From the Indianapolis Journal.
The sudden manner in which Dr.. Schlienann
fell in love with his second wife recalls the story
Of Henry Fawcett, Englands blind postmaster
general. He had been talking at public meet

ceived and announced.
Thereupon Miss Garrett (afterward Mrs. Fsw-
cett), much moved, exclaimed:
Better every crowned bead in Europe had
fallen than the world deprived Of that ono
man."
Mr.. Fsvcstt thought at once:
''Those are my principles, and that II the
woman would ike for companion through

Their marriage soon followed.

that have expressed tbomselyee so
far, favor the change and We be-
licye it is only question Of time.
till the Legislature Will take up tho
matter and so amend the law. We
think it would be good thing
and better in the long ran FOR all
concerned. 1t would save the pol
iticians lots Of lying and figuring
about the fees and pay Of the diiTcr-
ent officers and prevent SO much
misrepresentation about it during
the campaigns. The matter of adj
justing the salaries in different
counties would he one 10 be care
fully considered About the only
way of regulating it would be in
proportion to t he popul ati on.
This would not be correct appor-
tionmcnt for the work done in all
cases, but is about the only critic
rion. The Office Of County Treas
urer would have to be established,
as they have in several other states.
and all fees paid over to him. 1t
would relieve the Clerks Of much
labor and loss. AS it is there is
great deal Of work they are com
PEELED to do and never able to col

paid q fixed salary, every candi
date would know just what he WA

speculation about the salary of the
position. The people would know
what the Office paid and the politi
clan could not go out and lie about
it to the voter. II would save hard
feeling on the part Of people WHO
sometimes think they are over
charged { and perhaps are by tn
officers extortioning upon them
1t would prevent any crookednes
in the matter like that recently DE-
veloped In the office Of the clerk OF

believe it would have a tendenc
to curtml lItagation in many petit,
cases and relieve the crowded dock

have tried it and are satisfied will
the result and Why can't We profit b
