GOOD MEN DEMANDED.

Several Democratic leaders in Baltimore
Tuesday expressed themselves as emphat-
ically indorsing the demand that good
nominations be made for the Legislature.
Among them were three avowed candi-
dates for the gubernatorial nomination
and one who has been prominently spoken
Of in that connection.
Col. John Walter Smith said he had
plainly expressed his views some time ago.
1T is of the highest Importance that eX-
islaturc by our party" he continued.
There are two reasons for this. Good
legislative nominations will help the gen
cral ticket to success This will be true
the State But beyond this consideration
is the fact that men of int gritty, Judgment
ability and experience are now needed in
our State halls of legislation. Important
matters will come before the next Legis
lature, and men should be sent there who
are fully competent to graphic with them
in businesslke and progressive manner.
maryland is a great State, and her pub
lie interests are immense. 1t is often diff
cult to induce the right sort of men to ac-
cept such nominations. think that now
is the time for such men to make personal
and business sacrifices for the public well
fare. Only a few days ago l was talking
with a number of prominent business men
and urged upon them the Importance of
making careful selections of their next
lawmakers Too much attention cannot
be paid to this matter by the party leaders

SLOW RECRUITING.

But little progress is reported from the
South in the effort to secure volunteers for
service in the Philippines. At Fort Me
Pherson, near Atlanta, Ga, where the
Twenty ninth Regiment is being organic
ed, up to Saturday but - out of over 400
ed. Carrying out this proportion, about
$4,000 men will have to apply before the
regiment is recruited The standard is
much higher than that applied to volun
teers in the war with Spain, proof of
which is given in the fact that Il large per-
centage of those rejected at Fort McPhcr-
son served in the late war The Govern
ment now requires that soldier must not
weigh less than two pounds for every
inch of his height, and it is this require
ment that is keeping the Georgia boys out
of the Twenty ninth Infantry. Thus a
man six feet six inches in height must
weigh not less than 1856 pounds; man
six feet in height must weigh not less than
IA pounds; a man five feet six inches i'll
height must weigh not less than 1872
rounds, and man five feet in height
must weigh at least 1e0 pounds. At New
Orleans the recruiting officer had succeed
ed up to Saturday in enlisting 10 men for
the Philippines. Six of these were white
men and four colored. This would seem
to indicate that the war fever is abating
in the South baltimore Sun.

CORN AND TOMATOES.

The American PdchtT. Baltimore, says:
There is strong hope expressed among
the growers and packers of Maryland,
particularly in Hartford county, that the
pack of tomatoes and corn this year will
be on a more extensive scale than ever,
despite the predictions to the contrary
earlier in the season. The same indications
prevail on the Delaware peninsula where
things seem to be looking up, dispclling
the blue feeling which had prevailed up
to within week ago. The unfavorable
weather conditions made the first crop of
tomatoes later than is usual, and caused
much speculation as to the probability
of the outcome. The crops, however,
are reported generally to be in a good
condition and should pan out well. From
few of the packers comes the word that
there is likely to be an oyerproduction of
tomatoes, but the more conservative ones
are adverse to expressing an opinion just
at this time. The rains in the past few
weeks have done the tomato vines much
good. \ number of the packers are
building their hopes on the late tomato
crop, and they think they will realize
handsomely if the frost holds off long
enough to allow the crop to be gathered"

-ALGER TO RETIRE.

The announcement of A gers pro
posed retirement from the Cabinet will
be hailed with delight throughout the
country. The will of the people is
supreme and should have been recog-
niZed sooner. His administration of
the office of Secretary of War has been
a miserable failure, and the President
has at last made step in the right
d rection. He has yet much to do to
regain the confidence of the people
which, in the words of another, 'he has
sacrificed by his adherence to the
counsels, inspired by the petty personal
jealousies, mcannesses and selfish am
bitions OF the bureaucrats Of the War
and Navy Departments"
Algerism is dark spot upon the
administration of Mr.. Mckinley, and
he may never be able to oLliterate it.
The complications in our new losses.
ons are problems requiring states
manship, not partisanship. The in
terests of the country, and not the
selfish ambition and greed of his fol.
bwers, are to be considered 10y the
President when he chooses Alger's
successor. If he acts up to the occa
sion, his countrymen will admire him;
if he halts in his duty he will retire
from his high position with the disap.
prevail, if not the contempt, Of a host
of would-be-friends and admirers.

WEEKLY CROP REPORT.

The following is the Weather Bureaus
weekly summary of crop conditions;
The absence of rain over Il large part of
the Gulf and South Atlantic States has
intensified the previously reported drought
conditions in that section, more partcu
larly over the interior portions of the Cen
trail and East Gulf States, Middle Tennes-
see and the Western portion of the Caro-
linas while excessive and continuous rains
over Central Wisconsin have proved I'M
favorable
Over large part of Texas, including
the greater part of the inundated region
of the BraZos basin, there has been an
almost total absence Of rain. The Brazos
bottom lands, however, are not dry enough
for cultivation. In the Central Valleys,
New England, Middle Atlantic States,
generally throughout the Central and
Southern Plateau regions and California
the weather conditions of the week have
been favorable for the growth of crops
and for general farming operations.
In the South Atlantic, Central and
Eastern Gulf States, including Central
Tennessee, Southern Missouri and por-
tions of Kentucky and Virginia, corn is
suffering from drought and has failed
rapidly during the week in Georgia and
the Carolinas, upland corn in North Caro-
lima being damaged beyond recovery. In
Texas a heavy crop is assured in the
Northern part of the State, and the late
planted in the Southern portion is better
than was expected.
In the Middle Atlantic States and gen
orally in the great corn States of the Cen
trail Valleys the week has been very favor
able to corn, which is now tasscing as far
north as South Michigan. The crop has
made excellent growth under most favor
able temperature conditions in all northern
districts fl ON the Missouri Valley east
ward to the Atlantic Coast.
Winter wheat harvest continues where
unfinished in the more northerly sections
to the east of the Rocky Mountains, rains
of the past week having delayed harvest
ing in portions of Wisconsin and Michigan;
harvesting has begun in Umatila county,
Oregon. The harvesting of spring wheat
has begun in Iowa, where it will begen-
eral in about 10 days. The reports re-
speeding spring wheat from the Dakotas
are generally favorable, and while most
of the crop in Minnesota continues prom

DANGERS TO uANAN!A'S
HEALTH.

The bltchers and milk men of Havana
have combined for fighting re ent orders
of the sanitary department, and have
raised fund for the payment of lawyers
to aid them in their contest. The bakers
have allied themselves with this comhina-
ton.
Major Davis says the milk in Havana is
good, but that the order prescribing clean
illness in stables and exercise for the cows
must be obcyed. 1t is reported that the
establishments of numbers of the butchers
and bakers are in a filthy condition and
that in some eases the bakers sleep naked
upon the same tables upon which they
work their bread. Orders have been is
sued that the butchers shall keep in refrig
orators the meat which they have on sale,
instead Of exposing it in the open air, as
has been their custom.
1t is believed that the danger of the
spread of CHAMBERS has been avcrted. it
being said that there is not now Il single

ONERTURES FROM AGCIN-
ALDO.

Important cablegrams have been re
ceived at the State Department from the
Philippine Commission and at the War
Department from General Otis concerning
anew move in the direction of peace.
These dispatches have been in the hands
of the President for sew raj days, but he
has declined to make them public, because
the optimistic views heretofore re
ccived from the same source have not been
borne out by subsequent events.
The latest dispatches are more encour-
aging than the previous ones, but the
President wishes to have some positive re
suits before making them public. All that
can be learned definitely about them is
that direct overtures for peace have been
made to General Otis by Agunaldo and
some of his principal leaders. A Cabinet
official said that if the promises are full
filled the volunteers now being enlisted
will not be needed.
