won for himself by his ability and probity an
exceptional position in the profession of the
law. Judge Bunns brief administration of the
Judicial office, to which he was appointed by
Gov. Clough, has been such as to win for
him the encomiums of the best lawyers at the
bar and the personal good will and admiration
OF all who have been brought in contact with
the machinery of public justice.
1t will be very unfortunate circumstance
for the community if this disgraceful abuse
Of political right and decency effected by the
local Republicans in refusing to nominate
Judge Bum shall pass unrebuked. 1t will
be especially so since it will give an implied
warrant for the low standard of party polit-
1cal ethics represented at present by the local
Republican organization. We would not have
known what Judge Bunn'S political beliefs
were had it not been for this extraordinary
action of our Republican fellow citizens. His
politics did not prevent his appointment by a
Republican governor; they certainly ought not
to have prevented his nomination by q Re-
publican convention, were that convention In
f1uenced by any sense Of public responsible
itv.
The only way, as we have already said
by which this remarkable abuse of party po-
ltical responsibility be effectively repudi-
MeSsrs. Bum and Michael. No one contends
that they are not the superiors, everything
considered, of the men who have been nomi-
ratsd against them. No one pretends to be-
ieve that the local bench will not lose one
or its ableSt and most scrupulouS occupants
If Judge Bum is not elected. No one will
deny that the principle of a non-partisan ju-
dietary Is worth struggling for. There can
then, be no course for any really patriotic,
public-spirtted citizen in Ramsey county to
tons OF the two parties but to cast his vote
IN favor OF the men and the party that stand
for the assertion of the principle of nomi-
mating just and able Judge.

in the interest of individual politicians,
which the journal of both houses show,
and the details Of which will be given
in these columns as the campaign
progresses, there was but one specific
piece of legislation adopted which os.
tensibly aimed at the fulf1llment Of the
latter part Of the promise embodied in
the above resolution-to secure such
legislation as would promote "the re-
duction Of the highly paid officials"
It is known as chapter sol, Of the laws
Of 1895. It's title says that it is de.
signed to reduce the salaries of county
officials, and 1T was drawn to apply to
counties Of not less than 100000 nor
more than 100000 Of population-in
other words. to Ramsey county.
That alleged law has been before the
district court Of this district at least
half dozen times, and before the SUI.
preme court not less than four times
1t is due to come before both courts
as many times more unless it's mis-
happen features are erased from the
statute books of the state this session
OF the legislature. It pretended to put
the county officers on a salary basis.
Four thousand dollars was the salary
rate pretended to be adopted in that
act. But 1t was a mere pretense. II
fix the salaries of county officers II
said just how many deputies and as,
sistants should be hired in each office
and told that their aggregate salaries
should not be less nor more than a.
certain sum. On its face, and to tho
uninitiated mind, that alleged law was
q fair effort to fulfill the promise of
that Republican platform. But what
was it in fact, and what was it de-
signed to accomplish? It was a fraud.
pure and simple, and it was designed
to humbug the people and to let the
officers of the G. o. P. go scot free
from all interference. It was anothe,
and less notorious way Of doing what
was accomplished when the original
salary law was repealed two years be-
fore by the corruption fund, which was
gotten up and expended by q third
Republican county official, side-partner
Of the present Republican, candidats
for sheriff, Charley Chapel It was de,
termined that there should be no re.
duction; but that the people should be
hunibugged into the belief that there
would be.
How can you sustain this state
ment? Is asked. Easily. The very IL
tie Of the bill was a fraud, made II
unconstitutional, and was so designed
IEere could be no reduction made ef-
fective through the bill unless it was
established beforehand that the fees
OF the several offices were and always
had been and would continue to be
more than $4,000 annually. II there
was any possible contingency in which

campaign, Eli Warner, did his best to
get a grab of 5000 through for his
prOtege, Chapel. for extra expenses in
the hanging of those two unfortunate
boys who lost their lives by the SEN
tence OF the law in this city a few
years ago. Yes; and they attempted or
pretended to attempt, 70 pass other
legislation for the purpose Of ousting
certain city employees and getting in
others In their stead. But, that is an
other story, story, too, that will be
fully told from the records of the legis-
latures Of 1895 and 1897, before this
campaign Is done.
And now the same old crowd are
seeking to be returned to the places in
the legislative department of the state
government which they have steadily
prostltuted'tot their own selfish and COR
rupt ends, 1t Is the same old gang,
with few additions which give as
surance that what has been left un-
done IN the way Of crooked and uncon-
Stitutional legislation will be complet-
ed in the most workmanlike manner,
IL the people of this county are foolish
enough to be again duped into placing
any trust in this aggregation Of min
compOops and tricksters.

TRAIL Of EXTRAVAGANZA
Which the Republican County Officers Have
Left on the Records Through the Rotten
Laws Which the Representatives of Ram
sey County Framed Up Ignorantly or
Cunningly.

It was in the county convention of
local Republicans in 1894 when the
crowd of cheap politicians had not
yet shown, as completely as they have
since, what they are, and while the
people were still under the delusion
that reform was to follow upon the
party change that had been wrought
that the following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved, That the Republican party of
ramsey county Is in favor of such reduction
OF PUBIC expenditures and public burdens as
can be made consistently with proper and
effective administration of county and munich
pal affairs; OF the reduction of the highly
paid officials; OF abolishing all useless and ex-
travagant city and county boards. and of the
adoption OF such measures as will leave the
control OF and responsibility for municipal
government and affairs direct with the peo-
PIE. AND pledges itself to use all reasonable
EFFORTS to procure such legislation as will con-
duce to that end.
The committee which framed the
platform Of which this resolution was
part was made up of and included
the present Republican candidate for
congress. That resolution still repre-,
SCENTS the chief profession of the local
republican crowd, whereby they Sc.
cured and have since been able ia
maintain control Of the county offices.
What has been done to make good
the promise contained In this profess
sion? And could the promise have
peen made good if it was seriously
meant? Both houses Of the legislature
the following winter were controlled by
the Republican party, and there was
Republican governor. The delega-
tlon IN the senate from this county
was solidly Republican, being made un

UPHOLD JUDICIAL HONOR
BY Defeating WiIlrich and Jaggard
for the District Bench.


Under ain editorial headed Uphold
Judicial Honor" the Northwestern
Chronicle says:
most praiseworthy effort has prevailed in
this community for many years past among
the most responsible and conscientious ele-
ments Of our political population to keep the
judiciary out OF politics. Until recently It has
been comparatively successful; but not with
out arduous labor and sacrifice on the part
of those who have commended for the princi-
pie
In the. last Republican county convention
however, this commemorate policy received
a blow which was intended to prove fatal
The refusal Of the local Republicans to unite
with their Democratic brethren In this lofty
purpose will result either in the completes
vtndication of the principle or in having an
end put to It's operation for very many wears
in this judicial district.
What the result will be In this respect
must, of course, depend upon the voters of the
county. If they follow the direction OF the
professional politicians of the Republican mar
ty. who most thoroughly Justify in practice
the imputation Of Phariseeism cast upon the
leading adherents of that party they will of
course, elect two Republican nominees of that
convention. II they intend to be governed by
a decent regard to the demands OF good gov
eminent they will, with equal certainty, cast
their vote for the two Democratic nominees.

tlemen represent the highest expression which

sense Of official fitness. They are both most

WILL WAIT ON Mr.. SHEPARD
ELEVENTH WARDERis WANT TO
KNOW WHERE HE STANDS
Property Owners in the Vicinity of
Randolph Street Decide to Fight
for Street Car Service.

Residents of the Fifth and Eleventh
wards gathered en- masse in Keintz's
hall, Randolph street, last evening, and
speedily formed themselves into an
organization, to be known as the Citi-
zens Club of the Fifth, Eighth and
Eleventh wards. They elected W. S.
Thorp president and Geo. Hunt Sec
retary.
The direct object of this club, which
will meet every two weeks, is to de-
wise ways and means OF restoring the
old+tinne street railway service on Ran
dolph street. This side line, which
ceased to operate about six months
ago, had for five years previously been
q boon and blessing to the residents
Of Randolph, Juneau, Armstrong,
James and Palace streets. Since the
company suddenly decided to step Civ
ing that section of the city transporta-
ton facilities, the people there have
been Justly indignant, and their annoy
ance has now reached that stage when
they are resolved to revive the car
service or know the reason why.
Aid. Reeves, Of the Fifth ward, at
the last meeting of the council. intro
dUced a resolution, providing for 'the
operation of horse passenger railway
cars" on Randolph street. The Citi-
Zens' club, at last nights session, pass
ed nOt1On ADDRESSED TO AID. Reeves
and Aid. Shepard of the Eleventh
ward, asking these gentlemen to use
their best efforts to secure the passage
Of this resolution.
The Citizens club believes that it's
members have paid out enough money
by this time to insure ample car serV-
ice on Randolph street.
It was binted at last nights meeting,
that Aid, Shepard is opposed to grant
ing the prayer of his constituents In
the matter Of the car line. The alder
man will be waited upon Immediately
by q committee from the Citizens club
who will urge him to ass st Aid. Reeves
in his endeavors to have the service
reinstated. The committee to wait on
the two aldermen, is composed Of
Messrs. c. Koenig, w. Wessinger, l..
Winters and J. F. Miller.
Attorney S. H. Howell has been re-
tanned by the Citizens club to look
after their interests in the courcil
when the resolution of Aid. Reeves
anent a new horse car service for
Randolph street comes up for discus
sion. 1t may be added that the petit
TONERS do not really expect to get horse
car accommodation. They are simply
asking for this because they cannot
legally demand an electric line. But
they are quite certain the city railway
company will prefer the lesser expense
Of an. electric car service, when their
request for down town transportation
has been allowed.

the salary so fixed could be more than
the amount OF 9athe fees Of any Of the
offices affected,I the law must ipso
facto be unconstitutional. That was
settled by the supreme court In the
suit brought by Ed Bazille, and Is q
recognized principle of law known to
every lawyer that knows beans.
But, SUPPOSE the title of this bill was
the result OF stupidity on the part Of
those Republican lawmakers, six Of
whom were lawyers, instead of being
deliberate scheme TO humbug the
taxpayers OF Ramsey county, what
about the provisions of the bill itself3
Let us see. Sections 2 and 3 Of that
measure speak for themselves. Each
OF them involves a rotten cheat. They
purport to fix the number Of clerks
and deputies in each county office and
to limit the aggregate amount to be
paid them in salaries. How do those
sections undertake that job2 This way:
Every. five years the board Of county
commissioners are, by resolution, to fix
the number and the aggregate salaries
Of the men in each of the county Of
fees, and the number and the aggre-
gate amount so fixed each five years
shall in no case exceed or be less than
than three-fourths'' Of the lowest num-
Der Of employees actually at work and
Of the lowest aggregate amount paid
during the two years prior to the
adoption Of the resolution" Reduction
Is the watchword. And here Is reduc-
ton for you with q vengeance
ton of the number Of employees and
Of the amount paid them.
Every five years the board Of coun-
ty commissioners are called on, under
this spurious law, to adopt g. resolution
reducing the number OF clerks in each
office to three-fourths of the least num-
Der that had been in there for two
years before. Now mark! Every Ave
years the number of clerks was to be
reduced just -one-quarter Of what it
had been during the preceding. And
so with the aggregate amount Of sal
aries in each Office. That was to be
reduced. too, just one-fourth every five
years from the lowest 1t had been for
the two years. preceding. Here is the
endless chain Of reduction Of the num-
Der of clerks and of their aggregate
salaries. 1t was never to stop. Every
five years it was to be made. Just one
fourth struck off each five years. How

To the Lowest bidder.

The board Of water commissioners yesterday
awarded the contract for $5,074 worth OF fuel
to the Charles Nitz Coal company. The firm
was the lowest of four bidders, the figures
being 1918 for Youghiogheny; $3.50 for an
thracite; Sc for maple wood, and IS for pine
slabs.
The board will use 1900 tons of bltumi-
nous coal, thirty tons OF anthracite twenty
two cords of maple wood and twenty cords
of pine slabs.
