\ WORTHY APPROPRIATION

Senator Williams, of Anne Arundel
county, recently introduced bill in the
Senate to appropriate $1,000 annually to
St. Johns College, Annapolis, the same to
pay Sl35, each, toward the education of
tifty-two deserving young men, two from
each county and six from Baltimore City.
The appontee to pay the remainder of
cost over S13j
1t seems as though this is one of the
most worthy bills introduced during the
present session. Thele are many deserv-
ing young men who could thus be enabled
to secure the advantages of a course of
higher education if the State rendered this
assistance. And what would it amount to
in the tax levy? .0O0994 per cent, or less
than one one-tenthousandth of a cent per
800. (The taxable basis of the State be-
ing s1O4, ,a51 ,53,.)
By this almost infnitcsmial contribution
by the State it is hoped that .tfy-two de-
serving young men will be enabled to Sc
cure the advantage of a course of higher
education that, without such aid, they
could rot hope to secure. Surely this bill
should have the support of every member
of the Legislature who is earnestly look
ing for the advancement cf the State of
Maryland.

CONSERVATISM.

No party can afford to be radical in
dealing with the fundamental princi-
pies of government. Radicalism, in
fact, is generally held in dislavor.
Might never makes right in the social
and neral world Civilized man in
stinctively rebels against the tyrant.
The preservation of law and order
rests upon the exercise of justice and
equity. So soon as an administration
or political party goes leyond the
domain of justice it cxcitcs suspicion
and invites criticism.
The Democratic party, not many
years since, boasted ofits conservatism.
A conservative spirit was one Of the
bulwarks of its power. The Demo
cratic Conservative ticket" was put at
the Lead OF its ballots, and the opposite
party was known as "the radical Re-
publican party"
1t might be well for Democrats in
these days to recall some of the princi-
pies upon which their party was
founded

KRUGER FOR PEACE.

Dr.. W. j. Lcyds, European diplomatic
agent of the Transvaal, is quoted in Il
statement to the New York World as
follows:
Il never had any doubt as to President
krugers desire to settle all matters of
difference in an amicable manner. His
feyrent wish for arbitration, often eX-
pressed, shows clearly that he was ready
to accept an honorable, impartial solution
of ali the difficulties.
''It is perfectly sure that proposal of
Intervention to stop the war on such a
reconciliatory basis would, notwithstand-
ing the advantages gained by the repub-
lies, find him ready. He never wanted
and does not now want war. He wants
peace, but would not, and never will sac.
rifice the independence of the republic.
Much has been made in certain quar-
tiers of General Cronje's capitulation.
Cronje is one of our finest generals and
his loss will certainly be felt, but there
are others. Experience has shown what
generals like Joubert, Meyer, De Wet
Delarey and Botha can do. Most of them
are men who only during this war have
taken command of our forces. They
came forward at the spur of the moment
"Botha, formerly field cornet, is a
member of the Volksraad, as are most of
our other commanders. If they were
lost to US their places could be filled with
out experiencing any great difficulty.
The moral effects of CTonje's capitula-
ton cannot be very great if it is borne in
mind that our people are fighting with un
daunted determination for their rights
and liberty and that the more they are
pressed the more unanimous front they
will make.
II have read what is said of the Free
State troops. l cannot believe they will
take a different view of the situation.
They feel, as they did before, that their
existence as a free people will be ended if
the South African republics should sue
cumb. The obstacles on the way to
Bloemfontein are gradually more and
more numerous and serious If the Naal
river be ever crossed our people have the
formation of the country entirely in their
favor.
"As to European opinion, l think l
need not express my views. To my mind
it is sufficiently clear where the sympathy
of the nations lies and how far they would
make their influence felt on their resrec

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.


WASHINGToN. D. c.. March 9Th.
MIR. EDIToR:-Two violations of the
Constit ;tion in a single week is the record
of the republican majority in the House
Il record that should drive the republican
party from power. 1t does not mitigate
the offense against constitutional govern
ment that one of these violations should
have been an attempt to partially right the
wrong committed in the other. A right
full thing wrongly done is often as bad or
worse than a wrong. When the republi
can majority, driven by the party whip,
passed the bill levying a II per cent. duty
on the products of Porto Rico for period
of two years a grievous wrong was in
tlicted upon the Porto Ricans, and the
Constitution of the United States was vio
lated. Later, when the republicans be-
came alarmed at the vigorous protests
from all sections of the country against
the proposed robbery of the helpless Porto
Ricans, they again violated the Constitu-
tion by doing a thing right in principle in
the wrong way-passing bill placing
more than 81, 900 900, already in the Treas
ury, and all future collections under Ding
ley duties upon Porto Rican products at
the disposal of the President, to be ex-
pended under his discretion for the bene-
fit of Porto Rico. 1t is perfectly right
that every dollar of this money should be
spent for the benefit of Porto Rico, but,
D.,.1,
pointed out, it is everlastingly wrong to
turn over to the discretion of one man
money in the Treasury of the United
States when the Constitution express,
gives the right to dispose of money in the
Treasury to Congress and not to the Ex-
ecutive. But good may come out of evil.
These things serve to accentuate in the
minds of the people the attitude of the
two great political parties toward the Con-
stitution, to make plain that there is only
one Constitutional party and that is the
democratic party.
Junketng is catching. Secretary Root,

There seems to be trouble ahead for the
administration bill providing that the Ad-
jutaDt General of the Army shall have the
rank of Major-General. The Senate has
adopted resolution, offered by Senator
Pettigrew, directing The Secretary of War
court martial of Gen. Corbin, who was
then il Lieutenant Colonel, during the
Civil war, and copy of report made
about the same time by Col. Thomas J.
Morgan, relating to the first colored bri-
gade and Lieut.. Col. Corbin's relations
Herewith Corbin was court martialed
upon the charge of cowardice, one of the
specifications being that while under fire
he got off his horse and hid behind tree.
He was acquitted, but the record, as well
as the report of Col. Morgan, is said to
contain matter which will cause Senators
and Representatives to do some hard
thinking before they vote to make such Il
man a ajor General.

PROFESSOR MOORE ON THE
CANAL TREATY.

Since the publication cf the Hay
Paunceforte treaty, says the Baltimore
Herald, there has been much criticism
and great divergence of opinion, both
in the press and among public men,
concerning the proviso that the canal
shall not be fortified by the United
States. The Hon. John 3. Moore,
professor of international law of Colum-
bia College, and formerly Assistant
Secretary of State, who is probably the
ablest authority upon international
law in the United States, has recently
written an exhaustive revicw of the
negotiations.
Professor Moore does not attempt
to discuss, from military standpoint,
whether it is desirable or not to fortify
the canal. He devotes himself entire
ly to the qaestion as it is affected by
international treaties. He claims that
the policy of a neutralized canal is the
historic policy of the United States.
He declares that the Clay ton Bulwer
treaty has been repeatedly referred to
and acted upon by the United States
as subsisting engagement, and has
never, in fact, been declared to be at
an end. The Clay yton-Bulwer treaty
excluded either government from con-
structing or owning the canal, but per
mitted and required both governments
to protect it against all attacks. He
declares that if the Clayton Bulwer
treaty was abrogated the situation
would not be radically altered, since
the naturalization of the canal is guar
anteed 10y various other treaties. The
Hay-Paunceforte treaty does away
with all stipulations for joint interven-
tion, and comedies to the United States
alone the liberty to afford protection
against lawlessness and disorder
While alhering to the policy of neu-
tralization, it permits the United
States TO construct, own and manage
the canal
These views. coming from so compc-
tent a source, will undoubtedly exert
an influence, at least upon the general
popular view of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty. There is unmistakably g uni
versal sentiment in this country in ia
vor of building the canal. And, per-
haps, upon fuller comprehension Of
all the facts and circumstances which
will affect the great enterprise, it may
be found that Il strict neutrality, in the
time of war as we'll in time of peace.
may he our best attitude.

THE PENNSYLVANIA RAIL
Eo..D.

The annual report of the Pennsylvania
Railroad is always Il valu lble in t!ex ofthe
general industrial an trade conditions Of
the country, and this years report is par
ticularly interesting, with its record of
increased traffic in every de IA tine t. The
extent OF the great businss SIS that is sys-
temat zad under tn $ magnificent organi-
zation ca. be no more than suggested by a
few saicn: figures. There were 1G, j43,54
passengers carried during the year on all
the lines and 200 $50, 1lG tons of freight
The gross earnings were $l52 100, 106, and
the operating expenses SiGG, ,50G,9SS, the
revenues of an empire.
While the gross earnings increased ever
the previous year by sixteen millions, the
increase in the net earnings was but four
millions. In other words, while the traf-
tic of the road increased, the rates of
freight have diminished, the rate per ton
mile having fallen from 0GS6 cents in
1899 10 0473 in 1899, the lowest point it
has ever reached. While expenses have
also been diminished, the directors point
out that there is a near limit to possibility
of reducing the cost of movement, and it
is necessary therefore to arrest the reduc-
ton in revenue, which has been largely
caused by apparently uncomfortable con-
flcts. 1t is with this end in view that
they have acquired an interest in certain
seaboard railways, to aid in supporting
conservative policy.
The careful management of the property
of the company, the constant improve
ments paid for from the current earnings
and the large additions to the equipment
are of interest to the public as well as to
the shareholders. The eXtentions pro-
jected to meet the constant growth of rail
way business are equally significant. 1t
is interesting to note that on the lines east
of Pittsburg and Erie the increase of ton
mage during last year was some sixteen
million tons, an amount greater than the
whole tonnage moved over the same lines
So lately as 1873.
These figures and others that will be
found in the very clear and exact report
printed this morning. are very significant
of the active and difused prosperity of
the country in general, and particularly
of Pennsylvania, to which this great cor
poration has so constantly and materially
contributed Phiadelpiia Tins
