Ghost of important national considerations will not
down. and the sun knows it, 1t will be obliged to
change 'front.' Hhds not been able 10 Influence single

From the Baltimore News.

The Democratic party has some exceedingly sub
tie friends who are quite volube with advice just
now 1t is told not to trouble itself about the Sena-
torial succession in the coming campagn-that will
take care of ITSELF not to think of its past or present
leaders for they should be dethroned not to conne
itself party lines in making nominations voting
at the regular election because the result of this
canvass will be only of local interest and will not
have any national significance, and so on. OF
course it does not to these innocent advisers
that If the Democratic party is split in twain it can
not carry the stae that if the Legislature is chosen
by the opposition it will not be likely TO re-elect
Senator German; that if the opposition, whether it
is straight out Republican or disguised as an indie
pendent reform party, carries the election, that
result will be made TO have the utmost significance
by every Republican organ and orator in the land.
They do not imagine in their childlike simplicity,
that any defeat of the Democratic organization in
this city and State would be construed into Re-
publican victory; that it would be made TO appear
as Democratic rebuke just after Congress had ad-
journed and Republican encouragement on the
eve of a Presidential and Congressional campaign
oh, no, this aspect of the ease never occurred to
these friends with daggers up their sleeves

from luc IOIl lODhCCO
The untimely death of Senator Wilson having de-
volved upon the next Maryland Legislature the
unusual and most important political duty of elect
ing two United States Senators at one time, will
make the coming campaign in Maryland one ofgreat
political significance from national standpoint.
The exceedingly doubtful political status Of the up
per house of Congress at this time renders the posi-
bity of making an accession of two to their ranks
in that body, matter of paramount importance to
the Republicans. There cannot be Il doubt that il
the Republican leaders of Maryland can convince
the men who guide their national machine that
there is anything like fair fighting chance to carry
the State of Maryland this fall that they can have
their draft upon the general corruption fund hon
orcd TO any amount they may name, and that the
force of the Republican Oratorcal army will be
placed at their command.
1t viii not be forgotten that the Republicans OF
Maryland protested great hopes of carrying the
State last fall through the aid of certain disorganiz-
ing influences in Baltimore city, under the leader
ship of that tickle old lady, the Baltimore sun, and
two rural Journals who received the light of
their inspiration from the Sun. But the Democratic
press of the State, catching the inspiration which
animated the Democratic hosts throughout the
country in their onward march to the then impend-
ing great victory came together in Baltimore and in
an address to the people sounded the key note OF
the campaign in a tone so distinct and convincing
as to command universal acceptance.
In the address then promulgated twas urged that
the great principles of the national democracy in
volved in that campaign of two vast and vital
significance to the people of Maryland and of the
country at large TO have their success in Maryland
put in jeopardy by factional quarres and personal
ambitions and antagonisms within the Democratic
party. So timely and so potent were the truths
then set forth, that they were received by common
consent; and even the factional press yielded a
graceful and commendable acquiescence. The re-
suit was that the Democratic hosts in Maryland as
elsewhere, went into the great fight with closed
ranks and achieved great victory.
But lately it is observable that the same factonal
influences which were then quoted are again in
clned to sow the seeds of dscord and disorganiza-
ton within the party; giving as their excuse there
for the alleged opinion that the coming campaign
is ONO national or political significance whatever,
and, being exclusively of character local to our
State fitting time to take up and settle old per-
sonal and factional quarres and conflicting private
interests within the State and party fthis character
were the articles which recently appeared in the
Sun, of which mention has heretofore been made in
this column, and one or two members of the rural
press have been inclined to give countenance TO the
same doctrine.
