Be he high or low, every laborer
should be worthy of his hire. Be

conditions of the contract remain

However, We believe there is a
better way to reach the desired
end. Legislators should be paid
a stipulated salary for the term of
office, and not so much per day;
This -would necessitate a change in
the laws of the state, but there
need be no difficulty about that.

jwould be on the same plane with
the national congress. Of course
this would not entirely prevent
members from receiving pay for
time spent away from the capital,
but it Would prevent the increased
cost of the extended session, that
may be materially lengthened by
absenteeism.
If the legislators theihselves do
not recbgnize the impropriety of
receiving pay for time devoted to
their own business, it is unlikely
that a change of the law in regard
to. the method of paying them
would result in a more regular at
tendance. YeV Ik 0 suggested'
change will tend to so decrease ab
senteeism that the sessions might
not be lengthened to such an ex
tent,as to render the time of ser
vice out ol proportion to the sala
ry. None but capable business
men hre worthy of being legisla-'
tors, and they should at least be
willing to conform fo business
rules while in the service of the
state. It is not business for legis
lators to vote themselves per diem
and then occupy as many days as
tlieyS choose. Surely the : Hme tit
the amount of pay should be defi
nitely fixed. -
A fixed salary for legislators
Would materially facilitate. public
business, and the cost would bs
knowii’at the beginning, of each
session;'regardless of its length.
We liope such a measure will be
introduced:
IT has been decided positively
that a State Alliance Exchange

president of the board of directors:
L. F. Livingston;; vice president.
The location has not been selected,
but Atlanta; AugiiSta, Columbus,

bid for the exchange. In our opin

place for the location of this enter
prise;- _ . ,

Judge David Tebby was killed
at Lathrop, (Jalifornia, last Thurs-.

Marshal; David Nagle. Nagle and
Justice Stephen J. Field were at
breakfast when Judge Terry came’
in, approached ; the table, slapped
Justice' Field’s face, raised his
hand to strike again, when Nagle
drew a piste! and fired twice in
succession. The first shot produced
death, the ball entering Terry’s
heart. MarshafiNagle had been ap
pointed by Cheif Justice Fuller
to protect Justice Field against
Field, who had threatened to do
him bodily harnn Nagle was ar
rested. A. warrant for Justice
Field's arrest was subsequently
served, but he was released on a
