OLD BERKS AROUSED.

There is no general salary law for
counties in Pennsylvania, and out Of
this has grown one of the most heated
controversies that has occurred since
old Bcrks first went Democratic.
Bcrks has treasurer and county
commissioners. The treasurer has the
paving of the commissioners and the
commissioners regulate the clerical
force TO be employed in the county of
fees. The present treasurer is an ac.
complished gentleman, but does not
appear to be fond Of work. The com
missionerS, to The best Of our knowl-
edge and belief, are also accomplished
gentlemen. OF course both the treas
urcT and the commissioners are Demo
Gratis, and never before have the county
commissioners taken it into their heads
that little iunketing now and then is
10 be lclished by the most economical
Democrat.
But they have read about that chief
of economists, Mr.. Holman, taking Il
tcn-thousand mile trip at Government
expense, and think that with such u
shining example they are entitled to
travel around and investigate things
ard allow the country to foot the bills.
The treasurer has an idea, too, lie
thinks that the duties of his Office are
so onerous that he should be allowed q
clerk. lie wants clerk, and wants
him without personal dissenting vote.
But the commissioners say that he
shall have none, and now the treasurer
turns on the commissioners and says
that If he is not to have clerk they
shall have no money to pay for travel
ing around the country,
Thus the matter stands, with no
prospect of adjustment or compromise,
and Berks County has at last got some.

suggest the following as a vast improve
