A WORTHY APPROPRIATION.

SENATOR WILLIAMS, of Anne Arundel county,

recently introduced a bill in the Senate to appropriateannually $7,000, to pay $135 each toward the educa-tion of fifty-two young men, two (rom each county

and six from Baltimcre City, at St. John’s College, Annapolis,Md., the appointee to pay the remainder of cost.

It seems as though this is one of the most worthy bills in-troduced during the present session.

How many deserving young men could thus be enabledto secure the advantages of a course of higher education ifthey had $135 a year provided by the State, and what would

it increase the tax rate? .000994 per cent. Taxable basis ofthe State being £704,257,537.

By an increase of .000994 per cent, in the tax rate it ishoped that fifty-two desiring young men will be aided inpursuing a course of higher education, without which aidthey could not hope to secure.

Surely this bill should receive the support of every mem-ber of the present legislature who is earnestly looking for theadvancement of the State of Maryland.

THE calamity men and the 1-told you-sos are consider-ably disappointed at the record in Cuba during diepast year, under American administration. Theisland has not only been made self-supporting, but

has to her credit for the year 1899 a surplus ol #2,260,000.

ONE of the most significant features of the meeting ofthe Democratic National Committee, in Washing-ton, was the power exercised by ex-Senator Gor-man. It was his influence that knocked out the

plan, fathered by Mr. Bryan, of holding the Democratic Con-vention in advance of the Republican Convention, and it wasalso his influence that caused Kansas City to he chosen forthe convention after Milwaukee seemed to have a cinch. Mr.Gorman’s powerful and unexpected influence in the com-mittee is not relished by the Bryan worshipers. He haspublicly said that he would support Mr. Bryan if he wasnominated, but lie has not said that he will help get him nomi-nated. Mr. Gorman is one of the slickest politicians in thecountry, and there is very little doubt that he will keep Mr.Bryan out of the nomination, if he can find away to do it.

THE latest thing in the way ofa Chicago anti-trust con-vention has met, adjourned, and its delegates returnedto their respective homes without so much as castingone clear ray of light upon the problem of what shall

be done with the trusts. And this convention has accomplish-ed fully as much as has candidate Bryan along this line.

OPPONENTS of protection, what few there are leftof them, who are exhibiting ghoulish glee over thefact that importations in the United States arerapidly increasing even under the Dingley law, have

probably not learned that this increase in imports is almostexclusively in material, for use in manufacturing, which cannot be produced in the United States, and in food stuffs, ab-solutely required by the masses, which are not produced inthe United States in sufficient quantities for consumption.Manufacturers’ materials, which formed in 1880 25 per cent, ofthe importations, now form 33 per cent, of our imports, de-spite the fact that the actual volume of the importations hasgreatly increased meantime. The total value of raw materialfor manufacturing imported in 1880 was $160,000,000, and in1899 was 1267,000,000.

IN the year 1800 the per capita money circulation was f 4.9 j.In IS6O it was #13.85, and in tgoo it is #25.98, the highestin the history of the country.

T HEREVER our (lag is raised, there is the spirit•• \/\/ of 1776, which is that a man has rights because

Y V he is a man. The question of expansion Usimple. We are not at any parting of the

ways. Ifthe extension of our principles means right and in-.-tice, they cannot be extended too far.”

Father Stafford at the meeting of the Loyal Legion, Washington, D. C., February 221!.

THE delight of the Democratic editors and orators overthe new found issue relative to ex-Consul Macrum,and his statement that an alliance exists between theUnited States and Great Britain, was of very short

duration. President McKinley and Secretary Hay demolishedit by sending a letter to Congress, in answer to a resolution ofinquiry, stating that Consul Macrum’s charges of interferencewith his mail by the British were apparently unfounded, andthat certainly the assertion that there is any secret alliance oragreement between the United States and Great Britain isabsolutely untrue. The letter calls attention to the fact thatthe Constitution expressly prohibits such alliances or agree-ments.

kUnion you fought for is to-day stronger, miglit-

i ier, freer than it ever was before. The standard1. you fought for is stronger than it ever was before.

There has been within the past two years a re-union of all the people, a reunion sanctified by a commonsacrifice. Followers of Grant and Lee have fought with equalvalor and have fought in the same cause.”

President McKinley to his companions of the Military-Order of the Loyal Legion, Washington, D. C., February 22d.

THE official announcement that the British losses inSouth Africa in the few months since the war beganhave amounted to u,coo men shows how absurd werethe complaints and attacks upon the administration

with reference to the losses of life in our recent war. Thespectacle of men seeking to embarrass those who have theadministration of their government in a time of national warand thus national peril, for the purpose of making politicalcapital out of such unjust charges, ought to render their ex-pressions and advice of little consequence in the future.

EX-SENATOR EDMUNDS put a quick stop to thereport that he would join the so-called anti-imper-ialists in supporting Bryan by saying: “It is absurd tothink Iwould vote for Bryan under any circumstances.

I agree with Senator Hoar that however much we may differwith what seems to be the Republican Philippine policy, itwill be impossible to support Bryan. He stands for so manythings that are antagonistic to Republican principles that 1would trust my own party before I would join him. We musttake the average of things and not he influenced by a singlefact.’’

THE finance bill agreed upon by the House and SenateConference Committee, which will probably becomea law without further change, is considered a strongermeasure than was either the House or Senate bill.

There was at no time during the conference any differencebetween the Republican conferees as to the object sought—-to give the United States the best financial system and thehighest credit, the week’s discussion was on how best toaccomplish that, and the result is success, and an improve-ment upon the bills as passed by the two branches of Con-gress.

MACHINE-MADE CHARITY.

NO SYMPATHY, no benevolence is practical or doesmuch good unless it is real, personal and unaffected.Most of the good that is done to the poor, the outcast and the criminal is done by personal contact.

The real good which reaches and blesses the unfortunatecomes from Christly and neighborly ministration. Ifone hasnot the power ofputting himself in sympathy with such classes,he had, as a rule, belter let them alone. Not every man, norevery society of men, that essays to provide for the poor, toinstruct the ignorant, and to help the helpless understands thebusiness. The tonic power of heartfelt sympathy, like manyan herb of the valley, is unknown in the market-places ofphilanthropy. The Samaritan attends to the wounds ol fitspatient before lie leaves him at the inn; but most charitableorganizations think that they have discharged their full dutyin footing the bills, and forget that there are certain rarespiritual tonics that refresh and strengthen the heartsick.

The age is machine-loving. Everything is done by ruleand contrivance. There are all sorts of cunning machinesfor the simplest process. So in the department of ethics,there are religious and social machines without number.

“Has any man, or any society ol men,” says Carlyle.” apiece of spiritual work to do, they can in nowise proceed atonce, and with the mere natural organs, but must first call apublic meeting, appoint committees, issue prospectuses,, eata public dinner; in a word, construct or borrow machinerywherewith to do it.” The rugged old Scotchman rightlyintimates that such methods are unnatural. And for us, thequestion is serious and pertinent, whether in our love for themechanical we are not losing sight ol the personal element.

The Master entered into natural and personal relationswith every human being that made a claim on His sympathy.His heart overflowed with the “enthusiasm of humanity.”Only as something of that enthusiasm takes possession of us,and a new force is generated in our lives, can we make alasting impression on the problem.—H. C. Kegley, in Satur*day Evening Post.
