4 BATTLE MONUMENT.

The Antietam battle field commission
has granted permission for the erection of
Il monument at Burnside bridge, on the
battle field of Antietam 1t will be a
memorial of the soldiers of the Second
Maryland Regiment and the Sixth New
Hampshire Regiment, companion regi-
ments for more than three years in the civil
war, who fell at the battle of Antietam.
These regiments suffered heavy loss in
the charge on the Confederates at Burn
side bridge and the engagement which fol-
lowed. Permission for its erection was
secured through Gen. Ezra A. Carmen, of
the battle field commission. The Wash
lngton county commissioners on Tuesday
also granted the privilege for its erection.
Some time ago the Fifty First New York
and the Fifty-First Pennsylvania Reg-
ments erected an imposing granite shaft
in memory of the soldiers in these rcgi-
ments who fell at that place, on one of the
abutm entS of Burnside bridge These two
regiments were, likewise, companions of
the Second Maryland through the war.
Col. Ben amin F. Taylor, of Baltimore
county, formerly commanding the Second
Maryland Regiment, is at the head of the
movement, and plans will be procured at
once for the monument.
The Washington county Memorial Asso-
citation of Sharpsburg have urged Colonel
Taylor to use his influence with the Legis-
lature for an appropriation for monu-
ment to be erected on Antietam battle
field in memory of the Union soldiers of
Maryland who fell at that battle.
If the Legislature does not make an
appropriation for the monument the Sec
ond Maryland Regiment Association will

TIL l. PELAGIC SEALING BILL

The action Of the Treasury Department
in telegraphing instructions to the Gus
toms officials at San Francisco and at
Port Townsend to give public notice in
their districts of the passage of the bill
prohibiting pelagic sealing by the citizens
Of the United States in the Pacific ocean
north of the Both parallel of latitude, is
accepted in official circles as a clear indi.
cation that the President will affix his
signature to the measure and make it the
aw of the land.
The delay in action Oh this bill is due
simply to desire to accommodate Ameri-
can dealers in seal skins who had made
contracts for such articles before the pas
sage of the law, who, by the Presidents
consideration, will be enabled to receive
the conslgnments before the law goes in
to effect. As is well known, the bill
prohibits the importation of seal skins
into the United States, and provides for
the seizure and confiscation of all such
articles introduced into this country from
the date it becomes a law. The cOnsti-
tutional limit Of ten days allowed the
President to veto this bill will expire on
the Goth instant, and if it is not returned
to Congress within that period, it will be-
come law without his signature 1t is
understood to be the Presidents purpose
however, to sign the bill, but for the
reasons already stated it isnot likely he
will do so until the tenth day

\ FUTURE FOR SOUTHERN
VI MARYLAND.

The building of the new railroad
from Washington to the Chesapeake
Bay, which is rapidly progressing, and
the project to run telephone line from
Baltimore to Annapolis, and then to
Drum Point, in Calvert county, will
probably mark new era in the history
of this section of the State. Southern
MARYLAND has had great past, and in
the early history of the Commonwealth
furnished many great men. The open
ing mp of internal Improvements will
bring us in closer communion with the
rest of the world, and stimulate the
spirit of progress that has been mani
fest for several years.
We are glad to see that our Balti-
more contemporaries appreciate some
Of the blessings we enjoy down here in
the peninsula, and occasionally give
us complimentary notice. A few
days ago The american in an editorial
said:
The movement to bring new settlers
to this state ought to add to the popu-
lation of Southern Maryland. as 4
more salubrious climate, more fertile
soil and more hospitable people cannot
he found anywhere in the state. Land
in some sections is very chcap-too
cheap, in fact-but some of it is not
looked upon as very desirable, on ac-
count of the lack of facilities for reach
ing market in quick time. The men,
bers-elect to the legislature from ever
county in Southern Maryland should
have ever before their eyes the needs
Of their territory, and should give their
earnest support to all measures and all
projects looking to its advancement
OF course, they cannot ask nor expect
the state to make special appropria-
tons to build railroads for them, or to
till their farms or pay their taxes, but
they can give encouragement to others
who are willing to put capital into that
part Of Maryland, provided an assur-
ance is given that the local authorities
will be friendly, and not hostile Dur
ing the session, no doubt, many meas
ures of this sort will be brought Tor
ward, and the Southern Maryland leg
islators should study them well and
treat them fairly.
Some parts Of Southern Marvla,d
have in the last few years manifested
that same progressive spirit that has
become so characteristic of the West
ern Maryland counties. Others have
not. They have Jagged behind. and
instead Of becoming richer and more
prosperous seem to have been growing
poorer and less prosperous. They
should wake up. They should appre-
ciate the great opportunities that now
offer, and sholld push forward until
they have made their section as pro-
gressive and as prosperous as any
within the limits of MARYLAND.
