Nomination for justices.

1t has been a some what un-
deterInined question as to the proper
time within which to file certificates
of nomination for justice of the
peace. whether the Office IS a state
office and the nominations should
be filed at Harrisburg or whether a
township or borough office and they
should be filed with the county COM
missioners. If the former then the
certificate should be filed 2s days be-
fore election and if the latter then
Is days. The question has been
decided both ways in the lower
courts, and the state Department.
to avoid controversy advises that
such nominations should be made
prior to Jan % and the certificate fill
ed in the Department, no later than
that date. A certificate should also
be filed with the commissioners be-
fore Feb. ? to avoid question.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER

(From Our Regular Correspondent
WAsHfNGfoN, DC, JAN. sTH. 1900.
The Roberts report will go to the
House this week, and there isn't
the slightest doubt that Roberts will
go back to Utah, wiser, if not a
happier man.
Much Of the testimony taken by
the Senate Committee ON Elections
in the Clark bribery case has been
sensational, but little of it has been
convincing either one way or the
other. A number of the witnesses,
by making statements before the
committee, directly contrary 10
those made by them TO a Montana
grand jury have shown that they
ought to be prosecuted for perjury
The testimony of the whole bunch
made it very plain that the talk of
using money both for and against
Clark, was freely INDUCED in by and
among members of the Montana
Legislature, just previous to Clark, 5
election and there is little doubt in
Washington that it was used, too +,
but no unprejudiced man expects
that the charge of bribery will be
proven against Clark. Bribery is
one of the most difficult crimes to
prove, for t @ very simple reason
that neither briber is apt to convict
themselves nor to carry on the
transaction in the presence of a
third party.

Under u present ordinance the
fiscal year closes on the 3lst day OF
January. Experience has proven that
it is impossible to have the fiscal yeal
close at so late a date, and get the
city report printed as early as the
charter contemplates. Sec. SO of the
charter provides that the city report
shall be published at least two weeks
before the annual city election. Sec.
IL provides that the auditors shall
make their report at least three weeks
before the annual meeting. The aud
ltors have never been able to comply
with these provisions. In their pres
ent report they express the opinion
that they could complete their work
by the 18th of February, provided all
accounts were ready for them to
audit on the LIST day of February.
Even when II election comes as late
as it does this year in March they
could not be allowed the time that
they themselves think necessary,
and in years when the election comes
very near to the LIST day of March, as
1T will and has, they would be allow
ed only about ten days in which to
do their work. During the last year
we had no reason to complain that
the auditors have not worked expedi-
tiously, but we believe that the rec
ommendation they make in their re-
port cannot be complied with, and
that the only way is to make the
fiscal year end either Dec. 3lst or Jan.
and allow more time in which to
get the report out.
