Plans TO start Religious Daily
Paper in Baltimore.


Paper ip baltimore.
BALTIMORE. Nd. March 26.-Rev, ].
NJ. Holmes pastor Of Almutt Memorial
Methodist Protestant Church. Chester and
Lombard Streets. is working on a plan to
start a new daily paper in Baltimore on
the lines Of the Topeka Capital as il y as
conducted for one week by Rev Charles
NJ sheldon. Last night. in a sermon on
Can We have a pure daily paper in Balti-
more2" Mr.. Holmes outlined his plans
for such a publication
He announced that he had drawn up
blank form for subscription. which would
be sent 20 every Clergyman in Maryland
and TO others interested In having Chris
tian newspaper published asking for sub
scribers. As soon as 10000 names are OBJ
tanned they will be turned over to seven
Christian business men Of Baltimore. who
will form a publication company and start
the Christian Citizen The paper, Mr..
Holmes said. viii not accept advertise
ments from saloons. breweries. theatres
or other similar business enterprises. and
viii exclude from its column everything Of
a cOrrupting nature IL will be non-politi-
cal. It's profits will be devoted 10 the sup
port of a number Of charitable Institutions
in the city and State. As a preface 10 the
above announcement Mr. Holmes said.
"A Christian should aim at purity in
everything. II is the duty Of the citizen
TO make the Government and the press
pure. Some may think that such thought
is a wild dream-a castle in the air ] am
never afraid of dream, for after a while
the dream may become great fact. Some
might think that a great aud pure paper
is a dream. Il is just now. but we may
get it after a while. ! believe it Is posi-
ble~to have in Baltimore a perfectly pure
newspaper.
1T is a simple matter for the citizens or
Maryland TO have a perfectly pure daily
paper. We know that our Baltimore pa
pers are excellent as newsgatherers, and
we have no fault to find with them on that
account: but We do protest against the
printing Of things which are injurious TO
public morals.
Another objection I have to the Bali-
more papers is that they give too much
space 10 the brutality Of prize fighting and
horse racing. column after column of stuff
which makes heroes of people who are en-
gagged in business that Is not encouraging
morality. Another objection l have is the
Sunday paper Christian has no bust
ness TO have a Sunday paper in his hand"

Individual Hot corporatIon.

A statute enacted In 1895 by the
Maine Legislature provides that mo
corporation organized hereunder shall
have authority without special act Of
the Legislature TO construct its lines
along the route or routes used or a,i-
thorized to he used by any other tele-
graph or telephone company, person or
Arm, or between points connected or
authorized TO be connected by the lines
of any such company, person or firm,
unless II shall first obtain the consent
Of such other company, person or firm"
Notwithstanding this statute, Mr.. Maui
rice w. Crosby has established and
operates telephone line along the
route of the Readfield Telegraph and
Telephone Company without its con-
sent. In suit by the company for an
injunction against him on the ground
that he is violating the provision whicn
we have quoted, the Supreme Court OF
Maine holds that the prohibition ap-
plies only to corporations and does not
forbid an individual from putting up
competing telegraph or telephone lines
The statute says mo corporation" II
does not say mo corporation or indivl-
dual" Under this construction OF the
law. any person who can obtain the
right OF way, and probably any part
nership, can erect competing lines
without let or hinderance from existing
organizations.-New York Sun.
