There begins To be strong doubt about
the possibility OF DR.. Tuck getting the ar
pOiBtment of collector of internal revenue
roi the Maryland district. His powerful
opponents are Secretary Gage, Senator Wei
hRston and Postmast er- General Gary.
Great AS may be- the fight put up for him
by Congressman Mudd IL does not eeIn
possible that he can override this opposi-
ton. In view of the possibility OF his
being turned down for this place DR.. Ticks
friends are preparing TO place him at the
head Of the legislative ticket ia his home
county, Anne Arundel, with tie intention
OF nsking him speaker of the house OF
delegates IL the Republicans should AIRY
that body. This program is said to have
been arranged at conf ereDce OF Master
ties, held in Baltimore. at which Congress
man Mudd and other anti ellington men
Were present.
There Is some thing of shrewd politics
behind this movement. No one better than
Al. Mpdd knows the posi- bilities growing
out Of the speakeIShip OF the house OF
delsga tss. Mr.. Mudd held it for one term
and { lifted bIm from comparative politi
cal cnlmportance to bis present place as
the strongest Candidate OF his party for
the United States Sena nat0rship. With DR..

Representatives Mcdonald and Booze. OF
the Sixth and Third Maryland districts,
respectively, Were In the city yesterday
for a short time. and both of them agree
that there Will be no trouble about the
election OF Malster a. mayor OF Baltimore.
Both are, however, somewhat concerned
about the legislature, upon which, more
than upon the city election depends the
future Of Republicanisn in Maryland. The
convention for the purpose of naming
men for the legislative ticket Will meet
in Baltimore today, and the action or
that convention W ill have an important
bearing upon the prospects of the party.
Discussing this phase OF the general stu
alton. Mr. Mcdonald said that il the Re.
publicans put up good Legislative tick et
they would carry the State by a very
large majority, and he named 10000 as
the probable figure. He admitted that
1T was this legislative ticket that was
causing the leaders uneasiness, and init
mated that there was fear that the right
men would not, in all cases, be named

Senator German ignored politics while
he was at Saratoga and devoted his time To

out the church. While it is safe to as
sumo that majority of Christians are
church members, it is safe TO assert that
majority of church members are not
Christians. This statement may fire the
neart of some enthusiastic churchman,
but it will be accepted as II statement of
fact by every true Christian within and
without the church.
AS for religion, we have it in intensity
and quantity sufficient for IL dozen
worlds. Man is by nature..b both religious
and depraved. This statement may be
combated, but the assaiant must fall be-
fore the facts. The world is flooded with
religions of all imaginable sorts, shades,
varieties and intensities, but too much of
it is that sort that makes the devil smile.
Christianity is stranger to the relg-
ion that is enshrined in the hearts of most
of lis. All the great minds that twenty
centuries have produced, whether church
men, laymen or wOrldmen, are u unit in
the belief that the code OF life left us ny
Jesus Christ is the purest, the best and
the most exalted that it is possible for
man to conceive. Aside from the fact
that it promises eternal reposc for the
soul in the life to come, it is the one and
only code that Offers to the life in the
flesh an infallible guide to such real com
forts and pleasures as the world affords.
We may imagine we are enjoying benefits
and pleasures while running counter to
the laws of Christ, but n rude awakening
sooner or later tells us of our mistake.
The world has religion to spare What
is needed is Christianity.

Observation-Disclosures.

TO the minds of many Christianity and
religion are synonymous. Such is not
true, however. Between them there is
often little i'll common. When Christ
came he found the earth fervent with re-
ligion, but the teachings he came to ncul-
cat" were unknown among even the very
devout and punctilious rcligionists. The
world was filled with religion and venal-
ity The teachings of the man Christ
were strange, unwelcome and offensive to
the adherents Of the religious practices
of the period. The opposition to the
teachings of Christ was not confined TO
the Jews. The Jews rejected the doc
Urine of the divinity of Christ. but thou
sands of that race have lived and thou
sands yet live according to the teachings
of Christ, while untold thousands of those
calling themselves Christians fail utterly
To observe His teachings The world and
too often the church, accepts rs II Chris
tian the man who offers his name for
cnrollment in some church membership.
Such Il performance, OF itself does little
towards making man Christian. Such
membership is too often used rs a cloak,
under cover Of which transactions totally
antagon istic to the teachings of Christ
are INDUCED in. The man who nm
derstands the teachings OF Christ and
who, believing them To he good code

King George of Greece seems to have

likely to he agreed upon by which the
great powers will name a governor of
Crete from Holland or Switzerland and or
ganize IL gendarmerie there by utilizing
the Greek troops and not using the Greek
flag Or Greek officers in that connection.
This proposition is likely to prove accept
able to the Greeks, and as England,
