The judge issued a writ Of man

so.
La the proceedings of the council
there appears to have been neither
law nor order followed: the mayor
said 70 throw out the vote on the
Citizens ticket, without either vote
or voice from the aldernen,but on
second thought it was discovered
that no reason had been given and
then he went to the court house to
have Mr.. Runell ct. al. draw up the

Blain and Senator Cullom from the

We have not solved the silver
question to the satisfaction of Our
own mind. We got this far and
then got stuck: II seemed to It's
that unless free coinage would al
ways keep Il parity between the
metals, this country would become
a dumping place for the foreign sill

us. We referred the matter TO an
independent brother and were .old
that since the free silver advocates
do not propose to have the govern.
ment redeem silver with gold, the
foreign silver would either enter the
channels Of trade in this country
and thereby increase our wealth or
else 60 back to Europe and there
have only its former value. That
eased our seeming opposition to the
bill temporarily, but we have now

most forty. Last year like tickets
were run ard Hance Murphey was
elected mayor against Col. Boynton
by four votes aud the entire ticket

was beat Tor alderman by john
McGrath. This year Col Boynton
was nominated on their ticket but
informed the committee that wait
ed on him that, "your candidate |
can mt be-" Mr.. C~overdale was
then offered the place,and accepted.
The old officials evidently saw the
handwriting on the wall, and the
plan seemed to be to nominate any
doubtful person who would accept,
and thereby to carry the day. The
genuine politicians, the candidates
and even the county officials took a
prominent part in the canvass,a sys.
tematic house-to-house campaign
was carried out and every voter was
watched on election day-all to be
so overwhelmingly defeated. The
"Citizens' Of course were not ASLEEP
but it is safe to say that not one-thlro
the work was performed by them as
was performed by their opponents
and yet they came away victorious
thanks to the Australian ballot.

MeIyin,s Truck Farms.

MeIvin's Truck Farms on the Severn
are an enterprise which offers great
inducements to all desiring small farms
of good soil and very desirable loca-
ton. They adjoin West Annapolis,
with which beautiful suburb they will
soon be connected, by substantial
bridge oyer Weems' Creek. Mr.. Melvin
has shown great push and good man
agement in securing this bridge. Hav-
ing obtained from the Legislature, this
session an act, authorizing him to con
struct the bridge, he has placed it un-
der contract with Mr.. Nathaniel
Glow, who expects to complete it early
in May. Work is being vigorously
pushed, and whether the weather is
good or bad we look forward To the
prompt finish of this very desirable
and important improvement. As the
spring opens many visitors aud pros
pectors will be down and real estate
business promises to be lively. The
sales of these truck farms will not only
add to the population and wealth of
the suburbs of Annapolis, but will
contribute an important source of
supply to our markets. These lands
are particularly adapted to the growth
of vegetables and fruits. And located
as they are so near the city and with
good road approaches, there can be lit
tie doubt but that they will under
proper management be successful.
We understand that quite number
of Germans, who are we'll versed in
the culture of fruits aud vegetables
and who are an industrious and thrift
ty people, have applied for these
farms. They will come with more or
less capital, so that Melvin's truck
farms will soon be an important feed
er to our markets, and auxiliary,to the
progress and prosperity of this com :
munity. Mr.. Melvin has the pluck;
trifies do not scare him. and we may
expect success as the result. THE
EVENING CAPITAL for his own sake
and for the sake of this city and coun-
ty predicts for him prosperous sea-
son and extends its best wishes and
encouragement. We should all be
glad to see Mr.. Melyin's enterprises
prosper, because as community we
shall all share substantially in their
prosperity.

Among the applicants for commander
are Capt Hedge Thompson aud G. X.
Leonard, of Talbot county and Mr. Jacob
Plowman. OF Hartford county, whom
General Seth succeeded. II is stated that
Messrs. Thompson and Leonard will not
antagonize General Seth IL he should
conclude to be an applicant for re-elec-
ton. For the two steamers and the
thirteen sailing vessels comprising the
fleet there are numerous applicants, who
will bring all the influence they can COM
mand before the board of public works
between now and the time for making

General Douglas Looking Into the
Affairs of His ONCE

Adjutant General Douglas has been
engaged examining the numerous requi
sitions from the different commands and
the bills payable on the first instant, and
last night had a conference with the
Governor on the same subject. also in
regard to any changes that may be me-
cessary in the reorganization of the Ma
tional Guard under the recent law pass
ed by the Legislature and the new Uni
ted States regulations and tactics.
He has also been considering the APP
plications for new companies, as proved
in the act Of the Legislature Just passed.
General Douglas finds that owing TO the
heavy expense of the last encampment
the fund now available will not be suffi-
cient 10 pay the current expenses of the
guard up TO the Ist of October next.
when the new appropriation becomes
available, unless he can anticipate that
appropriation by using some OF it in adj
vance. Whether he can or will do that
may be determined by him.
After further consultation with the
Governor II is evident he will have no
funds TO organize new companies until
after the first of October or to incur any
expenses not absolutely necessary TO
keep the present guard going He thinks
all of the appropriation will be needed
for the next two years in view OF the en-
campment of 1893 or the Chicago Fair.
If IL be possible TO go TO the World 5
Fair at all with troops, unless the United
States government pays for their trans
portation.

Carrier Pigeons in the Navy.

Prof. Marion, of the Naval Academy,
is accomplishing good results with the
loft of carrier pigeons received from Key
West, which he is having carefully train
ed at the Naval Academy. 1t was Prof.
Marion who first suggested the carrier
pigeon service in connection with the
Naval Academy, of which mention was
made at the time in the EVENING CAPITAL
and this system will be put into practi-
cal use during the coming summer. when
the efficiency of the service will be tested
by messages sent from the naval cadets
practice vessel at sea to the Naval Acade-
my. 1t has already been tried at short
distances with satisfactory results. and
Prof. Marion believes that birds liberia
ted from the practice ship this summer
will reach the academy In good time
The carrier pigeon messenger service is
popular in foreign countries, and is used
to great advantage in communicating at
long distances, both on land and sea.
