A Big Farming Scheme.

The American has frequently called
attention to the splendid opportunities
offered in the counties of Southern
Maryland to capitalistic farmers from
other states or from Europe. Lands
in that section that can be restored
to a high state of productiveness
may be bought at figures which con-
stitute them great bargains. Many
farmers from the West and Northwest
and some from across the ocean have
purchased farms in this part of Mary
land and these prospectors have, with
hardly an exception, been pros
porous. Southern Maryland can be
made and should be made q great
garden area. The section is in need
of better railroad facilities, but these
will surely be supplied.
1t is given out that farming col
onization scheme of considerable mag
nitude is now being promoted by in
terests connected with the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. A tract of 10000
acres, according to the reports, Will
be cut up into small farms, upon
which will be located trained and en-
ergetic farmers. This will mean the
introduction of from 100 to 200 families
into the counties in which the lands
to be settled are located. II this col
onization scheme is successful 1t viii
be but an initial enterprise. Similar
settlements will be arranged for. IL
il but reasonable expectation that
this proposed scheme may mark the
beginning of an important farming
immigration movement to this state.

FORTY YEARS OLD.
Anniversary of St Paal's Reformed
Church this City.

Interesting exercises were held in
st. Paul's Reformed Church last Sun
day in commemoration of it's fortieth
anniversary. The church has had but
four pastors since its organization,
and these all took part in Sundays
celebration, The first pastor of the
church was Rev. VIM. C. Cremer, D.
d., now residing at Chambersburg,
Pa. He was succeeded by Rev. John
G. Moss, now of New Holland, Pa. Rev.
Moss successor was Rev. A. s. Weber,
now pastor of Faith Reformed Church,
Baltimore. He was followed by Rev.
c. S. Slagle, D. D., who has been the
pastor for about 20 years.
At the Sunday morning service Rev.
DR.. Slagle read an historical sketch
of the congregation, which is printed
in another column, and Dr. Cremer
related incidents connected with the
founding of the church. At night ad-
dresses were delivered by Revs. Moss
and Weber
The Methodist Protestant and Luth-
eran churches were closed to give
their members an opportunity TO at
tend the evening services.
Monday evening a reception was
given at the parsonage to the former
pastors and their wives.

Academy of Music.

Madame Nazimova, the great Eng
disappearing Russian actress, whose
appearance at the Academy of Music,
Baltimore, last season attracted more
intelligent attention than any other
theatrical event of the year, returns
to the same house Monday evening
for a weeks engagement in her splen-
did repertoire of plays. Probably in
the history of the drama in this coun-
try no actress has achieved such sud
den and unqualified success as this now
famous actress, Russian by birth but
American by adoption. Although still
in her twenties, and having but re-
Gently mastered the English language,
Nazimova became famous in night,
or rather in an afternoon, when she
made her bow as Hedda Gabler at
the Princess Theatre, New York. She
became at once one of the wonders
and delights of Broadway, whose
theatregoers found in this highly tenn
peramental foreign player with her
clear intellectual understanding and
brilliant, varied and powerful execu-
ton, a welcome change from the at
fractions offered at other theatres.
The repertoire for the week is as fol-
lows: Monday and Tuesday evenings
and Wednesday matinee, "A Dolls
House," Wednesday and Thursday
evenings, 'Hedda Gabler;" Friday
1.-THE Master Builder" and Saturday
evening, '"The Comet" OF these ''The
Master Builder will, undoubtedly,
prove to be the most interesting, be-
cause it has not as yet been played
by Nazimova in Baltimore.

Presidential Dignity.
From N. Y. Evening Post.

If the President is to continue to
lecture his opponents and the country
in daily or weekly statements, he
might just as well take the stump
openly and get into the fray. It is an
nounced in this mornings newspapers
that the Presidents return to Wash
ington has been fastened by his de-
sire to direct and invigorate the cam
paign from the White House. If this
is true, If his unmatched political skill
is to be superimposed upon the au-
thority Of Senator Crane and Mr..
Hitchcock, it is idle to talk of preserv-
ing the aloofness of the White House
for the sake of its dignity. 1t will
do the Office not whit more harm
ii he should deliver his passionate
eulogies Of Mr.. Taft to an audience
direct instead of through the news
papers of a Monday morning.
What would be thought of Mr.. Bry-
an il in the White House, under simiI-
ar circumstances, he should organize
a campaign and issue daily instruc-
tons to the electorate? 1t may be
that we shall eventually come to this
procedure and find it perfectly natur-
al and proper. But the novelty Of it
will, we believe, offend for some time
to come. AS for Mr.. Taft, one cannot
but be sorry for him.

A boomerang Argument.

The tariff-mongers are most un-
fortunate in their appeal to current
history for a justification of their
predatory system. Not to mention
Great Britain and Ireland, whose in
ternational commerce is greater than
that of all the rest of Europe, there
are Holland, Belgium and Switzer-
land, whose average duties on imports
are not above 10 per cent. This is
called rank free trade in a country
where the duties on wooden fabrics
amount to 100 per cent. on their value
at the custom house. Yet Holland and
Belgium have a greater export and
import trade than Protection1st
France alongside OF them, with more
than twice the population. The work
ing people in these two hives OF in
dustry are more prosperous and COM
Portable than the inhabitants of any
Protectionist land in Europe, simply
because they are lightly taxed for
their necessaries of living.
EMPLOYEES of factories in France
near the Belgian border are known 10
make their homes in Belgium because
they thus obtain the necessar1es OF
living on much better terms. BY rea-
son of free raw materials the manu-
facturers of Holland and Belgium have
a decided advantage over Protection
list countries in both export and I'M
port trade. But the grandest example
of the blessings of free trade Is pre-.
sented by this Republic OF 80,OoO,OoO
inhabitants, whose interstate trade is
not vexed by a custom. Thanks TO
the president wisdom of our ancestors
when they ordained the government,
this freedom will endure forever.
Without this barrier the Republican
tariff-mongers, in obedience to their
policy, would seek to establish cor
don of custom houses on both sides
of every river and boundary line that
separates the States and call 1t Pro-
lection.
