ASKING THE REASON WHY.

Republican papers are abusing eacl
other in their futile attempts to get a
the reason for the recollection of Gov
ernor Chamberlain.
They might save themselves th,
trouble IF THEY WOULD ooNsDEE
A FEW OF TILE ELEMENTARY
FACTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE
MATTER.
Has 1t not dawned upon them that
Governor Chamberlain, as an official
stood for certain definite reform prin
ciples, and acted upon themf
He never opposed honest reform
measures that were enacted by the
Republicans, but championed them be
fore the people.
He did not play fast and loose with
abuses in the state land administra.
tion, as some of his predecessors were
accused Of doing
: HE WAS EARNESTLY AND EVER.
LAsTTNGLY BUSY UNCovERING
AND ATTACKING ABUSES, IN.
STEAD OF SAYING THERE WERE
NONE TO COMPLAIN OF.
He never publicly said that all that
had been done by the state land agents
for the past twenty years was right,
and that the state had never lost a
cent thereby.
Republicans in the last legislature
recognized this, and sustained Cover.
nor Chamberlain 8 vetoes almost with.
out exception, a public confession that
he was right, and the Republican leg
islature was wrong.
The people appreciate that kind of |
a governor, and would appreciate those
qualities just as much if found in a
Republican.
But that kind of Republicans have
not been wanted at the front by the
managers Of the Republican party, al.
though the people wanted them.
Before the Republican party Is put
clear out of business in Oregon, it must
awaken to the fact that something is
demanded of it besides holding down
the jobs aud letting everybody do as
they please.

THE PRINCIPLE OF CREATION.

lITTLENESS OF MEANS.
No Bar To Greatness of Victory,
Says Bishop Coleman.

Bishop Leighton Coleman, of the
Diocese of Delaware, preached the
mid week lenten sermon at st. Anne's
last night. the Rev. Joseph F Mo
Oomas, rector There was yery
large congregation present notwith.
standing the night was a most dis
agreeable one. The service of Evening
Prayer was conducted by the rector.
and the assistant to the parish, the
Rev. w. L. Twamley, The choir
boys sang.
The Bishop took for his text the
7th verse of the 7th chapter of Judges
And the Lord said unto Gideon, by
the three hundred men that Tapped
will l save you, the first clause of
the verse. The Bishops theme was
Self.restraint as to, lawful things
an aid against indulgence in unlaw
full things" or Littleness of means
no bar to greatness of victory" He
told the Bible story of the Gideonites
with their small army going to battle
with the Midianites, mighty host,
and how God had said to Gideon He
would be with him depsite the small
ness of his army. The Lord said even
the small army of Gideon was too
many and only those shoul1 go forth
to battle that tapped the water with
their tongue, and of these there were
but 800, and the hosts of Midianites
were delivered into the hands of these
three hundred.
The Bishop spoke of the superiority
of 300 or 10000. Such was the eager.
ness of the 800 to accomplish what
God had in store for them that they
forgot themselves and practiced self
denial and self-restraint. He said we
are engaged in mighty contest with
in and without-a spiritual combat
The victory will be won not by
drinking to safety but by practicing
self restraint. A great many people,
he said, make of Lent season of striv-
ing against things that are wrong.
After keeping such season are they
to go ON doing unlawful things 1t
is not so much a season for forbidding
ourselves unlawful things as of re-
straining ourselves from things that
are lawful. Faint yet pursuing
should be the motto for this season,
the Bishop said He advocated say.
| ing "No" at the beginning of Lent to
all pleasures and of saying 'tNo" TO
the end when it comes 70 discriminat-
| ing between what is true and what is
false and distinguishing between the
| secular and religious side of life.
1t is those who practice self-re-
straint that will enjoy the kingdom
of heaven rather than those who enjoy
themselves to their safety. LittleBees
of means and the blessing of God upon
those means, is no bar TO greatness
| against those who are true to God
/ and forgetful of themselves, said the
Bishop, and God will vouchsafe the
/ victory TO all those who are faithful
INTO the end. The sermon was full of
| practical thought and furnished food
| for reflection.

COMPROMISE OYSTER BILL.
AN ANALYSIS OF WHAT THIS
MEASURE MEANS.
Has Passed The Senate But What
The House Will Do With
1t Remains To
Be Seen.

The compromise oyster bill has
passed the Senate. bnt what Will
happen to il in the House IL is impos.
sible to say. Two weeks ago the Ha-
man bill apparently had less chance
of passage than il had had in many
years When the measure finally
came mp in the Senate il was discover.
ed that there were sixteen votes at
hand in the bills favor, or enough
and more to pass the bill absolutely.
If the Haman bill really is the iniqui-
tous measure which the tidewater
section CT this State believes that it is
then that section of Maryland should
pe devoutly thankful tor the fact that
it has sent able, shrewd men TO the
Senate TO represent IL.
For fifteen years the water counties
have prevented the passage Of any
kind of leasing measure, and il was
through no willingness whateVe that
its representatives consented to any
thing else this session; but General
Seth, Senator'S Kirwan, Dashiell.
Erewington and others were sharp
enough TO see that so far as the Senate
is concerned they had reached the end
of their rope; they talked of a COM
promise and got it, For minority,
too, they exacted a great deal when
the features of this new bill are con.
sidered 1t may be called the Hamau
bill as much as certain parties like,
but it is the Haman bill as much as
Hamlet would be that celebrated
tragedy with the title charac ter un.
avoidably absent 1t is the Haman
bill in that it is a leasing bill and in
nothing else.
The execution of the law, if passed
will be in the hands of the oyster peo.
pie. Senator Dashiell has saved the
crabbers and reduced the acreage from
80 to TO- The Shore people voted for
a leasing bill and some people may
term it the Haman bill II they hnd
pleasure in so doing but the Shoremen
voted wisely and we'll. and they did
not betray their constituents by a
block headed opposition which would
have saddled the original measure
upon their people.
Thursday night when the comprom.
ise bill went over to Is third reading
there was only one dissenting vote
that of Senator Griffith. CT Calvert
county. who made a witty, eloquent
speech, opposing any leasing bill to
the very last. " You believe you are
going to get oysters and you are going
to get roads from the passage Of this
bill, - he said, but don't believe
you are going to get either, and so I'll
vote as l always bave-against this
amendment. Every oyster conntain
on the floor believed as the Calvert
county Senator believes, but were wise
enough to recognize the force of over
whelming strength
