A Blizzard In The West.

CHICAGO, ILL, Feb. 9.-The most remark
able February day in the history of the
Weather Bureau of Chicago has just beer. ex-
perienced. From 81 to degrees above zero
was the record Of temperature made in seven
teen hours. Starting with a heavy rain storm
the weather changed to snow and for several
hours there was blizzard, the wind reaching
a velocity of sixty-two miles an hour, with in
tense cold. Telegraphic reports from various
cities in the Northwest were to the effect that
the cold weather is accompanied with biz
yards, which are greatly interfering with
traffic. AT Minneapolis all telephone and tel
egraph wires were down yesterday and trains
on the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul road
had been abandoned. Throughout northern
Iowa business was practically suspended, and
the stock interests suffered great loss. All
wagon roads were blocked and service had
been abandoned on the street cars.
AT st. Paul the worst blizzard in years was
raging. In Northern Wisconsin the storm
was general and severe enough to cause sus-
pension oftrafic. Marquette and many Mich
igan towns were little better of.

Hawaii in Congress-.

In the plan of government for HawaIi, now
before Congress, that island possession Of the
United States is to have delegate in Con
gress. Just like the home territories. At the
last election the registered vote of Hawaii wa
2.69s, less than one-third of the vote of Car
roll county. The population Of the islands
is about 100, 600, divided as follows;-Sl, Ols
Hawaiians, s,4s5 part Hawaiians, S,eS6
Americans, $3.50 British, /, 4S2 Germans, lOl
French, s7s Norwegians, 1871 Portuguese,
"a. 4o7 Japanese, q, $40 Chinese and 1856 Of
other nationalities.
Like all territories, Hawaii will soon be
asking for statehood, and if the Republicans
remain in power, and party necessities de-
mapd two Republican United States Senators
to maintain control of the Senate, HAWAII
win be admitted and two citizens of these tar
off islands will come to help govern the
United States. So it viii be, in time, with Porto
Rico and the Philippines. From the latter for
ty. fftv or any number of states can be erected,
and then we viii have a beautiful govern
ment, indeed.
This is the year to call halt in territorial
expansion, with all its possible evils, and the
way to do ii is to dethrone the Hanna-Mc-
Kinley oligarchy at Washington.

Cecil editors do not conhne themselves
wholly to newspaper work. Editor Ash, OF
the Democrat, attends real estate sales, and
when piece Of property is going at bar
oa;n. seoops il in, sells at an advance and
waits for another opportunity. Recently,
when the old fair grounds were going al a
low figure he swiPed the property for little
less than $4,000 and viii make profit OF
5000.
Editor Brattan, Of the News, captures burg
lars for diversion, and landed one early
Wednesday morning of last week, just as the
fellow was entering the News Office from the

Maryland Legislature.

FR1DAY.-In the Senate bill providing that
railroad bridges across navigable streams more
than 800 feet wide should be constructed OF
steel was favorably reported by the Committee
on Corporations, with an amendment except
ing the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic
Railway Company, It's lines and branches,
and the Baltimore and Sparrows Point Rail-
road Company. The bill has reference to
railroads operated wholly in the State of
Maryland. The report caused Much discus
sion and further action was postponed until
Wednesday next. Numerous petitions and
leaves to introduce new bills were granted.
In the House very little business was trans
acted beyond the reading of bills, &C., and
after short session adjourned to Monday
night.
MONDAY NIGHT.-Roth Houses were flooded
with bills and petitions, mostly of local
character. Many bills from each branch
were read and referred to the proper COM
mittees.
TUEsDAY.-In the Senate a petition for a
general local option law was prensented; also
petition against any change in the present
Sunday law in Baltimore. Numerous other
petitions and leaves were presented, bills
read and many passed.
In the House about the same routine was
observed.
WEDNEsDAY.-The President of the Senate
and the Speaker Of the House are urging the
committee to bring in the various bills that
have been referred to them, so that dsliber-
ate action can be taken, and to avoid the rush
later on. The House held night session.
In the Senate the bill to establish State
Normal and Industrial School for colored
youths was unfavorably reported. The bill
called for an appropriation of SIS, 1000, and
Senator Wiliam( Harfords )offered an amend
ment calling for an appropriation of S25, 900.
Quite discussion was had over a bill per
hitting public officials to file their bonds with
trust company and charge the cost to the ex
penses Of the Office,
In the House numerous petitions were pre-
sented and leaves granted to introduce new
bills; bills were read and passed. The night
session was occupied in passing bills.
THuRspAY.-Senator Brewington's bill to
reorganize the county school boards came
back from the House with certain amend
ments. These amendments were adopted by
a party vote and the bill as amended finally
passed by vote of IA to IL. 1t will receive
the signature of the Governor and as soon as
practical the new school commissioners will
be appointed. There are three in each of the
counties except Washington, Frederick, Car
roll, Baltimore and Dorchester. la these lat
ter counties there are to be six, two OF whom
shall be members of the minority party. In
the other counties there will be one minority
representative.
The bills for lower street car fare and Ma
son and Dixon's Line were debated at length,
as was also the bill to pension teachers, which
was unfavorably reported. At the night ses-
sion considerable business was transacted
The House was occupied in debating the
School Commissioners bill and amendments
to it. Favorable and unfavorable reports
were made at the night session, and large
number of bills were passed.

Some gentlemen in Baltimore would like
to see the representation Of that city increased
in the General Assembly. The scheme in
cludes three members of the House for all
counties uuder 10000 population and one
member extra for each additional 10000.
The whole number in the House, including
SO from Baltimore instead Of is, would be
$50 as against OIL at present. Baltimore now
has one-fifth of the members of the House and
under the proposed change would have less
than ene-fourth. We see no advantage in the
change for Baltimore nor for the counties.
We do see, however, an increase of about
$50, 600 in legislative expenses, an unwieldy
body and a food of useless bills.
