FEES AND SALARIES.

The officers Of Esneralda county have sent
circulars over the State praying for relief At
the hands Of the next Legislature, because
their salaries are not Is large as they think
they should be. 1t is peculiar weakness
with Nevada sffceholders that they will work
day and night to get an Office where the salary
is known, and no sooner are they elected than
they begin to make move for a raise If
the Offices and the salaries, as they originally
stood in Esmeralda county, are not suitable
to the luxurious tastes of the present incumb-
ents, why in the name of common sense do
they not resign? Among the many peculiar
reasons urged for a raise Of salary is this one
In many instances Tin nearly every county,
the salary allowed is not only inadequate COM
pensati0n for the services required, but is toe
small to afford subsistence.
1t is quite probable, however, that those
oficeholders in Esmeralda county will con-
tinue to hold on to their Offices, even if the
Legislature makes no extra provision for
them. If they had the ability to make more
money by any easier methed, they would
doubtless Immediately embrace it. The cir
cular further says that the plan of paying
salaries results in an unjust discrimination
between different Offices of the same county.
In other words, the idea seems to be that
each Office should be paid alike. The circular
further says:
The plan, a. a rule, especially in sparsely
populated counties, Of allowing compensation
by salary, instead Of fees, works wrong and
hardship upon officers, offers great induce
ments for Official neglect and corruption, and
promises no benefit to litigants or taxpayers.
1t wsuld appear to the most casual observer
that in sparsely settled country, where fees
were few and far between, that an officer had
much rather depend on sure salary than the
uncertainty of fees. The fact that salaries
offer great inducements for neglect and
of the average Esmeralda ofticeholder can
only be maintained by paying him nearly
all the money in sight. If the county is in
such fix as that the sooner it gets new set
of officials, the better. Ormsby county will
not suffer in any way by the change. Under
the fee system its County Clerk has averaged
an income of from $500 to 500 month, for
simple clerical work. This is more than
Judges Of the Supreme Bench are paid for
duties which require the highest state of in
tellectual development and legal study. Under
the new law the incoming County Clerk will
get 500 month, which is certainly enough
for the requirements Of the Office. The tax
payers will not submit to any change in the
present law which enables county officials to
scoop in salaries which are, ~ rule, sve
times - much a. husiness men pay for the
same amount Of clerical work. Those who
wish to put thousand dollars into the pockets
of the lawyers who engineer the bill are of
course at liberty to do so.

ALL ORES VILE BE TRATED.

We notice that all the Carson papers speak
Of the proposed works as smelling works,
from which we infer that it il emily smelling
ores that are to be treated in them. Enter
prise.
While smelling works is the term used in
Carson to designate this enterprise, it is pro-
posed to put up such worksas will treat any kind
Of ore known to exist in Nevada. The APPEAL
q few days ago contained an article which
fully described the various processes which
these works would provide for. 1t is pro-
pssed to treat ores by tho teaching as we'll as
the smelling process. The editor OF the
Eureka Sentinel thinks that smelting works
~ill net pay in Nevada, although the editor
of the Sentinel smells the fumes of the
Eureka smelling furnaces every morning, and
in the prosperity of the city in which he lives
sees . practical illustration Of tho utility OF
such methods Of treating ore. The Sentinel,
however, thinks that ore mast run over $50 a
ton to be paying proposition. 1t may need
such ere in Eureka, where everything used
in reduction and smelling commands about
double what it costs in Carson. Ore assay
ing $50 ten would pay handsomely where
the csst of extracting the precious metal was
but so ton. There are several we'll defined
lodges in the mountains back of Carson which
run over hundred dollars ton. Mr.. Cor
bstt has . small bar of bullion extracted
twenty. two pounds of rock, taken out within
three miles of Carson, and its value is two
dollars and half. In assaying = piece of
rock by the usual methods the full value is
secured the smelling process amounts to the
same as assaying on large scale. The rock,
no matter how rebellious, succumbs to intense
heat, and the metal sinks to the bottom in
fused state. There are plenty of men in
Carson who insist tina; there is enough ore in
sight in Ormsby oounsy to keep the reduction
works running for Eve years, and the APPEAL
believes that there is enough capital in ormsby
county to erect the works, without calling
upon any other town in the State for single
dsllar.

TEE GERMAN METBsD.-Tne other day at
Frsiburg . 6rn of Wholesale wine dealers
we're charged with fabricating wine, and the
fact that tho members were rich and influen-
tial citizens did not save them as it would
here; neither did the fact that their adultera-
ten consisted only of such harmless sub
stances as rasins, water and blackberries.
They pretended to sell wine and they did not;
hence each of the prisoners was sentenced to
five months imprisonment and fine of 900
marks-sver $1,000. In America men who
adulteaate wine are received in the best So
eiety and considered honorable gentlemen.
Nearly everything that is sold in the United
States is either short in weight, deficient in
quantity or doctored and adulterated in some
way. The public have ceased to be able to
distinguish the false from the true, and the
rascals who perpetrate the fraud thrive and
fatten on their nefarious business

The first meeting Of the Colonial
Council for the present session was
held on Monday. Fourteen members
besides the Chairman were present.
The President of the Island was also
present. After some formal communica-
tionsfromthe Chairmant the Councilpro.
ceeded to elect as Chairman for the
Session, JUDGE RosENsTAND; as Vice
Chairman, JUDGE JURs; and as Secre-
tary, Mr.. l.. FABER.
The members to serve on the vari-
Gus communal commissions were next
elected.
The Chairman informed the Coun-
Gil hat the 3rd Member for Frederik-
sted's Country District, armstrong;
wished to resign, and the Council
agreed to accept Mr.. Armstrong;
resignation.
The Chairman hen placed before
the Council, for 1st Discussion, a
draft of Ordinance for St. Croix
concerning the delivery, in case of
emergency, of riding and draft
animals for the military force"
The draft imposes the duty Of pro-
viding the necessary animals, carts,
&c. The Governor or, in urgent
cases, the superior authority, decides
when this is necessary. The requisi-
tons are to go through the Police
Masters, but an officer out on duty
may also make the acquisitions. The
articles must be in serviceable condi-
ton. Omissions to comply &c. are
punished with fines Of from $50 to
800. Compensation is to be given
for use of the articles and for damage
done.
The President said: 1t would be
seen that the present draft provides
for extraordinary circumstances which
we all hope may occur. The
same results could be obtained by
first proclaiming the island in a state
of siege; but this was a step to be
avoided, and there might be other
/. less pressing circumstances where it
might become desirable to put the
military force in possession Of means
to repress a disturbance before it
assumed large proportions. Such was
the object of the draft. The Presi-
dent afterwards commented on the
separate clauses. ~ ),
Nh. Brown had no objection to vote
for the draft as a whole, but would
suggest that the fines of 4 were too
high.
1.-THE Chairman said that 81
.milar acquisitions to those here
treated Of had been made in 1878
under a state of siege. From
, 1880-05-05

connection with the West India Mill
tary Bill now before the Rigsdag. 1t
will be remembered that such a pro-
vision is made in that Bill in general
terms "',under such rules as shall be
prescribed by ordinance" This then
is the ordinance spoken of. .Hewould
not advise members, from the fact Of
this draft being now brought forward,
to draw any inference as to the fate
of the larger measure in the Rigsdag.
In regard to this draft he would only
remark that where the English text
has Gin case Of emergency" the Danish
says "under extraordinary circumstan-
ces." This latter phrase might be much
more widely interpreted, might apply
to extra drill SC. and he would per-
haps make the clearer definition of it
a matter for an amendment at the End
reading. In reference to Mr.. Browns
remark, it seemed to him that the
fines were not too high for cases of
decided refusal to assist, which, con-
sidering the damage that might, be
done, would amount indeed to a crime
deserving more severe punishment.
Oh. KaImer would ask whether if this
draft were adopted here it would stand
or fall along with the military law.
The ChaiYna n, as a matter of per-
sonal opinion only, thought that if the
Military Bill failed to become law, then
the Royal assent would be withheld
from this measure, which would o n
sequently fall through.
Nh. Latimey thought that every
body with anything to lose would see
that this draft was necessary. He
would ask why the arbitrators in case
'of dispute about compensation should
be always appointed by the Town
Court Of ChyiStianstcd only.
The Chairman explained that it was
because the Government, who is sup
posed to have done the damage, has
its seat in Christiansted. At the same
time the clause could no doubt be
altered by an amendment if the
Council wished it.
The Council afterwards proceeded
to the 1st discussion of the Budget
for 1880-S1.
The President after making two cor
r%ections of the Budget and pointingout
that the items were mostly as usual,
said chat there was one item which he
would especially refer to. on account
of its referring to a matter Intimately
connected with the whole unsatisfac-
tory state of the island, he meant the
Guarantee to the Central Factory.
The Budget showed an estimated ex-
penditure of S239,000. If we deduct
the Factory Guarantee of $45, 900,
there still remains an expenditure of
$4,000 against an estimated in
come of $50, 600. This was so seri-
Gus a state of things that people may
we'll ask what is to be the end of it
He could as little answer the question
as any one else; but there arises
another question. Have people here
realized the serious position of affairs ?
