The recent legislature having
done some good in fixing the SAL

1898. which means that the success

whose term of office begin Septem
her, 1898, will be paid by salary

$1,000; Trustee, $1OOO;sClerk of.Cir-
cult Court, $500 Register of Deeds
$500, and all fees heretotoref given
Ia them is to be collected and paid
into the treasury.
We think the change a good one
for the officers who have theiknowl
edge that they have a fixed reven-
ue instead Of an uncertain one as
heretofore, and we should think
will be appreciated by the officers
Furthermore it ought to raise the
dignity Of the offices and hereafter
