Sam Trsbby, who was city attor-
ney last year, has q suit pending
against the city for his salary. The
city Ia fighting It's payment, and Mr..
Trebby resents it. So he sues the
city sixteen times on y bunch Of
small orders that have an average
value Of about 81. The cases will
come before the Justice court Mon
day next. .S. \ B, 8 ,s8s
For several years the city revenue
fund has been short, but the treas
urer has registered the orders and
paid them in the order Of registra-
tion with the legal rate Of interest:
The orders were bought and sold at
par, so those who had dealings with
the city had no complaint or loss
But the proceedings has not been
considered as under authority Of the
charter, and any one holding an or
der is supposed to have q right to
begin suit when payment is refused,
and obtain iudgment-w hich judg-
ment would bear the same rate Of
interest as the city was paying on
orders. But q Judgment must be
paid before funds are used to pay
registered orders. There will also
be costs attached to every suit; the
amount probably being about s..
That is a rather heavy percentage
for the city to pay on 81 orders.
1t is not probable that the city
will be bulldozed into paying sal
aries that it regards as unjust, even
to escape heavy costs on other
cases. But it is not known just
what policy will be pursued.

buyer of city orders, and says that

SOlStrlCI mas Cdlleu d JuuASldA
convention, the possibilities are
shat the party will make a par
tisan nomination against Judge
ssSearle, who has been nominated
sby petition for reelection. The
Transcript regrets that an at.
tempt is again being made to.
employ party machinery in Sc
lecting Judges in this district,
but we are confident that the
results will be discouraging to
/. the present Democratic promo
ters as was the outcome of a
previous partisan movement to
the Republicans who engaged
in about the same kind of an en-
,terprise many years ago. The
emphatic disapproval that the
people placed on the effort of
Republican politicians to defeat
the Democratic Judge, Hon. l..
l.. Baxter, in 1886, discouraged
partisan movements in the judi
-cial matter Tor many years, and
the Democrats who are. now
shaping the NOV emeat against
Judge Searle will receive an en-
phatic rebuke if the effort ever
gets as far as the polls. e.:
Judge Baxter was appointed
by Republican governor, the
other Judge in the district being
a Republican. When the cam
paign of 1886 opened some Re-
publicans decided to place a
Republican candidate against
Baxter, and J. P. Williams, of
Fergus Falls, was selected.
There was no popular demand
for a change, any more than
there is now. The people we're
satisfied with Judge Baxter, as
they are now with Searle. The
district was Republican but.
Judge Baxter was reelected by
a majority of thousands. It
was the first and last time that
the Transcript felt itself justi-
fed in boiling a Republican
nomination. 1t heartily sup.
ported Baxter for a second
term, against the Republican
nominee. It opposed the hold
ing of Republican conventions
in 1892 and 1898, when Baxter
was in the field, and if any Re-
publican nominations had been
made, the Transcript would Ger.
tainly have supported Baxter.
And at this time some of the
leading Democratic newspapers
in the district oppose any Demo
cratic nominations, and will
support Judge Searle regardless
of any polical arrangements
that are made to oppose him.
Judge Searle is generally
satisfactory to the people ofthe
district. He is an honest, able
and popular judge. It is un-.
pleasant to have the ,judgeship
dragged into partisan politics,
and It is apparently necessary
to teach a:few Republican and
Demo cratic politicians that it
us Improbable. The people of
the district are ready to again
impress that lesson. It was
learner so Thoroughly in 1885
that it is hardly yet forgotten,
and most of the leaders in the
present movement were not
familiar with with the very en-
phatic disa pproval Of the form
er effort, "a little experience
will convince them that the
voters Of the neither party in
/ this district will blindly follow
party conventions to carry out
political plans to defeat eth Fl
Judge Baxter or Judge Seatle.
