The Salaries Of Judges.

A bill has been introduced in the
Senate to increase the salaries of the
judges of the Supreme Court. 1t is
just measure, and has been too long
delayed. In the early days, when the
country was new and the people poor,
the salaries of public offices were put
at low figures. These salaries have
been gradually raised with the change
of times and increased expense of
living, but the increase of the pay of
judges in Vermont has not kept pace
with that of other State officers, or of
the pay of judges in most of the other
States. The salary of our judges is
about two thousand dollars less than
the average in the States as whole.
The office requires not only the best
lawyership, but a combination of
other high qualities. 1t will be econ
omy to pay salary that will cali to
the bench and retain upon it the ablest
and best men in the legal profession.
1t is rare thing to find an individual
who does not admit that we ought to
pay the judges better. The express
sion is often heard that the present
salary is a disgrace to our State.
Their labors are constant and hard,
and their duties are of the highest
order and call them from home very
much of the time. Unless they have
means when they go upon the bench,
they can look forward to an old age
of dependence with the present salary.
Not a small, but a substantial in
crease would receive a very general
1t would be just measure
and operate to the credit and advan-
tage of the State in the long run.
The salary of the judges of our high
est court certainly should not be less,
many think it should be more, than
that of the United States district judge
of Vermont, which is $500 per year.
1t is the wisest policy for the people
to make the judges independent of
anxiety in regard to themselves and
their families. Their office deters
them from opportunities for personal
enterprise. Their entire time and
thought at the most useful period of
their lives is devoted to the State. 1t
is the duty and interest of the State
to make them moderately comfortable.
Nobody will ever feel poorer by so
much as ten cents for doing it, and
everybody will feel better about it
after it is done.-Rutland Herald.

If the election of a president i'll 1885
should be thrown into the house OF
representatives, the Democrats could
not elect their man. They have elected
majority in the delegations from only
sixteen states. In the election of a
president by the house the constitution
provides that each state shall cast a
single vote for the candidate who shall
be the choice of a majority of the rep
states, majority of the thirty-eight,
are required to elect a president. A
third party movement in 1888 might
defeat the Democratic party.-Sun.
