Navy Department asking for infor.
nation as to all phases of naval life

Charles w. Stewart, Superintendent

Naval War Records, received a let
ter several days ago from a man who
did not mind asking for what he
wanted. His request was for list
of all the officers of the British Navy

time. Another inquirer wanted to
know why the bluejaeke,s' pants are
larger at the bottom than at the knee.
Inquirer was informed that the pants
were made larger at the bottom so
that they might be turned up over

mARsnALrNo THEIR FORCES.

A few weeks ago, through the in
strumeutality Of banquet, the candi-
dacy of young Senator GOrman for
the United States Senate was an
nounced. The affair was held in
Howard County, the home County
Of German, the late habitat Of bis de-
ceased father, and the household Of
their respective friends. There was
much eclat about the to-do and the
welkin rang 10 praise OF the possibly
coming statesman. The meeting,
however, was something more than a
boosting Of German. 1t was more
significant in another respect 1t
was a reunion, as we see II, OF the
aho- boz Of Democratic politicians Of
days not long gone by when gang
Of political parasites controlled the
affairs Of the State to their own sell
fish greed more unscrupuously and
firmly than did ever crown head
grasp the throats Of a miserable peo-
pie. German is not the man for the
high place of United States Senator.
To what he may develop is unknown.
He is now not much more than an
infant in swsddling clothes, in public
life, but the halo Of his deceased
fathers political glory hangs around
him, and the old leeches whose hold
upon the destiny of the State was not
long ago by popular uprising broken.
are attempting to make use of its
brilliancy to charm and bring again
together the shattered organization.
The Baltimore Sun of the Sth inst.
says:
The whole tone and spirit of the
occasion when the announcement Of
Mr.. Germans candidacy was made
was that of Bourbonism and reaction
barking back to the old times when
Maryland was Il pocket borough.
The manifest intent Of Mr.. Gorman's
Senatorial Primarylaup, which he de-
clared at his banquet to be a fulfill
ment in spirit and deed Of the prom.
ises made to the people in that regard
by the Democratic party, is to reduce
the State again to condition of po-
litical serfdcm. From this state of
serfdom, or peonage, Maryland escap-
ed in 1895 by revolution, in which
far abler and more experienced
bearer of the name went down in de-
feat. II is now for the leaders Of the
Democratic party to consider the
possibility that this movement for
Mr.. German, founded on a Senatorial
primary law devised for his benefit,
may precipitate another revolution.
The folly of the occasion is a Re-
publican opportunity. The promo
ters of the proposition are sure to
control the Democratic organization
next year, the walloping Of newspa-
per criticism to the contrary notwith
standing. But between controlling
political organization and the popular
will there is wide difference. We
do not believe that the people of this
State are anxious for. a return Of the
German Rasin days, and rather than
submit to snch depreciation, that in
dependence of thought and action
which has characterized their purpose
for some years past will again asser
itself in the support of any part.
that holds out better prospects.
The way, therefore, is wide oper
for Republican success, il prudence
and good Judgment are exercised by
the management OF the latter party
in not only the advocacy of good
business principles for the govern
ment of the State but in the selec-
ton of proper candidates.

to the fact that for the past six weeks
the sales have been as great and often
greater than receipts. Good red tobacco

CHRISTMAS IN THE ARCTIC.
Theatrical Performance by Crew of an
lcebound Ship Sixty Years Ago.

Christmas eve was the opening NIGHT
of the thCatcr. the first one ever known
in those regions, writes Capt. b. S. Os
bon, in Recreation. 1t opened to full
house and yet not an advertisement
had appeared in any paper on the face
of The globe. No taring pose had
adorned the walls of the village on
shore, but the villagers were all there
as FIRST fighters" Promptly at eight
o'clock the orchcstra-the minstrel
band--in lieu of an opening overture,
gave us selection from their roper
toire which was generally appaudod,
and to the tnkling of a bell up went
the curtain. The play was "Black-
Eyed Susan" adapted from famous
old son#of that name, well known to
alE sailo&s in those times, It was a
play in three acts, intcrsperScd with
some familiar sea ditticS of the day.
Susan was the star of the evening and
the young fellow who took her part
played and looked it to perfection. Ills
makeup was very clever considering
lnt nlil'llaI 1T MS ''llIlil"Ih' ~
wig had been made of fine comlM;l,
yarns braided as dcitly as any Girl
could have done it, SuSans che"'S
and lips were very r"d--from tn
paint poland large pendant carrin"s
danglod from her ears Her dress was
faul less in fashion and fit her car
riage graceful and she acted tn" girl
to the mbouudrd satisfaction of the
vast as4"mh'agr' TN" Esluiman
portion OF the audi"nc" was anna"
at the performance, but Susan was an
even g'ontor ruzZl" to them. None of
them had over seen a white woman
1t was good as "A play to watch those
poor untuturcd natives as they fol
lowed the piece with intense wonder,
