FISHERIES TALK FOR THE FAITHFUL
Candidate Putnam on the Treaty
Before RockIand Democrats.
Somerset Democrats with Ideas on
Recent Tariff Legislation
which will Find Expression In Votes
for Harrison and Morton.
Especial to the Press. ]

RocKLAND, Aug. 10.-The Democrats op-
ened the ball today with the county conven-
tion winding up tonight with flag raising
and mass meeting. In the convention there
was bitter fight over sheriff, the leader Of
the defeated faction declaring war
up the polls. The rest Of the convention
was harmonious. This evening, Hon. VIII
liam L. Putnam, w. Il. Clifford, Esq. and
Charles E. Allen, candidate for representa-
tive In this district. addressed a thousand
people in Farewell Hall, generous sprink-
ling Of Republicans being present
Mr.. Putnam devoted his remarks to de-
fense of his delicate situation on the fishery
treaty. He said the fishery question was an
old issue, that the treaty was a victory for
American fishermen. that our fishermen had
all that they were entitled to and to force
more from Canada would be violation OF
the treaty. The administration was now
considering what was the best way 10 ame-
liorate the condition Of the fishermen. Our
fishermen should have what they are entit-
led to, but what they want and are not entit-
led to, let the United States bargain for.
Mr.. Putnam criticised statements by Sena-
tors Sherman and Evarts.
Mr.. Clifford devoted portion Of his speech
to Mr.. Reeds address at Alfred yesterday
and thus innocently gave Democratic au-
dience sample Of Reeds eloquence.

SUPREME COURT JUDGES.
The United States Judges Get So
900 Year, But Do Not Save Any
thing.
IN. Y. Graphic. ]


The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of
the United States receives 1O,500 per annum.
The eight Associate Justices receive $10,-
900 each. This is in full for services render
ed. They are the poorest paid of any Off
cials of the government, for out of their an
nual income they are compelled to pay all
travelling expenses. They have to go on an
extensive circuit every year, and pay not
only their fare, but all incidental expenses
in sustaining the dignity of their judicial po-
sition.
If Associate Justice Field was not inde-
pendent of his salary, it is said, he could
not actually afford to hold the position. The
expense of crossing and recrossing the Con-
{ nent with his family and the cost of travel
ling on his Pacific coast circuit reduces his
salary more than one half every year.
Justice Miller was figuring up short time
ago that If he had devoted the years he had
been on the bench to private practice he
would now be counted among the Million
aires in the law profession.
"rhe fact" said the Judge, ''that after de-
Quoting the expenses annually incurred in
travelling over my circuit, which embraces
the States of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri
Arkansas, Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado,
have just about enough left to pay the ex-
penses of living in Washington during the
sessions of the court 1t is one OF the ano-
males of Congressional legislation that the
Clerk of the Supreme Court annually makes
fully twice the amount of any member of the
court. Our position compels us to refuse all
courtesies from coporations, though it may
readily be inferred there would be no limit
if we would accept them.
