Constitutional Convention Will Not
 Be Called by Democrats.

Annapolis Special to Baltimore suu.
 The Democratic members of the Legis- iature in caucus here tonight decided to reach the desired end of suffrage restric- ton by means of constitutional amend ment and not through constitutional convention.
 It has been expected that convention would be decided upon and MT. John F. Foe had drawn a bill providing for one. The bill is here, in shape to be presented, but 1t will be carefully laid away. It pro- vtded for Q special election on the second Wednesday in March to choose delegates to constitutional convention and that the convention should meet in Annapolis on the second Wednesday in May. MT. Poe was in the State House tonight but he was not invited into the caucus.
 At one time the plan for a constitutional convention was much in favor, but upon sober second thought of the organization leaders the risk of the plan was deemed too great. The risk Is. first, that the bill may be defeated and that would injure the prestige of the organizations; second, Republicans might elect a majority of the delegates and put such constitution upon the State as the Democrats would not like. It is believed that all the office- holding classes would oppose a conven- ton, and that they would be reinforced ny the main body of the Republican par " as well as by the most powerful cor

 Our esteemed contemporary, The Mont gomery Advertiser, in its recent editorial incursions upon scientific topics, has main tained it's usual standard of sound logic in this some what unusual editorial fled, and ably demonstrates the versatility and wide range of knowledge required of our brethren of the big daiies. In It's dis cussion of the probability of human egs disappearing it clearly sets forth the Biogenetic law SS the perpetuation of the species through the effects of ataVi m and varia bility upon the ccnd tions of life, and points out such conditions as Will have tendencies toward averting direful physi- cal calami;ies from the human race of few Eons hence.
 At a later date, it turns its attention from the tisld of speculative biology to that of alchemy, and deals with a subject that has been the recipient of more or less attention from the time of Zosimus to that of Prout and even to the present date-that of the transmission of the baser metals into gold-being led into this by the suggestion that the discovery of radium has solved the secret. If in- deed, the suggested possibilities of the discovery shoud materailize, the picture drawn of the revolution that would be in- augurated Is only too true.
 However. to touch again upon the main idea, if such there is in this writing, 1t Is hard to down an up-to-date newspaper man, and we have the greatest admira- tion and respect for tho vers tilitv and adaptibility of The Advertisers scribe. Long life and prosperity to Grandma!

 man. and said various nice things of and about him. but now listen:
 But when MT. oiney chose the occasion Sratui,ousiy a exploit s1Sre Sr. cisvsiand as the one man to lead the Democratic hosts next year. he deliberately linked hims slf to the corpse of Clevelandisnn, and the in the same grave. To attempt to con sowed the seed of irreconcilable strife party f cannot afford to % overlook. MT. ol- ney has proved himself too tn 1roughiy In sympathy with the ideas and aims for which MT. Cleveland stands. and whi,h ly repudiated. By his own utterance he has cut himself off from the possibility or Democratic endorsement and support The Democratic party will never hx It's ture, can point his party to nothing better than d repudiated leader whose very name rouses the bitterest antipathies and stands convicted of the unpardonabie sin in Democratic eyes. that of trying to fas- ten upon his party the burden and hu- initiation of the past. Democrats will never be caught in that trap again, and they will have none of MT. olney.
 Alasi also. aiack-a-day. Little did MT. oiney think that his words of truth and soberness. his unseifsh devotion to a good friend and sound Democrat would knock all the props from under his own feet. Tn pointing to Mir. Cleveland as the man to lead Democracy he lost sight of his own interests and. like the Democrat and the patriot he undoubtedly is. he was regarding only the best interests of the party and of the country. He was speak, ing of the man best qualified to lead the Democratic party and best fitted to take the place of the cratic parsonage now steering the wabbly ship of State no one can tell where.
 But he ''has cut himself off." The par ty will never fix its choice'' on him any more forever and we must look else- where. We confess to a strong liking for Mir. olney. In many respects he is sec- ond only to Cleveland in statesmanship. while he stands by his side in honesty, reliability and Democracy. MT. olney is not from a Democratic State but he is from State which gave a Republican plurality of 2s,oOo in 1892 when Cleveland was a candidate. and 17soOo in 1896 when Bryan ran. The News may not like to contemplate those figures, but they are the record. It might be that MT. olney could carry the State, but as he has been turned down. there's no more to be said. It is very sad.

BOTH SIDES DIsAPPoINTED.

The Jackson Day dinner n New Haven last Monday night had for it's principal attraction Hon. W. J. Bryan. His speech was distinct disappointment to two classes of his hearers. There were a few radicals present who can see nothing ex- cept through free silver glasses. and who expected MT Bryan to make another crown of thorns. cross of gold speech. On the other hand there were present genuine sound money Democrats who are tired of dissension and want to see the party get together on sound Democratic principles. and they feared, as the other side hoped. that the speaker would make regular campaign speech along the same lines which he has followed SO long.
 Both sides were very much disappoint- ed. for nothing was said to encourage the silver extremists or to offend the others. In fact. there was no politics in the ad- dress. as the term ia generally understood for 1t was really lecture. without q shadow of political signiicance. Perhaps The New Haven Register gives the fair est view of it. saying: Whether. as seems to us, Mir. Bryan has improved as a public speaker may be evening nothing was said that could of- fend a single one of his hearers His subject was not political and his bearing was not partisan. He spoke simply of the ideals of life. and eloquentiy because he spoke simply. It would be an exag. geration to say that he presented new thoughts and new convictions Practical ly everything he said has been said over and over again from a thousand pulpits, and are today resting in the pages of a hundred books of essays. but he said them which held the attention and interest of his hearers.

rHRER NEw 1NsTANcEs.

Some funny things crop out In counec- klnn with the unions-funny from one standpoint, and pitifuIly absurd from oth- CTS. For example. up in the town of Poughkeepsie a man who belonged to one Of the unions allowed his brother to shave him. either because he couldn't shave himself or because he couldn't afford to pay a barber. Whatever may have been the cause he was fined by his union be- cause his brother was not a member of the barber's union of the town Now, if the man is not able to pay a barber he must learn to shave himself or go un- member of a union. will be allowed to scrape his own countenance Win not his union require him to patronize the union barbers, whether he can afford 1t or not |?
 Some days ago a gentleman in Philadel- phia gave an entertainment to some friends. and walters being too few. or be- cause he wanted to be unusually polite to bis guests. he undertook to assist the pro- fessional walters. Inis might look to an ordinary person of sense like a harmless and inoHensive amusement but it wasn't. All the regular walters and cooks belong to unions and the gentleman was some what abruptly informed that unless he at once dropped the waiting business all his employes would strike and leave him without cooks. walters or any other help Of course he obeyed orders because there was no alternative.
 Here. too. we see room for a whole lot of trouble. If a gentleman invites a lady Co lunch at a restaurant would he be al- lowed to hand her an Ice, a cup of tea or . glass of wine unless he holds a card in walters union? If a lady becomes thirsty at an entertainment may the gem fleman procure a glass of water for her if he isn't union branded2 Finally, will the host and hostess at their own table be suffered to pass dishes to their guests without exhibiting the union label? These may sound like funny questions but they are not, when we read of some things that occur.
 Just one more recent instance is worthy of mention. In New Jersey town a man found that there was a leak in the roof of his house which required attention. Hav- ing some knowledge of such things he mounted the roof and was proceeding to repair 1t when unfortunately for him a walking delegate of some roofers union passed and saw him. He was not a mem- Der of their union and the delegate promptly called him down for violation of unionism. He had to submit or he might have been fined and suspended by his union.
 Such incidents as these may at first view be considered funny. but they are not when we get down to the real Sienif. canoe of such humiliating conditions They indicate that the time will soon come if people continue to be submissive when men and women will be debarreo from rendering a service or a courtesy to others unless they can show their union card The American people may surren- der all their right of independent action but it is hard to believe it. notw1thstand- inK the evidences on every hand.

 Washington Special to New Orleans
 Times-Democrat. South and West to do exactly what New York wants led to the great outbreak of Parker talk at the meeting of the Committee. and to the continuance of that talk: Parker was was the favorite nis m all con
 The men who talked for Parker did so because they thought Parker Is the man New York wants. It was a. curious ana partially hysterical situation. If Murphy or some other leading Democrats from New York had stood up on the counter in the hotel lobby and shouted that New York wanted Cleveland or German or any other man who has been mentioned for the nomination the talk would have shift ed to that man instantly, and he would have become as much of a leader in the discussion as Parker has been during the two days the committeemhen have been here.
 New York is the State inquired about. New York is held to be the key to the situation. New York can have anything the Democracy can give, and the Demoe- racy as represented here by the nauonai committeeman look to Murphy to make the request or name the conditions.
 It happens that the committeeman are wrong. Murphy is not for Parker. He said last night he would S be TOT no man
 
 That would never do." said Murphy: "Hill win never be dead until he is buried and a stone erected over him.
 Murphy's ostensible candidate at the present time is Grover Cleveland. He is much impressed with the strength of the ex-President, and thinks it would be good politics to nominate him. There are peo- pie claiming to be in the confidence of Murphy who say this Cleveland idea is a cloak for the ambitions he has for Mayor Mcclellan.
 wouldn't George look we'll in there2" asked Murphy when he was walking by the White House today.
 Still others claiming to be just as close to Murphy, say he really Is for Cleveland, and that To thinks Mcclellan can walt, or perhaps take the nomination for Governor after his tune exolre1 as Mayor.
 Workers say, that whether Murphy really is for Cleveland or only Is using him for a stalking horse, the news will come out, suggested by Murphy, within few weeks, that Murphy warts Cleveland. The an- nounc emert will be made at what Mur- will wait to see what turns up. Murphy has an ambition to be President-maker after the style of Hanna. If he really | is for Cleveland he will have hard work 1 to get an agreement with Bryan. There is no doubt that Murphy is the man the Democrats who have the con- 1 trCl of the organization in the various | states are waiting on. He Is the import ant factor at the present time. The Chi. | cago men are angry because they lost the convention. and assert what Is the truth | that the deal was made to take it to St. Louis to escape the possible packing oi | the convention in favor of the candidate who is making the most noise. They say | they will cast everything aside and come out for Marshall Field.

The country shows the real American spirit in accept ing the situation. One cause of this feel ing Is the relief that the uncertainty is ended, as when a tariff bill Is pending In Congress, definite action, though unfavor- able, is better than continued agitation without action. High hopes at times have been held of the waterway, but this being impossible, Nicaragua proceeds to other means of material development waterway was in prospect It Is likely that one of the first measures will be to build the railroad from point on the existing line between Managua and Blueiields, on the Atlantic. The distance Is not more than l 0 miles. When this extension is, made there will be an inter Pacific. Also there will be fewer reyolu- ttons, These movements, usually have their origin in the Blueflelds district, be- cause of the ease with which they can be maintained owing to the lack of means of communication with the rest of the country Great natural wealth will be opened up and national policy will be advanced while the canal was thought to be possible.
