against the wrong man, in or
dering suit to be brought against the
Postmaster of Baltimore. for salary er-
rone0nSly paid to Il clerk with whose
appointment he had nothing to do, elnd
whose name WAS carried ON the rolls Of
the Baltimore office by order Of the First
Assistant Postmaster General.
In July 1898. Mr.. Warticld was mott

the salary allowance for the Baltimore
Office had been increased $500 per an

Petit. Pcttt'S name was carried on the
rolls of the Baltimore office, but he never
reported for duty to the Postmaster. and
never performed any service official or
otherwise under his direction.
Afterwards. Mr.. Pctit's salary was
increased TO $1,000, and the Baltimore
office ordered to pay the increase, when
Mr.. Petit received. In the meantime if
any clerical work was done by Mr.
Petit. or any official service rendered by
him. it was done upon the order, and
under the direction Of the General Post
Office Department at Washington, and
not by the Baltimore Postmaster.

are now in, and they afford interesting

Mr.. Hearst has carried that State. and
by popular support. that his support

in other States. He made his appeal to
organized labor. and it prevailed in the
manufacturing towns. In this signiti

TO PENSION JUDGES.

"HE principle upon which the
United States Government rests
L. its policy in the matter Of pen
sions is that, when it's servant,
has, for a moderate compensation, spent
the best. years of his life in its service,
he is justly entitled to support from it,
when the period of physical disability is
reached.
The principle is Il correct one. and all
enlightened Nations recognize it.
The obligation to treat its servants
with equal generosity, is no less binding
upon the State than upon the General
Government.
The Judges of its Courts, the teachers
in its public schools, and all its servants,
who spend long periods of their lives in
its service are in justice and by right
entitled TO its continued consideration
have been passed.
We know no class of the States SER
wants more justly entitled to such re-
cOgntion, than Judges Of its Courts who
have attained the age of 10 years.
Maryland has been signally honorcd
in the high professional rank of many,
indeed of the most of her jurists. She
has promoted her best lawyers to the
Bench, upon such salaries as are COM
menSurate only with the most modest
professional attainmcnts. The salaries
paid her Judges, do not compare favor
ably with those paid men of less ability
in many other States
For this reason and others equally
cOgcnt. we think the bill which passed
the Senate of Maryland on Tuesday,
providing a pension of $240O II year for
Judges who have reached the age Of 10,
an eminently proper and just measure,
and that Senator Mccullough in advo-
eating and voting for it, correctly voiced
the opinions of his constituents.

Health means everything. In buying
