The House fee and salary bill was reported by the committeeone day last week. The varipus salaries proposed iu this county-, with the increase or decrea.se over the law of 1891, are as follows: Clerk fl,400; increase SSO. Audit- , or, $1,600; increase SIOO. Recorder, SI,OO0 f increase SIOO. Treasurer, $1,200; decrease SSO. Sheriff ZZsl,4oo; increase $l5O. The.sso decrease in the salary of the Treasurer is considerably more than made up by allowing him 4 per cent, for the collection of delinquent taxes. The officers have to pay their own deputy hire out of these salaries, which for the most part, will cut them down very materially.

A bill has been introduced into the state senate to amend the Australian ballot law. It proposes to restore the old method of scratching. It provides that in order to vote a straight ticket the voter shall stamp the square containing the emblem. When it is desired to vote a mixed ticket the voter shill stamp the emblem over the ' ticket that he desires to vote in the main, and stamp the squares opposite the names of any of the —therandidates on the b'tller tickets for whom he desires to vote. This was thy method provided when the Australian ballot law first went into effect, and it wss a bet' er method, and much less likely to lead to mistakes, than thescratching method which succeeded it.

An excliauge suggests that it would be a g >od thing if jlie present state legislature weir to efhict a lav, requiring railroads to carry passengers at the rate i f not to exce d two rents per mile, instead of the present rale of three. It estimates that the increased travel at two cent would fully niake nj> for die reduction in the. rale; in tl r c same manner that the r- - ducti » i of letter posinge, from three to two cents is said.to -ji vis incre ;Sed tin' patronage of. tlie post » Hi.o enough to iuake gfa-d. the loss frotn tl e reduction, W e believe that tlnwe is rt geo.] deal of s< rseiit his eU'_g't ion. Ihe reduction <•£ passengt r rates to two cents a mlie would certainly greatly bene tit the general public,J and as for iho railroads, they would l o largely if > <<t fully receompeii's* d by the increased travel. And it the legi,-liiture, while making the reduced pa-stnger rate, I should couple it with stringent | laws that would wholly and eu-j tirely do away wi.lh the pernicious I free pres system, the railroads as well as the general public, would surely be better Off than they now are.

In many respects the scientific problems of today have served to muddie the minds of the people and many are ready . to declare they “don’t know a little bit,” but the time is not far distant in which things that are now obscure will be comprehensive to all persons who are capable of an idea. What is hypnotism will soon be answerable and comprehensible. and it is proving to be a very useful agency in the treatment of almost all kinds of diseases. By it the lame may be made to walk, the deaf to hear and the blind to see, and the so-called miracles of two thousand years ago will be common to all observing people. Paralysis and insani y are also being succ- tsfully tr» ated by this new agency. A tie usand years In-m now sickness wiJI be unknown, and persons will die only of <Jd age.—Rochester lb publican. y '1 h re is, no doubt, much troll in t) eh! ove. In fact we see no good reason why the advent of the g<ml tinny e ming, predicted by j

our Rochester philosopher, should not have been put at 100 years’'instead of 1000. At the rate of progress that has been made during the last 25 years iu understanding the true nature of diseases, as well as in the it would seem that but comparatively few y&ars more need elapse before the “healing art will have substantially vanquished most diseases, in all civilized countries

The project for a ship canal to connect Lake Michigan and the Wabash river, has assumed a good deal more of prominence lately. The proper committee of the national House of Representatives has reported in favor of appropriating SIO,OOO to make the needed surveys and to find the best route. In this connection we notice that, according to the latest reports from Washington, the canal, if built, is not likely to follow the route proposed by Prof. Campbell, which would have taken it across the northeast corner of Jasper county. The indications are now said to favor the selection of a route surveyed by Lieut. Gillespie, in 1875. It is held that the route favorec by Prof. Campbell will not do fit all, because it would take so much

water out of the Kankakee river as to greatly damage the navigation of the Illinois river, of which the Kankakee is the principa source; and also the water supply of the cities situated on the Illinois. This objection is a very reasonable one, and will be almost certain, in our judgements to prevent Congress from ever appropriating money to build the cana on Prof. Campbell’s route. In Lieut. Gillespie’s route, mentioned above, the caual would leave Lake Michigan at Michigan City, and would keep so far east as not—to materially affect the Kankakee river. . . . A The Nichols >n temperance bill, as amended by the committee, was published fast Saturday. It is a measure a long ways in advance of anything we now have on our statute books, but still is not so Judical as ■-to be so far in advance of public opinion, as to make its provisions unpopular as to be iurffi-ctive, as a more rad cal law might be. One of its most important and most eoinuiendible provisions is that which is intended to dp away With the "wine rooms” that are so frequent and so demoralizing a feature of many city fialoons. An> > t her very im po rtan toneis th a t which prohibits all kinds of games and gambling devices in saloons. And the saloon must be kept separate from all other kinds of busi-

I ness. 1 During all days and hours when file law requires them to be closed, the saloons must be kept securely locked, and no j erson but the proprietor shall, be admitted into j the saloon during these times, j under severe penalties. | Saloons must be on the ground floor or basement, and the fronts must be so arranged with windows or glass'doors that the whole interior can be seen from the street, and all screens and blinds must be removed during days or hours when the law requires the saloon, tj Le closed. Violators of this and other sections are severely fined, may be jailed, and their licenses must be revoked/

Minors loitering about saloons uro tQ be fiued not less than $5 nor more than SIOO, and may get a jiil dose, besides. People who waut to “rush de growler” can’t send their children after the liquor anymore, as its delivery to them is strictly prohibited. All peace officers must enforce the provisions of this law. No person can have more than one saloon license, and the license shall be in the name of the actual proprietor "of hie business. No a'ents go. Applicants for licenses must have actually and jonti luously resided in the township s x months, prior to the application.

Most radical ot all, is the local option feature of the bill. Under it, if a majorityof the legal voters of a township, or of a ward .in cities, file a written remonstrance with the county cbmmissioners, then no license can be issued in such township or ward, for a period of two years. And any license the commissibners may issue in violation of this remonstrance, is void and of no effect. *
