A JUST DECISION.

The supreme court Of Idaho has just
decided that the law passed at the last
session of the legislature under which
the salaries of district judges were in
creased, cannot be made to apply to
Judges who were in office when the
law was passed. The court holds that
under the constitution the salaries of
off1ceholders cannot be increased or di-
minished during the term for which
they were elected. So the effort of the
district judges to violate the constitu-
ton has been frustrated.
The Herald commends the Idaho
court for its decision. 1t was eminently
proper. There was reason for fearing
that the court might decide otherwise,
taking the Utah decision as a basis.
Happily however, the Idaho justices
were not Influenced by the Utah case.
This notwithstanding the fact that the
constitutional provisions respecting sal
aries are identical in the two states.
in Utah the salaries of state officers.
thanks to a decision of our supreme
court, were increased during the term
for which they were elected. Subse-
quently the salaries of the supreme
court and district judges were similar
ly increased, but no test case was in
stituted in those instances.
The Idaho court takes the position
that II a legislature has the right to
increase a salary during the term for
which an official is elected it has also
the right to decrease his salary, to re-
duce it to a ridiculously low figure. The
trainers Of the constitution recognized
this fact. They saw into what dangerous
paths such power might lead. A legis-
lature adverse in politics to state Off
Gals might pass, over the veto of the
governor. a law cutting salaries to
practically nothing. Similarly, COM
PLEASANT legislature might pile salaries
so high for officeholding favorites that
they would become an intolerable bur-
den upon the people.
Besides. as The Herald has pointed
out on other occasions, a candidate who
is nominated and elected by the people
enters into an implied. if not an actual
contract with the people to perform
specified duties for a specified amount
Of money. We know of no business
men who, after agreeing to pay an en-
ploye a certain sum for doing an agreed
piece of work, would give him more
money for doing that work. And GER
tainly the employee would complain bit
terly If given less than the stipulated
price Any court Of competent juris-
diction would award him his money If
he showed that he performed the serv-
ice properly.

cause. This is one of the obligations
imposed upon all fraternalists.
The Herald is of the opinion that
Chief of Police Pitt acted wisely when
he gave Captain Burbidge control of
the department 1t is our opinion that
Captain Burbidge, II he is given half
a chance, viii measure bountifully up
to his opportunity. And he is entitled
to his chance. 1t is greatly to be hoped
that Chief Pitt will stand sturdily in
the position he has taken, that he will
not allow himself to be swayed by I'M
fair and unreasonable attacks upon the
man in whom he has reposed so much
confidence.
The trouble with Burbidge, and the
only trouble that a survey of his long
record discloses, is that he has been
first. last, and throughout a policeman.
It has never occurred to him that the
city paid him a salary for being a pol
iticIan. His idea has always been that
he could not earn his pay unless he at
tended strictly to his duties as an Off
Ger of the law. Burbidge has never
been actively identified with any party
or any faction. He has never done any
work in campaign times for any poll
ticians.
OF course, though, this cannot be the
reason he has been so bitterly and so

oliver AND COMMON SENSE.

With all the friends of silver, The
Herald believes the time is opportune
for a movement in behalf of the gov
eminent purchase and coinage OF the
white metal in considerable amount. No
good reason is offered for refraining
from such coinage. and in the general
agreement that the supply of money is
inadequate for the business needs of
the country lies sufficient argument in
behalf of silver.
But such a movement is certain to
fail of it's purpose. the partial rehab-
i.itation OF silver as money, If the pro-
ponents of the plan insist on handicap
ping 1t with q stipulation that the gov
eminent shall pay price that would
restore silver TO its old ratio with gold.
Such a proposal can only serve to give
the enemies of silver coinage on any
basis justification for opposing any
coinage of the white metal at all. The
party in power and nearly all the east
ern leaders Of both parties would as
soon discuss dissolution of the union
as silver coinage at the ratio of Is to /
30 rabid are they on the subject, so
unalterably opposed to reopening the
question. which they regard as settled
for all time.
The question now is. can the pur-
chase of silver by the government In
quantity be secured? Free coinage on
the old ratio is impossible now. and
common sense calls for the elimination
of that issue from the discussion if sill
yer coinage is to be achieved in any
large measure.

cherries for years will be gathered
this year, and the prune crop will
also be large. The reasons given for
a big cherry crop are that the con-
tinued cold weather of the past
month has prevented blooming. so
that the danger of frosp later in the
season has been greatly lessened.
Last year May Duke and Gov

by March 2S and this year they have
not yet commenced TO bloom. Royal

A little romance of several months
came to a happy consummatlon yes
terday afternoon, when Justice Of
the Peace J. w. Ryan performed the
ceremony that made Actor William
Hutchinson and Miss Pearl Smith
husband and wife.
Months ago pretty Mrs. Hutchin-

gon, while he was playing the part
of a lover in one OF the repertoire
pieces produced by a road company
II was on a night when he put forth
HIS best efforts to create q lasting
impression. Mrs. Hutchinson was in
the audience and appreciated his eff
forts. She did not have much of an
opportunity to make the acquain-
tance of her stage hero. AS he was
about to board the train at Marion,
oregon for other parts she bade him
a heavy-hearted farewell
From that time forth the two kept
up a correspondence, and when Miss
Smith learned that her future hus-
band was coming TO Eureka from
Portland. she resolved to meet him
here. She sailed on a steamer and
arrived in Eureka shortly before the
coming of Hutchinson and the Mack
Swain company.
When the company opened an en-
gagement at the Ingomar she was on
hand, and every night she could be
seen sitting at the first entrance with
her husbands lines in hand, prompt
Ing him when necessary, and ap-
plauding him when he was deserving
of praise.
The climax came when Hutchinson
said he was going away with the

meeting on their way James Wright,

way to the Justices court.
