Dun's Trade Reuie,U is authority
for the statement that business fail
ures in this country during the Sec
ond quarter of 1899 just closed were
the smallest reported in that quarter
for twenty five years. 1t was also
stated that the average per failure,
81, 165, was the smallest ever known
in any quarter; that the average per
firm in business and the ratio of de-
faulted liabilities to solvent exchanges
were both the smallest ever known
in any quarter. We recommend the
examination of this report and the
careful study of it to Mr.. Bryan and
Mr.. o. Ell. P. Belmont and to all of
their Free-Trade followers who pre-
tend to think the country is laboring
under heavy burdens. Such study
would probably not have much en-
effect on any of those gen
tlemen. They are not men who are to
be disturbed by such things as facts;
but it may perhaps give the country
rest for brief period from their vap-
oring and give the people an oppor-
tunity to reflect upon the present
marvellous prosperity of the country
and the swiftuess with which that
prosperity has followed upon tho
heels of the Protective Tariff.

HOBSON NOT REV ARDED.

OF the eight men who went in with the
Merrimac to close the channel at Santiago
Lieutenant Hobson is the only one has
received no reward All the enlisted men
were advanced before they were surrcn-
dered by General Toral. Secretary Long
attributes the failure to recognize Hob
son to Congress, and holds that the Navy
Department and the President are not re-
soonsible in any way.
The Secretary states that papers adj
vancing Hobson ten numbers in the con-
struction corps were prepared last sum-
mer and were about to be signed when
his uncle, Congressman Richard Pearson,
of North Carolina interviewed and asked
that action be postponed, as it was pre-
posed to pass bill for Hobson's transfer
to the line. Bills were introduced in both
Houses, but sleep now in the naval COM
mittees without apparently any effort hav-
ing been made to revive them and bring
the measure before Congress for action
Unless HobsOn takes an advance of num-
Der in his corps it is scarcely possible he
will receive any acknowledgment for his
heroic deed

PERIL HAS PASSED

A cable from Manila says: Major
General Otis has broken the back of the
Instruction. One more general advance
and the Tagalos will be scattered to the
winds
The General in command has sent
troops to Cebu, in furtherance Of the
broad plan of occupying the Visayas Is
lands, detacking them from Aguinaldo' S
cause and localizing the as much as posi-
bic to the Island of Luzon.

The resignation Of the Sagasta cabi
net in Spain had the effect to direct
the attention of the State Department
officials to the probable result of this
action on the pending peace treaty
The general opinion is that Sagasta's
move does not necessarily involve the
failure of this convention, arranged
after SO much trouble on both sides
1t is believed that the succeeding cabi-
net will find means to forward the
treaty to the point Of ratification, and
thai the opposition to the government
will express Itself as content with the
manifestation of disapproval of what
has been involved in forcing the cabi-
net to resign.

Nobody knows, says the Philadelphia
Times" bow much money has been
and will be appropriated by the expir-
ing Congress, but it is already known
that it breaks all previous records and
will leave the famous Bllion-dollar
Congress far behind. War expenses
are only small part of the general ex-
pansion. 1t is supposed that the ma
ton is not watching the accounts very
closely just now and the opportunity
has been improved to put through a
variety of schemes that have been wait
ing for years; Willie the grab for public
buildings and other localimprovements
passes all precedent.
The interesting feature ofthis is that
it is done in the face of an existing de-
felt that would be largely increased in
the coming year even with economy
and for which hundred and fifty mil
lions is moderate estimate. The other
day it was gravely stated in London
dispatch that serious trouble was in
store for the British Ministry in the
fact that the budget was likely to show
deficit of million pounds, that
might even be million and half
say from five to seven million dollars
a state Of things that Parliament
would not pass unrebuked 1t must
make an American Congressman smile
to think of such carefulness for the
public credit as that.

New England States, visit the Middle
States, where the farming population are
in many cases cramped for room, and i'll
other cases have only worn out lands to
work. Visit the great Northwest where
the farmer has to put up with such ever
occurring billiards and drouths and mae
feasibility to markets Go among these
people. tell them of the fertile soil, the
usual salubrious climate, the numerous
railroads and great accessibility to the
leading markets Of America, YES Of the
world. Pick out good law abiding, free
American citizens. bring them among us,
let them work our lands and become citi-
zens of Maryland.
Do not make money a necessity. DO not
require these men to buy land or stay
away. Let this Bureau seek sections all
over Maryland for homes for these people
where they can settle, and where some
NAV work as tenants, some as farm hands
and others possibly might buy their own
lands.
Let these people come and adopt our
customs and live with us and among us,
and not in colonies and among themselves
only. Grant them the privilege of adopt
ing their own churches, schools, stores,
etc, and make them good citizens instead
of 'leeches" on the community. Many of
the foremost and leading men of our State
have come in this way. Look around this
neighborhood, look around our county,
look at the very ones who are interested
in and making this institute a success.
We see on every hand these who have
come among us and made Maryland their
adopted home They take leading parts
in our Grange Organizations, Farmers
Clubs, Commissioners Courts, Public
School Boards, local industries of all
kinds, Agricultural Colleges and Expert
ment Stations, and we native Marylanders
greet all such good citizens with our right
hand and welcome heart and ask for
more, many more of such, but deliver us
from the imported variety, such as it
seems our State Bureau wishes to bring to
Maryland.
In ending 1 wish to make one statement,
which is done with becoming modesty but
to more earnestly emphasize my interest
and to show why this subject is so near
and perhaps so dear to me.
1 am the absolute owner of 1900
acres of land, and personally inter
ested in the management of 1000 acres
more; this is, however, only my pecuniary
and worldly interests, others are greater
with me.
Maryland, yes Prince Georges county,
has always been my home, my forefathers,
both paternal and maternal, have known
no other home since the very earliest set
Element of this commonwealth. l expect
and hope to pass my remaining years here
and to always aid and assist in that which
will be of benefit to the prosperity of the
State of Maryland

HONORING SCHLEN.

Maryland honored Admiral Schley
in notable manner on Tuesday night.
\ grand banquet was given him at the
Hotel Rennert, Baltimore. when a
beautiful medal of honor was pinned on
his breast. The enthusiasm which was
manifested for him ought to serve as a
rebuke to the Navy Department for its
attempt to rob him of his just honors.
The Admiral's arrival in Baltimore
was cheered by thousands who lined
the streets. -Four hundred representa-
tive men OF the State attended the ban
quet. The responses to the toasts were
unusually eloquent. The Admiral's
speech was strong and patriotic. He
said:
''On the occasion of this ceremony
in honoring me with this decoration of
Your confidence | feel that any words
| might employ would fail to convey
to You the sense of high appreciation
which moves me at this moment. This
IS the second time in my experience of
forty-two years in the service of my
country that my State has decorated
me Tor services to my nation, the first
having been after my return from the
Arctic regions in the fall of 1874, when
the Lady Franklin bay expedition was
rescued by the expedition l had the
honor to command. On that occasion
1t took the form of vote of thanks of
the Legislature of Maryland and the
gift of a gold chronometer watch of
rare beauty and value.
The priceless decoration on this oc-
caslon for my part in the battle of July
3rd, OFT Santiago, comes to me bearing
the love OF the people of this glorious
and grand old State of Maryland, so
r.ch in historic attachment and connec-
ton with the Empire of Liberty. 1t
brings to me so much that will always
list to remind me Of an event in my
lite and service that will live in the
history of our State and country.
The Victoria Cross of England and
the Iron Cross of Germany are more
sought by the officers and men of the
service of those countries than any
other distinction; they are conferred by
the sovereigns on all whose martial
deeds enhance the nations grandeur.
and they are found alike on the breast
OF the general and of the worthy private,
ON the breast of the admiral and OF the
humblest sailor, for deeds that are con-
splcuous in the nations service.
1.-The medal you have bestowed on
me means all that these mean, and in
addition it bears the love of the people
In whose name it is given, and this
a Ids a value that enhances any reward
that could come for SERVICES in their
interest.
Il thank your Excellcncy and my
dear friends of my dear old Mary iaI,
for this great distinction conferred to-
night in their name | shall keep it
always with infinite pleasure and pride. :"

TROOPS LEAVE CUBA.

The United States transport Mime
waska left Santiago Tuesday for New York
having on board the Twenty third Kanass
Volunteers. The Roumania left yester-
day with the Eighth Illinois Regiment.
These troops, like the the Ninth Immunes
have of late had no special duty to per-
form. The Third Immunes, now at
Guantamo, are under orders to be mus
tered out and will withdraw about March
Is, leaving only three white volunteer
regiments and one regiment of regulars
for duty in the province. At least one
more regiment is needed by the depart
ment, preferably cavalry, as during the
rainy season il is difficult to move infan-
try.
1t was recently reported to General
Wood, on reliable authority, that promi
net Cuban, holding high position in this
province under the military government,
had openly stated that if the Americans
did not "gct out by july" Cuba would
declare war The General attaches no
Importance to talk of this character.

THE RIGHT MAN IN THE
RIGHT PLACE.

General Otis is perhaps the best man in
the American army for the particular stu
alton that has to be faced at the present
time in the Philippines. He understands
how to deal with men as we'll as he under
stands the art of warfare. Under his gen.
eral authority, with the loyal CO operation
of the other able officers associated with
him, the hardy Western volunteers who
make up the greater part of our army in
the Philippines have been so trained and
disciplined that they are very possibly the
most efficient soldiers at the present mo-
ment that can be found anywhere in the
world General Otis long experience in
the West had made him thoroughly ac
quainted with every element of the popu-
lation. He knows how to deal with cow
boys and he has had his fill of Indian
fighting. His experience with Indians
serves him in excellent stead in fighting
the Filipinos, whose methods arc in some
respects not unlike our own aborigines.
General Otis is undoubted the most con
spicdous figure that the activities of the
American army in the past year have
brought into prominence. He is man of
untiring energy, of sterling character, of
and studious tastes, and of very
superior intellectual endowments. The
American army may well be proud of him,
and the country may feel some such con-
fdence in him as it feels in Admiral
Dewey. His position has not been en-
barrassed by any attempt to hamper him
with instructions from Washington. He
will be thoroughly justified, from every
point of view, in continuing energetic
measures until the instruction is entirely
uppressed.-From 1.-The Progress of the

SONG BIRDS AND STORMS.

The effect of approaching storms upon
song birds is the subject of an interesting
contribution by c. f. Linney to the United
States Monthly Weather Review. 1t az
pears that during the night of August 10
1G very severe electrical, wind and rain
storms prevailed over the northern dis
trict of Illinois An observer in Henry
county, W. W. Warner, noticed that for
forty eight hours before the storm not Il
sound was heard from the numerous song
birds in the district. This observation
was so fall of interest that Mr.. Linney
wrote for additional information, with the
result that he received numerous letters,
some confirming it; others stating that
birds sing louder and more persistently
before great storm, and nearly all agree
in" that they are more restless than usual
at such time.
Mr.. Linney has found the following
weather proverbs referring to song birds
and storms: When birds cease to sing,
rain and thunder will probably occur
If birds in general pick their feathers,
wash themselves, and fly to their nests ex-
pect rain. Parrots and canaries dress
their feathers and are wakeful the evening
before a storm. If the peacock cries when
he goes to roost, and, indeed, much at any
time, it is sign of rain. Long and loud
singing of robins in the morning denotes
rain. Robins will perch on the topmost
branches of trees and whistle when a
storm is approaching. The restlessness Of
domestic animals and barnyard fowls be-
fore an approaching storm is well known,
and many of their pecularities have been
noted; but the actions of song birds do
not appear to have previously received
particular Neutrality-suspicious..

The Dog ana the Law.

Once it Is established that the nature
OF the species is gentle and that every
dog is a hw-abiding and peaceable
Bruno, then it becomes necessary, be-
fore liability for the vulgar transgres-
sions Of fierce Towser can be fasten-
ed on the owner, that he should have
previous knowledge Of the unusual and
not-to-be-expected feature.
This is called scienter. and until an
owner has this knowledge OF his dogs
viciousness he is not responsible,
though in the error Of its ways not act
ing as becomes a gentleman Of the dog
species, or lady, as the case may be.
To he more accurate and exact, once a
dog had departed from the narrow
path of rectitude and demeaned itself
in ways other than should obtain with
a strictly proper and gentle animal.
and the owner knows of 1t, then it
loses status and caste, and must be put
down as a vicious animal, and the
owner keeps it at his peril. Lord Cole
ridge, 1t seems, was anxious to reduce
the law on the subject to a ntcety in
the way of succinctness and brevity,
and he succeeded by saying that
EVERY dog is entitled to one bite and
the case has special reference to Spring
lamb or veal. The expression is varied
by making it every dog is entitled to
one worry"
