The MARYLAND u. S. JUDGEsHIP.-President
Hayes, on Tuesday afternoon, being convinced
that there was no chance for the confirmation Of
Mr.. X. Stockett Mathews to the vacant Maryland
U. S. District Judgeship, withdrew the name Of
that gentleman and nominated Mr.. Thomas j.
Morris, of Baltimore. The Senate Immediately
went into executive session and promptly confirm
ed Mr.. Morris, whose name had not been previous
ly mentioned in connection with the office The
friends of Mr.. Mathews are of course greatly
chagrined at this turn of affairs, but we have no
doubt that whilst the Republicans of the State
might have been better pleased by the selection of
some other gentleman, yet the appointment of Mr..
Morris is decidedly more satisfactory to great
majority of them than that of Mr.. Mathews could
possibly have been.
Thomas John Morris was born in Baltimore on
September "a, 1887, and is therefore in the 42d
year of his age. He is man Of vigorous frame,
commanding presence and pleasing address. His
father was Mr.. John Morris, of the firm of Eyer
ton Morris, mi-sto importers. lie was pre-
pared at the school of Mr.. John Prentiss, at Med
field, and afterwards entered Harvard College,
graduating with high hOnors in the class of 1856.
lie studied law in Baltimore in the office of Messrs.
Hinkley Morris, the members of the firm being
Messrs. E. Otis Hinkley and John 7. Morris, his
cousin. He was admitted to the bar in 1859, and
then became member of the firm, continuing in
it ever since. The firm has had large dealings in
the winding up of estates and corporations, and
in all matters with which he has been connected
Mr.. Morris is said to have brought to bear great
legal acumen and high scholarship. He has all
along been Republican in politics, although
never holding any Office nor being identified with
any clique. During the late war he was a stanch
and pronounced Union man, and was on Governor
Bradford's staff during 1863 and 1864.

A RISING MAN COMES TO GRIEF.-The Baltimore
Gazette of recent date, referring to the conviction
of ex-Judge Bishop of the crime of forgery, very
sensibly says
"Climbing up in life from poverty and social
disadvantage to position as high as that which
Geo. W. Bishop enjoyed before his crime is slow
affair; the fall is very rapid He started in life
poor and without the advantages of education and
by the force of a clear head and energy, combined
with a reputation for honesty, he made his way
through the world. He represented the Fourth
Ward in the City Council for several terms and
was the presiding officer of that body. He came
near being chosen Mayor. He was made Judge
of the Orphans Court. 1t was while he enjoyed
this position that he became acquainted with the
facts that enabled him to perpetrate the crime of
which he has just been convicted. He was accused
of forgery in transferring bond, the property of
one of the infant wards of the Orphans Court, and
of the charge he has been found guilty. 1t is to
be hoped that the sentence will be such as to act
as warning against all future occurrences of this
kind in the Orphans Court. 1t is said that Bishop
was proud of having risen by industry and honesty
from the humblest walks of life and that he was
fond of going to the House of Refuge and making
sneeches to the boys holding himself up as an ex-
nple for their imitation and encouraging them
rise as he had done. 1t is to be hoped that his
ownfall will be equally impressive lesson to
II city officials and Judges in particular, encour-
yipg them not to faH as he has done. The great
terest which the public has now, however, is not
much the punishment of this convict as the re-
oval of the stain from the Orphans Court
trough its official action the property of an in
Mt ward of the Court has been stolen. The city
ght to make it good. No technical defense
Ould stand in the way of indemnifying the child
ose money has been stolen while under tbs
Deryision of the Court. 1t will be an eternal
amy upon that Court which sooner or later
st have supervision of the estate of every man
dies within its jurisdiction. Let the city
re good the loss to that child and then indem-
itself from the bondsmen as best it may"

Coon GRANGE ADvIcE.-The advice which the
Master of the Oregon State Grange recently gave
to the members of that body is applicable to the
brotherhood in all parts of the Union. He says:
"Put less toll and more thought into your call
ing, and make it attractive to your children.
Unite with the Grange and take your sons and
daughters with you. 1t is the farmers own and
only organzatiOn-a practical means of combina-
ton, of united effort and self-hep, and affords the
society and recreation you and your families so
much need. Learn and practice the great princi-
Piles of truth, justice, charity and brOtherly love
upon which it is founded. Cease to be mere plod-
ders, and get out of the narrow grooves of isola-
ton, prejudice and mingled credulity and suspi-
cion in which you have been running. Bymutual
aid educate yourselves and cultivate your gifts, in
the frank and free discussion of the Grange of
those great questions in which they are all alike
interested. Learn to be more liberal, and above
all things break the bonds which make you the
slaves of party and the dupeS of demagogues
Thus you will be better qualified to act well your
part in life, and fulfill the duties of citizens and
lawmakers of the State and nation. Thus will
your vocation be elevated and made more respect
able, and your will not be so anxious to
change the free pure air of the country for the
poisoned atmosphere of the city,

THE CLIMATE

is pleasant. While the summer days are hot
there is generally breeze, and the nights are
cool. The winters are very mild. Mr.. Negley
says he has seen snow but once in four winters
and that was last Christmas Snow fell then but
melted directly. The ground never freezes,
although thin skim of ice will occasionally form
in ponds. This part of the State is not subject to
severe "northers' or cold north winds which pre-
vail in the eastern part.

for grazing is very little. Farming land is worth
from 81 to So per acre, and grazing lands seldom
bring more than so cents per acre.
In conclusion, Mr.. Negley remarks that it is an
erroneous impression that prevails, as to the
danger of living in Tnxas. He says that he con-
siders his life and property as safe there as in
Washington county. The people of his commu-
nifty are just as much disposed to be peaceable and
friendly as in any other state. His only loss Of
property in four years residence has been one

NORWOOD, Oct. 1.-THE fires are spreading

burned, with several barns near Madrid. The
fire has spread for miles, and the people
are removing their hay and other products.
The air is filled with a dense smoke. There
are no signs of rain.
Mobile City Bonds.
NEW YORK, Oct. AT q meeting of the
bondnolders Of the city of Mobile here last ev
ening the proposition by commissioner from

bama was strongly censured for passing laws

The Irish Tenantry.

LONDON, Oct 1.-The mass moetin IS which
on Sunday assembled all over Ireland to dis
cuss the land question, form theme OF lively
debate and according to yesterday morning S
papers they show two currents at work. The
more moderate men advocate as practical
step the concentration Of all the country's en-
ergy in procuring a total change of the exist
ing system of Irish land tenure and in max
ing the farmers either the owners of the soil
or joint owners with the landlords.
The scheme would involve little dislocation
of the existing arrangements for distribution
Of the land. 1t could be accomplished by de-
veloping the principle of Gladstone's land act.
The ma iority of experienced parliamentary
men support this view Mr.. Parnen and 9th
ers of the more extreme section say it is an eX-
celent plan in ITSELF and yet does not meet
the urgency of the impending crisis The ten
ants should refuse to pay rents which have al
ways been oppressive, or which are made so
by the pressure of hard times. II they were
to stand together III every part OF ireland they
could not all be driven off the land. There
was no need of physical force. Passive resist
ance would secure the victory.
VIM. Shaw, NJ p, has declared that the
results of the present harvests were not SO bad
as in the past two years. The people OF Ire
land need not be alarmed. The crisis is eXag-
gerated by selfish men for their own selfish
purposes. But as for the landlords their letters
prove that as class they are frightened. There
is no doubt that they will resist and will strive
to obtain from the government such measures
as may fortify their resistance.
