all men who touch taste handle any kind of intox

The Case Of Ames md Brooks,

A Washington dispatch states that the pre-
valent opinion among the best informed men,
bers Of the House appears to be that should
Judge Poland present a report demanding
the expulsion Of Messrs. Ame5 and Brooks,
and press its adoption with the vigor with
which Gen. Logan pressed his report demand
ing the expulsion of Whittemore, the House
would not, under the strong pressure OF pub
lie opinion, have the courage to reject it,
But if, on the contrary, the report only rec
ommends censure, or questions the epower of
this Congress to act on the conduct Of mem
bers when in previous Congresses, or is not
decided in its tone, discussion will end the

SINCE the confessions of Evans, the North,
wood murderer, there is no one that will not
rejoice that Doyle who recently died in our
States prison, where he was confined on
charge of having committed crime similar to
those confessed by Evans, was not executed.
He was once on the point of being hung, but
his sentence was finally commuted to impris-
onment for life. There have always been
many reputable persons in the State who
have doubted his guilt, and if he had been
hung he would perhaps have added another
to the list of Evans victims

The entertainment given last week by the
young people of Steep Falls was in every re-
spect a perfect success. The programme, con-
ssting of an Allegory, Tableaux, Drama and
Farce, was brought out in manner creditable
to professionals, while the singing was finely
rendered. In fact every feature of the enter
tainment was high toned and richly deserved

THE Maine Senate laid aside its long re-
puted dignity the other day and hugely
amused itself in attaching number of ludi-
crous amendments to the bill providing for a
bounty on foxes. The agricultural members
of the House looked upon this simple sena-
torial levity as out of place and that body in
sisted on its vote passing the bill to be en-
crossed. Poultry culture is one of the grow
ing industries of the more remote farmers
and it is said by men who know, that the little
fox has inflicted great damage upon the poul
try the past season.

The Presidents Salary.

Apropos of the proposition to increase the
presidential salary the N. Y. Eoening Mail
says:
As to the President, we think great and
rich nation like this can afford to pay its chief
magistrate $4,000. AS human nature is con-
stltuted and human affairs are conducted,
there is dignity in station that must be paid
for, and style and ceremony must be kept up
i'll accordance with the custom of the age we
live in. The President of the United States
ought to spend good deal of money to sur
round his position with all the proprieties
and graces that belong to such a station, and
to spend money, he must have it.
But we are not quite 50 clear as to the av-
erage Congressman. There is not much dig
nifty or grace in him; as a rule he would not
command much salary in any other walk in
lite, and IS 900 for his three or six months
work in alternate years is q good deal more
than he earns. Or, if we count by compar-
ative Importance of Office and comparative
quality of the men demanded, the bill does
great wrong to the Justices of the Supreme
Court. If $4,000 is a fair compensation to a
Congressman, what shall we say of $4,000
to justice? There are always number of
men in the lower House who are justly dis
tinguished for learning and ability, who may
rightly be called statesmen, and to whom the
country properly looks for a wise manage
ment Of its affairs. They ought to be well
paid for their work, for experience and knowl-
edge and judgment are worth more than mon
ey. But for the mob of second and third
rate lawyers from the country, and sharp pol
iticians of the lower sort from the cities, they
are largely paid now. Two or three sessions
in Congress very often set them up for life
The New York Herald warmly endorses
Gen. Buffers bill to increase the salaries of
certain officers Of the government only it
would go further. 1t says that the salary of
the Vice President and Speaker should be
SIS 900 instead of $4,000 as proposed by
Gen. Buffers bill. In speaking of the Vice
Presidents salary, the Herald says that he
says that he was obliged to enter upon small
speculations to keep his head above water
and says that his successor in order to pre-
serve his clear record should have an increase
of salary commensurate with the demands
that the position brings. "Above alP'=says
the Herald 1--WE believe that members of Con-
gress should be shielded from the temptation
which small salary begets. To treat them
as city railroads appear to treat car
onductors-namely giving them small
salary, that what they may gain dishonesty
should only go to make up fair days wages
is as short-sighted as it is deliberately immor-
al. We mean to insist on honesty from
members of Congress, and we wish to give
them a fair chance of being honest
