Jf Uncle Joe will be patient for a few months he will find himself the recipient of a fine new pair of spec tacles from the people. Senator Patterson of Colorado has been fined $1,000 for "constructive contempt" to the supreme court. Doubtless the senator thinks that is a bargain counter price to pay for the immense amount of contempt he has accumulated. The Louisville Courier-Journal says: "Tho salaries of the heads of the banks of England and Germany combined amount to $40,000. The sal ary of tho head of the Mutual Life is $150,000, to say nothing of the salaries of the rest of tho McCurdy family. And McCurdy is provided with an actuary to do his knowing for him." But it must be remembered that the heads of the .banks of England and Germany are not entrusted with the "national honor." Edgar Howard and Mark G. Perkins have purchased the Fremont, Nebr., Daily Herald. Mr. Howard will be editor and Mr. Perkins will be business manager. Messrs Howard and Perkins are trained newspaper men, and Mr. Howard has achieved a wide reputation as a defender of Jeffersonian principles.
