TIE primary election bill will be consid-
cred to-day by the Senate committee on
elections in open session. at which citizens
who have any suggestions to make regard
ing the measure can be heard. The bill
was prepared by "A committee OF the Com
meFciai Club. Of which Hon. A. c. Harris
was chairman. and has received careful
attention. 1t is decided Improvement over
the Joss bill of last session, and may be
further improved. An amendment will be
suggested to-day which ought to be adopt
cd AS now drawn the bill provides that a
board of four primary election commission
ers shall be appointed by the Judge OF the
Circuit Court, whose terms shall all expire
at the same time. The proposed amend
ment Is thar they shall be appointed re-
spectively for one. two. three and four
years The advantage OF this plan is that,
as only one member OF the board would go
out each year, II would be a continuous
body and could never be organized with
reference to any particular campaign or
election. as might possibly occur IL the
members were all appointed at the some
time for the same term. 1t is believed the
friends OF the bill will recognize the merit
Of this amendment.

escorted 10 the arch by Baron Won Der
Gotz and he poured out a libation In honor
of the dead man. He then spoke as fol-

This monument Is TO be warning to the

Of peace"

These two speeches were read in German
and in Chinese. After the dedication the
Grman troops marched under the arch

SUPREME COURT JUDGES, SALARIES

Senate bin No. 70, as favorably reported
by the committee to which 1t was referred,
increases the salaries of the judges of the
Supreme Court from $500 a year to $500,
and those of the judges of the Appellate
Court to $500. The present salaries are
inadequate, and the proposed increase is
reasonable. Economy in public affairs is
always desirable. but it should be ap-
piled with wisdom. The place to APP
ply II is in cases where large expendi-
lures are proposed to be made recklessly
or for unnecessary or useless purposes 1t
is not true economy to attach inadequate
salaries to important public positions which
demand high order of technical or pro-
fessional ability. and which occupy the
time of their incumbents to the exclusion
of all other business. The Constitution pro-
vides that no mans services shall be de-
manded nor his private property taken by
law without just compensation. This in
effect pledges the State to full compensa-
ton for every kind of service. True.
person who accepts an office with salary
attached contracts to perform its duties for
a fixed compensation, but it is none the
less the duty of the State to measure the
salary of an office according TO the impor-
lance of its duties, the order of talent re-
CURED to fill II and the States ability to
pay. There is not a citizen of the State
who would approve of fixing the salaries
of judges OF the highest courts so low as
to make 1t impossible to secure frst-class
lawyers for the bench, yet everybody
knows that nowadays many first-class law
yers make more at the bar every year than
the combined salaries of all the Supreme
judges. Lawyers who are competent for
the position make a personal sacrifice in
accepting 1t. The State ought not TO ex-
pect this Members of the States highest
court of appeals should receive conpen-
sation commensurate with the dignity of
the State and with the Importance of the
duties required OF them. The Sunday Jour
nal quoted from a letter by one of the Su-
preme Court judges in New Jersey resign
ing the position because he could not afford
to make the personal sacrifice involved in
holding IT, Yet the Supreme judges In New
Jersey are paid $1,000 year Massachu-
sets pays her Supreme judges 5000 a
| year and Illinois pays hers $500 New
| York has a Supreme Court and Court of
| Appeals. The chief justice of the Court of
Appeals is paid $4,000 a year and the six
associate justices sls,7Oo each. There are
twenty-five judges of the Supreme Court,
of whom twelve are paid 1880 a year and
| ten $500 each. The judges of the Supreme
and Appellate courts OF Indiana work as
hard and deserve as good pay as those of
| any other State.

General Pleasant A. Hackleman was one
of the most gallant soldiers furnished the
cause of the Union by Indiana, and his
name richly deserves any honor that may
be bestowed upon it, but since the President
and the secretary of war have indicated a
purpose to name the proposed post at In
dianapolis for General Benjamin Harrison
would it not be just as well not to invite
them to designate it something else?

LONDON, Jan. 1s.-Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain's frank admission that he
started for South Africa with the idea of
obtaining a much larger war contribution
from the Transvaal than the one he has
secured explains the rumors which have
been current for the last few days that his
mission had resulted in disappointment to
himself. and although the arrangement
completed meets with hostile criticism in a
few sections of the London press, on the
whole it is favorably received because it
is recognized that If Mr.. Chamberlain had
not gone to South Africa no contribution at
all might have been forthcoming, and also
because the contribution is not forced, but
voluntary on the part of the Rand inter-
ests. Great relief Is also felt that every
thing possible is being done TO avoid the
introduction of Chinese labor into the col
onieS.
The comment in the papers this morning
on Mr.. Chamberlain's Johannesburg speech
shows ii to be regarded as one of his most
brilliant efforts, breathing the best hopes
for the prosperity and the tranquility of
the new colonies.

GIBRALTAR, Jan. 1s.-The North Ger
man Lloyd steamer Lain, Captain Nal
chow. from Mediterranean ports for New
York, went ashore at o'clock this morning
at Tumara, ten miles east of the rock or
Gibraltar. There was heavy fog and rain
was falling at the time. On board the
steamer were hundred saloon passen-
gers and 200 emfgrants. She is in no
danger, as the weather is moderate. There
is heavy sea, but the Lain is stern-on to
the seas All attempts to float the Lain
have been unsuccessful. The steamer prob
ably will be compelled to tranship her pas
sengers and cargo. The attempt to pull
her off was made at high water by the
British Admiralty tug Energetic, the United
States cruiser Hartford and the tugs Newa,
Hericlades and Hercules, but the Lain re-
NAMED fast on the sandbank.
The correspondent of the Associated Press
tonight interviewed the agent of the SAL
wage company here. He said:
THE stranding of the Lain is attributed
to the thick weather and the heavy rain.
When off Tumara. east of the rock of Glib
raltar, before daybreak, the Lain unex-
pectedly stranded on sand bank"
The heavy easterly weather which pre-
vailed tlis morning shifted TO the westward
this afternoon, and the sea is now calm.
The tugs continued their fruitless efforts
to pull OFF the Lain all day. The Energetic
and Hartford left for the scene OF the wreck
this afternoon. The Hercules returned to-
night to procure laborers and lighters to
begin the work of discharging the Lain s
cargo Immediately.
The passengers on the Lain number about
one hundred in the saloon, mostly Ameri-
cans, and about 200 Italian emigrants In
the steerage. All the passengers still
on board the vessel. They are quite safe,
provided the wind holds in the west
Another attempt to float the Lain will be
made with the morning tide Should the
wind shift to the east the steamers posi-
ton would be critical. The Gibraltar life-
boat ship, to be prepared for an emergency,
has had boats at the Lain all day.

Further Details of the JOhannesburf
Speech on Saturday Night.

Speech on Saturday Night.
JOHANNESBURG, Jan. 1s.-In the course
of his remarks at the banquet given here
yesterday evening to Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain in the historic Wanderers
Hall, Mr. Chamberlain explained at length
the details of the financial settlements with
the new colonies The principal features of
this settlement already have been an
nounced.
According to further reports of the colon
ial secretarys speech he said, after ex-
pressing his hope that the colonies would
deal with the matter in a manner looking
to the interest of both South Africa and
the empire. that all his information led
him to believe that the Beers were settling
down to recover their position and repair
the damages of the war with the resolution
Of their race He painted in glowing colors
the promising prospects of the colonies,
when development shall have reduced the
cost of living and when race prejudiceS
shall have died out
Abiding to the position of the people OF
johannesburg, Mr.. Chamberlain said they
should no longer be reproached with being
cosmopolitan money seekers who did not
| aspire to settle in the country.
Speaking of the details of the financial
| proposal the colonial secretary said IT must
| be borne IN mind that all the propositions
| hung together, that one part could not be
| separated from another. There was no
| doubt in his own mind among those
| whom he had consulted that the revenues
| of the Transvaal would be ample to provide
| a service debt The action of number
| of South African financiers in subscribing
| the first S50,000.000 without commission or
any preferential security for the remainder
| of the loan had rendered the success OF
| the loan on the London market quite GER
| tain.
He believed the people of the mother
| country would accept the war contribution
| as an adequate and liberal recognition OF
| the Transvaal's duty to the empire and
| value ii more for the spirit in which ii was
| offered than for the relief 1t was likely to
afford the exchequer.
| Mr.. Chamberlain then explained that no
| war contribution had been asked from the
| Orange River colony, whose revenue was
| only sufficient for ordinary expenses, but
| that i'm the probable development of the
country he thought it would not be unfair,
| a few years hence, to ask for moderate
| contribution if the resources justified it.
