The Retirement of Judge Waters After
Long Service on the Bench.-A letter
from Belair says: 1.-The recent decision Of
Judge James d. Waters to try no more cases
marks the practical retirement of that veteran
iurist from the bench. His determination to
adjourn court suddenly was caused by the
action of jury in finding verdict of acquit-
tai ina criminal case where the facts seemed
to warrant conviction.
Judge Waters is now 68 years of age and
as the Constitution of Maryland makes the
retirement of judges compulsory when they
reach the age of 70 years, he will retire from
the bench in few weeks, when his second
term OF Is years has been completed. He was
not renominated because he would soon reach
the age limit He will in November be sue
ceeded by Mr.. George L. Van Bibber, who has
been nominated by the Democrats, the Repub-
licans making no nomination in opposition.
"Judge Waters was born in Hartford county
in 1885 and attended the Belnir Academy under
DR.. Arnold, where he received his early educa-
ton. He entered Dickinson College and gradu-
ated with honor in 1856. After he left college
he taught school for timein Alexandria, Va,
and from there he moved to st. Louis where
he took up the study of law and was admitted
to the bar. During the year 1862 he went
South and joined the Confederate Army ard
was made captain of Company G, First Mary
land Cavalry, which position he held up to the
close of the war.
After the close or the war ne returned TO
his native county and took up reading law in
the Office of the late Henry D. Farnandis, and
was admitted to the bar in 1865. A short time
after his return from the South he and the late
William Bouldin established the Hartford
Democrat This they conducted jointly for
about year. after which he purchased the in.
terest of Mr.. Bouldin in the paper, which he
successfully edited and managed until 1871,
when he sold the business to j. M Street, and
the late Patrick Henry Rutledge. In the same
year he was elected associate judge Of the Third
Judicial Circuit, and in November he qualified.
This office he filled for fifteen years satisfac-
torily to the bar and people of the circuit. when
he was appointed and qualified November 20,
1886, by the Governor to serve ad interim and
was reelected at the following general election
for another term of fifteen years. His oppo-
nent on the Republican ticket was Samuel W.
Bradford, a son Of Ex-Governor Bradford.
His second elective term having expired, he
was appointed in November last by Governor
Smith to serve until the general election in
November next.
ION the bench during his entire term he has
been noted for his patient hearing Of cases.
his impartiality and his discriminating de-
cisions, many Of which have received approval
of the Court of Appeals. He has ever been
courteous and considerate of the members of
the bar, jurors, officers and others having bust
ness with the court, and his approaching
retirement will be regretted by all -

AN ANT1-BRIBERY league was organized at
Salisbury, Wicomico county, few days ago,
composed of Republicans, Democrats and
Prohibitionists, its chief object being to put
stop to vote buying at elections by all parties.
A member Of the league said "Our first pur-
pose is to agitate public sentiment and next to
secure a cooperative organization between the
league and all the other party organizations.
By this means we hope to make the league an
efficient agency in removing in great meas
ure the distrust which the party organizations
have of each other and assure good faith.
The league promises to give rewards for evil
dence justifying the arrest Of any person offer
ingto buy votes or hiring voters to remain from
the polls. This will make it dangerous for the
vote buyer to approach the voter, for the voter
will be able to maintain his honor as acitizen,
by informing on the buyer, do service to the
people and aid in Furnishing a criminal"
Other counties in the State, especially Balti-
more county, should take up this matter.
Such an organization is badly needed here.

On THE 18th instant ex-President Cleveland
made an address before the students OF Ar
mour Institute, in Chicago. his subject being
Industrial Education" Among the many
good things he said was the following: II am
a great stickler for higher education, but
want to tell you this: The opportunities today
are greater than ever for boys to get practical
education-.an industrial education--and
would rather my own boy grew up able to
build great bridge like the Brooklyn bridge
than to receive the highest honor that thepeo-
pie could bestow upon him. 1 hate to hear
persons talking in pessimistic strain to the
effect that the day of opportunity in this
country has gone by and that the chances for
a young man to rise by his own efforts have
passed away. 1t is not true. There is room
at the top, and there always will be-"

Having kidnapped the Turkish COM

be able to make terms. The Albanians
don't want any of the reforms that the
European powers are .clamoring for, 1t
is a three cornered fight. In one part
of her dominions Turkey is urging re-
forms at the point of the bayonet, at
another she is resisting too great at
tempts at reform, with bayonet and
cannon. Meanwhile Christians murder
Musselmans in Bulgaria and the Mos
lemah murder Christians in Albania,
and the Turk carries fire and sword in
both directions. Talk of an era OF

How much desire Russia has for for
eigners to trade within her boundaries
is seen by the following warning sent
out by Commercial Agent Greener of
Vladivostock, He says; 1T should be
noted by Persons in the United States
who are called on to invest in Siberian
ventures that few are successful. 1t
is not so difficult to get a st. Peters
burg concession, if one has capital
enough. But the outcome, whether for
mining, fishing, hunting or trading,
has in few cases justified the outlay. 1t
should be clearly understood that the
Russian Government does not offer in
ducements for these ventures, and that
expensive formalities must be complied
with"
