THE JUDGESHIP.

WoRcEsTER County should
by all means have one of the
three Judges allotted to this
Circuit. The geographical
location of Snow Hill is such
that we are placed at a great
er inconvenience in not hav-
ing one than would be our
neighbor = Somerset. An
other thing, we are sorry to
say, is that our railroad facil-
tiles are now, and likely to
continue to be, such as makes
it a long and roundabout jour
ney to either Salisbury or
Princess Anne. An ambi-
tious rather than truthful cor
respondent of the Baltimore
Herald on Wednesday says
that OF the several candidates
for Judge in Worcester either
would rather see a Somerset
County man get the place
than to see one of his rivals
here successful. 1t is true
there is considerable rivalry
here. but it does not 60 as
far as the Princess Anne cor
respondent of the Heyafd al
leges. With our county need
ing a judge as badly as she
does the ambitious candidate
who would think or act in the
manner described would be
unfit to fill an office requir-
ing such a high order of char
acter as that of a Judge of his
people. What the people of
Worcester want is a Judge,
because we believe we are
entitled TO have one. We
have three candidates out oi
which the Governor should
certainly find suitable one,
and we know that our can
didates do not entertain the
feeling toward each other
indicated by the Princess
Anne correspondent of the
Herald.

will control the government
and by the use of money elect
their magistrates and legisla-
tors to perpetuate this policy.
The foregoing discussion
leads up to warrants the fol
lowing conclusions
First-That equal and hon
est taxation constitutes the
foundation of every free gov
ernment. and that the unim-
paired maintenance of such
taxation is essential to the
continual existence of such
government.
Secondly-ln order that
taxation may be equal, hon
est, and not tyrannical, its
exercise must conform to the
following conditions: 1t must
be justified by necessity or be
absolutely essential for fulfill
ing the object of every truly
free government /; which is,
not to abridge the liberty of
the individual citizen in re.
spect to either his person,
business, or property, but to
increase it by restraining and
furnishing all those who would
lawfully encroach upon it. Its
burden should not bear more
hardly upon one man or class
of men than on another. Its
exercise by the State should
contemplate no other purpose
than the raising of money for
defraying its expenditures.
Thirdly-The instant that
these natural conditions, law
full purposes. and just limita-
tions of taxation are violated ;
the instant that the State
takes property from its citi-
zens that is not needed or
takes inequitably that which
is needed, that instant the eX-
ercise OF the power becomes a
matter of will and might and
not of law and right. The
greatest evils that character
ize free and popular govern
ments of today are evils that
result from the abuse of taxa
ton, and their magnitude and
tendency to increase are so
great as to make the boast of
individual freedom on the part
of citizens in respect TO the
full ownership and control OF
their property very often lit
tie more than an unmeaning
phrase. Shall the abuses be
recognized and tolerated, and
a tendency to further pro
gress in this same direction be
encouraged, or shall they be
met with stern and uncom-
promising protests, immediate
check, and ultimate complete
arrest and prevention? These
are the real questions at tissue
at the present time between
the two great political parties
of this country, and the situa-
ton exemplihes anew the les
son of history-that all the
great contests for freedom
from the earliest times have
originated in abuses of taxa

1t is not necessary to read great many

Have you ever StrOlled along the
banks" of a river, after freshet, and
noticed here and there pool of water
that had been left in some hollow place
after the river has receded to it's proper
channel? Were you to visit the river
month or two later you would see
great many of these pools dried up, and
the few, that had remained, would be
covered with a green scum. IT we
were to flood our minds with stream
of useless knowledge, we would soon
lose all desire to read and study: and
when the flood receded it would leave
behind pools of error. The sun of truth
would soon dry up the smaller pools;
but the large ones would remain to
stagnate our understanding. The sea
of knowledge is full of rocks and shoals,
and the ship that undertake to cross
this dangerous sea must be staunch and
sound; and skillful indeed must the
helmsman be to pilot it safely across.
