The Following appears in dispatch from
Baltimore:
Senator Rayner in a spirited interv,ew
on the cuban situation, made today q sharn
attack on President Roosevelt and the at
Ter alleged annexation designs which in
crude everything down to the Orinoco He
accuses the republican party and the Presi

mat Mr.. Roosevelt may disregard Congress
and take Cuba in hand, just as he did San
10 Domingo incidentally. he charges that
tne elections which have kept the republic
can party in power in this country are as
rotten as those in Cuba"
Our elections often have been severely
criticised. and some of them have richly
deserved it, Mr.. Rayner may remember
Things that were said only a few years ago
about Maryland elections-those held in the
days when the old Baltimore ring organ
lied gangs of repeaters and stuffed ballot
boxes. and when the reputable Democratic
newspapers of the city, outraged nv the
scoundrelism perpetrated In the name and
for the benefit of their party declared that
certain democratic leaders, whom thew
named. ought to be In the penitentiary. It
was not until that old ring was smashed
and fair elections We're made possible that
Mr.. Rayner found the opportunity, which

the United States Senate. Had the old rot

be in private life.

Freedman's HOSPITAL.

The authorities Of the Freedman's Hos
pital urge upon the Secretary Of the In
terror the need of an appropriation by
Congress for equipping the new building.
DR.. Warfeld in his report says:
In the first place, the buildings now oc-
cupied by the hospital are worn out and
insanitary to high degree. and with the
pancy Is fraught with grave concern To
remain here another year would necessi-
tate an appropriation Of not less than $40
900 for repairs and proper fire-escape IA
cilities to make the buildings even fairly
safe and sanitary. This amount for repairs
can be dispensed with by obtaining i'm
mediately after the converting Of the next
session or Congress, an appropriation COW
ering the amount estimated for the COM
pletion and equipment of the new hospital"
For years the buildings of the Freed
mans Hospital have been a shame upon
the national capital. Obscure. isolated and
humble as this hospital has been. it has
seemed to receive scant appreciation Of the
great work 1t has done. Finally an appro-
priation for a new building vas secured.

Freedmans Hospital has been the last
resort Of many patients who could not be
admitted to other hospitals. Hundreds of
men and women In the advanced stage of
practically incurable diseases have found
refuge In this dingy old hospital. White
and colored have been treated in it's wards.
The extent of the work at this hospital
is shown by the report OF the surgeon-in-
chief. which sets forth that during the year
the number of cases treated and discharged
was 2.412. More than one thousand surgi-
cal operations were performed, and a high
percentage of these were major operations

Gaines Democracy.

The opinion prevails in many quarters
that we have never before experienced
such singular and troublous times in our
politics as now. But is that right? In the
winter of 1sS4-6 prominent politician en-
gagged to write for leading publication an
article to be entitled why Am a Demo-

politician. and asked for the article for the

The politician was among the numerous

A feature Of Mr.. Hearst's propaganda
which is attracting some attention relates
10 the tariff. He declares himself pro-
tectionist. His statement Is clear. He does
not shuttle, and point out that In the levy
ing of taxes for the governments support
Incidental protection is inevitable. He pro-
nounces for protection as a polcy-as fos-
tsrer of infant industries and safeguard
for American labor. Therein he differs
from democrats of the Tlden. the Cleve-
land, the Carlisle. the Watterson. and the
Bryan brand. They only tolerate protec-
ton. II they could they would extirpate It..
They feel toward II as Mr.. Vanderbilt did
toward the public-a feeling described in
print with a dash.
But there have been. and there are now
democrats Of the belief professed by Mr..
Hearst Mr.. Randall In his day was their
sblest exponent. Mr.. Whitney and Mr..
German were protectionists. James Smith.

then In the Senate. helped Mr.. German

tion. number OF southern democrats
favor protection for local Industries. and in
order to get that are always agreeable
when protection is demanded by other To-
calIties.
What then will be the national demo-
cratic expression on the tariff question In
1a0S? 1t may cause almost as big stir as
the railroad question. Mr.. Hearst will prob
ably be present, and it may be as the head
of the New York delegation. He secured at
Buffalo not only the nomination for COVER
nor, but control OF the democratic organiza-
ton of the state: and the latter he will re-
tain whether he is elected governor or not
MIR. Bryan will probably attend the conven-
ton. and IL he does Will have to be reck-
oned with in the matter of the platform.
Now these two men are in close agree
ment on the majority OF the issues of the
day. and particularly the new issues. State
socialism is in the minds and hearts of
both. Both want that policy inaugurated
and carried TO its logical conclusion. Both
are open bidders for the support of organ
lied labor. But they are widely separa ted
as to the tariff, the one being an avowed
proteCtonist and the other what we know
in this country a free trader. Should
they clash on the tariff two years hence
therefore what would be the result? Would
Mr.. Hearst or Mr.. Bryan suffer? The
democratic convention record Is on the side
OF Mr.. Bryan But the Hearst brand Is the
newest brand OF democracy, and in GER
tain localities novelties are all the rage
these days.

In the state Of Washington was awarded a
contract to supply the army with about 500
cavalry horses at his bid of $92 a head. He
thus far has been unable to I'LL the con-
tract, and it Is possible that he may be
financially crippled in his efforts to meet
his obligation to the government. A short
time before Gen. Funston was ordered to
Cuba he requested authority to purchase. In
an emergency. fifty cavalry horses at $3.50
q head. The request was refused by the
department because Of the contract which
the government had made for such horses
at 1872 head. On account OF the scarcity
of horses, animals suitable for the cavalry
now are worth about $40 head. Mules
are even scarcer than horses. Good mules
are worth about $3.50 head. and are diff
cult to get at that price on account Of the
great foreign demand.
The difficulty in procuring cavalry mounts
and good draft and pack animals for the
army brings up the question Of the estab-
lishment OF an army stud. The mounts
of the German army officers snd cavalry
are horses bred on the government farms.
The problem presents q number Of DIFF
ficulties. Horses are scarce in the United
States because Of the foreign demand for
them and because when electric cars were
Installed. when the bicycle was the FASH
ion, and when everybody was talking Of the
coming Of the motor car. the belief was more
or less general that the age Of the horse
slump in horse breeding and the supply
fell far short of the demand.
Fashions in horses change and the breed
ing of horses fit for cavalry has fallen into
a low state. The horses commonly bred in
this country are thoroughbreds, carriage
and draft horses.
The cavalry horse should have certain of
the points and qualities OF the thorough
bred. He should have high spirit and be
game to the death. 1t is often necessary to
ride cavalry horse till he drops. and he
should go as far as possible. He should
have a cold strain in him. He should
have big bones and be rather short-coupled
than "rangy" He ought also to have some
OF the qualities Of the cross-country horse,
for he needs the strong headquarters Of the
jumper. The cavalry horse must have
gameness. speed. endurance and weight
carrying ability. 1t Is q combination in the
horse that is becoming rarer and rarer.
Army officers are divided in opinion as to
whether it would be better for the War
Department to conduct horse farms in
favored parts Of the country, or whether
the government should buy number of
approved sires and contract with horse
breeders to supply army mounts.
