County Official Paper.
Worthy of His Hire.

1.-THE Times Review does not endorse
the suggestion OF the Grand Jury that
$50 per month is sufficient for the
Courthouse Janitor, including the
wood saving and other outside work
connected with the institution. The
Janitor has to board himself, and the
present salary, go per month, is not
more than enough to unable work
ingman to live in comfort and re-
spectability. 1t is in fact less than
ordinary laborers' wages, and the
Commissioners would not, in our
opinion, gain any credit for them
selves from the people Of the county,
by reducing the pay to something less
than Chinese wages. The laborer is
worthy of his hire, and the county
government should be the last to en-
courage Introduction of workingmen's
pay below a reasonable standard, and
we hope the recommendation Of the
Grand Jury will not be adopted. If
the present Jauitor is inefficient, he
should be removed, but his successor
should not be employed at less than
the present salary rate"
We heartily endorse the above from
the Times-Review, as the present
salary paid the Janitor is less, perhaps,
in proportion to the labor performed,
than is paid any other county officer.
The suggestion of the Grand Jury
reminds us Of a county officer a few
years ago who, while drawing salary
from the county Of several hundred
dollars month, said that school
teachers were getting too much wages
for the work done. 1t might be
policy to increase the salary of the
Janitor to $75 month during No
vember, December, January and
February and, with that salary, to re-
quire him to cut the wood required
for the Jail and Courthouse.

The cook in certain residence. Bridget

the matter.
Sometime afterward. however. the

The milk boiled over, and so did the
enumerator. He gave up his inquiries
about Bridget's inhrnity and was out

be answered what bust ness is it of Su-
