POOR PAY OF GERMAN JUDGES.
The Profession of Law Is Not
Highly HonOred Among
the TeutOns.

The whole question of the remunera-
ton of public officials in Germany, and
especially in Berlin, is beginning to de-
mand serious attention, says the Lon
don Telegraph. English. Scotch or
Irish Judges would be amazed if they
were informed of the misera BILE salaries
81 800 a year is considered above the
average-which their German col
leagues receive for labors which in
MANY cases are far more exacting than
their own. In the days when Prussia
was a small agricultural state and the
standard of life in the towns was low.
such salaries. combined with the honor
OF being Prussian official, may have
been adequate. Nowadays the honor
Of the position is the only attraction,
and able men who are poor find an Off
ciaI career an expensive luxury.
The profession of law, moreover, ex-
cent in its highest official grades, is
not bonored in Germany as it is in Eng
land. VIII it be believed that barris-
fer as such, cannot be received at
court? There is true story of for
eign barrister who was invited to at
tend a court function in Berlin and who
was also requested. in accordance with
the Prussian custom, to state his pro-
fession at the chamberlain's office. He
repIied: at am a rechtsanwaE" (bar-
rister). "Could you. please, give some
other description of your quality?"
pleaded the court official; ''barristers
are not hoffahig ii. e., cannot go to
COURT in Berlin"

The Reason He Sold.

DEAR SIR
On the first day of November / mott
fed my subscribers that l should not he
able to maintain the low rates which
established for my independent tele-
phone exchange and that on the first day
of December l should be obliged to adj
vance the rates to SlS per year. During
the month of December we had a very
severe ice storm which caused me a
great damage, and / have made more
thorough investigation of the actual
cost of maintaining telephone exchange
and l am convinced that with even the
advanced rates and the elements against
me, which should have been taken into
consideration by me in making my rates,
that l should not be able to main
tain my telephone exchange at a profit,
even at the rates which went into effect
on December first.
l had thought all the time that could
maintain telephone exchange at very
much less expense than the New Eng
land, but at the present time have some
doubt in my mind as to whether a small
company can be maintained at less eX-
pense than company doing business on
very large scale. At any rate / was
convinced that | was playing losing
game and after negotiating with the New
England for some time, finally sold my
local exchange to that company and on
January 1, 1901, shall take out all my
instruments and replace with the New
England.
In making this sale and change l have
endeavored to look after the interests of
my former patrons and l am pleased to
say that the New England have evidenced
desire to give my patrons and to the
people of Sanford, as low rates as is pos
sible in order to maintain their good serv-
ice at fair profit and I feel that the
concessions made by the New England
company will be appreciated by every
body in town. They are giving us the
very best service and at rates as low as it
is possible to make them.
For the present l shall look after the
inspection of their lines and wish to as
sure you that shall make every effort
to keep up the standard of service. My
experience up to this time in the tele-
phone business is similar to great many
other independent telephone companies,
who have started in the business with
out having had several years practical
experience.
l wish, however, to thank my patrons
for their favors and support and sincere
ly hope that all will remain with us in
land company.
Respectfully yours,
A. j. ROBINSON.

BLACK AND TAN.
Casual Meeting with n Citizen Who
Wore Shoes That Were Thus
CrOsS-Matched.

Clearly it was not the paying of
freak bet, but freak of fortune, that
had compelled this man to wear the
shoes he had on, which were one black
nnd the other tan. Nor did they match
in shape and size much closer than they
did in color; but they were close pair
in dilapidation, and Thought the man
approached by the wearer of this cross
matched footgear), if that tan shoe
could be blao]1ened they'd do; they'd do
better, anyhow. There was place in
town, he knew, where they did that sort
of thing; that is, where they changed
tan shoes to black, and he told the man
with the odd shoes where this was, as
nearly as he could remember, giving
him, at the same time, a sum sufficient
to enable him to get the shoes thus
mated up in color; not much was re-
quired, because there was here only half
pair to be treated, says the New
York Sun.
Clearly the man with the shoes was
pleased. Despite his seeming lack of
pecundary resources, as evidenced not
alone by his odd shoes but by various
other corroborative indications about
him, he was not an uncheerful person,
but the receipt of the money made him
more cheerful still. As to whether he
would actually devote the money thus
obtained to having that tan shoe made
black, however, OF whether, more OF
less careless of his personal appear
ance, he would spend it for something
else likely to give him greater meas
ure of immediate enjoyment, the gdver
of it found himself unable-with GER
tainty-to determine.

WHY MANY REPUBLICANS ARE WEARY

One reason there many candidates for the
governorshlp, instead of only two, as was at first
probable, is that the members of the rank and file
dissatisfied Not dissatisfied with either of the two
gentlemen who first announced, but with the shape
IN which their candidates. placed by their
friends. The who loves the game of politics
tor itself alone may find pleasure in the factional
strife that has existed in the republican party in
Iowa before and since the recent senatorial fight.
But the plain people of the party, who consider
politics. in the ordinary use of the term. as means
and not an end, are weary They tired Of car
toons picturing Cummins Young, Funk Healy, ct
al, on one side of fence, and Perkins, Shaw Al
Eson, Hull, ct all on the opposite, throwing mud at
each other. They proud of the work of these
leaders. They have intense bitterness of feel
ing toward Mr. Cummns. Nor on the other hand
do they believe that they are but puppets in the
hands Of Mr.. Blythe and the railroads. They have
suspicion that much of this machine and anti
machine talk is cheap stuff, and for political effect
They willing to believe that if political mana
gers become too oAlcious their wings should be
clipped a little but they are opposed to the idea
that in order to do this it is necessary to involve
the good and character of our strongest men,
and to array them in hostile camps in which the
and the honesty of the men on the other side.
This is the reason why the appearance, as candi-
date for governor, of some strong man who has
neither part nor lot in this wearsome quarrel would
be the signal for uprising in the ranks. Per

AS TO THE GovERNoRsH1P.

Numerous inquiries have come from the outside
asto the attitude Of Crawford county republicans
on the governorship. The Review does not pre-
tend to be the whole show in republican circles but
it believes that the feeling in this county is that
harmony is the most desirable thing to promote in
the republican party throughout the state 1t be-
lieves that almost every candidate for governor has
friends and supporters in the county and it knows
of no desire to ''muzze'' any of them 1t believes
the delegation to the state convention will go en-
trey uninstructed leaving each delegate free to
his best judgment, to act for the benefit not of
any candidate but for the best interests of the
republican party. The Review is honest in thus
stating the attitude of Crawford county so far as
has been able to ascertain it. 1t believes that
neither Governor Shaw nor Congressman Conner
have any desire interfere with the free choice of
the republicans of this county or of the district
Their interests do not conflict with those of any of
the candidates and their only desire is for fair play
and the promotion of harmony throughout the
party

PERKINS VS. WELLIVER.

Hon. Geo. D. Perkins has certainly not injured
his chances for the gubernatoria nomination by
the manly editorial relative to his candidacy which
appeared in a recent issue Of his paper the Sioux
City Journal. We believe Mr.. Perkins is an hon
est and conscientious We do not say he
should be nominated for governor, but we do say
that his past services to the party of its
wisest and safest counselors deserve the best and
kindliest treatment at the hands of all republicans
Mr. Perkins has written more platforms for the
party in Iowa than any other living man. He has
been republican in season and out of season. He
has never been subservient to corporate interests
to any other interests at the expense of the par
ty. Those who class him capable of sur
rendering his manhood for the sake OF Office do
him grave injustice Mr.. Perkins will doubtless
be glad to observe that is the old time wheel
horses of the party who doing this. Any man
who knows the history of the party in this state
knows better than to do 1t is the irresponsible
whipper snappers of the Welliver type who
free with their charges and their insults. Mr..
Welliver regards himself of destiny,
of the moving forces for some intangible reform
which consists chiefly in having the great and only
ssud' patted the back more freely and with
greater affection. He is the type that prostitutes
journalism to sensatonalisn. He has certain
amount of brain but is utterly devoid Of conscience
or that even finer instinct which preserves and OBJ
serves the properties of life and that something
called ''nobesse oblige" which no gentleman can
afford to neglect. He is no respector of confidence,
he will accept any favor from any hand and then
smte the hand that favors him. This is the kind
of man who leads the opposition to Mr.. Perkins,
in his own home and among the republicans who
know the men such opposition cannot fail to react
to Mr.. Perkins benefit. Mr.. Perkins may not be
the proper for the nomination this year, but
he is high minded, honest and honorable man;
man in every way superior to his detractors.
