CLERK OF THE SUPREME COURT.

The Virginia Enterprise says: "a
letter TO the Legislature, asking that the
Office OF Clerk of the Supreme Court be
re-established, Was sent here for sigma
tnres oil the lawyers OF this section q few
days ago. The office OF Clerk is not 90
unimportant as many suppose and it
should have the undivided attention II
necessary Of n person"
From the above it would appear that
q determined effort will. be made ia the
next Legislature to repeal The Act Of
February 20, 1893, abolishing the office
Of Clerk Of the Supreme Court and plac7
ing the duties OF that officer on the Sec
rotary OF State. If 1t is accomplished,
it n,rans,the saddling Of another useless
officer On tho already overburdcned tax
payers OF Nevada. We say a uselss
officer because. under the present condi-
tiens in Nevada-the spsrsity OF populs-
ton. the poverty Of the people and the
small amount Of litigation that reaches
the Supreme Conrt-the Secratery of
State has ample time to transact all
business necessary TO be done by . Clerk
Of that Court.
The people Of Nevada are not in q 0 n
di,ion to pay salaries TO Unnecessary
officers. A graat many Of them can
barely procure the necessaries of life for
themselves and families. They look to
the incoming Legislature 10 lop off all
unnecessary expenditures OF the public
funds, instead OF increasing their bur-
Ions by the creation Of unnecessary
offices, to be filed by the pets OF the
dominant party. Retrenchment, not
extravaganza. should be the motto Of
the next Legislature.
The Independent hopes that If q bill
to re%-estahlish the office OF Clerk CT the
Supreme Court be introduced into the
Legislature, it will receive the united OPP

American Tells of the Murder of
the Corean Queen.

the COrean Queen.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. II. -
Rudolph Nunnemacher, now visit
ing in Corea, writes to the Sentinel
from Seoul, giving an account of the
murder of the queen early in Octo-
Der. That the japanese were insti-
gators of the outrage, he says, seems
to be clearly evident in Seoul. He
says a body of japanese soshi COM
mitted the murder, and they were
backed by japanese troops. When
they had gained entrance to the
queens apartments they found four
women there, and being unable to
recognize the queen, who had dis
guised herself, they killed all four
women. The bodies, after having
been slashed and stabbed, were tied
up in blankets, carried to the court
yard, saturated with oil and burned.
1t is reported that the queen was
cremated alive, not having been dis
patched during the slaughter. The
japanese government has started an
inquiry, and many arrests have been
made An American general, who
