4 bill that provides for an increase in
the salaries Of Federal judges came mp in
I the Senate yesterday for consideration.
The Federal Judges are much better paid
than State judges, although, as a rule,
they have not so much to do and have life
positions. Nevertheless, the salaries CT
Federal judges are not sufficiently large
20 induce the ablsst lawyers TO seek judi
ciSl positions OF course the position of
Justice OF the supreme Court must be ex-
cepted. The salary Of that position is
good, and ;ae honor is regarded as more
desirable than the salary.
Whatever Congress may do with the bill
to increase the salaries OF Federal judges
there can be no doubt that. in many Of the
states, the salaries of the judges should
be doubled. The pay Of Circuit judges in
this State, for instance, is not as much as
that Of many clerks in cotton houses or
banks, and the salary Of supreme Court
Judge is hardly equal to that of the aver
age bank cashier.
As rule the Judges in this state are
able and pure men, and it is a wonder
that so many OF them are so well-ftted for
their positions. Good lawyers can make
a great deal more money practicing their
profession, and unless they have a very
strong liking for the bench, or hope to
make the position Of Judge contribute to
their political advancement, or'have some
other equally good reason, they will not
give up a good income from their practice
TO accept iudgeship with small salary
and great deal of hard work.
The salaries OF Judges are not much
better than they were halfa century ago,
when the average income Of good lawyers
was about one-fourth Of what it is now.
The responsibilities and duties Of Judges
are increasing all the time. Cases in
volving great interests are very common
nowadays, although there are men living
who can remember when the number of
such cases was very small.
The time is not distant unless sala-
ries are increased when the Judges
viii be men who are conscious of their
inability to make living at the bar, or
who cannot be trusted. Those of the
first class will be we'll paid at any price,
and those of the second class will be GER
tain to make handsome income traficing
in decisions. In order to obtain able and
honest Judges salaries sufficient to in
duce the best lawyers to abandon the bar
for the bench must be paid.

All Twisted Up, But Unravels.

ten notice, posted on a board. and everybody
stopped to read it. 1t was notice of sheriff's
sale. and the col0red man who tackled it up
was stIll on the ground. The notice was badly
written and worse spelled, and the drummer
laughed loud and long over car for calf,
'det' for debt, and ''sheruf" for sheriff

The drummer was advised against resist

taken before cOlOred jus ice, nearly two
miles from the spot. The constable had
picked up a cOlored man on the way. who
made and swore to complaint, and the
drummer was duly arraigned on the charge,
although his honor seemed very uneasy about
it. The olonel acted Is counsel for the pris-

she finds no end of work in combating in him
the skeptical tendencies of the age, which, she

The other day Harry came in with a tale
that his Aunt Mary had sent down word for

He went. Toward night his aunt brought

invented the whole story.
1t was grave crisis in the boys career, the
grandmother felt. She took him aside ami

never forget" said she, 'that the Bible tells

senator Hampton is not giveut 70 Joking.
1t is probable, therefore, that he expects
to urge the passage of the bill, which he
introduced yesterday. making it unlawful
for Senators or Representatives to recon-
mend applicants for office, or TO solicit
their appointment.

! tremely satisfactory TO those members of

they render. 1t is certainly very undigni-
fed business for q Senator or a Represen-
tative to go to the President, or the heads

friends, or those who have claims of a
political character upon him. 1t is not
an unusual thing al Washington 10 see

this or that constituent, asking them TO
assist Mr.. So and so in his efforts to get
an office, and being DESTROYS OF obliging
their constituent the request is complied
with.
A good many OF those recommended in
this fashion do not prove to be all they
were represented, and the Congressman
who recommended them is blamed.
Congressman ougnt to vote for Senator
Hampton's bill. BY passing it they will
save themselves from much annoyance
without losing much if any of their in
huence. Doubtless the Senator was
moved to introduce the bill by the trouble
ne has had with those from his own State
who wanted offices.
1t is right and proper that Congressman
should give advice with respect to APP
pointments when asked, but 1t is doubtful
if the public good is advanced by the
efforts which are made by Congressman
to control appointments.
Senator Hampton is well fitted to take
the step he has. He is very popular in his
state, and can stay in the Senate during
life. He has no fear of the small poll
ticians, because he is in no way dependent
upon them. If ne succeeds in getting his
bill through he will have the satisfaction
of having done something to place his
brother Congressman under obligations to

The Hoar Succession Bill.


1t is probable that the Hoar Presiden-
tial succession bill will meet with greater
opposition in the House than it did in the
Senate. There appears TO be considerable
objection among Representatives to that
clause Of it which repeats the law which
provides for a special election for Presl-
dent. If the bill should become a law,
and vacancy should occur in the offices
OF President and Vice President, there
would be no election for these officers I'M
til the regular election. The officer who
would succeed to the office of President
would hold it for the remainder of the
term, even though it should be more than
three years.
Senator Edmunds commented upon this
feature OF the bill at considerable length,
and opposed the bill mainly on account of
it. He preferred a constitutional amend
ment giving the House of Representatives
authority to elect President in case the
necessity for such an election should
arise.
There Is no want of suggestions as to
the kind Of legislation that would answer
the purpose aimed at, but, unfortunately,
to all the suggestions there are objections
more or less weighty. A constitutional
amendment authorizing the presidential
electors who last served to meet and
select a successor would insure two
things. 1t would insure, first, a Presi-
dent OF the same party as the President
originally chosen; and, second, the wishes
Of the people would in all probability be
more nearly complied with than in any
other way. The electors of each State
could supply the place OF any elector re-
moved by death, or detained by sickness
or other cause, in the same manner that
such vacancies are now authorized to be
filled.
A great objection to the Hoar bill is
that the successor, in case of a vacancy,
might be obnoxious not only to the people
generally, but very unpopular with his
party. A condition OF affairs like that
might be productive of complications, and
| even serious trouble.
