better to call it a steamer), on which

they represented the many courtesies of the
Government OF the Bahamas and in fact all

presence of Capt. Marin. the resident justice.

monument. The Chicago Herald was so
elated over this. that they published an illus

NOT FOR JOSEPH.

Mr.. Joseph Bailey, the gentleman from
Texas, and who by the accidental owner
ship Of "brains," is already recognized as
the leader of the minority in the Lower
House of Congress, is counting a reputa-
ton for eccentricity of genius, by refusing
to wear swalowt"il coat at social func-
tons at the National Capital.
Years ago, when a distinguished lawyer
of Maryland, found his right to enter a
ball room at Annapolis disputed because
he did not wear the conventional dress
coat, he drew sharp penknife, and with
it soon converted the tail of his frock coat
into q swallowtail!
We commend the same plan to Mr..
Bailey, if he wants to be thought ''pecu-
liar reminding him however, that man
may be notorious and yet not be distin-
guished, and that it takes deal of genius
to overcome the discredit of personal
slovenliness.

THERE seems to be considerable con-
fusion prevailing in the Republican mind
of Maryland just at this time, as to
whether Senator Wellington is a Republi-
can leader or Republican party boss.
p His recent "hold up" of the Mr.. Hen
ninghausen's appointment as Immigration
Commissioner is the occasion for audible
expressions of doubt as to Mr.. Wellington s
status in his party.
We refer to this however not so much
for purposes of criticism Of as for warning
to party leaders.
1t has been demonstrated over and over
again, that instead of strength, patronage
is weakness to party as well as to those
who dispense it.
The Democratic party in Maryland has
been split into fragments upon the rock Of
patronage, and it remains for the Repub
lican leaders of Maryland to demonstrate
their wisdom in avoiding similar disaster
thus early in the day Of its success in Mary
land.
