A very inters sting statement is made
in the revised report published by the
Department OF Agriculture on charges in
the rates of charge for railway freights.
IL is stated 10 be the mos, notable fact
to be gathered from the data of the last
three : ears that the aggregate volume OF
traffc N ovement has bee n so greatly in
creased "In 1890 the average number
of tons carried per mile OF road operated
by all railroads was 573.S32. The ton
mage per mile Of lire for 1900 is 7 100
An increase in the density Of freigh
ira fife OF over 30 per cent in four years.
This CRAFTY ing result has been accom-
ished. in. the opinion Of the statistioians
OF lhc department. through the adoption
OF cars ct larger tonnage capacity and
the employment OF heavier locomotives.
Through these costly improvements the
railway companies have been enabled
to handle the business offered them in a
season OF unprecedented business activi-
~ and at the same time add largely 20
the net earning power of their lines.

In is not the support of its insane
wards which costs New York so much.
but the support Of the hospital officials.
Governor Odell has learned that i, is a
custom for the supeiintenoenis and ply
sicians to feed on strawberries out OF
ST ason at 81 quart. and brook trout
at 81 pound. Even such luxuries. how
ever. could not make the cost as great
as il has been. Contracts for unnecessary
work. actual steslngs. swindling in the
purchase OF coal, etc, eat up the appro-
priations, 1t would be cheaper to board
the insane a; good hotel than to main
tain them under the system of local
boards.

knowledge OF the man, his character.

Bigelow which appears in Tie Ontlook

.'Sailor Prince" las he calls him) when
the two were boys, and he found him
then as he is now, sympathetic. simple

POLITICAL SITUATION IN ANNE
ARUNDEL,

THINGS political in this county are
very much mixed They always have
been mixed, more or less but they seem
to be little more mixed now than here
tofore. There is faction and faction ard
there is a continual antagonism going
on. The whole thing is wrong in spirit.
and they should get together and reason
like men. and not be going around with a
chip on their hat. and a threatening look
at the other follow. The Governor in
making his political appointments for
this county has stirred up a hornets
nest. by Ignoring the present organiza.
lion OF the party in this county, ard some
one is apt to get stung before the II after
ends.
He has completely sat on DIR. Wells
and his followers, and they are told. il
not in words in actions. to 90 way back
and squat. Now the question is will
they do it. We think not. DIR. Wells is
a fighter frtm way back. and he is not
very easy knocked out He also has a
large following. which must be given
some consideration. or there will be
trouble in the camp. The whole gist Of
the matter is too much consideration has
been given to the State leaders in Anne
Aturdel politics, instead of the local or
ganization Of the county. Anne AruT-
del has been in time, to the party, Its
masses. and has saveditIrom ignon,inious
defeat. and its present organization
should have received some consideration
from the appointing power.
