MIR. MIDD'S AMBITION.

The Baltimore .lmc,ican says: Mr..
Mudd is preparing to put up a stiff fight
for reelection. He is anxious to be-
come the Maryland representative on the
Republican Congressional Committee. the
position which has heretofore n,cu held
bv Representative Baker who is again Il
candidate. The member of the Congress-
ional Committee for any state is reg.1IHd
by the Congressional Committee us the
manager of the campaign in the state
so far as the Congressional Committee is
concerned. All requests for financial aid
and all rcquis tinr> for campaign litera-
ture are laid before him before action is
t ken hv the committee. 1t Is evident.
therefore. that if Mr.. Mudd can persuade
his c. l'rnrlle> to elect him as the Mary
Ian mc.l.t..r of the committee he will
have scored 81 decided advantage in his
campaign 1t is not apparent, however,
that Mr.. Mudd has vet won the votes of
ali the members of the delegation. 1t is
believed that Mr. Mcdonald has promis-
eL Mr.. Mudd his support, and it is assert
ed that Senator elect McComas would be
glad to see Mr. Mudd elected but it can
not be stated that he is using his senate
rial power in his friends behalf Senator
Wellington has declined to take any
part in the contest. and tells both sides
that it is Il matter which concerns the
dele gation in the House alone. Up to the
present time Mr.. Baker seems to have a
majority of the votes Of the delegation.
The contest will not be permitted to be-
come bitter. Every member of the dele
CATION recognized only too plainly that
the present outlook for the return of all
the members is not so favorable that the
party can afford to waste any of its
siren 9TH in fractional Quarrels.

AFTER MIR. HOMER.

Last week Mr. Charles c. Homer, prcSi
dent of the Baltimore Clearing House As
ISOLATION, was invited by the Democrat,
Committee of ?6 to appear before them and
explain why he believed in sound money
Monday night at the weekly meeting OF
the committee in a parlor of the Carrolltol
Hotel Il communication was read, i'll which
Mr. Homer declined to discuss his views
with the free silver men. Then the com
mittcc determined to send another letter
to Mr.. Homer. Here is that letter as
finally drafted:
I'VE regret that you are disinclincd to
accept the invitation and we take rs 4
confession of weakness the fact that YOU
are unwilling to meet us and discuss this
all important question.
I'VE have examined the report of the
commission and we charge that the propo-
sitons contained therein are unpatriotic
and I'M American, for it is asserted virtu-
ally that the credit of banking corpora
tions is better, safer and more stable than
the credit of the United States government.
I'VE charge that your proposition to re-
tire and destroy the non-intcrcst bearing
legal-tendcr money of the United States
and substitute therefor several hundred
millions of dollars of interest bearing
bonds as a perpetual government debt to
be used as a basis for the issue of bank
notes, and these notes to be loaned out at
an interest of from 6 to 10 per cent per
annum is unsound finance and would be
condemned by any sane business man if
applied to his own affairs.
I'VE contend this Plan to be solely in
the interest of the banking and bond-hold-
ing classes, the establishing of bond-hold-
ing aristocracy, with the special privilege
of issuing money on the credit of the gov
ernment and unjustly wringing interest
from the people.
I'VE charge that your whole scheme is
only refined method OF eNacting tribute
from an already ovcrburdened and tax
ridden people without warrant in equity
or good morals.
I'VE charge that your proposition to
give absolute control of the issue and vol
ume of all paper money to the banks and
to destroy all government paper money is
dangerous to the business interests of the
country, tending to concentration of UNI
limited power in the hands of the associ-
atcd banks. a power to initiate or contract
the money volume, to raise or lower the
prices of commodities at the instance Of
the speculative cliques of Wall and Lom-
bard streets.
Money is the life blood of commerce.
Civilization cannot exist without it. Its
issue is dstinctively governmental func-
ton and delegate the right to corporations.
I'VE charge that the contamination of
this purpose would be destructive to the
liberties of our countrymen, and to this
we strenuously object.
I'VE are earnest in this belief, but If
what we charge be rot true, being open to
conviction, we again extend to you an in
yitation to come before this committee and
prove the contrary. We will gladly re-
ceivc you, or we will have one of our mem
bers, if you prefer, meet you in public dis
cussion 1T any place you may name

CCBA'S SADPLIGHT.

Hon Chas w. Russell, assistant United
States attorney in the Department of JUS
ticc, has received letter, acknowledge
the receipt of draft for sos, from United
States Consul Barker at Sagua la Grande,
Cuba, whose district of Las Villas en-
braces Santa Clara the capital of the
province of that name, San Domingo,
Remedies and another city in the same
province in the eastern part of the island.
In explanation of his estimate of the
number of deaths from starvation up to
the time of his recent visit, viz, 100000.
Mr.. Russell says that he got that number
from the common talk in Cuba. For in
stance, he asked Cuban what the insur-
gents said about accepting the offer of au-
tonomy, and the answer was that Spain had
put 100000 corpses between her and them,
referring evidently to the reconcentrados.
In his letter, Consul Barker says:
up to date my district has received
nothing of the relief sent by our people,
except through your thoughtful remem-
brance. OF course Consul Lee
has not, nor will he ever, in my humble
Judgment have sufficient contributions
sent to Havana to share with US. In view
of this, contributions like yours, in money,
will aid in saving thousands, who must
die without sustenancc and medicine i'm
mediately furnished. For instance, this
remittance from the generous employees in
your department will prove more beneficial
than ten times the sum thirty days hence.
Il have certificates signed by the al
caldes of the principal cities and towns in
Sagua la Grande zone alone, showing that
my estimate of $4,000 perishing souls was
under rather than above the mark. To
nv mind and to all Christian people there
is but one issue in this Cuban question,
viz, destitution and starvation. The stat
US quo is as when you lcft-savc the dcsti-
tuition grows and the death rate increases
hourly"
Mr.. Russell says that any contributions
of money may safely be sent to United
States Consul Walter B. Barker, at Sagua
la Grande, Cuba. Food supplies can be
purchase d there.

TOBACCO INSPECTIONS.

Senator Clagett has introduced Il bill
to reform the tobacco warehouses. Its
most important provisions are rs fol
lows:
There is to be one inspector at a sal
airy of s. 800 year, who shall have
charge of all the warehouses. He is
to have one chief clerk at salary of
81 200 and Il deputy Inspector for each
warehouse. There is to be central
office. where the inspector will transact
his business and where he will receive
daily reports from the different ware
houses The number of screwmen for
all the warehouses is limited to thirty.
The entire business of the warehouses
is to be conducted rs single business,
and laborcrs and officials can be trans
ferred from one to the other. Under
the present separate system there is
frequently idle labor at one warehouse,
while extra force is being employed at
another.
Nj. Clagett,,s-bitl will effect saving
of So 900 on regular salaried offices, and
he estimates that the saving on extra
employees will amount to about SO 900
a year. The bill. il enacted, will also
avoid the unseemly contest between
the warehouses to secure tobacco Tor
inspection, the more hogshcads going
to warehouse the greater being the
patronage.
This bill will be generally commend
ed. and if it becomes law will pre-
vent many Of the abuses which have
grown up under the present system.
1t is regarded in Annapolis as one of
the most important reform measures
before the Legislature. Our people
should use every endeavor to have the
bill passed.

THE MOVEMENT FOR GOOD
ROADS.

The movement which has been i'll
au@urated throughout the State in the
interest of good roads seems to be
taking definite shape with the promise
ofsome practical results \ committee
of thirty-one was appointed at Il repre-
sentative meeting of citizens of Howard
county recently to consider what can
be done to secure State aid in the i'm
provement of the Public Highways
throughout the State.
The following circular letter has been
issued:
This committee, appointed to con-
slider what legislation is necessary, and
how to accomplish it, for the building
of good roads in Howard and other
counties of the State. decides that
State aid is absolutely required to
cheaply build the roads Of the counties,
and for this reason the matter is not
one involving the interest of one coun-
ty alone, but the entire State.
1--WE deem it best to obtain an eN-
preston of opinion from the whole peo-
pie of our State. and to this end we cN-
tend an invitation and urgently call
upon the people of each county, and
Baltimore city. to hold meetings in
their several communities to name five
persons to be sent to a convention
which will meet at Annapolis February
oath. 1898. This convention will de-
eide what State aid and legislation is
necessary to make good and perfect
system of macadamized roads for
Maryland, and will have drafted for
this purpose suitable bills and present
the same to our legislature
We trust that representation of
able and earnest men will be sent to the
convention from this county. and that
our people may reap all the benefits
likely to accrue from this undertaking.

We publish this weeh on our first

Townshcnd. 1t is interesting palEcu-
larlv from the fact that it touches upo,
matters of local history. We do not
pretend to vouch for the statements
therein contained; on the contrary the
distinguished author has been severely
criticised by our co-temporarlcs III
Charles, st. Mary and Calvert coun
ties for unjust reflections upon Tho
character OF former residents Of thos'
counties. Gath" WAS evidently aim

There is something beautiful i'll the
loyalty and attachment Of Senator
Germans friends. They cling to him
in defeat as well as III victory. The
unanimity of the vote recently cast at
Annapolis showed that his followers are
animated by sincere admiration for his
ability and personal worth, The I'M
warranted attacks OF his ASSISTANTS
seem to draw his friends nearer and
closer to him. and among his warmest
admirers now are some who once an
tagonized him. His long and eminent
public career has proved that he
possesses the elements oftruc greatness,
and future generations will honor him
as one of Maryland's most useful and
distinguished men
