THE PHESIVENT'd SALARY AND
The presidential salary of twenty-live
thousand dollars a. year v;js fixed by
Congress when Washington was Presi
dent. But Washington declined to take
it, and from patriotic and disn.,er.'?ted
motives gave ms time to lis cmri.ry
without compensation, requiring sim
ply the payment of his necessary ex
penses by tne government, ic is uiin-
cult in these sordid days to find ajnan
who can rise to any adequate concep
tion even of the elevated patriotism
and disinterestedness of Washington.
Inasmuch as the government pro
vides and keeps up a furnished house
for the President to live in, and pays
the chief part of the expenses of the
house, the President of the United
States would be altogether the best paid
officer in the country with a salary hxed
at ten thousand dollars a year. But
there has always been a disposition in
Congress to exalt tne office of resident
by a profuse lavish of money on it.
And altnougn tne salary remained tor
many years at $25,000 a year, yet the
emoluments were from time to time in
creased until the annual expenses of
the Executive Mansion reached about
sixty thousand dollars. And in 1873
the President's salary was increased to
$50,000 a year, without any reduction
in his emoluments. This excessive in
crease of the salary and emoluments of
the President cannot be accounted for
upon any other ground than a disposi
tion to exalt him, as far as practicable,
into the dignity of a king.
The natural inclination or mankind.
to kingly government," mentioned by
Dr. Franklin, arises from one of the
weakest traits of the human mind, that
of hero worship, wholly incompatible
with tne vigor or thought and manly
independence of the true American
citizen. American Register.
While all this is true as regards the
extravagant salary paid to the Presi
dent the writer might have added with
truth that all the higher grade of offi
cers in Washington are too liberally
paid. There are objections to these
high salaries which go deeper and reach
further than the mere amount of money
involved, though no contemptible sum
taken in the aggregate. Salaries rang
ingf rom $50,000 to $5,000 a year are en
tirely disproportionate to the average
talent employed or the services ren
dered therefor. As far as the office of
President goes it has become a mere
dispensary of federal patronage, and
if late years be a criterion certainly
does not require much ability to
fill it, while as a rule the appointments
in the gift of the President, where one
would naturally look for superior abil
ity, have not been marked by any ex
traordinary degree of excellence. The
bench of the Supreme Court, cabinets,
missions abroad, and other positions,
have been filled not so much by men
whose talents qualified them for the
posts to which they were assigned as by
politicians and partizans who were thus
rewarded for real or supposed services
to the party in power. But each and
all enjoy a salary that but few of them
could earn in their usual avocations in
private life.
We are told in justification of high
salaries that high salaries alone will
command excellence in service, but ex
perience proves that even the high sal
aries will not do this, but on the con
trary, generally speaking, in point of
talent the public servants are of a very
indifferent order. As able men could
be found at any time to serve the coun
try for one-half the figures these are
paid, It is probable that many of them
would be willing to do so themselves,
As a matter of policy we believe
that no salary should be made so large
as to make it an object of contention
for the sake of salary, for therein
comes the strife, and corruption; the
wire-pulling for nominations and the
corruption afterwards to succeed when
nominated.
One of the shortest and most effect
ive ways to bring about the civil ser
vice reform is to cut down salaries and
then place the appointing power in
some other hanas than in those of the
President. Then the greed for office
will be lessened, and the hosts of men
who now struggle to get into fat gov
ernment berths will turn their atten
tion to some other mode of earning a
livelihood.
A CHANGE OF POLICY,
According to Mr. Blaine, Mr. Arthur
has shown a strange and unaccounta
ble change of policy in the matter of
countermanding the invitations to the
international conference of the Ameri
can nations to be held at Washington
after he had given his assent to it,
warmly approved of it, and saw the
invitations before they were sent out.
The ground alleged for the change of
policy, which is attributed to the coun
sels of Secretary Frelinghuysen, is that
the holding of such a congress would
give offence to England, which power
Mr. Frelinghuysen don't wish to offend.
Mr. Blaine, in his letter to the Presi
dent, very properly objects to the change
on such ground as this as humiliating to
this country, which should be able and
independent enough to manage such
affairs without consulting the pleasure
or displeasure of England or any other
foreign government. The conduct of
Mr. Arthur in the premises, if Blaine's
statement be a true version of the ori
gin and call of the Congress, places him
in a very vacillatinz lieht. and one in
which a President of the United States,
who is supposed to have judgment
enough to form opinions on public
questions cannot well afford to stand
in. Blaine, with good reason, is very
much provoked at the turn affairs have
taken, and talks to his Excellency in
some very unequivocal and vigorous
English.
The American Kegister says: Mr.
Blaine came into Congress some fifteen
or twenty years ago in very moderate
circumstances. He has lived high, and
to the full extent of his salary, as every
one knows, and he leaves office a mil
lionaire, as is said ; at all events, a man
of large wealth. The mystery is how
he made and accumulated his wealth.
Ostensibly the manner of the acquisi
tion is unknown. The people have a
right to know how a public man, in
the pay of the Government for bis
services, obtained a large fortune, if he
does acquire it when so engaged.
"Why, he "speculated."
While within the past twenty years
rthe population of New York has in
creased fifty per cent, the expenditures
for school purposes have increased two
hundred percent

The only bills considered were sever
al of private interest, the only unfin
ished busines being a resolution declar
ing that the pension arrears law ought
not to be repealed was taken up.
Plumb referred to tne arguments up
on the law was passed, vinicated its ab
stract justice and the unfairness of re
peal to those who had filed their claims.
He thought the position assumed by
Senators Vest and uu tier one tnat ma
them honor as they had been mentioned
as representing a large class peculiarly
hostile to our war pensions. -
Call submitted an amendment to tne
resolution favoring pensions for the
needy and disabled survivors of the In-
was I prior to i45, including tne .biacK
Hawk, Creek and Seminole wars.
Brown said that as many Union sol
diers had already received the benefit
of the law and as it would be unjust to
deny to others equally meritorious a
consideration it was now too late to
Question the wisdom of the law. The
South for various reasons needed not to
agitate the question, but tbe unanimity
of sentiment on the subject was wel
comed by him as most gratifying evi
dence of the harmony and fraternity
prevailing between two hostile sec
tions.
Maxev expressed his dissent from the
doctrine that because but few of the
survivors of the old wars were not in
dependent circumstances their less for
tunate brethren snouiu ror tnat reason

Maxey was interrupted by the arrival
of the hour (3 o'clock) fixed for eulogies
upon the late Representative Michael
P. O'Connor, of South Carolina. The
pension arrears resolution was accord
ingly laid aside as unfinished business,
and encomiums upon the character and
services or the deceased member
were pronounced by Butler, Bayard,
Jones of Florida, and Hampton.
After the adoption of appropriate
resolutions, the benate, as an additional

House. Alter the introduction or a
number of bills the House resumed
the consideration of the apportionment
bill.
Cobb, of Indiana, from the committee
on public lands, reported back the reso
lution calling o the Secretary of the
Interior for information as to the names
of all railroads to which the govern
ment has granted lands, the amount of
land granted to each, &c. Adopted.
The House then resumed the consid
eration of the apportionment bill.
Davidson, or lorida, attacked the
section on the method of apportion
ment, contending that under it .New
York, with a population 19 times as
large as that of Florida, was given 34
times as many representatives.
Dibble, of South Carolina, criticized
the Seaton method, pointing out what
he conceived to be the great error in the
system employed by the committee in
discovering the ratio of representation.
Tbe committee had failed to take into
consideration the fact that the popula
tion of Nevada and Delaware fell be
low the modula fixed upon, a fact which
would have great effect upon the frac
tional representation of various States.
McCord, of Iowa, a member of the
committee on census, supported its bill
- it T.j 3 j i
wnicn was onginany introauceu uy
him. He argued that the new method
of apportionment proposed was more
in accordance with the constitution
than the old system, and pointed out
the unfairness of the opponents of the
bill in companng any two States with
out taking into account the perplexing
propositions which crept into ques
tions when other States were consider
ed. Gentlemen might say that there
were wrongs and inequalities inthe
bill, but he declared that in any other
bill these wrongs and inequalities
would be more outrageous than any
that could be found in the pending one.
McCord proceeded to point out the
anomalies which would arise under the
old system, instancing the Alabama
paradox and showing that a similar
state of affairs would occur in the case
of Georgia, which would gain one mem
ber at 306 and lose it at 807, and in the
case of Maine it would gam one at 309
and lose it at 340. He made a computa
tion and discovered that of the 38 States
19 had each a population of less than
one million, and aggregated 10,360,000
or one-nttn ox tne population or tne
United States. They were granted un
der the bill 64 representatives or exact
ly one-Mth of the total number. It
could not be said, therefore, that the
bill militated against the smaller
States.
Cox, of New York, said that he had
offered an amendment fixing the num
ber of representatives at 307 based up
on tne seaton metnoo, out upon con
sideration he had come to the conclu
sion that he could not fortify his own
number, 307, or any other number,
under that system. Jt would do gross
injustice at any number, and he would

and left the big end open. It prevented

wnat fascinated him, but he had discov

After several other gentlemen had
spoken, tne matter went over.
