The New Circuit Arrangement.

As we are assured that Col. Drew's motion,
now before the Senate, to divide this Judicial DIS
trict, will become a law, we hope he will not let
his work of reform" stop with the proposed di-
vision simply. The office of Circuit Judge is
known to be one of the most important and re-
sponsible stations in our State, and to discharge
its duties properly, requires the very highest or
der of legal talent. Now, the only way that SUI
perior and suitable ability can be secured is TO
pay for it. Few lawyers. possessing the requi-
site ability can aff.,rd to leave lucrative prac-
tice for position on The Circuit BENCH for the
meagre salary now paid such officer.
The present salary is sufficient only to induce
young and inexperienced lawyers, seeking pro-
fessional no,oriety, rather than the emoluments
of office The case o, Judge Anthony, OF The 7h
Circuit, is but just illustration of the working
of the present low salary provision. We insis
that if the Senate make the proposed change
that justice compells them further TO improve th'
system in a far more important particular.

mechanics and working Men.

We have before us an advertisement of
the Western Protective Union, an associa-
ton of mechanics and others, chartered by
the Legislature of Kentucky, and located at
Newport, KY, opposite Cincinnati.
This association is for the purpose of pro.
tecting the interests of the mechanic and
working man. Their funds are invested in
groceries, produce and the general necessa-
ries of life, and sold to the members at the
smallest possible advance above wholesale
cost. They have also sick and funeral
fund for their relief.
1t is contemplated, as the funds increase,
to procure material TO employ themselves
when trade is dull and work scarce, thus Sc
curing themselves against idleness. All
transactions are cash-no credit is given or
received.
This, we believe, is the first association OF
the kind West of Pittsburgh, but j! is un.
doubtedly destined to be followed shortly by
many others. In the East they are numer-
Gus, and have in every instance without ex-
ception, been of vast benefit to the working
classes. In these times of business prostra-
ton it is well for the mechanic to adopt
ways and means to meet his wants in health
as we'll as in sickness. We know of no
method SO likely to accomplish so desirable
an end as an association of this kind. 1t is
for the interest of the mechanic and working

legislation would be dispatched with much
celebrity. 1t is much 10 be regretted that the
Old Liners in the Senate vii not act freely
and let politics take its course, by giving to
the triumphant party the offices which right
ly belong 10 it. The Democratic members
in that body are exhibiting "dog in the
manger" disposition which brings condemna.
ton and contempt on them from all parts oil
OF the State. 1t is desn crate game they
are playing, and il may win this "move," bat
that they can secure any very great advan.
tage by it ultimately, nobody believes. The
people have spoken in the late elections and
and they ariH be obeyed.
The weather, which has been for Few
days past quite spring-like, is now cold and
nhos pitabe. Stern winter has reasserted
his frigid sway, and binds all nature in his
icy letters.
Money matters continue without much
improvement. Eastern exchange is selling

holders. Yours, respectfully.

THE EFFECTS OF FIRES ON BUSINESS 1t
is a remarkable fact says the Scientific Amer
lean, that the present depressed stale of bus
mess resembles that of 1887, and seems TO
have succeeded very similar events. Thus,
the great fire in New York city took place
in December, 1885, and the next season,
1886, was a very unfruiiiul one; after which
came the flour riots the succeeding winter,
dear provisions, perfect panic in the money
market, and a prostrstion of all regular bust
ness. During the past year, the losses paid
by marine insurance in this city alone exceed
s 100000 while the losses by fire, and
storms on land, have not been less than SlS,-
100000; and to crown all, the crops Gas in
1856 failed in many extensive districts of our
country. We cannot but consider that the
great amount of property destroyed by fire is
powerful element in detracting from the
wealth OF our country, thereby tending To re-
tard It's progress, and make our people poor
er. five allow that only $4,000 900 per
annum have been destroyed by fire since
1896, and this we think is not above the av-
erage amount, the said api;al is $50, 900 ,OOO
OF solid wealth destroyed in that period
eighteen years. Houses, goods and grain
are soiid wealth. Insurance companies do
not economize wealth of country; the pay
meni OF Insurance money for property con.
sumed by fire does not bring back hat pr OPP
erty to the community; 1t is gone, and never
can return. 1t appears to us that the accu-
mutation of the great losses by fires expert
enced in our country must effect all kinds of
business; and this, we think, has been over
looked by those papers which have been
commenting upon the causes of the present
depressed state of business. We say that il
is not only one element of loss, but very i'm.
portant one; and we fondly hope that this
view OF the question may lead to the adop-
ton OF more efficient remedies for the pre-.
vention Of fires.
