Parliamentary Law.

So much has been said about the
exhibition Of parliamentary law know
ledge in the Republican caucus in
Lancaster that some statements there
to are in order. 1t must be borne in
mind that no rules can be formulated
to cover every ease that can arise but
that general principles control aud
must be adapted to particular eircum-
stances a. necessary.
Roberts Rules Of Order says that in
the selection Of chairman and secre-
tary for IN occasional netting like
caucus that when a nomination has
been made the presiding officer should
call for vote on the name he first
hears. 1t says
Sometimes several names are called out,
and the chairman as he hears them, SAYS
Mr. Il. is nominated Mr.. D. Is nominated
etc he then takes vote on the first one he
heard. II the motion IS lost the question Is
put on Mr.. 6, and so on until some one Is
elected.
There seems TO be no authority for
the claim that when two are nomi-
mated the chair should put first the
name proposed by the gentleman
farthest from him.
Another error Of the caucus rulings
was that i motion can not contain
more than one point. Ii II i wei
established that a motion may con
tain any number Of points.
Roberts Rules saw. that an amend

Sdlaru and Work Of County Judge.

The salaries Of the county officers
are fixed by the county board and no
officer can draw more from the county
treasury than the board allows.
In 1888 the county board liked the
salary Of county Judge at $1,000 year
and it has remained at that figure
ever since. Prior to that the salary
had been $1,000 year and about 800
extra for clerk hire
A. j, the history in an the states Of
the age q Wisconsin, the work i'd the
county Judge office is continually in
creasing.
Since 1856 the work in this office in
this county has increased more than
threshold and there are reasons for
the increase

vail and the expense Of the Office would
be doubled.
In the cneapness with which public
business is administered Grant county
Is exceptional There l. probably not
a county in the state or nation for
that matter, Of the size wealth and
importance Of Grant county where
county government costs 50 little.
Salaries are lower than in other
counties. Iowa only little over half
the size Of Grant pays her county
Judge $500 and that is about anayer-
age and fair sample Of the expense and
salaries generally.
1t can be confidently asserted that
there is rot a county in the state OF
the size and population OF Grant where
the cost OF the county court is so lit
tie.
The legislature of 1895 authorized
county boards to grant Registers in
Probate to county judges. The Grant
county board at the November session
of 1895, without single dissenting
vote passed resolution authorizing
the appointment:of register and fix
ing his salary at five hundred dollars.
The county board appointed COM
mittee to examine the affairs and the
amount of work done, and upon the
report Of that committee the whole
board acted. Originally the county
Judge was paid by fees, just as the
clerk of the court is now paid. II he
were now paid by fees the Office would
easily be worth $4,000 per year
But the whole work of the Office, Judi
cial and clerical is now done for one
fifth that amount or $4,000. So far as
we have been able to learn the county
Judges office Of Grant county is adj
the cheapest for the work
done Of any public Office in the state.

dozen or fifteen old and close friends,
who arranged the sitting of the aged
lady without her sons knowledge for
an artist who came here TO paint the
majors picture. Not until the work
was finished did the major know of the

is represented in her Customary attire,
wearing the little cap of lace so familiar
to all that know her. She is seated in
her favorite armchair and holds her
Bible stoutly clasped in both hands.

The republican county convention
last week was one that will long be
remembered for its size and the rep
resentative character OF the gentle
men composing it, for its earnestness
and the unmistakable verdict of its
action. There was more at stake in
this convention than merely the select
ion OF nominee for Judge. 1t was
to decide whether fair, gentlemanly,
and honorable methods and purposes
should denominate the party or wheth
er small spite, petty jealousy, person
al abuse, and ring rule should con-
troll. The republicans of the county
have asserted themselves grandly and
have so thoroughly rebuked the dema-
goguery and fussy partizanship Of the
recent campaign that we may reason
ably hope they viii not be again soon
revived. With Geo b Carter, the
able Judge and cultured gentleman
