MARYLAND DAY.

The celebration of"Maryland Day"
March "a, will b. particularly confined
to the public schools of the State, and
for that purpose clever pamphlet has
been issued and prepared by w. Bates

contains suggestive programs for the
observance of this memo able anniver-
sary, when the Ark and the Dove land

the Chesapeake and paved the wav for
popular government and religious tole-

subsequent hardships endured by the

act of liberation, which was in essence
perfect religious freedom for men.
At that time it was a mOmentous ques.

have much to learn from this theme.
They are natives of the State that
first sent broadcast the seed of FREE

which has since been inc rporated in
our laws and our Constitution. The

What the Garfield Report Does
Not Tell.

What this report reveals is
perhaps imp lrtaut. but of more
Importance are the things it does
not reveal. 1t does not tell how
much the owners of these pack
ing plants draw as salaries as
managers and directors. 1t does
not tell why beef sells much
cheaper in the country, where
there is competition, than in the
big cities, where the trust has a
practical monopoly. 1t does not
tell what a percentage of inte est
they charge up on their capital
stock. 1t does not tell how much
they make on their hogs aud
sheep. 1t does not tell how they
m0nOpolize butter, eggs, poultry
and other products and how much
they make on these things. Ii
does not tell h W much they re
ceive in rebates from the railroads
on cattle shipments from the
West nor on beef shipments to
the East. 1t does not tell how
much they tax the people on their
fruit and vegetables through the
operation OF their private car
lines, and it does not tell what
proportion of the expense of con
ducJing their business is charged
up against the killing and hand
ling of beef and how much against
these other things. And more
important than all else. it does
not inform the public how much
profit is derived from their aux
Hilary houses in the big cities.
For instance, they might charge
up six cents per beef carcass
against their Duluth auxiliary.
while that house might charge
eight cents per pound for each
carcass Where does that profit
go! If there is such a profit ii
need not necessarily show on the
books of the packing houses.
1t may be that Commissioner
Garfield has not told all he knows
because he was not instructed &c
do so, but an investigation of the
packing house combine that does
not tell the whole truth is of nc
value whatever Duluth Herald

NO TREATY THIS TERM.

President Roosevelt has again suffer
ed defeat at the hands of the Senate
At a conference at the White House
Wednesday between Republican lead
ers of the Senate, the President and
Secretary Hay, the President was in
formed that the ratification of the
treaty would be impossible, and that
the only thing now to b. considered is
that of how to make its failure fall
most lightly upon the Adminisl ration.
1t is said TN It commission may be
named to look into the matter during
the recess which will likely begin on
S ,turday, as then 1t sid the special ses
sion OF the Senate will adjourn.
In 1870 Grant sent to the Senate a
treaty provi ting for the annexation of
Santo Domingo Republicans joined
with the ID m Gratis and promptly de-
feated it. Whilst the present treaty
does not provide for annexation, it is
possible and not at all improbable, that
it will lead up to such a conclusi n.
The people don't want any more island
annexation in theirs.

Greater Washington.

President Roosevelt will &C.
lively cooperate in the move
ment for the architectural i'm.
provement of Washington City.
Approximately S20,000,000 is
about to be spent on monumental
Government buildings. Among
the structures authorized are new
buildings for the Department of
Agriculture and the National
Museum and two magnificent and
massive buildings for use as
offices by the Senate and House
of Representatives. In the past
there has been no correlation
and a go-as you please policy has
prevailed with reference to public
buildings in Washington. Under
the new executive order these
structures will be erected and
located with an eye to the rela-
ton of one building or style of
architecture TO another and their
relation to the general ensemble
of Federal structures throughout
Washington.

To Return Captured Confed
crate Flags.

In few days the War Depart.
ment will take action on the Joint
resolution of Congress directing
the return to their former owners
of all Confederate battleflags cap
tqred by the Union forces during
the Civil War. Maj Gen. Fred
erick G. Ainsworth, the Military
Secretary. will have entire charge
of returning these flags.
All of these old flags and stand
ards are now stored in the alag
room" at the War Department.
General Ainsworth said that they
would be carefully sorted out and
returned as soon as possible.
Owing to the very complete man.
ner with which General Ainsworth
has kept the Civil War records
there will be no difficulty in locat.
ing in each instance the represen,

WILL REMOVE BITTER FEEL
ING

The action of Congress in passing the
measure insuring the return of Confed-
crate battleflags captured during the
Civil War has been received with every
manifestation of delight by the PEOPLE
of the South and also by those in the
North who have Confederate synpa-
thies.
1t certainly will have the effect of re-
moving much If the feeling that still
exist in both sections and more
thoroughly unite the people as nothing
has been done since Lees surrender.
In this connection an official procla-
nation has been issued by General
Stephen ID Lee, Commander-in-C Chief
of the United Confederate Veterans,
paying unstinted praise and tribute TO
Congress for passing the battlefag re-
turn measure and to President Roose
welt for his prompt signature. Gen.
eral Lee says;
II would be derelict in my duty not
w give OAPiCSSioh " the sdtlSldCllOU
that fills the heart of every Confederate
veteran for the unanimity with which
the national Legislature passed the bill
restoring the Confederate battlehsgs to
the several States and the readiness
with which the measure was approved
by the President.
"This action is fresh evidence that
there are now in our grand country no
sectional lines-no south, no north,
east or west-but that we are all Ameri-
cans, devoted TO one common country.
And l urge upon all parties, North or
South, who have colors in their posses
sion to return them at once to the State
captiols."

THERE is said to be some likelihood
of the rejection by the Senate of the
Presidents negro Internal Revenue APP
pointee for district in New York CITY,
probably at the instance of Plat or
Depew and probably by both Their
first acceptance of this innovation was
half hearted to say the last, and it is
very probable that even in the event of
the confirmation of this appointment
by the Senate, that some scars will BE-
left. This effort by the President to
foist negro appointants npon an unwill-
ing people, either North or South, does
not seem to strike a popular chord
somehow. Since the above was written
the Senate has confirmed the negro

raised in New York City on account

To Clean Woolens and Furs.

All WOolenS ana furS should be
cleaned thoroughly before they
are put away for the summer and
the white wooden shawlS that are
only slightly Soiled may be clean
ed by rubbing them in several
changes of magneSia and -four
mixed, and white corn meal iSex
cellent 10 clean any delicate
shade of WOODEN goods or white
Angora hoods and turs. Put the
article 10 he cleaned in a sack
and use about pint of meal for
one hood, then fold the sack and
rub and press between the hands
as if washing in water. and when
they seem clean, take out the
articles and shake them we'll out
OF doors, then brush every par
ticle of the meal out with a soft
brush.
To clean white furs. rub them
well with magneSia and shake
thoroughly, but if light colored
furs are very SOiled the hest way
to clean them is TO lay the artlcle
to be cleaned upon IA table fnr
side up, and use the white corn
meal Tor cleaning. Sprin e
plenty of meal over the fur, then
rub it in we'll with the hand, and
rub briskly every inch of the fur
" hen the fur seems clean, lay the
garment fur side down over soft
pillow, and with light, supple
rod. beat very fast, then Shake
lightly and brush With soft
brush until it seems free of every
particle of meal. For dark hnes,
the same process may he followed,
but mahogany or cedar saw aust
may he bought for trihe Of any
furrier or clothing house. There
is nothing better for cleaning
WOODEN fabrics such az flannel
aud cashmere waists than gaso
line, but 1t must never be used in
room where there is a fire or
light and as Il heavy hand is rui.
nous i'll cleaning such articles. the
rubbing must hr brisk and light,
and about one gallon of gasoline
will cleanse IA wooden waist per
tectly. Put the garment IN the
gasoline and oe sure it is thor
Oughly saturated, aud rub and
squeeze with the hands, then
rinse III clear gasoline and hang
the garment in the open air. and
if the cloth has been carefully
cleaned it will need no ironing.
Both the all wool and the cotton
hannels may be kept soft without
shrinking if they are always
washed in a warm pearline Suds
prepared especially for them, and
this suds is excellent for washing
all w"olen fabrics, such as wooden
skirts and waists that are too
sOiled to be cleaned with gasoline.
Warm. soft water should always
be used for Washing wooden un
derwear or any kind of wooden
material, and if very soiled a
little ammonia should be added
to the water to soften it and aid
in the cleaning process.

Warfield took an appeal to the higher

"It is from the idle negro, who
frequents the low grog shops,
who loafs about the streets and
who plays policy and crap, that
the trouble is to be feared. They
flourish during the time of Re-
publican primaries, as they are
bought and often dragged by
contending factions to promote
one or the other of these Repub-
lican cliques; the cross roads pol
iticians and the ward bummers
hold them as their capital to
transfer to the one paying the
highest price for their support.
The other class of negroes is be-
coming prosperous in the South;
they work their little patches
of cotton and own their own
homes; they become carpenters,
bricklayers, blacksmlths and help
to build up the Southern cities.
This you will not see in the North
for the unions will not admit
them as mem bers. The working
negro is respectful and he has yet
some of the old-time Southern
ways, and he is therefore accorded
the best of treatment by the
Southern people. The grant of
the elective franchise to the
negro has proven his curse and
has done more to Ietard his
progress in his moral and phys
ical condition than anything that
has happened since his enamel
patton. as it was truly said by
Mr.. Blaine, that the inventors
of this scheme will live to see the
day when it will return to plauge
them.n
