An article in the Gazette this week
lays great stress upon the fact that
Mr.. Stanley is not resident of the
county seat, and for this reason argues
that he is not as desirable or as avail
able candidate as his opponent. This
is tiimsy indeed. Particularly SO, when
we remember that Mr.. Stanley's home
is in Geographic communication with
nearly every important point in the
Circuit, and his presence could be had
anywhere upon the shortest notice.
1t is 4 strong characteristic of the
man that he is always where
duty calls and is prompt in keeping
his engagements. We believe that our
people could have no one more willing.
ready, obliging or conscientious in the
performance Of all the requirements of
the Judgeship than Mr. Stanley. 70;
more than thirty years, with the ex-
ceptlon OF two brief intervals, justice
has been administered without resi-
dent judge here, and who has ever
heard complaint of the Inconvenience
and expense in consequence thereof
The State Constitution requires that
a person, to be eligible for election as
Judge, shall have been resident of
the county for five years. Mr.. STAN
ley has been resident of Prince
Georges county for forty-six years,
with the exception of a brief interval
when he was serving in the Confeder-
ate army. He is loyal to his county
and his people, and has been identified
with many substantial and practical
public enterprises, redounding to their
welfars He expects the people to sup
port him and he has right to expect
it.

Since the Powers have threatened
to shoot, the Sultan has decided to
come down. He has now agreed to
give up Thessaly, accepting the STRAIT
egic rectification Of the boundary pro-
posed by the Ambassadors. He still
holds out on the indemnity, and when
that is settled there will be further dis
pute about other conditions, but the
Sultan will eventually accept what the
powers insist upon.
The only way, says the Philadelphia
Times, to deal with slippery creature
like the Turk is to take him hy the
throat. The only result of polite dip
lomacy has been to give him 4 fresh
lease of power and to make his contin-
ued presence in Europe more disturb
ing than ever. That the Sultan is now
in position to carry on his dilatory
game is disgrace to Christian Europe.

\ LARGE LAW PRACTICE

During this time he has been on one side
or the other of nearly every important
civil case and many of the most important
criminal cases before the Circuit Court of
Prince Georges county. To illustrate the
truth of this, it is said that few years ago
Mr.. Stanley was confined to his house by
illness at court time, and as he appeared
either for the plaintiff or defendant in
nearly every case on the trial calender for
the term, it was impossible for the wheels
of justice to revolve until ar. Stanley re-
covered sufficiently to be in court, and an
adjournment was necessary until he re-
covered
MANY OFFICES OF HONOR AND TRUST
Mr. Stanley has never been an office
seeker in any sense. His only experience
in holding political county office was in
1881, when he was nominated ON the dem
ocratic ticket for the State Legislature.
His great strength with the people was
shown on this occasion. He was one of
the few Democrats on the county ticket
elected that year, ana he ran lar anead OF
them all In many ways since then has he
deserved popularity, and the earnest de-
sire of his many friends, irrespective Of
party. to have him as a candidate for the
Judgeship, proves that he has high place
in the affection and esteem of the people
of the county

Icebergs and Weather.

Among the unusual weather effects
of the year just ended were two crops
of icebergs in Greenland. The iceberg
crop takes no money to move it; it
moves itself, and by deplorable mis-
direction of energy it crosses the route
Of the steamships plying between Eu-
rope and the United States. Usually
it's earliest yield gets down to the New
foundland banks late in January; this
occurred last year, but second lot
came in mid-December, to the great
disgust of ship captains and the terror
of passengers, for collision between
steamer and a chunk of ice half a
mile thick and mile or two long sell
dom results in a victory for the ship.
Fortunately for ocean traffic, the ice
berg, like the rattlesnake, gives warm
ing of it's nearness; it chills the air for
several miles around, and men on deck
are quick to take the hint and keep a
sharp lookout. Another weather sur
prise and mystery was storm in early
December that piled snow a foot deep
on the level, even in South Carolina,
while there was none in New York and
Pennsylvania. These climatic aberra-
tons have not been explained, but had
they been the results would have been
no less unwelcome than they were.-
