SOCIAL CARD PLAYING.

In the Washington f0staieW days
since there appeared a timely and
sensible discussion ofthe much moot
ed subject of card playing from SO
cial standpoint. Ii seems that at a
meeting OF the Kings Daughters. a
society OF the Episcopal church, a
query had been put, asking whether
a member OF the organization could
consistently play progressive euchre,
and the task OF replying fell on a
Maryland minister, Rev. Mr.. Buck.
Without entering into lengthy dis
cussion the respondent replied that a
member oithe Kings Daughters was
in the same position as any other
member OF the church and that each
member must let his OF her conscience
be Judge ofthe right or wrong OF such
card playing. From Mr.. Bucks
standpoint the reply could not have
been simpler or more plain. The
Episcopal church has Incorporated
no rule which makes card playing
wrong for it's members. hence each
must be an individual Judge OF the
right or wrong OF the game, but. as
the Post points out. conditions are
entirely different with members OF
those churches whose rules positively
prohibit indulgence in the social game
of cards. and certainly no one will
question the fact that a man or wo-
man who joins an organization,
church or otherwise, cannot consist
emily or properly violate its rules or
go contrary toits tenets. Harm can
be made OF almost anything and
many a man may not see the evil oil
this thing or that thing and perchance
there is no evil, but harm results
when a person goes so far as to vio-
late the rules OF this or that body
which he has presumably Joined in
voluntary manner, TO indulge in
some pastime in which, as an indi-
vidual, he sees no possible sin. The
question is one which admits of wide
discussion and which will never in
all probability be settled, but there
can be no doubt ofthe Posts correct
ness in setting fourth the fact that
card playing in some cases is a sub
ject for the individuals conscience,
while in others it has been settled in
advance by his church, and he must
respect such settlement or violate her
teachings.

The brutality upon and unpro-

Dispute Over Csmpbsii's Successor

The wrangle over filling the Amherst
iudgeship was settled Wednesday, when
the warning factions effected compro-
mise and asked Gov. Montague to desig-
nate Judge j. NJ. White, OF Albemarle, to
sit in Amherst county until the term Of
former Judge Campbell expires. The
Governor assented, and il was deter
mined that the General Assembly will
not elect q successor to Judge Campbell.
The House passed the bill designed to
give the Governor power TO FIJI such va
cancies.
Some doubt is expressed as to whether
Judge Campbell will take his case to the
courts. 1t is thought he may abandon
this and seek vindication by the people
through election to the House. There
will be hot fight II he runs. Otto l..
Evans, his old political enemy, may OPP
pose him.
A bill OF general interest passed by the
House was that relating 10 the public

relation to the election oicounty, district
and city officers. The bill conforming the
