Washington, December 1s.-The senate
committee en- education and labor today
agreed upon a favorable report of the
house eight4hour bill. The measure pro-
vides that every contract for public
work, made by the United States in any
territory, or in the District of Columbia,
shall provide a penalty of s. for each
laborer or mechanic that may be re-
quired or permitted to labor more than
eight hours on such work, the penalty
to be withheld from payments due the
contractors or sub-contractors. The ag-
grieved thereby are given the right Of
appeal to the head of the department
making the contract and thence to the
court of claims. Besides providing that
the act shall not apply to contracts for

land, intend to petition the County Commission

A MOST unusual "order" was adopted by the
House of Delegates of Maryland on Good Fri
day (March 2Sth,) as follows: Whereas today
Christian world upon which Jesus the Christ
hung upon the cross in mental and moral
agony and was buried;before sunset, therefore
be it ordered by the House of Delegates, that
in remembrance of His death and sufferings,
and in observation of the day and the event it
commentaries, this House be not in session
between the hours of 8 and o'clock and that
o'clock tonight" The Senate passed similar
order the same day. The occurrence of Good
Friday during the ninety days of the session
is very unusual, but Easter came early this
year.

SENATOR HANNA, of Ohio, says he is not
candidate for the Republican nomination for
the Presidency in 1904. Writing to political
friend in Wisconsin he says: II have just re-
ceived your letter Of the 10Th instant, and wish
to assure you of my thorough appreciation of
the high compliment paid me in your sugges-
ton in reference to the nomination for 1904
] am grateful for such friendship and conf
dence but viii say in reply that am not in
any sense a candidate, and trust my friends
will discourage any movement looking toward
that end"

THE SUM appropriated to pay the expenses of
the last session of the Legislature was 1926, 900,
but it is said the cost of the session will run
up to Sl65,000, leaving big deficiency to be
provided for. The election contests of the
session-growing out of the trick ballots that
the Democratic party is responsible for
proved expensive affairs. There were about
twenty of these and they cost the taxpayers
nearly $4,000. Perhaps they will have a
reckoning hereafter with the party that prom
ised so much and did SO little except to lavish
ly spend the peoples money.

WE HAVE no particular dislike to General
Miles, but it must be admitted that he is so
capable of indiscretions as to cast doubts upon
his ability to head the army with efficiency.
There must be something wrong with the man
who is always putting his foot in it and antag-
onizing his superiors.

In THE House of Representatives last week
Mr.. Richardson, of Tennessee, the Democratic
leader, created a sensation by presenting
charges, based upon an alleged secret report of
Captain Walter Christmas to the Danish Gov
eminent, alleging the corrupt use of fund of
100000 in connection with the sale of the
Danish West Indies. 1t is quite likely this is
nothing but sensation, and every one hopes
it will turn out such as it is disgrace enough
to think the American Congress is open to
suspicious of this kind, and double humilia-
ton if there were any foundation of truth in
it. But commercialism in politics has become
so potent and common that men are prone to
believe the worst at first blush, and without
waiting for the evidence. This leads to a sort
of pessimistic tone in public thought and,
what is worse, a kind of dull indifference
which weakly assumes that things cannot be
bettered, and there is no use in trying. In
consequence Congress has been already pre-
judged by all who look on the gloomy side of
life when, after all the whole affair is likely
nothing but mares nest found for the pur-
pose of Matching out partisan scandal.

A STRAW bondsman in New York city has
been sentenced to the penitentiary for six
years. In closing the case the prosecuting at
torney said the prisoner was one of the most
unconscionable scoundrels he had ever met
with. and the judge declared that the straw
bail business must be abolished. This evil
requires attention elsewhere.

ANOTHER EXTRA SESSION.

The Maryland Legislature, which adjourned
on Monday night last, either through over
sight or design, failed to pass the Tax Levy
bill, thus leaving the State without the neces-
sary funds to run its machinery for the next
two years. As result of this outrageous
bungling or crime an extra session of the Leg
islature now seems inevitable and it may be
called in day or two. To hold it will put
another unnecessary expense upon the tax
payers of s25 900 or more.

REV. Dr. WILLIAM H. PURNELL, one of
Marylands best known citizens, died suddenly
at Atlantic City on Sunday last aged about
eighty years. He was a native of Worcester
county and achieved distinction in law, politics,
education and the ministry. DR.. Purnell was
Comptroller of the State from January 9th,
1856, to May Sth, 1861, when he resigned and
was appointed postmaster of Baltimore city by
President Lincoln. He was the first Comp
troller to occupy the present Comptroller's
quarters in the building which will soon be
torn down. He was favorably considered for
the nomination when Thomas Holiday Hicks
was named for Governor. The regiment which
he organized during the civil war and was
made colonel of bore his name and was known
as Purnelrs Legion, consisting of 3 battalion
of cavalry one of infantry and one of artil-
lery. In 1895 and for few years thereafter
he was president of New Windsor College, at
New Windsor, Carroll county, and for short
time before he was taken i'll he was president
of the Delaware Military Academy, at Newark,
Del. The remains of DR.. Purnell were taken
to Annapolis aud inferred in the lot were re-
pose the remains of his wife and five children.
Mrs. Purnell died in Towson few years ago.
