The Hannah oyster Bill.

The Baltimore Sun in recent editorial
urging the enactment into law by the
Legislature of bills which will be of the
greatest benefit to the State. gives high
place to the Hannah Oyster bill, as will be
seen by the following extract:
1.-The Haman Oyster bill proposes the
development of one of the great industries
of the State-an industry upon which
thousands of Marylanders depend for a
livelihood. 1t presents the only scientific,
practical and effectual method by which
this industry can be saved from ultimate
destruction. It will, if enacted, as it
ought to be if legislators realize the vital
economic principle involved, add enor-
mously to the wealth of the State. 1t
will bring under cultivation the barren
oyster bottoms of the Chesapeake and its
tributaries. 1t will assure an abundant
and unfailing supply of food product
for which there is an iuexhaustible de-
mand. 1t will furnish employment for
many thousands of persons in addition to
those who are now engaged in the indus
try in one or the other of its various
forms. 1t will, by increasing the supply
of oysters, promote the development Of
the packing industry. Packers will noi
be compelled to go to other States. thus
depriving Maryland of the capital and
enterprise so greatly needed at home. Il
will not be necessary to buy oyster:
elsewhere for packing in Maryland. A:
an economic proposition the Haman bill
is unassailable. 1t is so simple in its pro
visions and based upon such sound prin
ciples that it is difficult to understand
how any legislator sincerely interested il
the welfare of the State can fail to sup
port it. 1t proposes to convert barre 1
bottoms in the Chesapeake into a sour,
of wealth TO the State to employ the rev
enue thus secured for the benefit of th'
people of the whole State; to save from
destruction an industry which, if prop
erly developed, will be forever a source o
profit to the army of workers who will b.
employed in dredging, transporting ant
packing oysters. This is what the Hamai
bill means to Maryland"

W. J. Bryan, who has but recently re-
turned from a tour of several of the
European countries, is publishing series
of interesting letters on his travels and
observations. The little republic of
Switzerland he says is the most demo-
cratic government on earth. In that
country the government owns nearly all
of the railroads and the initiative and ref
erendum is so we'll established that the
politician is not able to defeat the pur-
pose of the people in the enactment of
laws. If the people of this country ruled
by direct legislation, in place of allowing
this privilege to be usurped by the pol
iticians, railroads and all other public
service corporations would now be under
government control, in place of the gov
eminent being controlled by these gigan-
tic trusts, as is the case at present.

Japan Wants More Territory.

Japan in her war with Russia is
playing for big stake, as in view
of her limited area of .cultivable
lands, the high birth rate and
rapid rise in standards of living,
pressure of population is ire
mendous and overflow inevitable,
hence her desire to acquire addi-
tional territory.
When Russia forced France and
Germany to cede Manchuria back
to China, Japan pressed for a
stipulation in the treaty with
China, pledging China not in future
to cede any of the territory in ques-
ton to any other foreign Power.
Russia, with the effective support
of France and Germany, success
fully opposed the insertion of such
a stipulation.
Already number of japanese
enterprises are established in that
territory, now gripped by Russia.
An extensive commerce with these
regions, the expansion of Japanese
enterprises and the settlement of
numerous japanese emigrants in
them are cherished aspirations of
Japan. Should the territory pass
under the recognized sovereignty
of Russia, these hopes must die, for
the Russian barriers against foreign
enterprise, foreign settlement and
foreign trade will be scarcely less
exclusive than the erstwhile
Chinese barriers.
classification of these regions
means practical closing to Japan
of her nearest and best market.
These markets are regarded by
Japan as indispensable to her COM
mercial and industrial future.
Distance, lack OF capital and ex-
perience make rather hopeless for
the Japanese competition in
European and American markets
in those industries which they
have learned from Europeans and
Americans. China is nearby.
Japan knows the tastes, the
language, the business methods,
the psychology of the Chinese.
She can produce cheaply the things
which Chinese wish. In nearness
and in knowledge she has an i'm
mense advantage over Westerners
in trading with them. To her and
to China the benefits would be
mutual.

We see much in the old party papers
about "populistic vagaries" and hear
would be political wiseacres glibly max
ing use of the term when they attempt to
decry some reform with which they are
not familiar, it being much easier to
resort to ridicule than combat with ar
gument any new political question which,
threatens to lead the people away from
. the time honored and thread bare tariff
and similar issues, which have been the
stock in trade of the monopolistic press
for years and years One of these popu-
listic vagaries which as an established
fact is ever growing in popularity in the
farming districts. is the rural free delivery
postal service. Hon. Thomas E. Watson,
a populist member of congress from
Georgia, is the father of the system, as he
introduced the bill and secured the first
appropriation for it.
All reforms which threaten a radical
harture from old methods are bitterly
assailed by the subsidized monopolistic
press, which is one of the best criterions
that they would benefit the people, and
it is pity that more of these 'vagaries"
are not enacted into laws.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Some six weeks having been consum-

loan-gift to the ST. Louis Fair, the pay of

way to speedy settlement, Congress will

adjourn. 1t is not anticipated, however,
that early adjournment will take place,
since both republicans and democrats
realize that the national capital presents
lofty platform from which to indulge in
partisan debates. And if the service
pension bill, anti-injunction bill. eight
hour bill, and the Foraker bill to per-

before Congress, they are sure to produce

Des Moines, Nov. At is now gen
orally conceded that the corn crop of
this state will be somewhere near
three hundred million bushels, although
late reports from all over the state in
dictate that the yield will be much
more than first expected. 1t is gener-
ally admitted also that the husking or
gathering season does not exceed sixty
days, or from October 20 to December
20, so that on an average five million
bushels Of corn will go into Iowa corn
cribs each day of this gathering sea-
son. Nor is it unreasonable to sup
pose that on some certain day before
December 1, when the weather is good
and the ground dry, more than ten mil
lion bushels will be husked and cribbed
in twelve hours If each corn husker
husks an average of sixty bushels each
per day during the season of sixty
days, it would require an army of not
less than 1885 men to properly save
this crop. For many days during
husking time more than twice this
number will be busy. These figures
