In this connection it must be remenl-
bered that but one term Of court was
held in Taos county in the LIST district,
and that in the other districts fees for
terms in Socorro, Grant and San Miguel
counties are not included, as these figures
are taken from the auditors report, dated
De, ember Is. 1883.
In addition to the fees from the terri
tory there must be added fees from the
United States and litigants, which &C.
cording to the best information to be OBJ
tained will much more than double the
amounts above given.
There is surely no further argument
needed than the figures and facts given
above. However, the New MEXICAN de.
sires to be fair all around and will fully
express its opinion. Mr.. Perea's bill
fixing the compensation of clerks ought
to be amended so as to allow net com.
pensation OF $4,000 per year to the clerks
and deputy clerk at 200 per year in
the LIST, I'd and Sd districts, and two depu.
ties, one at 1900 and one at 1000 a
year IN the 4th district. This, with the
fees from United States cases, would
make the clerkships right comfortable
berths.
Such bill would be fair all around,
Very competent men would be secured
for the cerkships, fair and good salaries
would be paid, sufficient clerical aid would
be allowed the clerks, and great and
beneficial saving would accrue to the ter.
ritorial treasury and the tax payers.
Gentlemen of the 2Sth legislative as
sembly, the matter rests with YOU.

THE CLERKS FEES AGAIN.

The Las Vegas Optic comes out with
what it evidently considers very strong
defense for the very exorbitant and ex-
travagant fee system now existing in the
matter of compensation of court officials.
Among other things it says:
The Optic understands that the talk in
the legislature favors a salary OF $500
DER wear for district clerks. ANY one who
knows anything about the office at all,
knows that such salary is riditulously
absurd. 1t is, in the first place, the most
important office in the territory. To I'LL
it properly requires man of ample abili-
tv and large legal attainnents. ANY man
who is qualified for the place can easily
make more than the proposed salary IN
the practice of his profession. Then, too,
in the 4th judicial district, and we sup
pose it is true in the others, the business
OF the Office can not he well carried on
without two competent deputy clerks.
,iood salaries must be paid in order to
secure competent men for the places.
Besides these facts, the district is an i'm
mense one, and courts are held from two
to six weeks at time. The clerk and
one deputy must 90 to the distant courts,
spend great deal of money in travelling
to and from the county seats, and be at
very considerable expense for accommo-
dations while attending upon court SEES
sions at distance.
This is simply ridiculous. In fact it is
very laughable. Just imagine, gentlemen
of the bar, for instance, that the clerk OF
the 4th judicial district, but recently adj
mitted to the bar, could make over $4,000
year out of the practice OF the law, or in
fact any of the other clerks. There is nc
argument needed here.
1t is not at all necessary that the clerk
and deputy should attend the court
Either one is usually ample. But Of
course, when, as in the 4th Judicial dis
trict, the court officials desire to dos little
private specializing in warrants, the pres
ence OF the clerk is necessary. (?)
There are not dozen lawyers in New
Mexico who clear $1,000 year, ane
when it is proposed to give clerk OF
court salary Of $4,000 from the territory
with fees amounting to from $1,000 t.
~, 800 from the United States, then, O
course, it is not enough.
Talk about the great expense incurred
in travelling. Any one acquainted with TIM
inside OF that must simply smile.
1t is about time also that everybody
knew that Messrs. Bunker, Force, Rile.
and Jobblin hold more important office
than the governor, surveyor general
Judges of the supreme court, the secretar.
of the territory, the United States attor
ney and the land officers. Yes, 1t i
about time, and high time at that. No
one of these latteF. fie United States at
torney, andhis pay amounts to $500.
The New MEXICAN will simply agar
give the official figures OF fees received b,
the clerks in 1887 and 1888, from the ter
rtory alone:

vote as polled November 9Th. The table
given in the Sentinel last week as official
was incorrect as there were eleven distinct
errors in 1t; and the majority was not 1916
as therein announced but 1884 loss OF
76 over two years ago. BY comparison
with the vote of 1887 it will be observed
that gains were made in the townships OF
Benton, Franklin, jackson, Madison, Main
and Roaringcreek. The greatest gain was
in Benton, where there was net gain OF
80 over two years ago, The greatest loss
was in Greenwood where democratic ma

a republican majority of II this year. The
