The legislature OF Maryland has appro-
priated n sum of money for the resurvey
OF Mason and Dixon's line and the restor-
alton OF the old boundstones and land
marks.
The original running Of Mason and Dix
on's line was done according 20 the terms
OF the final agreement between the CAL
verts and Penns. concluded In 1890 after
protracted negotiations. There was a con-
filct in the grants of Maryland and Penn
syivanla. The Penns had friends at court,
and Calvert was finally coeroed into con-
eeding everything Penn demanded, and
this concession cost him the richest por-
ton OF his domain. The line between
Maryland and Pennsylvania was begun In
lT60 by a commission appointed for that
purpose. The preprietors of the two coll
onies became impatient at their slow prog
ress. and agreed TO engage Charles Mason
ard James Dixon TO complete the work
Both Penn and Calvert were In London
at the time. and they there engaged these

The fusion convention has made NOM

places on the ticket. and in doing IL has
recorded a wholesale rout for the Pop

party with its tender associations Of
the past and openly announced his al
legiance with the Democracy. The par
amount issue TO be settled by the Popu-
lists in this campaign will be to de-
termine where they come in.
The denomination Of Gov. Rogers was
brought about in spite OF the fact that
a majority of both OF the influential
organizations OF the combine were OPP
posed TO him. The Populists had dis
tinctly repudiated him. and from
the first II was evident that a
majority OF the Democrats pre-
ferred one who had been longer
attached TO the old faith. Curl
ously these preferences seem to have
been overcome and n candidate who
was beaten few days ago now comes
out triumphant. As to how the change
was wrought or what influences were
brought to bear. that IL story that
will probably be told later during the
campaign. when the Popuiists realize
how utterly they have been undone and
the discussion turns to the work OF
bosses and the demoralizing effect of

be said to have been unexpected. and
altogether II has been the most inter-
esting political fight since Turner was
elected to the senate by the legislature
