The gross inequalities that exist in the
matter of the salaries of public officers
in this state are forcibly illustrated by
the fact that a justice of the peace in
Portland legally makes more than JUS
tice of the supreme court in Salem, a
clerk of the court more than the two
judges, a recorder of conveyances more
than ten good book keepers could get in
business offices, and sheriff more than
all the others put together. But we
need not go away from home to find
proofs of the same inequalities. Here
it may be roughly said clerk draws
twice as much as circuit Judge, more
than five times more than than a county
judge, six times more than a school
superintendent, five or six times more
than an assessor, seven or eight times
more per day than a state senator or
representative; and yet all of these latter
officers need natural and acquired gifts
that may be wholly wanting in clerk.
It's pretty system, take it all round.

Silver is now cheaper than it
ever was in the history of the world and
this in spite of the fact that the Sher-
man law was intended to create a
market for all the silver produced in the
United States. 1t is absurd to say, as
some do whose theories on finance do not
square with this fact, that silver does
not decline in value; it is gold that has
increased. There is not a commodity In
the world that has not declined in value
in the last twenty years. New processes
of production and manufacture have
made silver cheaper, as they have every
thing else and the present price of silver
only proves that that commodity is
subject to the same law of supply and
demand that governs the price of every
thing.

There are on nearly every rail
road locomotives that are known as
Jonahs, said Henry E. Archer, who
has spent twenty years in the service
of the Illinois Central. Locomotive
engineers are not perhaps moro su-

have known more than one to throw
up his position rather than take out
an engine that was regarded as un-
lucky. Some years ago an engine
on an Illinois road blew up, cutting
the fireman's head of with seq
ment of boiler iron. The engine was
rebuilt and made as good as new, but
no engineer could be found to run it
more than one trip. 1t was soon
whispered about that it was haunted |;
that the headless fireman had an ,ln-
pleasant habit of appearing ON the
tender with pick and shovel and in
sisting on firing up.
"One night an engineer and his
fireman deserted the locomotive
while out on run, and the conduct
or attempted to bring the train in.
He was not afraid OF ghosts, not hei
But he side tracked at the first OPP
portunity and waited until daylight
before completing the run. He told
me that the ghost was no joke; that
every time the furnace door was
thrown open the heasiless apparition
entered the cab, bearing shadowy
scoop of coal. For month the en-
gine laid in the shop. Then an en-
gineer, who was compelled to either
take it out or lose his position, mount
ed it. Before he had run dozen
miles it went through culvert,
wrecked the train and killed nine
people. 1t was never rebuilt. ."-St.
