lying between the inland bays of the Maryland coast and the Atlantic Ocean, the object being to impregnate them with salt water in which oysters could he propagated. As a reward for cutting the canal, which would be Of great value to commercial interests, the State Is to give the company control of one half the oyster-beds in the island bays. Major Hutton, engineer of the Balti- more Harbor board, says the project Is feasible. and the company has deter mined to begin constructing the canal at n point opposite the St. Martins river, above ocean City. It Is said that by producing a current of salt water from the ocean through the bays an area of 75 square miles of oyster ground will he made available--4s, GOO acres capable of accommodating an annual oyster crop of 10000, 900 bushels, worth at the landings about s20, 1000, 900. Chincoteague Bay alone would give forty miles of oyster-ground. The beds made available for oyster-planting would practically extend between the Virginia and Delaware state lines.

.IEDICIOES.

A member of the "We" gang which met in the Republican league to plan for It's own benefit and incidentally for the nomination of General Merwin for governor gives the Register column and a half of injured innocence and bluff and gulf. He admits the main charge that has been made against the We" gang. and occupies the rest of his column and half in trying to ex- plain that those who are protesting against the We" gang are "individ- uals" and other things. The whole interview bristles with talent and judg- ment. especially with judgment. Noth- ing more judicous has been seen in these parts since the Register inter- viewed General Merwin himself and discovered from him that the Republl- cans were as much to blame for the panic as the Democrats.

The net result of the whole investi- gation is to show that the farmer in the far west Is relatively at a great disadvantage as compared with the mechanic or the farmer of the more thickly settled parts of the country in obtaining capital with which to devel- op his business. This explains Pop ullsm," the free silver craze and other phenomena. But we do not see how the condition of these western farmers in the matter of interest rates Is to be greatly improved until his part of the country is developed. and that can come only with the lapse of time.

Facts About Mortgages. From the Hartford Times

Congress provided that in taking the
 census of 1890 special investigation
 should be made into the subect of mortgages, and the results have just
 appeared in Extra Census Bulletin
 No. 71. It appears that on January l, 1890, there were in force in the whole contry 4,777,69S mortgages, represent ing $6O19.6 1885 of debt. The property mortgaged is divided, houses. homes and lots being put in one class, and
 farms or acres in another. The num- Der of mortgages of the first class was 2.303.o61, and of the second class 2,474,- 637. The amount of the total incum- brance on houses and lots was :$3.slo.- 531.554, and on acres s2,2os, 14s1sl. Thus it appears that farm mortgages make up less than one-half of the total mortgage indebtedness of the country. The total number of acres on which mortgages were placed in 1889 was 7O,678,257 as against 42,743013 mort gagged in 1880. The average rate of in- terest on farm mortgages was 7.36 per cent, and the annual interest charge $162,652,944. .. .v"@ -".-'.' -.. --,.---'
 There is a great difference observa- ble in the relative amount of these two classes of mortgages in different states. In New York, out of . total indebtedness of s1, ,607, ,S74.3o1, the sum of $1,390 ,061 ,246 is on homes, while in Kansas the amounts are, on homes $6S, ,426,7 ,755, and on acres STA, ,720,071. In < Texas, North and South Dakota and some other states, the excess of farm mortgages is even greater. The fol- lowing are the states in which there is an excess of mortgages ron acres: AL ,abama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisi- ana, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, 5 Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolia, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, ver- mont Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
 The main fact brought out by the investigation is that in the agricul- tural states of the west and south the rate of interest on mortgages is far in excess of that which prevails in the states which are more. thickly populA- ted and have been longer settled. The average rate of interest in this state on January I, 1890. was 6.64 per cent; in Rhode Island, 5.73.per cent; In ,Mas- sHahusetts. 5.44 per centi in New N '

THE WEST RIVER SCHEME.

It is claimed that the West river is navigable waterway, according to the law. But people who live around here and are used to it don't look on 1t as very navigabe. They see an occasional scow on it and quite numbers of boats used by clam diggers, crab catchers and other industrious and worthy citi- zens. But they do not see anything on it that gives them visions of Commerce, and enables them to see the sense in spending forty or fifty thousand dollars to revive Commerce which is said to depend on the placing of draw in the Kimberly avenue bridge.
 If West river is navigable according to the strict letter of the law it is not navigable according to common sense. The truth about the curious scheme is that it has so far been quietly worked by two or three people who own prop erty which they think the expenditure Ol lUtly Illy Ol oter peoples money wohuld benefit.And with the usual generosity of their kind they think nothing of incommoding the thousands who daily cross the bridge. Those who haven't been thought of by the promoters of the scheme should wake up, think for themselves and pay some attention to what is going on. When the next hearing is had there should be such an expression of public opinion concerning the matter that the Secretary of War will be able to see what the public opinion is. We believe that all the people except those imme- diately interested in favor of the scheme look upon it as ridiculous. They wonder how it has received any serious attention. They think they know some- thing about West river and it's adapta- bility to Commerce. They respect 1t for it's adaptability to clans, but they laugh at the talk about it's adaptability to Commerce.

REPUBLIC.4N HARM

Some of the Democrats are chucklinp over what they call lack of harmony in the Republican party. As an indica- tion of this lack they point to the pro- test that is made in this city against the dictation of a few Republicans who got together in one the rooms of the Republican league and made plans for the benefit of themselves and one of the candidates for governor and then went to work with great skill and tact to make the rest of the Republicans pull their chestnuts out of the fire. They point to the very encouraging affair in Hartford where Republican boss at. tempted to play trick on the Repub-
 licans of Hartford by calling a caucus
 at an unexpected time and at time in- convenient for most Republicans ex- cept himself and few of his gang and got emphatically rebuked for his action. They also point to the vigorous decla-
 ration of Republican newspapers all
 over the State against giving the partv
 again into the hands of the lobby. All
 these things, they say, indicate a lack
 of harmony. Do they, indeed? To us
 they indicate the most encouraging con- dition of harmony in the party that has
 been seen for many year. For lons
 time the party has been bossed too much. It has had too many tricks
 played on it by those whom it has in. trusted with leadership. It has even
 seen itself used by some of its leaders for their own personal benefit in lobbv schemes. All over the State there is very general realization of these facts
 There is also a very general and vip- orous and harmonious protest against a continuance of such wrongs. Of course the protest makes disturbance. But there is great harmony in it. The only dissenters are those who are hit by it.

Archdeacon Farrar and other prominent clergymen of the Church of England, as we'll as Presby- tsrian. Congregational, Baptist and Methodist ministers. They urge upon the churches of Great Britain and Ire land, first, the importance of contin- uing to pray for unity on Whitsunday second, the further formation of social unions with the object of concerted &C., ton on the part of the churches, for the solution of the great problems which confront earnest Christians eve. rywhere. on principles common to the whole brotherhood of believers; third, the adoption of periodical conferences between all Christian ministers in giy- sn districts for counsel and encourage ment. with the object of preventing the wasteful overlapping of Christian agencies; fourth, the cultivation of the belief that by brotherly conferences differences may be overcome, mutual concessions made. and desire for real unity cultivated among Christians that all the disciples of our Lord may be one.

Not long ago it was announced that a sure remedy for consumption had been discovered. Now it is announced that Dr. Koch has discovered a rem edy for diphtheria that is absolute and infallible if applied within thirty-six hours. This announcement is made on the authority of Dr. Briggs, the bac- teriologist of the New York board of health, who was sent to Berlin to in- vestigate this subject, and who has now returned home. confirming all the enthusiastic reports that have been made regarding this discovery. In Berlin he found between three and four thousand well attested cases in which diphtheria had been cured by this new antitoxine. So well satisfied are the New York health authorities of the genuineness of this discovery that they propose to establish an experimental station at once for the production and use of the new remedy, with the confi- dent expectation of saving the lives of at least 1,500 people in New York city every year.
