Mary1and's oyster Season Opened. w

BALTIMORE Oct. 49, - The season for
dredging and scraping for oysters in Mary
land waters opened yesterday. The pros
poets are chat large volume of business
will be transacted. More vessels are en-
gagged in the oyster business this season
than for several years. and the failure of
the fruit crop is expected to create a good
demand for oysters The entire fleet en-
gagged in dredging will number 800 ves-
sells Each vessel will employ on an aver
age of eight men, and 1900 men will be
employed in the business until April, This
number does not include the tongers, and
In the counties 1000 men are engaged in
longing A careful estimate recently
made by prominent packer places the
number Of persons interested in the oyster
industry at 10000.

" we will. LOOK back and compare
the present results wtth~~She- census
of 1890, we find, on the basis of thereports
that have been issued that there were as
many as 1,H355O idle persons in the
country this year who were actively en-
ployed in 1890. We further find that there
was more than one billion dollars less
wages earned than in 1892. We further
find that the value of the eproduct of the
factories has decreased by more than five
billion dollars. Also that three billion
dollars less money has been paid for ma
terial to be used in manufactures. After
these facts have been carefully studied
by every reader and thinker in the coun-
try, we should hardly expect to find one
solitary individual to advocate policy OF
Free-Trade as against protection to Ameri
can labor and American industries. We
trust that the verdict of the people, in
November next, will be an overwhelm
ing majority against any approach tc
Free Trade and for the restoration OF
proper aud adequate Protection.

The AoulA GEEK ROBBERY
The Loss by the Ih,f WIN Not Exceed
Sg5 900.

NEW NoPK, Oct. lG.-Presidont i. G.
Weir, Of the Adams Express company,
said last night he believed that the loss
from the Aquia Creek train robbery would
not exceed }25,O00, and that the sum would
probably be less, as part of that sum doubt,
less was in drafts aud bonds not negotiable.
WAsHIN 3ToN, Oct. l6.-The Adams Ex-
press company officials say they have
everything wen in hand for the capture Of
the Aquia Creek train robbers "They cam
not get away from us" said Mr. j G. Her
ing today. "We have the best detectives
to be had, and enough of them to watch
every point. II makes little difference
where they go, they will have reception.
They will be hunted down"
The express officials are working with
the heads of police departments in every
section of the country where the train rob
bers are liable to appear. Mr.. Herring
when asked about the failure Of the express
company TO offer rewards for the arrest of
the robbers, replied that he did not think
reward would secure their arrest.

WHAT about the Soldiers Monument
Its construction certainly looks like for
lorn hope. The business mems demon
stration and the picnic which were inaug-
urated with a fourishing of trumpets
dwindled to appointment and the sum
netted by the committee is not enough TO
call gain. OF course the weather and
consequent postponements were in a meas
ure responsible for the failure, but the
eagerness with which some people seized
those excuses as reason for lack Of
personal interest in the movement is suf-
ficient to convince the committee that the
patriotism of most people IN the town is a
little loose Fortunately the committee
was enabled to hold intact the funds pre-
viously in hand and not encroach upon it
to help pay the expenses incurred in the
demonstration which did not demonstrate.
The project to erect the monument has
dragged along for several years now and
it is time the committee took some steps
to feel the pulse of the people and ascer-
tain whether they really intend to carry
out the project. If 1t is to be pushed it
will be in order for those who are 50 dis
posed to give the movement some personal
aid. There are some patriots (0 in town
who think that because they belong to
some organization which contributed to
the fund they, personally, are exempt
from all action. This is just the kind of
sentiment which is doing the movement
more harm than good, and if it is to con-
tinue the committee will be justified in
liquidating its affairs and restoring the
money to the contributors. As in most
other projects, ninety nine men are anxious
to see the monument become a thing Of
existence, but they are not disposed to de-
vote an hours time to secure it; but
should a day for the unveiling of the mon
Iument arrive these very people will be
the first to distinguish themselves as men
Of the day, and one day only.

THERE is another cause for revolution
in Russia. This time, the revolt is to be
led by women entirely Not long ago a
st. Petersburg journal reported festival,
at which members Of the imperial family
were present. The reporter evidently
understood little about women's fancies,
and made the dress of the Czarina, by his
description, one long out of fashion. The
result was a ukase from the Censor Of the
Press-one of the most powerful men in
Russa-that Russian newspapers in the
future must refrain from describing, or
attempting to describe, the dresses of
Her Majesty This naturally deprives the
Russian women of an interesting subject
for discussion and criticism, and they are
extremely angry at the Censor.
