would haul in so many of these very

not be adequate TO save the catch. But
successful travelling statesmen are so rare
that the demand is always in excess OF
the supply. However, the applicants are
n excess or the demand. But il has been
wisely assumed that the abilities of too
many applicants for places in the itinera-
or commerce are of an order of intelIi-
gence no higher than would be neces-
sary TO adorn a municipal executive. In
the twilight Of Maryland'sy history 1t

tons Of structure and art almost as tail
as the browning statue of Baltimore's
great monument to the father of our
country.
But a sentiment deeper and more sa-
red than that suggested by the triumphs
of commerce and trade has impelled us
to meet tonight. We bend low before
what, with its outward aspects, is the
most solemn dispensation OF God. This
