been compiled, comprising fine pianos
has just been issued by Lyon & Healy.

Webers, Krakauers, Washburns, Sterl
ings, Huntingtons and other we'll known
pianos. Moreover, the particulars of
each instrument are given, so that the
buyer may Judge for himself whether or
not the piano is bargain.
This list will interest persons who want
very good piano, for the reas GU that
many of these instruments are slightly
used in name only, that is, they have
had exhibition use in show windows or
have been used for brief periods in ar
lists studios.
The prices quoted are pheuomenally
low. Lyon e. Healy are making de-
termined effort to close out s. 'eral hun
dred instruments of this Seacription
within the next 80 days, aud the prices
have been reduced very materially.
Send for copy of this list. If you do
not wish to pay all cash for piano, You
can arrange for monthly payments on a
portion of the price. The only difference
in the cost would be per cent on de-
ferred payments. Address Lyon q

If ST. 500 per year is reasonable
salary for the average congressman,
then it would seem to stand to reason
that 500 600 ger annum would be a
reasonable compensation for the arduons
services of competent circuit Judge. If
what il den0minated reasonable were,
as a rule, reasonable, it wonlG be
generally conceded TO be reasonable that
reasonable compensation for services
should bear a reasonable relation to the
quality and quantity of the services
rendered
1t is upon this proposition that the
PILOT predicates the assertion that, if
$500 per year is a just and proper
salary for the average congressman,
then $50 900 per annum would not be
too much for the services rendered by Il
learned, hard working, conscientious
state circuit Judge.
A circnit judge works four times as
many hours per year ~ does the average
congressman. A circuit Judge is ever
up and doing and this is more than
can be justly said Of the average con
gresham A circuit Judge must be Il
man of large education and wide and
accurate legal knowledge and training,
many congressman know almost nothing
about the principles of law, and little
about orthography and grammar, to
say nothing about their deficiency in
general information and culture A
circuit Judge must always be on the
alert during a trial His thoughts must
never wander. When all others in the
court room, including witnesses jurors
and lawyers manifest symptoms Of
euuui on tedium, the presiding Judge
must ever exercise voluntary attention
in the absence If all fayoring stimuli
H. rau never permit himself to lose the
dutt Of things during the course Of u
rial He cannot afford TO relax the ten
sion Of his mental faculties for singls
minute during u long and tedious trial
when testimony is being taken by the
barrel and decisions and authorities are
cited by the bushel. He must fortlfy
himself against the benumbiug influence
Of weary lawyers with endlesstongue5
How different are these strenuous re
quirements from the frttering away of
time by the average easy going much
banqueting congressman And these
differences should be recognized in the
shape Of commensurate differences IN
the salaries paid

CATCHES DEER AND TROUT.
Fisherman Breaks the Record for One
Line in Days Sport.

To kill a deer and catch a trout at
the same time out-Nirmods and out
lzaaks Walton. A fisherman has just
done the trick on the Arrow lakes,
says the Toronto Globe The deer
weighed 200 pounds and the trout ten.
The fisherman was trolling for trout
when several deer swan past his boat.
One was an old buck and the man
managed to catch hold of him as he
was going by.
Having no gun, he tried to kill the
animal with a claspknife. The buck
objected so strenuously that he got
away swimming off with the fishing
line upon his horns. The fisherman
bailed out his boat and started in pur-
suit After two hours rowing he
caught up with the deer and with oars
and knife succeeded in staying it.
While the chase was proceeding a big
trout got on the hook and after the
deer was safely landed the fish was
secured 1t is quite a common occur
renee to see deer swimming in the
lakes of British Columbia, but to cap
ture one and a trout at the same time
is infrequent

As election day approaches, INTEREST," IN
local politics gets 10 be increasingly IN
evidence. This is as it should be. he
newed interest in the affairs OF the ma
ton once in two years or once In four
years; rekindled interest in state and
county politics biennially; revival OF
interest in town, village and city affairs
annually. these signs indicate political
health in country in which a large
percentage of the body polite can vote
at elections. Without such renewal OF
interest in municipal state and federal
affairs no real progress in the art and
science of popular government could be
made; and the principle Of local self
government could not be successfully
reduced TO practice.
1t stands to reason that good men
stand a fair show TO be elected to office
when the electors take live interest N
political matters But it will be gener
ally conceded that good men are rarely
placed in office in a community where
electors act as though the government
does not concern them. Where such
want of interest on the part of the aver
age voter abtains, there grafters and
self seekers will get themselves hoisted
into office.
The average Manitowoc voter takes
a live interest in municipal affairs.
This as the spring election approaches,
becomes increasingly manifest. Men
here are often propounding the question,
Who will be Manitowoc's next
mayor" The merits of actual, possible,
or prospective candidates for aldermen
are being freely discussed at the present
time.
Every voter should exercise Judgment
and caution in the matter of signing
nomination papers The voter, before
signing "A nomination paper, should con
slider the honesty, integrity, intelligence,
conscientiousness and practical ability
of the person for whom the paper is be
ing circulated.

which probably cost them few cents
more.
Since the catalogue house has
sprung into the commercial world and
begun operations In the United States,
all kinds OF schemes have been tried
and worked 10 get the money from
the people that are always looking Tor
bargains No expense has been spared
in their struggle for the almighty dol
lar OF the country people, and they
have been so far successful, at the
great expense OF the home town of the
people that sent their money to these
concerns.
Magazines have been started for
the sole benefit Of the catalogue house,
and these circulated among the coun-
try people at ten or 10 cents year.
They build up a circulation on this
low price Of hundreds OF thousands;
this circulation brings to them mil
lions OF dollars in advertising from the
catalogue houses and this money ex-
pended for Advertising is more than
doubled from the sales OF these con
Germs to the country people who are
losers by the transaction.
Catalogues are sent out telling the
people that the house from which they
came is the cheapest place in the
country 10 buy, and 1t is, If the person
receiving this catalogue wants cheap
article, not only In price, but also in
make and material The farmer re-
ceives this catalogue, looks it over,
and after reading the well composed
guarantee or assurance that the goods
described in 1t are the very best that
can be found anywhere, sends in an
order The house receives the order
and Immediately ships the articles
wanted The farmer drives many
miles to get them and when the box is
opened It Is found TO contain some
thing much below his expectations,
but this does not satisfy his mind on
the fact that he has been duped and
that he is not getting his full money

treated the same as the first one. but
still he may think that he has saved
money by buying II whore he could
get 1t cheap.
Al the same time the merchant at
home has the goods on the shelf in
his store waiting for them to be taken
away SO that he can replace them with
newer goods, thereby keeping his
stock fresh and up.to-date, If he has

The above head is a subject tsat
can well be treated as open for DIS
cussion and consideration at any ana
all times. 1t is also a subject that
should interest all persons who nave
at heart the welfare OF the community
in which he lives and who wishes to
see it grow and prosper.
No person can afford to do what he
knows will work an injury to the com
munity in which he lives. In justice
to himself he cannot refuse his sup
port TO the home industries that are
striving for existence and the welfare
of the town In which he goes to do his
trading.
In considering this question 1t
should be borne in mind that the coun'
try people, like all other American
citizens, are always on the lookout for
a place to invest their money that
will bring them the biggest returns
for the least expenditure; in this they
are right and are justified In so doing,
but. at the same time thev should re-
member thst they are dependent on
the home merchant for the money that
they send to foreign markets.
If they should stop to think how
these catalogue houses are operated,
and look into, and know, the tru. con-
dition OF affairs, probably they would
recons der the stand they had taken
iowa. them. In many cases the peo-
pie are ignorant of the true surround
ings and inside operations OF these
concerns and think they are doing
right in sending them their money
They are led 20 believe that what they
get from the catalogue house is the
same article that the home merchant
sells. only at much lower price. The
majority OF the people do not know
that they are buying the cheapest
article that can be manufactured and
