Some fellow, who probably had
nothing more important to do, has
introduced a bill in the Kentucky
Legislature to combine the Offices of
circuit clerk and master commission
er. The Interior Journal is against
the bill for number of reasons, the
greatest of which is it gives circuit
clerk too much power, as we'll as too
much work. 1t would be just as well
to combine the county and circuit
clerk Offices, or the sheriff and coun-
ty judge. AS the master commission
er only gets a per cent, on the sales
he makes and costs neither the
State nor the county anything, we
see no good reason for combining
his Office with that of the circuit
clerk, which would be to literally
abolish the Office of master commits
sioner.

Berlin advices early in October
said that the Prussian Upper
House had rejected the motion to
introduce suffrage based on voca-
tions and had passed an equal
direct suffrage measure in ac-
cordance with the Government
bill, with the addition of an extra
vote for persons more than fifty
years of age.
The House thus modified
article 8 of the electoral reform
bill, which caused the rejection
of the measure by the Lower
House. This article provided for
one vote for each man in Prus-
sia and did away with plural vot-
ing.
