If Issued, are to be applied to constructing the road from the northern boundary line of Calvert county to MUlersvIlle In Anne Arundel county. This would connect the lower part of Southern Maryland with the several railroad systems of that part of the State and open it to communication with Baltimore city for passenger and freight traffic The railroad will pass through the most fertile section of Anne Arundel county, where there are now no railroad facilities. It will be a link In the line to Drum Point, which will shorten the hours of travel from Baltimore to Norfolk and other points south. The harbor of Drum Point is one of the finest and best protected harbors in the world, and It is proposed to construct a naval dry dock there by the General Government. A bill to that effect has been introduced in Congress, and with the proposed railroad scheme fully assured by public-spirited action on the part of the voters of Anne Arundel the long night which has hung over the lower counties will pass away.

The General Government, the State government and the voters of the city of Annapolis have done so much to put the State capital on the high road to prosperity that the voters of the county can hardly hold back when their aid is invoked. It Is true that a favorable verdict at the polls today may mean some increase in taxes for a number of years, but it also means such development of the lower part of the county as will enable it to stand the taxation without feeling the strain. OUR LIGHT-FINGERED CARPETBAGGERS. "Trade follows the flag," declares the average "boomer" of territorial expansion. In one respect the statement Is correct.

"Trade" has unquestionably followed the flag in Cuba, and the "hustling" politicians who have been given official positions in the island have done a rushing business with the money of the Cuban people. Where "trade" has not taken the shape of bald theft It has assumed the form of almost criminal extravagance. A statement submitted to the Senate by the Secretary of War shows that of the total expenditure of from the Cuban revenues last year more than $4,000,000 was expended for salaries and for "extraordinary expenses ordered by the Military Governor." One official who went to Cuba op. a salary of $4,000 a year now receives $6,500. In addition he occupies one of the finest palaces in Havana at the expense of the Cubans and has a retinue of servants and a carriage and spanking team of horses, the cost of which Is defrayed by the Cuban treasury.

Western politicians who were accustomed to living upon' moderate compensation at home have been provided with the money to live luxuriously in Cuba. They are, of course, convinced that "trade follows the flag," and doubtless would like to carry the flag to all parts of the world where there are as good "pickings" as in. Cuba. One of Mr. Mc-Kinley's proteges In Havana, however, was not satisfied with his liberal salary and other blessings which the flag enabled, him to enjoy at the expense of the Cubans.

He is charged with growing rich by criminal "trade" methods, and If he can be taken back to the island he may be punished for his wrong-doing. Without action by Congress it is feared he will escape punishment. President McKinley, through Attorney-General Griggs, has, therefore, appealed to Congress to enact a sweeping extradition law. The United States stands in a peculiar relation to Cuba. Recently during a debate In the Senate upon the extra pay allowed military officers in violation of the Revised Statutes an Administration Senator argued that Congress had nothing to do with the government of the island.

President McKinley, it was maintained by this Senator, is the supreme authority in the island and could sanction a violation of the Revised Statutes in Cuba which would not be permitted In the United States. Cuba is under military occupation, and President McKinley's authority In the island is not limited by the laws of the United States or by the Constitution. If, however, one of the carpet-bag officials whom the President has sent to the island steals right and left and returns to the United States there Is no legal way by which he can be sent back to Cuba to be punished for his misdoings. He cannot, it appears, be tried in this country for an offense committed in Cuba. Congress, therefore, must legislate, according to the Administration view, before C.

F. W. Neely, now detained in New York, can be taken back to Cuba to be tried for the crime he Is charged with committing. Attorney-General Griggs urges Congress to pass a law providing that "all the statutes of the United States concerning extradition to foreign countries, in pursuance of treaties, shall apply to and govern extradition to the Island of Cuba while occupied by the United States in the same manner and to the same effect as though Cuba were a country with which a treaty existed stipulating and providing for extradition." The House Committee on the Judiciary Is of the opinion, however, that the questions involved in the bill drawn by the Attorney-General are of too far-reaching a character to be settled otf-hand. Some of tlje members think that the military authority which the President exercises over the island should enable Mr.

McKinley to send back to Cuba any person employed in the government of the island charged with malfeasance in office. The question is an open one, and the House Committee is evidently unwilling to take any action until it has conferred with the executive department of the Government and representatives of the Senate. It would be a pity if any of the men who are alleged to have stolen funds belonging to the Cuban Treasury shall escape punishment by flight to the United States. The scandal would be ugly enough if all those who are guilty should be punished according to their deserts. There seems to have been a great deal of official crookedness in Cuba by Mr.

McKinley's carpetbag appointees. It Is, however, the logical consequence of our Imperial policy. If Cuba had been given Independence and allowed to govern herself the American people would have escaped the shame and disgrace which have been brought upon them by greedy and unscrupulous politicians. This Government should return to the Cubans the money stolen by dishonest officials sent to the island from the United States. The next step should be to withdraw our soldiers and allow the Cubans to govern Cuba without the assistance of our light-fingered carpet-baggers.

A lO dollars isn't too much to pay for a suit made to order, when you're sure a fit goes with the suit, and when you know it win please you more a great deal more than a readymade suit. The fit of a readymade coat by the way is deceiving. It may be an right when you buy it, but after a week's wear you're so disgusted you might as well throw it away.

MONDAY. MAY 1300. CONGRESSIONAL. NOMINATIONS. We have already spoken of the vital Importance of electing a Democratic House of Representatives this year Important If a Democratic President should be chosen; doubly Important if President McKinley should be re-elected.

In the election of President the whole country votes, and while it is possible that the successful candidate might have a majority of the electoral votes without a'majority of the popular vote In the "election of Congressmen, each Congressional district votes separately for its own candidate without reference to what may happen in other districts or In other States. It may well be, therefore, and such doubtless was the intention of the framers of the Constitution, that the House of Representatives, chosen directly by the people without the machinery of electoral colleges, may more perfectly represent the popular will than a President chosen at the same election. A President may, from a variety of causes, represent the views exclusively of one portion of his own party. In the nouse of Representatives every important shade of opinion in the party, equally with the interests of every important community and section of the country, is likely to find its own representative and mouthpiece. There should be no difficulty, therefore, experienced in a Democratic district In sending to Congress a man who will represent the views and wishes of the majority of the Democratic voters in that district.

This is the theory of the Constitution in giving not only to each State, but to each Congressional district in that State, its separate and independent representation in Congress. Not only Is this the theory of the Constitution; it Is common practice for both political parties to make their nominations for Congress without reference either to the Presidential nominations or the national platforms which may be agreed upon subsequently. While the Issues are national, the nominations are local. It is Important that Maryland and each Congressional district in Maryland shall be properly represented In the next Congress. It concerns Maryland and Maryland Democrats that the best possible nominations shall be made, such as will unite the whole strength and command the individual confidence and support of the party.

We need such Congressmen no matter who is President. We are much more concerned in the legislation of the next four years than in the distribution of Federal offices. While Admiral Dewey may have been in error In supposing that the duties of President were not difficult and could easily be performed by any thoroughly honest man, he was right In saying that ihe principal business of the President is to execute the laws. Much of the trouble in which the country is now involved has grown out of the disposition of the present Executive to usurp legislative functions, to make his owns laws and to govern contrary to and without law. The restraining hand of Congress, and of a Democratic Congress, Is surely needed to restore the Government to what it was before Mr.

McKinley and his advisers decided that "the Constitution did not apply." Without Congress, or with a Congress which Is simply content to obey the decrees which are issued from the White House, the country is drifting no one knows whither. What Is wanted, therefore, beyond all else. Is a Congress animated by the spirit and guided by the letter of the Constitution. What the country needs is not a McKinley Congress nor a Bryan Congress, but a Constitutional Congress a people's and not a President's Congress. We are satisfied that this want can best be met by the election of a Democratic Congress, and that the first step to that end should be the nomination in every district of men truly representative of the character, intelligence and sound Democracy of each district.

Following the precedent of the Constitution this should become the especial business of the Democratic voters in each district without reference to what other Democratic voters may be doing in other districts in Nebraska or California or Texas, and also without reference to wTiat the Kansas City Convention, or any other convention, held for any other purpose, may do. A strong local ticket for Congress is the most powerful help that can be afforded In any State to the election of the Democratic national ticket. A strong Democratic delegation in Congress is the most valuable aid to the success of a Democratic administration if elected, the most effectual curb upon a Republican administration if needed, that the voters of Maryland can supply. To this extent the people In each State have their own destiny In their own keeping. They cannot control the voters of other States either for President or for Congress.

The vote of Maryland, for example, for President, while contributing to the general result. Is not likely to control It. But the vote of the people of Maryland for Congressmen absolutely determines the character of the State's representatives in the next House of Representatives, as the rote In each district settles the question of that district's representation. Here then is a duty the performance of which Is wholly independent of anything that the Kansas City Convention may do what platform it may adopt what candidates It may nominate for President and Vice-Presidentj Just as Maryland Democrats got together last November to elect a Governor and State officers, without reference to national politics, It is their duty to get together now to nominate for Congress candidates for whom all Democrats can rote without reference to Presidential preferences.
