the following:
At a banquet of the St. John’s
alumni, held last Thursday evening at
the Country Club. Mr. John I’. Poe
made a happy speech, in which he said
he was glad the occasion of the alumni t
dinner of Mr. John S. Wirt's afm/i i
mater was so arranged as to allow that '
gentleman's boom for Governor to be *
started. Mr. Poe then eulogized Mr. *
c s
Wirt in most flattering terms, and an- (
nounccd that “No man would be so ac
ceptable to the people of Maryland." S
Mr. Wirt has been asked to allow the f
mo of his name as a candidate for that 1
olliee, but so far bas not given his con- *
sent. He was a member of the State *
Senate from Cecil county during the (
session of 1890 and 1892, and a dele- t
gate in the last House from the same ‘
county. Ho has always ranked as a 1
leader in Lis party. The .ftyfsof June *
3d, 1898, had the following editorial,
which we reprint: ,
“Although the election of Governor is a ,
good ways off, yet the Democrats, real- ,
i/.ing their excellent opportunity for re
gaining control of the State government, ;
are commencing to east their eyes about
for a gubernatorial canditatc. It seems to ,
be conceded that it must be a county man, ,
as Baltimore city bas never been very suc
cessful in furnishing good material. It s
has been strongly argued that as the East- i
ern Shore was robbed by the Republican i
party of its birthright of a United States t
Senator, that the nominee should come
from that section of the State. i
“Should this be conceded, we know of
no one who is more acceptable than Hon. ,
John S. Wirt, of Cecil county. He is a
young man, brainy and eloquent, who has
already seen much public service, but like
few of our politicians came out no richer
than he went in, except what he gained in
the estimation of his fellow citizens for
his fearless, open, honest course.
“We do not know that Mr. Wirt will be
a candidate, but we do know that if he is
nominated he will be elected by a hand
some majority and Maryland will have in
the Executive Mansion one of the best
Governors she has ever had.”
FA KM LANDS IN SOUTHERN
MARYLAND.
In its issue of the 23rd inst. the Bal
timore Hun published an interesting
letter from Mr. William L. Xesbit, of
Lcwisburg, Pa., in regard to the op
portunities for the profitable invest
ment of capital in practical agriculture
i.i certain sections of this State. In
an editorial the ,S says:
‘‘Mr. Xesbit, who is a farmer of ex
perience and a member of the Pennsyl
vania board of agriculture, is familiar
with the region drained by the Patux
ent river, especially the marl-belt sec
tion, and expresses the opinion that it
offers a rich field for the judicious co
operation of capital and skillful man
agement. He thinks it would be a
great advantage to the State if Penn
sylvania tenant farmers could be se
cured to aid in the development of tiiese
sections on the basis which he sug
gests. Several projects of this char
acter arc already under way, and a
company has been formed for the pro
motion of this general purpose. There
is room, however, for the profitable em
ployment of large additional capital,
and there are indications that interest
has been aroused in the subject in finan
cial quarters, as well as among agri
cultural classes in this and other coun
tries. Dr. A. Kuipcr, the Dutch econ
omist who visited Baltimore in Novem
ber ol last year, writes to Dc Grond
wet, a Dutch paper published in Hol
land, Mich., from Amsterdam, under
date of January IC, 1899, that he Las
received numerous inquiries with re
gard to Dutch colonization in Mary
land. He speaks favorably of the ad
vantages of situation and the prospects
of success for Dutch farmers on the
Eastern Shore and in the southern
counties of Maryland, and his calm and
unprejudiced statement can scarcely
fail to exercise great influence among
those of lus countrymen who arc look
ing {> r a better agricultural location. v
President McKinley acted wisely in
selecting Attorney General Clabaugh
to succeed Judge McComas. lie is a

THE PRINCE GEORGE’S ENQUIRER—UPPER MARLBOROUGH, MARYLAND. FEBRUARY 24. 1599.
AN IMPORTANT
fxffri m i:nt.
The Slate of New York, says the Spring
tiehl is to ho the first to insti
tute an experiment in scientific forestry.
Thirty thousand acres of timberland in the
Adirondack region, recently purchased by
the State, is to he placed in charge of the
new State College of Forestry connected
with Cornell University, at the head of
which i> Prof. B. E. Fernow, for some
years past chief of the forestry division at
Washington. It is Professor Fernow s
purpose to make the reservation self sup
porting. He even expects to obtain a
profit from it for the State. He will treat
the forest as he would any vegetable crop,
weeding out superfluous growth, cutting
off and selling mature timber, planting
anew and experimenting in the introduc
tion of valuable timbers.
SUII LEV’S Ulll’lA .
The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Tint'* says:
In the Senate particularly the reply of
Schley was a topic of discussion in cloak
rooms and committee rooms. Everybody
was disposed to concede that Admiral
Schley has modestly but effectually dis
posed of the claims of the pretender Samp
son and his bureaucratic backers. More
over as Senator Pettigrew said:
“Admiral Schley has convicted the
Secretary of the Navy of being a willing
accomplice of Sampson in the effort to
defame the real hero of that entire naval
campaign; or else the Secretary of the
Navy has been himself misled by the up
start pretender. It is stated that the files
of the Navy Department do uot now con
tain a copy of the letter of Sampson order
ing Schley to remain at Cicnfuegos. If
that letter cannot be found on the files of
the Navy Department, then Captain Samp
sou should be made to feel that the
patience of the people has been exhaust
ed. The Secretary of the Navy should
maintain his own self-respect by with
drawing from an indefensible.”
One of the titled naval officers who was
a hero in the civil war says: “Secretary
Long evidently does not know what the
use of those words, ‘reprehensible con
duct", mean in the navy. If it is true that
Admiral Schley was guilty of ‘reprehen
sible conduct' he should have been court
martialed. Instead of that, be received
the commendation of Sampson for every
thing that he did until he won the great
victory; after that, and since that time,
Captain Sampson has been endeavoring
to belittle the man who originally outrank
ed him, and who subsequently outranked
him in matters of achievement and per
formance.”
At the Army and Navy Club, an old
officer, who lias often given sage sugges
tions, to-night said: “Some rascal has led
McKinley to believe that the Democrats in
tend to nominate Bryan and Schley. Now
mark my words. The entire power of the
administration will be used to smirch
Schley just as it lias been and is being
used to smirch General Miles. Sigsbce,
Lee, Miles, Schley, Dewey and every
soldier and sailor who has achieved prom
inence lias been sent into the background
under executive orders. There is method
iu it all. Look out for squalls for Schley.
Every mistake of his lifetime will be
paraded before the public."
Another old officer, who knows them
both, interjected the remark: “I am ready
to bet big odds that both Schley and .Miles
will stand any amount of scrutiny. Their
lives have been sublime, and in their
crucial days they can stand any tests."
PRODUCTS OF THE SOUTH.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, iu dis
cussing the productive possibilities of the
South and the problem of negro labor
made the following observations:
“The pressing question is, what is the
laborer down South who has been grow
ing cotton and is not getting enough for
his product to do in the future to enable
him to live comfortably, not to speak of
improvements in his condition, education
and all that? The cotton crop leaves very
little that is valuable for domestic animals
after the picking is done, thus differing
from the corn crop of the Northwestern
States.
“There is a by-product, the cottonseed,
that is exceedingly valuable as a nutrient,
and much good work is being done by
scientists at experiment stations to show
how valuable cottonseed is for feeding
purposes. The great cotton growing in
dustry of the South is not up to date. The
nitrogen content is greater than that of
any of the grains, it is richer in nitrog
enous matter than peas or beans, richer
than gluten, meal or oilcake.
“The Northern feeder aud the European
feeder have been using this by-product of
the cotton-fields with great advantage to
them, while the loss of its fertilizing qual
ities to the South lias been very great.
“From a fifth to a fourth of all the fat
of all the milk ou the farms of the L nited
States is lost because people do not thor
oughly understand when to churn cream.
The churning process is an art having
much science underlying it. But the cot
ton grower of the South only needs to
learn the way, while the man who teaches
him can understand the science.
“The South can prepare the spring lamb
much earlier than the North can. The
Southern landowner understands horse
raising. There is always a greater demand
for saddle horses than is supplied. The
world wants carriage and draft horses and
good roadsters. Early spring chickens—
the broilers —can be produced down there
because they have milder winters and
milder springs than wc have, and the
Northern market can be supplied. Should
the market become over-supplied we can
send this product abroad in the refriger
ated compartments of our steamships.
••It seen.- to me that the necessities of
the occasion are up to the intelligent land
owner of the South. He should inform
himself on these lines, lie should have
done it years ago. The sciences which re
late to agriculture would stand him in
good stead, while his diploma from a lit
crarv institution is worth very little to
him. It is not too late. Improvement
along these lines cannot he expected to
| originate with the laboring men of the
South; it must begin w ith the men of edu
cation.”
| Col. William •!. Bryan was given a ban
| quel in Routine, Midi., on Monday night.
He made a speech, saying that the fighting
i at Manila eould be stopped easily by the
j President, who could make friends instead
I of foes of the Filipinos by merely assuring
| them that the American soldiers are not
j there to rob them of their independence,
but to maintain order aud help them to
* establish a stable government.
DEMOCRATIC I’KI.MARIES.
The democratic committee of seven inis
decided that the democratic primaries d
in Baltimore shall be held on March 2Sth. S
between I'2 o’clock noon and 8 p. in. il
Some members of the committee favor- a
oretl the holdingof the primaries the w eek i,
following the republican primaries on ;
March 21, but it was decided to put them i p
off for another week so as to make the j w
campaign short and sharp. The com- j e
mittee met Monday afternoon to take up .1
the consideration and reach a conclusion S
on the plan to be pursued in selecting o
Judges and clerks for the primaries. c
The committee will probably invite the t
recommendation of such officials by the n
ward executives and the candidates, the c
committee to pass finally upon the fitness
of those recommended. u
The Democratic Asociation, which ex- g
Governor Brown has worked hard to : i
have organized, met Monday night at its y
headquarters, 21* North Charles street,
to effect an organization, either temporary (
or permanent, and to gel in working
order. The association will be organized
to assist the party in getting good candi
dates to go on the municipal ticket. n
Ex-Governor Brown, who suggested v
the organization, has stated upon more t
than one occasion that he lias no eandi- C
date for any office. It Is possible that the j
association may indorse two or more o
candidates for some one office, the eandi- y
dates being each equally desirable.

MARYLAND PUBLIC (
SCHOOLS, t
- c
The annual report of the State board -if u
education, recently issued from the press (
of King Brothers, of which notice has al- n
ready been made iu the Sun, gives statis- c
tics which arc always interesting. I here C
is no branch of the public service which c
comes closer to the people than the man- v
agemeut of the public free schools. Mary- j
land was one of the pioneer States in pro- s
viding educational facilities. The cause 1
of education is dear to the hearts of the t
people, and they are quick to resent any a
wrongdoing,partisanship of iueompetency t
iu school management. This volume of
reports and statistics has been made and t
compiled by Mr. Preltyman, the secretary g
of the board, in a peculiarly intelligent c
manner. 1
There arc in Maryland 2,465 pubic r
schools, of which 2,273 arc in the counties ;
and the pupils attending numbered 236.003, I
of whom 94,708 were in the city and 141,- t
295 in the counties. This is in proper- i
tion to the respective population of city I
and counties, indicating that a greater i
proportion of the children attend school s
in the city than iu the country, because a .
far larger proportion of city children at- i
tend private schools than in the country, i
That more children attend schools in the s
city than in the country is, of course, to t
be expected. Because of the nearness of <
schools and the good pavements,city chil- i
dreu begin school at an earlier age. If ]
it xvcrc possible it would add to the in- i
tcrcsl and value of these annual reports i
of the State board of education to include i
such statistics and information of the pri- i
vatc schools and colleges of the State as
may be obtainable.
The cost of conducting public schools i
of the State for the year covered by this
report was $3,053,326,80, nearly equally
divided between city and counties. The
cost of each pupil in the counties is given
at $8.12, aud in city at $19.08. The esti
mate of cost, however, is based upon
average attendance, aud is, therefore, per
haps misleading, as the cost must be
governed to a great extent by the maxi'
mum number of pupils, and not by the
average. The amount of money spent
upon the public schools iu the State is
raised by an average tax, including county
city and State, of more than fifty cents on
the hundred dollars, supplemented by
oyster license funds and some other small
items iu some of the counties. When wc
add to this the great sum annually paid
by the State to schools aud colleges not
in the public school system and the amount
paid by the people for private schools, it
will appear that Maryland spends money
for education with a most liberal hand.
The report shows a gratifying increase
in the number of schools, teachers and
pupils, as well as iu expenditures. In
deed, the increase iu pupils in the city
and some of the counties is so great that
there is the utmost difficulty in making
receipts keep pace with it. There is a
; constant demand for more money, more
schoolhouses and more teachers. In many
: places schoolhouses are overcrowded, to
the detriment of health and discipline.
To make the classes too large is an injus
■ tice to both teacher and pupil, but princi
pally to the pupil. It entails a waste by
i the pupils of the most precious time in
: their lives. Where to get this additional
i revenue is a puzzle, for tuxes arc already
• as high as the people are willing to stand.
It is not unlikely that the $150,000 appro
printed annually by the State to provide
1 books free of cost to the children could
be more advantageously employed in pro
. viding more schoolhouses and more teach
' ers.—Baltimore Sun.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington - , D. C., February 20th. ]
Mu. Emrois: —According to a statement t
made by a member of the Court of Inquiry, j
w hich this week begins the taking of tes- f
limony on the embalmed beef charges, the a
Court regards itself as sitting as a Court- t
Martial to trv General Miles on the charge ‘
1
of lying, although without authority to
pass sentence should it find him guilty.
No other construction can be placed upon
this language, used by the member of the
Court referred to: “We look to Gen. Miles :l
to prove his allegations. We have no J;
concern as to the w itnesses as to that side i
of the inquiry, and it is incumbent upon 3
Gen. Miles to secure and produce before
us those whom he expects to establish his
case." In other words, the Com t believes
Gen. Miles guilty, but will give him a
chance to prove otherwise. Gen. Miles
will produce sixty-odd officers who re- 1
ported from the tit-I<l against the beef is- c
sued, including Gov. “Teddy” of New ‘
York, and the proof w ill be made so hot j
that it is likely to scorch Secretary Alger I
aud other officials as well-as the beef con- t
tractors. j
There is some talk of a compromise on
the Army bill, which is now before the
Senate, but it is not coming from demo
crats. Senator Cockrell, who reported the J
democratic bill to the Senate, says that j
measure will give the administration, tern- £
porarily. all the trooj s it can possibly ‘
have any need for, and that further than (
that he and Ids democratic colleagues arc ,
not inclined to go. It is believed by many
that the semi-reputation of imperialism
made by Mr. McKinley in bis Boston
speech was intended to help the Hull
Army bill in the Senate. This may or
may not be true. Democrats in Congress
were glad, of course, that Mr. McKinley i
should have disclaimed imperial inten- 1
tious, but, believing the saying that acts
count far more than words, and, having
their wits about them, they fail to see the
point of the disclaimer, while he insists
upon having at his command a large stand
ing army, and refuses to accept the demo
cratic offer of a temporary force large
enough for his admitted intentions. The
Hull bill provides a large number of juicy
plums in the shape of commissions for
civilians iu the regular array, and the at
tempts is being made to get democratic
and populist support for the bill by offer
ing big chunks of this patronage to Sena
tors. This week is likely lo determine
whether the bill can be passed or not.
The scheme to make this government
pay a private company a subsidy of $160,-
060 a year for 20 years for the use of a
Pacific cable, was thought to have been
knocked out sometime ago, tint it is on
deck again as an amendment to the Sun
dry Civil bill, proposed by Senator Frye.
It cannot be knocked out in the Senate ou
a point of order as the Nicaragua Canal
bill was in ihe House, nor can the same
tactics be followed in the House when the
bill goes back with Senate amendments.
That is why the Senators who are trying
to get tlie Nicaragua Canal bill through
have had what is practically the Hepburn
bill added to the Hiver and Harbor bill, as
an amendment. They have not under
taken an easy job as it is understood that
Czar Heed lias declared his intention to
prevent Canal legislation, no matter what
is to be held up to do so, but the Senators
are confident of getting the best of the
Czar, who is said to oppose the Canal only
because lie is unwilling that work should
be begun upon it under the MeKmlcy ad
minist ration.
There are few democrats in Congress
who are opposed to our paying the $20,-
000,000 to Spain which the treaty of peace
calls for. as most of them recognize it as a
treaty obligation which must be paid.
After the ruling out on a point of order
of the Nicaragua Canal bill, as an amend
ment to the Sundry Civil bill, it was only
a question of waiting for the same point
to be raised against the amendment pro
viding for this appropriation, for it to re
ceive the same treatment. Two separate
bills have already been introduced making
this appropriation, one by Mr. Cannon and
one by Mr. Gillett. The latter’s bill also
contains the McEuery resolution, which
the Senate adopted last week. When a
vote is taken on this appropriation there
will not be half a dozen democrats re
corded against it, although the democrats
are all practically opposed to the perma
nent retention of the Philippines. The
prompt payment of this money is a ques
tion of national honor, not of policy.
Senator Tillman got in a good joke on
Senator Lindsay w hen he interrupted the
latter’s argument in favor of abolishing
the two year’s cruise that is now a portion
of the regular course of the Naval cadets,
by repeating the old time verse beginning:
“Mother, may I go out to swim.*’
Amidst the laughter of the Senators and
the occupants of tlie galleries Mr. Lindsay
declared it was the best speech lie had
ever heard Mr. Tillman make, and then
proceeded with his own speech.
Hon. ('. V. Holman, a prominent Maine
democrat, who lias been looking over the
political field iu Washington, said among
other interesting things; “It would not
surprise me to see a permanent rupture
among the republicans in the near future,
as an outcome of which Gen. Miles, Sena
tor Hoar and Speaker Heed will be found
lined up in vigorous opposition to the
President, Secretary -\lgcr and Senator
Hanna. Jn such a schisnj w<ji|bj Ijo i o
