THE CIRCUIT JUDGEsHIP.

There seems to be a well-dehned
sentiment in Jefferson county that the
next Judge of the thirteenth Judicial
circuit should be from this county,
and strong fight will be made to
obtain this honor for Jefferson man.
The REGISTER referred last week to
the favorable consideration of Hon.
Geo. NJ. Beltzhoover, of Shepherds
town, for this place. Thomas c Green
ESQ.,, and Cleon Moore, Esq, of
Charles Town, are also formally an
Douuced as candidates, and Col. For
rest w. Brown is suggested by a
writer in the Charles Town Spirit.
There will De no lack Of good mater
ial to select from in this county, and
either of the gentlemen named could
wear the judicial ermine with dignity
and to the satisfaction of the people
From the Charles Town AdrOcats of
last week we take the following sug-
gestive editorial:
The most important office to be filled
i'm the coming election is that Of Judge
of the Circuit Courts Of this, the thir-
teenth judicial circuit, embracing the
counties OF Morgan. Berkeley and JEFF
ferson The Office IS a responsible one
and the duties are eNacting and onerouS.
At present jefferson county has three
candidates announced. and while Judge
Faulkner has not publicly announced
hi candidacy. 1t is generally under
stood that he stands for re election.
In the nature Of things, as wei as with
geographical consi, GRAFTON, Jefferson
county has strong claims upon the office.
This county has never had a Democrat
ic Judge. who resided IN il, elected. since
the Civil War. She had Judge by
appointment for about eighteen months
preceding the election of Judge Duck
wall, Of Morgan county. All other
Judges have come from B rkeley COun-
W. Jefferson HAS lHt DtHOCId'lI Notc
and without them Democratic Judge
could not be elected in the district.
These votes she has cheerfully and I'M
srIntingly furnished the other counties
to elect their candidates. jefferson
now aspires TO the judgrship, and her
claim is certainly aud truly deserving
of much consideration in the nomina-
ton of the next Judge. She does not
base her claim upon discomfort or com
plant. nor upon the superiority of men,
but chiefly upon the ground that she
has not had elected Democratic Judge
in the history OF the State.

Mail Carriers Organized.

BE it known that concentration Of
the rural mail carriers of the county of
Jefferson, State of West Virginia, in the
poStoffice in ShrpherdStown, February
22d, resulted IN an organization known
as the Rural Letter Carriers ASsocia-
tion of Jefferson County"

Of the best methods of performing tie
duties of the rural free delivery service,
and to strive to increase the revenue of

We notice that Mr. Tracey L. JEFF
fords, lawyer of Washington who
also has home in Harpers Ferry,
and who is a Republican of some
prominence in his party, comes out
strongly for Hon Charles F Teeter as
the Republican nominee for Cover
nor of West Virginia. Mr., Jefords
is for Teeter himself and says that he
belives the great majority of RePub-
licans in Jefferson county are for him.
We must say that We doubt this, at
least so far as the solid, substantial.
thoughtful Republicans are concerned.
Congressman Dayton is strenuous in
his advocacy of Mr.. Teeter's nomina-
ton, and it is natural that all who
hold Office by his grace or who have
favors to ask of him shall answer
quickly when he cracks the whip.
Nevertheless, Republicans who think
for themselves do not forget that Mr..
Teeter has allied himself with the
monopolies and corporations in West
Virginia in such way that puts him
entirely out of sympathy with the
masses of the people. He signed the
manifesto Of the coal operators, oil
producers and other monopolists in
this State, and placed himself square
ly on record against tax reform. He
has been utterly opposed to the just
and equitable propositions advocated
by Governor White to take some of
the burden of taxation off Of the
farmers and small taxpayers and place
it where it rightly belongs-upon the
coal, gas and Gil companies and the
railroad corporations.
When it comes to a question be-
tween VIM. M. o. Dawson and tax
reform on the one side and Mr.. Teeter
and monopoly on the other, we think
the substantial Republicans will as
sert themselves pretty strongly in
favor Of the former, whatever the
ofice-holders may do.

THERE have been no startling de-
velopmeDts the past week in the war
between Japan and Russia. Both
sides are making preparations for a
sanguinary campaign later on. Rus
sia is simply acting on the defensive,
and will make no movement against
the Japs until she has had time to
mass an enormous army in Korea or
Maucburia which will be sufficient to
crush the japanese forces. Japan, on
the other hand, is rapidly assembling
troops, and will endeavor to irhict a
succession of defeats upon the Rus
SLAMS that will prevent them from
concentrating an army anywhere near
the scene of the present trouble The
Russian Navy is almost destroyed,
and if the Japs can partly destroy the
Siberian Railroad they may give
Russia some body blows.

A GREAT kick is being made in the
western part of the State because OF
the extravaganza in the method Of
conveying prisoners to the penitentia-
~. 1t cost the county of Fayette
last month $4,000 to land its prison
ers in the penitentiary. A big lot OF
law-breakers were sent up, and there
was a guard for every prisoner. The
newspapers contend that this was
entirely unnecessary and that half
the guards would have made a safe
escort. The first of this week three
prisoners were sent from Jefferson
county to the penitentiary, and four
guards were sent along. This may
have a necessity, but We rather think
it is costing the county too much for
this particular matter. A bill that
ought to have passed the Legislature
provided that regular guards from
the penitentiary should perform such
duties. 1t would cost vast deal less
if this were the law.

TIE American Newspaper Publish
ers' Association is pin arms over the
e1tortions of the Paper Trust. The
trust is gouging the newspapers most
scandalously, and high prices and Inn
tied production are evils that are be-
coming iutolerable. The Paper Trust
is one of the latest and sauciest of the
children of our high tariff, and most
of these same newspapers have helped
along its growth. If Congress should
take the tariff off Of paper and wood
pulp, and admit the Canadian product,
the situation would be relieved imme-
diately-but Congress is not likely to
do this. ADemocratic administration
is needed for such work.
