PHONETIC SPELLING.

THE AGITATION which sweeps over

for spelling reform has received an
impetus recently through a meeting
held in Baltimore by a society devoted
to that purpose. We very much

will ever meet with popular favor. The
society would like to reduce spelling
simply to phonetic science.

A " INDIANA JUDGE. Rasch of
Il Evansville, was recently charged
with selling the patronage at his
disposal. He virtually admitted the
correctness of the accusation by an
attempted explanation. He said that
his campaign expenses had been very
heavy, amounting in all to about $4,000.
In order to reimburse himself. in part
at least, he suggested to his appointees
that they contribute. one gave $500
and the other $500.
Judge Rasch was elected in Novem-
Der and his collections were made in
December, before he took his seat on
the bench. It is practically certain,
therefore, although the testimony is
not very clear on this point, that the
contributions constituted a condition
precedent to the naming of the men
levied upon. A sentence used by Judge
Rasch in his defense is remarkable.
when his judicial position is remem-
bered. He said:
This is a development of modern
politics.
1t is. indeed. a development, and a
most unworthy development. What le-
gal or moral right did Judge Rasch
have to spend $4,000 for campaign ex-
penses in the first place? Then by
what right did he parcel out his patron
age to applicants who could best afford
to pay his election expenditures? What
confidence can the bar of Evansville
have in Judge Rasch now? If can
didate for a judicial position sets an
example like this, what may be ex-
pected from the ordinary run OF can
didates?
To say that the judiciary must be
above reproach is to put truism but
tritely. The Raseh case furnishes an
other example of the danger of par
tisanship in judicial elections. The
Herald has long believed that judge
ships should be taken out of politics
altogether, for the effect of politics
on such positions cannot fail to be
hgrtfui.

WANTED--A HIRED GIRL.

THE LONG LISTS OF advertisements

Some Of the advertisements are inter

to the conclusion that she considers
any kind Of cook except a plain woman

used a great many more words to say
a great deal less.
The Herald frankly confesses its in
ability to solve the problem. Salt Lake

THE PACIFIC CABLE.

A CORRESPONDENT asks The Her
z AID for some information about
the Pacific cable. The matter Is one
that has been given considerable news
paper prominence recently, but a rev
words about it now may not be amiss.
The cable ship Silvertown left san
Francisco on Sunday, Dec. IA, bound
for Honolulu and Manila The port
first named was reached late in De-
cember, but rough weather rendered
the splicing Of the cable to the shore
end impossible before Jan. 1. The first
rable messages from Honolulu to the
morning newspapers Of the country
were published Jan. p
The Silvertown is expected to pro-
coed to Manila at the earliest possible
moment. Experts calculate that by
July of this year the last foot of the
line viii have been laid The Pacific
cable was planned years ago by the
late John w Mackay of the Mackay-
Bennett company and the Postal Tel
egraph & Gable company. Mr.. Mackay
had completed all preparations for be-
ginning the actual work of laying it,
when he was stricken with the illness
that terminated in his death.
At that time the cable had been man
ufactured by an English company and
was ready to be wound upon the Sill
vertown's reels, or drums" Immedi-
ately after the death of his father.
Clarence H. Mackay announced that
he would hurry the cable to compile
ton and that it would be monument
to his father. That he is faithfully
carrying out the pledge is evidenced
by the rapid progress of the work In
spite of the rough weather encoun-
tered by the Siivertown she averaged
some seven knots of cable per day on
her trip, and if this rate is maintained,
the balance Of the line should easily be
completed by Independence day.
The Herald has heretofore noted the
fact that the company's contract with
this government under which the cable
franchise was granted, is very liberal.
The United States may purchase the
cable at any time at figure agreed on
by arbitrators, and liberal toll conces-
sions were made. While many citizens
OF the republic regret the fact that the
cable was not laid under government
supervision and by the government,
nevertheless the terms agreed on
amount to the next best thing.

The Lord Mayor and the schnorrer

Importance attaching to the present

ties. In view of the Bristow report
on the postal frauds it appears almost
impossible that Perry Heath will con-

Senator Hanna, however, has stood by

case the latter is not inclined to get

his position by Senator Hanna. In

Many Of the large dealers in Spo-
kane, Disguised with the discrimina-
ton in freight rates against this city,
are receiving large shipments by way
of the American Hawaiian Steamship
company. This is true especially in
the case of unpershable goods. A
difference of from 50 cents to 45 cents
per 100 can be saved on freight in this
way. The rate from the coast to Spo-
kane is about III per 100. The rate
from Seattle to Spokane on local re-
turn is so cents per 100, or $3.50 in
all. This rate exists over the Northern
