DEWEY FOR PRESIDENT.

The country was surprised on We'd
nesday 10y the announcement that Adj
miral Dewey had expressed the inten-
ton of being a candidate for the Plesi-
dency.
A dispatch from New York to the
Baltimore Sun says: 1.-The scheme to
nominate Admiral Dewey at the Kan
sas City convention was carefully
planned at a series of conferences held
principally in this city and in Wash
ing,on.
Senator Arthur p. German. ac-
knowied. ediy one of the most skillful
political managers of the Democratic
party, was asked to take charge of the
movement.
"Such conspicuous long time party
leaders as William c. Whitney, Daniel
S. Lamont, Richard Olncy, John r.
Mclean and Edward NJ. Shepard pal-
ticipatod actively at the conferences.
They canvassed the entire situation
Until they became convinced that the
movement could be sue ,essfully carried
out Admiral Dewey and all of his
friends discredited the reports that the
hero of Manila bay would run for Presi-
dent under any circunsta. S They
proposed to spring the plan suddenly
not long before the assembling of the
Democratic National Convention, and,
On the wave OF enthusiasm which
Deweys announcement was expected
to create, calculated on sweeping aside
all obstacles ard on making Dewey the
party candidate.
Admiral D>wcy's announcement
of his candidacy at this time was not
contemplated by the leaders in the
movement. They regarded April as
too early. That the announcement
should be made by Admiral Dewey
now is due to the persistent reports
from Washington that Mr.. and Mrs.
Dewey would go abroad. This latter
announcement, declared by the Adj
miTal to have been absolutely without
foundation, was regarded as an effort
to forestall and sidetrack the Dewey
boon. The exact wording of Admiral
Deweys statement was under discus
sion for several weeks. 1t was pre-
pared with the utmost care and draft
Of the statement was sent to the Adj
miral while he was on his recent visit
to st. Augustine, Fla"

Two joint resolutions Of public in
terest were adopted by the Legislature
One requires the Attorney General to
intervene and take appropriate action
to compel the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company to pay dividends
on the States stock in the Washington
branch. Private stockholders have
already instituted proceedings in the
United States courts to this end. This
resolution has been supplemented by
bill giving the Attorney General a sum
OF money to prosecute the suit and in
vestigation. The other Joint reso.u-
tion requires the Board of Public
Works tc take steps to prevent any
extension of the time for the bondhold-
ers to operate the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal and to insist upon a sale OF the
property under Judge Alvcy's decree.
1t has been ascertaincd that the cost
of this legislation is $4,000 less than

THE ADJOURNMENT OF THE
LEGISLATURE.

The session of the Legislature which
terminated last Monday night was in
some respects unusual. In each body
there were many most excellent men,
who w,ie actuatcd by the highest mo-
tives. Tie presiding officers compared
most favorably with any of their pre-
decossors. They were able, dignitied,
honest and fearless. And still, not
outstanding this, the work of the Leg
islature does not appear to have been
satisfactory. undoubtedly some good
laws, 10th general and local, were
enacted. On the other hand some of
the most mcritorious measures intro
duced were defeated. There was 4
hidden influence that shaped the t!est.-
ny Of many hll.
Taken altogether the work of the
session deserves more commentator
than coli !nation. Corporations, I'M
,rtunately. exercise undue influence
over ali legislative assemblies. But
that influence may not always be hos
tile to the public good. We admit
that in most instances it is. But the
Legislature took step in the right
direction when it passed the bill intro
duced by Senator Stephenson Williams
requiring the registration upon docket
to be kept by the Secretary of State OF
counsel and legislative agents who may
advocate or oppose legislation. A
similar law IN Massachusetts, has had a
good effect.

There were exactly ,4al bills introduced
in the General Assembly during the SEES
sion just closed. Of this number it is es-
timated that about 100, or one-haif, were
passed by both houses. The exact num-
Der introduced in the Senate was 49,.
while in the House of Delegates 934 were
introduced. About one half of the House
bills were passed and about one third of
the Senate bills. 1t is claimed that several
hundred more bills We're introduced and
acted upon during the Legislature of 1900
than during any previous session. The
Governor has already signed a number of
the bills passed, but there are still several
hundred that have not reached him. The
engrossing committees of both houses,
with an extra force of clerks, will be busy
fol the next few days enrolling and ex-
aiming these bills preparatory to sending
them to the Governor for his approval or
veto.

NO PLACE FOR POOR MEN

Tie War Department has been obliged
to sound a note of warning to restrain
overconfident Americans from tlockng
into Cuba without resources.
General Wood has made this matter
of special representation to Secretary
Root. He reports that there are quite
number of such Americans completely
stranded in Cuba whom he is unable to
relieve. His suggestion was that the War
Department authorize him to ship them
back to the United States on the army
transports, but SO far Secretary Root has
not been able to see how he can do this.
According to the advice received by the
department, Cuba is NO place for man
without money
With some capital there Is large opror-
tunity for returns, but otherwise even
willing working men and clerks cannot
secure employment and must soon come
to grief Secretary Root mentioned the
fate of some of the Americans who had
goneto Cuba as parts of alleged colonies"
as particularly hard, and if it shall APP
pear proper to extend relief at all it may
be he will authorize those who are now
suffering in these colonies to be brought
home in the transports.
The democrats of the House will antag-
onize the Naval Appropriation bill, as re-
ported, on three grounds-armor plate,
construction of ships in government yards
and the general extravaganza of the bill,
which carries SOL 900, 600 against $35 ,0O0,-
600 for the current fiscal year. The mi
noIity report favors the establishment of
government armor plate plant.
