Marylapd,s Cabinet Record.

Charles j. Bonaparte is the thirteenth
Marylander TO sit at the cabinet Ia
bile and the fourth to take up the naval
portfolio. Aside from Mr.. Bonaparte
Maryland has supplied only two cabi-
net officials since the civil war. These
were J. A. J. Creswell, who served as
postmaster general during Grants first
term, and James A. Gary, who held
the same portfolio the first year of Nc
Kinley's first term.
Before the war Maryland men were
often found in the ranks of the presi-
dents advisers. In the naval depart
ment Benjamin Stoddert of Maryland
served as secretary under John Adams
from 1I98 to 1901 and turned over the
portfolio TO Robert Smith, Jefferson's
Maryland appointee, who held 1t eight
years. Maryland's most distinguished
cabinet officer was Roger b. fancy,
who served as attorney general, secre-
tary of war and secretary of the treas
ury between 1881 and 1884. Reverdy
johnson was attorney general from
March, 1919, to July, 1850.
The third Maryland man TO hold the
naval portfolio was John o. Kennedy,
who served from July, 1852. to March,
1853. During part of his term john
Adams had two Maryland men in the
cabinet at the same time. james Nc
Henry of Maryland was secretary OF
war from January, 1896, to May, $500,
during which period Stoddert held the
naval portfolio two years. Other Marg-
land ministers were William Pinckney
and John Nelson, who each held the
Office of attorney general; Albert NJ.

Apostle Dowie,s New Enterprise.

Nothing seems too big for John Alex
ander Dowie's Imagination and ener-
gy. and his proposed colony in Mexico
is not only unique but stupendous as
a scheme foE social development and
progress. 1t is said that the apostle
cleared the way for his new enterprise
by hYpnotizing President Diaz and
getting valuable concessions TO for
ward his daring plans. The primary
idea of Dowie is TO furnish homes In
the south for those of his people who
want a milder climate than the original
Zion affords.
A general development of 100000
acres of land is proposed, to include
seven cities, network of railroads
and the irrigation of large tract by
water drawn from a rock, as it were.
The pioneer city will be called Eden,
and from this abode of the faithful
will be banished the many recognized
evils of society and likewise hogs,
HlultS h1Au Oy SleIb. Ic hOSt DON iC
explains, is the scavenger of the land
as the oyster is the scavenger of the
sea, and therefore both pork and oys-
tiers are unfit for human food. The
mule is barred because he is just
mule" and nothing else.
So far as possible without conflicting
with the Mexican rule Dowie will reg
ulate his own colony. Eden will serve
as a model for six other cities, to be
established as needed. The irrigation
scheme is worthy the brain of Jules
Verne. Dowie believes that four ex-
tinct volcanoes on his tract are reser-
voirs of water and that by tunneling
into the sides he can draw the water
into fumes and distribute ii over the
land for irrigation purposes and also
develop wafer power in the fall to use
ia manufacturing

Delcasze, whom the German kaiser

Delcasse, whom the German kaiser
and his chancellor succeeded in fore
Ing from the cabinet of France, is a
typical American in his manner and
working methods. In appearance he
resembles successful journalist
rather than the ideal statesman. With
a constitution of iron, Delcasse has
been a hard. inde4atigable worker I'M
der five different prime ministers. He
has no taste for social designations,
but tolls necessarily at his office,
and during the seven years of his
service as minister of foreign affairs
brought all the nations except Ger
many into improved relations with
France.
Delcasse has been called a faithful
disciple of Gambetta. the great com
moner of the second empire. He be
lieves in the people, the common PEG
pie" He is not an orator of the flow
cry type. but is possessed of eloquence
which is pithy, strong and convincing.
Being only fifty-three years of age
Theophile Delcasse may yet become
president of the French republic. His
dream is the rehabilitation of France
as a factor in world politics.

Light on the PeopIe of Tibet.

Whatever may be the political con
sequences of last years invasion OF
Tibet by the British army the event
has unquestionably enlarged the
worlds knowledge of the people 81
that mysterious land. \ recently pub
lished book by Colonel L. Austine Wad-
dell contains, in addition to record
of the expedition. a comprehensive ste-
~ of "Lassa and Its Mysteries, deal
ing broadly and intimately with this
difficult and interesting subject.
The chief reason why Tibet has SO
long been a terra incognita, Colonel
Waddell says. is found in the political
barriers raised by the monks, the
lamas who are at the same time the
rulers, the priests and the merchants
Of the country. These powerful classes,
prompted wholly by self interest and
natural dread of losing their monopoly
by the introduction of foreign meth
DDS, have struggled to maintain COM
plele Isolation.
The people of Tibet this authority
declares, are daring. fighting race,
but their native simplicity and friend
illness was revealed to the conquering
hosts the moment the superior power
Of the latter was manifest. Every
where good humored grinning crowd
gathered around the English invaders
Seldom was sullen face seen. The
number of and variety of games in
dulged in showed the masses to be a
sport loving people. But the Tibetans
are woefully ignorant resting under
the blight of ecclesiastical feudalism.
Even the clerical rulers are as illiterate
as the laymen.

The Norwegian parliament gave the
world a new sensation in setting up a
revolution by resolution alone. The
grievance which led TO this radical sep
seems to be sentimental ratherthan real
Wrongs CALLING enough to cause the
sons of the vikings to appeal to the
sword are difficult to discover by out
siders. Oratory and rhetoric. how
ever, fired the popular heart
The outbreak of provincial sentiment
in Norway seems untimely in these
days of unifcation. Sentiment as well
as politics would be supposed to bind
firmly together people of the same
race. The Scandinavians have a com
mon cause against Russia. Russia
weak is their opportunity and Russia
strong is their menace.

Don't Like the Alberta Country.

Recent views from Alberta and the
Northwest territory is to the effect tina t
many Americans who removed to these
countries have sold out and returned
to Uncle Sans domain and others are
preparing to follow suit. 1t is stated
that another dry season this year would
cause great exodus from the farming
region.
1t is reported that the boom in agri-
cultural lands lying between Calgary
and EdmiRston has completely collap-
sed and thai one or two towns that had
q mushroom growth during the boom
are almost entirely depopulated.
There seems no doubt about the rich
ness of the soil hut the severe cold OF
winter and the drouths of summer have
disheartened the settles.

General CroDje "Not a Soldier"

General CPoDJe moi Soluler.
The Roer fighter who has gone into
the show business turns sharply upon
the critics who tell him that he is dis
grazing the military profession" by
descending to the level of Snowman.
Says General Cronje:
In the first place am not a member OF
the military profession Therefore l can
not disgrace 1t. 1 fought as patriot not
as soldier II the average soldier were
as little a Snowman as l there would not
be so many brilliant uniforms covering
duh men British soldiers have said that
1t Is beneath the dignity of a general to
become a circus performer. Some Of the
men who have said this are the men ]
fought They are the men who robbed me
of my home and my country.
For the benefit of those who are in
sympathy with the Boer cause the gen
eral explains that he found nothing but
desolation and ruin upon his return
from captivity in st, Helena. He was
old and weak and had lost his sons IN
the war. The Boer people offered him
aid. but they were also poor, and 1t
was represented to him by the man
ayers of the show that the spectacle
would educate the American people in
the history of the BOer struggle. The
old patriots appeal is dignified as well
as pathetic and characteristic of the
primitive heart which inspired it.

Manchuria's Profit In the War.

The Chinese say that Japan has dis
bursed S50,000,000 in Manchuria for
war purposes in one year Japan is
employing 100000 Chinese coolies and
10000 carts at daily cost of 800, 600.
If the war continues and takes on new
phases it is estimated that during the
coming twelve months the outlay of
Japanese money in Manchuria may
reach the enormous sum of $75,000,000.
Although Nlanchuria is suffering
many evils by the presence of two ar
mics, the province is getting ample
cash compensation, for the outlay of
the Russians must equal and even eX-
coed that of the Japanese. Both ar
mics now have long distance commu-
nicatlons to maintain within the prov
ince 1t is reasonable to suppose that
Russia is eXpending far more than
Japan, as her needs are greater. Doubt
less Manchuria has already received
the benefit of $150,O00,0O0 of japanese
and Russian money.

1t turns out after all that the exodus
of Americans into Canada has not been
checked, and the high tide was not
reached last year, as frequently stated.
Those seeking Canadian wheat lands
are the sturdy. enterprising. thrifty
people who did much toward redeem
ing the American wilderness and, as Il
rule, are fairly provided with capital
to build up new homes.

Canadian apple shippers have formed
a combination with the object of con
trolling the markets of England by
dealing directly with small fruit ner-
chants and taking the trade out of the
hands of the wholesale commission
firms. OF late American shippers have
monopolized the apple trade in the
leading English cities and are not ex-
pected TO lose their hold upon the mar
kets without vigorous effort to put
down the Canadian combine.
