TIE IRON-CL.4D T1y LlW.

1t is undoubtedly for the benefit of all,
that the taxes should be paid promptly. At
the same time the tax law, concerning every
property holder, of all laws, should be the
simplest, plainest, most Ineligible and least
expensive. Tax laws proceed upon the prin-
ciple that, in case of delinquent taxes, the
State has the right to take the property for
security, and to hold it as such security for
the payment of the taxes. If the taxes are
not paid, and the property redeemed, then
the State becomes the absolute owner in fee.
The present law is complicated, scattered all
over creation, and requires a life time to
understand its interminable provisions.
One great objection to the law of 1874 is,
that the owner of the property is never in
court, the proceedings IN rem. and e.c purte
without proper notice to the owner, and
without a judicial finding on the facts. At
present the clerk enters up judgment with
out the interposition of the Court, and with
out notice. This is considered by many law
yers unconstitutional. The law should be
amended in this respect, the time extended
to redeem, the penalties and costs reduced,
notice required to be served on the
owner, a judgment of the court required
to divest the title, and the next
law not liable to the objection, that the
Chief Justice of the State was one of the
compilers of it. While the present law is
mistrusted, there is no doubt but what it
was intended to be iron-clad, and most law
yers hesitate to test the matter under the
circumstances.

Rank Heresy.

Dr. Howard Crosby is certainly herctical

assurance to say that young girls ohght to

this as the error of great mind, and pas. it
over IN excusing silence, but when he goes
further and tells us that germans, and the
various other methods of what is called $50

iady's life, and that possibly she might not

REDUCTION OFSALARIES OF COUNTY
OFFICERS,

There is great danger of OVERRIDING this
matter. Discrimination and good judgment
are necessary, and unless these are exercised
the reform measure, with the best intentions,
will defeat itself. The reduction of salaries
of county officials proposed by the commit
tee of the Chamber of Commerce is, in some
respects, Objectionable, and will give rise to
serious opposition in the Legislature. The
true and only rule is to pay for value re-
ceived: the compensation should be accord
ing to the services required and rendered.
Officers requiring skill and knowledge, edu-
cation and learning, OF any qualification not
possessed by the day laborer, or clerk in
store, should have salary attached in pro-
portion.
Adopting the above rule, where fees can
be allowed, it is better to allow an officer in
fees the real value of the service. If it is
worth one dollar to saw cord of wood, pay
the dollar. II it is worth seventy cents to
serve subpoena, pay seventy cents. If it is
worth ten cents folio to record an instru-
ment, pay ten cents. Pay for the value
of the work no more and no less. The Office
of clerk of court, register of deeds, and sher-
itf, should be fee offices, except for criminal
business, which should be stipulated
amount, and the fees reduced to the lowest
value of the work. If this were done. the
county would lose nothing, the tax payers
would not have to pay in the tax list, and
neither would the Offices yield cabinet min
ister's salary.
AS to judges of courts, whether of the
probate court or municipal, they should be
paid salaries, and no one who knows any
thing about the business of either but must
know that $4,000 is not too much. These
courts should be allowed clerks who should
receive the fees, or living salaries The
public should not speculate in the labor of
any one, MOI run courts to make money. If
the clerk earns 81 900 year in work, why
should the court take half of it? These are
suggestions it will be we'll enough to con-
slider. For instance, the bill proposed pays
the Probate Judge of Ramsey county less
than any Judge Of Probate in the State re-
ceives under the general law. This is not
just. The bill should be carefully consid-
cred and digested before being presented to
tho Legislature.

DIPLONliTIC md CONSULlR -iE-
FlIRS.

DIPLOKiIIC md CONSULlR IL
During the revolutionary era, the names of
Franklin, Adams, Jefferson and other illus
trious citizens dignifed and adorned the di-
plomatic service of the colonies and Of the
United States. Have we improved since?
Periodically, at intervals and with few ex-
captions up to 1861, SO long as the Demo-
cratic party was in power, statesmen and
gentlemen and honest men represented the
country at foreign courts. Since then, we
have had brothers-in-law, and third cousins,
and poor relations, poker players and pot
house politicians, a disgrace to any people
and of no earthly use, except to disgust
sensible persons abroad with their low vul-
garisms, and with aping the manners and
assuming the airs of the foreign aristocracy.
If this thing is to continue, it might be as
well to abolish the diplomatic service alto
gether, cut off all foreign relations and shut
ourselves up in Chinese exclusiveness. Con-
suls should be able to pay their ex-
penses. having been allowed an out
fit and an Office and so on. If
we are to have ministers at foreign courts
they should be paid sufficient salary to ap
pear respectable, to maintain the dignity
and honor of the country, and to protect its
interests. They should not be sent, nor APP
pear there as beggars, nor clowns. They
should be educated men, men who under
stand national law, and who have some re-
finement of learning and of manners. The
diplomatic service, as at present represented,
is disgrace and shame. Grant stuck all
over Europe, Asia and Africa, his own and
his wife's relations, and then sent Parson
Newman around to pray with them. We
have had enough of all this thing. The
United States navy, for ten years, has been
converted into pleasure yachts and junket-
ing parties. Congress should withhold every
dollar of appropriation until this thing is
stopped.
Don't, however, send officials abroad to
appear as beggars, but give them decent
salaries, in proportion to the dignity of their
position, and to their surroundings.

Some local ring of contractors on the Up
per Missouri, thinking they may profit by it,
are beginning, through newspaper correspon-
dence, to agitate for the establishment of a
new army department. for the Yellowstone
and Upper Missouri, for which Fort Lincoln
would naturally be the outftting and supply
post, making Bismarck, across the river, the
natural roost for contractors, and conyen-
lent place for negotiations with the parties
who sometimes have to be seen when fat
contracts are let. The insincerity of these
schemers is to be seen in their talking of
Miles, colonel, and outranked by nine
other Colonels of infantry, for commander
of their proposed department Their mis-
chievous disposition is manifested in repre-
sensations that Gen. Miles, and Gen. Terry,
his department commander, do not harmon
ize; that Miles himself, believes he ought to
be in command; and that Terry, some time
ago, sent a dispatch to Miles, saying that he
was commander of this department., and that
the subordinates in it would get along better
if they obeyed orders. It is evident that a
new department would be a good thing for
the contractors ''and sich,'' but the govern
ment's interests would seem to require that
its business should not be transacted in out
of the way places.
