LAWYERS Come High.

The Marshfeld Times in its last issue
after publishing the fees each lawyer
received in the Lord aud Emery trial,
says:
MIR. Williams Gays the reason why
the amount paid the states attorneys
is so much lager than the amounts
paid the defendants attorneys is be-
cause of the fact that they were allowed
$25 Il day while himself and assistants
received only the small sum of $l5 per
day-ahOut the same wages they paw
on the Yukon. It don't matter much
to the tax payers of this county who
received the highest salary They
know when they come to pay their tax
this fall that it cost this county some
thing like 81 600 TO send Lord and
Emery 10 Waupun and nearly SIS, 900
more 10 keep them there, and that at
the present tiffI@ Il motion fO. q new
trial is pending. II Mr.. Williams pub
fishes this statement to show the
people that he has not received pay
enough for his work and is dissatisfied
and wants to quit, the people of this
county will gladly retire him. We do
not know on what grounds Mr.. Will
iams has asked for new trial but ina
CINE he found an -" upside down in
the typewriter evidence or possibly
an ''if' where an 'and" should have
been. Viewing this case in The eyes of
justice a great farce has been going on
since the first trial. Lord and Emery
were given q fair and impartial trial al
the first, They were found guilty of
the murder of Peter Honsron, and that
should have ended l.. If it had, the
taxpayers OF thus county would be from
Is to $20,0 900 ahead, instead Of groaning
under load Of heavy taxes Our Grim
inal laws should be amended so that
when u criminal has Il fair trial and is
found guilty and is convicted, he should
stay convicted.

the belief that the Lord and Emery

The Spirit That Prompts Il.

Our Free-Trade and free silver friends
are alike making an effort to manufac-
ture political capital out Of whatever
wages disputes can be discovered with
an energy that betrays desperation.
There are about $50 iron and steel con-
Germs in the country. Exactly one of
them, for reasons peculiar to itself,
which may be good or may be bad, has
announced reduction in wages. Yet
the same contingent is starting an out
cry on this as an impeachment of the
Dingley bill. They say nothing of the
fact that works employing three to four
times as many men have given an in
crease of wages. They suppress the
fact that the revival of activity has en-
abled the iron industry as whole to
disburse about 40 per cent. more wages
than for the same period under the

Christian Workers.

The Third Annual Conference for
Ministers and Christian workers, will
hold its sessions in Chicago, at the Bible
Institute, through The month of April.

Of the Union will be represented this

The object of this Conference is to

Of aggressive Christian work, and to

More people have expressed their
agreement with what we said last week
about high school graduates in country
schools and at teachers examination
than wessupposed read the column. 1t
leads Us to suggest another idea and
that is that country school teachers have
among their many responsibilities the
duty Of encouraging their better pupils
to continue their education at neigh
boring high schools or normals-prefer-
ably the former for norm ais are sup
posed to be profession and not dis
tiHctly educative in their work. Many
really bright pupils are allowed to quit
school when they have finished the
country school simply because there
was no one to give them an encouraging
word. For those vino find that tuition
and board make such schooling expen-
sive, we would suggest that in many
towns there are homes that are open to
the boy or girl who would earn their
own way.

SENATOR N|LCOX'S OFFER
SUITABLE SITE FOR CAMPING
GROUNDS.
Large Block at King and Sheridan
Street Placed at General Merriam's
Service Free for Six Months.

just before his departure for Hon
olulu General Merriam received a let
ter from Colonel Barber stating that
it was difficult matter to find suit
able camping grounds there for the
troops that were to be sent to the Is
lands. day or two later there came
instructions from Washington revok-
ing the order to forward troops to
Honolulu until the return of General
Merriam, who would report upon a
camp site.
When General Merriam comes back
from the Islands, says the Call, in
about two weeks, whether or not he
has discovered any camping ground
in or near Honolulu. he will find
awaiting him here an offer of suit
able site. The offer is made by G.. \.
Wilcox, a prominent business man of
Honolulu and a member of the Ha-
waiian senate. Mr.. Wilcox, who is
endorsed, by Senator Perkins, consult
ed with Colonel Berry of the Seventh
California, in regard to the matter.
and at the coloneIs suggestion he put
his proposition in writing and then
addressed it to General Merriam. 1t
is as follows:
Understanding that the forward
ing of troops to Honolulu as contem-
plated, has been interfered with be-
cause doubts have been created as to
securing a suitable camp ground, I
would respectfully submit that I am
the owner of a tract of land within
two miles of the business center of
Honolulu, it being the unoccupied
portion of a block, and containing
about 500 feet by 400 feet of land. adj
jacent to and bounded by Sheridan
and King streets, along one of which
a government water pipe is laid,
which | hereby offer for use as tenn
porary camp ground, from one to six
months, at the option of the govern
ment, for any troops the United
States government may desire to for
ward there; the only condition being
that when the ground is vacated by
the troops it be placed in as good con-
dition as when they took possession
of it,"
The block of land offered by Sena-
tor Wilcox is admirably suited for the
purposes of a camping ground. being
covered with a heavy growth of shade
trees, fronting on car line on the
main street of the city and possessing
abundant water and drainage facil-
ties,
