Ex-President Harrison writes of
THE Judicial Department of the
Government" in the January Ladies'
Home Journal, and says with
reference to the general mode of
selecting judges in the majority of
states: There has been much dis
cussion as to the proper tenure for
the judicial Office, and the tendency,
as expressed in the later state con-
stitutions, has been in favor of
limited terms. The earlier state
constitutions gave the appointment
Of the judges to the governor or the
legislature, but along with the de-
mand for limited terms for the
judges came another for their cleo
ton by the people, and in a majority
of the states they r now nominated
in the party conventions and elected
by popular vote, just as a governor
or sheriff is chosen. / do not think
that either ST these changes is a
reform. Limited terms, Of they are
long, may be supported by many
considerations; but short terms,
combined with popular elections.
have not, in my opinion, secured as
high a judicial standard as prevailed
before. A Judge who must go a:
short intervals before a political
convention for a nomination, and
before the people for an election,
cannot have the same sense of
independence and security that he
would have if his term were long or
during good behavior. The judicial
Office should be so organized that
men of the best abilities end attain
ments would enter it as a career,
and give their lives and ambitions
wholly to it."

Reports of a suspicious disap-
pearance of a Salmon river settler
has reached this place. Some two
or three weeks ago this settler,
whose name we did not learn,
started from Charley Reeds place
near DEVILS lake, with one of
Reeds horses to take some goods
up to his ranch on the north side
of Salmon river. He was seen to
start on his return with the horse
by white settlers. and to get as far
as Saginaw Bills, au Indian living
on Salmon river. This was the
last seen Of him, but five days after
his horse was found by Saginaw
Bill tied to a willow IN the bank
Of Salmon river and standing in
water about belly deep. So Word
was passed around among the set
r.
tiers and search was made for him
in the river, the supposition being
that he had drownded. After a
thorough Of the river without SIC
cess, the house of Saginaw Bill was
searched, and hidden in the bed
were some clothes which the miss
ing man had carried on the trip in
his saddle bags. Some other things
were also found that. had been
missed by settlers at various times.
There is a strong feeling that the
man has been foully dealt with,
and suspicion rests very strongly
on the Indian referred to,

The correspondent of the Yaquina
Post of the 10Th inst. from this
section, who signs himself ere

before trying to reform others. If
he had ever reformed any he must
have been bad indeed, to try to get

citizens that have come in here
when it was a wilderness and made
all these roads and other advanta-
ges he speaks of, to turn them out
of their homes they have worked
so hard to make because times are
so hard they cannot raise the money
to file or make final proof. If he
had reformed he would have tried
to get the government to give them
