public print In the columns OF the CapRGl. con
cerning matters OF grave moment and vital in
terest TO all concerned there would be but few
citizens indeed who would not be in our debt and
should be able to retire from journalism
and turn over the office and effects of the HVe'i
i'ig Copfal TO some more worthy, but, perhaps,
less considerate editor"
The MESSENGER wishes the Capital a
very prosperous future and hopes the
people of Annapolis will awaken to the
fact that their little daily is doing a great
deal to keep the capital city OF Maryland
in public view.

From baltimore Herald.
The Annapolis Capital was seventeen
years old on Sunday and celebrated the
occasion on Saturday with an extra
large edition of eight pages. The first
page contains an interesting account,
with half-tone pictures of White Hall the
old colonial mansion which was the home
of the Ridout family for SO many genera
ltions. In the editorial columns, Editor
Abbott reviews the vicissitudes of pub
fishing daily newspaper in Annapolis.
Anyone who has ever visited the capital
Of the State can realize the difficulties of
Mr.. Abbott's task and the loyal perse-
verance that has been needed for his
success. That he has been thoughtfully
considerate of his fellows feelings, under
great temptation, is evident from his
statement that ''It is not what we have
published, but what we have not pub
lished, that counts. This hints at a
grave state of affairs in Annapolis, in
concealing which newspaper editor
evinces a self restraint worthy OF the
highest reward.

The E0eHAag Cabital celebrated its
seventeenth year on Saturday with a
double sheet and an excellent sketch OF
White Hall, with a number of interesting
illustrations. The Capifaf has performed
its allotted duty in Annapolis with credit,
enterprise and success. 1t is well de.
serving of all the favor, with which it has
been received, and its capable proprie.
tors are worthy OF not only continuation
of all past patronage. but should secure
hearty aid as quasi-public institution,
for it would be general public loss if its
light were hid. Greater success than ever
to our most worthy cotemporary.
