This Celebrated and WOTId-re-
nawned Troupe, now playing an en-
gagcment at thesst. Charles Theatre, n. o.,
has been engaged, we understand, by Mr..
W. =. Robinson, for two nights only, and
will play at TomIin's Hall APrlI 4th
and 9th. We predict that this Troupe
viii crowd Tomlin's Hall as it has never
been before. SO look out and secure your
seats. We learn that the diagram OF the
Hall win be left at Browns Book store
one week in advance OF the Troupe, and
reserved seats sold.
Mr.. Robinson deserves some credit for
hts enterprise in securing this Troupe; also
for his liberality in reducing the rates to
80 cents, and IS cents for reserved seats.
It is a great pity that the Hall for this oc-
casion is mol as large again.
The Matinee on Saturday afternoon,
April 9Th, must not be forgotten.

The legislature of Illinois having
passed law to lower and regulate
railroad freights, the companies
there have concluded to dispense
with style, break-neck speed, and
extravaganza generally. An ex-
change says:
1t is stated that the new schedule
of rates, when Legally promulgated,
will be accepted by the companies,
but they, on their part, viii make
some important changes. For in
stance, IN their freight business, if
less than a carload of freight is
offered at any place, the car will be
detached until it is filled up and left
to wait for the next train. Half
full freight cars and partially laden
trains will cease to run. Cars and
freight trains will be left at locali-
ties until they are full, and then, and
then only will they be moved to
their destination. In their passcn-
ger business the railroad will over
haul the time schedule, take off the
lightning express trains, dispense
with the palace cars entirely, pare
down and economic in the appoint
ments of the ordinary passenger
cars, dispense with cushions, ETC.,
except in sections able to pay the
companies for such Injuries, and
run all trains on a strict paying
basis.

Justifying the Means by the End.


Congressman Robert B. Roosevelt in
forms the Commissioners of Education
that he intends to appropriate his part of
the Congressional back pay to the educa-
tional interests of this city He suggests
that it be invested permanently, and that
the interest be divided annually in prizes
for the best sch GLARS of the public schools,
In his letter he makes an elaborate ex-
cuse for this course, which, it must be ac-
knowledged, is the best that has been of
fered for drawing the money from the
United States Treasury. He shows that
New York pays much larger proportion
of the taxes to support the United States
government than any other part of the
country, and that his constituents must
therefore bear large part of the burden
growing out of this Congressional grab
game. Consequently, and because the
plumber was made legal by the act of
Congress, Mr.. Roosevelt consents to take
his share for the benefit of his constit-
uents.
Giving Mr. Roosevelt credit for SINGER
ity, and agreeing with him that it is I'M
fair for his constituents to contribute to
the support of the political plunderers
while getting none of the plunder and
also that the back pay legally belongs to
him. we widely disagree with him on the
propriety of his course. A good object
does not Justify the use of bad means in
its promotion, and of the improper ma
ture of the means in question Mr. Roose-
velt himself has no doubt. The plea of
legality does not cover the immortality of
this back-pay plunder; if it did. there
would be no end to such transactions by
unscrupulous Congressman. Have we
any assurance, moral or legal, for exam
pie, that Butlerism will not, from the
force of habit, steal a march on the pres
ent Congress and cause it to appropriate
ten or fifteen thousand dollars to each
member for past services, or to pension
Congressman who have served a certain
time, or to pay their summer vacation
expenses2 Any plumber can be made
legal by Congress, under the leadership
of bad eminence in criminal sleight-of-
hand.
The proper course to pursue for all Con-
gressmen who do not use the stolen
funds offered them is to let the money
remain in the Treasury. 1t does not by
any moral reasoning belong to them, and
they have no more right strictly to APP
propriate it to educational and charitable
purposes than to their own use. sa

The Back Pay"

1t seems that several members of Con-
gress who voted and worked against the
back salary have labored under misap-
prehension in supposing that if they did
not draw the back pay when they settled
with the Sergeant-at-Arms it would go
into the United States Treasury Mr..
John Hill, of New Jersey, whose integri-
ty during a long and faithful service in
Congress has been unquestioned, has
written a note to the Sergeant-at-Arms
ordering his share to be drawn and paid
into the Treasury beyond his reach. He
intimates that this course would have
been taken before but for his belief that
it was unnecessary Mr. George A. Hal
sey, of New Jersey, and Mr.. Henry H.
Starkweather, of Connecticut, who also
opposed the Butler measure, have just
ordered their shares turned into the
United States Treasury, making the
same apology for delay as Mr.. Hill
makes.
1t will be recollected that several
weeks ago we announced that the entire
Maine delegation had returned their
back pay to the Treasury. Some excite
ment was caused in Maine few days ago
by dispatch said to have been sent up
on the authority of Treasurer Spinner, to
the effect that Senator Hamlin's share
had not been received by him. No ex-
planation of this affair has yet been
made by Mr.. Hamlin's friends, who have
l ow d the report that
he returned the money to GO
out tuncontradicted. But Senator Ham
Inns character for integrity has been so
good that we cannot doubt his ability to
give satisfactory explanation, and his
intention not to touch the money which
does not belong to him.-N Y, Evening
Post.

The Salary Question.


Every day reveals new reasons why the
coming Congress should take prompt and
decided action in favor OF the repeal of
the salary bill of the last Congress. Many
members of the last Congress are holding
their back pay subject to the action of
the new Congress- If the salary bill
should be repealed, then the members of
the old Congress who are holding their
back pay would, many of them at least,
return it to the Treasury; but should the
new Congress cling to the advance salary,
then the old members will not return
their back pay. Hon. H. G. Burchard,
of Freeport Illinois, takes this view of
his duty. He says:
at was no more discreditable for a
member to vote to increase his salary in
the expiring than to vote to increase it
in the following term. He would in
either case be voting money to hinaseg, and
that, in my opinion, is the Objectionable
feature of the late legislation on salaries.
The members elect to the present Con-
gress as much contracted to serve during g
their full terms at the old rate as the out
going members did for theirs The mem
Der who has conscientious scruples about
receiving the increased compensation for
service in the last Congress can not con-
sistently accept the increase for the pres
ent Congress.
Should the law increasing Congress
sional salaries for the future be repealed
and the former rate of compensation be
established, it will then, as it seems to
me, become the duty of member of Con-
gress to retain for official service in the
present and last Congress only the rate
decided to be sufficient, and to return to
the Treasury whatever in excess of that
sum he may have received for either Con-
gress. Some who make no objection to
the increase for the future, or admit that
to be right and proper, severely criticize
the law merely because it gives "back
pay" They fail, however, to point out
the difference in the morality and pro-
priety of vote to increase compensation,
whether given at end or commencement
of term.
They do not explain why a member of
one Congress elected to another can vote
himself or accept with more propriety, in
creased compensation for the succeeding
Congress than he can vote or accept the
same for the expiring Congress"
This rule gives but little weight to con
science, being based solely upon the prop
| osition that the action of the coming Con
| gress will determine the righteousness oi
| the last Congress. Mr.. Burchard would
| have displayed greater wisdom and {
higher sense of honor, had he based hi:
action in receiving the money, after
voting against it, upon the question o

How Doctors Differ. !"

The jackson STANDARD says that John
T. Wilson who received his share of the
salary grab and justified the act, could
not get 500 votes for Congress in his Dis
trict. But the Ironton journal does not
agree with the Standard 1t says if Mr.
Wilson was again candidate, that 'he
would receive ninety-nine of every hun
dred Republican votes in Ironton and
Lawrence county"
If the Journal truly represents the Re
publicans of Lawrence county, their po-
litical degradation is complete. John T.
Wilson belongs to thst most detestable
class of Congressmen, who, while pretend
ing to oppose the salary grab robbery,
shared with delight the stolen money
after the theft was perpetrated. If
''ninety-nine of every hundred Republic
ans in Lawrence county, would vote for
John T. Wilson,, then there are Just
that many Republicans in Lawrence
county, who sustain the robbery of the
United States Treasury and would, them
selves, if they had the opportunity, help
rob the national money vault. 1t is also
questionable whether it would make
much difference to them if their entrance
to the Treasury was effected, by means
of an infamous law, passed by terribly
corrupt Congress and signed by money
worshiping President, or by the Jimmy"
of a common burglar. Marietta Times.
