 Annapolis Special to Baltimore Sun. Rear Admiral Winfield Scott schley de- sires to become a voter of his native State. Maryland. To this end his friends In the Maryland Legislature, among them one who is an old classmate of the hero or Santiago, have under consideration a proposition to introduce resolution at Annapolis to enable him to register and vote In Maryland and declare him to be a place Of residence. which must necefsa- riiy be as temporary for at least a de- cade, as she homes of most naval officers.
 If the Maryland Legislature passes the contemplated enabling act Admiral Schley will next year. barring emergencies, c. st his vote in ths presidential election for the first time in his life. Throughout for which took him to all parts of the world. from the Arctic to the Antipodss, he has never been so situated as to be able to legally vote in Maryland, and has never desired to cast his ba,,ut anywhere else. He attained his majority. which carried with tt citizenship, while he was cadet at the Annapolis Naval Academy.

PENSACOLA.
As a Naval Station and Point of
 Natural Reudez0us.


 The Pensacola's Progress and Pros perity" edition contained great many fine articles. Among them was one by Captain F. W. Dinkips. U. s. N, com mandant of the Pensacola Navy Yard in which he says:
 ''rhis station is 100 miles nearer Pana- ma than Mobile, 200 miles nearer than Galveston and 300 miles nearer than New Orleans, and when the isthmian canal shall have been built, this station will be bound to be of great importance to the government, owing to the political and commercial importance of this port Tn reference to the Panama canal. When that happy event shall have been con summated Pensacola will be enthroned 1T her commercial and naval situation as g queen, directing commerce and trade, not only to the West Indies, and east coast of South America, but through the Pa. mama canal reaching out to the countries on the west coast of South America, the islands oz the Pacific ocean the great island continents of the Antipodes, and the populous aud wealthy countries of the Orient, as well as to the coast of our owr golden west.

POLITICAL POINTS

, he replied. 4But for brevity,s sake I will mention only the instances of the last five Presidential elections. In the first Cleve- land election of 1884 I had just returned from the Arctic In 1888 was with the Baltimore at Chile. In 1892, the second Cleveland election, I was in California, having just arrived from the Chile station. During the first Mckinley election of 1896 was in command of the North Atlantic squadron. and in the second Mckinley election of 1nO I was in South Amer.ca in command of the South Atlantic squas.-

rRECnrr- AND pRACrrCE.

Recently the Rev. pr. Rainsford, in an address at Yale eulogixing Roosevelt told the students that ''the man who tells the truth and sticks to it does the most lasting good" The expression, 'steli the truth and stick to it'' is also a favorite with the President himself. but does he always live up to it? Well. hardly. as some examples will show. In his Life oi
 h1on he aays that protection is vic-
 4 in theory and harmful in practice"
 now he is fully in accord with the
 land pat' theory of the protection
 :s. and may be set down as a protec- bnlst of the most extreme kind.
 He once said that appointments to of- 1ce should be based upon merit" but he lost sight of that axiom when he came Into power. The appointments of Payne hnd clarkson, of Wood and Crum and &sothers can hardly be held up as exam *nMs of fidelity to his announced doctrine 4nnther instance of the differences be. kwseA precept and practice ia found in hks rtfusal to accept flag made by patri4tic American girl. basing his re- 8naalton the broad ground that a Presi- don't Af the United States should not re- csiys kifts. It was not long after this tllak he accepted free of cost special and luxurious trains in his spectacular jour uey through the West. What was this but accepting gifts? The only difference was that free trains were gifts from large and influential corporations, while Khe ilttle flag was the gift of lIttle Kikl Did he follow his motto in these casesg
 When Miss Todd was removed from the postofHce at Greenwood, Del, he gave out that he felt 1t his duty to do so because HhA was personally objectionable to the Addicks Senator from that State. leaving 4he Expression that 1t is the duty of President to be governed by the wishes Of tho Senators. But in South Carolina he appoints Dr. Crum, not only over the protests of both Senators but against the wishes of most of the people. Why thls Inconsistency? Because he has hope of electoral votes in Delaware and knows he will get none from South Carolina.
 Tn February. 1900. he very positively assured the editor of the Review of Re- views that under no circumstances would he accept the nomination for the office of Vice President. When the Republican Convention met. and there was a move rnenk started for his nomination he made spectacuiar march down the aisle. with eombrero on his head and high boots on his feet. thus giving an impetus tc the sentiment which eliminated in a nom nation which he accepted. If he told the truth to Editor Shaw why did he moi stick to lt7
 And so we might specify a number ci other instances where he either failed tC tel ths truth or failed to stick to it ir after days. He had much to say about his devotion to the memory of Mckinley aud about his determination to carry oRi ths policies of his predecessor, yet he has failed to do so in 50 many instances thai Iais promises and failure to keep then are notorious. The fact is that he is q bonhastic talker and writer and a very forsetful performer.

BRYAN AND HEARST.
The Late Candidate Expected to Ex-
 plain Hearst's Candidacy.

Washington Special to New York Press.
 Democrats of prominence who were loyal to ". J. Bryan, both in -ss6 and in 1900, say that Bryan, upon his return from Europe intends to throw a shock in- to the ranks of the Cleveland reorganiz- CTS in the party, by declaring for the nomination of William R. Hearst of New York for President. Such action on Bry- ans part. 1t is admitted, would shock al- most anybody; They assert that this knowledge of Bryan's intention has teen the basis for the campaign of subsidizing Democrats and the formation of Hearst Clubs, in various parts of the country and that Bryan and Hearst are In com piete accord in this movement When Bryan gets up in the Democratic National Convention. said one of his ardent ad- mirers today, and makes one of his rip roaring speeches for Hearst, just you watch what will happen. He will have them on the run, just as he did in 1896. Millions of loyal Democrats who voted for Bryan in 1896 do not purpose to have Cleveland. Olney or any other dodger tell us now that we are fools and that we should turn around and let them run the party for us. If they think they are go- ing to get away with such game, they will wake up when they get to the next na- tional convention.'

The Fciamor of the South for ratiica- tfon of the Panama treaty is described by the opposition as a yielding to the demands of commercialism, and in that sense is represented to be discreditabie to the Democrats.

NATION IS ABSORBED
IN MATERIAL THINGS
Fails to Appreciate and En-.
courage the Fine Arts, Says
the Rev. j. j. LawIer.

LAS a nation We lack a proper appre-
citation of the fine arts, and we fail to
give them the encouragement they de-
serve Unfortunately, in some communi-
ties interest in art seems to be slumber-
ing. The fine arts fulfill an aesthetic mis-
sion In human life, but our country S
standing in the domain of the fine arts is
not remarkably high declared the Rev.
j. J. Lawler last night at ST. Agatha S
Conservatory, in introducing Prof. Robert
Koehler. president of the School of Fine
Arts of Minneapolis, who delivered a lee
ture on Whistler.
While the Rev. Lawler deplored the pre-
vailing Indifference to fine art, he pre-
dicted that when art shall come to be
properly appreciated, American energy
and characteristic originality will achieve
wonders.
Though we have brought to success
full issue countless important enterprises
for the happiness and social well being
Of the people," continued Father Lawler
1--WE must confess that we have not done
our best along artistic lines.
Absorbed In Material interests.
What Is the cause Of our back
WardneSS in this department of human en-
ergy? We have been too busy with things
which are more essential to a country like
ours Our ideas are also at fault. SO
long as financial success is held up to our
youth as the chief aim of life-the cri-
terion Of greatness-so long as artistic
achievements are considered unnecessary
impractical and useless, unless they are
subservient to some aim, SO long win the
qualities which make for Industrial ad-
vancement be admired and developed to a
high degree, while the artistic tempera-
ment Will be kept in the background and
neglected.
Were I asked what our artistic future
Will be, however, would answer glorious =!
Our inventive genius in mechanical con-
trivances is peculiarly our own. May we
not yet hope to do as well in other spheres
of greatness?
Give us time and leisure AS we have
not been servile imitators of the past in
the things to which we have turned our
attention, 1t is reasonable to expect that
when we shall seriously devote our en-
ergy to the cultivation of the fine arts
there will be an American school of art
original and grand, in harmony with all
the glories of glorious land"
Prof. Koehler spoke highly of Whistler,
extolling his genius and pointing out the
characteristics of the great painter in
each of the works which were discussed.
