Thousand dollars. and he appoints only such
deputies % the judges may determine and re-
quire.
The mode OF trial by the district court for
q delinquent sheriff ID provided, and the
power Of removal given to that court In case
Of his conviction.
Constables are to be elected for the city
courts by the qualified voters: their COM
pensation and duties are to be fixed by the
Legislature.
The Recorder Of Mortgages and Register OF
Conveyances are to be elected BY the qualified
voters The salary OF the former Ia to be
twenty five hundred and that Of the latter
four thousand dollars
The Legislature at It's first session Is to fix
all fees, OF which oil the officials are to render
an account to the Treasurer Of the State, and
to pay all surplus over their stated salaries.
There Is to be one coroner for the whole
city, to be elected by the qualified voters,
with salary Of five thousand dollars, and
the right to appoint an assistant at three
Thousand dollars. The coroner Is to be Ii
censed physician, having diploma from
some State college, and he Ia TO combine with
his ordinary and proper functions those of
the city physicians.
AS the coroner is charged with important
and delicate judicial functions, he ought also
to have been required to be somewhat Of
lawyer.
There is little difficulty In any graduate OF
q college quickly acquiring all the judicial
and legal knowledge essential to the proper
discharge OF the functions OF the coroner.
The greatest coroner England ever had WAS
DR.. Wakly, the publisher OF the Lancet. In
London q great point is gained by giving
the physicians monopoly OF the coroner
ship OF the city, in the saving Of the medical
charges Of the doctors who are called on to
ascertain the cause OF death. That duty now
devolves upon the coroner.
We have been thus full and elaborate In our
digest and review of the provisions of our new
constitution because OF their great Importance
and, we may add, OF their general merits.
Doubtless there are not a few defects which
time and experience may develop. Such q
system Is necessarily experimental. 1t will
be for the Legislature to apply the proper..cor-
rections to such defects as may be de-
YelODed

California has curious climate and equally
curious politics. The Democrats and Repub-
Hcans of Nevada county. for instance, have
Joined forces and will support the same can
didates. And still stranger, Geo. G. Gorham,
ex-Secretary of the Senate, the leader Of the
stalwarts. the organizer Of the bloody shirt
campaign In 1876, the bitterest Radical OF
them ALL has taken the stump In favor Of DR..
Glenn, the Democratic candidate for Cover
nor, and is now using some Of his strong VI
Imperative powers upon his late party friends.

short time ago nearly all the newspapers
OF Chicago were loud In their abuse Of the new
Democratic mayor, Hon. Carter Harrison,
because OF hss removal of certain police Off
Gals. 1t has since transptred that the mayor
was aware that the officers in question had
received brides from criminals, who thus Sc
cured immunity from arrest. The present
opinion is that Mayor Harrison understands
his business Those who recently denounced
him are now loud In praise Of bis sagacity
and fidelity to his trust.

The campaign In Ohio seems to have veered
around considerably, and the fight 10 now be-
Ing largely made over the Legislature. That
body elects Senator next year to succeed
Thurman, and as the latter's political fate
hangs on the Legislature he and his friends
are naturally making an earnest fight for 1t.
It Id somewhat more difficult for the Demo-
Gratis to secure the Ohio Legislature than 1t is
to elect their candidate for Governor. They
seem, however, nowise daunted by this.

A law has recently gone into operation In
titioner to obtain a license from the State
Board OF Health. As consequence large
proportion OF 5000 medical pretenders have
already emgrated. This Is well for Illinois,
but the effect upon adjoining States is not
healthy. Self-preservation will require them
to enact and enforce similar laws.

That great victory over the Zulus does not
appear to pan out well. Since the statement
that the British army was falling back on Its
supports, nothing has been heard from South
Africa. Perhaps Cetewayo's army was not
annihilated. after all. Itwould appear that It
was simply repulsed.

an old negro man named William
Piermarl last week, and IN the row
Sophie struck William on the head
