IMPORTANT LEGISLATION.
Discussed and Agreed Upon by
Leading Democrats.
From the Baltimore sun of Tuesday.

from the Baltimore sun OF Iutsudy.
An important political dinner took place
at Rennert's yesterday, lasting from O'Clock
to 5. Senator German, the Governor and
many county leaders, including Senators and
Delegates. were present. Legislation was
discussed and it was the sense of the meeting
that the following legislation should be enact
ed ::
A primary election law for the whole State,
exempting such counties as may wish it. The
party conventions will be retained and candi-
dates will not be nominated by the direct vote.
A corrupt practices act will be passed, but
not the Reform League bill.
The election law to be revised, the party
designation of candidates to be omitted, but
the politics of each candidate is to be given
on a card posted in the election booths. The
ballots are to be printed in clear and uniform
type throughout the State. Provision will be
made for voting the straight ticket by writing
at the top of ballot. Persons coming IN the
State must register their intention to become
citizens.
A committee composed of Senators Robin
son and Jones and Delegate Rogers, OF How
ard county, will formulate these changes and
submit them to the Steering Commute, and
the Steering Committee will call general
caucus to adopt them.
The School bill promised in the Democratic
platform and recommended by the school
officials will be passed. 1t provides for a
commission, appointed by the Governor, to
report to the next Legislature.
The Sewer bill was discussed, and espe-
cially the Personnel bill. The Personnel bill
is Objectionable to the Democrats, and the
names of John E. Hurst, Henry Williams and
Douglas H. Thomas were mentioned.
Among others present at the dinner were
Senators Hubner, Robinson, Jones, Brewing
ton, Delegates Rogers, of Howard county;
Rogers, of Baltimore county; Wells, of
Prince Georges county, and Giles, of Somerset
county.

Annexation of Cuba.

The ADVOCATE said last week that reciproc-
ity in trade would be granted Cuba, and that
it believed that the Republican Administra-
ton never intended it to have self-government
except that approved by the Republican par
ty, and annexation was likely. In support of
that statement we reproduce Washington
dispatch of February IL:
Representative Francis G. Newlands, Of
Nevada. is working earnestly with his COL
leagues on the floor of the House and among
his associates on the Ways and Means Com
mttee in the interest of his proposition to grant
Cuba for period of one year 40 per cent.
reduction in the tariff rates, with the idea OF
ultimate annexation.
Mr.. Newlands was elected to Congress upon
a fusion ticket, supported by populists and
silverites, the latter including many Republi-
cans, and was originally Republican. He
is Republican, except in the matter of free
coinage, and in the Cuba legislation is in full
accord with the Republican bosses.
In declaring war against Spain, the disa-
vowal of intention of territorial aggrandize-
ment was false. Cuba will belong to the
United States before many years roll by.

Very Expensive Now.

sasticians tell us that the present session of the
Of that body. The increase of four in the member
ship with mileage and stationery Will mean an al
dition of about $3.50.
The above paragraph is going the rounds
of the Maryland Republican press. The in
crease in the members could not be avoided
without change in the Constitution, chang
ing the basis of representation. Had the
fraudulent Federal census stood the increase
in members would have been six. Would
the Republican press then have spoken of the
increased costs? Of course not.
And as to the present Legislature being the
most expensive in the history of The State, it
is a mere assertion without the slightest evil
dence to base it upon. The appropriations
so far have been very few, and not until the
session ends can any comparison be made
with the appropriations of former Legisla-
lures 1t is natural that expenditures would
Increase, with growing population and
greater consideration for the sick and afflicted
and with the desire for better educational IA
cilities.

Give Us Credit.

We hope our esteemed contemporary, the
Sentinel, will not fail to note thata Demo
cratic Legislature extended the term of Re-
publican judge who is nearing the age limit of
seventy years. Do not say that Judge Phelps
transcendant ability and judicial pureness left
no other course to the Legislature, for he is
no ADLER nor more upright than any other
Judge. Just for once give the Democrats
credit for ignoring partisanship and retaining
a Republican upon the bench, when they
could have refused to extend his term and
allowed Democratic Governor to select a
Democrat. The Sentinel, too, might note
that the Democrats in Baltimore few years
ago made no opposition to the election of
Judge Schumacher, Republican.

German for President.

Since the Democratic success last year and
Mr.. Gorman's reelection to the Senate there
has been quite boom started for him for the
Democratic nomination for President in 1904
Prominent Democrats throughout the country
have declared in his favor and some newspa-
pers also. All, too, believe he can be elected.
The ADVOCATE believes he would be as strong
as any who could be named perhaps strong
er. Not only would he have many indepen-
dents among his supporters, but he would not
be so strongly opposed by the money, manu-
featuring and commercial interests as was our
nominee in 1896 and 1900. Should he be
nominated and elected he would still be a
Democrat but courageous, deal
ing with matters in business way, but never
forgetting Democratic principles and that he

A large delegation from Baltimore went to
Annapolis on Wednesday to protest against a
bill providing for the election by the people
of School Commissioners in Baltimore City.
Charles J. Bonaparte, says the Sun cores

Is this the same Charles ]. Bonaparte who
some years ago earned the soubriquet of
s.Soup House Charley" by comparing the
public schools to public soup houses? Is not
the said Bonaparte opposed to public
schools? And is he not meddler in all sorts
of matters? 1t seems that he is in nearly
every delegation that goes to Annapolis. We
wonder if he knows what he favors.

In the House of Correction for Assault.

During the progress of cake-walk at Odd
Fellows hall, this city, by colored people,
on Friday night of last week. number of men
left the Hall aud repaired to Central Hotel
for refreshments. After being served, they
became boisterous and were requested to de-
sist. Failing to do so Mr.. J. L. O'Farrell,
the proprietor, elected one, when he was set
upon by several others and beaten, one man
using an iron poker. Mr.. o. Farrell had been
sick for some days, and was not in condition
to properly defend himself, or some of them
would have been roughly handled.
Warrants were issued for seven or eight of
the Negroes, but only three have been ar
rested.
These are Edward Brown, Emory Neal and
George Brown. They were before Justice
Moore on Monday afternoon. Emory Neal
and George w. Brown confessed to the as
sault, and Edward Brown stood trial and was
convicted Each was sentenced to the House
of Correction for three months. George W.
Brown appealed from the decision, and
Sheriff Crawford took the other two to the
House of Correction Thursday morning.
As the cake-walks by colored people almost
invariably end in disorder and fights, the
trustees of the Odd Fellows Lodge should
hereafter decline to rent it to the colored
people.

We shall with our spirit vision
See and know each other there.

All lifes dearest hottest ties,
That we look farewell forever
When we close these mortal eyes.
We shall in the angel plumage
