Anxious About Salary.

hUOUl SGld-f.
This decision puzzled the incunbcnts,
because they cannot figure out why they
are TO receive only $1,000 year salary,
since the act under which they we're
appointed specifies that they should re-
ceive $1,000 per annum. 1t is true. they
say, that the amendment to the organic
act under which they were appointed
provides that the salaries OF the iU.tices
OF the peace, at some uncertain time
and under some certain conditions, shall
be $1,000 year.
The amendment cannot, however they
contend, be 50 construed as to regu-
late the salaries OF the justices of the
peace appointed under the organic act OF
the code. II Is pointed out as a matter
OF fact that in the amendment which
provides for a salary of $1,000 for JUS
tices OF the peace. in no way. nor on any
terms. nor by any construction of the
language, does Il appear to refer to the
ten justices OF the peace appointed In
December l laat.
Reading OF the language OF the amend
men; plainly indicates that when by
either death or removal from Office the
present number OF justices is reduced to
six. then their salaries shall be 81 GOO a
year. The fact that Congress made no
Appropriation for the payment OF their
salaries at the rate OF 50 900. the JUS
tices contend, does not effect the matter
Proposition Answered.
The proposition is answered by them
with the question, Does the failure OF
Congress to make an appropriation suf
fcient to meet a certain condition. act
as repeal of the original act. by infer
ence, without any reference whatever
being made TO it," The amendment
which states that when the number OF
justices SHAH be reduced to six their
salaries shall be $1,000 year. does not
even by inference, imply that the salary
OF the present incumbents, ten shall
not be $4,000 as stated In the act pro-
Yiding for their appointment In fact
the amendment makes no reference to |
the present officers either by number |
1f by the amount of salary they receive. |
so II appears that with the Justices |
OF the peace protesting against the |
operations OF the amendment in reduc- |
lug their salaries and members OF the |
bar questioning their right TO hold |
office and to exercise the powers of IL |
en- the ground of the unconstitutionallty |
Of their appointment. the whole matter
will be productive of an interesting
legal battle.
The question put to the Comptroller is
plain and unequivocal are there at

Mr. George Ayers. who keeps a lock-

But at Leesburg neither mode was

others lifted the negro from the ground

left dangling several feet above the

Improvement of Corn.

"Uncle Henry" Wallace,is devoting a
good deal of space in his paper Wal
laces' Farmer to the improvement of
Iowa Corn. He calls attention to the
fact that while tho Iowa Farmer has
been improving his live stock for TWEEN
ty years and more he has given very
little attention to the great Iowa crop,
corn. Among the many articles which
this subject has been series by Prof.
Shamel, of Illinois, the corn expert,
and these are illustrated by number
of photographs showing different va
rieties of corn, perfect and imperfect
ears, the most profitable to raise, etc.
The average Iowa farmer thinks he
knows as much about corn as anybody
does but we miss our guess If he can
not learn q lot from these articles In
Wallaces' Farmer.
In this connection we wish to say
that Wallaces' Farmer is one of the
best agricultural papers that comes to
this office. 1t is handsomely printed on
paper of fine quality, filled with at.
tractive illustrations, and IN addition
to Its regular features, Its editorials by
"Uncle Henry" its departments OF

women; contains full reports of the
leading fairs, live stock shows, and
sales, agricultural meetings, etc. 1t is
published weekly at Des Moines, lowe

Falcons In Japan.
In the olden times in Japan all the
daimios similar to the old English
lord) had great sport with falcons. as
they went out to the field to catch other
birds with falcons. The falcons We're
tanned well and used to catch large
birds, mostly cranes When people now
go out hunting with falcons, the men
in charge hold them upon their fin
gers. AS soon as one sees any bird
he lets the falcon rush at the bird; us
soon as the falcon reaches the bird he
bites at the throat and throws the bird
down to the ground. Meanwhile the
holder runs to the place where they are
and catches both of them.
Falcons are not large birds; but, rs
they belong to the eagle family, they
are strong and brave and never afraid
to go at any bird to kill it, but the men

great care in feeding and tanning them.
