Railroad Deals.

Rumors of railroad deals and transfers have
been rife for week or more. Last week II
was alleged that the West Virginia Central
Railroad had been sold, but whether the
Pennsylvania road or the Gould road was the
purchaser was not settled. The best infor-
nation states that the West Virginia Central
has not been sold, but will become part OF
the Wabash system, controlled by Gould.
Following the West Virginia deal, came the
alleged sale of the Western Maryland Rail-
road. The road has not been sold, but two
bidders are in the field for it and it is likely
to be sold.
When Baltimore was under Republican rule,
there was an attempt made to sell the road fol-
very low sum. President Hood showed by
figures that the price was out of all proper
ton to its value, considering its earning ca
pacity and valuable franchises. The press Of
Western Maryland also opposed sale, and
the matter was dropped. The present bid
ders have offered several times the price at
which it was proposed to sell about three
years ago, and it is likely to go to the Gould
interests, which is rival to the Pennsy
system, by which transfer Baltimore will have
competing railroad and shipping lines. II
the road cannot be sold to competing line
to the Pennsylvania road, which owns the
Baltimore & Ohio, the city should not sell.

Closure Rule.

The Democrats the Maryland Senate have
adopted a closure rule by which they may shut
off debate at will and prevent their opponents
from pressing them too hard with arguments
upon measures which will not bear the light
Of free and fair discussion. This is only
another sample Of the arbitrary rule of Cor
inauism. which not only "denies the people
their rights but tolerates no opposition,
when it has the power, outside or inside the
party lines. Seminal.
The closure rule was adopted in the Senate
two years ago, adopted at the extra session
and again for this session. twill not operate
to shut eff reasonable and intelligent debate,
but to prevent talk for the sake of delay. Nor
was the rule adopted to prevent opponents
from pressing too hard with arguments upon
measures which will not bear the light of free
and fair discussion, for there is very little
ability on the Republican side of the Senate.
Putzel is perhaps the ablest, but he seems to
be afflicted with caeoetses earpends, and If
allowed full sway would be an interminable
talker, and mostly for delay.
The Sentinel seems very indignant at the
adoption of the closure rule. but did any one
ever see in its columns anything about the clos
ure rule adopted by the Republicans of the
House of Representatives at Washington? Oh.
NO: Republicans did that, and Republicans can
make no mistake Torun tariff bill through
in two days is all right when Republicans do
It. 20 rush Force Billsthrough in one day,
is also all right, when Republicans dc it, but
is awful when Democrats desire to take vote,
after full discussion. Republicans jam bills
through the House of Representatives without
allowing Democrats scarcely any time for
discussion, but the fact has not called forth any
criticism from the Sentinel. But, the SENT
mel always believes Republicans are all saints
and Democrats all sinners.

German and vandiver.


Hon. ArthurP. German was formally elected
United States Senator on Wednesday, to sue
coed Hon. George L. Wellington, receiving
soe votes to 81 for VIM Fl. jackson, Republi
can. The Senate and House voted separ ately
ION Tuesday, and in joint session on Wednes-
sday, when Mr.. German was formally declared
elected United States Senator. His new
term, making the fourth for him in the upper
house Of Congress, will begin March 4, 1903.
Mr.. Germans election was in express de-
mand of the Democrats of Maryland, and his
coming again into the Senate is matter OF
scongratulation to the Democrats throughout
the country, and he will be heartily welcomed
by the business interests as well, for he is a
conservative man, able and discreet, welding
great power. .
I On Tuesday Hon. Murray Vandiver was
sre-elected State Treasurer, which election also
continues him as a member of the Board OF
Public Works. Isaac Lobe Stratus, elected a
member of the House of Delegates from Bal
Ftimore as Democrat, ignored the Democratic
caucus decision in favor of Mr.. Vandiver, and
endeavored, by trying to effect an alliance
with the Republicans, to encompass his de-
feat, but he signaIly failed. His opposition
amounted to but one vote on the Democratic
side, his own, while two Republicans voted
for Mr. Vandiver. Mr.. Straus seems to have
found his level, and neither Democrats nor
Republicans are attaching much Importance
to him or his transeendant talent and magnfi.
cent ability. If his faction does not get de-
moralized by successive defeats it can be
counted upon for one vote upon any measure
he espouses or opposes.

Quaker Versus Puritan.
From the baltimore sun.


Massachusetts and Pennsylvania have locked
horns and the din of battle may be heard from
the Quaker City to the Hub of the Universe
from the land of scrapple to the region of
baked beans Recently somebody wrote an
article in Boston magazine describing the
corrupt politics of Pennsylvania As an off
set to this Judge Samuel Whitaker Penny
packer, of Philadelphia, has published pam
phlet in which he charges Massachusetts with
acquiring fame under false pretenses. The
Philadelphia jurist alleges that there were
anti-slavery agitators in Pennsylvania when
s'the people Of Massachusetts were not only
dealing in negro slaves, but were selling
Indians and even convicted Quakers in the
Barbados But the unkindest cut of all is
Judge Pennypacker's ferocious assault upon
the Bunker Hill monument as memorial OF
Massachusetts valor. IA Massachusetts gen
eral," he says. selected an elevation and
protected himself by intrenchmenis.s- The
British landed at the foot Of the hill marched
up, drove the Americans from the field and
captured and held the intrenchments. Since
that time historians have written and poets
have sung, huge monument was erected and
Daniel Webster delivered an Grafton until al
most, if not altogether, we are persuaded that
in some way which we do not understand we
must have won the battle. 1t is substantially
the only one ever fought in Massachusetts and
is cherished ex necessitate." 1t must be ad-
mitted, even by the most arrogant and self
satisfied Bostonese, that Judge Pennypacker
makes paIpable hit. He also scores heavily
when he asserts that Hwhile few Pennsylva-
mans can ever be persuaded to emigrate to
Massachusetts there has been since the time
of Penn steady current of people who were
willing to forego the advantages, civil or other
wise, of Massachusetts, in order that they
might improve their condition and ours by
coming here" Really, this is almost too
severe, but if the brethren will quarrel it is
just as we'll that the remarks they make about
each other should be spicy and pointed.
