NEW SETTLERS IN THE
STATE OF MARYLAND.

The report Of the Bureau of 1mmi gra-
ton of the State of Maryland, says the
Baltimore SIN, makes an excellent show
ing of the work done during the last year
and strong plea for better facilities for
continuing its operations. The bureau
has been the medium through which
considerable number of most desirable
citizens have been brought to Maryland
who have purchased farms. The actual
amount of capital so brought here, while
considerable, represents but small item
in the benefits which accrue to the people
from such immi grafton Where Il single
family settles and prospers, friends of
that family are apt to come a!so. The
most difficult thing is to make the begin
ming. In certain parts Of the State, where
land is cheap and immigrants would be
most likely to settle because of the cheap
ness of lands, the methods of farming are
open to criticism. 1t has always been be-
lieved that the farmers of Southern Mary
land, for example, devote themselves too
exclusively to their staple crops. They
neglect those products which are cons;
dered the side crops in the western
counties, and it is these side crop which
afford the members of the farmers family
their living, leaving, as rule, the profits
on the main crops almost clear. These
side crops are produced in the garden, the
poultry yard and the dairy. They include
also potatoes, apples, cloverseed, etc. To
introduce a family accustomed to this
kind of farming into Southern Maryland
is an advantage as an object lesson to
every falmer in the community where the
family settles. Among the imni -!ants
also are white farm laborers, Who are
sadly needed in the southern counties.
The Board of immigration alludcs to the
fact that it was through Its efforts that /;
new industry has been brought to the
State-the breeding of Angora goats. If
experiments which have begun meet with
success il may mean much for cur people.
The con mission commends highly its
secretary, Mr. Herman Badenhoop. The
President of the board is Mr. Charles n
Hargett. Mr.. Hattersly W. Talbot is
superintendent and the other member is
Mr. ]. W Kerr.

THE CARISTMASTIDE.

Charity is the ruling thought for
the Chris, mastide. 1t is the founda
ton stone of the brotherhood of man.
He, Whose birth we commemorate
taught peace and good will. Charity
promotes pc ce and good viii. Giving
is not the only manifestation Of charity;
in fact, giving is not always charity.
-ere can be charity in thought and
word as we'll as in deed. "I.ove thy
neighbor as thyself'' is divine injunc-
tior. We cannot love our neighbor, il
We think i'll of Lin and speak i'll of him.
Giving may be but an outward form
pretence. Love and sympathy be-
speak an inward grace. Gifts may tie
an expression of love, and they may
not be. But the benevolent heart and
the sl mpathctic spirit, that blossom
forth in uniform courtesy and in gen
erous instinct, mark the true charity
that brings us nearer to God. Every.
body cannot give rich gifts, but every
body can give love and kindness and
sympathy. 1t is these noble qualities
and not the outward show Of them
that the world most needs. The cult
walton Of brotherly love will make wars
cease, will right social wrongs and
hasten on the coming OF the millen.
niur.
1t is tie Christmastide, let us be
charitable.

PROTESTS AGAINST
VERDICT.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore
"Sun" from Washington Monday says:
Admiral W. s. Schley's further plan Of
procedure to be begun by his counsel an6
his friends in Congress has been an
nounced.
The impression has gone forth that the
Admiral will institute proceedings in the
civil courts with view to obtaining judg
ment which might yield him money con-
sideration. 1t was authoritatively stated
that under no circumstances would such
be the case. If suit be entered against E
S. Maclay and his publishers, it will be
upon the basis of a criminal action, and
the main object of such suit would be to
get the case before court of justice with
a view to securing verdict from such
court upon the important points in not
only the Maclay case, but in the principal
cause heard before the Court of Inquiry
1t was stated that it is the intention of
Admiral Schley's friends in the House
and Senate to introduce resolutions recit-
ing that Admiral Dewey's finding is the
real fiji ding, and is so accepted by the peo-
pie through their representatives. The
resolution will provide further that Admi-
raj Schley be placed upon the retired list
as such, but with the pay, privileges and
emoluments of a rear admiral upon the
active list. II the temper of the House is
1o
il is then intended to introduce bill pro-
noting Admiral Schley to the rank of vice
admiral. The purpose is to secure action
by Congress which shall completely oblit-
crate the censure contained in the maj GRITTY
decision of the court
1t is possible that the President may be
appealed to. In this case in the event of
the Secretary of the Navy approving the
findings, Mr.. Roosevelt may be asked to
quash the decision of the majority. 1t is
generally thought improbable, however,
that Mr.. Roosevelt will take any such ac-
ton. 1t was also stated that a decision
had been reached not to ask for Con-
gressional investigation.
Admiral Schley has formally protested
against the findings of the Court of In
quiry, and through his counsel, Mr. Isdor
Rayner, today presented a communication
to Secretary Long asking that action on
the report be withheld until counsel shall
have submitted the objections in proper
form.
Secretary Long has agreed to the re-
quest, and by Wednesday or Thursday
Mr.. Rayner may have prepared his brief
setting forth the objections and the rea-
sons for making them. Meanwhile Secre-
tary Long will give consideration to the
case. The action taken today was the
result of conference held this morning,

SCHLEY FILES EXCEPTIONS

Late Wednesday afternoon Sccrt tary
Long was handed the bill of exceptions
prepared by Mr.. Isidor Rayner, counsel
for Rear dmiral Winfield S. Schiey, in
| which objections are made to certain find.
ings in the recent report from the Court
of Inquiry. The brief was taken under
advisement by the Secretary, who will
probably reach some conclusion on the
of the week.
With the brief was letter from A dmi.
raj Schley asking that if Admiral William
T. Sampson, as reported, had filed objec'
tons to that portion of Admiral Dewey
minority opinion concerning the question
of command, Mr.. Rayner be allowed to
present oral argument against the admis-
sion of the protest.
While Secretary Long has made no
ruling on the adyisability of permitting
oral arguments by either counsel for Ad'
miral Sampson or Admiral Schley, he will
probably deny such requests.
VII " dStiou,
Mr.. Rayner said:
"The objections that we have fled rest
upon the ground that Admiral Schley has
been deprived Of his rights as guaranteed
to him by the law Of the land and the Con-
stitution of this country. We claim that
the whole of the evidence in favor of the
Admiral. including his own and the testi-
mony of all his witnesses, has been re-
jected by the ajority of the court and
not even considered or passed upon.
"Such method of procedure could not
be permitted to stand for a moment before
any tribunal governed by any principle of
common law or common justice. The Adj
miral was on the stand for about four days
and not IA word that he uttered and not a
solemn assertion that he made IN Ter the
sanction of his oath has been adverted to
by the maj ority of the court.
"Such method of disposing of a case
is unparalleled in the annals of civil or
criminal law. The greatest malefactor in
the land, under the Constitution, is enti-
tied to have his evidence considered and
passed upon.
1--WE shall, therefore, avail ourselves of
every remedy that we have to impeach
this appalling verdict"

THE SCHLEY MISTRIAL.

1t is most deeply to be regretted that
the two inferior members of the ScEley
Court of Inquiry, constituting majority
of that body, have had the hardihood to
make a report voicing substantially the
prejudices of jealous fellow officers in the
Navy Department, rather than the plain
truth, as made manifest to the American
public by the great event with which the
whole world is familiar. The majority re-
port admits, indeed, that admiral
Schley's conduct during the battle was
self-possessed and that he encouraged in
his own person his subordinate officers
and men''-thus disposing of the absurd
"catiff' charge-but in respect to his en-
tire management of the fleet before the
battle of Santiago and during that victor
ious action the majority report finds the
Admiral at fault. Evidently finding so
out of keeping with the judgment of the
unprejudiced public cannot stand, but
will necessitate Congressional investi-
cation and second inquiry, thus creating
an unpleasant PARALLEL to the Dreyfus
scandal
1t is to he noted that Admiral Dewey,
minority of the court, indeed, but its
presiding officer and in a position which
enables him to judge the facts far better
than the other members of the court, sus-
tains Admiral Schley in all important
points, finding that he did his full duty
throughout the Santiago campaign and
is entitled to the credit of the superb
naval victory there. This is the verdict
of common sense and will command gen
eral support. The victor of Manila, be-
ing in position to judge impartially
donors the victor of Santiago, while the
other members of the court, with no such
qualification, undertake to reverse the
facts of history.-Baitimore Sun.

CONFERENCE OF DEMO-
Gratis.


has been called for next Thursday :,
when, in addition to the managers of
the party, certain Democratic Senators
and Delegates-elect will gather at the
Hotel Rennelt to discuss "party mat
tcrs."
The plan of holding a general con-
ference of all the Delegates prior to
the assembling of the Legislature has
been abandoned and Mr.. German is
credited with substituting the plan Of
interviewing the Democratic members
individually and in small groups.
In the past two weeks several such
small conferences have been held, at
which work at Annapolis has been
outlined. The conference next week,
however, is different affair, and will
probably be the last before going to
Annapolis. Three questions, it is said
on high authority, will be discussed,
and as far as possible the party policy
upon them determined. They are:
The redistricting Of the Congress
sional districts and the gerrymander
Of the city.
Amendments to the present Election
law.
The Primary Election bill.
Those Senators and Delegates who
are supposed to have intentions of i'll
Producing primary election bills or ad-
vocating charges in the Election law
will he present, and the object of the
meeting, it is said, is to have them to
agree upon legislation relating to these
two matters, so that they can be SUBJ
mitted to the Democratic caucus and
be backed by the full party strength
in both branches of the General As
scmbly.
1t is positively stated that so far as
the election law is concerned Mr. Cor
man and the other managers have
reached fixed determination to so
amend the law at the coming session
as to absolutely prevent illitcrates
from voting and to restrict the fran
chise entirely to the intelligent voters
of the State.
One mt thod doing this that is being
seriously considered is the placing Of
line at the top of the ticket requiring
the voter to write in blank space the
words straight or "split,'' according
to the kind of ticket he intends to vote
This, it is argued, will not only great
ly facilitate the counting of the votes,
but will avoid mistakes as to the in
tcntion of the voter. After filling in
the blank space at the head of the
ticket the voter would still be requir-
ed to make his crossmark after the
name of every candidate he desires to
vote Tor.
With this amendment secured
the leaders, it is stated, will he
willing to allow full Their amendments
to the law, such as specifying that the
ballot he printed in certain plain, Iegi-
BILE type, making it absolutely uniform
all over the State, and placing above
each group of candidates names the
number to be voted for, to pass with
out opposition. 1t is clearly under
stood that all these matters, so far as
possible, are to be decided in caucus,
and that al the coming session the eau
Gus will be worked to the limit. In no
other way, it is claimed, can there be
united action on bills of vital interest
