Guo, E. Hotchkinb, Twp. Committeeman Loup City Twp. We are informed that attorney H. M Mathew has been serving notices on the township officers of Loup City and Logan townships, demand ing that ttiey come before the county board and make, and report a levy on the taxable property of these respective townships to pay inter est on the irrigation bonds. This is strange. Not long ago Mr. Mathew was attorney for the town ships in question and was paid $150.CO by each twouahip, rnakiDg a total lee of IdOO.OO for which, as he said, “to defeat the bonds,” The case was tried and the only satisfaction which the tax-payers got out of it wa3 that they had paid these large fees only to lind out that they had no hope of winning and that the bonds must be paid just as they should be, Sir. Mathew advice to the contrary notwithstanding. But the strange part of it is that this same attorney appears now to be a full Hedged collector for the these same bond holders, and as such, de mand of these township officers that ihev make levy to meet the obliga tion. Looks like Mr. Methew has been doing a little hedging in this business. If so we will warrant that it was not until he had received the fdOO.OO lees irom the townships Mr. Mathew is the populist candi dale for county attorney. How will it be expected under such circum stances that the people will give him their support. If he was elected county attorney it would he his duty to look to the best interest of the taxpayers but as attorney for the bond holders lie certainly is not in a position to do so.

San Franscisco is h big city, per haps about five hundred times as big as Loup City in point of population. Tue city and county are one and is called the city and county of San Fraosisco, and is so organized and enpowered by the state constitution for administrative purposes. 1 thought before I came here that perhaps 1 would buy it out in its entirity aud spend my time ooi leetirg rents, but whin I came and saw its immenae size and the footing of the assessment roll tor this year, $48o,UOO,OQO., I changed tuy mind and concluded I would uot do so. 1 could not oonviently raise that sum without unsettling my invest meuta elsewhere, besides the tax payers usually sing one song to the assessor and another to the would-be purchaser, and in this case the total of the song to the purchaser woulJ tbribled, or perhaps quintupled id the face of the sworn facts set to music and sung to the assessor. At any rate it is big from any standpoint aud is up to date in all its equip ments, whether physical, mental, mechanical, scientific, or religeous. ItH people are given to unceasing activity and its harbor teems with vessels from all points of the habit able globe. A levy of 1.22 per cent upon the sum total returned by the assessor will yield about fiqc million dollars for the treasury, besides about five hundred thousand dollars from licenses and other large sums from other sources of public revenue. This makes quite a comfortable sum i to.al for tbe tax eaters to subsist up on while the tax payer is (lumping himself to raise the money to meet the next demand. The ( xterior i t the city is very fair to look upon. It's streets are well paved and well kept, tbe street car system admir able, its churches fine and comfort able, its buildiogs many of them palitial, its police force large, sol dierly and well drilled, and the nb pointments and facilities for trans acting public business are second to I none. In the administration of jus-, tice, it has its justices of the peace and police judges, and of courts of general jurisdiction. There are twelve, constituting but one court however, with twelve judges, each holding court every day in the year, except Sundays and legal hollidays, and each judge receiving the liberal sal ary of four thousand dollars per annum, one Half paid by the state and oue half by the city and county. The Supreme court, with its princi pal place of sojourn here, consists of seven judges and five commissioners, each judge and commissioner re cieving Six Thousond dollars per annum, the judges holding ottice dur ing an elective term of twelve years, and the commissioners during the pleasure of the court bv which they are appointed, There is no conflict of authority or rank however be tween the commissioners and the judges, as has vert noticably been the casein former times in Nebraska. There is no room in the judicial plan for a commissioner to dissent from the acts of the judges, nor for the subordinate to overrule the deliber ate opinions of the superior. The commissioners constitute a sort of a judicial work shop, as au adjunct or annex to the main judicial labratory. 1 Where they constitute in a measure a separate judicial tribunal with limited and subordinate powers over which one of their number piesides, and distributes the work to be per formed as it is received from the hand of the court. As among them selves tlisv confer, weigh and consid er questions involved in ni y case submitted to th»ui for action, and as for or against the opinion of a fell*. w commissioner any commis-inner may approve or dissent but the mtjoriiv rules A commission! is opinion merely a’.vises that a judgment in accordance with views stt forth in the opinion be euUred by the court, and if a| proved by the o uit a few woids as follows adopts ibe entire opinion as the opinion of ttit* court, by the court.
