GOOD AND BAD POLITICS

The President may find it good
politics" to go to st. Paul, Mimi, and
welcome the volunteers who will re-
turn from the Philippines within the
next few months. Whatever advar-
tage he may derive from meeting
them and lauding their heroism will
be of little avail, however, if he finds
it necessary to call for more volunteers
to reinforce General Otis. The val
liable lives that have been sacrificed
in subduing the Filipinos constitute
part of the record which the Presi-
dent must face next year, when he
goes before the country for re. election.
To send more young men to the Philip
pines to engage in a war of conquest
will involve still greater loss of life,
yet it is hardly possible that call for
volunteers can be avoided if the Ad-
ministration persists in its policy If
conquering the Filipinos. A Wash
ington dispatch in yesterdays SIM
states that General Otis has informed
the President that he cannot continue
operations in the Philippines without
an effective fighting. force of 10000
men. The President and Secretary
Alger have decided, it is further
stated, that Otis shall have additional
men, even if it is necessary to call for
volunteers. 1t is dreadful thing to
send our young men to the Philip
pines to perish from disease and an
enervating climate. Perhaps the
President may realize this later, al
though he seems to regard the matter
with remarkable complacency just
now.-Baltimore !Snr1, June 1.

to select their chief Executive for the
next four years. The Republicans
seem united on the denomination of

that harmony will be prevail among
all their factions. On the Democratic
side several strong names have been
brought out by their respective
friends. Among the list is Hon. Muir
ray Vandiver, of Havre de Grace. He
would make an excellent choice. His
executive ability is unquestioned as
this springs Mayorality campaign in
Baltimore plainly shows. He is popu-

the classes and his genial disposition

the State. Hartford will do herself

A CREDIT TO TIE STATE.

The Warden of the Maryland Prui-
Tertiary, Mr.. John F.. Weyler. is the
right ruan the right place, AMI the
effort said be making to displace
him in order to rev; ri a political
partisan, if it should ne successful,
will reflect no credit on those who
may bring it about. When Mr..
Weyler took charge of the penitentiar,
eleven years ago. it was All expense to
the State. By judicious management,
and without conflicting with any ex-
listing State industry, he has all Of the
prisoners at work and their labors,
last year, not only paid the entire eI-
penses of the prison, but provided
surplus of 500, 1901, which was paid
into the State Treasury, reducing, TO
that extent, the burden of tax ,tion.
In addition to making this large
sum for the State the convicts, under
IL judicious and kind arrangemeEt.are
permitted, after completing their
tasks, to do overwork, for which they
received, last year, 9,6791O. Some
of them earn from $12 to $50 month
and help to support their families.
There are now upwards of 300 pris-
oners under Warden Weyler's charge,
all of whom, except a few sick, are at
work. Mr.. Weyler holds that it is
better for mind and body to keep
prisoners employed. The convicts
are treated by him as fellow-creatures,
erring but capable OF reformation, and
his aim is to make them better, and
train them to lead. when released,
better and more useful lives.
In the results achieved by Warden
Weyler the State has right to feel
proud. Under his management the
Maryland Penitentiary has come to
be recognized as one of the best
managed prisons in the world. The
Grand Jury of Baltimore city, after
numerous visits to the institution,
recently expressed their opinion of
Mr.. Weyler, as follows:
Your committee express their I'M
qualified commentator of the ex-
cellent manner in which the Warden,
Mr.. John F. Weyler, performs the
arduous duties of his position. The
Maryland Penitentiary. under his
management, has become the best in
the United States, and this is due to
his energy, tact and wisdom, seconded
bv an able and efficient Bos I'd of
Directors"
In our judgment it would be great
mistake to displace Mr.. Weyler, in
view of the splendid results he has
given the State. His services would
not go begging, but the State of Mary
land can not afford to lose them.
The directors of the Penitentlary
are Messrs. Edwin Warfield, James
Lee, Lloyd L. jackson, Wilbur F.
jackson, Edward H. Fowler and John
Will ,on
