That United States District Judge
ships are not much worth the seeking
by any but mou who have othei
means of support outside tho salary
attached to that oiuo Is evidenced by
tho fact that Judgo Reed, of the
Western District of this state, intends
resigning at the opening of the new
year. He declares that only wealthy
lawyers can aflord to give up their
regular practice and take a Judgeship.
The salary for a District Judge is from
$3,500 to $5,000, for tho Pittsburg Dis
trict being $4,O0P, and a good lawyer
can easily make more than that in the
practice of his profession. Though
"fame, honor, and glory" are very
well, yet men must live, and money
Is absolutely csseutlal; and it is nat
ural that a man will follow tho pro
fession that will bring him in tho
largest number of "mighty dollars"
as long as he has no private fortune on
Which to fall back. For this reason
Judgo Heed will give up his position
on the bench to isome man who will
not place his monetary dependence on
the salary that accrues to'hlm for dis
pensing justice. Congress has been
urged for years past to increase the
pay of District Judges, but as yet
without success.
American prosperity under the
McKlnley bill would be a ievere blow
to tne tree trailers, congress gives a
r
pointer when refusing to give Mills,
the champion of free trade, the lead'
ershlp in the house, by not making
him the chairman of the Committee
of Ways and Means. This simply
means that this Democratic Congress
does not wish Mills to offer a new free
trade tariff meature, preceding the
coming Presidential campaign. It
shows the Democracy are becoming
shy of the extreme policy of Ex-President
Cleveland. The American peo
ple will not sustain Mills and Cleve
land, in tho face of tho great benefits
derived already from tho new tariff".
It would not be a tariff reform to now
change tho new McKlnley tariff.

Among tho many tugge-tinns mado by
he Postmsstor General is ono worthy of

districts and tho appointment of a super
visor in each, whose duty should bo not
only to inspect tbo routes and post offices
merely to correct irregularities that bad
happened, but to exchango suggestions
with all tho omployos of tho service and so
prevent irrogularities.
The result of visitation to tho diff, rent

provod a gratifying success, and much
light has boon thrown on tho management
of 'ho different ifflces and will result in
avast improvement in the sorvico by cor

Tho Postmaster Genoral has suggested to
Congress lhat in liou of accepting tho
bonds of men and women unknown as
suroty for postmasters, that surety com
panies furnish tho security and that suet
bonds should bo paid for by tho govern
ment and not by tho postmastor. llostatos
that in hundreds of cases tho beet mon
cannot tako appointments bocauso thoy
cannot furnish bonds ; and tho man who
receivos tho placo, though rich onough to
mako or get tho bond, is too poor in educa
tion, habits, or disposition to attend to all
tho work of a postmaster, and that tho
amounts of bonds, as a rulo, undor tho

all fairness bo roduced.
