TO REPEAL MARYLAND MIS-
CEGFNATION LAWS.


A Maryland state senator has several
bills which he will introduce in the leg
islature and which are of much import
ance to Maryland. These bills are
nothing less than to legalize the inter
marriage of whites and negroes. There
are on the statute books of the state
two laws against these marriages, laws
that have come down from colonial
times, having been enacted in Ills, They
are as follows:
If any minister, pastor or other per-
son who, according to the laws OF this
state, do usually join people in mar
riage, shall under any pretense join in
marriage any negro with any white
person, he shall on conviction be fined
500.
All marriages between a white person
and a negro and a white person and
person of negro descent. to the third
generation. inclusive. are forever pro-
hibited and shall be void, and any per-
son violating the provisions of this sec
ton shall be deemed guilty of an infa-
nous crime and punished by imprison-
ment in the penitentiary not less than
eighteen months nor more than ten
years.
These are to be repealed, at least bills
for their repeal are to be introduced.
Will they pass? If such bills can be-
come law in Maryland a great revolu-
ton of sentiment will have been
wrought in that state. Prejudice there
against the negro has always been al
most as intense as in the far southern
states, but the hostility to marriages
between whites and blacks has been al
most if not quite as strong in the north
as in the south. To the average white
person the idea is one of the most re-
pulsive possible. Such marriages are in
no sense desirable from the standpoint
of public policy. The mingling of the
white and the black blood does not ele-
vate the black man while it degrades
the white man.
Most of the states have or have had
laws against miscegenation, but it may
be doubted whether such laws are not
in violation of the fourteenth amend
ment to the constitution. But whether
or not they are, they have been deemed
wise and were certainly in accord with
the best white sentiment of the country.
Now, however, the country must count
with its black sentiment as we'll as its
white. Is it possible that Maryland is
doing this? At all events, the PROPOSE
ton to repeal the laws against misceg-
enation is evidence that a change of SEN
timent has taken place in the state, no
matter whether it is sufficient to bring
about their repeal.

REPUBLICANISM DEFINED
ANEW.

Our Republican friends had quite an
interesting time at ogden Monday
night. The pithiest remark made by
any of the speakers was made by Hon.
John f. Booth. II was this: "A Re
publican is an anti Democrat-that ex-
presses it all" And it expresses it very
well. a Republican is one who opposes
a Democrat; a Democrat is one who
favors the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to !; therefore
a Republican is one who opposes the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of Is to !. OF this there is no
doubt in the world. And yet at that
same meeting ex-senator Brown de-
clared that the conservative men must
bring about the restoration of silver.
men who win adjust the currency and
at the same time protect the debtor
class in this great western country. No
other party can do this except the Re-
publican party" But the conservative
men" the Republicans. are opposed to
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
except with the consent Of the leading

A SUGGESTION TO FARMERS.

DR.. Martin P. Scott, of the Maryland
agricultural college, has been making
some interesting and valuable studies
of the habits of insectivorous birds and
their services to the farmer and fruit
grower. Among the birds that, in his
opinion, could be enlisted in mans ser
vice in destroying grain and fruit pests
are the crows, blackbirds. jays, orioles,
larks, sparrows. tanagers, swallows,
warblers, thrushes, wrens, robins, fly
catchers and others. DR.. Scott would
have every inducement offered these to
build their nests and remain in the or
chards and battle the fruit tree killers.
He says:
The woodpecker tribe deserves special
notice in this connection. They are
climbers, and they range in size from
the logcock of the forest, almost as
large as a crow, to the flicker, red
headed, the speckled, with a tuft of red
feathers on his head, to the varieties
called sap-Suckers. The sap-suckers are
so called because it was believed that
they pecked into the tree and sucked
the sap. They were killed as enemies,
when, in fact, they search for larvae
and external parasites, upon which they
feed.
Sap-suckers are among the best
friends of forest and fruit trees. They
are close hunters and interchangeable in
their work. The work of the red-headed
woodpecker is familiar to every farmer.
The flicker is a ground feeder as well
as q tree hunter. The tiny wren also
deserves notice as an insect feeder. and
he is great friend to the beeman, al
ways on the alert for the bee moth A
few boxes or old fruit cans or gourds or
brush piles, as secure nesting places,
will attract many of these birds and in
duce them to remain where their SER
vices are required.
My suggestion is that farmers shall
find out by little close observation
the birds which are special feeders up
on larvae upon the bark of trees. and
introduce them into their orchards, with
the idea that when. in their search
they find the scale insects-DarticularIy
the ravaging San Jose scale-they will
prey upon them. 1t &c a striking fact
that with the destruction of our birds
came the invasion of our enemies.
have but little faith in bird laws, be-
iieving that the farmers alone, by or
ganization and combination, can pro-
tect the birds.
This is a subject that interests the
farmers and fruit-growers of Utah as
much as those of Maryland. Whether
the agricultural college at Logan has
issued any bulletins on this subject, we
do not know, but the college could not
only become a powerful agent for good
in this direction, but it is the proper
place for the study of all such aues-
tons, while its authority would be
needed by those directly interested in
the best way TO destroy the insect
pests.

MAYOR CLARK's LATEST NOM
NATION.

Mayor Clark has nominated for chief
Of the fire department James Devine
the present chief The mayor seems to
have a very strong penchant for Nc
Kinley Republicans. having nominated
them to the two most important posi-
tons in the city, when it would be i'm
possible to elect in this city a Mckinley
Republican, running as such. In all
the municipal campaigns. until the last,
Mr.. Devine has been an intensely ac-
tive partisan; that ne was not in the
last one may be owing to the fact that
he was very actively though quietly en-
gagged in pushing his candidacy for the
United States marshalship. That is
nothing against him as a Republican,
but why should be be rewarded with a
city office by a non-partisan mayor?
The Democratic council is not asked
to confirm a non-partisan, but a rank
partisan, one who was a staunch sup
porter of Mckinley. 1t is asking too
much OF the council. Are there no non
partisans or Silver Republicans fitted
for the position of chief Of the fire de-
partment? Mr. Devine being a strong
supporter of President Mckinley and
having sought official favors of the
gold standard administration should
not receive the endorsement of the
Democratic council. which was elected
on a free silver platform.
