cRuD. METHODS IN FRANCE.

Writer Compares Them With Those
Of This Country.
An American traveller in the south
Of France writes: Every half-mile
we would encounter small two
wheeled sprinkling cart about the size
of barrel. drawn by lad. This at
once provokes Americans to roars of
laughter 1t is such small business
and SO ridiculous. don't you know, to
sprinkle a road 200 miles long with a
sprinkler the size of barrel. True.
this barrel was stamped 'Villefranche.
which Is a little town, and farther
back there was one stamped Men
tone which is also not large place.
All along the road there are many bar
rels. But we do better in our ocun-
try. When the roads near a small
town need sprinkling the supervisors
try to raise the money-and fail. They
try to buy big sprinkling cart which.
with horses and all. will cost about
$2.000-and fail. Then the citizens
try to raise the money by subscription
and fail. Then the country papers
take 1t up and try to raise the money
and fail. Then all hands bemoam
the lack of public spirit and go to
work to get the sprinkling Garland
fail. Here the small towns get sprink-
ling carts and do it by hand. It's true
the operator is only an 1S-year-old boy.
but in many of the small towns in our
country the same boy would be loaflng
around the corner grocery chewing to-
bacco."

The play was Boucicault's Jessie

This was almost the first time that
through the courtesy of the colonel of
the regiment, soldiers were permitted
70 appear on the stage. They marched

behavior and the payment of 1 shil

anwelcome addition to their ordinary
pay. Since then I have met Mr.. At
kins in many scenes of theatrical
bloodshed. He was very strong ut
Bosworth field. At Bosworth on one
occasion there was a mishap which
sorely tried his discipline. Richmond
invited his followers to engage in
prayers. Unluckily the knee joints OF
the armor were unusued to genunec.

kneel they stuck halfway and could
not stand straight again. This de-

catarrh Of the Stomach.

When the stomach is overloaded; when
food is taken into it that fails to digest
it decays and infames the mucous mem
brane, exposing the nerves, and causes
the glands to secrete mucin, instead of
the natural juices Of digestion. This is
called Catarrh Of the Stomach. For
years suffered with Catarrh Of the
Stomach, caused by Indigestion. Doc

Amador ledger., 1903-02-13

The taxpayers of Amador county
will note that every paper in the
county, with the exception of the
Ledger, is supporting the proposed
raise of salary OF superior Judge.
The Amador Record and lone Echo
are both openly advocating this
salary grab game. The Dispatch
for obvious reasons is silent-the
silence that gives consent. The old
frayed-out argument is used that
increase of salary means a higher
grade of talent for the bench. This
is very complimentary to the bench
of Amador county. If the salary of
the past has been inadequate to Sc
cure the services of men thoroughly
qualified for the position, the state
ment is reflection upon the ability of
every one who has occupied that
position in the past. If on the other
hand, competent men have been Sc
cured, and are now occupying the
position, then the content tion that
more pay is necessary to secure
efficient judges falls to the ground.
Our contemporaries have placed
themselves in a dilemma on this
question anyhow.
Amador ledger., 1903-02-13

A bill is before the legislature to
provide a salary for official reporters
in the superior court. The proposed
salary is SIS per month, which of
course is to come out of the county
treasury. For civil cases, the re-
porter is allowed to charge $40 per
day, and Is cents per folio for trans
cribing testimony. We presume
the bill is intended to apply to Anna
dor county. Its provisions may be
all right as far as Alameda and
other populous counties are con-
cerned, where there is work enough
in criminal business to keep the re-
porter busy. But it is all wrong if
intended for Amador and other
counties similarly circumstanced.
Here we do notaverage one criminal
trial in three months. 1t would
simply mean an additional tax upon
the property holders. A bill was
pushed through the legislature at
the last session comforting upon su-
perior courts the power to appoint
an official reporter at fixed salary.
It was knocked out as unconstltu-
tional. Now the legislature proposes
to create the Office and fix the COM
pensation. The trouble with the
average law-maker is that he labors
under the impression that a law
suitable for one county must be suit
able for all. AT the salary named,
the reporter might be poorly COM
pensated in Alameda, but vastly
overpaid in Amador county. In a
county like this, if a fixed salary is
to be given the official reporter, it
should be in full compensation for all
services required, whether civil or
criminal, and whether in superior or
Justices courts. Fees in civil cases
should be collected from civil liti-
giants, and turned into the county
treasury. If such were the law, it
would not be long ere there would
be notable shriviling up of re-
porter's fees in civil cases, with the
inevitable result of cheapening the
cost of civil suits at the expense of
the general public.
