OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON, D. C., January OH.
Mr.. EDITOR Time was when grey
boards and bald heads ruled the United
States Senate. They are still there, but
the sceptre of influence has largely pass
ed to the very youngest member. The
wisdom which often comes of years AMI
experience is always potent, and for
thirty years the men whose word was law
in the Senate we're mostly graduates of
the Federal and Confederate arimes dur
ing the Civil War. They wore scars and
crutches. But the men who draw great
audiences to the galleries when it is an
nounced that they will speak are now
men who were very young babies in
arms during that period-fellows in the
roaring %forties" on the Republican side
Dolliver, (45) and Beverage, (41); on the
Democratic side, Carmack, (45) and Bailey
(40). Nothing finer or more spirited can
be heard in Congress than a di scussion in
which these are pitted against each other.
An apparent exception of young and
vigorous minds in aged tenements are
Hoar and Morgan, who, though old
enough to be the grandfathers of those

THENEW ADMINISTRATION

" Governor Warfield sounded the key
note of patriotism when he said in his
inaugural address that he would be
the chief magistrate of the whole peo-
pie, and strive to guard the interests
of every section of the State and every
class of her citizens. In the mind of
the true statesman there is no place
for partisanship, and, in fact, vindic-
~tiveness is always a mark Of a petty
character. Those who are morally
brave can be magnanimous without an
effort.
Another promise made by the new
Governor was that he would appoint
no man to public office who is not
thoroughly competent and reliable.
It may be sometimes difficult to do
this, and impositions are often prac-
ticed upon the appointing power. But
Governor Warfeid has high ideals: he
is 8. man Of affairs, a judge of men,
with considerable experience in public
matters; and we believe he will be able
to accomplish what be wishes in this
respect. His administration, there
fore, promises to be e%minently c
full, He is q man of patriotism-a
true son of Maryland; and no sacrifice
will be too great for him if necessary
to guard the best interests of the State.
A good beginning is generally a
guarantee of a happy end. The new
administration has begun under most
gracious auspices, and we extend to
the Governor our earnest congratula-
tions and best wishes for a happy and
successful term of Office.

M~AKYLAND'S

Having o the highest honors for
its state displays at the Pan-American
Exposition at Buffalo and at the South
ern Exposition at Charleston, the Ma
ryland Geological Survey proposes to
achieve another triumph at the Louisi-
ana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis
this year, says the Baltimore "Ameri-
can" A most advantageous position
in the Palace OF Metallurgy has been
secured, with abundant floor space,
and under direction of DR.. William B.
Clark, head of the survey, an exhibit is
now being prepared and is well-nigh
completed which will give an excellent
idea of Maryland's mineral resources,
and incidentally tell of the progressive
and successful work done under the
auspices of the State Survey.
Few realize either the value or the
extent OF these mineral deposits. Not
only is the state rich in its coal beds,
but it has extensive supplies Of granite,
gneiss, marble, limestone, sandstone,
slate and other rocks used in building
and commanding a good price in the
markets. Maryland clays and sands
are. of very superior quality and the
supply is large. In truth, there are few
states having a greater variety of USE
full minerals; few that al today offer
greater inducements for the further de-
velopment of these resources.
By directing attention to this subject
and giving ocular demonstration OF
.Maryland's claims by a well-arranged
exhibit the State Survey is proving
its value as a branch of the government
of. the commonwealth, and is issuing
an advertisement which cannot fail to
bring good results. The money expend
ed by the state for the work of the sur
vey is returned MANIFOLD in many ways.
For years Maryland was far behind it's
sister commonwealth in geological
work, but it is now counted a leader
and it's methods molels. No Mary.
lander who goes to the st. Louis Expo.
sition will find cause to blush at bis
states mineral exhibit. The Legislature
must decide whether it will allow the
state to do as well in other directions.

WAKEFIELD lNACGURATED.

Hon. Edwin Warield was inaugurated
as governor of Maryland Wednesday,
and, despite the inclement weather, there
was a vast multitude present from all
parts of the State to participate in the
ceremonies. The inaugural train arrived
in Annapolis from Baltimore at II a. m,
having on board the governor elect and
family, the veteran corps of the Fifth
Maryland Regiment, and a large COM
pany of distinguished citizens. The COVER
nor-elect was escorted to the executive
mansion by a legislative committee, &C
companied by officers of the National
Guard and two companies of State militia.
Thence the party proceeded to the State
house, where an immense audience listen
ed t O the addresses of the retiring COVER
nor, John Walter Smith, and Gov-elect
Warfield.
Gov. Varied declared that he would be
true to the promises and declarations
made by the Democratic party during the
campaign. These promises he
ted as ECONOMY in the expenditure OF
the peoples money; a speedy e%xtinguish-
ment of the State debt; amendments of
the election law to promote intelligent
voting, secure the secrecy of the ballot,
and preserve the purity of elections; that
the public schools of the State should be
further fostered; that the people should
have good public roads; that the supply
of the natural products of the Chesapeake
Bay should be increased; that a good
sewerage system for Baltimore City should
be constructed. and that the primary cleo
ton law should be extended to the whole
State"
On the subje ct of limiting the suffrage
to intelligent citizens, he expressed him
self as follows:
"The people demanded that the State
shall be governed by those citizens who,
because of their intelligence, their heredi-
ty and their interest in the material well
fare of the Commonwealth, are best fitted
to properly, periodically and wisely ex-
ercise the high duties Of citizenship.
This result can only be attained by an
amendment to the constitution fixing a
higher standard of qualification for the
exercise of the elective franchise. 1 be-
lieve that an amendment to the constitu-
ton upon the lines which l have suggest
ed, expressed in clear, definite, simple
terms, should be submitted to the people
of Maryland"
Gov. Warfeld's first appointment was
rotary of state.

ST. LOUIS ED.

The Democratic National Committee
met in Washington on Tuesday and Sc
lected St. Louis as the place Of holding
the National Democratic Convention.
The date chosen was Wednesday. July 9th.
A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Washington Tuesday says in part
THE change of sentiment which result
ed in the defeat of Chicago involves in
teresting political considerations. Last
night sentiment was distinctly favorable
to Chicago and the change was the result
of conferences between members of the
committee and Senator A. P. German. 1t
was stated before the meeting of the com
mittee that Mr.. German was favorably
disposed toward the selection of Chicago,
but if this were true developments after
the arrival of most of the members of the
committee led to a change in his position.
It became understood that the friends of
Mr.. William r. Hearst would determine
upon the selection of Chicago as a place
of meeting, for the reason, as alleged, that
he would have a better opportunity there
for getting control of the convention.
Upon this presentation of the question
there was a general lining up of the
Hearst and German forces. All of those
friendly to Mr.. German, and others who,
perhaps, were merely unfriendly to Mr..
Hearst, lined up in favor of St. Louis, and
that city was selected for the convention.
Upon this statement of the issue the
course of the New York following may be
regar ded as significant, as the New York
vote went ultimately to St. Louis. But in
this connection it must be borne in mind
that the Parker contingent, quite as much
as the German contingent, stands in an
attitude of antagonism to Mr.. Hearst.
THE general program Of the national
committee meeting was along lines under
stood to be favored by Mr.. German The
test vote in the District of Columbia case
indicated the strength of the Maryland
Senator and it was only by the adoption
of a compromise course that particular
emphasis of this fact was avoided. Tue
decision as to the place of meeting and
the time determined upon were in accord.
ance with Mr.. Germans idea, and the i'm.
preston tonight is that his influence was
stronger than that of any other man in
shaping the program. This was due
largely to the fact that his following with
in the committee, whether numerically
large or not, was of a positive character,
whereas that of all other candidates, ex'
cept Mr.. Hearst, was more or less tentative
and indefinite. The Hearst following was
positive, personal and strong, and the op'
position to it, as such, was decided enough
to be available for Mr.. Germans influence
to rally it into compact form.
