Judge Vinson Will Soon Resign.

The Associate Judgeship of the Sixth
Judicial Circuit will be vacant after
the 9Th of the present month, so far as
Judge John Il. Vinson, of Moutgom-
cry, the present incumbent, is con-
cerned, as his age at that date will be
10 years, the extreme limit allowed by
the statutes. Governor Brown was no.
titled recently by Judge Vinson that
his resignation was ready to be handed
in on that day. The Circuit comprises
the counties of Frederick and Mont
gomery, but as Chief Judge McSherry
and Associate Judge Lynch are both
residents of Frederick County, Judge
WILSON'S successor, according to the
constitution, will have to be resident
OF Montgomery County. There are sew
eral candidates for the position made
vacant by Judge Wilson's retirement,
the most prominent of whom are State
Senator Hattersley w. Talbot and
Messrs. William V. Bouc, Thomas

THE people of New York State are
to be congratulated on the fact that
there is provision in the new constl-
tion of the State which prohibits the
acceptance of passes from the railroads
by the public officials, aud it is argued
that this one fact alone will cause a
reduction in fares on all of the railroads
in the State to Two cents per mile.
This shows that the passes that have
been issued to public officials have been
paid for out of the pockets of the pee
pie who have travelled. 1t shows also
that it pays to compel public officials
to be honest. Legislation for the
proper regulation of the common car
liers is impossible SO long as the men
who shape that legislation are under
Obligations 20 the railroads, and have
their pockets filed with transporta-
tion books. The example that has
been set hy the State Of New York
is one that should be followed by every
State in the Union.

JOHN BURNS, the English labor agi
itator, says he thinks the miners in
England are better off than the miners
in this country. Burns should know,
for he has seen the condition of both,
which leads to the conclusion that
there is great deal of rot in this talk
of foreign pauper labor that the Re-
publicans profess to fear so much, and
which they are SO anxious to not have
come in competition with the working
men of this country. If the Republi-
cans are really so anxious about the
worklngmen of this country not COM
ing into competition with the pauper
labor of Europe, they will assist in
passing such legislation as will restrict
the entrance of these foreign paupers
into this country where they come into
competition with the workingmen
here in way that affects them much
more seriously than any competition
with which they may meet from the
laborers of other countries while they
remain at home.

IN Europe they say "Scratch Rus
sian. and you find Tartar" The
proverb can be slightly changed to say
Scratch a Japanese, and you find a
barbarian" This seems to have been
proved by the recent reports that have
reached the lest Of the world regard
ing the massacres of the Chinese by
the conquering japanese soldiery.
lhat there was some proyot alton can
hardly be denied, but the question is
was there enough provOcation t. war
rant the officers ofthe japanese army in
letting loose murder, fire and rapine on
an already conquered, unresisting pop
ulace. 1t is not only from fallen Port
Arthur that these tales come. They
speed from every Chinese village and
city that has fallen into japanese
hands. Heretofore the Japanese have
been styled "rhe Frenchmen of the
East" because of their high degree of
civilization and liberal idead But
the mask has fallen, and when1ts thin
texture is seen, the world knows that
Japan's civilization was only IA super
fetal veneer that crumbled when
touched and tested, and under which
lurked the usual Oriental cruelty and
lust for blood. Japan was fast making
for herselfa place among civilized ma
tions. Her literature was attracting
attention, her art was being copied by
the West. Foreigners who visited the
country spoke glowingly of the gentle
manners of the people and their cor
dial hospitality and courtesy. These
articles seem ridiculous in the light of
recent events, and it will be some time
before JAPAN can regain the respect for
her by other nations. If the reports
We're denied ii would be different.
There would still BE- chance that the
bloodshed existed in the minds of
sensational newspaper correspondents.
But it is worthy of remark, that the
Japanese minister in Washington does
not positively deny the rumors

AT last matters have reached pos
sible eliminating point, with respect
to proposition to so arrange the dates
for holding the next fairs in Frederick
and Hagelstown, that mutual benefit
will be derived by both associations.
For this purpose committees from both
societies met in Baltimore yesterday
(Thursday), to talk the matter over
and look without prejudice on both
sides of the question. The case needs
readjusting and the sooner it is done
the better for all concerned. Egotism
and petty jealousies should have no
place in regulating the reform of any
public enterprise, and wherever such
is present, the result is a serious handi-
cap and disastrous disadvantage. Yet,
with it all, the Frederick Society's bal
ance account was on the right side of
the ledger.

that has become almost part of the
town itself. The Frederick City Spoke
Company are making active prepara-
tons to remove their plant to Alexan-
drla, Va, and expect to be permanently
located there within the next two
months. The reasons claimed for the
sudden change were that the freight
rates were too high and that the proper

this vicinity. This establishment en-
p'oyed about thirty hands, some of
