The meeting Of the Legislature natu-
rally revives interest in the oyster ques-
ton. Discussion Of the subject has been
suspended for a time. but many have
been quietly Studying the situation. and
the present Legislature is probably more
competent to deal with the subject than
any Of its predecessors. There is a GER
'aiuty also that great variety OF legis-
lsiiou will be offered at Annapolis. and
public interest in the question must be
excite while these measures are under
discussion.
The people Of Maryland are divided
between two separate and conflicting
opinions upon the oyster question.
There is large portion Of the popula-
ton more or less interested in oyster
catching. Their livelihood depends upon
it, and for generations they have gone
out to the beds Of the Chesapeake. have
taken oysters at pleasure and have sold
their in the markets. Returns from
this in ustry constitute the sole income
Of some thousands Of people in the tide
water counties. They look upon their
rights in the oyster grounds of the bay
and its tributaries as inalienable, and
they stubbornly resist anything which
looks like encroachmcnt upon chose
rights by the State or private corpora
tious. Oyster men aud their sympathiz-
ers constitute one class Of ideqs on the
oyster problem.
Men engaged in packing and selling
oysters, together with a large and grow
ing class Of people who look at the ques-
iioH from the theoretical standpoint, see
the beds growing less productive and
naturally incline to the opinion that hero
ic measures should be taken TO restore
the beds and increase the annual output.
1t would appear as though the interests
of the longer and the packer sere one.
but they are not so interpreted, and the
latter. with disinterested students of the
oyster Question. constitute the party
which advocates private ownership and
systematic oyster planting.
The contention between these two
ideas constitutes the principal difficulty
in the way Of a satisfactory solution Of
the oyster problem. For the State to
keep the Chesapeake open to the tonger
aud dredger and to undertake oyster
propagation on vast scale would solve
the problem, but the taxpayer in Garrett
county does not see why he should be
called upon to help pay the expense Of
such an enterprise. Again, the division
Of the oyster lands and their sale or
lease to private owners who would en-
gage in oyster farming would solve the
problem. but the longer end dredger of
three generations does not see why his
ancient rights should be taken from him.
Therefore. the task imposed upon the
Legislature is to adopt some sort Of mid
die ground between these extremes. and
to provide both for "opeu preserves
and for private oyster farms. 1t is the
only path of wisdom presented 10 the d.
versity Of sentiment which now sur

From Sheffield. the center of Eoplish

From Sheffield, the center of English
cutlery manufacture, comes the ne VS.
that the trade of 1891, under the Nc
KiDley Law, was not one half the trade Of
1890. This means that in about the
same proportion Americans used more
American made cutlery in 1891 than in
the former year. Yet nobody has heard
ofany advance in the price of cutlery
The home supply has been expanded 10
to Gil the demand, furnishing more en-
ployment for American woskingmen, but
not adding to the cost for American con-
sumers.

One of the most serious features Of the
grip this season has been the deliru N
that has often followed it. Two cases Of
this kind are reported from New Eng
land. one Of Trinity College student,
who, in his delirium. leaped from a win
dow and was killed. and another of a
young girl. who. sick with the dread
disease, wandered out in the snow and
was frozen TO death. A large number
Of suicides have been traced directly to
the disease. The record of death from
it is appalling, and altogether it has
proven slmoss like scourgs in this and
other lands. Let us hope that before it
returns again med cal science shall have
discovered a method Of dealing with ii
which will at least decrease its terrible

Let There Be No Delay.

Every member Of the Maryland Leeis-
lature should feel the great importance
efs prompt and liberal appropriation by
that body for such an exhibit o. the IN
dustries ard resources Of the State at the
Worlds Columbian Exposition at Chi
eago as will do credit TO the whole State.
This fact cannot be repeated toe often.
nor put in too emphatic language. It is
matter that concerns the whole State
and every citizen Of it. II is mater
rhst cannot, and must not, be delayed
cannot, and must not. be dilly-dallied
with. Other Staies--some Of them Of
far smaller population than Maryland
many Of them far behind her in wealth
have already made liberal provision
for such exhibits at the grea, Pair as win
call the attention Of people from all over
the world to their growth, their industri-
al development. their mine al wealth,
and the inducements they offer for the
investment Of capital Maryland cannot
afford to lose this great opportunity-the
greatest that will be offered in this gen.
Grafton, at least-to show TO the world
whit proud position this State holds;
what magnificent BAYS and rivers she has;
what favorable sites she can offer for the
establishment Of factories, ship-yards.
fcundries. and industries Il all kinds;
what a delightful climate she has. and
what unusual chances Of profitable in
vestment she is ready to give to all who
will come.
Governor jackson showed in bis mes
sage his thorough appreciation Of need
for representative State exhibit. He
recommended "a liberal appropriation to
defray the expense of presenting at Chi
cago Msryland's claim to recognition as
State. and the many advantages she
eau offer to these who may come and
dwell upon ier SOIL" These words have
the true ring about the n. and show that
Governor Jackson appreciates the i'm
pcrtance Of prompt action in the matter.
He also points out in an emphatic way
some Of those rich possessions of the
State which should not be overlooked in
the exhibit. Among these he speaks of
our immense coal fields aud other mine
raj resources, eur valuable oyster beds,
ducks, crabs, fish and terrapin, our
splendid farming, truck aud garden
lands, and our delightful climate, as
among the proper subjects for descrip-
ton, exhibition or Illustration.
The collection of such an exhibit as
Maryland must make at Chicago Is no
small talk. 1t will take time and hard
work, and for it good men must be Sc
lscted. Delay now mast prove danger

Congressman Springer says that the
Democrats are not crossing any bridges
before they come to them. As the hosts
of the party are at present not marching
in the same direction, the chances are
that when they reach the first bridge
they will enter it from opposite ends. and
when they come to the center it will be a
qaestion whether any of them will get
across unhurt.
