THAT CLERkSHlP.

Judge Burlingame Is in position very
like that occupied by President Cleve-
land. He has one Office To divide be
tween a score Of importunate aspirants.
Today every one IL the score is satisfied
that the superior court is essential To the
peace and prosperity Of the United
States. When Andy Fyfe's successor
shall be chosen the nineteen disap
pointed applicants will believe it is no
Use for any purpose under the sun but
Ia rob the taxpayers Of $4,000 an
nually.
And the nineteen will he right. The I'M
seemly scramble for Mr.. Fyfe's position
illustrates very forcibly that il is looked
upon az snap The duties Of that
Office for whole year do not tax a
mans time or ability to the extent an
honest weeks labor taxes the average
reporter or the average salesman. IL
the court were a necessary tribunal the
expense IL maintaining il would not be
a proper subject for criticism, nor the
duties 81 the clerk matter for inquiry
But the court is wholly without excuse
FOR existence and the taxpayers are com
PEELED to pay clerk sl,2oO year for
an unnecessary court costing over
10000 a year.
In Difference to the fact that there are
two sides to every question. THE HER
AID 10 willing to be convinced that it is
in error regarding the status and utility
Of the superior court. 1t has invited
the friends Il the court To make use Of
its columns to give reasons why it should
not be abolished. Nobody has felt con-
strained To offer an argument in its be
half. Cheap ridicule and buncombe
praise have been the only arguments %
advanced by anybody in favor Of the
court. Now. that a score Of persons
seek TO obtain the 100 dollar clerkship.
it il a good time for somebody to state
why any man should be provided with
such sinecure.
