hensive review Of the tariff history of the
country, his main proposition being that
whenever the American people had an
opportunity to pass upon the tariff ques-
ton unipfluenc5d by other issues they
had invariably Endorsed the Democratic
positio n, and that the history Of the tariff
since the rise of the Republican party
showed cnnclusively that the country
could never expect an effective revision
from that party.
The speaker ana yz-d the Wilson tariff
act of 1894, declaring that it has been an
earnest and effective revision of the then
existing tariff H quoted from Johnson
and Tausig to show that the panic of ten
years ago had no relation to the Wilson
bill or Democratic ascendancy. He said
that but for the Democratic defeat result
ing on account of the concurrence of this
panic with the Wilson bill, gradual and
benefic'ent teduc ion W ,uld have occurr-
ed until proper level was reached, as
had been the case with Dem cratic tariff
| legislation from 1888 to 1912 and from
1916 to 1857.
Mr.. Sheppard stated that the civil war
was the source IF the present tariff sys-

great period in American tariff history.

extent that would have been impossible
in peace. No attempt was made to reim-
burse other classes who had similarly
suffered After the war the internal ia xes
rates remained and have continued with
gradual increase until tie present time,
Mr. 81. rpard then traced the various
measures hy which the republican party
pretended to revise the tariff until 1890,
when he declar l. it threw off the mask
anu Increased the war duties from 10 to
so per cent. The Dingley bill Of 1897
made still higher increase and "laid
upon the American people the highest
tariff tax clvilZ ition has ever known
In c,.ucluslol, Mr.. Sheppard said that
since tie enactment of the Dngley bill
the demands for revision had multiplied.
The American people have ceased to
plead; they have begun to frown," he de-
clared He said that through Republican
legislation the protected interests had per
petuated and augmented the emergency
rates of the frightful conflict of four de-
cades ago. Referring to the present
stand pat" policy. he said that if this
Republican doctrine of inertia had in the
past prevailed, no light of progress would
have fallen on. the years, and darkness
still would cloak the centuries" and that

There is not a public interest in
volved in the proposition to give
American ship owners monopoly OF
the Philippine business, says the Alex
ander Gazette, except on the theory
that it is a public interest to enable
some Americans to make more money
than they would otherwise. If the
money were to be made out Of foreign
ers, this proposition might be sustain
ed, but much of the money that Amer
leans would make would be taken
from other Americans. A large part
of the time of Congress and its CON-
mittees is taken up in trying to decide
how far to allow one set of Americans
to prey upon some other set. That
has come to be regarded as the chief
function of the government. So far
as public. interests are affected-the
interests of the government or of the
people as whole-they are on the
side of an open field and natural CON-
petition.

MORE MONEY ASKED FOR
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Mr.. NJ. Bates Stephens, state supinten-
dent of public instruction, carried to An
napolis Monday the amended bill favored
by the state board of education, which
is designed to bring about many changes
in the existing school system.
1t is proposed that the state board shall
consist of six members, two to retire every
two years. The board will be appointed
by the Governor. The bill increases the
state tax rate from 10! cents to Is cents
on the 500 for public school purposes.
With the increased revenue thus derived
it is proposed to keep the schools open in
every county of the state except Garrett
nine months in the year, and to make
$500 the minimum salary of teachers. In
Garrett county the school year is TO con-
sist Of seven months and the minimum
pay for teachers is to be $500 per annum
Iu the distribution of the school fund
by the state comptroller, the amount
which each county and Baltimore city
will receive will be determined by the
scHool population "lIHouI IelelehCe "
color of children. The word "colored"
is eliminated in the new bill, and county
school boards are given authority to de
termine the length of the year for colored
schools. The county boards are also
given authority to consolidate schools and
to transport children to schoolhouses.
The normal school at FrOStburG an
the school connected with Washington
college are placed under the supervis ion
of the state board of education. The to-
tai appropriation asked for the normal
schools is $31 900 per annum

In the death of Mr.. Edwin F A bell,

In the death of Mr.. Edwin F. Abel
senior proprietor of the Baltimore
"Sun" and the last surviving son of
the founder of that journal, the State
has sustained the less Of a useful and
respected citizen. 1t is said that in
the purity and beauty of his private
life he was a pattern +; and his gener-
GUS deeds and patriotic devotion to
his city and State mark him as man
of noble character. The great journal
which he directed was his pride,
and through it he exercised much in
luence in public affairs. His death is
deeply lamented by a host of friends
and admirers.

BALTIMORE'S
OPPORTUNITY.

With great good sense the city
authorities of Baltimore, says the New
York MALI have decided to get what
good they may out of the fire that
swept away so many buildings and ob-
liberated so many streets, and to make
various changes that will in part re-
create the city. The broadening OF
thoroughfares in an old community is
usually an expensive operations; but
once in a while-as in Baltimore and
a few other places as. the result OF
great fres-it may be done at CON-
paratively small cost. The Baltimore
authorities show an appreciation OF
their duty in the plans they have
made Tor changing certain highways,
and the action they have taken argues
that the rebuilt city will be a great
Improvement over the old town.
A loan of $6,0OO,OO0 is to be made.
OF this amount one-half will he spent
buying some thirty-fve acres of water
front, occupied before the fire by lum
Der yards chiefly. Much of the re-
mainder will be spent in developing
the property, widening and s'raighten
ing the streets and erecting buildings
and piers from which the city will de-
rive a rental. About one-third OF the
burnt area will be affected by these
plans. 1t is possible that private
interests holding properly in the rest OF
the fire district may be moved to CO.
operate with the city in making SINH
lar change Of lines. At all events
the alteration will improve a large and
important section of the business dis
trict of Baltimore.
After Boston's great fire the recon
struction of the city pr, ceeded on the
old lines, with the result that the Hub
still has it's narrow, crooked streets,
and that changes now almost impera-
tive cannot be made because of their
huge expense. A great opportunity
was lost there. Baltimore is to be
congratulated on Selling the chance
which ill fortune offered, and out of its
trouble preparing to obtain advantage.

Baltimore can erect new and impos-
ing buildings and rise from her ashes
in all respects a finer and better city
But no human art, says tue Baltimore
American, can ever duplicate the old
historic landmarks which stood as a
connecting link with our former his
tory and which made Baltimore one
of the interesting cities of the nation
in it's associations with the early times
of the republic, when George Wash
ington stopped here on his journeys
and Lafayette was entertained.

The Wilson constitutional amend
ment bill providing for restricted
suffrage was the subject of debate in the
Senate Wednesday, and was passed to a
second reading. One amendment sub
mitted by Senator Wilson, was adopt
ed, several offered by Mr.. Mccullough
the Republican leader, and one from
Senator Palmer were defeated, and the
amendment of Senator Gill to substl-
tute the Bryan bill, which was also
voted down.

OYSTER BILL WILL
PASS, SAYS BAN \ n.

Mr.. B. Howard Hannah, who for the last
several years has been fathering bill for
the lease of the oyster beds in the Chesa
peake, feels sarguine that his bill, with
very few amendments, will be passed at
the pi eSent session Of the Legislature.
In speaking of the matter Mr.. Hannah
said: The present bill has no monopolis
tic features of any kind. The industry is
to be managed by the tidewater people,
as nobody can take up oyster lands under
county waters except holders Of land and
residents in the county.
"The Northern Marylan | counties, be-
ginning at Cecil and going west, and al
most the entire western part Of the state
and portions Of the southern section are
solid for the measure. The larger ma
jority of the Baltimore city delegates APP
pear to be favorable to the bill, too. Mr.
Murphy will take an active part in It's be
half and is at present working hard for it.
The feeling of the Eastern Shore is much
less intense than it was ever before tx
cept in few communities OF tongers,
where the opposition is still active, and
NAV saw violent, owing to the belief of
these tongcrs that the bill will deprive
their families of livelihood.
This idea was worked overtime IN the
last election, and several of the represen-
tatives of the Eastern Shore who were
| elected on this issue are greatly puzzled
| and troubled over their future attitude.

hand, who are opposed to the bill and the
farmers and progressive element on the
other hand, who are in favor of it, even in

the convenience of the world; and that
Panama, as province, 'owned' the
