received here to-day that Edward Nc

Moonshiners," has been captured on

the shade by the cases being filed for
the forthcoming April term. Senator
Edwards was thus not at all beyond the
worthy of his hire" From the salaries
paid to similar judges in other States
the state of Minnesota has hitherto
been paying very moderate sum, as
will be seen: California, $4,000; Col
Orado, 5000: Connecticut $500; Indi-
ana, $1,000; Massachusetts, $500;
Michigan, $1,000; Nevada, $1,000 for

Legislation is proposed relative to the
st. Paul water board. 1t is suggested
that the appointment of members of this
board should be vested in the district
Judges or the mayor. 1t is desired that
this board should be kept outof poll

Officials of Redwood and Brown coun-
ties have formed strong lobby against
Senator Halls tax assessment bill. The
bill proposes that where real estate
property has been omitted from the as
SesSment list county auditors can only
assess the property six years. including
the current year the omission is dis
covered. If that bill passes it would
mean loss of $4,000 to Brown county,
and S17,0L0 to Redwood county. These
two counties have recently secured
judgments against the Winona d st.
Peter Land company for $4,000 in the
case of Brown county, and $4,000 in
the case of Redwood county, as assess
ment upon real estate sold to the land
company by the WinOna d st. Peter
Railroad company. Under this bill they
could only secure the delinquent taxes
for six years back, and against such a
proposal they are naturally making a
vigorous kick.

How Their Staff of Employees
Has Grown in Eight
Years.
Supreme Court Salaries Com
pared With Those Of Minop
Officials,
And With What the Judges
Receive in States More
Generous.

Some lively talk is anticipated in the
senate Tuesday, when, If Senator Hal
Vorsen continues in his present state OF
mind, the report of the clerkship COM
mittee will be made. A list OF officials
and employees of the senate within the
past ten years discloses the following
facts:
188I...............16 1ss?. ...............38oo
1855 ............ ooS.' --...' Az
1885 $50. ..........19l
1t will be seen that the number has
more than doubled during these years.
If these officials are requisite, it is only
proper that the state should bear this
expense. even if they numbered 100:
but when there is practically no need
for the existence of one-third of the en-
plOyes-aever was and never will-the
only thing to be wondered at is the IA
pacity OF some Legislators i'll making the
appointments.
Some arguments will cut two ways,
and such one was that used by Sena-
tor Ives, speaking in support of the bill
raising the salary of Judges of supreme
court to s., LOCO per annum. He said they
should have their salary Increased from
$1,000 to the sum named because ''It
cost so much Ii ore to live in great
city" Upon this assumption the fol-
lowing state officials should apply for
an increase:
Attorney general, receiving ..........S3.500
Secretary of state, receiving .......... 3. 100
State treasurer. receiving ..... ........ $500
State auditor, receiving ................ 5000
Public examiner, receiving .......... 5000
Railroad commissioner receiving. 5000
All these officials live in the city of
st. Paul, as much as do the judges of
the supreme court, and should come in
for share of the spoils in the gift of
Cbliging legislators.
Five thousand dollars per annum is
not an exorbitant salary for the judges
of the supreme court. especially when
the great growth of the business in the
appellate court of this state is consjd
cred. This growth may be sufficiently
guaged from the following figures:

antiquity of Gold.

Gold Is first mentioned in the eleventh
verse of the second chapter of Genesis,
4004 years before Christ. 1t is men-
toned as one of the elements Of Abrams
riches in Genesis, thirteenth chapter,
second verse, 1918 years before Christ.
The Egyptians used gold as money at a
very early but unknown period, bat
first in the form of rings, which opened
and could be strung together. 1t Is
probable that gold was used as money
at the time Abraham bought the field
of Macpelah, though he paid for that

That was 1875 years before Chist. This
probably is increased by the fact above
stated that gold was reckoned as a part
of the riches of Abram- According TO
Herodotus, the invention of the coiH-
age of gold belongs to Lydia, about
750 years before Christ High authority
says that gold was first coined In the

THE LEAD NICKEL.
The Part it Played in a Closely Com
tested Campaign.

Every body who has lived in the
South must have observed that one Of
the most remarkable features of the
DEVELOPMENT OF the African race since
emancipation Is the facility with
which they have dropped into politics.
Not only do such representatives OF
the colored race as Fred Douglass and
Others understand how to press their
claims, but the most ignorant darkey
can develop a keenness at a political
bargain that disgustS the average
white candidate in search OF votes.
Uncle Moss, who is president OF the
Rising Sons of Liberty Lodge No.
S. 974, and who also whitewashes fences
and chops wood during the season of
political inactivity, took a mean ad-
vantage in the recent election of too
credulous candidate.
He dropped into the office OF prom
lneat candidate and was cordially
welcomed. The Rising Sons of Lib
erty poll fifty votes, are well disci-
pinned and thoroughly organized. They
vote solid when they do vote, and they
vote as often as any other organization

they can with safety; hence there was

On this particular night We had re-

been asleep when we were awakened
