We thank the Baltimore Sun for its admir-
able Almanac for 1892 The book contains
IA pages-24 pages more than any previous
issue. Its table of contents is 80 varied and
complete that there is scarcely any kind of sta

is the best Almanac of the kind ever pub
lished in Maryland, and it is safe to say that
better one has never been issued by any
newspaper. The utmost care has been taken
in compiling it and it is recognized author
ity upon every subject upon which it treats.
We have received from Messrs. Howard
Lockwood s. Co., publishers, of New York,
the neat and convenient calendar of The
american Malt and Export Journal. This
firm also publish The Paper Trade journal,
The american Stationer and The american

We are indebted to the Philadelphia

of interesting information, political and
otherwise, and is well worth preserving

Some comment has been made and the

slight to Governor Brown. This is not cor
rect, as we learn from the Baltimore Sun:
Governor Brown says the appointment of
Mr.. Robinson, of Hartford, as chairman of the
Senate Committee on Executive Nominations
is entirely satisfactory to him. Mr.. Robinson
is one of the younger members of the Senate
and man of quick intelligence and promise.
He is entirely in accord with the new admin

Some Benefits,

Commenting on an item in recent
issue of this paper urging another
railroad for Little Falls the St. Cloud
Times says:
"Another railroad would not ma
teris2ly change the rates. St. Cloud
has two "cOmpeting" lines, but the
rate is the same on both. Probably
this is accidental"
While no great benefit would be
looked for in the matter of rates, it
is certain that in even that particu-
lar the condition could be no worse.
Now one set OF officials contract the
freight rates, and a few such acts as
increasing the rate on brick shipt-
ments tend to make an emphatic de-
mand for some source of relief. II
rates were not lowered, the coming
of a road that connected with the
Great Northern would double the
size of the tributary country, and
| make Little Falls a much more de-
sirable place for operation of mills
and factories that plan to ship goods
to outside markets. A city with one
road needs two, and if the number
is increased the demand for addition
al ones continues. The fact that the
railroads of the country do not work
in harmony in regard to transferring
freight from one line to another is
one of the strongest arguments OF
the Peoples party for government
control of railroads.
