Great Britain on the west or Mediter
ranean sida, and while all these MOWERS
admit that Turkey should be vanauish-
ed, the question arises, Who Is To have
the spoils: Again, Turkey is largely
indebted to bankers and money-lenders
In many Of the European states. and
these men want to know who are to be
paymasters If the cruel government is
disbanded. And so the Turk. hidin be-
hind the Turkish bondholders and NAV

lions, deals as he p,eases with the Gre
tans and Armenians.
Under pressure from the great mowers
the insurgents in Crete submitted to the
sultan's government again in 1869: the
sreek Patriarch, in pastoral, urged the

ports were reOpened. From this time
the island has been governed by a pasha.

The island is divided into five provinces.

terminating in bluffs, while to the north
the mountains gradually slope to low

curious caves and grottoes in the noun

grottoes, made more intricate by the art
OF Daedalus under the direction of Mi

is greatly neglected; olives. raisins. figs
almonds and other fruits that require
little cultivation are in abundance. but
special attention is paid to silk-raising.

Science and Agriculture.

More and more is Agriculture
looking to Science as the source of
its salvation. 1t is largely because
Agriculture has not kept pace with
the other arts in scientific develop
ment, that it finds itself at such
disadvantage today. There have
been. it is true. great advances
made; crops are planted with much
greater degree of certainty and are
brought to maturity and converted
into cash with u much less expendi-
ture OF human Drawn than ever be-
fore, bat compared with the ad-
yances resulting from the adoption
OF scientific methods ia the me.

St. Mary's Politics.

The st. Mary's County Republic
can ticket is practically named. 1t
has not yet been ratified at the
primaries, but that performance
will be merely perfunctory. The
different Clubs, one after another.
have spoken and all understand
who are to be on the ticket. We
have no means of knowing how
many voters are enrolled in these
organizations but they are enough
to control. And they have been
skillfully managed. A "fine TIA
Italian hand" is discernable in
their manipulation and all is over
except election. The ticket as
agreed upon is as follows: Senate,
W. Wilkinson; House, John S.
Jones, Lewis f. Tennison; Clerk,
Enoch b. Abel; Register, Leo NJ.
Wathen; Sheriff, j. Benz. Love;
Commissioner, Dominic S. Bowles.
The Surveyorship is thus far left
open and all who choose to enter
for it may do so without fear of be-
ing handicapped. The position,
however, does not pay for taking
out the commission and the man
who obtains it will have to take his
pay out in GLORY"
On the Democratic side of the
house things are in a chaotic con-
dition. With but few excegtions
there are no avowed candidates for
nominations and indications are
that We have really arrived at that
ideal condition of the place seeking
the man, not the man the place.
Candidates may spring up during
March Court when the 'unterrified'
have had an opportunity for con-
sultation, but at present, with re-
markably few exceptions, they are
conspicuous for their nonappear-
ance. AS Democrats we are pleased
that this is so. We wish to see the |
party select its candidates without
the preliminary of fractional prl-
mary fight and We want the ticket |
so named that it will be apparent |
to all that it is the party's ticket, |
nominated in the interest of the
party and owing its nomination
solely and entirely to the fitness
and qualifications Of the candidates
to acceptably fill the positions for
which they are named aud to their
strength before the people. The
st. Mary's Democracy is neither
dead nor sleeping. With harmony
Of action md strong ticket our
enemies will find that there is Wig
orOus and active life in the old par
~ vet.

The MARYLAND Republiean Boss

The Maryland Republican Boss,
Hon. George l.. Wellington, has
scored signal triumph in having
Mr.. James A. Gary selected as q
member of President McKinley's
cabinet. Dir. Gary's selection, we
think, is very gratifying to st.
Mary's Republicans. One thing 10
made certain by the choice and,
that is that Senator Wilkinson will
have a warm friend at Court.

OF our deceased friend but little can
be said. having lived quiet and seclud-

an honest heart with disposition ever
ready TO assuage. as far as laid in his
power, the sufTerings of his feilow-man.
Nothing seemed to give him more pleas
ure than to lend helping hand To the
needy and distressed, and his humble
