Judge Rowell AssaiIed.

1t is well known throughout the state
that Judge j. w Rowell has preferred
charges against J c. Jones, an eX-
states attorney of Rutland county,
wherein he i accused of making false
representations to Judge Rowell con
corning certain liquor eases. on the
strength of which the cases were dis
missed These charges are soon to be
investigated by the supreme court 50
far a. we have noted. Mr. Jones does
not deny that he mislcd Judge RowelI
but claims eXtcnuating circumstances,
among which is the familiar one that
the sentiment of Rutland county would
not sustain him in rigid enforcement
Of the law.
The Rutland Herald is of course
greatly excited Anything that prom
Uses to effect dminution in the rum
traffic under the prohibitory law is
enough TO draw the fire of the Herald.
Being in Il position where it cannot
well defend the actions of Jones. it
Iashly assails Judge Rowell himself
and TO all effect and purpose charges
that he is even more culpablc than the
is alleged TO be. This it es-
says to prove by digging up and pub
fishing the rum docket of the Rutland
county court, March term OF 1898. over
which Judge Rowcll presided. giving
also the disposition of the cases. This
record, if it j. correct. shows that of
100 eases entered. los were nollc pros
scd. For this alleged non-entorccment
of the law. the Herald seeks to hold
Judge Rowcll responsible by the fol-
lowing direct language -
These facts hardly tend to bear ont
the idea that the failure OF the law is
wholly due to prosecuting officers. or
that they are even wholly Irresponsible
for miscarriage in tile courts them

We do not suppose that a man who

more than the simple assertion of a ia

John ". RoWcll had not served his
state according to hi, oath Of Office It's
a pretty serious charge that the Herald
makes, thi, attack upon member Of
the state supreme court. though the
contemporary may not have appreciated
it The people of Vermont will resent

NEXT TO SHERMAN.
f. C. Partridge of RI tlan to be First
Assistant Secretary.

K. g. Partridge OF hb In ~ NC va
Assistant Secretary.
II is stated on excellent authority that
Mai. Mckinley has promised the post
of first assistant secretary OF state 10
Frank C. Partridge of Vermont, says
A Washington despatch TO the Boston
Globe.
MIR. Partridge came to Washington
when ex-Gov. Proctor entered the
Harrison cabinet as secretary OF war
and was the latter's private secretary.
When Walker Blaine died, a vacancy
was created in the office Of solicitor
of the department of state, and Mr..
Partridge Unsupported to that place.
Later he was sent to Venezuela as our
minister. He resigned shortly before
The last administration went out and
since then has been Dracticing law In
Vermont.
A better selection for the important
place of first assistant secretary OF
state could not have been made. MIR.
Partridge, although a young man,
has shown abilities of a high order
and both in Washington and Ven
ezuela made distinct and favorable
impression. His legal qualifications
are of a high order and in going into
the state department he will have the
advantage OF familiarity with the di-
ulomacy. Senator Proctor, who has
always held high opinion Of Mr.
Partridge, secured the appointment
for him.
Mr. Rockhill, the present first as
sistant secretary of state, who is Re-
publican. will be transferred to the
diplomatic service, il is understood.
Mr.. Rockhill has always been anxious
10 represent this country either in
China or Japan, and as he speaks
both languages huentIy his appoint
ment to either court would be fortu-
nate.
The news OF Mr.. Partridge's selec
tion a. first assistant secretary Of
state viii be a great disappointment
to Mr.. Harold Sewall of Bath. 1t is
understood that he was anxious to
secure the position, but failing that he
would not object to going into the
diplomatic service.
