There are some inconvenience about being a
creditor nation. The United States have dis
tributed some heavy loans in Great Britain Ger
many, and Russia and now we are informed by
cable that the Shah OF Persa believes we can be
induced to back him financially in his operations
against Russia. Is it possible that in losing his
reputation for tight -istedness, Uncle sam is to
be regarded as easy mark for all the unfor-
tnnate bofraMers OF EUROPE and Asia?

rapidly gaining the reputation throughout
the country of being the shrewdest poll

even excepting Mr.. Hanna. General Cor

organs in Chicago, and talked in very
frank manner about the issues of the
campaign. He declared that this talk of
militarism and Imperialism made him
tired" Then this question vas put 10

Was that a war for liberty. too?" Cen

They made that war-the same class of
men who are now bowling about imperial

aggression-of forcible expansion But the
incentive for it did not come from the
army. The man who talks about our

At 4:54 a. m. came one of the turning
points of the battle when a magazine in
the northern end of the south fort blew
up, and this checked the Chinese fire FOR
time. but soon they showed themselves
more determined than ever and between
5 and o'clock it certainly looked as if
the attack had failed. Some of the leavy
casemated guns on the north bastion of
the south fort were slded so far round as
to send their blast up the reach. At this
time also a greater proportion of the
Chinese shells exploded. But at 6:1S E.

eye was turned upon the appalling sight
Then, after few moments of comparative
silence. broken only by the echoes of the
explosion and the former gun reports a
glorious cheer rose from the gunboats,

ing parties, the destroyer crews and the
merchant steamers. all united in one
victorious shout which must have struck

ANNAPOLIS, March 21st, 1900.
Mr.. EDIToR:-You will obllge me by
allowing the use of small space i'll the
next issue of your paper for the purpose
of explaining my position on bill intro
duced by myself few days ago. The OBJ
iect of said bill is to regulate the qualitica-
ton of voters in the town elections of
Upper Marlboro. Heretofore persons
who practically had no interest in the
management of town affairs and who did
not actually reside within the corporate
limits of said town are under the present
law allowed to participate in the munich
pal elections The bill introduced re-
stricts the right to vote in the town cleo
tions to that class of citizens who own
800 worth of real property situate and
lying within the corporate limits, and who
shall have actually resided within said
corporate limits for the short space of one
year. So far as my knowledge goes i'll
reference to the qualification of voters in
town elections, they should at least reside
within the corporate limits of such town.
If such were not the case, any male per-
son, 81 years of age, residing anywhere
in the county in which said town is To-
ca ted, could vote at the municipal election
of such town, which would practically do
away with home rule and make the whole
affair ridiculous in the extreme. AS a
member of the Legislature, l am here to
4 Al. L.
pie of the State and no particular clique
or sect, in order to accomplish political
ends, or satisfy personal animosity. l
hereby give notice that l am willing to
accord all parties at interest hearing on
this matter either in person or in writing
any time during this week.

Analysis Of Fertilizers.

Referring to the bill to revolutionize the
in tue analysis of fertilizers, which has
been introduced in the House by Mr..
Walbach, Dr. Mcdonnell, the State
Chemist, says:
The change is not desired by the great
majority of farmers and certainly by
none who have made critical examina-
ton of the working of the present law.
The change has been asked by a few
farmers who have, been influenced by the
misstatements of few INSCRIPTIONS
fertilizer agents, and who must resort to
such aspersions in order to excuse the
poor showing of their fertilizers, as shown
by analysis. They are anxious to have
the law so amended that they can make
arrangements with some farmers to fur
nish a sample lot with the understanding
that it is to be sampled and analysed. Of
course, it would be very easy matter in
that case, for the manufacturer to salt
the sample let in order to get a high
analysis to be used for advertising pur-
poses, thus turning upon the farmers the
very guns which were planted for their
defense. Under the present law the
analyses are published for the informa-
ton of all who may be interested and
the guaranteed analyses are published in
parallel columns. At the best the pro-
posed change would make the analysis of
use only to the party sending the sample
pretty costly assistance
The work is now SO very extensive
that the State Chemist does not make the
analysis personally, except in cases where
error is claimed or suspected. The analy-
sis is made by four assistants, each of
whom has his part to perform. The
samples, when sent to the laboratory,
have no mark other than a number. The
complete record is kept in suitable books
in the office. These books and records
may be inspected at any time there bein g
no secrets or hidden mixtures about them,
such as the Performers propose to intro
duce. 1t is surprising that some one does
not try and devise law that will enable
judges and juries to try cases without
the names of the parties interested. The
records of the case would make pretty
mess. Then, to cap the climax, give the
key to the tumble to some lavman who
is one of the parties Interested

Washington and Potomac K. IL.

The bill introduced at the beginning of
the session by Mr.. King, of St. Mary's
county, to give the Washington and Poto-
mac Railroad Company an extension OF
two years in which to complete its rail
road runping from Point Lookout to
Washington was practically killed in the
House Tuesday by being referred to the
Charles, ST. Mary's and Prince Georges
county delegations.
The bill was favorably reported by the
Corporations Committee, Chairman Knott
stating that the committee, in sheer des-
pera.ion, reported the bill to get rid of it,
and though the House should settle the
matter. Mr.. Garner, of ST. Mary's county
moved that the bill be recommitted to the
three county delegations affected by it.
He claimed that it was purely local
measure and that but one member of the
Southern Maryland delegation was in
favor of the bill. The road, he claimed,
had secured from the State $4,000,
which it was now impossible to recover,
and all except i've miles had been solo
for taxes.
Mr.. Robinson spoke in favor of the bill
and argued that the State should have a
chance to gel the 100000 back by allow
ing the road to be completed. Mr.. Wal
bach, of Charles county, opposed the bill
and favo, ed recommittal.
Mr.. King said he introduced the bill and
as a member from Southern Maryland, he
thought it his duty to make an effort to
see that Southern Maryland had railroad,
even if the chances were SO out of 100
against it. He asked that the bill be not
sent to the delegations, as he believed it
would never be heard of afterward
The standing vote resulted in a tie, but
on yea and nay vote the bill was recon-
mitted by vote of Al to 50.
