Schley's Witty Attorney. -.


Hon. Isidor Rayner, one of Admiral
Schley's counsel, ds called THE actor
orator of Maryland, says the Saturday
Evening Post of Philadelphia. His
friends say that had he chosen the
drama as his theater of action he
could easily have won distinction as
tragedian. His colleagues who serv-
ed with him in congress delight in tell
ing how he strobe up and down the
aisles when making impassiomed
speeches.
Unlike many Of the great debaters
Of the House, Mr.. Rayner seldom lap
ses into humor, except when interrupt
ed. His set speeches were formidable
to his opponents. A stern, uncompro-
missing earnestness was his secret of
strength in oratorical combat.
In the beginning of his congressional
career some Of his opponents sought
to weaken his arguments by constant
ly interrupting him, but these tactics
served to concentrate his wit. In re
torts he sometimes departed from his
statelier manner and hurled shafts Of
| satire.
While making speech in favor Of
reduction of the tariff he was inter
rupted by the late Congressman Ding
ley, of Maine, who asked Mr.. Rayner
If he favored putting coal on the free
list
"Coal is not mentioned in this bill,"
replied Mr.. Rayner.
"But should Like to know If the
gentleman will join me and others to
put coal on the free list" persisted
the Maine statesman.
"Will you vote for the bill if we put
coal on the free list?" asked the Mary
land congressman.
Mr.. Dingley replied that he would
answer that question when the bill
was completed.
"Well," replied Mr.. Rayner, "when
you answer my question, I'll answer
yours. Well both answer together"
Later "Czar" Reed asked him what
his attitude was as to glass.
"We both live in glass houses and
had better change the subject" was
Mr.. Rayner's rejoinder.
Reed and Rayner were frequently in
some verbal duel.
"Did not the gentleman hear my
speech Saturday." thundered the czar
on one occasion.
"No," replied Mr.. Raynor, Il was at
home preparing speech of my own"
Candor is one Of Mr.. Rayner's strong
points. In political speech on one
occasion he made the statement that
the Democratic party in convention
had denounced the purchasing clause
Of the Sherman act and had pedged
the party to it's speedy repeal. II am
in favor" added Mr.. Rayner, "of keep
ing Democratic promises according to
the letter.
GAIL Of them?" asked some one in
the audience, ready to spring discard
ed plank of some previous platform.
"Well, every one Of them so far as
they can he kept" rejoined the speaker,
and the crowd, although not all of his
political faith, applauded him for his
dexterous escape from the trap set for
him.
Mr.. Rayner is of a reverent turn of
mind. and is usually liberal in his re-
ligious outlook, holding pews in
churches Of various denominations.

The birds of prey are lowering round,
the vultures wheel and swoop-
They come, the coronetted ghouls! with
drum-beat and with troop
They come to fatten on your flesh, your
children's and your wives;
Ye die but once-hold fast your lands,
and, If ye can, your lives.
Let go the trembling emigrant-not
such as he ye need;
Let 60 the lucre-loving wretch that
flies his land for greed;
Let not one coward stay to clog your
manhood's waking power;
Let not one sordid churl pollute the
nations natal hour.
Yes, let them go!-the caitiff rout, that
shirk the struggle now
The light that crowns your victory
shall scorch each recreant brow,
And in the annals of your race, black
parallels in shame,
Shall stand by traitors and by spy's
the base deserter's name.
Three hundred years your crops have
sprung, by murdered corpses fed
Your butchered sires, your famished
sires, for CHASTITY compost spread;
Their bones have fertilized your fields,
their blood has fallen like rain;
They died that ye might eat and live
God! have they died in vain?
The yellow corn starts blithely up; be-
meath it lies grave
Your father died in "ForH- H-eight'-his
life for yours he gave
He died, that you, his son, might learn
there is no helper nigh
Except for him who, save in fight, has
sworn he will not die.
The hour has struck, Fate holds the
dice, we stand with bated breath;
Now who shall have our harvest fair?
tits Life that plays with Death;
Now who shall have our Motherland? :?
tits Right that plays with Might;
The PEASANTS arms were weak indeed
in such unequal fight!
But God Is on the peasants side, the
God that loves the poor,
His angels stand with flaming swords
on every mount and moor,
They guard the poor mans flocks and
herds, they guard his ripening
grain,
The robber sinks beneath their curse
beside his ill-got gain.
o pallid serfs! whose groans and pray,
ers have wearied Heaven full long,
Look up! there is Law above, beyond
all legal wrong;
Rise up! the answer to your prayers
shall come, tornado-borne,
And ye shall hold your homesteads
dear, and We shall reap the corn!
But your own hands upraised to guard
shall draw the answer down,
And bold and stern the deeds must be
that oath and prayer shall crown;
God only fights for them who fight
now hush the useless moan,
And set your faces as a flint and swear
to hold your own!

Hold the Harvest.

Now are you men, or are you kline, ye
tillers of the soil?
Would you be free, or evermore, the
rich mans cattle, toll?
The shadow on the dial hangs that
points the fatal hour
Now hold your own! or, branded
slaves, forever cringe and cover.
The serpent's curse upon you lies-ye
writhe within the dust,
Ye fill your mouths with beggar's swill,
ye grovel for crust:
Your lords have set their blood-stained
heels upon your shameful heads,
Yet they are kind-they leave you still
their bitches for your beds!
Oh, by the God Who made us all-the
seignior and the serf-
Rise up! and swear this day to hold
your own green Irish turf!
Rise up! and plant your feet as men
where now you crawl as slaves,
And make your harvest-delds your
camps, or make of them your
graves.

There has been much discussion locally
of the supposed plans to build high
speed electric line between this city and
Baltimore. Up to the present time, how
ever. little if anything in the way of
positive information has been obtaina bic
regarding the plan. One story is that
Messrs. Crosby and Lieb, the gentlemen
who own the Great Falls Power Company
and who were formerly officers and
largely interested in the Washington
Traction Company, are at the bottom of
the plan. According to this story, these
gentlemen own a controlling interest in
the ashngton-Annapolis Railway Com
pany charter. and propose to build under
this charter, cooperating with James
Christy, of Cleveland, and his associates,
who have built several inter-urban lines
in different parts of the country. Ac-
cording to this story, one of the Wash
ington Traction lines in this city is to
he utilized as a terminal for the proposed
new railway. Another story is to the ef
feet that the proposal to build is entire
~ independent of any former plan and
the new line will not utilize either any
part of the Washington Traction system
in this city or the Baltimore line TO ELL
colt City.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Trading In Wheat and Corn of n
Light Nature.

CHICAGO, April 13-Wheat opened
weaker on the a4d7sd decline at Liverpool
and more rain in the Southwest. After
the first rush TO sell the market steadied
on commission house buying of July. The
general trade was light. The operators,
with few exceptions, are bearish, but are
inclined to wait for further Developments
in the crop outlook. A spell of dry, warm
weather will develop the extent OF the
Hessian fly infection Paris was 1kc low
er, Antwerp 9sc higher. Cash people re-
port good enquiry for wheat Mime
apOlis advices were that there was an ex-
cellent cash demand and that market was
tirmer than ours today
Corn was dun. The opening was lower
in sympathy with wheat There was a
fractional rally during the day on shorts
covering July. There was very little do
ing in May. The weather is unfavorable,
but promises to clear over Sunday The
cash demand is poor Todays CARROTS
were 143, with 100 for Monday.
Oats were steady and quiet The cash
demand was not so urgent today The
outside trade seems inclined to sell Nav
and buy July. The closing was a shade
easier with corn.
After firm opening on the strength in
the hog market provisions sold off on of
ferings from local longs and little SELL
at small declines. The speculative de
mand was rather slow. The fear of an
increased hog movement next week was
a prominent factor. The cash trade was
light.

Rock Island was the feature of yester-
days market with an advance Of several
points 10 d level above even that of a
week ago. The buying of the stock was
very heavy. One of the theories of the
past week has been that the Pennsyl-
yania IS buying the control OF the Rock
Island for its share of the Western cfvi-
sion Of interests. II has been said too
that the PENNSYLVANIA is after the Atchi-
son. MI keene was unquestionably the
most conspicuous figure in Rock Island
yesterday. This suggests that il the
Pennsylvania wants the system the Nor
gan crowd may want ii, too Which Is
one Of the Developments of the theory
that there Is "A big fight on. Many of the
largest holders of Rock Island stock state
that they know nothing of a change OF
control in the company.

IN THE BANKING CIRCLE.
Local Investment and Speculative
Gossip of Interest.

The feature of the local investment
market that has attracted most attention
during the past week has been the strong
demand for Washington Traction and
Electric bonds. This demand has been of
a two-fold nature. There were. early In
the week. several limited orders for large
amounts of the bonds from New York.
These sprung up all at once apparently.
and the inference in + Street was that
they were for inside interests and fore
Swallowed developments of some kind.
The persistence of these orders and the
execution of other orders. also from New
York, that were not limited as to price.
caused the local spectators to begin
buying. 1t is probable that the latter
class OF business has been larger than
the former. though there is no doubt as
to the genuineness of the New York or

The bank statement yesterday was of
a character wholly unexpected. Early in
the week, 1t was believed that the figures
would be very bad, owing to losses in
cash. Later it was said that perhaps 1t
would not be very bad, as loans were be-
ing cut But no one looked for the large
increase in surplus that occurred. The
insiders are probably responsible for the
gests forcibly that they are again will
ing to support the market, and make
higher prices this week. The figures of
