Increase Of salaries-The Record.

The passage by Congress of the
increased salary bill has provoked
the indignation of the people more
than sny other act of that body for
many years. Congress attempted q
like robbery 90 years ago, and the
public indignation was so unig ersal
that the people at the next election
rejected nearly every member who
supported the measure. That a
Congress which, TO say the least,
has, 10 come respects, left a most un-
enviable record should, with its ex>
piring gasp, thrust its own arms into
the puolic treasury to the tune of
more than u million of dollars
whore the lawful compensation had
been already paid, will certainly bea
matter OF surprise to the country at
this time. and ultimately, unless We
arc mistaken, will come home to
plague the men who have contribut>
ed to each a result.
The salaries provided by the act
in question are as follows: Presiden
$50, 900, Vice President, Justices
Supreme Court, Cabinet Officers and
Speaker of the House each $40, 900 !;
Senators and Representatives each
1880. In this we raise no question
rs TO the increase in the salaries of
executive officers, for they did not
participate in the legislation, and the
advance for this class of officers is
generally approved.
