LONGER TERMS FOR OFFICIALS.

II is understood, that an effort will be
made ut the next session Of the Lepis-

coroner four year offices the same as
other county offices. It is pointed out
that these two offices should be classed
the same as the other county offices, and
ttis seems to be q favorable argument
in behalf Of the project. The office OF
coroner pays the smallest salary OF anv
OF the county offices and why il should
be classed as q two. year Office with a
party rule that incumbents cannot sue.

cannot understand. The same rule an
