Secretary of the Interior Ballinger, in an address at St. Paul on Wednesday, spoke scornfully of the Insurgent Republican movement against Cannonism and Aldrichism. "I wouldn't call it a joke," he remarked condescendingly, "but it is much magnified." Mr. Ballinger speaks lightly and disparagingly of a movement which more experienced Republican observers regard with consternation. They are in touch with the Republican masses in the West, and realize the intensity of the hostility which exists in that quarter 1 to the policies which Speaker Cannon and Senator Aldrich have forced their party to accept.
Secretary Ballinger has a very contemptuous opinion of what he describes as Republican "insurgency." Perhaps if were absolutely frank he would not hesitate to call it a "joke." But there are none of the elements or qualities of a "joke" in the causes which have provoked Republican revolt in the West. Is it a "joke" for a Republican Congress, called in special session by the President to revise the tariff in the interest of the consumer, to pass a law which piles additional burdens upon the people, increases the cost of living and reduces the purchasing power of every man's earnings? Senator Aldrich and Speaker Cannon were not in a joking frame of mind when they shaped the tariff legislation of the Sixty-first Congress. They were looking out for the interests of the privileged beneficiaries of the protective tariff system, and gave no heed to the effect which excessive duties would have upon the masses of the people. That is the reason the Republican Insurgents of the West are in revolt, why they are determined to destroy Cannonism and Aldrichism. Mr.
Ballinger may think it is very amusing that men who feel that they are being subjected to extortion, that they have been handed over to the tariff-protected trusts and interests to be despoiled, should rise against their oppressors. It may tickle his sense of humor immensely that Republicans in the West should object to the enormous advance in the cost of the necessaries of life. But the West does not share his mirth, It cannot see where the "joke" comes in. It is taking its wrongs so seriously that the Taft administration is deeply concerned at the situation. Mr.
Ballinger may feel in a jocose mood, but he is about the only man prominently associated with the Administration who is gay and light-hearted. Is it a "joke" to let the natural resources of the country pass. into the control of monopolies to make it easier for combinations of land-grabbers to obtain possession of waterpower sites in the West and rich coal fields of Alaska? There are a great many Republicans in Republican strongholds in Western States who do not appreciate the humor of such a policy. They are intensely in earnest in opposing the sacrifice of the people's heritage. It is no joking matter with them, although their opposition to an easy-going policy of conservation may provoke Mr.
Ballinger's merriment. The trouble with Mr. Ballinger is that he has an abnormally developed sense of humor. It may prove no joke to Mr. Ballinger's party when the people get a.
chance to say what they think about it. THE SCALES OF FAME. How are we to estimate the elusive thing called eminence? How are we to separate the truly great of our species from the near great, the quasi great and the pseudo great? Sir Francis Galton devoted half a dozen chapters of his "Hereditary Genius" to the problem-and left it unsolved. No doubt the standards of the race vary from year to year, and even from day to day. Shakespeare himself has had his ups and downs: so have John L.
Sullivan and Dr. Cook; the place of other men, such as Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, Caruso and the Kaiser Wilhelm, seems chronically wobbly. Prejudice and popular whim enter largely into the matter, and so we must be satisfied with rough and ready criteria.
One of them is thought to be found in the price lists of the autograph dealers. When the contemporaries of a man are willing to invest hard cash in his old letters it is held by some to prove beyond a doubt that his fame is secure. If we accept this theory as sound, it becomes possible to estimate est the comparative eminence of various men by comparing the prices demanded for their letters. But are we ready to believe that Rudyard Kipling is nearly four times as eminent a personage as William Jennings Bryan? The suggested theory, it quickly appears, demands that conclusion, for the market value of a Kipling letter is $12.50, while Bryan letters may be had for $3.75 apiece. It is possible, however, that the law of supply and demand has something to say in this case, for Mr.
Bryan, as everyone knows, is an exceedingly copious correspondent, whereas Kipling has a holy horror of letter writing. But James McNeill Whistler, the artist and wit, was also an assiduous epistolaire, and yet his letters now bring $6. Perhaps the fact that Whistler is now dead has strengthened the market. William Dean Howells is in the $1.25 class, and so are most other living novelists and poets. But a letter from the pen of Thomas Hardy, author of "Tess of the D'Urbervilles," is worth $5, and one written by Hall Caine brings $2.75.
Sarah Bernhardt is in the $5 class, with Junius Brutus Booth, James A. Garfield, Lord Macaulay, Dr. Louis Pasteur and Henry Clay. A letter signed by John Quincy Adams is worth but $7.50, but one signed by General Grant brings $30, and one bearing Andrew Johnson's name is a bargain at $75. But why is a Thackeray letter worth $37.50, while a Dickens letter may be had for Is this an indication that critical opinion and popular opinion are diverging? CO-OPERATION OF CHARITY ORGANIZATIONS.
The formation of a children's bureau by five of the leading charity organizations of Baltimore is a step toward practical coin solving one of the most ditheperation cut problems with which organized charity deal. There is a sound basis for the has to those who projected this conviction of movement that more can be accomplished for the unfortunate child, homeless and friendless, as is often the case, by the concerted action of all the charities directed by one bureau than by a single agency. There is no charity which appeals more powerfully and directly to the sympathy of humane men and women than that which concerns itself with the care of unfortunate children. Whatever makes the improvement of their condition, for prompt and adequate action in affording them protection and placing them under wholesome influences, is worthy of encouragement. It is to be hoped that the plan of co-operation proposed by the organizations engaged in this noble work will produce substantial results.
THE RAID UPON THE ANNEX PAVING LOAN. No extensive argument is needed to show the viciousness of the a amendments which interested persons are trying to fasten upon the $5,000,000 Annex paving loan enabling act, now before the Legislature. By the terms of the act in its original form the Board of Awards will enjoy a good deal of leeway in dealing with paring contractors. When the time comes to pave a given street it will prepare specifications covering all sorts of improved pavements, and upon those elastic specia fications the contractors for the different materials will base their bids. The board will then proceed to examine the bids and make its award.
That award will be based, not alone upon the prices 1 named, but also upon the materials offered. In other words, the board will be free to make the best bargain possible. If it is convinced, for example, that a certain material at $2.50 a yard will make a better pavement for the street in question, and last longer and with fewer repairs, than some other material at $2, it will be free to choose the former. The amendments offered at Annapolis will rob of that freedom. If they are adopted, it will be compelled to confine the bids on street to one material, and so invite combinations the contractSaco, ors who handle that material, or else to give every contract to the lowest bidder, without regard to material.
Now, since sheet asphalt is the cheapest of improved paving materials, though not always the most desirable, the practical effect of the amendments will be to give the sheet asphalt contractors a great advantage. That they are well aware of it and eager to hail the dawn of that happy day is shown by the fact that the amendments have been put forward at their instigation and ate being defended by their No matter how are viewed, the proposed amendments vicious: If they there are adopted by the Legislature, the paving loan will be overwhelmingly defeated at the i polls, and a very desirable public: improvement will be delayed. THE SPEAKER NO MORE A CZAR. Signs are multiplying that the days of Joseph G. Cannon as dictator of the the the the the the the the the House of Representatives are over.
He has been waging a losing battle ever since he had to barter with the Fitzgerald Democrats to secure re his own re-election. His punishment of the Insurgents by depriving them of all the good places they held on committees has only resulted in making more Insurgents. His reward of those who stood by him has not succeeded in attracting any new recruits. On three occasions recently the Speaker and his organization have been squarely outvoted. The decision of the House to allow no tampering with "Calendar" Wednesday and the large majority which voted to overrule Mr.
Cannon's decision plainly indicate that his days are numbered. More important even than the elimination of Mr. Cannon, it evinces a revolt against dictation that promises to result in more liberal rules, which will prevent the House from ever does of the Czar are again being, by one man. It controlled, over. MEASURES FOR THE CONSERVATION OF THE HEALTH OF THE NATION.
In his message to Congress last December President Taft emphasized the importance of consolidating all health agencies in the national Government in one bureau. Mr. Roosevelt was an advocate of legislation increasing the power of the national Government to deal with certain matters. concernthe health of the everywhere. ins.
Federal authorities, people, recommended, should join with all the State authorities in warring against tuberculosis. AmerIcan Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Medical Association are heartily in favor of comprehensive and practical reforms, of extending the work of the national Government and establishing adequate agencies of health conservation. In line with this policy, Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, has introduced in the Senate a bill providing for the creation of a Federal department of health, the head of which shall be a member of the Cabinet. Under the provisions of this bill all the agencies of the national Government dealing with matters relating to the health of the people will be co-ordinated and consolidated. The conservation of the health of the nation is a question of the highest importance, and an adequate solution of the problem ought to be sought and applied.
The matter is worthy of the thoughtful consideration of Congress. Essential to the health of the nation is a pure water supply. This branch of health conservation was discussed by members of the National Association on Pollution of Streams and the Disposal of Sewage at a meeting in Baltimore on Wednesday. It is the purpose of this association to ask Congress to pass a bill for the protection of the public from the pollution of water supplies. The association is engaged in a work of vital importance to the nation.
Co-operation between the national Government and State and city governments is considered essential. Existing conditions are a menace to the health of the nation, and there is imperative need of measures for the preservation of a supply of pure water. THE FORK IN TURKEY. Salih Pasha, the boss of the Turkish War Department, has just placed an order with a German manufacturer for 1,250,000 table forks for the use of the Ottoman At present the fork is an implement rarely honored by the Moslem high private. Like the sturdy burgher of Switzerland, the earthling of Sweden and the honest peasant of New Mexico, he employs the knife for all gustatory purposes.
His favorite blade comes from Damascus and is dull along one edge and ground to razor keenness along the other. With that one knife he slays his horned cattle, shaves himself, opens his mail and derricks his food. We hare no doubt whatever that when those German forks are issued to the Turkish soldiers and they ordered to use them there will be mutinies in all the barracks, followed by the usual massacres of Armenians. Our sympathy goes out, not alone to the Armenians, but also to the soldiers. The eating fork is a dangerous and useless instrument.
Foppishness, true enough, has invested it with a certain glamour, but what have simple Moslems, or any other honest folk, to do with foppishness? We always envy and respect, indeed, that man who is strong enough to eat boldly with the knife in the face of social ostracism and fastidious sneers. It was not until the, seventeenth century that the table fork began to drive out the protean rapier of the ancients. William Shakespeare, when he went to dine at the Devil Tavern, employed but two weapons at table -the spoon and the knife. The fork would have provoked his snickers. The immense battery of fantastic fish forks, salad forks, prune forks.
stew forks and goulash forks which burdens the modern dinner table and tortures the untutored diner- -at sight of that preposterous armory of cutlery he would have roared, MARYLAND MUSINGS. BY THE BENTZTOWN BARD. The Old Main Street. The old Main street- have you noticed it, How the springtime takes us back a bit From the city's strife to the quiet spell Of towns where the little children dwell. And one old street goes ambling through With both ends fields all sweet with dew, And green arith clover, where country ends And the street begins, my friends The old Main street! Why, I still sit In the shade of the maples sheltering it; And I still sing through its dust of gold As childhood sang in the days of old, When spring came back and the maples knew.
God smiled down from the sky at you And made you friendly with all the glad Wild dreams in the heart of a little lad! Jimmunny crickets! but it was sweet To dream of spring in the old Main street. And watch the meadows down Rambo's lane Till the yellow dandelions came again, And catties were bitin', and, oh my lands! A boy had so many things on hands. With runnin' errands and dodgin' women That didn't want fellers to go in swimmin'. Maybe there ain't no Main street now, But dream of it still in the spring, somehow Its stores in the Hollow, its homes out there Where the road ran west to the. meadows fair, Or east to the river and landing still Up the gradual beauty of Partridge hill, By wharves and bridges where lads could play They was Captain Kidd and had sailed away.
Oh, my! it's funny how springtime makes The old street over for old folks' sakes, With all its beautiful maples bending, Their shade with the shadows of childhood blending And barefoot boys, with their toes still thrust In the wagon furrows of golden dust, As unto the spirit in springtime came The joy of the kick-the-wicket game! The old Main street! To my dreamy eyes 'Neath the shade of the beautiful trees it lies And school time's over, and we are there, With jackets off and our brown feet bare, Goin' for catties and minnows still By the wier of the old Vinsinger mill, Or down to the meadow at twilight's gloam To find old Sukey and drive her home Joey rode a red horse clad in a suit of green armor and carrying a pink shillalah. Upon our gates of winter knocks And soon the goosebone we will lay Our TO old friend, Vernal Equinox, To sleep six months beneath the hay. Freezer sleeps beneath the hay! Sheelah's Day. The breath of an Irish morning comes back on Sheelah's day, And there in the Irish heather the bluebells dream of May; The loughs in their glory gleaming in visions before me lie, And it's over the hills of Ireland with spring in the Irish sky: Sweet Sheelah's day in the morning, darlint, and what are we, With hearts of the exile bleeding For a breath of the Irish sea! Dear day, but it's bright with beauty, the dream of the Sheelah dawn, With primrose paths of faery to the green of the Irish lawn! It all comes back in a moment, and the wind it blows once more For us on the loughs of Erin and the seas of the Irish shore: Sweet Sheelah's day in the morning, Oh, let us forget, my dear, For spite of it all, we my beauty, The dreams have followed us here It's the of Inisfalin, with the wind of Sheelah time, harps, That sing in their silver beauty the song of the Irish clime: There's Nora again and Shamus, and, oh, but the peat is bright Where they dance to the sweetheart music of the fiddles of dream tonight: Sweet Sheelah's day in the morning, How it all comes back to you, The hills of the homeland burning, The hearts of the homeland true! The breath of an Irish morning, the sweet of an Irish May, Oh darlint, but it's the magic of sweet Saint Sheelah's day! Wherever our feet may wander, whatever hearts call home, It's dreamin' again of Sheelah that's bringin' the Irish foam Sweet Sheelah's day in the morning, Sweet dream that the morning brings, Of the dear old hills of Ireland And the bloom of the Irish springs Why do men go out between Alms at the moving-picture shows? O'er Hagerstown's sweet valleys now While birds and turtles sing The famed belled buzzard makes its bow And soars on tireless wing. Uncle Pilduzer is picking fish hooks.

With Words About Mr. Konig.
Messrs. Editors: FROM THE PEOPLE Has the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad designs on our schools? It is well understood that its representative on the School Board is the most subtle and dangerous member thereof. It is well understood that this Baltimore and Ohio member is responsible for the active hostility of the Harlem Park Association against the ent management of our schools. It is generally surmised that this Baltimore and Ohio member is responsible for the position Mr. Konig.
Disguise it as he may, he can fool no one. Can the Baltimore and Ohio afford to have one of its employes on our School Board, whose only purpose is to make trouble? Public sentiment in this city is not kindly disposed in favor of corporation influence in our city affairs, and especially will it indignantly resent any interference with our public schools. It is time the new president of that road was saying to his representative on our School 1 Board: "You get off that board and give your time and attention to the duties for which the company pays you." Baltimore, March 17. CIVIC PRIDE. The St.
Patrick's Day. Holiday In The Schools--An Answer. Messrs. Editors: Some are asking why Patrick is honored by a holiday on March 17-what the Irish did to merit honor. I agree with them that there are too many holidays now, "particularly as our children are getting so little education." That anyone asks why the Irish should be honored proves that history is not taught as it should be.
Look up your history and see what the "Irish Brigade" did when everyone else flinched from the charge. "Kelly and Burke and Shey" were seldom absent at roll call. Taps has sounded for them on many a hillside, for Kelly and Burke and Shey generally fell at the front. Let them rest in their honored graves, but when anyone asks why the Irish are honored this is my answer. ERIN GO BRAGH.
Baltimore, March 16. Where Was The Irish Band And Irish Music In Yesterday's Parade? Messrs. Editors: Kindly permit the writer to comment on what was supposed to be a "St. Patrick's Day parade." A St. Patrick's Day parade without Irish music is about as much a St.
Patrick's Day parade as "Hamlet" with Hamlet left out would be a play called "Hamlet." If there are any sons of Erin musically inclined, why not get together and form a good Irish band? If we are to have St. Patrick's Day parades, for the sake of Erin don't let us have such music dished to us as we had this St. Patrick's March 17, 1910. Where was "Gary Owen," old Erin's fighting tune? The tune that cheered the brigade to do and die for France at Fontenoy, the tune the Irish regiments heard at Waterloo when they drove back the invincible Old Guard of Napoleon, the tune that inspired the Irish brigade in its wild charges against the stonewall at Fredericksburg. Imagine the descendants of these heroes marching down Baltimore street to anything but an Irish tune.
Why don't the gentlemen in charge of such parades (presumably Irish) see that Irish tunes are played, mingled, of course, with such tunes as "Dixie," "Maryland, My Maryland," "Red, White and Blue," or "The Star-Spangled Banner." If the bands here never heard of such tunes, and there are not enough musically inclined Irishmen to form a band, why not import Highland bagpipe men? They will stir the blood up and give us a tune to march by. They are of the Gaelic race anyway, twin brothers of Erin's sons. One band made a bluff of playing "The Wearing of the Green," but gave it up as a bad job a few seconds later. How can Erin's memories be perpetuated if we don't hear her fighting tunes? GAEL GLAS. Baltimore, March 17.
Criticism Of The Sun's Reports of The Opera And Its Society News Generally. Messrs. Editors: It is glaringly noticeable that the names of only a certain number of persons, and always about the same names, are mentioned in your paper as having attended the opera, whereas a great many of our best and most progressive people who do patronize the opera are never mentioned. You chose to style those you print as "society." It is not in the way of a protest that the writer complains, but a desire to be informed of the reason why these same people are always mentioned, no matter whether the announcement refers to the opera, the theatre, a bridge whist, a tea party or what not. It is the frequency and prominence of the notices given this class of people you call "the society set" that makes them feel far more important, gives them the assurance which is reflected in their condescension to all others and is accepted by them as an "ado" about them much more than is shown to royalty in Europe.
It is in fairness to all your readers that the writer asks you to explain why the 50,000 or 100,000 homes into which your paper goes are made to believe that about 50 people are the all-in-all that constitutes society. Why not be fair and mention the many others, if any at all need be mentioned, who in regard to the city's welfare are far more important? GEORGE ALDEN SMITH. In reading an account of Francis Patterson Hopkins' funeral in your paper of Wednesday I notice that you say that "the Christ Church chorister boys sang." Now the boys that sang were from St. David's, Roland Park, as Christ Church at present hasn't any boy choristers. All lovers of the Episcopal Church in this city have been anxiously awaiting during the past years for Christ Church, Emanuel Church, Grace Church and Ascension Church to start in boy choirs, and yet, for reasons best known to themselves, they haven't done so, and if this letter will only set them thinking seriously about the matter it will have accomplished its purpose.
All church choirs in England have boy choirs, and all Episcopal choirs in Boston now have boy choirs, even Trinity Church, which was the last to raise its standard So now, may I ask, why does Baltimore linger behind? Alas, I know not the answer, but let us all say earnestly, "Awake, thou that sleepest and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light LORAINE HOLLOWAY. St. David's, Roland Park, March 16.

E. TULL. Marion Station, March 16. One Who Wants Censor Aroused By Dr. Buckler's "Evident Bad Taste." Messrs.
Editors: I have read both Dr. Buckler's and Collector Clarke's remarks published in THE SUN pertaining to the excellent censorship plan. Mr. Clarke went directly to the core of the matter when he said: "Those of us who have children probably feel a little different from those who have no families." He touched immediately thousands of loving parental hearts in Baltimore: noble men and women who are ever prayerfully anxious about the future moral status of sons and daughters exposed to the dangers and temptations of city life. Dr.
Buckler displayed evident bad taste when he made an unwarrantable attack upon Mr. Clarke, whom I consider to be a gentleman of refinement and education, and also a safe and sane official: His present attitude regarding stage productions is based upon actual knowledge of tive facts. It is useless for Dr. Buckler, who is intensely imbued with "foreign notions." to pose dramatically and thunder out his anathemas against "prudish individuals" who are opposed to the promulgation of viciousness either or off the stage. The citizens of Baltimore are to be pitied if it requires "men of education and travel" to settle so important a question as how to bring up their children.
We must all develop into "globetrotters," habitues of music balls and cafes, or blase men and women of the world before being enabled to discern between morality and immorality. What if it does cost $8,000 to bring a play to Baltimore? If the play is full of gross suggestiveness, corrupting influences, flagrantly indecent and villainously rotten, the city fathers would do well to meet the "theatrical advance agent" of "twentieth century progressive stage morality" upon the suburbs of the city so as to avert this deluge of viciousness. However, when the censor ordinance is enacted into a law the members of the Council. will have done well. No ardent lover of the halycon days of the legitimate drama can fail to realize that there must be a radical cleaning out of bad plays to get "good results." Most assuredly, even "Puritanic influences" for good are much more preferable to "satanic influences" for evil.
It is undoubtedly the supreme duty of those in authority to protect the honorable manhood and virtuous womanhood of Baltimore from the contamination of impure stage productions. J. 0'C. Baltimore, March 14. Mr.
Isaac S. Field To Dr. T. H. Buckler-4 Lively Answer As To A Censor.
Messrs. Editors: On my arrival in Richmond I purchased a copy of THE SUN, which I see contains an interview of Dr. T. H. Buckler, a reply to what I had to say about a censor board.
In the first place, let me say if it is his desire to put me in the category of those who have not ordinary intelligence because I differ from him, I consider it an honor, coming from the source it does. He says he considers the question of censorship more important than I do, which, to say the least, is rather presumptuous. Many of us look at the matter from a practical standpoint, he from a theoretical. The idea of suggesting that there is censorship exercised in Baltimore! Pray, tell us where? If the learned doctor will read the eloquent sermon preached by Rev. J.
S. Keating on Sunday he may be convinced he is in error if he will acknowledge it. Rev. Dr. Keating says: "Within the last few weeks there have been enacted on the stage in this city plays that were simply reeking with filth and rottenness--plays that outrage every sentiment of modesty and decency." The original idea advocated by me as president of the Maryland Society for the Protection of Children was for a censorship to govern moving picture films exclusively, but with the reliable information obtained from Rev.
Mr. Keating I am now convinced this board should also have supervision over the theatres also in order to save our boys and girls and young men and women. I cannot see what can be gained by a further controversy with Dr. Buckler, but I felt it incumbent to reply to his last interview. ISAAC S.
FIELD. Richmond, March 14. Favors The Optometry Bill. Messrs. Editors: As a glass wearer of considerable experience, I am interested in the passage of the Optometry bill, mention of which has several times appeared in THE SUN.
In my estimation this bill is of interest to everyone who, like myself, is practically dependent upon glasses and who at the present have no assurance of skillful service from those to whom they apply for them. It is said that nearly everyone will require glasses at some time, and thus every person should be interested in securing proficient service in this line of work. An examining board proposed by the bill would go far in establishing conditions which would probably save a great many persons from the experience which I and many others have had--that of visiting several oculists and opticians before finding one of proper training and skill to successfully fit me with glasses. Nearly every trade or profession requiring skill and judgment is regulated in this way, and certainly this is of prime importance to the general public. Baltimore, March 16.
J. B. B. Great Work In Sports of The Men On The Idaho A Baltimorean Writes About It. Messrs.
Editors: The men on United States ship Idaho, at Guantanamo, Cuba, want our Baltimore friends to know through THE SUN that the "Ida" is still in the ring. We have just finished "sports week" and the "Ida" entered in every event with the other 16 ships. In every instance but one our crew either won or got a place. We won the department trophy (a silver cutter under sail) for the sailing races of all classes of ships' service boats. We won the department trophy for track athletics, also in the running matches-50, 200 yards and half-mile- -three gold medals were gathered in by the Idaho.
In baseball we are placed No. 3. On Saturday, March 5, a smoker and vaudeville were given by the Idaho Athletic and Amusem*nt Club. Fully 1,000 attended and no one left the ship hungry or thirsty. Several bouts made up the program and they were very lively affairs.
Altogether the show was very creditable, and with Kernan's scenery it would have drawn a crowd anywhere. We have a band and from it we have made an orchestra, adding a little seaman talent. A chief electrician plays the saxophone and a second-class fireman a fiddle, with a marine at the viola, and all combined, with the other talent, we muster a fine orchestra of 16 pieces. We are training now night and day for record target practice and you can bet Capt. H.
0. Dunn is keeping everybody on the move, for it is the proposition to lift the Idaho a few notches from her present position, and when the prizes are served out we will have the glad hand extended. The fleet will arrive in Hampton Roads on March 30, and hold target practice in April on the Southern drill grounds. The claim is that the Idaho is the cleanest ship in the fleet. But the other fellows say that it is because, when you step on board, a messenger boy follows you down the ladder with a swab and looks at you with a "what-kind-of-a-ballyhoo-do-you come-from?" air.
On our full speed four hours' trial we beat the contractors' time and, in fact, made the best speed she ever accomplished. Keep your eye on the Idaho, and don't get out of signal distance. BALTIMOREAN. Guantanamo, Cuba, March 9. Rap At Calvert Street Shopkeepers.

Editors: While the subject of the abandonment of Calvert Station is under discussion it may be an opportune time for me to ask if there is any good reason why more of the pavement is used by the shopkeepers near Calvert Station than in any other part of the city except Harrison street. In 20 years coming and going through Calvert Station I have invariably found the prices of these shops higher than anywhere else in Baltimore, and since their keepers must know this fact, would it- not be more seemly for them to hide their wares until the unsuspecting customer had gotten inside, instead of appropriating half of the sidewalk to spread them in his way? Perhaps the fact that they put no prices on them justifies their display, but the convenience of the travelers who have to crowd past them twice a day would be greatly served by the passage of a city ordinance compelling the keeping of their goods inside their shops. Baltimore, March 16. M.
E. SPARKS. "Now For A Straight Observance Of The Democratic Platform." Messrs. Editors: I read with great interest every day your great journal, and admire the fight you are making for morality and decent government. Your magnificent victory over the gaseous monopoly is one which should earn the undying gratitude of the people of Maryland.
Now, for a strict, faithful observance of every pledge in the last Democratic platform, and away with Bosses Stone, Mahon, et al. Then let us have another amendment disfranchising the Ethiopian, which every intelligent Caucasian can and will support. ROBERT MATTINGLY. Washington, March 15. A Virginian Makes A Point Regarding A Letter About The Insane.
Messrs. Editors: F. W. Hartley somewhat misses the point in his letter of March 10 on "The Treatment of the Insane." Charles Reade's "Hard Cash" was written to prove how easy it was in England at day to confine in an asylum for the insane an entirely sane and healthy man on the certificate of two irresponsible physicians. It further showed the iniquity of the English law which compelled such a man, when thus incarcerated, to prove his sanity, with the officials of the asylum interested (for cash) in keeping him there.
