NOMINATIONS FOR LEG
STATURE.

The Importance of nominating good
men for the Legislature cannot he too
strongly impressed upon both political
parties. 1t was the custom in former
days for the General Assembly of
Maryland to be composed of tue ablest
and best Representative citizens that
could be found. They were also, rs a
general thing, men of the highest in
tegrity, and conspicuous for their pub
lie spirit and patriotism. The Lcgis
lature is charged with important duties.
Upon the character of the laws enacted
depends in large measure the veal or
Woe of the State at large as well as of
the respective counties As lu!e
there is too much legislation. Every
body who goes to Annapolis, in the
shape of law-maker, thinks he must
do something, even if it is to repeal a
dog law which was gotten through by
hio liSNNSSSSoi. OlIcu NdluaUfe Ll1lle
is consumed by petty local measures,
50 that matters Of Importance are hur-
ried through during the closing days
OF the session and, as consequence,
litigation and endless worry sometimes
result from carclcss!y worled laws.
Each party should feel Il pride in
nominating good men for the LegisIa-
ture. Representative should be chosen
who are most likely to do something
for the welfare of their constituents.
Men of practical sense, who have also
had experience in business, generally
make the most useful members of the
House Of Delegates. The last General
Assembly was considered one of the
best i'll recent years, and an effort
should be made to have a still better
gathering at Annapolis next winter.
There will be no election of United
States Senator, so national politics
ought not to enter into the coming
contest
We hope this county will he repre-
sented by good and true men, who will
have at heart the best interests of the
people they represent.

Cablegrams from Manila state that
an allday battle between Americans
and PHILIPPINES ragged Tuesday on a
strip Of land along the shore OF Manila
bay extended from Cavite Niejo (old
Cavite) to Las Pinas, about seven
miles distant. The loss of General
Lawton's force is estimated at 60 kill
ed and wounded. The Filipino loss
could not be accurately computed.
The Fnllipinos also began firing can
non shots Oh the American garrison OF
Las Pinas, seren miles northeast of
Cavite Nicjo. They fired rifle volleys
at Bakoor, about midway between Ca
wife Niejo and Las Pinas.

TRESPASSING WITH TIL
OLD FLAG.

Mr.. George NJ. Hcnault, of Prince
Georges county, Maryland, writes to "The
Sun" that on May % last he bought large
American flag and displayed it on the iron
fence of the Smithsonian Park, in Wash
ington. Il did not put it there As an add
vertiSing medium" writes Mr.. Henault.
II displayed it because am an American
and love or flag. On June =. | was ar
rested and taken before Judge kimball,
of the Police Court, charged with tres
passing by displaying the American flag.
| was not fined, but had to give personal
bonds not to offend again. l contended
that there is no law in force that prevents
the emblem of our country being displayed
anywhere and everywhere in the United
States and all over the world on Govern
ment property. Please let ne know if it
is lawful for an American citizen, who
loves his country and his flag, to be ar
rested and taken to court for displaying
the most honored and beautiful flag of the
world" Our correspondent is informed
that the Government has the right to en-
force any regulations which it may see fit
in regard to its own property, and, while
his intentions were doubtless most com
mendable, he may have been technically
guilty of trespassing OH a Government res
ervation His offense was Il very trivial
one, however and might well haze been
condoned by the police justice. A govern
ment which is carrying its flag thousands
of miles across the Pacific and forcing it
upon an unwilling people ought not to be
too severe in its treatment Of 4 patriotic
citizen who hangs the flag upon a fence
around a national reservation The Fill
pinos have a much cleaner case of trespass
against the United States than this Gov
eminent has against Mr.. Henault.- Bari

DEWEY WILL NOT ACCEPT.

Admiral Dewey will no, accept the LONE
which the American people are preparing
to present him. This comes from the -Ad
miral himself He cabled friend in
Washington Monday that he must decline
to accept it, but that if a fund was raised
for that purpose he would take the money
and invest ii in Il home for sick and dis
abled sailors.
1t is understood that there will be an
effort to make the fund rs large as posi-
bic, and that tie committee will willingly
accedc to the Admjral's wishes and permit
him to buy and furnish Il home for sailors
There is no question that Washington will
be selected as the site for the home.
The total of the Dewey fund in the
hands of Treasurer Roberts Monday was
s. ,0,3 "a slow growth. There has not
vet been any action toward disseminating
the subscription, but it is felt that the peo-
pie of the country have been slow in re
spending. Practically all the subsrrip-
tions so far made have come from New
York, Philadelphia Washington, Cincin-
natl and Brookiyn.
The first subscription from Dtwey's

Members of the administration are
greatly exercised over the latest news
from the Cars Peace Conference at The
Hague, which says that Germany is OPP
posing the arbitration scheme, and that it
will probably get enough votes from the
smaller powers represented to defeat it.
There are others, however, who would
the arbitration scheme, because they re
gard it as much more likely to prove hurt
full than helpful to this country if adopted.

Writing in The Contemporary Re
view, Professor Sully discusses the curl
Gus aspects in which children regard
dolls. He says: Professor Hall has
brought to light some curious prefer
ences of children. He tells Us, for ex-
ample, that, whereas out of $40 children
191 preferred wax dolls, as many as IA
pronounced in favor of rag ones. odd
preferences are sometimes shown with
regard 30 size a lady writes me that
she preferred 4 inch halfpenny dolls
because there was so much more tc be
done with these in the way Of putting
on wigs made from doormats, linking
in eyebrows, etc. On the other hand
another English lady tells me that her
childish ambition was the possession Of
a big doll-'one that would fill my
arms and take some of the cuddline
that I wanted to bestow and which no
body seemed TO want " This girl image
is. so far as the uninitiated adult can
divine, the true child doll.

ConlfteIds of the World.

Biologists estimate the great coal
fields of the world in square miles as
follows; China, 200, O00 United States,
east of the Rockies, 1870, 600; Canada,
So, 900; India, IS, 500; New South
Wales, p, 900; Russia, 90 900, and the
United Kingdom, 1850. There are
many deposits in other countries, but
their extent is inconsiderable. Eng
lands coal area is small; still she
for years produced more than any other
country. Now the United States is
ahead. English coal veins are thin; one
only IA inches wide has been worked
1900 feet down. On the other hand,
there are veins in the Pennsylvania an
thracite region so feet thick and in
the bituminous regions is feet thick.
Our Appalachian coalields are the lar
gest known, and alone could supply the
whole world for centuries to come.
