IRISH JUDGES.
The Splendid Salaries They Get Boil, ON
and Off Duty,

The Splendid Salaries They Get Both on
and Off Duty.
No professional or official men in the
world have 80 easy time of it as the
Irish judges. The Lord Chancellor gets
$40. 900 a year and retiring pension, no
matter how brief time he serves, of
$4,000. The Chief Justice of Ireland
has $25, 900 salary and $17,5OO retiring
pension after fifteen years service. The
Chief Justice Of Common Pleas has
$4,000 year and the Chief Baron the
same. Their retiring pensions are
$12,50O. The five puisne judges have
81, 800 year and retiring pensions on
the like liberal scale. Ali the other
judges of inferior courts are literally
paid, and though the salaries are some
thirty per cent lower than similar func-
tionaries receive In Ell. land. this is
amply compensated by the difference in
the cost OF living. A house which would
cost $4,000 year In London can be had
for $1,000 in Dublin, and wages and ex-
penses are more than thirty per cent
less In most respects. The Irish judges
have, too, at least one third less to do
than their British brethren, who are
very heavily tasked, owing to the i'm
mense pressure Of business in the Lon
don courts. An Irish judge gets at least
four months leisure in the year. The
Irish bench is almost invariably filled
by men Of fret rate ability, and it is rare
TO see It's judgments reversed in the
House Of Lords.

we think, DR.. Kennedy--to lie dor
mant for some time but the com plants
became 80 loud and numerous about
the smallness OF the loaves, that the
Mayor had to announce his Intention OF
enforcing the ordinance. This brought
out the opposition Of the Bakers Asso-
citation, and they had sufficient in
Huencc 10 nave the old ordinance re-
pealed by the then Radical Common
The original ordinance was enacted
here to meet the difficulty OF the poor
people not having any change less than
I'VE cents, and when the question was
before the Council, some who were In
favor OF free trade, proposed to get over
the difficulty by having the initials and
the weight stamped on each loaf others
wanted the loaves to be made OF either
one, two or four pounds, as in other
States, and for the sellers to have tickets
for cents. His honor the Mayor would
not sign an ordinance for either OF these
plans, but recommended one requiring
the bakers to hang up placards In their
shops with the weight Of the five and
ten cents loaves. This ordinance was
passed, but never enforced. Again a
clamor arose about small loaves, and
the Bakers Association went into con-
sultation with the Council and the pres
ent ordinance was the reSult-which has
also remained a dead ordinance up to
this time.
This is question of the utmost i'm
portance to the poor family. They
must buy the I've or ten cent loaf what
ever the weight is. The rich man can
bake his own bread. What the poor
man wants Is simply to know how much
bread he Is getting for his five cents.
Let him know this either by making the
pound the standard, or by stamping the
five cent loaf with the weight, and he
will then go where he can get the largest
and finest loaf
Very respectfully, your obedient SER

LOOKING FOR A PROTECTOR.
France Asked to Shelter and sustain the
BaeZ Government.
IN Y Herald

FE8uGS Aaheu ~ 8neIGcT anu sustain Hhf
Baez Government.
IN. Y. Herald.l
President Baez Is to-day convinced
that the renewal Of the annexation
scheme to the United States would be a
complete failure both here and at Wash
ington. Yet he feels that his stay in
power. unless he secures the support of
some foreign government, is rather
doubtful. He Is in search of some power
which will take charge of him. At first
IT was thought OF making an appeal to
Prince Bismarck, by pointing out to
his Highness all the advantages which
the imperial government would derive
from SANTANA Bay as naval station and
by renewing all the fantastical and won
derful reports about the richness OF st.
Domingo which at one time had been
laid before President Grant. But it
seems that Senior Baez. who never had
any sympathy for the North Americans,
has still less for the Germans. Pro.
posals OF annexation or OF proteetorate
were some time ago made to the French
government, but they resulted in
nothing. Now that there is nothing to
expect from the United States, now that
there is no way to dupe the Germans,
Mr.. Baez recalling the old saying, son
TeU1ent tODOmrS q SeS premeres antO,lrS,"
comes back to France.
Another appeal has lately been made
to France by Baez, through the French
Consul at this city. The French gov
eminent is requested to use its interven-
ton, and to impress on the Haytian
government the urgency of putting an
end to the help afforded by the latter
government to the Dominican insur-
gents on the frontiers. The same re-
quest had been urged on the American
government when the annexation
scheme was on foot. AS a natural re-
ward OF the service which France might
render In this case, Mr. Baez promises
to work out among the Dominican peo-
pie the idea Of French protectorate or
annexation. As matter of course the
same fantastical and wonderful tales
about st. Domingo, it's wealth and the
civilization OF its Inhabitants are told to
the French government. At the same
time the necessity is pointed out to an
swer Immediately to Mr.. Baez's appeal
In order to prevent an annexation to
the United States, which, sooner or
later, would be unavoidable.
