THE EASTERN WAR.

The people of this vicinity have been
so enwrapped with our home affairs
during the past two weeks that they
are apparently not aware Of the fact
that a great world war is now in pro-
gress. When we say world war there
is no telling what complications may
grow out of the present status, as it
is hard to tell just what position the
present neutral nations will be com
PEELED to occupy in order to preserve
their dignity and honor. The battles
are now being waged between Japan
and Russia and from the present war
dispatches it would seem that the
former has the decided advantage.
The people of this country seem to
side with the japanese. Asa matter
of course, this is no more than natural
when we remember that many their
war experts and statesmen have been
educated in this country. Japan now
has an active army of over half a
million of men, and with the aid OF
its battleships and cruisers, is giving
Russia all that it can stand. OF
course, it is a much smaller nation
and the Russians have almost I'LL
limited resources which they can
bring to their aid, Nevertheless from
present appearances it looks as if
Japan will win out.

THE BALTIMORE FIRE.

The people Of Baltimore City are
commencing to recover from the eff
feet of one of the most fearful fires
that has ever taken place in recent
years. As has heretofore been out
lined, almost the entire business dis
trict was destroyed, the fire being
beyond control for nearly two days.
The merchants who were left with
out roofs on their places of business
have quickly sought other quarters
and the papers now teen with adver-
tisements showing temporary loca-
tions. 1t is said that nearly all of
the insurance companies will be able
to pay out in full, and if this is the
case it will serve in a measure to dis
tribute the loss and not make it fall
so heavily upon the individuals.
Viewed in the most optimistic man
ner, the blow is a serious one to the
business interests of one of the largest
cities in the United States. While con-
sentative, in several respects, Balti-
more is the leading producing city in
the Union; especially is this true of
the manufacture of clothing, and
many of these large establishments
have been wiped out. rhe loss to a
number of the large buildings will
not be SO great as was at first anti
cipated Nearly all ofthe fire proof
structures are still standing and it is
claimed that most of them can be re-
paired at a reasonable cost.
On Saturday, a number of commit
tees were named to cooperate with
the authorities in the rebuilding of
the burnt district. 1t is now pro-
posed to make some radical changes,
which will include several small
squares, and the widening Of a num-
Der of important streets. While this
will work hardship on individuals, it
cannot fail to aid the future pros
perity ofthe place, and commensurate
damages should be paid by the au-
thorities to those who will be affected
AS an instance of what may be done
it is proposed to make a public square
Of that portion bounded by Calvert.
Baltimore, North and Fayette streets.
These squares judiciously distributed
will in a measure check future eonha-
grations, should such calamities again
visit our Metropolis.
In the meantime the building i'll
spector is issuing no permits to re-
build or repair buildings in the burnt
district. 1t is proposed to proceed
cautiously i'll this particular until Il
decision has been reached as to what
will be the best interests of the city
looking to the future generations to
come. The people of Baltimore have
an opportunity to endow those that
are to follow with a we'll outlined
business district and the chance will
probably never occur when these inn
provements can be made at such a
small cost. 1t is too valuable All OPP
portunity to be neglected.
Too much praise cannot be accord
ed to the progressive spirit shown
BY those whose business places were

LENT.

Wednesday marked the beginning
of Lent, and for the next forty days
the members of many Christian de-
nominations will observe this season
of fasting and prayer i'll commeno-
ration of the acts of our Saviour for
the same period preceding his cruel
fxion. The observance of Lent has
each wear become more and more
general until now there is hardly a
church that does not in some manner
commemorate, with appropriate ser
vices, at least one of the severaldays
that are particularly set aside and
held sacred, as the time that our
Lord celebrated fitting events to pre-
cede his departure from this world of
flesh, and resume His spiritual posi-
ton.
To many it will be regarded as a
necessary ime to deny ones self OF
some particular luxury, but this is
not by any means full observance
of the most solemn period of the
church calendar. 1t is intended to
be time for special prayer and
searching examination into the in
most recesses of the conscience. To
use a commercial phrase, it is the
time when a personal trial balance
should be taken. While some more
than others, yet there is no one, but
who will find that the sinful side ofhu-
man nature far outweighs the good
work accomplished. Let every soul
come out of this ordeal rehabilitated
the better to stand the future temp
tations of the world. 1t is a solemn
period and one that every Christian
should observe in the manner that
his conscience dictates.

So lady injured by thetifc OptItnis'
tic views are on the lips oI everyone,
and all are predicting that ultimate
good will follow the effect of the fire.
Business houses promise the erection
of more modern structures, and the
people seem to have - move on
them" such as has never been seen
before. Ii seems to be ''in the air,
this feeling of progressiveness, and
everyone is imbuetl with the hope of
as quickly as possible getting back
into old lines with modern ideas i'll
terwoven in the old spirit Of conser-
vativeness, for which Baltimore has
long been noted.
AN UNWARRAN7-ED ATTACK.
y most unwarranted attack was
made last week by one of the news
papers of Baltimore on Brigadier
General Riggs, who is i'll command
Of the State Militia, which is now
doing duty at the Baltimore City
fire. The onus Of the charge, so far
as the public has been able to gather,
seems to be that General Riggs in the
exercise of his authority declined to
grant this particular paper more
than ten passes for its reporters
when its representative asked for
thirty-five. 1t is not our province to
inquire specially into this complaint,
but every ight-thinking person will
not hesitate to condemn any public
servant, such as the proper news
paper aims to be, i'll an attempt to
bring into disrepute or disrespect the
executive head of a police force which
has for its object the guarding of the
ruins where millions otdollars worth
property are exposed. It was i'll
timed, unfoktunate, and we may go
further and say, a display ofvery bad
taste that such publications were
made. The Legislature of Maryland
also made an unfortunate slip up,
but soon realizing the righteousness
gifts position, took hasty steps to
make amends for its hastv action.
We congratulate the members on the
sober second thought displayed, and
think that they set most excellent
example that the aforesaid news
paper could with propriety follow.
The military encanpment at Bel
Air last summer was i'll charge of
General Riggs, and those who have
had occasion to come in contact with
him can testify to his sound iudg.
ment, modest soldierly bearing and
military department. In this trying
time, Baltimore City should indeed
be congratulated for being so fortu'
nate as to have such a man in charge.
SO far as can belearned not a penny's
worth of looting has been done.
This is in marked contract with the
history Of other calamities where
thieves have piled their vocations
without interruption. There is no
question but what Baltimore's con-
Aagration has also attracted them,
but the excellent military service
rendered by our boys under the
direction of General Riggs has
thwarted any opportunity for
plumber.

USELESS LEGISLATION.

Elsewhere in our columns mention
is made of a bill introduced in the
legislature this week compelling the
Maryland and Pennsylvania Rail-
road to place fagnen at their cross
ings in Baltimore and Hartford coun-
ties. Without entering into the
particular merits of the bill, it would
seem to be usless legislation to pass
this measure in view of the fact that
under the general law the County
Commissioners Of each county of the
State have ample power to require
gates and hagmen at any railroad
crossing that in their Judgment may
require this protection. The reason
for this particular bill is therefore IN
apparent unless there is feeling that
the County Commissioners are not
doing their duty. In fact it could be
constructed in no other manner than
a reflection upon the present members
of the board, unless there is a motive
not apparent to the public.
The Maryland and Pennsylvania
Railroad is an enterprise absolutely
necessary for the development of the
upper portion of Hartford. It's now
being run at a loss, for every dollar
earned, indirectly finds its way back
into betterments. Thepresent General
Manager Mr.. ], S. Norris is attempt
ing to give the people ofupper Har
ford safe quick, reliable service, and
he should not be hampered by legis-
lation unless it has the backing Of
public sen timent and is necessary for
the people.
