FEEs ALLOWED THE ExcoHpxR.

We, from necessity, have been unable
to give but few items for each officer.
and for Iut few Of the offices, but
enough are given TO show the relative
rates of the two states, and we believe
that the rates in Michigan are the aver
age rates in eastern states.
Now we do not for Il moment believe
that it will be or can be coutendel that
our officers give Us any better service
than those OF other states, or that
the Offices are less sought after there
than here. Neither can it be success
fully claimed that we are more prosper
Gus than they, or that our farmers,
mechanics or laborers receive higher
rate OF pensation than do the like
persons in those states; neither can it be
shown that the burden Of taxation sits
more lightly upon the tax payers Of
Idaho than upon those of Michigan.
No one claims that these rates are due
to Populist legislation, for there is no
state in the union more free from Popu
llsm than Michigan.
The facts would seem to US to he that
this great mass Of criticism, found in
our exchanges, is due almost wholly 10
the fact that the office holders Of the
state are setting up concerted howl
with the view of affecting legislation in
the future. While we believe that the
bill in question is unequal in some Of its
provisions, and in very few instances
cuts the fees below a just rate OF com
PeEsaiion, as whole it is a step in
abe right direction, and that the bill. in
most OF its items, allows STILL higher I, es
than are allowed in other states.

THE FEE BILL.

II we were TO judge from the criticisms
81 the fec bin passed at the last session
at the legislature, found in the state ex
changes which come Ia our table, we
wonlL he bound To believe that great
injustice had been done the office hold,
Rrs Of the state; and the public business
liable TO go to low wows. Before pass
ing hasly opinion NC believe that the
matter should be Investigated and the
fact asCertained il the fees allowed BY
the bill are below just rate OF compen-
sation, and whether they are below
those allowed by other states for ike
services.
We have compared the fees allowed in
the bill With those allowed in Michigan,
and give below few Of the comparisons
hy which it will be seen that the rates
allowed in this state are still higher than
the rates allowed in that:

Some changes in the interior arrange ment at the Church of the Redeemer are contemplated, but no definite plans for the alterations have yet been made.

The Wanton Slaughter of Birds.

DR.. +. II. Warren, the state zoolOgist,
strongly urges the Legislature to take
measures to prevent the wanton killing
of insectivorous birds, and in this con-
neCtion he presents some figures that
merit close attention. Says he:
During recent years there has been
very great increase both in number
and virulence of the parasitic fungi and
insect pests with which the farmer and
horticulturist have to contend. Besides
these enemies, the cultivator of the soil
has to combat certain species of birds
and mammals which annually do much
damage to his cultivated crops. The
destruction of forests, both by lumber
men and devastating forest fires-es-
pecially the latter-has caused many
insects to abandon their habitatiOns in
the forests and take up their abodes in
the cultivated lands Eminent ento-
mological authorities assure us that at
least one tenth of all the cultivated
crops of this country are annually de-
stroyed by insects, and that the aggre-
gate amount of damage done is up
wards of $3OO,OO0O 900 every year in the
United States. OF this immense sum
it is a very conservative estimate to
state that Pennsylvania share
through insect ravages alone is about
s5,OOOOO0 annually.
Some three years ago the pine bark
beetle committed depredations in the
pine forests of southwestern Pennsyl-
vania and in West Virginia amounting
to fully $1,000,000, and during the pres
ent year, according to the estimate OF
our correspondents, the army worn
damaged crops, chiefly cereals, to the
extent of at least 100000. In 1895 rose
bugs and English sparrows caused, ac,
cording to the testimony of our Erie
county correspondents, fully $4,000 los!
to vineyards in the famous Erie crap,
belt. In North Carolina, the insec
hosts annually, it is said, destroy owe
$l,500,0 900 worth of agricultural prod
ucts. In 1898, the loss from granary in
sects to the corn crop alone in the stat,
of Alabama was claimed to be $1,671, ,SS2
and in the Lone Star state grain weev
lis, according to a well known writer
caused an annual loss in store cereal
of over $l,000000. In 1874 the western
states were visited by grasshoppers
which played such havoc with the crop
that their depredations amounted t
$4,000 OOC. The chinch bugs were so nu
merous in Illinois in 1864 that they cos
the people of that state over $73, 600 0OC
and in Missouri in 1874 the same vo
racious pests devoured agriculture

If the President-Elect Should Die.

Attention has recently been newly
called to what is pronounced curious
omission in our written scheme of gov
ernment-an omission stated in the fol-
lowing question: Suppose that the
successful candidate for the presidency
should die in the interval between the
general election and the meetings of
the presidential electors in their sew
eral state capitals on the second Mon
day in January, or even after that, but
before the results of those meetings
should be formally declared in the
presence of congress on the second
Wednesday of February, who would be
the next president of the United
.tates?"
This question was asked few weeks
ago in the British National Review and
it has since received very general con-
sderation in the American press. The
contingency in question has never
arisen nor is there any special law ia
decide procedure should arise; but on
the whole we think the Chicago Times
Herald covers the subject very fairly
when it says that if the president-elect
We're to die prior to the meeting Of the
| presidential electors in their several
state capitals on the second Monday in

Common Council Takes a Brace.

Common council last night could not
do otherwise than pass finally the or
dnance creating a sewer district in the
Eleventh. Twelfth and Nineteenth
wards. In the face of the weighty
testimony of the admittedly represen-
tative citizens of the three wards in
question. councils would have been
open to a charge of dereliction of duty
if they had taken any action other
than in the affirmative. For years the
localities contained in the now Seven
teenth sewer district have formed a
disease-breeding watershed which
might better be described as nasty, and
it has been due only to good luck that
that region has not been visited by eX-
tensive and highly fatal epidemics of
contagious disease. Scranton is too
broad and too progressive to permit
any one section of it's confines to re-
main in a state of coma. There is
Just as much reason that the city
should be cleanly as that it should be
godly; in fact it cannot be wholly good
unless it is at least reasonably clean.
There will be ten years in which to
make payment for this sewer.
