COUNTY SALARIES.
Is This Another Mares Nest-oficiaIs
Interested.

And now it is quietly whispered
around that the several county officials
who have hitherto announced their in
tention of refusing to deposit their
fees with the proper officers, will do
so and claim their salaries under the
! bill passed at the late session of the
legislature, which, if opinion be true,
will amount to four times as much
as would be presumed from a reading
of the bill
1t is asserted that the present county
attorney is authority for the legal state
ment that the salary of the sheriff of
this county for instance is not $4,000
per annum, but $4,000. This, it is
claimed is due to a defect in the bill,
which says that the salary of the sher-
Tiff shall be $4,000, burt does not place a
time limit for the same.
,Bhe language of the bill is '"The sal
aries of officers of the first, second and
third classes are hereby fixed as fol-
lows and then the figures are given.
The clause which relates to payment is
Salaries must be paid quarterly out
of the contingent fund, etc.
Although Mr. Whittemore could not
be seen last evening, it is stated that
he is of the opinion that as the law is
indefinite in this it does not fix COM
penSation for given term, the act
will be considered as invalid by the
courts, and until some binding 1egis-
lation is had the fees will be given to
the officers up to the end of their sever
al terms, it being such that the legis-
lature cannot determine the amount
of compensation due man after his
term mas expired.
There are several officers in the coun-
ty who have declared their intention
CT making contest and their lawyers
have the bill under consideration right
now. The several written opinions will
be handed in in a day or so and upon
what IS contained therein rests the
future course of the clients affected.

CHICAGO GENERAL MARKET.
Chicago, April 2O.-There was a moder-
ately active market, the range for the
day being Us cents in wheat. The fea-
ture was the May liquidation, many of
the larger commission houses selling
heavily, and as shorts covered quite freely
or Saturdays decline, the market had
very little support and prices declined.
Among the bear factors presented was
good weather in the winter wheat belt,
warm rains in Illinois and Indiana and
the liberal northwest receipts Cables,
100, were not strong and prospects were
for larger weekly worlds shipments.
The price OF corn suffered in sympathy
with wheat.
The trading IN oats was pretty generally
scattered and was principally in the way
of exchanging May to July at Ss@55c
premium for the latter.
Provisions opened lower because of the
large run of hogs. There were a good
mcny buying orders al the lower price
and some part of the early decline was
recovered.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

Mr.. Harrity,s Views.

NEW YORK, May 22.-William
F. Harrity, chairman of the democratic
national committee, reviewed the DEM
ocratic outlook in the country in con
versation with reporter at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel this morning. "The DEM
ocrats," said Mr.. Harrity, "are by no
means SO hopeless as the republican
newspapers picture them. On the con-
trary, they are hopeful and grow
ing more hopeful every day.
With e cry advance of the Mckinley
movement, the chance of the de-
mocracy has been improved. If Nc
Kinley is nominated at st. Louis, am
confident that democratic success next
November will be not only possible but
extremely probable. Business men
throughout the country have pro-
found distrust of Mckinley on account
of his record on the currency question
and his present silence, and l do not
believe that that distrust can be re-
moved by the adoption of sound
money platform by the st. Louis con-
vention. Even if Mckinley should
speak out later, the distrust would re-
main in greater or less degree.
There is no doubt now that the demo
cratic national convention will name q
sound money candidate and adopt
sound money platform. 1 con-
slider the talk about boiling as non
sense. The democrats will express
their views and fight till vote is
taken. Then all will fall in line with
the majority. I am not making any
predictions about the winner at Chica-
go just yet"

CONGRESSIONAL.

The Senate had an hour yesterday
evening of much excitement, with re-
sort to obstructive tactics and several
heated personal controversies. At five
o'clock Mr.. Butler moved to take up
his bill prohibiting the further issue OF
interest bearing bonds. Mr.. Hill i'm
mediately moved an adjournment, Sc
curing yea and nay vote, in order to
gain time. The motion was defeated,
whereupon MIR. Chandler followed with
motion for an executive session. For
an hour roll-calls and calls of the SEN
ate followed in quick succession. AS a
further means of delay, Mr.. Hill Sc
cured the reading. of q lengthy con-
ference report, which had been pre-
sented, and Mr.. Chandler secured
the reading of several long rou.
tine documents sent over from the
House. Irritated by these delays, Mr..
Allen accused Mr.. Hill of lack ofgood
faith, to which the New York Senator
angrily retorted that Mr.. Aliens state
ment was false. The colloquy was
OTl6I, Uub very SuaA nho ALL Va AOOhnS s.
At 6:15 the sergeant-at-arms was di-
rected to go for absent Senators. Be-
fore this could be executed, however,
Mr.. Butler yielded, announcing that he
would renew the fight for the bond pro-
hibition bill to-day.
In the House the time for the debate
on the Phillips commission bill was ex-
tended until to-day at four o'clock. The
bill provides for the appointment by the
President of partisan commission
of twenty.one, seven representatives
each from labor, agriculture and busi-
ness, to collate information and con-
slider and recommend legislation to
meet the problems presented by labor,
agriculture and capital. MIR. Phillips,
chairman of the labor committee, and
author of the bill, made the principal
argument. He said he had the united
support of all the labor organizations
of the country.
The indications now are that Con-
gress will adjourn between June ! and
10. There is no likelihood of a bill be-
ing formulated to increase the revenues
upon which both parties would COM
bine.

A Vireinian's Crime.

Heveing were found in small bed
room on Seventh street, last night.
The woman had been murdered by
Shepherd. The body of the woman
was lying in bed. She was probably
asleep when the crime was committed.
Shepherd had then cut his throat.
Mrs. Heveing was addicted to the use
of morphine and, as it is known that
Shepherd was opposed to the use of the
drug, this fact may have led to the
murder. The husband of the murdered

THAT SECESSION is no more objec-
tionable now than it was during the
last war with England, and by no means
as much now as it was during the war
with the South, is proved by the fact
that at recent republican meeting in
the republican city of Denver, in the
republican State OF Colorado, the right
to secede from the Union was preached
and applauded, and the threat openly
and boldly made that if the government
shall not enforce the equality ofgold
and silver, the Union will be divided,
not latitudinally but longitudinally, and
the Mississippi River become the
boundary line of new western repub-
lie. But times change, and to none
more easily and rapidly than to repub.
licans.

THE COURSE pursued by SO many of
the gold democrats of Richmond yes
terday in refusing to take part in the
election for delegates to Staunton, lest
they should be bound to support the
nominee of the Chicago convention in
case he be in favor of free silver coinage,
is by no means favorable to their repu-
tation for common sense, for it would be
infinitely better for Virginia to have no
currency at all, than that there should
be republican Congress and a republic
can President at the same time. And
nothing could be more conducive to
what they are opposed, the adoption OF
the unit rule at Stanton, than the very
thing they hGye done.

FRIDAY EVENING, MAY %. 1896.

THE DEMOCRACY of the North never
could be relied upon. 1t was upon It's
promise to the ear, only to be broken
TO the heart, of the South, that thou
sands of the people of this section went
so far in 1861 that they could not, with
honor and self respect, refuse to 60
farther. Since then it has, it is true,
stood by the South, but not for love.
It knew that without the support Of
the latter it could have no part nor lot
in the administration of the govern
ment, and it has reaped the chiefhonors
and emoluments of every post bellum
national democratic victory, though
MANY of the recipients thereof, to
crafty their personal spite, have help
ed the republicans in New York, Mary
land and Kentucky to defeat the demo-
cratic tickets in those States. Some OF
them now threaten to bolt the national
democratic convention if the nominee
thereof shall not agree with their ideas
in respect of the currency, and though
one of the cardinal principles of democ-
racy is tariff for revenue only, so that
there may be equal opportunities to all
and special favors to none, the social
ed democratic convention of the
State of New Hampshire has just de-
clared for the republican principle OF
protection. The preservation OF Ameri'
can true democracy depends upon the
South, and the loyalty of Southern
democrats, not only to their party, but
to their own section and their own
States, may be secuted when they talk
of voting for republican Presidential
nominee, if the majority of their own
party shall not insist upon gold money
standard.

The Jail is q dilapidated structure but

THE spontaneous and enthusiastic
respect, affection and love, manifested
by the Russian people for their Car at
his coronation at Moscow yesterday,
should be amply sufficient to disprove
all the stories that have been published
in this country about his imaginary
tyrannous rule, and the general hate it
has engendered against him through
out his entire empire. Men don't
crack their Threats in cheering, nor wo-
men tire their arms in waving hand
kerchiefs, for man who is the object
of their fear and detestation. All
rulers must have enemies, but the Gar
has as few as any other, and has done
