THE political quidnuncs have been
terribly puzzled over Senator Quay's visit
to Major Mckinley last week.
Senator Quay refuses to divulge to his
closest friends the subject of the converse
tion he had with the leading Republican
candidate for the Presidency, and Major
Mckinley appears to be equally reticent as
to what he said to the Pennsylvania. All
sorts of stories are ahoat as to what might
have taken place, but they are mere sur
misses, based upon conditions surrounding
the parties to the interview
The generally accepted story is that
Senator Quay, recognizing the certainty of
McKinley's nomination went to Canton to
make terms with the candidate, for recogni-
ton as the sole Republican leader in
Pennsylvania. Another report is that his
visit was to plead for his friend and political
colleague, ex-senator Patt, of New York,
who has said some unpleasant things about
Mckinley recently.
Big and little the politicians are hurrying
to climb up on the Band Wagon.

WORK FOR THE STATE GEOLO-
GIST IN CECIL.

We hope to see the mineral and clay
deposits of Cecil county made the early
subjects of examination and report by the
State Geologist, Dr. Vim. B. Clark, of the
Johns Hopkins University, who with his
staff is now engaged in the preliminary
work of geological survey of the State.
This preliminary work will, it is under
stood, embrace this year the collection and
classification of different building stones in
the State, and the aim will be, to have
accurate and complete information for the
public on this subject To this end blanks
have been prepared for the use of observers,
and when they have been filled and filed
the survey will have information, it is
expected, about everything that comes out
of the earth in Maryland. Besides having
a sheet for remarks, the blanks contain
thirty-six questions. These cover the loca-
ton of the quarry observed, the name of
the operating individual or corporation,
their headquarters, value OF capital in
vested, the kind Of rock and its geological
age, its structure as regards qualification
and iointing, the dip and strike of the
beds, color, texture and use of the material
such as general building, ornamental, flag
ging, curbing, paving or Matchmaking. In
addition to other information relating to
the purity, density weathering properties
and character Of the resduary material
the following will be sought: Grades of
merchantable material, mode of transporta-
ton, distance from railway station or
wharf, the principal markets for it, names
of the prominent structures where it is
used the year when the quarry was opened
number Of feet quarried in year, largest
blocks yet obtained, price of undressed
stone, cost of dressing, machinery employed
power used, number OF employees and aver
age wages, the number of months of each
year in operation, and the number of hours
constituting days work.
The unlimited deposits Of granite in this
County, and the facilities for its easy trans
poTtation to market afforded both by water
and railroad constitute one of the most
important local industries of this section Of
Maryland.
1t is obvious, that these local deposits
can be turned to more profitable business
account, through the agency of the State
geologist, when public attention shall be
more generally drawn to their accessibility
and convenience to market.

: \ PERIODIC wave Of murders and brutal
assaults seems to he passing over Maryland
at this time.
Scarcely had the horrible details of the
Cooking tragedy in Charles county and the
murder of Nash in Queen Anne, been
made public, when the revolving brutality
of another attempt to murder an entire
family in Montgomery county is brought
to light.
1t is not 10 be assumed that the frequent
recurrence Or such crimes, is to be attri-
buted to the tardy or inefficient admins
tration of justice in our courts, or that life
and property are any less secure in Mary
land than heretofore.
Such unwelcome repetitious however of
this class of crimes emphasizes the necessity
of increased vigilance upon the part of the
police authorities OF the State, and stern
and umeenting prosecution of such enemies
of society.

MEMORIAL DAY.

To-day, grateful Nation will strew
with flowers the graves of its heroic dead,
and from a hundred thousand affairs will
rise the incense of gratitude and praise.
1t is the most sacred of our holidays, and
only the thoughtless celebrate it in light
and frivolous amusements.
In the language of the original order
establishing it ''Let pleasant paths invite
the coming and going of reverent visitors,
and fond mourners. Let no vandalism OF
avarice or neglect, no ravages of time,
testify to the present or coming generations,
that we have forgotten as people, the cost
of free and undivided Republic"

THE ST. LOUIS CALAMITY.

The city of St. Louis was visited by a
terrific tornado on Wednesday afternoon,
in the meIciless path Of which followed
death and destruction. The most substan-
tial buildings crumhled like cardboard
before the devastating storm, and the busy
traffic of the river was swept from sight
in the twinklng of an eye. Hundreds of
lives have been lost, and millions of dollars
worth of property destroyed. The sym
pathies of the whole country 20 out to the
stricken people OF this Inflated city.

THE financial embarrassment to which
Johns Hopkins University is subject
through the depreciation of the B. & O..
stocks from which its income is derived
and the possibility of its losing the services
OF its President DIR, Gilman, are subjects of
deep regret to the people of the entire
State.
The loss of its income has been severe.
and the appeal to the generous liberality of
the aiiluent citizens of Baltimore, to aid in
bridging over its temporary embarrassment
should certainly not be in vain. Local
pride, if nothing else, should inspire the
rich men of Baltimore to come to the relief
of the University inits unexpected hour of
need
