LETTER FROM ANNAPOLIS.
STATE HOUSE, ANNAPOLIS,
January 9, 1902.


Special TO The Union.
Delegate E. Lynn Painter is undergoing the
agreeable process of being trained by the bosses
to be one of the leaders of the ring forces in the
House of Delegates and. as Chairman of the
Committee on Elections, will have his hands full
in satisfying his masters for, in order to please
them and render adequate payment for the
prominence they are giving him, he will be
obliged to do many things that may not rest
easy on his conscience. He will also be COM
PEELED to leave undone what may be equally
troublesome to one who has heretofore enjoyed
a reputation for independence and freedom
from dictation. Those who know Mr.. Painter
best. are, however, freely prophesying that his
alliance with the ring will not last long, and
that before the session is over he will have
found out what their Establishments are worth,
and how hollow and valueess is any promi~
hence they may be able to confer on him as a
member of the House.
The bosses are beginning to find they have an
elephant on their hands before the sessions ten
days old. They have started out to manage af-
fairs in the General Assembly in the old way, so
long dshonored and discredited under the Cor
man Raisin regime prior to 1895. The present
House is however. made up of new men, most
of them young, many of whom have been
brought up to think for themselves, and several
of whom voted for Mckinley. despite the fact
that they are Democrats. They do not like to
have others do their thinking, and few of them
have already broken away from their would be
masters. The indications are that before many
days have passed more of them will break away,
and it need surprise no one to see the House of
Delegates managed by a combination of the
younger men, made up of the best members of
both parties.
The county delegates are rather better look
ing than usual, and seem to be above the aver
age of Baltimore county representatives in
years past. How they will size up in ability
will be shown later on, as, with the exception OF
Mr.. Painter, they have not yet had an opportu-
nifty to say word. Mr.. Painter has not said
much. but it is evident that he is ready to make
himself heard when the occasion may present
itself. That the effort will be made to keep him
in line as one of the representatives of the
bosses, goes without saying and not few peo-
pie are rather curious to see how he will turn
out The general impression is that he has q
will of his own, and when he once gets his
Legislative legs,'' he may take matters in his
own hands and act for himself. At present
however, he is acting in full accord with the
ring, and he may conclude to do so to the end.

AN AGITATION is threatened by the ministers
of the Gospel throughout the country against
the Uniform of the navy chaplains as prescrib-
ed by the regulations because it is "grotesque
and a source of humiliation to its wearers."
The Rev. George E. Strobridge says that at the
naval review at the opening of the Kiel canal
the chaplain of the American ship was sent
below when the Emperor passed along the line
because of his absurd appearance.

THERE is one country in the world where
it is considered crime to smoke-Abyssinia.
The law forbidding tobacco dates from the
year 1872 1t was at first merely intended to
prevent priests from smoking in the churches,
but it was taken too literally, and nowadays
even foreigners have to be careful not to be
seen smoking. Truely, here is country ad-
mirably suited as a sanitarium for the cigarette

REPRESENTATIVE SMITH, of Michigan, has in
troduced bill in Congress making January
10Th, the anniversary of the birth of William
Mckinley, q national holiday. The enactment
of the bill into law would be perhaps the high
est tribute which the American people could
pay to the memory of one of their departed
Presidents. Such an honor, however, is rare
one and for Obvious reasons must be kept
rare. Washington alone has the honor now
all attempts to give the same to Lincoln hav-
ing failed. While all the land treasures the
memory of Mckinley, and while his name
will always be coupled with the Father of His
Country and the first martyred President, yet
there is a growing prejudice against making
more holidays. Only two or three are observed
generally, and the remainder close only the
banks, often to the inconvenience of business.
Such being the case it is doubtful if the bill
mentioned will ever get out of the committee

January 5th, l9O2.
Editors baltimore County Onion II thank you
gentlemen kindly in the name of the State Hor-
ticultura Society for your generous mention OF
the work in a recent issue. / believe that the
society is in good hands at the present time and
that the officers elected for the ensuing year are
going TO do all possible to make the society wor-
thy of our State, both in name and action. Otner
states have forged ahead along these lines and
do not see why Maryland should be behind in
the race as this organization stands for all that
will serve to bring those delicious fruits that
our State is capable of producing and, though
sometimes equaled, cannot be surpassed any
where in the world.
We hope to arouse public sentiment in its
favor, especially in Baltimore county, and with
the assistance of the vice president, Mr.. George
o. Brown, agricultural editor of the Baltimore
Sun. we expect to do so and thus teach and In
spire every man and woman that there Is nc
more nobler work in which they can engage than
the planting of trees, fruits and flowers and
thus assist in making our grand old State OF
Maryland one to be still further proud Of.
Respectfully yours,
