COMMUNICATION.

The 42nd Congress has voted to each
member 100000 additional pay for the
past two sessions. In the aggregate about
one and ONE half million dollars more
than they contracted with the people to
do the same work for.
Reason why?
"Congressmen cannot support their fam
lilies on the old price, 100000 per year. "
No doubt this as true, and there are
several causes, two or more of which the
maj rity of this Congress are directly re
sponsible for:
First, to increase their own incomes,
they have preferred Indirect and illegiti-
mate partnerships with their friends, the
great monopolists, Rings, and protected
interests, rather than honest Intelligent
legislation upon the great economical
principles that control the cost Of living
They have opposed every material re
duetion in the exhorbitant and unneces
sary taxes on Iron, Lumber, Coal, Fire
Wood, Salt, Wooden goods, sc. BY thus
adding from twenty five to one hundred
per cent. to the cost Of every house, every
suit of clothes, every Locomotive, all
Farm and other machinery, they have
not only made it impossible for themselves
to live on $4,000, per year, but much more
impossible for Farmers, Mechanics, Cler-
gymen, Teachers, and the great mass Of
their constituents who have much smaller
incomes.
Another reason is the extravaganza hab,
it's of many members of congress, fostered
by such free access to the Treasury
We read of "hard times" "business
failures y the struggle of pioneers to pay
high rates of interest, to save their homes

POMEROY.

The Senate Committee reported that the
charge of bribery against Pomeroy was not
proved. And aS the charge of bribery was
not proved the Committee did not report a
resolution in favor Of his expulsion. If Pom
eroy paid York 81 900 for his vote in the Kan
sas Joint Convention he covered his tracks
well from all but York York and others.
believing as they say that Pomeroy intended
to secure his election by bribery. entered into
an arrangement to detect him in it, with the
understanding that York was to receive the
money and declare in the Convention that he
received it from Pomeroy for his vote. If
YorG's statements are true there was some
inconsistency on his part, and the Senate NAV
perhaps be justifable in not expelling Pome-
roy. The Kansas Legislature Is investigating
the bribery alleged against Pomeroy, and it
is alleged by his opposers that the bribery will
be established, and Pomeroy will be indicted
by the next Grand Jury and will be convicted
of bribery. Pomeroy and his supporters
claim that the whole transaction was con-
spiracy against him and that he will be able
to establish the conspiracy against him.
Aside from being charitable the charges and
testimony Of each party against the other
might obtain belief, and no doubt does with
some, and the present appearances are that
there was deep corruption ON both sides:

CENSURE OF AMES AND BROOKS

The House of Representatives failed to
pass Poland's resolutions expelling Ames
and Brooks, but passed vote of censure
IN both cases. Two questions arise in
each case. Were Ames and Brooks guilty
of bribery? Is bribery disqualification
for a representative Gin Congress? From
The testimony there can be little or no
doubt Of bribery. The only remaining
question is, whether bribery is disquali.
fcation for representative. AS each
House Of Congress is the Judge Of the
qualifications Of its members, it would
seem that the House of Representatives
doss not consider bribery q Disqualified
tion for its members. In this however
the Representatives do not represent the
people. The people believe bribery to
be disqualification. And they will be
very likely to conclude that the Repre-
sentatiVes who do rot believe bribery to
be disqualification are not themselves
qualified. And as the people are the first
judges Of the qualifications for Represent
atiVes it is to be hoped that hereafter
there will be more due discrimination be.
tween rectitude and bribery in their
inference to those aspiring to be Repre-
eentatives in Congress- It is high time
that moral reetitude should be taken into
consideration in estimating the qualifca-
lions for any Office, and especially for Of
Ices Of honor, trust, and profit And if
jhe people will profit from the lesson
which they have learned, or should learn
from the Credit Mobilier briberies of
Members of Congress, the Credit MobiIier
shall not be entirely without its uses,
And though the lesson may be learned
dearly if the people will hereafter elect
Representatives and other Officers who
cannot be bribed the lesson will be worth
The cost.

TUE ST. CROIX AND SUPERIOR
LAND GRANT.

The first object in disposing Of the Land
Grant should be for the benefit of the coun-
try through which by the grant the inten-
ton of the railway was to be constructed,
the second object for the benefit of the
state at large, aud the third for the bene.
fit of the public at large. All these OBJ
jects seem to be lost sight of in the con.
ties. between the railways for the grant,
and to some extent by the Legislature
At the present Wednesday morn
ing-the Milwaukee and ST. Paul railway
seems to stand the best chance. The Mil .
waukeeans generally favor the Milwaukee
and St. Paul on the ground that the grant
to that railway will benefit Milwaukee
more than to any other railway. On the
same principle the people of Kenosha
might oppose the grant to the Milwaukee
Sc ST. Paul on the ground that the grant
to that railway would ipjure Kenosha
more than to any other, that railway hav-
ing run past Kenosha five or six miles
away. Certainly that railway has don e
nothing for Kenosha,and there is no good
reason why Kenosha should favor its hay-
ing the land grant.

INCREASE OF SALARIES.

In the throes,of dissolution, Con-
gross passed Embarrassing salaries,
as follows:
s'The President of the United
States to receive $4,000; the Vice
President, $4,000; Chief Justice of
the Supreme Courtj $40, 800; Justices
of the Supreme Court, $4,000; Cab
met officers, $4,000; Assistant Sec
retaries of the Treasury, State, and
interior Departments, $4,000; Speak
Rf of the House, after the present
Congress, $4,000; Senators, Repre-
sentatiyes, and Delegates, including
the present Congress, $500. This
is to be in lieu Of all pay and allow
ances."
This increase of salaries alone could
not have been passed, but it was a
part of an Appropriation bill, and was
the result of q conference committee
on an appropriation bill, and as such
was squeezed through Congress at its
dissolution. Some of the salaries are
Justly increased and some unjustly.
The increase of salaries of the outgo-
ing Congress above what their former
salaries including mileage,would have
been, was unjust. The members of
tAe Congress which passed it should
have been satisfied with the salaries
rs they were when they took their
seats, and, each one for himself, like
Speaker Blaine, insisted that the bill
providing for increase Of salaries,
should net apply to his own salary.
1t would require some computation
to determine just how much the sala-
ries of Senators, Representatives and
Delegates are increased,as the former
compensation depended considerably
upon mileage, and by the present law
mileage is done away.
The bill passed the Senate by SO
for it to 81 against it. Fifteen oppo-
nents of the administration voted for
1t and seven against it.
The biz passed the House by 1O3
to o.. Forty-nine Liberals and Dem
ocrats voted for it and thirty against
it. This shows that the increase of
salaries was not party measure, as
large majority Of Liberals and Dem
9crats in both the Senate and House
voted for it. But it's not being party
measure does not remove the obiec-
iions to it and especially to it's appli-
cation to the salaries of the members
Of the Congress which passed it.
And all who voted for it will be held
accountable to their constituents for
their votes and more especially for
their votes increasing their own sala-
ries.

An OWNER WANTED.-Uncle Sam
bids fair to come in for a small share
Of the Credit MobiIier profits. It is
stated in a Tribune dispatch that the
ten shares Of credit Mobilier stock
which, during the Poland investiga-
ton, were delivered by Ames to Kel-
ley, who insisting that he did not town
them, yet gave them to Chairman
Poland as a present to the Govern
ment, are lying without owner or
claimant in the hands Of the Sergeant
alarms of the House. Ames does
not own them; Kelley disclaims them;
there is no longer any Poland Com
mittee to hold them; the Sergeant
has no authority to hold or sell them.
In this dilemma, it is suggested that
they be turned into the conscience
fund of the Treasury. With them 90
$4,000 worth Of Union Pacific Rail
road bonds.
