To Remove Tariff on Iron and Steel.

Representative Joseph w. Babco ok, Repub-
lican, of Wisconsin, surprised his party asso
ciates in the last Congress by declaring IN Ia
vor of a repeal of duties on iron and steel, and
while in Washington this week he announced
his determination to press his bill removing
these duties in the next Congress, which meets
in December. Mr. Babcock said that Con-
gress would fall very short OF IFS duty u II
failed to remove the tariff on articles so COM
pletely controlled by single combination as
10 enable that combination to fix prices
without regard 10 consumers, especially when
such articles no longer needed protection on
the lines advocated by the Republican party
"This," said Mr.. Babcock, lis in accord
ance with the Republican theory protection
n American industries When an article can
be manufactured in this country cheaper than
it can be made anywhere else that industry
needs protection no longer aud revenue can
not be raised from it. Ifthe Republican party
fails to meet the new conditions its whole
theory of protection falls to the ground.
Mr.. Babcock may be able to cause some
disturbance in the House next winter, but his
bill will not pass. Protection is cardinal
principle of the Republican party. Trusts of
all kinds look to the party for protection, in
return for the campaign contributions which
bought McKinleys reelection, and the Re
publican leaders, aided by the Hanna Nc Kin
lev Administration, will stife any effort to
disturb the holy principle of Protection. Still,
we shall await with interest Mr.. Babcock' $

Maryland Coal and Baltimore Rail
roads
From the Baltimore Sun, April q.

The publication in The Sun few days ago
of the fact that the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road is making the same charge upon soft coal
shipped TO Baltimore from Cumberland as it
makes upon coal shipped to Philadelphia has
arrested public attention Such rate is re-
garded as a serious threat to the commerce of
this city. Philadelphia being nearer the
ocean than Baltimore, an equal rate is re
garded as a serious discrimination in favor of
Philadelphia and one likely to drive the ship
ment of coal from this city. The Sun today
publishes two interviews in its local columns
dealing with this subject One of the gentle
men interviewed believes that the best way to
save the commerce of the city is for the State
to acquire the Chesapeake and Ohio canal and
lease it to the Western Maryland Railroad
Company for the extension OF its tracks to the
coal region. This gentleman gives some hg-
ures in the coal trade and declares that the
cost of soft coal used in this city has already
advanced a million dollars year, and he be-
Iieves that as railroad consultations become
more complete and the possession of the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal by the Baltimore
and Ohio Company more assured. there will
be nothing to prevent a still further and great
err advance unless some curb to the railroad
can be found. The only thing to prevent it,
he thinks, is the construction OF railroad to
the coal mines which will be in the control of
influences favorable to Baltimore.
The other interview is with member OF
the bar, who discusses the tax exemption en-
loved by the Baltimore and Ohio Company
and the enormous power and influence of the
consolidated or affiliated railroads of Mary
land. He looks upon the Baltimore and Ohio
Company as being no longer Maryland con-
Germ. Of its ten directors elected by the
stockholders not one lives in Maryland. In
view of this and in view of alleged dscrimi-
nations against Baltimore in freight rates this
gentleman suggests that the Maryland courts
might very properly adopt different rule in
constituting the tax exemptions than that which
has prevailed since the organization of the
company. The interviews will well repay
perusal by people interested in the welfare of

The Army to be Reduced.

Gen. Miles has recomm ended reduction
of the Army to 10000, and Secretary of War
Root SAYS the recommendation has been about
agreed 10. The reason for the reduction Is
said to be the virtual cessation of the war IN
the Philippines. Another reason, as has been
stated in the press dispatches, may be found
in the slowness of enlistments and the inabil-
ity to bring the army up to 100000 men by
the LIST of July, Volunteers who are in the
Philippines do not care to stay and those who
have been there do not desire to return. And
if hostilities have practically ceased aud the
F;lipinos are cordially welcoming United
States authority and government, as stated,
there can be no use for even 10000 men.
TIE country has always relied upon volun-
teers in the past, and volunteers can be relied
upon in the future twenty-five thousand
regulars have been ample for all purposes
heretofore, and certainly 10000 men should
be sufficient for Porto Rico and the Philip
pines. Gen. Miles should figure again.

Death Of Arthur =. Haddaway.

In the death Of Arthur F. Haddaway, man
aging editor of the Easton Ledger, the press

brilliant members. He died at his fathers
home in Easton, after long illness, on the

period when he was advancing in his profess

his retirement and he returned to his home
and became connected with the Ledger. He
was man of high character, strong intellect,

MEMOIR OF THOMAS CULRRETH. By Edl0drd T.
Tabbs Denton, Md-Thomas Culbreth was born in
Kent county, Delaware. His education was limited,
but he had strong mind and was full of ambition.
He chose a commercial calling, entering store at
Denton when youth and later becoming partner
in similar establishment in the same village. 1t
was not long before he entered the political arena
and was chosen excessively member of the House
of Delegates member of Congress and Secretary to
the Governors Council.
In the Memoir the author very entertainingly
sketches the principal in the of Cubreth
This necessitated n review of the political history
of Maryland during the period of his activity from
1903 to the days of the GLORIOUS Nineteen, most
important epoch in Maryland history.
Culbreih served In the XIV and XVI Congresses,
but the Memoir begins this part of his life with the
passage of the SALARY Grab by the XIII Congress,
which created such indignation all over the coui-
try, and resulted in the resignation of some men,
bers the refusal of others to stand for reelection
and the defeat of the most of those who tried for
reelection. In Congress Culbreth was an uudefa
tigable and painstaking worker, but did not often
occupy the floor Although Jealous Democrat, or
had been he enjoyed the confidence of Henry lay
who appointed him upon important committees
Culbreth was usually found voting Clay did.
He held views that were more i'll sympathy with
the views OF Northern democrats rather tnan win
those of his own section, and his ended with
an allegiance to the Clay-Adams party, mourning
bitter enplities among the Jackson Democrats.
The Memoir in dealing with Culbreths congress
siona career is an outline generally of the stirring
scenes debates in the 18th and 10th Congress
and is interesting in refreshing the minds of the
students of political history. And dealing with
political events in Maryland the Memoir clearly
demonstrates that political methods in those days
were not wholly different from those of the present
time Controversies sharp and acrimonious
political riyalries became personal, and bribery at
elections was charged Culbreth's political path
was always strewn with thorns. He was strongly
opposed for nominations and had to contend with
independent candidates He was assailed annony-
mously and forced to issue addresses in reply
The Memoir closes with short sketch of the
manner and appearance of Culbreth; speaks of his
characteristics as stump speaker. and gives
thing of the family history The author has done
his work well, and produced very readable sketch
of Marylander who played an important part in
state and national politics for quarter of century

How About Anne Arundel ?

started to investigate the census returns of
Aune Arundel county. Some eight or nine
inspectors were sent there, bat no report has
been made public. Has the work been com

is certain-the returns of Anne Arundel
county are wrong or those of Carroll are.

May Have to Buy American Cereals

BERLIN, April 22.-The Prussian crop re-

since these reports have been kept. Winter
wheat is given at 9-10, as against $40 last
year. The scale begins at l, perfect, aud
is very poor. Winter rye is given at 3, the
same as last year. Of the winter wheat area,
26 6-10 per cent. was frozen out and must be
repIowed. against $40 per cent. last year.
The damage done by the cold weather in
March was heavy. Many districts report the
condition utterly bad. The extent of the
damage will only be determinable in May
