Mr.. EpIToR:-U pom You, the owner OF
one of the leading papers in the county,
dcvolvcs Il duty at once honorable and re-
numcrativc. as well as Imperative In the
light Of the Grand Jury's report as to
county affairs, the county officers stand
accused with fragrant disregard of the
law and the Cardinal preccrts of honest
dealing.
Your paper that creates, molds and
makes effective public opinion, so that
the general welfare is secured and con-
served, has been true to the county's in
terest in the past: and the present and the
future, with crucial cNaction, require of
you no common obligation or trivial per-
formancc.
\ paper of the people considers them
its buIwark, and every politician or num-
Der of politicians must appeal to their in
tcrest before they Will receive that papers
advocacy or defense.
The Grand Jury finds that the Clerk of
the Circuit Court has failed to keep those
books demanded by the smallest kind of
business; no account of itemized cash re-
ceipt, nor any account by which an auditor
may learn, or even he himself see of whom
money was received or to who paid. His
books show absolutely nothing 1t charges
the Clerk with ineXcusable carelessness
and to:;l disregard of the common and
Of
Certain OF the County Commissioners
have bought up claims against the county
and presented those claims to themselves
for payment. Not only is this forbidden
by law, but is Il transaction that would
justly excite suspicion in business affairs.
Their last annual statement garbled as it
was, made no mention of the money col
lected from licenses, and the Grand Jury
finds that they disobeycd the law in APP
propriating that fund to other uses than
those prescribed. Men who occupy public
offices are presumed to acqUaint them
selves with the law appertaining thereto,
but with the law at hand they have violated
it. Careless or corrupt; criminally negli-
gent to learn their duty or openly defiant
of law and honor they are arraigned at
the tribunal of the people. At that bar
all respectable citizens must appear to
press the Indictment, drawn by a hand
that never crrs. Not in silence but with
the mighty voice of outraged conscience
the cry must go abroad. The citizens

TOBACCO CULTURE
SOUTHERN MARYLAND.

The fact that the indications point
to higher and more active market for
Mary land tobacco is very encouraging
10 planters in this section of the State
The crop last year, which was at one
time most promising, suffered severe
injury from the hail storm in August,
and. in consequence, the proportion of
fine tobacco will he comparatively
small in the crop which will come upon
the market in a few weeks.
The tobacco industry in Southern
Mary land is one of vast Importance to
our people. 1t is the crop with fur
nishcs most Of the cash that comes to
the lower counties, and, when cult
waited and managed with skill and
Judgment, becomes profitable. Some
years ago the trade was greatly injured
10y imperfect and unsatisfactory in
spections, made under the auspices of
the State; but the law has been modi-
fled in Difference to the wishes of the
buyers so often that an increased de-
mand, now springing up, will compcn.
safe for all the concessions that have
been made by the people interested in
tobacco culture The warehouse bill
passed by the Legislature of 1898 was
4 great advance towards establishing
the trade upon firm basis. Maryland
tobacco is held in high esteem in for
eign countries, especially in France
and Germany, and there is always a
market for the better grades OF our
product. 1t has often occurred to the
writer as strange, that in Il field so in
viting, as the culture of fine Maryland
tobacco, more interest has not been
manifested by persons of large capital.
This State enjoys, practically, a
monopoly in the production of a GER
tain quality of tobacco, and, We believe,
that large plantation operated upon
a scientific and practical basis, with
modern al p.iances and abundant re-
sources, could he made as rcnumerative
as such enterprises iii Florida or any
where else 1t is undeniable that a
large part Of our tobacco is cultivated
AMI managed in crude and negligent
manner. 1t is, furthermore, a precari-
Gus crop-largely dependent upon the
character of the season. Just as in
horticulture and arbor-culture. the con-
tingcncirs of the weather and natural
difficulties are largely countcractcd by
the skill and invention of man. so n
the culture OF tobacco, we believe, that
many Oh the conditions, which affect
the growth and curing of the crop,
could be controlled by foresight and by
means to provide proper appliances.
Our farmers are too limited in capital
to take advantage Of their experience,
and often suffer loss from inability to
protect their crops. 1t would be in
teresting to note the result of high cul-
ture of tobacco in this country upon a
basis such as we have Indicated
Strange is it; that an enterprise so
promising in satisfactory results has
not been appreciated.

DEMOCRATS CAUCUS.

The Democratic members of the
Senate held conference Wednesday
to consider the question Of party policy
on the various questions before Con-
gress. They have found themselves
following somewhat divergent paths
on some of these questions, and con-
cluded that their party interests de-
manded that they should have bet
ter understanding among themselves.
No definite conclusion was reached.
but when the conference adjourned
there was a general understanding of
the lines to be pursued.
The question OF tie policy to be
pursued toward the Philippine Archi-
pelago attracted more attention than
any other. On this point there was a
very general exchange of views, the
consensus Of opinion evidently favor
ing the policy outlined in Senator Ba-
cons resolution of protecting life and
property in the islands until quiet was
restored, when the United States shall
provide the opportunity and prescribe
the method for the formation of a gov
crnment 10y and of the people Of the
Philippine Islands to be independently
exercised ald controlled hv them
selves.
There was also more or less discus
son of the bills providing a form OF
government for the Hawaiian Islands
and for Puerto Rico. The prcpondcr-
ancc of opinion concerning these bills
was favorable to absolute free trade
between the United States and these
islands as part Of this country
With reference to the financial bill
it was practically decided to offer a
substitute providing for the free coin
age Of silver Senators Lindsay and
Gallery were present. and while they
indicated their intention not to be
bound by any decision upon this line,
they recognized the futility Of any eff
fort to prevent its being pursued
The conference adjourned with the
understanding that another meeting
will be held soon.

That President Mckinley is prepal in

That President Mckinley is prepm ing
Costa Rica with 4 view to constructing
the Nicaragua Canal is an open secret
Secretary Hay denies without quailira-
ton the report that Great Britain has
taken any notice of the disposition by Con-
gress to push canal legislation. The state
ment that Lord Paunccfotc, the British
Ambassador, had called on Secretary Hay
to demonstrate against the bills rs in viola
ton of the CIayton-Bulwer treaty is en-
tirely without foundation. The Admins
tration is not worried by the srowl from
the London press declaring that the pas
sage of the canal bills and an attempt to
carry out its provisions would be regarded
by Great Britain as al unfrcndly act and
a violation Of the Clayton -Bulwer treaty.
Such talk as this has no effect, either at
the White House or at the Capitol. Lead
ers in Congress seem to have made up their
minds to pass the bill without regard to
what may be said about it, although they
do not look for any complaint by Great
Britain or by Germany.
One of the most conspicuous members
of the Foreign Relations Committee says
blunty: II don't believe that Great Brit
ain will make any protest against the pas
sage of the canal bills. We are going to
pass them
There has never before been such una
E e
corning the construction of the canal.
The Administration is thoroughly COM
mitted to the work, and stands ready to
do its part as soon as Congress shows Il
disposition to confer authority for action.
The President urged the last Congress to
pass canal bill, and he was prepared
then to open negotiations with the Central
American Governments concerned. Con-
gress evaded the question by authorizing
another investigation and creating a com
mission. which would waste a year or
more in agreeing to a rcrutl. The Prcsi
dent, therefore, has not felt justified in
taking any steps toward acquisition Of
concessions from Nicaragua and Costa
Rica. Now that both branches of Con-
gress show a disposition to ignore the
commission authorized in the last session.
the administration is losing no time in
preparing to act promptly as soon as the
bills become law.
Senator Morgan and Representative
Hepburn, who have charge of the canal
measures in their respective branches Of
Congress. are confident of early action and
are not inclined to treat the talk of Brit sh
opposition seriously. In fact it is not at
all certain that indications of British dis
pleasure may not be helpful toward prompt
consideration.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore
Sun from Washington says: Not for
a long time has there been so much dis
cussion in diplomatic and high political
circles over any subject as is the case
with RESP ct to the Boer sympathy meet
ing on Sunday evening last in Washing
ton.
Amaz-Mcnt is scarcely Sufficiently
stong word to express the feeling which
has swept through the Diplomatic Corps,
and some of the members of the corps in
the rush of the excitement of the moment
have materially departed from their ac-
custed reticcnce. AS for those of our own
public men who dissent from the proprie-
ty of the gathering and the good taste of
those who appeared as speakers, they are
of course altogether unrescrycI in their
comments.
Whatever exception is taken applies in
very little, if any, degree to the relative
merits of the contest between the BIitons
and Beers. There are wide differences
private and in public life, and of course
everyone has a right to express his opin
ion. But it is apparent to the dullest I'M
derstandng in this community that the
underlying motives of the Sunday night
demonstration lay not in sympathy for
the Boer, but in hatred of the Briton.
Those who engineered the movement
and conducted it can see nothing but
wrongdoing in Great Britain, no matter
what the circumstances. They may have
good reason for their animosity, but that
does not make them impartial.
The resolutions, which of course were
written beforehand, contain the most as
tonishing statements, some of which, of
the most damaging character, have abso-
lutely not one particle of evidence to sus-
tain them. Yet not only the shouting
crowd down in the auditorium, and I'M
able in the noise and confusion to ade-
quately comprehend their purport, hailed
them with acclaim, but so also did the
men on the stage styling themselves
Itdu SIdtcSiltu.
\ member of the Diplomatic Corps
said such spectacle as that of Sunday
night, with members of the highest legis-
lativc body participating, could only be
seen in the United States. He said to
many it seemed a strange return for the
attitude of Great Britain during the
Spanish war, when she prevented the
European coalition against us which, to
perately hard time to overcome She was
also by far the best customer of the
United States, buying from US all the
time hundreds of Millions The loss of
her trade would soon convert our present
boastcd prosperity into commercial de
preston without paraI ell.
This diplomat further said that after
what had happened here could any pro-
test or remonstrance he offered should a
great mass meeting of sympathy for the
Filipinos DO gotten up in London, with
leading members of Parliament denounc-
ing in fiery language the Government of
the United States and its policy, and
rendering their heartfelt wishes for the
| success Of \ guinaldo and his army. Such
a demonstration would have most pow
crful effect all over Europe 1t is not in the
least improbable it would embOlden the
great Continental nations which look
with so much disfayor upon the United
States obtaining a foothold in the East to
