sAiees With Big Pay and Little Work.

There are = few very handsome posi-
tions, with still hsndsomer salaries at
tached, in the Court Of Alabama Claims,
which seem to have escaped the notice
Of place-hunters until within day or
two. One of these is counsel to the
court, which is held by Hon. John A.
J. Cresuell, who is also president of
the Citizens National Bank, of WASH
iDgton. The salary is $4,000. Walker
Blaine is assistant counsel, and his
salary is $500. There is also a dis
bursting officer, who draws $4,000 for
paying twenty-one people their salaries
at stated periods, and as the court
always takes a vacation Of two or three
months during the summer and an oc-
casional week at other seasons, his du-
ties are not really oppressive. A few
entsrprising residents Of the District
have recently begun to move in the di-
rection Of these places, and their forces
are liable to increase at any moment.

The old synagogue Of the Spanish
ard Portuguese Hebrews in Bevis
Marks, London, is being torn down.
In the smoke-dried lists of those who
have served in the Office of Parnassim,
painted on the panels in the gloomy
corridors Of the westinghouse, there is
to be seen the name Of Benz amin
Disrasli, or rather D'Israeli," with
the date 5j77, corresponding with the
year 1877 Of the Christian era. He is
believed to have been tho grandfather
of Lord BeacOnsfeld. The synagogue
is square red brick building, with
outer doors and internal panels Of oak
in the massive style of the period Q70D
when it was rebuilt. 1t occupies con-
siderable space in the midst of square
paved court, and is surrounded by He
brew schools and Fairgrounds, free
lodgings for Hebrew poor, and houses
for the officers attached to the syna-
gogue. OF late years the attendance
hes dwindled considerably. The site,
which is freehold, is now Of great value,
and it is proposed to devote tho pro-
ceeds Of tho sale, with other moneys,
to the erection Of two new synsgogues
with schools, one at the East End, and
another in the neighborhood Of Bryan
ston Square.

REFORuIYG PIETY M4CHINERK.

a few months ago some OF the earnest Re
publcans of Erie County appointed committee
to formulate plan for the equalization OF the
representation in their county conventions ana
{ - the improvement of convention and caucus
methods. 1t was a praiseyorthy attempt at
reform from the inside" aud Judging from the
report Ct tic committee is likely to prove a
marked success. Under the present system oi
representation the towns outside OF buffalo
have scventy-fve representatives, for 1881
Republican votes cast in 1891, while the city
has only thirty-ninc representatives, Tor 1871
Republican votes cast in the same year. The
report provides for the correction OF this mani
fest injustice by adopting plan which gives
the towns of the county iifty-ninc and Buffalo
I21 delegates in the county convention.
With view of rendering the primaries more
fair and therefore more generally popular with
Republicans, the report provides that all
caucuses throughout the county for the purpose
of selecting delegates to the leading conven-
tons shall be held at the same day and hour,
the polls to be kept open from to ) O'Clock
p. Ill., and The voting to be by poll list. Still an
other section of the report provides that I'D all
conventions nominations be made by viva
vocc vote.
The report was adopted by the organization
10 which 1t was submitted, the Union Veteran
Legion, but before it can become operative
must be ratified by the county committee. The
reform in party machinery which resulted in
substantial enlargement of the State Convcn-
ton has naturally served to direct the attention
