JunGES, SALARIES.

The passage of bill raising the sal
aries of United States district Judges is
an eminentiy proper act. In the appoint
ment Of a Judge man of exceptional
ability is required. and yet a generous
government has been in the habit of ex-
pecting such Il man to serve his country
on the bench for half as much as he
could earn in private practice.
The virtual sacrifice of some thousands
of dollars year in income which almost
every United States judge must make
in going on the bench is putting a pretty
high price on patriotism. Every one
conversant with the facts in the case
knows, for instance, that the judge in
the Minnesota district earns his $4,000 a
year twice over, and that an increase of
$500 a year in his pay is not only de-
served, but much below his deserts.
There are no more deserving public
officers than the judiciary, and none
whose arduouS duties should meet with
more liberal compensation. A COM
parison between the amount of work
annually performed by congressman
and a United States judge is alone
sufficient TO sustain the position.
The only objection to the new bill
is that it does not make a substantial
enough increase. In obtaining the best
possible material for the bench, money
should not be any object.

BROKERS ARE ANXIOUS.

Word comes from New York that the
stock brokers of that city are anxious
to the point Of desperation on account
of the scarcity of what they call Gus
toners, but what are really victims; for
every man who, as an amateur, engages
in stock gambling, loses in the end.
Only the professionals, as in every
gambling game, can count upon win
ming with regularity.
The country is to be congratulated
upon the brokers' anxiety. 1t indicates
a very healthy state of public senti-
ment. 1t demonstrates that men with
money are turning to far more sub
stantial avenues of profit than the New
York stock exchange. They have begun
to discover that the great West provides
opportunities for profitable investment
much superior to the most successful
gambling transactions.
In real estate, in railroad construc-
ton, in the erection of buildings for
rent and for sale, there is hardly
section of the West that does not
promise sure, ready and extremely
profitable returns upon money invested.
1t is in this direction that the stream of
i-.oney which formerly flowed into the

souELCHING SHERMAN.

JOE FORAKER, you are a real cute,
cunning little fellow to head off JOHN
SHERMAN's boom in that way. Every
body knows that you have been as mad
as a March hare because SHERMAN
wouldn't let you pose as the Ohio
''favorite son." and that you have had it
laid up for JOHNNIE all along. Now
you have him and will shut him out, be-
cause if there is any truth in certain
rumor everybody will know that you are
at the bottom of the scheme. The rumor
is that at a recent caucus Of leading
Ohio Republicans it was unanimously
decided to require JOHN SHERMAN to
put up his hotel bills in advance. If
anything can squelch SHERMAN's aspir-

FREE AID FOR THE GLOBE.
startling" Statements Evolved
by Republican Editor.

Between the lines of mass of poetry,
stale figures and big headlines, the
GLOBE defines its position as far as it
dareS. 1t takes column to show that
Ames is not strong candidate and can
not be elected, and tries to make it ap-
pear that there is the sweetest harmony
between Editor Baker and Kelly and
Doran. Anybody who has had the
pleasure of listening to the opinion of
Mr.. Doran and his friends, as expressed
toward the GLOBE, knows how much
harmony there is in that camp. Mr.
Doran and his adherentS are OutspOken
against the GLOBE and the ambition of
its editor to assume the leadership of
the party in this state. This assump-
tiOn has not only alienated the DOran
following, but such men as James J.
Hill, Hon. Edmund Rice, Judge Flan-
drau and other old wheelhorses who
have been fighting the Democratic
battles in this state for years
while the editor of the GLOBE
was running country newspaper
in Virginia. One of the most in
fluential Democrats in the state, speak
ing of the article in the GLOBE yester-
day, said: 81 don't want to get mixed
up publicly in this fight, but the course
of the GLOBE has been the cause of
much internal dissenSiOn in the party. [
think that Mr. Baker found that he was
making enemies and the article yester-
day was for the purpose of applying a
little salve to the sore spots. He made
the effort so apparent, however, that no
sensible man will be fooled by it. If
Mr.. Baker wants to do the party good,
let him attend strictly to his newspaper
and not try to do any boSSing. He may
know all about Virginia politics, but I
don't think he is quite up to the Mime
sofa standard yet" The effort of the
GLOBE to kill off Ames by showing that
he has no strength and its nomination of
Mr.. Doran for Mr.. Kelly'S place on the
national committee is regarded as
large-sized, sugar-cOated olive branch
to the LIE Sueur statesman. The result
of the secret meeting convinced MI.
Baker that there was no use in support
ing AmeS against the wishes of Mr..
Doran and his ally, Mr.. Kelly, and he
coolly proceeds to throw the doctor
overheard and make himself solid with
the bosses, who, he thinks, now have a
good show of running the deal to suit
themselves. Mr.. D0ran will hardly be
eager to accept this sort of peace offer
ing, and Ames-well, his sentiments, if
expressed, wouldn't look well in print.

Republican party has come to the crisis
of its history" and probably needs
solicitor in bankruptcy worse than it
does candidate for the presidency.
For while he is without any special
ability, ALLISON is regarded as fairly
honest sort of man, and would doubt
less make good receiver. He would
make an honest distribution of the Re-
publican assets, and that is more than
can be said of some of the other presi-
Dental candidates on that side of the
house.
1t is evident that the LARRABEE fac
tion are not enthused over the partial
ity manifested by the Iowa Republicans
for ALLISON. They see in it another
senatorial term for ALLISON, and that
is not in the line of LARRABEE's politl-
cal scheming. LARRABEE aSpireS to
be the leader of the new Republicanism
which is springing up in Iowa and other
Western states, as the outgrowth OF an
anti-m0nopOly sentiment. But the Old
leaders are determined to keepthe party
in line on the old policy. Their
aim is to force protection
plank into the Republican platform not
withstanding the protest of Western
Republicans against it, and ALLISoN's
candidacy is one of the many move
ments that are being made in this di-
rection.
Notwithstanding it's Republicanism,
Iowa is an protective state. Its In
terests require it to be so. The bulk OF
Iowa Republicans are in sympathy with
the Democratic doctrine of tariff re-
form, and if they only had the courage
to stand by their convictions would
vote for GROVER CLEVELAND in the
next presidential election. But the Re-
publican leaders are endeavoring to
hoodoo them into the belief that the ma
tional Republican party will yet be
tariff reform party. Of course the can
didacy of such milk and cider man as
ALLISON is intended as blind to keep
up this delusion and to keep down dis
content in the ranks.
The awakening will come after awhile,
and the farmers of Iowa will see wherein
they have been betrayed by false prom
