Got It All Planned Already.


Under the act passed at the recent session of
the Legislature the Second Congressional dis
trict is composed of Hartford, Baltimore and
Carroll counties and the 18th and 10th wards of
Baltimore city. Cecil county, formerly be-
longing to the district is now part of the first
or Eastern Shore district, and two wards of
Baltimore city have been eliminated from the
district and two districts of Baltimore county,
formerly in the Fifth district, have been added,
At the election last fall, on the vote of Comp
troller, Carroll gave a Democratic majority
OF 49, Baltimore county 1.245 and Hartford
830-total 2,224. The 18th ward of Baltimore
city returned Republican majority of 237 and
the 10Th ward 240-total AIT. This would in
dictate Democratic majority in the district OF
about l $50. This majority will appear should
the Democrats nominate the right kind OF
man-an able man, a clean man, and one who
has not been standing office-holder or can
didate for office, and therefore one of whom
the people have not grown tired. Charles K.
Fink, of Westminster, is gentleman who fills
all these requirements, and it is very probable
the Democracy of Carroll will present his
name to the district convention, should he
consent to allow it to be done. He is not
candidate but we have no doubt he would &C.
ceptthe nomination iftendered him, and mary
of his personal friends are already talking of
his fitness for Congress and his ability to carry
the district. The last Representative from
Carroll was Hon. Frank T. Shaw, whose
second term expired thirteen years ago. Since
then Hartford county has had Democratic
Representative in Hon. Herman Stump for
two terms, and Baltimore county had Dem
ocratic Representative one term in Hon. J.
Fred. G. Talbot For the past four Congress
sional elections the Republicans have carried
the district-for three terms by Baker, of Har-
ford, and the last time by Blakeney. of Balti-
more county. The latter's majority was very
slender and Mr.. Fink's friends believe that he
can easily carry the district over Blakeney,
who will be renominated.

Trees Are Real Treasures.
piffeI7t,o Past


Time changes all things, and time is chang
ing the public and private estimate of trees in
this country. When the pioneers came upon
a vast wilderness the trees were as much op-
posed to their making comfortable livelihoods
as were the copper-skinned savages They
made war upon the forest with more zeal than
judgment; they slaughtered and laid waste.
With such beginnings of the people their con-
stituted authorities have been slow to make
laws for the protection of mere trees though
gradually the worth of the latter have come to
be understood by many.
Old trees soon will be held, as they should
be, to be sacred, and young trees as something
to be encouraged, fostered and trained in the
way they should go. 1t is only few years
since DR.. Marshall, of this state, astonished
the public By bringing suit against telephone
company for hacking branches off some state
ly trees because they interfered with the
stringing or proper insulation of its wires
The courts sustained the Doctors contention
that ancient trees are treasures. The telephone
company will not soon forget the fact, for it
was compelled to pay smartly for the destruc-
ton wrought.
In Peekskill, n. Y, the owner of some fine
old trees cut down to facilitate some alleged
road improvement has sued the municipality
for $1,000 damages, which he says cannot COM
pensate him for the severance of old associa-
tons, but covers only the property loss The
people of Vineland, n. j., have made war upon
a trolley company, which, when given the
privilege to occupy a certain street graced by
spreading branches, at once ordered the trees
cut down. II appears probable the courts will
sustain the people.

A LETTER from Washington says that for
the first time since President Arthur's admin
istration the old White House is to have a
thorough renovation on artistic lines. So heavy
has grown the list of favored guests in the
Roosevelt household that they have found it
necessary to have recourse to the East Room
as diningroom, which was of the original
design of the house. One feature of the plan
of renovation is to turn this room into state
dining-room, involving transformation of
the decorations into those of the colonial style,
with open freplaces. The present oldfash-
toned flooring will give place to new parquet
floor of hard polished woods, and an enormous
rug specially designed to suit the decorative
scheme of the room will be woven in one piece
so that the room may easily be turned into
ballroom The entrance hall of the house
also is to be renovated. There is need for adj
ditions for lighting facilities, and also for
staircase to the attic. Much new furniture of
modern style is required. To defray the ex-
pense of this undertaking an estimate of about
$50. 900 has been submitted to Congress.

A LETTER from Mr.. r. Grason George. of the
Towson bar, pointing out some of the short
comings of the late session of the Maryland

COMMENTING EDIToRIALLY on the extra ses-
sion of the Maryland Legislature held this
week the Baltimore american says: I'm the
whole of this matter there is only one feature
upon which the people may congratulate
themselves That is that the extra session
was so soon done for For that thanks are
due not to the Democrats, but to the combina-
ton of Republicans and Independents, who
determined the session should last only one
day, and who had their way, The closeness
of the vote upon Mr.. Straus' order AS to 47)
shows that, but for that combination, the
State would have been even more seriously
afflicted, As it is the extra session will stand
as a monument to Democratic carelessness and
incompetency in the Legislature. 1t should
never have been required; that it was neces-
sary constitutes an indictment under which
the majority cannot escape conviction"

A TREASURY DEPARTMENT statistician says
that the consumption of flour in the United
States is about one barrel per year to every
man, woman and child in the country. Min
nesota has 307 mills and can turn out about
10000 barrels day. The big mills of the
city of Minneapolis produce over one-sixth of
the -four consumed by our entire population.
This is significant. The well-fed nation is the
strong and happy one. The poor black bread
eaten by the common people of Continental
Europe measures their prosperity and social
condition.

AMERICAN METHODS are illustrated by the
fact that while 100 tons is a load for an Eng
lish freight train, an average load on one of
our railroads last year was $40 tons. On two
British railroads it costs from 481 cents to 81 SO
to move ton of freight one mile, while the
cost on a leading New York road is 233 cents
mile. No wonder the European world is wax
ing up to these marked differences.
