Nj ARYLAND'S
GREAT RESOURCES.

Few States in the Unicn are more
blessed in the number and variety of
natural resources than Maryland
They belong both to the sea and the
land. In agriculture and horticulture
She compares most favorably with her
sister States. cltain V in a degree pro-
portIonatc to her size. In the coal
IN mes OF the northwestern counties
there is an almost eXhaustlcss source
of wealth. In the fisheries of the
Chesapeake she has blessing that her
less favored sisters may rightly envy.
In the value and variety of the prod
ucts raised in the tide-water counties
more especially in the tobacco inter-
est-she can boast of pre-eminence.
Maryland is, indeed, favored land
How very great, therefore, is the re-
sponsibility resting upon those who
make and execute the laws, lest the
blessings Of God be not enjoyed to
their full extent through the foolish
ness of men.
The integrity and honor OF our
courts are and have always been be-
You'd question; may the wisdom and
honesty of our lawmakers ever be
glaged by the same high standard

MAY BUY DANISH ISLANDS.

The purchase of the Danish West In
dies, constituting three little islands
which can be bought for probably $4,000
600, has the cordial approval of the Presi-
dent and Secretary Hay, not that the
group is now especially required as ma
val base of supplies which would have
been their chief value to this Government
prior to the Spanish War, but in order to
prevent some other country securing
them.
Denmark has been anxious for years to
relieve herself of the burden of carryng 9
the islands, which have been nonproduct-
i've Senator Lodge has introduced nu-
merous resolutions looking to the pur-
chase of the islands, but it is stated at the
Department of State now that the way to
accomplish the deal will lie for an appro,
priation to be made, after which a treaty
can be negotiated for the transfer of the
group at price within the sum granted
by Congress.
The value of the islands for naval pur-
poses, now that this country has a station
at Puerto Rico and can secure site any.
where in Cuba, is considerably reduced
but should some Other power not havin g
possessions in the West Indies acquire
them, with the purpose Of establishing 4
depot of supplies, this country would nc
doubt enter protest. 1t Is therefore
deemed safe and desirable that they Sc
cured, if Denmark is ready to part with
them for reasonable sum.

STOCK DEALS BY CASSATT

The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph
of Monday said: The apparently real
| meaning of the new $13,000,000 Pennsyl-
| vania Railroad stock issue does not rest
in the plan to abolish grade crossings and
| the erection of new station in Pittsburg
at the cost of $l,500,000, together with
| bettermcnts elsewhere over the great sys-
| TEN, but in meeting payments for extend
| ed purchases Of stock of the Chesapeake
and Ohio, said to amount to 10), 900
shares.
"A prominent Pennsylvania Railroad
official said: chesapeake and Ohio shares
have b9en purchased quietly during the
past few months, in order to effect an i'm
portant, far reaching railroad deal. When
ever share was offered in the market it
was picked up, and the purchase was done
SO skillfully that the price was not dis
| turbed in the slightest degree. 1t is said
that Mr.. Cassatt, president of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, also bought
in this way block of 100000 shares of
Baltimore and Ohio stock through Jacob
Shift, of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., New York,
and James J. Hill, president of the Great
Northern. Mr.. w. X. Vanderbilt, of the
New York Central, has worked with Mr.
Cassatt in getting Chesapeake and Ohio
stock
ga full maj ority of the stock of either
the Baltimore and Ohio or Chesapeake and
Ohio was not obtained, but the Pennsyl
vania is credited with having sufficient to
control the policy of both and select the
managers. There is no intention to con-
solidate the properties. The only purpose
of Mr.. Vanderbilt and Mr. Cassatt is to
esta blish and maintain rates."
Dr. Joshua w. Herring qualified as
Comptroller of the State Treasury Mon
day and Immediately took charge of the
office. The oath was administered by
Govern John Walter Smith in the Ex-
ecutive Chamber. The Secretary of State,
Hon. Wilfred Bateman, and several others
were witnesses.
