Maryland Oysters.
re Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
In quantity and quality they are here
to tickle the palate. They have been here
ever since September. but in these cool
days of the fall they taste more delight
full and look more palatable than they
have done before. Those who take a half
dozen on the half-shell, or who tote home
q barrel of the bivalves and amuse them
selves by shocking them, are ready to
avow that they are the largest for years.
In fact, one Is ready to put the present
season oysters up against those told of
by the earliest veracious noters of the
chief Chesapeake product, who in a jour-
nal left of their observations tell Of eat
ing luscious Maryland oysters foot long.
The narrative does not say whether
shucked OF unshucked Of such proper
tions. but 1t is not to be doubted that a
whole oyster could be persuaded to slip
down the palates even though a foot long.
The finest oysters can be obtained at a
small cost, and the consumption, however
extensive. need not be regarded raid
upon the beds. There is enough and to
spare. without the oyster Maryland
would not be Maryland. and the Star
Spangled Banner would have waved over
a watery expanse devoid of its enchant-
ment and allurement. The Maryland oys-
ter Is the highest pledge the Marylander
has of cuisine aristocracy.

process. Let them take q nervous and
expectant people into their confidence.
That Is what they are In once for.
1t Is up to the President. say the demo-
Gratis. It IL up to Congress. say the great
majority OF the republicans. AS mat
ter Of fact, It Is up to both, and next
year It will be UP to the voters. Catch
phrases are not Of much value at time
like the present. The country knew last
year that by electing democratic House
1t would be playing one branch OF Gen.
gress against the other, with the Presi-
dent, holding the veto power as referee.
Nothing was done in a corner, or In the
dark. The existing situation, therefore,
is not matter Of accident. but Of cal
culation.
Who's afeared? Not the President, who
is on the eve Of taking his stand. Not
Congress. which announces ready. and
curiosity as to the Presidents lead. Not
the public, for 1t well knows that the gov
eminent will survive, regardless of the
volume of sound or any halt in action.

The McNamaras and the Lesson.

First of all. congratulations to the law
abiding neutrality-suspicious. nearly the
entire body-of organized labor. They
are put right as to very grave situa-
ton, and freed from further imposition
in behalf of as abandoned a pair OF
scoundrels as ever lived.
The ranks of union labor are filled
with worthy men, who work honestly
and faithfully for a good wage and
want only fair and just treatment. They
have homes Of their own, and families
dependent on them. Their stake in order
ly government is very great. Were an
archy to be precipitated they would lose
their all, as would the capitalists theirs
They do not want anarchy. They are
not consciously in league with men whose
ends are base and whose means abhOr-
rent.
But there is great army of these
men; and inevitably bad men enter. They
find shelter in the very size Of the
organization. And once under that shelter
they proceed in their own infamous ways
for their own Infamous purposes. They
care nothing about organized labor They
would If they could disorganize every
thing that is organized, labor with the
rest.
With their scoundrelism goes much
shrewdness of action. They have the
cunning of their craft. They are not
easily run down and exposed. Such work
could not, of course, be expected of the
rank and file of reputable laboring men,
for they are not trained detectives, and
besides have their own honest tasks in
hand. Moreover. they are slow, as other
men are, to suspect those processing
friendship and pretending to offer assist
ance.
But what reputable, law-abiding labor
should learn from this episode is that
it does harbOr. against its wishes, q very
dangerous element-as dangerous to itself
as to all other interests-and that it
should bestir itself to root out every vile
agency masquerading in its name. A
charge of guilt is not conviction. But
neither is a denial Of a charge an as
surance of innocence. OF course the Nc
Namaras pleaded not guilty. and were
entitled to hearing. But there was an
inexcusable and regretable haste on the
part of many in accepting the counter
charge that the accused were the victims
of conspiracy. and that the dynamite
found at the time Of their arrest had
been planted" against them.
1t is easy, and words wasted. to char
acterize the McNamaras. They are hui
man only in form. They are fiends in
carnate. Creatures guilty Of what they
have confessed to are beyond the pale
Of sympathy. They are a disgrace not
only to organized labor, but to humanity.
The wonder is that these brothers should
so long have hoodwinked men Of intel
ligence, and good purposes with whom
they have associated.

Mr.. Taft and denomination.

In the matter of a denomination for the
man In the White House, the history or
the republican party Is interesting ana
quotable at this time:
Mr.. Lincoln was threatened with retire.
ment as the end of his first term ap-
preached Some OF the most prominent
members Of his party thought he had
failed in office. and favored new man
for 1854. Luckily for the whole country
for the south as for the north-their ad-
vice was Ignored, and Mr.. Lincoln was re-
nominated and reelected. And lucky
would it have been for the whole country
II that great life had been spared. Under
so wise and conciliatory leader. we
should have been saved from the extreme
features Of the reconstruction era, and,
at a much earlier day than the one re-
corded, the two sections would have been
firmly knitted together again.
Gen. Grants second term was not sue

had been elected? Always an emotional
man, and without experience In executive
office, he would probably have been pulled
hither and yon by the strong and selfish
interests surrounding him.
Gen. Harrison had to fight for his Sec
ond nomination, but II he had missed 1t
the choice would have fallen on Mr..
Blaine. who probably would not have
lived to see election day. As 1t was. with
out having to meet any OF the exactions
Of the campaign, he did not live to see
Mr.. Cleveland inaugurated. The change
decreed at the polls threw the country
into acute distress. and the four years be-
tween 1893 and 1897 rank as the most dis
astrous in our history in times OF peace.
Lucky would it have been for the coun-
try If Gen. Harrison's successful four
years had been heightened to eight.
Mr.. Mckinley had no trouble securing
Endorsement either from his party or the
country. and had he lived would probably
have duplicated In his second term the
success he had achieved In the first. For
one thing in particular, he would Ii

with Congress and the country to put the
proper measure through. But when he
passed the subject was allowed to drift,
and the longer it drifted the more embar-
raising 1t became.
1t is for the friends Of Mr. Taft to con-
slider that the opposition to the renomina-
ton OF Mr.. Lincoln, of Gen. Grant and Of
Gen. Harrison was supported by some Of
the most eminent republicans Of those
days. Each Of those Presidents was &C.
cused. as Mr.. Taft now is. OF having

did not prevail. and that It did not Is
