| The matter Of salaries was next taken
up and the salary of the overseer Of the
psor farm fixed at $1,000 per annum;
county physician the same, he to furnish
all medicines; and head janitor Of the
court house $40 per month, with each OF
his assistants S55. The matter of hiring
help for the new salaried Offices came up
and with it another discussion, on the
question of whether the board had the
right to name the number of deputies
each officer should have. The matter
was finally settled, however, by resolu-
ton introduced by Mr.Dwyer and passed
unanimously, giving the ways and meana
committee full power to act in the mat
ter. Bids were ordered advertised
for printing and other incidentals, the
proposals to be opened the third Mon
day in January.
The commissioners met again Wednes-
day morning, and proceeded to the mat
ter Of fixing the forces Of the clerk Of
court and register Of deeds, after order
ing a small amount Of Office printing and
adopting the bond of DIR. G. r. Mont
gomery, as deputy coroner, in the sum Of
$500. Commissioners Nash, chairman of
the committee on ways and means, re-
ported the following schedule OF help for
the Office Of register Of deeds: One chief
clerk at 81 500, two deputies at $1,000
each. two male clerks at 5000, two fe-
male indexers at 500 each, one composer
at 1896, one composer at 500, eight f.
male recorders at $500 each. This is q
total of :$13,260, is two more assistants
than was employed by the former regis
ter, and salary of $4,000 more than
formerly. In the clerk of courts, the
following list was reported: One chief
deputy at $4,000, one bookkeeper and
cashier at 81 900, one chief deputy at
81 LOCO, one deputy for public business at
court room clerks at 500, one chief court
clerk, $1,000. The clerk gets $4,000,
which is total of $18.800. The report
was adopted as reported.
1t was agreed by resolution that all
printing be ordered by the chairman Of
the printing committee. 49,.
Mr. Egan offered resolution to vacate
q portion of the Wayzatar road, near Spring
Park, where new and shorter cut has
been made. It was carried.
The matter Of the report of the former
board Of audit was talked over. Mr..
Buxton stated that he had examined the
books and found that everything was all
right, with the exception of an amount
short that had been adjusted. The new
auditing board thought it proper, how
ever, to complete the report handed in
by the one retiring.

In March, 1885, a debate in the House
Of Commons on the Orange Society 10
suited in the appointment Of s,leot
committee to inquire into the origin, OBJ
jects and methods Of the institution.
The evidence collected is most invalua-
BILE to the student Of, the Irish question.
It throws lurid light on the deeds of
the Orange Society during the forty
years of it's existence that had then
passed, and not even the most ardent
and bigoted partisan of the order will
find in the pages of the blue book the
.slightest testimony Of any honesty or Of
any weight in support of the necessity
for it's existence century ago, not to say
to-day Here is passage from the re-
port Of the select committee:
"The obvious tendency and effect Of
the Orange institution is to keep up IN
exclusive association in civil and military
society, exciting one portion Of the peo-
pie against the other, to increase the.
rancor and luminosity too often unfortun.
+ately existing between persons Of differ
emit religious persuasions; to make tho
Protestant the enemy of the Catholic aud
the Catholic the enemy of the Protest
ant; BY professions on particular days,
to excite the breaches Of the peace and
to blood-shed; to raise up other secret
societies among the Catholics ia their
own defense and for their own protec- /.
ton against the insults Of the Orange
men; to interrupt the course st Justice.
and to interfere wich the discipline Of
the army, thus rendering it's services in
furious instead of useful when required
on occasions when Catholics md Prot.
estants may be parties. All these evils
have been proved by the evidence be-

The spirit Of the times was martial tc

GOVERNMENT SALOONS.
How the Crime of Drunkenness Is Regard
ed ia Military Life.

A gentleman who has good reason
for his statement says; ''How much
cause there is for regret that Gen. How
ard stands so nearly alone in dcnounc-
ing the saloon curse under whatever
name and guise; and how much the
fact that he stands thus nearly alone
signifies as to the drink customs Of the
United States army
II would like to give few details as
TO the working of the saloon feature of
the post exchange at certain south
western post. After the January pay
day sergeant, musician and private
were placed under arrest for crimes
committed while under the influence
of drink obtained at the much-lauded
post exchange. The sergeant was found
by the officer Of the day drunk while
in charge of the guard d-stupidly drunk.
The other two indulged in drunken
fight. A corporal was also placed un-
der arrest for drunkenness, incapaci-
tating him for the proper performance
of his duties as company clerk. Now
not one of these men was tried for
drunkenness, or amy other cause.
.sThey got drunk on beer sold at the
government saloon. and it would never
do to try them for such an offense!
What did II matter that the sergeant
was not able to look after his guard?
Nothing when the fact was taken into
consideration that he got his beverage
at the cooperative saloon, especially as
the officer of the day happened 10 be the
officer in charge of the canteen.

NOTES BY THE WAY.

Ir man undertakes to support a sa-
loon and his family, it inevitably hap
pens that the saloon grows richer and
the family poorer.
THE Wisconsin scandinavian total
abstinence association has one thou
sand five hundred members. and con-
sists OF thirty-seven local societies.
A CONSERVATIVES estimate places the
quantity Of whisky marketed by Ken
lucky moonshiners annually at nearly
one-fourth OF the output Of all the dis
tilleries Of the state.
couST LEO ToLsror, who spent his
time and fortune year ago In ailevia-
ting the sufferings of the starving Rus
SLAMS, asserts that drunkenness was
one of the great causes Of the famine.
INVESTIGATION by the Swiss federal
council shows that the Swiss consume
twenty-seven million litres of brandy
yearly, and that in consequence the
number of men fit for military service
is decreasing.
POLICE statistics show that the ar
rests for drunkenness in London are at
the annual rate of one to every 175 in
habitants; in Birmingham, one to l5S;
in Manchester, one TO II, and in Liver
pool, one to so.
CERTAIN regiments in India were kept
under strict observation. The five
thousand six hundred soldiers were di-
rided into three classes, free and mod
crate drinkers and total abstainers.
The death rate of the free drinkers was
four times and the death ate of the
moderate drinkers twice that OF the alb
stainers.
THE state of Illinois, with popula-
tion Of 3,sa6,s51 consumed 3,ssS, ,S64 bar
rels Of beer during the year 1892. This
was more than one barrel to every in
| habitant. The state of Kansas, with a
population OF 1,42I, ,092 only used 1850
barrels. The city of Cincinnati, O..
alone used in 1892 ten barrels of beer
to every one that was consumed in the
entire state of Iowa. In eighteen days
the city of Chicago alone used as much
beer as all of the inhabitants of Iowa
do in a whole year.

Often it is marked by both epidemic
and endemic waves and is traced in the

II we want Gods help wo must not

through men rashly seeking to help
