Increase Of Salaries.

Congress and our State legislature
appear to be seized with maaia for
augmenting official salaries. Our
public officers are not willing to &C
cept empty honors as a compensation
They AJAX salaries equivalent to their
services. Such they ought TO have.
The salary of the President ought to
be twice as much as il was in Wash.
ington's day, for several reasons
First, $50 900 now has not tho purchs
asing power Of S25, 900 at that time.
Again, the nation mas increased to
forty millions of p opIo, and despite
our debt, the nation can pay its Presi
dent the present year $50 600 more
easily than it could pay $25, 900 when
the Republic was first launched. But
we did not know that our Congress-
men needed an increase o! salary
from S. 900 % $4,000 As it is now
openly proclaimed by Senator Jones
that money may be lawfully used in
tho purchase Of a senatorial term.
perhaps q Congressman's salary
should be large enough to enable him
TO buy a succeeding term, without
selling himself to a rairoad corpora
!ion or to the Credit Mobilier.
The members Of the present legis-
iature who get but $500 per year, ex.
elusive OF stamps, mileage and posts
age, are Disguised with half salaries
They propose to raise the salaries Of
the Circuit Judge TO or 81 900 per
year, although there are IL such
judges in tho state, and some of the
9 rculs do not contain larger pop.
ula ion than Grant County. There
mi ht have been some Justice 10 this
II they bad reduced the number OF
Circuits, but thus to augment tho
salaries OF these ofiicera without re-
ducing their number, we hold to be
animposition on the people for which
they will hold their representatives
responsible.
The salaries Of the Judges of the
Supreme Court are at present "a, 900.
The Legislature proposes to increase
this TO $4,000 II is said that for "A
less sum q family cannot move in
respectable society at VI ldison. Hav.
ing never lived AT OF in or about tha,
great political metropolis, we cannot
say how this is But here in Lancas.
ter we can show Uumber Of very
respectable fsmiie, which dive on
less than halt that sum. If any Of our
members favor this proposition. We
shall demand of them TO increase our
salary, and the salary of our merch-
anita, Manufacturers, mechanics and
farmers TO like amount. Consider
ing the hard times, and that some
insist on the government adding
some 40 million TO our currency, in
order to relieve the people, we think
our Legislature ought to consider
that private persons need assistance
Gs well as those favored with an of
dee, with ts certain income, what
ever misfortune may betall to others

/STNGULAR CAsE.-One of the strang-
est cases on record has come to light
recently in the death of a young lady
in Shoreham, by the name of Cora
Wilson. This young lady has been a
sufferer for more than year, and all
the skill of medical science could not
cure her or relieve her finer suffering,
until that final end of all earthly suffer-
ing, death came to her relief. 1t is
almost n year since she first took to
her bed, and for several months pre-
vious to her decease she was unable to
walk, lin fact, was completely paralyzed,
and unable to move so much as her lit
tie finger. Every particle of her hair,
even to her eyelashes. dropped off, and
u thick scab formed over her entire
body. This incrustation was as white
as snow, and would drop Off regularly
every month, leaving her skin very
soft and exceedingly tender and sen.
sitive. In less than twenty-four hour;
after the old scab dropped offa new
one exactly similar to the old one would
be formed over her entire body, Wher
she was first taken sick this incrusta
ton did not appear, but has only mani
tested its presence for about six months
Therapeutic was good during her Who'll,
sickness, and Der bodily pain was new
er at any time exceptionally severe
The disease baiiled all medical skill
No physician who has visited her eve
saw or heard of a similar case. Sh
was the wonder of all who saw her
and the establishment of the neighbor

suflerings on Friday last, ut Gfteei
