The PAY OF THE OFFICERS OF ARMY-The end of the
present session of Congress is rapidly approaching and I'M
less the members evince little activity in the dis
charge Of their duties important bills before them
will have to lie over for the want of time until next winter
Among the bills which wei trust will not experience this
fate is that for increasing he pay of the officers of the
army. This bill, earnestly hope will be promptly acted
upon by Congress- nasmuch it will be but act of sim
pie justice to worthy aud gallant body of men.
The present pay of the officers of the army totally in
adequate for the services rendered. and does furnish
decent support We know officers who cannot by
the exercise of the most rigid economy live upon their pay
and this is always the case with the subalern officers
whenever withdrawn from the posts our distant from
tiers The country does not require this sacrifice The
people desire to pay their officers WELL Our foreign min
istes members Of Congress and all civil employees have
had their salaries largely increased to the increase in
the cost of living while that of the officers of the army
mains as established nearly half century ago.
Almost every day officers of merit and distinction
throwing their commissions and retiring private life
where they obtain support for themselves and mi-
lies We it stated that eighty have resigned with
in the past year. This must seriously affect the efficiency
of our little army We trust that Congress will longer
delay to increase the pay of its officers
