Tho salary Question.

Even the county salary demand
has two sides to 1t. While there
seems to be a general clamor for it,
yet there are features that are all
most dissuasiye. Take the prosecute
ing attorney. A straight salary
means that the people foot the bill,
while, as the law now is, the man
who is tried and convicted foots it.,
If, he has any thing to recover from,
Take the county clerk. He charges
the man who has deeds and other
papers recorded. Under the salary
plan men who may never have a deed
recorded will help foot the bill for
the fellows who do have them put to
record. Take the constable. He
collects from the person whose goods
he levies on and not from the neigh
bors. How about the sheriff? He
gets his money for collections in pro-
portion TO the collections. In his
case, If he gets too much the law
could easily be made such as would
give him a just compensation only.
In fact, the amount OF fees should
always be specified by law and none
should be allowed to charge more.
1t does seem that the man who has
the work done. or who is the cause
of the work, should do the paying,
il at all practicable. 1t is hard
ship on the man who does not have
such work done or cause 1t to be
done to have to pay for what another
does haye done or has caused to be
done.
"A pretty fair sample of this is the
system of Jail fees, though, ofcourse,
there. is excuse for this, owing to the
fact that they come under the police
power and duty OF the state. But,
1t does seem a hardship that peace
able men should have to pay for the
other fellows. and yet, we reiterate
that there is excuse for this owing
to its being for the public safety.
These features present themselves
upon q casual glance of the subject,
but they are certainly potent enough
to cause care, caution, thought and
investigation, before yielding to a
popular demand, which might not
explain itself satisfactorily, except
that the idea has been advanced that
the salary principle is correct.
But, whatever may come of it, the
Telegram with all others of fair
mindedness and belief in reasonable
compensation for public or other SER
vice, hopes that only such action will
be taken as will promote the efficiency
of the public service, guarantee its
reliability and give just compensation
to those who perform that service.
None ought to ask for any thing
other.

Greatest Lumber Cut.

More lumber was cut in the United
States last year than in any other
year in its history. The enormous
amount of $780, 1896 board feet was
produced, and the mill value of this
was $621,151,38SS In addition,
there were produced 1853, 900
shingles. valued at $24,155,555 and
1872, 100000 lath, valued at Sill
490,57O. On the whole, 1t is safe
to say that the present annual lum-
Der cut Of the United States approx
mates 40 billion feet and that the
total mill value of the lumber, lath,
and shingles each year produced is
not less than $7OO,OOO,OOO. These
figures give some idea of how vast
is the lumber industry and how great
is the demand for its products.
A glance at the kinds of lumber
produced shows very clearly the
passing of white pine and oak, one
the greatest softwood and the other
the greatest hardwood which the for
est has ever grown. Since 1899 the
cut of white pine has fallen of more
than 40 per cent, while that of white
oak has fallen off more than SO per
cent. Today yellow pine leads all
other woods in amount >cut. while
Douglas ffr-and this will be a sur
prise to many-comes second. Since
1899 the cut of Dougras fir has in
creased 1856 per cent. Louisiana is
the foremost yellow pine State, with
Texas, Mississippi, and Arkansas fol-
lowing in order. Washington pro-
duces by far the greatest amount of
Douglas FIR.
A comparison of the lumber-pro-
ducing States shows that since 1899
there have been many changes in,
their relative rank. Washington,
which in 1899 stood sixth, now leads,
while Wisconsin, which eight years
ago led all others, is now third. In
the same period Oregon, Louisiana,
Mississippi. Idaho, and California
made great strides as lumber-produc-

EntltIed 70 Their Wand.

There is no question that the peo-
pie should have what they want.
This principle applies as,to the liquor
or no liquor agitation. But. what
they want should be regulated by the
people, and legally through their
representatives Limestone roads
are doubtless a good thing in one
county at least the people want
and have them, while in other coun-
ties sand and gravel roads are best
and the people will have no other.
Some counties grow huckleberries
and look upon such CROPS with fond
favor Other counties discounten-
ance such crops. The state does not
undertake that such must be grown
or not grown. and, the state only
steps in with such regulations as will
tend to prevent injury, hardship and
injustice. or infringement on the
rights of others, which act is per-
fectly proper, in fact, absolutely
necessary.
AS to the sale of liquor, there are
counties in the state whose majority
OF population seem to demand that
the people of the county shall have
their beer, their drinks. Many
miles away is county that does not
want any thing to drink, at least not
within its own confines. Local OPP
ton would meet the demands in both
instances and one county's operation
would not interfere with the other.

A detective is justified in being a
fruit-tree agent, when he so cleverly
accomplishes the confession and ar
rest of a man who burns buildings to
take out some personal spite. Mr..
Geigan has the distinction in this

tree agent and detectiye.l The per-

ten what he set out to get.

One of the inconsistencies of the
anti-saloon movement is that the
head of the organization leaves his
own city to go to another to make
war, on the liquor business, and so
far as results are concerned in his
own city there is nothing doing with
him. Wide-open Parkersburg and
Wheeling injunctions tell the story.

HEARDON CHANGE

The situation in the local stock market
il very similar to that of the general
market A recovery rapid but gradual
from the low levels of the panic period
has been accomplished. and that. too.
without a large volume of trading. 1t is
evident to observers of the market that
while manipulative influences have been
factor in bringing about this result
yet it was only in a comparatively linn
tied way.
At the same time there has been an al
most entire absence of speculative buy
ing, so that the remarkable recovery. In
some cases amounting to 20 points and
upward has been due in the main to the
natural recoil from conditions which no
longer exist and the restoration to
level which is more in accordance with
actual values.
1t is said from the course Of the mar
ket during the time Of recovery. in the
opinion Of competent judges. that the
liquidation which was necessarily que 10
the general falling off in prices was &C
complished some time ago. and evidence
of such a condition Is found In the COM
paratively small amount of securities
that have come out during the existing
rising market.
Il Is concluded that the holders Of Sc
tain and protect them. and that they are
either in the position of those who have
bought at even better figures than those
which now prevail or that they await
still higher market. At any rate. 1t IS
pointed out. the supply is not large one.
and the gradual upward movement.
does not seem TO increase IT, What
would happen if a counter movement
should set in is Of course only matter
of conjecture.
1t may be said there are collateral con-
ditions which are favorable. such as the
increase in the cash resources OF the
financial institutions, but with no
special encouragement for speculative
purchases on the part Of customers. Then
there is also a steady growth In invest
ment buying and a readiness to take
good bond issues. which is sign of re-
turning confidence as we'll as of easier
money conditions.
The general situation of business
throughout the country. while showing
some improvement is still unsatisfactory.
but it is believed there is gradual i'm
provement. so that the outlook from this
standpoint is rather encouraging than
otherwise.
