MARYLAND POLITICS Interest Manifested in the Coming Congressional Election. SPECULATION AS 10 THE RESULT! Republican Representatives Hope to Receive Renominations. PROSPECT FOR DEMOCRATS Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, M4., June 1, 1898. The faet that a congressional election is to be held in the state this year is be- ginning to arouse the interest of the poll- ticians and others who take more than a passing interest in such affairs. They are beginning to speculate upon the outcome of the election, as well as upon the person- nel of the twelve nominees who are to be pitted against each other. While the republicans are confident of controlling the next delegation, they do not expect to be successful in all of the six districts, and public opinion, in so far as it is interested in the subject, is of this character. The democrats are expected to have at least two representatives in the next Congress, and some of the sanguine members of that party hope to have the delegation as they did in 1894. it is generally conceded that they (the democrats) will carry the first and second districts, and make a creditable showing in the fifth. The closely contested legis- lative fight cf a year ago has greatly en- couraged them, and they believe that the war has sidetracked the money question to a considerable extent, and are hoping that the abhorred banshee of 16 to 1 may not bring the disaster it accomplished in recent campaigns. All Want Renomination. All of the republican congressmen are candidates fer renomination, and a num- Ler of other aspirants are in the field, but at the present writing the former appear to have very much the inside track. Activ- ity—svch as there is—among the candidates is very much confined to the republicans, and specutation, especially in the city dis- tricts, as to the democratic standard bear- ers is slight. Congressman Isaac A. Barbe: > renominated by the republi eastern shore counties, but very little is entertained of his clection, and jemocrats from that section express more satisfaction as to the outlook that has characterized the utterances of membe of that party since the Waterloo of 1895. Dr. Barber's election two years ago was regarded as th and since he bas been in offi estranged from the bulk of his party in the istrict. He has had the misfortune to fall out with Col. James C. Mullikin, the vet- eran republican leader of his own county of Talbot, and the hostility manifested against him by many members of the party has been so intense that if normal conditions in the district did net point to the election of 2 democrat this alone would seem to pre- sage his defeat. The distribution of the patrona as been a potent factor in + will doubt- ans in di earning for him this unpopularity, and i nomination will be regarded as a thankless sift. Controller Phillips’ Chances. There has been some talk of nominating Stete Controiler Phillips Lee Goldsborough or Senator Charles T. Westcott of Kent in his stead, ard ex-Judge George M. Russum is oczasi mentioned, but Mr. West- cott has positively declined to consider such a proposition; Mr. Goldsborough has no wish to embark on such a dubious unde taking, and It new appears as though Con- gressman Barber will have his wish grat- ified. Dr. Robert M. Price of Queen Anne's is receiving more mention at present than any other democrat, although it is expected that other aspirants will crop up as the time for the convention approaches. State Senator John Waiter Smith of Worcester would un- questionably receive serious consideration if it was believed that he would accept a nemination, wi is deem2d unlikely. The democrats, asid3 from their belief that the epublicans cannot nominate a strong tick- et, pin their confidence on the fact that while they lost the stat> last year, they swept the first district by 1,700 majority, d they are confident of being able to re- peat It this year. Lloyd Wilkinson, the democratic leader of the last house of d2le- gates, is also spoken of. Congressman William B. Baker is expect- ed to receive a third nominaticn in the sec- ond district, although considerable doubt 13 f-lt among conservative judges as to his ain succeed himself. His first n was largely due to the support of igious element, which is very strong t, and the second to the ons from the democratic ranks of the silver issue. The fact 2s been twice elected to Congress not milit trongly In his favor if he again, and especially if the democrats te a strong candidate. Hering am Available Man. The most available men among the latter ire State Senator Joshua W. Hering of Carroll county and Mr. John 8S. Wirt of Cecil. Dr. Hering has just conctuded his seeond term in the state senate, where he of the best reputations for hon- nd genuine worth that achieved at Annapolis. Ss personality is such that would peal strongly to » not hidebound by partisan lie is president of the gen- eral conference of the Methodist Protestant Church, and this gives him a special value p lity in the,eyes of the leaders. S. Wirt is one of the ablest lawyers in th@ state, and was one of the us members of the last gen- by reason of his parliamen- bility. It is not likely that Ny if Dr. Hering can be as he aspires to the demo- gubernatorial nomination of a year h nd would be reluctant to jeopardize his chance of attaining it. Ex-Clerk Lewis M. ‘been mentioned, but Mr. too intimately identified r circle of the ex-Gorman- his regime to make to those who are the demvcrats back to power. Mr. Boyd's Aspirations. altimore county has also a republican irant in the person of Mr. J. Cookman member of the county defatigable worker in county Boyd was liberally mentioned on with the United States dis- ip, and is the pres2nt coun- ty board of election saper- nomination xious to lead M factional difficulties in Baitimore between the wing of the republican trolled by Mr. John T. Ensor and by County Commissioner Blak>ney bitter, and Mr. Boyd is at present of trying to carry water on both His chances of getting the ccuuty indorsement are not bright, and while in miany respects he would make an able nominee, it is improbable that he will d on io run. mocrats carried this district last year by nearly 3,000 majority, and with a candidate Dr. Hering or Mr. Wirt, should win by a comfortable margin at the approaching election. In city distr there will be little opposition to the renomination. of Con- gtessmen Booze and Melntire. If any should arise it will come from the follow- ers of Mayor Malster, and no. intimation has been recelved of Its existence. In the third district no mention is made of @ democratic nominee, Ex-Congressman Harry Welles Rusk has no disposition to run, and it is suppesed that a straw man will be put vp, and that no prominent tember of the party will be called on to sacrifice himself. In the fourth. district Mr. Isaac Tobe Straus, a prominent young Hebrew lawyer of great ability, is occa- sionally mentioned. Mr. Straus was spoken of in the last campaign in connec- ticn with the nomination, and if he can be induced to rua will prove a strong can- didate. His friends, however, hope he will wait until some more propitious occasion. Congressman Sydney E. Mudd is leaving no stone unturned that will ald in gaining him @ renomination, and will probably suc- ceed. He will encounter considerable op- Position, however, from the Loundes-Well- ington wing of the party, who are ex- pected to back ex-State Senator Thomas Parran of Calvert county. Ex-Congress- man Coffin would also be glad to return to Washington. Gov. Carroll's Aspiration. It is reperted on good authority that ex- Governor John Lee Carroll is anxious to recelve the democratic nomination in the fifth district. If this should prove to be the case, he can unquestionably get it, and his presence as a candidate would insure @ very interesting fight in the district. A strong factor in Mr. Mudd’s strength among the white voters has been due to his being a Roman Catholic. Many demo- crats have voted for him on this ground, and with the ex-governor also a member of tkat faith, in the field, the congressman's prospects of election would be by no means certain. Moreover, Governor Carroll is @ man of great wealth, and better able to meet the peculiar exigencies of a southern Maryland campaign than any other avail- able democrat. With Carroil in the lists against Mudd the status of the democracy in the district would be considerably ad- vanced ,and a spirited campaign assured. The sixth district is fairly overflowing with republican aspirants, the nomination being regarded as equal to an election. Congressman McDonald Is, of course, ready to recelve a renomination, and Mr. Ashley M. Gould, also of Montgomery county, as- Pires to represent the district. Mr. Gould Was a conspicuous republican leader in the last house of delegates. Mr. Alexander R. Hagner of Washington county, who was eager for the nomination two years ago, wants to run this year, and is con- fident of being able to heal the factional breaches of the party in his county ana come to the convention with an undivided vote supporting him. Dr. .Samuel T. Haffner of Frederick ims that the long-standing feud between himself and the fcllowers of Judge Joan C. Motter have been settled, and that the latter has assured him of the backing of the county. Allegary has two candidates— State’s Attorney George A. Pearre and State Senator David -E. Dick—the latter, however, is not likely to last, and Garrett has an aspirant in State Senator Raven- scroft. io The democratic nomination in the sixth is usually an empty honor, and this year promises to prove no exception. There js some little talk of inducing ex-Congress- man William M. McKaig to run, but it is not believed that that astute leader will consent. Col. Buchanan Schley, the dem- ocratic leader of Washington county, is also mentioned, but is thought to be’ re- luctant to accept the honor. : —— A MARKED CONTRAST. Characteristics of the Two Developed by the War. From the London Spectator. ‘The war, which is developing alike the devoted courage and the bewildering in- efficiency of the Spanish people—that “‘fa-~ tigued people,” as their colonial minister cails them—develops also the efficiency and Nations audacity of their transatlantic foes. The dispatches from Commodore Dew. haa hardiy been received when America woke to her new position, the newspaper talk about exchanging the Philippines suddenly stopped, Washington remembed that her power was seated on both the great oceans ot the world, and orders were flashed to San Francisco to dispatch to Manila army of occupation. Transport was at once collected, the Pacifie being now clear for transit; munitions, steel plates, a great naval architect, and a supply of artificers were sent to the Pacific port by rail, and within seven days more a fleet with three thousand armed and drilled Americans on beard will be steaming for the Philippines, where Commodore Dewey, with his squad- ron safely riding in the great harbor of Manila, patiently awaits them. Once ar- rived, say on June nila—where the garrison appears scarcely able to cope with the Tagal insurgents, who have three centuries of misgoverr ment to avenge—will be compelled to surrender and admit a gar- tison of American troops, who will compel Spaniards and Tagals alike to maintain order. An American governor of the Phil- ippines, Gen. Merritt, has already been se- lected, and for the present, at all events, the islands will be held, as we suggested last week, as territories in the military oc- cipation of the republic. Their fate will remain undetermined until the close of the war, but in no case will they be restored to Spain. We do not ourselves doubt that America will keep them as prize of war, but if they are offered to Great Britain it will be for our statesmen to decide whether the weary Titan is not already overloaded. With the English-speaking peoples agreed upon their licy, threats from the conti- nent do not matter much. + e+ Strange Freak of Nature. From the Philadelphia Record. From some of the newer countries, so- called on account of the lack of definite knowledge regarding them, reports of strange freaks and curiosities constantly appear, and, as a rule, they are laughed at, but once in a while they turn out to be the truth. It is this way with a strange freak of nature called the bulrush caterpillar, which is indigenous to New Zealand. This report, which stated that at certain sca- sons a large black caterpillar would bury Stself in the ground, and be converted into the root of a bulrush, was laughed at, Icke the rest, but now an English scien- tist, who recently gave an exhaustive in- vestigation of the strange phenomenon, stated that in many respects the state- ments are strictly true. From this report it has been learned that the caterpillar grows to about three and one-half inches long and when about to assume the chry- salis state buries itself in the ground, and in doing so it is frequently infected by the spores of some fungus, which becomes in- volved in the scales in its neck. These the larvae {s unable to expel, and the vege- tation thus set up rapidly extends through- out the entire body, replacing each ani- mal cell thus destroyed by vegetable mat- ter, and finally converting it Into a com- paratively dense vegetable structure, which retains every detail of the body, even to the legs, mandibles and minutest claw. From the neck, the portion first in- fected, there then shoots up a single stem, which grows to the height of eight or ten inches, resembling very closely the club- headed buirush in miniatare. It has no leaves, and if the first stem be broken off another rises in its place, though two ztems never grow simultaneously from the same “caterpillar.” NO PEACE FOR SPAIN. serene Internal Complications That Are Cer- tain to Follow. From the London Sveetaior. | The worst part of: the: whole affair for Srain is that, 23 we have said, the Spanish government cannot rely Upon its own peo- ple. Already greatly, irrifated by the fail- ure to defend the Philippines, they will, we should fear, consider ‘the impotence of the Atlantic fleet a final proof of the in- competence of their government. Nations are never satisfied to wait wearily till a waiting policy succeeds, particularly if waiting involves taxation to the bone. There will be risingS in every corner of Spain, gravely increased ‘in seriousness by the bitterness of the hundred thousand families which will coneider, quite natural- ly, though unfairly, that their children, the soldiers now in Cuba, have been deserted by the mother country. It will be neces- sary to strengthen the executive, if only for the restoration of order, which, when a Latin people is excited, goes so rapidly to Pieces, and we may, we think, rely on it that the army, now the only organism in Spain retaining full vitality, will insist upon a military dictatorship. Already, in- deed, a committee or junta of generals has been formed in Madrid, ostensibly to pro- tect military interests, but really to take care that when the hour arrives the regi- ments should not fire upon one another, but that the army shall act as a whole. About the direction in which it will act there is much uncertainty, but it seems clear that any military dictatorship must maintain order, that it must have some foothold other than its own will—even Prim did not venture to proclaim himself King of Spain—and that it must continue the war, the bad management of which will be the excuse for the pronuncia- miento. We still incline, therefore, to the belief that tke queen regent will retire, that the new regent will be a soldier—possibly a man at present little known out of Spain— and that he will issue his decrees in the name of the child king. There will, how- ever, be no peace, and we are bound to add that the symptoms of a discontent which may produce a more radical convul- sion begin to multiply. In Spain, as in Italy, there are evidences of almost inex- Plicable economic trouble. To use an in- accurate but intelligible simile, a wave of pauperism is passing over the land. Such a troubie is natural in Barcelona, which was maintained by its monopoly of Cuban trade, and has lost it; but there is bitter suffering, actual want of the means of healthy existence in many other cities, and at least some of the agricultural provinces. No man except the Osmanli bears hunger patiently; and the man of the Mediterra- nean states, conscious of fertile land and of a certain richness In the nature round him, grows furious under the pain, which he attributes either to the neglect’ or the malice of his superiors. Under this im- pulse the people when they rise fight hard, they direct their attacks against the well- to-do, and they are hardly to be appeased till they have shed blood. In fact, though we suppose the army can and will main- tain order, the social revolution in Spain the demand, that is, that property be in some measure at least redistributed, may have commenced. We shall see, but of this mich we feel almost assured, that a much more despotic regime of some kind will be introduced, that it will continue the war, and that its watchwords, even ff it is ri publican, will be “stubbornness” and “fresh alliances.” Those who expect the over- throw of the government are doubtless right; 0 look for the downfall of well as of the government but those who look for we believe, without the Spanish people and its second executive agent, the Spanish army. eos SB ea THE POOR OLD MONOCACY. of a Former Terror of Eastern Seas. From the New York Times. China's course in ordering the Monocacy away from Shanghai ‘may have been justi- fiabie and even inevitable under interna- tional laws as to the duties of a neutral nation toward those of war, but it is ac- tion that will cause something very much like consternation among ‘the naval au- thorities at Washington,.and as for the cfficers and crew of the noble vessel, their situation fs one of really {rightful difficulty. Thirty-five years ago the Monocacy could get out of a harbor ‘where she wasn’t want- ed—if those on board of her wanted to go— with as haughty a grace as anything of her size afloat, but she has been industriously growing older since those days, and the prospect of facing the attack of waves lar- ger than those raised by the passing of a harbor tg 1s enough to make everybody on the old ship turn pale. When the Monocacy first went to the Asiatic station she thought nothing of an occasional trip oyer to Japan, or from one end of the China coast to the other, and she made such journeys whenever occasion for them arose. ‘Then her officers noticed ominous symptoms developing in her hull and machinery, and they hinted to the Navy Department that perhaps it would be judicious to keep her near the shore, and preferably in smooth water. The hint was taken, and for a long time the Mo- nocacy’s active service consisted of an oc- casional run up the Yang-tse-Kiang to im- press the Chinamen of the interior with the pewer of the United States and so make life pleasanter for our missionaries thereabouts. ‘There {s a rumor that the old side- wheeler was called “The White Devil” by the remoter natives, and that they had a great respect for her converted smooth- bores and her pair of machine guns. Be this as it may, the Monoeacy has of late years remained carefully at anchor in the Wusung at Shanghai, and when an im- portant landsman in’ the department at Washington suggested a while ago that she should come home, he was instantly hushed up by the whispered information that the only home awaiting this particu- lar vessel was a convenient beach. And China has ordered her away! It will be a terrible mement when she starts, and, if her commander isn’t much braver than even the conqueror of Manila, his face will bo very long when he hoists his an- chor.
