How many people seem to be on
the lookout for something at which to
get mad, and how ready they are to
impugn your motives and to pass sem
tence without allowing word of ex-
PLANTATION. Why such people are born
into the world is one ofthe darkest
things of the problem of existence

sNAP-JUDGMENT in POLITICS.

There is tendency during political
campaigns to judge harshly and hasti.
ly anyone or anything occupying
strong grounds in the opposition. A
man who may be fair and reasonable
in anything else, is often bitter and
unyielding in politics. Injustice is
frequently done on the spur of the
moment, in the heat of political ex'
element, without caring to hear or
see the other side of the question. It
is always best to be moderate and
slow to pass judgment, until that
which has given offence or proved
Objectionable is thoroughly under
stood.
We have no apology to make and
none to ask. This, only, we have to
say: In former political campaigns
we have treated the opposition in a
spirit of leniency and fairness, so
much SO that it provoked criticism in
our own ranks. But of that we cared
as little as. we do of this; we pay our
own way and ask nothing politically.
Heretofore the opposition has always
treated us with kindness, personally
and in business matters. There are
Democrats now, against whom, if
ever in the field, THE HERALD will
do nothing, and if we can do nothing
for them they shall at least have a
clear field not because they are DEM
ocrats, but because they have dealt
with us rightly and treated us as have
any Republicans. Inpolitics we'll do
unto others as others do unto us. Can.
didates of any party, or their friends.
who carry their narrowness and ex-
tremeness so far as to make it un-
pleasant personally and socially for
those who do not happen TO agree
with them, and whose business they
and their friends attempt and do in
jure, invite defeat and show open
evidence of deserving it. Further,
when man or his friends bring re-
ligion into politics and tell those who
differ with them politically. that they
cannot be christian and Republican,
they invite not only opposition but
supreme contempt. Socially our lot
is not pleasant one, on this account,
in our own household of faith, where
Republicans are black sheep. The
people at large draw no such distinc-
tions, and with them our social
and political relations are all we de-
sire and deserve. Now, snap.judg-
ment can be arrested long enough to
think or not to think lit is imma-
terial to us. Well all be dead in
hundred years.

On Saturday last our fellow-towns-
man, Stuart w. Walker, addressed
the Democrats of Morgan Co., at
Berkeley Springs. Democrats claim
that Mr.. Walker made the strongest
speech made in that town for many
years. This Is quite a compliment to
Mr.. Walker. Stuart will have to
make a great many more speeches
before he can turn old Morgan from
a Republican to a Democratic County.

Lemon, living near Shepherdstown,
on Saturday night loaned a colored

The novelty of presidential wedding
at the White House is gradually wearing
away, and there is not as. much gossip on
the subject around .he Capitol, in the no.
tells and on the street corners as there was
WAS week ago. The whole world has
congratulated the happy pair, and the first
week Of their honeymoon is over. Atten-
ton is now directed to Congress, and there
is much specu alton as to when final ad-
journment will be reached The general
impression among members Of the House
and Senate is that after two or three weeks
Of the average June weather it will be q
difficult matter to hold quorum in Wash

OUR NEW VOLUME.

With this issue THE TINES enters upon
its FoRTY-THIRD VOLUME. 1t is becom-
ing, as it is also pleasant, that in thus eel
ebrating our anniversary we should return
thanks to our friends and patrons for theil
continued confidence and support; and il
is a satisfaction to be able to state that
though so well advanced in the years OF
journalism, our paper has larger and
more widely extended circulation to-day
than ever before in the course of its long
career. Since its last birthday many new
names have been added to the subscrip-
ton list of the TIMES and, as will be APP
parent to all, its advertising patronage is
up to its fullest standard.
The same kindly and amicable relations
which have ever existed between this pa
per and its many welcome exchanges sill
continue unimpaired, land in thus celebra-
ting, under such suspicious circumstances
our natal day, we send them one and all
our kindly greetings and return thanks for
the many courtesies and amenities receiv-
at their hands during the year just closed.
Not unmindful that the wider field of
usefulness its increasing circulation gives
to our journal brings with it increased re-
sponsibilities, we shall endeavor by con-
tinued strict adherence to the principles
of fairness, impartiality and devotion to
the welfare of the community in which il
circulates, in some measure to meet the
same. Erring as we frequently have done
and will doubtless do again, for 'to err is
human" we shall nevertheless endeavor to
being guided by the lamp of experience
to avoid such errors as the past may have
pointed out, will press on in our work
actuated by sincere interest IN the well
fare of the people of our county and State,
advocating without Partially or favor
such men and measures as seem to US con-
ducive to their welfare and denouncing
without fear such as we believe hurtful or
detrimental
We believe the day is not distant when
Southern Maryland will throw off the
lethargy and unprogressiveness that now
more or less depresses and retards her and
assume that spirit of prosperity and sub
stantial progress to which her geograph-
ical, climatic and other natural advant-
ages entitle her. New people must be
brought here, new products put in cult
Walton and new and more progressive
methods of culture and general economy
adopted. In this period of evolutionary
development which we believe will be ex-
perienced by our community in the next
quarter of century, a p oppressive and
public spirited local press will play an
important part. THE TIMES will endeavor
by the best capacity and industry it can
bring to its labors to do its part in the
good work.

Friends of Hon. VIM. Pinkney Whyte
reported last week that he had definitely
decided to become candidate for Con-
gress in the East Baltimore district. Mr..
Whyte said in answer to queries in this
connection that his friends have pressed
him to be ongressional candidate. He
thought it too early to make any formal
announcement before the city convention
primaries have been held and before the
congressional canvass is opened in Sep
TENDER, but he may consider it advisable
to comply with the wishes of his frieEds
and become candidate before the people
for election to Congress. He intimated
that he would not make contest for the
nomination in the primaries, where the
favorite of the local political elements has
the advantage. If lie is a candidate be-
fore. the people he will be in the field as a
democrat.
