at seems to me absurd that in such pow
erful and rich country as the United States
you should pay your Supreme Court Justices
such beggarly salaries,' remarked Hugh
Childers, a London barrtster. to a Post man.
"In England we have altogether about thirty
Judges of the Supreme Court who draw an
nual salaries of $25, 900. Lord Russell Chief
Justice, is allowed $40 900 q year, ana the
Lord Chancellor's pay Is $50, 900, or just what
you give your President, but the Lord Chan
celior comes into office and goes out with his
ing good behavior, which is about the same
thing. We do not consider that our Judges
paic too much, and it is surTrislng to
think that for equally high and responsi Bile
places the salaries in America should be so
low. Men OF sufficient legal api ity and repu-
tation to be appointed to the Supreme Bench
in this country should think could make five
times much by the practice of their profess
sion, so that the acceptance of the office must
be a financial sacrifice

THE RAISEs LIQUOR LAW. G. F., City. The
Ra1nes liquor law OF New York was signed on
the 23d of March, 1896. Its provisions are
complex and multitudinous One claim for it
was that it removed the liquor trade from
local poiltics. Under lis provisions the
annual tax on ordinary liquor
shop in New York city is $500 per
annum; Brooklyn, $500; all cities with por-
ulations between 500 600 ana $4,000 $500;
between $4,000 and 10, 900, $3.50; between ! o.
600 and 5000, 5000; between 5000 and 1900,
$500; all other places, 800. There is no dis
elimination in the tax between the sale of
spirits and the sale of wine and beer. Sunday
opening is forbidden. No liquor-shop is to be
within 200 feet of church or
schoo' house. No new TQuor->hop IS 10

cOasent of two-thrds OF the property-owners.
There are restraints on groceries and on clubs.
Local option as TO the sale of liquor is forbid
den to cities, but is granted TO towns. The
State Commissioner has four deputies
and sixty inspectors One-third of the
liquor tax met proceeds goes to the
State treasury, and Iwo-thirds TO the cities,
counties and towns where levied. The law
has, as tax-law raising revenue, been sue
cess, but as law restricting the sale of liquor
it has not met expectation. A presentment by
the Grand Jury OF New York declared that the
law was so drawn "as to invite evasion"
