He further stated that English singers were far too brainless, and that the actora,--tfike notice, Thespians,- were merely diessed up dolls and dummies. In fact, there was Just about enough good play- ' em in England to make up one strong cast. George Bernard Shaw, who has been i a central figure among the playwrights for season or two past, has added fuel to the flame of Indignation, by taUrg that , he, -Elgar, M1 rey P10, the conductors a (compliment, since, said be, , "an automaton beats itrlcrtlmo at least He farther stAted that Blgr vlew ,n regard, to the , E&igllsh theatrical profes sion attite coincided with hi own.

England is n old coun- try and a rich country. The former con- ditto presupposes the accumhiulnted pro gress of the centuries; the latter condition Is a guarantee of stimulating incentive to ward the pursuit of art. For, whenever the physical aeed are provided for, the mind turns to other things as a source of recreation. To be sure, the various forms , of art sot taken up t once a soon as the , tieeds of the flesh are attended to, since there are a variety of avenues of pleasure ' which are flrsf lven consideration. But sooner or later the spirit of progress a , serts Itself, and thoMi things which person ' Ify Beauty irreslstably attract the atten- tion of mankind.

The social sea son la In full swing now and there Una never been a time when there wua o much gaiety as there Is at present. Nearly every day since the beginning of the holiday season at least one function has taken place to keep society on the move. Ger mans, card parties, private dancing parties, lunches, teas and dinners have been the vogue. The chlof affair this week was the new year's dance given by the t'lnvenden German Club, which was the best so far given by this organi sation. Some SO or 60 couples par ticipated and a large number of hl'erones ana otners interested were present. Mr. Wlil Dunn was leader, accompanied oy Miss UUtn Howlund. A very pretty home wedding took place Wednesday night at o'clock at the home of Mrs. M. C. Morris, on Hancock street, whetv her "tvlece, Mlwt K8ther Katelie , Pleasants, was tnarrled to Mr. James L. Hall. Ilev. O. T. Adams, pastor of the new Centenary church, was the of- tlclaiing clergyman. The decorations were slmplo and artistic, ths hall be ing in green and red and the parlor In green and white: with evergreens end cut flowers. In the room where the ceremony was performed a bank of green was made and an altar, on each side of which were steps of candles diminishing In site at -the top. j.

Special to The Observer. - Baltimore, Jan. 5. Qovernor . War- field has planned a vigorous campaign against extravagance and "graft" In the Legislature at this session, and Is urging the most stringent law to prevent the use of money In elections. He surprised the. Legislature -in can. ing attention In" his message to th fact that the previous Assembly em ployed 198 officers employe and clerks besides 46 laborers and 75 engrossing I c,erk h,rea toward 4 th end of the tiissoA session. The pay of these was SllJ,46o. being 161,367 more than the pay all the members of the assembly received. There are only 128 member of both houses.-.. , vv,': ; -.v',.'-1 The Governor plainly asserts that these "employes" are most of them merely "runners" of the political boss es who are thus paid for 'their work at the elections and are -used as agents of the lobby, WANTS LOBBYISTS EXCLUDED, j He declares that all these agents of the lobby ought to be strlcly excluded from the legislative halls. It is a no torious fact that the political boss of Baltimore county, as the State boss, have bought and sold legislation, and that when a big corporation, failed to "put up" a strike hill was introduced to make them pay tribute. In Mary land this is called "ringing the bell." This Is the most outrageous form of blackmail. For instance, If a street rnllurdv nrrrniu t ltn ha. visit Hnori. . i,k ... . f -.1 tMiailgrjlIlCMl.

H. Vorman Is oovernor warneid urges that a law be passed requiring that all contribu tlons to political parties be made pub lic, and that corporations shall be pro hibited from making contributions to political campaign funds. There ha been so much ballot-Jug gling In Maryland, especially In the Eastern Shore counties, that the Gov- ernor calls for . amendments to the election laws to simplify the method of voting, and also to provide that the - Intention of tho voter shall govern the validity of the ballot. At this time. I according to the decision of the Su-, preme Court, if the cross mark goes over the line in the slightest degree the -ballot is void. He does no favor a return to emblem voting, a the leading politicians are urging. That ; watem makes it too difficult to vote a split ticket, and militates against . ndeuendence in votlns:. Strlnsrent laws to prevent fraud In party primaries ! are recommended, as the laws now provide no adequate punishment for fraud In the primaries. . STATE'S DEBT IS SMALL. The total bonded indebtedness of the State Is now $8,526,926, but the alnklng fund amounts to 13,301,587. The State also owns a mortgage of the Northern Central Railway for $1, 500,000, end own 5,500 shares of the stock of the Washington branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. These securities are at present worth about $4,000,000, which would leave a net In debtedness of about $1,225,000, which tit the present rate of taxation would leave the State free of debt In two year. The Governor recommends the sale of Ihe railway securities, which through JugKllng are not giving the State a revenue at all in proportion to their market value. MACHINE MEN CONTROL. But It Is a question whether the present Legislature will do much towards bringing about the reforms that the Governor urges. Despite the fact that the Constitutional Amend ment to dlsfanchtse the negro, was de feated by such an overwhelming ma Jotity, and that the Democrats saved the Legislature by the narrowest mar gin, the boKKea succeeded in putting through their entire slate In both houses. Oarville D. Benson, the choice of Congressman J. F. C. Talbott. the Baltimore county boss and of I. Freeman Raisin, the Baltimore boss, was elected speaker of the House, and Gen. J.' B. Seth, the Eastern Shore representative of the State machine, was elected president of the Senate. Though the Independents have the balance of power In the House and could by combination with the Re publicans defeat the machine, there appears to be no disposition on their part to form such a coalition. There fore, It seems likely that the plan of the machino to elect the Democratic State Chairman Murray Vandlver, State Treasurer for another term will be successfully carried through. There Is great opponltlon to Mr. Vandlver throughout the State, but the popular movement against him will probably have little weight with the Legisla ture. TO SAVE OTSTEU INDUSTRY. One of tho most Interesting meas ures to come before this Legislature Is that providing for tho rehabilitation of the oyster Industry. For many years Maryland lead the world In oys ter production, but now the Industry has declined - until tt Is threatened with extinction. The oyslermen of the Eastern Shore have threatened for years political and physical death to any man who Interfered with what they considered their God-given right to the oyster beds, and even now they are opposing any. planting law that will enable others to ouud up a great Industry on the oyster barrens. Re cently there was a wholesale robbery of private oyster bads, and a serious riot at Chrisficld because several, men were . arrested for this breach of the laws. Some sort of planting law is certain to be passed at this session. and when the State officer come to enforce It they are almost sure to have to resort to "force and arms.'

It the President is a fighter he has opportunity to show it. The Fifty ninth Congress, ' overwhelmingly Re publican. In both Houses Is in a Terr good humor to test his courage. The situation was fashioned by the plastic nana or destiny for a Jackson or a Cleveland. What will Roosevelt do with it? W1U he shoot? Will he give up his gun? In my judgment the gun Is either not loaded, or he has lost It. Senator Hale's speech against that Panama nam tin ess was a defiance that Jackson would "hav accepted before you could drop your hat. Senator Spooner"s warnings against encroach ments of Federal power and the dan gers of paternalism In government, was the pertinent reply to that mirac ulous message the President dumped on Congress and on the country some days before.' Behind these two are the crafty Aldrlch, the conservative Alli son, ,the nery Foraker, . the debonair Elklns and their following. - They even say that Henry Cabot-Lodge Is tired of government by White House. Now, that Senatorial set can fight. and when it fights it hurts. General Jackson and, Grovec Cleveland found that out; but they, too, were fight ers. Theodore Roosevelt ' has also found It out. Is he a fighter? He will have to prove it. He has not yet shown it. Here he Is raising Cain about the railroads and this very morning It is narrated that he and Elklns and C as sat t have agreed on the railroad rate question. I hope they have, for.

C. humlble opinion! the whole thing was jumped up t6 take the minds ot the people off . the President's- abject and o raven surrender to tbe stand-patters. Hefnry A. - Wise, in - that matchless stump speech at Alexandria asked the question, "How do they propose, to break up tne eountryr' Then he an swered it, "Why, ty raising hen about the pope." That was In Know-Noth ing' times 1855.' It look to tne mar- velously like this entire railroad rate business was got tip to take the public mind oft something else, and I am sure the tariff robs the , people, every 24 hours, of more-than the railroads rob them of in 24 days, as I have tried to say toefore, and I am sure the railroad rob them every- day of not a little. And while I am on this subject I will say there never was any real difficul ty about the rate; it is the rebate, the breaking or rates; in other words,; the competition, where the . devilment comes In. Abolish rebate.' and - every railroad will give every depot the rate that will make most business at that depot for that railroad... .When you have done that the railroads will give the people little more concern than the milking of cows, or the feeding- of pig. , , -.-.. But let us recur to the President is he a brave politician 7 I mean civic bravery, moral bravery. He has not yet shown It except by precept, writ ten or spoken never by example. All of us can be brave that way. All of us have been brave that way. That sort of bravery Is so cheap that the veriest demagogue In the world can have it, and 'many of them do have it If I understand the President, here Is his politics: It 1 good to be right and it is bad to be wrong. That is brave, very brave; but who is the judge of fight and wrong?. As a Very entertaining writer put it, "It Is all very welL to renounce the deviland his works, but who the devil Is, and what hi works are, may be matters of dispute," and so they are. I am sure Mr. Theodore Roosevelt and., my-, self would never agfee a&jao4jMj devil Is. I think I can pick thefevlt' out of any crowd I ever discovered him loading In. Roosevelt- thinks he to those families? f: - "" can detect' him,' - too, but very fr4 v auently -we would be disagreed m, the real, actual, v Simon-pure devn. ? And as to -the, devil' preachment W would be at -total variance." I V would pick out the President's recent message as the very fcutt cut, and up-, I per crust, of deviltry in -a political sense. :- ' , All free governments that have died i ' - ; X Jl J ' M l . . a.
