The Tanneytown (Md) Record, referring to
the recommendation of the grand jury of this
county concerning immoral shows and gamb
ling devices on the grounds of the Frederick
County Agricultural Society, says
"The worst form of vice is that which is
carried on under fair exterior, and, that an
Agricultural Society should permit itself, for
the sake of gain, to license the most dcgrad'
ing shows immagnable, is not only wrong in
itself but an insult to every l. onest agrlcul-
turist in this section Of the state. There are
other societies as worthy of condemnation as
the one in Frederick, and it is to be hoped
that law and public opinion will unite in sup
pressing their vicious features"

After deciding not to take up the
question of a change in the Rules or OF
recognizing the committees, the Sen
ate made short work of the extra ses-
sion called to act on the Presidents
nominations, and adjourned Saturday
afternoon. 1t would really have been
the saving of time in the end for the
Senate to have remained in session long
enough to have settled both of those
questions, but there are such wide dif-
fe-ences of opinion about changing the
rules so as to limit debate that its set
Element would have required more
time than the Senators were disposed
to devote to it this spring, and the in
fluential Senators had reasons of their
own, some of them connected with pa
tronage, against any reorganization OF
the committees before the regular ses-
sion.
Secretary Longs answer to the Sen-
ate resolution, asking whether officers
in the Navy, promoted from the ranks,
were allowed to wear the same uniform
worn by officers graduated from the
Naval Academy, shows the Senate in
ouiry to haye been timely and peril
nent. The Secretary admits that they
do not, but denies that the distinction
is made because one set of officers won
their way On their merits from the
ranks, and the other was educated at
public expense at Annapolis. He says
further that the Navy Department is
now preparing a uniform regulation
book, which will permit officers pro-
noted from the ranks to wear certain
insignia and uniform, not now worn by
them, but which are permitted for ether
commissioned officers, which is a prac-
tical admission of the injustice of the
discrimination. This is a matter de-
serving the early attention Of Congress,
and the Army as well as the Navy
should be included. There is entirely
too much snobbishness among the grad
yates Of Annapolis and West Point
They should be taught that the people
maintain those two expensive instltu-
tons to turn out trained sailors and
soldiers, not social toadies, of whom the
country already has superintendent
stock. This country has become great
by recognizing and rewarding merit,
wherever found, and its greatness will
begin to decline the day that it reverses
that sturdy American policy. Even a
cursory glance through history will
show that the men who made the U. S
great were neither toadies nor snobs
