CORRESPONDENCE.
The Labor of An Efficient Corps of
County Reporters,
Enigma Echoes.
Rnioma, May 30.—Dr. Ball killed
a sand hill crane yesterday that meas
ured 0 feet three inches from tip to
tip, was 3 feet two inches high, and
Its beak was 6 inches long.
Miss Maud Patrick, who lias been
visiting relatives and friends here fo.
Home time past, returned to her home
near Douglas, last Saturday. She
has quite a lot of friends here who
regret her return home and who hope
she will pay Enigma another visit
■ere tong.
Everybody are requested to re
member the festival, to he given by
the ladies of the Methodist church at
this place oti the eighth of June.
Keep the date in your mind and at
tend the festival.
Mrs. Regular is now feasting rne
«n amp-beans, Irish potatoes, Squash
es and other garden truck, so that 1
have no cause to complain at the hill
<tf tfarc.
'Capt. Gunn lias ordered himself
one of those “grinding” organ’s, or
<i)rgan«ttB. My advice to him now
is, to procure a monkey and lake the
road.
Mr. N. A. Rodgers, who has been
sick so fong with Typlio tnalarial fe
ver, is still improving, His daughter,
Mrs. R. J. Hellilowcr, now Iiuh the
lever and has been confined to her
bod about ten days.
Mr. J. T. Austin Itstii been quite
nick for several days, but is now im
proving.
Mrs, M. li. Murray has been suff
ering (|t'ilo severely lecuntly with
liemutrltngo from the Iuiijh. bite is
now improving.
Henry Hayes is now the most
quiet man in Enigma. I don’t know
whether Ids tote-lll is Anally over, or
whether this is just the “quiet beforu
the storm.”
Crops of all kinds are doing well
just now, but would he bolter for a
good rant. Gardens, especially, are
needing rain.
least Sunday was Rev. \V. I 1 '.
Hixou’s regular appointment at this
place. He was engaged in u meeting
lit Tiftoti -consequently there was no
preaching here. Ricuui.au.
AVugcs Should lie Reduced.
Tifton, May HO. I see front read
ing the general preseiitlneuks id the
grand jury of Herriett county tluil we
must make and pay our county judge
♦400 a year for his nervines. 1 think
this act of our grand jury a thought
less mistake. I tun aware of the fact
that it is not popular to speak uf mu .It
things publicly, L make the effort fear
lessly and honestly; I am nut seeking
popularity only so far as justice be
tween limit and man is concerned.
Now I want it distinctly undursluod
that I esteem every member of that
grand jury a personal friend, hut. I
mitstjusist they have made a blunder.
I also know the highly esteemed judge
is tny personal friend and lias been
since our dudehood, and whatever Hi
ll tie noe I possess was used in the di
rection of helping linn to gel the po
sition ho now holds, and 1 have never
regretted it. lint live principle I am
looking at is this: Now, in the midst
of a most distressing litmneml famine
when every laborer’s wages has been
minimi/,ed until he cannot live cred
itably, when the incrchnntN profits
are cut to a seuui living and ho must
work all hia lime to soe.ui e that,we are
taxed to pay out county judge a initeli
larger salary than reason and justice
demand ♦100.
Now, suppose we look at some tig-
tares. The county judge 111 regular
courts a year, and the sessions rarely
last longer than one day, which is
< (jmvulcrit-to- 183 a day. Hut some
times an extra court is hold—perhaps
twelve a year -for the trial of crimi
nal causes, which would reduce the
pur diem to ♦10.60. jjlow doe's this
round against fifty and six ty cents a
dy. ‘ •-
'Occasionally, tho judge must have
a jury and some members arc front
tlt« extreme limits of the county. It
takes him and his horse a day and a
half to make the trip to Nashville and
perform one day’s service, for which
he gets $2—thuta is Vi for one and a
half day’ll service for himself and
horae, providing some friend at Nash
vtlle or along his road will cate
for them fro* during the time; other
wise lie gets home with fifty cents.
How does this smoko in your clay
pipe against ♦10.50 a day?
1 freely admit, Mr. Editor, that the
judges are wort!) more than the ju
ror. 1 am perfectly willing to render
unto Caesar what ’is due and unto
the craft what lielongs to the craft.
I confess, too, that it requires special
and costly preparations to be a cred
itable judge of a court. Hut 1 pre
sent llte contrast and, in all candor,
ask if the wages of our county judge
and (tin juror are not altogether out
of proportion?
I have no desire to wound the feel
ings of any one by this article, nor
yet to censure any one, but simply to
point out what l euneeive to be a
thoughtless error, hoping and believ
ing that the proper authority will, in
due time, eltnr,go this chafing condi
tion into, a pleasant one,

The Pension Swindle.
Vkhi-kh. Kan., May 80.—-Through the

amt like Its sentiment- .progression, liul
nearly every copy contains some article
that Is objectionable itml detrimental to

I n your Ihhiio of March lilt there Is an ar
ticle by "H. W. K." and headed "♦30.000,

question, Mow and to whom la this mon
ey saved? You say It la turned hack Into
the United Htutcit treasury, Would It
not be better for the people and the
country If lids money was distributed
among the people and tin roUy lie pul Into
active circulation? Ami Is there any
oihoi channel through which the govern
ment distributes money that comes more
diiccL to the people than through the
pension department Kor example, sup
pose there was enough voturun Union

In thu Male of Kansas there arc 65,000

a democrat or a pupil list who objects to
It. And, my dear sir. you would Ond
