Michigan pays 81, 500.

None so small "a Michigan. The above
statements show what the people of other
States, and the members of their legislatures,
and nearly half of the voters of this State
have thought.
Our State officers can attend to other bus
mess. They have secretaries and assistants
that draw considerable salaries and attend to
the business of the Office, and in that way
can get along The judge has no fees or
perquisites, and he is prohibited by law from
holding any other Office and from practicing
his profession. The time he is not engaged
with the court business is of little avail to
MIN, except as II is used in study, and If SD
used, the public receives benefit.
Now note the necessary yearly expenses Of
the circuit Judge Every Judge should have
a large library. and, if able, will have at least
$1,000 invested in it, and the public will have
the benefit of it. Interest on this will be-
S16O; depreciation on it each year will be-
$50; he should purchase law journals and
books amounting to 800; he will have ho-
tel and travelling expenses. varying according
to his circuit, of course, but averaging in the
State, $500: he will require for clothing, at
least Sl50; he will have house rent, or its
equivalent, $50: he will have livery hire, or
the expense of horse and buggy, in this cir
cult, sos besides the expense of his home
and family. If he has q home, entertains
his friends and goes into society, as the pub
lie expect him to do, pays physicians and
druggists bills, schools his children and pro
vides for his family, he cannot do so on his
salary. Any man fit for a Judge has ambi-
/ tion enough to desire something more than
enough to make ends meet, and he has abil-
| ity enough to earn more, and If ne finds he
does not receive it on the bench, he will nat
urally seek it in some other direction, and in
whatever way he does this, the public inter-
ests suffer The lawyer that can command
from $1,000 to $1,000 in his practice, will
not long be contented with 1900 after he
finds out the expenses of the Office, and the
labor to be performed. Investigate the mat
ter ard see what the facts show, and YOU will
vote for the amendment, and have your
friends do so.

Salaries of Circuit Judges.

One of the leading lawyers of the State
has set forth the following, as some of the
reasons for the adoption of the amendment
to the constitution relative to judges salaries;
1t is your interest and that of the public
to do so. We can have better judges, as
rule, if the amendment is adopted better
lawyers will go on the bench, and good judges
will remain and not be seeking other places,
or resign and return to practice. Inexper-
fenced lawyers, physicians, mechanics or
farmers, are not the most successful. The
same is true of Judges. The interests of the
public are best subserved by having business
promptly and correctly done. Experienced
judges are more likely TO dispatch business,
and less likely to have cases reversed and sent
back for new trials. They command more
| respect, and the people have more confidence
in their courts and abide by their decisions,
and do not appeal so often from them, and
the expense and delay of appeal do not SD
often occur. 1t costs about S65.00 day To
run court with jury. Two days saved each
term will save more than the additional sal
airy will amount to. Cases sent back for q
new trial. cost the county from 800 10 $500
extra. besides extra expense TO the parties I'd
the suit. Every delay in the transaction OF
business costs something.
Every time new judge Is appointed or
elected, 1t costs the county many dollars, and
causes additional expense and delay TO all
concerned. There must be frequent ex
changes and adjournments, for some time, IN
order TO dispose of business which the Judge,
| Just taken out of practice, cannot try. In
the last nine years there have been twenty
| five designations of judges in this State
only four have served full term; eighteen
| have been on the bench less than year and
within the last two years, forty-four different
! judges have presided over the circuit courts
of Michigan. The same thing is likely to
continue if the salary is not raised.
The county pays the extra expenses of
courts by direct tax the State pays the sal
aries of the judges.
The equalized assessed valuation of the
! state in 1881, was S810,000.O0O; 1-27 of a
mill direct tax would raise more than will be
required. SHch n tdr lcOuld cost each man
! lcd0 pays tor on $1,000, ojout three cents; /;
on $500. one cent bit tie money Of the State
| Is not all rriSe1 IN that tcoy. and az NIL AOt
cost anything cttrd iB the end.
1t is the people who understand the ques-
ton who want this change. The Legislature
of the State, before which the subject has
been discussed and the facts made known,
has recognized the importance to the public
OF this matter and submitted an amendment
three times. 1t has only been defeated be-
cause so many voters did not know the facts
and thought it would greatly increase taxes
yet it only failed the last time by about 600
votes. The salary is not enough.

Capt. James j. Kelly had trial the other
day, before Justice Galligan. He was charged
with swinging his sword over the head of
his son in a rude and revengeful manner. b.
F. Heckert, Esq, appeared for the defense.
He pictured the Capt. as q brave soldier, a
loving husband, kind parent and an open
hearted christian gentleman, which caused
great tears to trickle down the Captains fur
rowed cheeks, and he cried as though his
heart would break. Ben's eloquence, and
the Captains tears and sobs, so melted the
hearts of the jury, that they told him to go
and sin no more.

TIE bindings oi books III galleries
perish fir, III beat, aid the higher the
10 hs are above the floor the more ac-
tive is this destructive agency. Leather
is an animal tissue, and will not, like
linen, cotton, pa er and other vegetable
substances, su tain without injury a
higher temperature than we find agreea-
be to live in. Books cannot live where
men cannot live. They are more nearly
allied to us as congeners than we are
wont to suppose. In excessive heat the
leather Of bin lings slowly consumes and
its life departs. The sulphurous re-
sidinm of gas combustion is also said to
be injurious to bindings. Books should,
therefore, be shelyed in the coolest par
of the room, and where the air is never
likely to be overheated, which is near
the floor, where we ourselves live and
move. In the private libraries OF our
residences mistake is often made In
carrying the shelving of our bookcases
SO high that they enter the upper and
overheated stratum of air. Ii any one
be skeptical on this point, let him test,
by means of step-ladder, the condition
of the air near the ceiling of his common
sitting room on winter evening, when
the gas is burning freely. The heat IL
simply insuferable.

CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE com
mittee on civil service was authorized
to send for persons and papers, upon
q statement by Senator Hawley that
the committee desired that authority,
so as to enable them to pay mileage
of several gentlemen whose presence
they desired.
At 1850 the privileged order of
business was resumed under the An>
thony rule, until 1890.
Senator Edmunds moved the sns-
pension of all standing orders, to
take up the anti polygamy bill, other
propositions having used up the
morning hour, but it was voted down,
2l to 90
Upon expiration of the morning
hour the pension arrears resolution
came up as unfinished business.
Senator Edmunds again moved to
proceed with the anti polygamy bill,
but said he would not ask vote on
the motion until several Senators,
who had given notice of set speeches
on other subjects to-day, had been
heard.
By unanimous consent, unfinished
business was then informally laid
aside, and Senator Slater spoke upo1
the Importance to the commerce O
the Northwest of the improvement
of Columbia River.
Senator Vance then took the hool
for speech on the tariff. He de
plored the burdens of the high pro
lection policy, which fell with tn.

did more to retard the growth and
impair the wealth of the South thar

one section of the country to Absorb

The Tomb of Juliet.

w. A. Croffut writes the following
amusing description of visit to the
tomb OF Juliet, or the supposed Juliet,
at Verona: We had local guide who
spoke pure Veronese, and at given sig
nal he started us of. Up the street we
went; up another street, then down a
street about half mile, when we turned
into gate by buttonbau tree. We
were In what had apparently once been
garden. Indeed, there were even now
pumpkins and weeds growing in it, and
row of evergreen box struggled for
life, and a broken-down grape arbor
overshadowed the fence. We struggled
along, climbed over pile of boards,
broke down some spider webs that
crossed the path, descended some steps,
came to heap of manure and went
around it, passed the back door of
cocoon hstchery, which smelt like Con-
stantinople, and then the guide came
back and calmly remarked that we were
on the wrong road. We went back
few rods, turned into little dirtier
path, entered at a broken gate and were
led to spot under barn, where stood
"the tomb of Juliet"
It was of red Verona marble, about
six feet long, three feet high, and three
feet wide, and was followed out from
above like large basin. Through either
end and both sides, at the bottom, were
oriices about two inches in diameter.
Upon the sides and ends of the red
trough were piled thousands of visiting
cards-some fresh and white, some
brown with age.
"Zees, said the guide, "ess ze tomba
of Senorita Giulietta. ices holess," he
continued, poking his cane into the ori-
fees in the side already referred to,
"ess where Giulietta she stick her arm
out"
"Sayl" said the man from Little
Rock, "where is she now? Where's
her bones :? What have they done with
emp"
"Ze bones he lie in re groun' under
beneathy," said the guide, in muffied
voice, full of sorrow, as he raped gently
on the ground; cor mebby re Mon
tagues take her bone away-ahl"
"What made them make her tomb
look exactly like bath-tub ?" asked
the lady from West Virginia, in a pa
thetic manner.
"Ze bas tub ?" said the guide, gloom
lily.
"Why, yes !" exclaimed three or four
of the party, " exactly like one-don't
you see-just deep enough-holes for
water to run out-bet twas bath-tub. "
"Was Juliet hard-shell Baptist "
struck in the tall lady from Charleston,
n. 81.
'Ah, madam |" sighed the guide, his
voice full of tears 81 cannot deceive a
you Zis tomb-a was never re bas-tub,
but it may be re grand fountain where
re Rome Emperor water re horse"
Watering trough, by thunder said
the gentleman from Hartford.
"Zey have no ozzer tomba for poor
Giulietta, said the guide; $50 zay use
him."

SEVERAL journals, notably the Buf-
falo Courier, have recently called to
Mr.. Tilden's notice the example of
Henry Dandola, who, in his 85th
year, led the naval forces of the Ven
etians against Constanstinople. This
is done to encourage him to bring
''the barl" and obtain the nomina-
ton in 1884.
Mr.. Tilden needed no such re
minder. The example must have
been before him when he assumed
Democratic leadership in 1876.
Dandola, although with his own
hands he had placed the lion of Ven
ice on the walls of Constantinople,
died two years later. Mr.. Tilden,
though he vainly held up the Demo
cratic party in the hope of victory in
1876, died politically at that time.
There will be no resurrection for him
in 1884.

A False Report Corrected.

New ORLEANS. LA, February 13.-
Governor Millinery to-day sent the
following:
NEW ORLEANS, La, February 13-
To Hon. G. n. Blanchard, Washing~
ton: Just prior to the report of
destitution in North Louisiana, had
visited that section, and never heard
anything of it. After publishing the
report, which caused much excite
ment here, l telegraphed to every
central point, and received replies
fatty denying that there existed any
want or destitution beyond the
power of the local authorities to pro-
vide for. In some instances the an,
swers were indignant protests.
There is no want or destitution now,
nor is there any likely to occur,
which cannot be provided for by the
State and local authorities.
