Mr.. McCloud's friends, are urging his
nomination by the republican con-
vention for representative from this

position, but the report in circulation
that his candidacy was brought about

the interest of Baker, will of course be
prejudical to Mr.. McCloud's interest.

MARYLAND's LATcH-sTRING.
1t Hangs Outside That All Who
Wish May Enter.

(Fr0m new 10TH ouHJ
Early in the month Of July c. W. Van
der Hoog, one of the officials of the Mary
land State bureau of immigration, started
for the West to make arrangements for sew
eral families who intended to move up to
Maryland in the fall and to deliver three
lectures in the suburbs of Chicago, Kala-
mazoo, and Detroit Mich, on The Pros
poets of the Dutch in Maryland" BY the
Federal census of 1890 there were. exactly
122 natives of Holland in the whole State
of MARYLAND, of whom 73 were residents of
the city of Baltimore, and it may seem,
therefore, as if the opportunities for immi-
grafton into Maryland of present subjects
of Queen Wilhelmina were almost upIim-
tied. The policy of the Maryland State
government as to Hollanders, however. is
not exceptional, for there has been main
tanned in that State for number of years
an immigration commission In Baltimore
for the purpose of supplying all necessary
information to intending sfsettlers in the
State as to the saiubritY. fertility, and ex-
cellence as place Of residence of Maryland.
The duties of the superintendent of this
commission included OFFICIAL visits at least
once year to Europe ito. selicit immigra-
tion to that State, and he remained abroad
at least four months on eacbi trip, and vis-
tied different countries in sthe performance
Of his duties. The immigration board is
empowered to make centrarts with rail-
roads and steamship liBss for the trans
portation Of immigrants On Their arrival in
Baltimore, and to providetnecessary ar
rangements for their reception in that city.

there were 100,0 900 foreign born inhabitants
OF Maryland, Of whom 10000 were resi-
dents of the city of Baltimore, which has
greatly increased in population since 1896
OF these. $4,000 were natives of Germany,
10000 of Ireland and Scotland, 5000 of
England. and 5000 of Russia. The expla-
nation OF the efforts made in Maryland to
secure foreign population is to be found
in the fact that outside of the city of Bal
timore, and especially. in the counties max
ing up what is known as the Eastern Shore,
there is practically little increase in popu-
lation. 1t has remained almost stationary
for a number of years and the farming
interests of Maryland have suffered in con-
sequence, while the neighboring States Of
Virginia and West Virginia have been in
creasing in material prosperity through the
development of their mining and forest re-
sources. Maryland farmers are obliged to
compete with these of Pennsylvania and
Virginia without any great advantages in
the facilities OF transportation. the rates
of labor for farm work the benefits of
newly-cultivated soil or any specialization
OF product. Maryland produces corn. to-
bacco, hay, wheat, and fruits, especially
peaches, but has no staple in agriculture
which gives it ,aay special advantage. The
Chesapeake Bay fisheries, while an impor-
tant element in, the commerce of the State.
are benefit only to such counties as are
on the bay, and the canning interests of
Baltimore, while extensive and increasing.
are practically local to that city, many of
the materials canned and shipped coming
from other States 1t is under these cir
cumstances that many Maryland farmers
believe that the. development of their land
and OF other land adjacent to theirs, can
be best promoted by the entrance of immi-
grants into the State either from foreign
countries or from other States, and as Off
cial matters generally in Maryland are con-
Quoted on a thoroughly methodical basis,
the establishment of commission of i'm
migration, with =. travelling representatives
in Europe and in the West, seems to fur
nish means of attaining this result. Near
" one-quarter of the area of Maryland is
water, the State resembling in this par
ticular western Holland.

(From the London spectator.)


From the London Spectator.)
Before we leave Mr. Morley's speech we
desire to deal with one more point, When
your children ask you, ne says. what the
war is about and why you are killing men,
what is your. answer going to be? Is it
to be the franchise, or paramountcy, or
the price of dynamite, or what? We do
not think that there need be much difficult
ty as to the answer. If war comes we
shall be fighting to make the Beers yield
a share in the Government to the majority
of the inhabitants. of a country to whose
inhabitants, without restriction, We en-
trusted seh-government under republican
forms, and because their refusal to eman-
cipate the .Outlanders and to establish a
just and reasonable form of government
throws all South Africa into confusion,
and renders it impossible for Dutch and
English to live together in peace and ami
ty. That Is an answer which no English
man need be afraid to give when he is
asked what the war is about. He may
give it with as good a conscience as the
New Englander gave his answer when he
was asked why he was soaking the fields
and forests aofjaVirginia with the blood
of Americas best sons. Fuse the South
African Dutch, says Mr.. Morley, but do
not say to one race. You are to be at
the Top anu InesOPffeF Sudls De at the DOT
TOM We asknfor no better policy. We
do not want the least trace of dominance
for one race. but fusion, and fusion on fair
terms. But what is it that stops fusion
and who is he who has said to one race,
You shall be at the top, and the other
at the bottom?" The greatest enemies of
fusion, the great fnspfrers of race hatred,
are the Transvaa1 Government. 1t is
President Kruger who has said for the
last fifteen years that one race shall be at
the top and one at the bottom. Unless
that evil spirit of predominance is laid
there can be nothing but ruin in store for
South Africa. 1t Is not the British Govern
ment who want to exalt one race over the
other and to prevent fusion. but the reck-
less. fanatical, and, ,shert-sighted men who
rule at Pretoria At present the Trans

NEW YORK, Sept 19.-The rally in the
stock market. which made its appearance
in the final dealings of yesterday, made
further progress at the opening OF ousi-
ness this morning when advances were
common. After the opening, however,
the market showed that the liquidation OF
weak speculative accounts had not been
fully completed. and, on selling Of this
character the market sold of quite rapidly

BANKS WILL ISSUE NOTES.
They Propose to Aid In Relieving

The officials of the Treasury Department
are preparing to receive number of appli-

out additional currency for. the purpose of

asking for $202, 900 in bank currency and
depositing- the necessary amount Of bonds
for the purpose. The Comptroller declined
TO give the name of the bank making the
application. 1t happened that this bank
had previously ordered printed at the Bu-
reau Of Engraving and Printing a quantity
OF notes to be kept in stock sandsthe appli-
cation could therefore be>acted ON immedi-
ately. The notes were shipped today. In
the case OF some of the banks, notes have
not been ordered kept in stock and the
Treasury Department can therefore not
supply them instantly. About twenty-five
days are required to prepare the plates,
print the notes and forward them y their

spare. They are privileged Hundsr the law
to issue notes up TO 80 per cent of their
deposits of Government bonds in the Treas

These have been called for on account of
the movement of crops in the West, where
there is still great scarcity of notes for

denominations. One of the banks last
