Retiring Public Officers.

Judge Hunt is to be retired, by an Act
of Congress, on salary Of ten thousand
dollars year for the balance Of his life.
It is said he has good chance to live
twenty years yet, which will give him two
hundred thousand dollars during bis re-
tirement. This makes the old gentleman
quite comfortable. Judge Hunt came on
the bench of the Supreme Court in the
latter part of 1879. performed the duties
of his Office for about six years, and for
the last three years he has been wholly
disabled from paralysis. He received a
salary of ten thousand dollars year and
stubbornly declined to resign. By action
of Congress he is to retire on his salary in
order to have the duties of his Office per-
formed by another appointee. This should
be corrected by an amendment to the Con-
stitution. Are we to have an endless list
of retired pensioners on the National
Treasury? This is the QUESTION that ought
to be made at once and brought directly
before the people. If old gentlemen are to
to be supported at the expense of Govern
ment after certain age, let it be ascer-
tanned on principles of justice who shall
constitute this favored class. 1t certainly
will not be those gentlemen of large Tor
tunes who have been favored with high
lucrative Offices till certain age. Justice,
equity and charity would forbid it,

st. Johns Collie ge.

President Leavitt has presented to the
the Legislature his report ofthe above in
stl,uiion and an appeal for aid 10 resusci-
tate the old college and infuse into it new
life of such a character as will make it
selfsustaining. He gives brief history
of the college from It's birth, two hundred
years ago, its merging with King viii
liam's school hundred years later, the
increase of the property by private contri-
buttons and the acceptance of the college
property as trust by the State and its
nourishment since as one of wards.
An annual grant of S27, 900 is asked for
with which to erect and furnish the ne
cessary buildings for technical depart
ment, the improvement of the present
building sand for the support of he insti
tuition. In furtherance of his plan he says
that the friends of the college will pay the
present debt of $4,000, and that one of
its friends will give real estate yielding
an annual rental of $1,000. DR.. Leavitr
has visited every county in the State and
has found growing sentiment in favor
Of perpetuating the old college. St. Johns
has educated some of our best citizens :;
and they naturally fee an interest in the
perpetuation of their Alma Mater. There
are many others who desire to educate
their children tn the State and they want
to to St. Johns in healthy condition. The
people generally, we believe, want to see
the college encouraged and sustained as
State institution. With proper means
and management St. Johns can become
one of the proudest boasts of the people
of MARYLAND.

Factions.

The habit which some people and news
papers have of regarding every vote taken
in the Legislature as victory or defeat
Of supposed opposing factions is exceed
ingly puerile, and factionists who take
comfort from this or that particular vote
are very easily satisfied, especially those
who imagine that the defeat of any pro-
position introduced by what they are
pleased to call the managers, means de-
feat of the regular Democrats. The fact
is the Legislature is composed of gentle
men who are in the habit of thinking .ol
themselves and acting for themselves, mel
who are too independent to &c at the noe
of any boss, no matter with what powtl
or patronage he may be invested. Th'
diversity of opinion, upon importan.
questions affecting the interests of TIL
State and the mainia inance of Democrat,
policy and Legislation is controlled by no
managers and recognizes no bosses, but
that eac individual member act like men,
according o their convictions of right and
duty.
We are glad to see that there are dill
ferences of opinion as to the details OF
measures proposed for legislative action
So lobg as the members Of the Legislature
show independence of thought and action
the people may rest satisfied that what is
done will be done for the public good, and
that the schemes of bosses Who affect to
control legislation by the use ofpatronage
will come to nothingness.
We should regret to see too much I'M
Ianimity, as such condition would argue
the controlling power of some superior
influence, and We should then have reason
to fear that instead of legislating for the
good Of the people, their representatives
would simply be recording the will of a
boss. We have supreme confidence in the
honesty and integrity of the representa-
tives of Democracy now assembled at
Annapolis, and feel that whilst there may
be and should be honest differences OF
opinion as to the matter and time of adopt
ing certain legislation, still such action
will finally be taken upon all important
measures as will fully redeem the pledges
made by the party to the people, and
place upon the statute books such laws as
will enable Maryland to ho'd the same
honorable position among her sister States
which in the past it has been her high
privilege to occupy.-Hagerstoen Weekly

The winter.

The last hat o. winter promises To- be
as snowy with US as the first half was
moist and rainy 1t is not likely tina; the
two snow storms which have visited US in
he las, ten days are the las, We shall have
to enc punter this winter. Indeed, if we
believe some Of the weather prophets, who
have swarmed upon US Of ate in such
mighty turce, these si"rms are but lore
tastes Of migh'y snow tails that will make
this month OF February a ten years won
der. The past performances OF these pro.
phets, however, are not calculated to A
waken much fear from their prognos,ica,

csasessedly know nothing nf the results
of scientific Inquiry, or else treat those
results with contempt, and though posses
sing no int lsctual training TO III them for
such Investigations, undertake. with crude
theories Of their own to so.ve he grea,
prob em OF the weather, is sufficient To-
discre il them. IL cannot be doubted
that some law of nature is concerned 10
the anomalous condition of the weather
which Tor year pas has caused much
wonderment AID in some cases much dis
tress II is an old saying tina, here is
bound to be just about SD much weather
every year. and if the distribution is un.
ceriain, still, every country and section
will in time get its share both good and
bad. There is n grain of reason in this
which experience has approved. The
comparison has frequently been made be-
tween this country and Europe Sever,
winters on one OF these continents have
cocks ed with mild winters on The other.
There was an instanc of this in the win
ter OF 1772 and '73, when America was
bu dened with snow and Europe enjoyed
an open season. l. looks as though the
present winter might furnish an example
of this curioHs compensation of nature,
for we continually hear of severe storms
and cold weather on the other side Of the
Allan ic, while here we have enjoyed so
far, almost uniformly spring mildness.
