[From the Ohio Liberal.1
Salaries of Congressman

1t is claimed that $4,000 a year and
mileage was not sufficient for a member
of Congress, and that therefore it was but
justice that he should have $500.
This claim to any one who has lived in
Washington city is simply preposterous.
In the first place the average attendance
required by a member of Congress, in the
city of Washington, is about four months
and half The remainder of the year
is at his command. Now the charges for
room and lodging, for transient custom
ers, at the best hotel of the city, with
the exception perhaps of the Arlington)
is only four dollars day, SO that your
member of Congress, even at transient
hotel rates could spend the entire session
in Washington for about $500. Of course
it is not necessary that he should pay
such rates, for at first-class boarding
houses he can get accommodations for
one-half less. Still we are willing to be
liberal with our Congressman, and will
therefore allow him for board and extras
double transient rates, and yet he could
save $4,000 year out of a salary OF
$4,000, or about 81 900 month for the
time actually employed.
Not one Congressman in ten could do
more than half as well at home, and yet
we are called upon to give him S., 500.
We would like to ask these gentlemen
who talk of the cost of living in Wash
ington, how it happens that other people
live there.
Hundreds of clerks, in the various de
partments, with more brains and efficien-
cy than your average Congressman, live
in Washington the whole year through,
with their families, on salary of 81 800
and less; and in addition, are expected
to stand an assessment for political pur-
poses of from five to ten per cent.
Lady clerks, the widows often of officers
and soldiers who died in the service, are
expected to live and flourish upon a sal
ary of seventy-fve dollars month
During the war, and before the war,
members found no difficulty in living
upon a salary of $3, 800 a year, and now
to more than double that amount is
simply robbery, and the people should
brand it robbery.
Legislative position is one of the high
est honor, and it should be sought for, if
sought for at all, because of the honor it
confers. To debase it to position of
Mere money getting, is to offer bonus
for scoundrels to bribe their way to an
election.
The higher the salary above fair sub
stance, the lower will be the grade of
talent and morals in our legislative
bodies, and the sooner we return to the
principles and the practice of the Fathers
of the Republic in this matter, the more
efficient the service for the Republic

The Ohio Republicans.

The Republicans of Ohio have nomi-
mated their candidates for state officers
and adopted the platform upon which
| they propose to stand during the ensuing
| campaign. The nomination of Governor
I Edward F. Noyes was a matter of course
and deserved. He has been as good an
executive officer as he was a soldier dur
ing the late war, and his Jealous partisan
ship has added much to his popularity
with his party. 1t has been understood
for long time that he is a candidate for
the next vacancy from Ohio in the United
States Senate in 1875, and there can be
no doubt that his denomination was made
with this object in view. Just at this
time, when parties are not so strictly de-
fined as they were year ago, Governor
Noyes is one of the few men who can
promise to draw out the full party VOTE
and his denomination was a necessity as
well as choice. Lieutenant-Governo
Mueller was not renominated, but Mr.
Alphonso Hart is put in his place. The
rest OF the ticket is not specially noticea-
ble
The resolutions of the convention are
commendable for several reasons They
were brief especially in the parts devoted
to the reattirmation of the party watch
words. They call for economy in the
public administration and reduction of
taxes; denOunce the waste of the public
lands in grants to corporations; suggest
some means by which the government
can supervise and check the growing
abuses of railroad mismanagement con-
denim the corruptions involved in the
Credit Mobilier and other swindles, as
the SALARY grab" and ask Congress in
the most emphatic manner to repeal the
law increasing the salaries, which was
passed at the last session.
Altogether this is good beginning of
the canvass. 1t will certainly go far to
reassure many Republicans who have
wavered because of the transactions of
the late Congress, and it will somewhat
discourage the opposition that the Re
publicans would not have the independ-
ence to stand out against their weak and
mercenary brethren. The Liberal Re-
publicans and Democrats, it is said, will
not hold their state convention until
August, and it will be difficult even after
longer time than that for contempla-
tiOn, to show cause why they should be
trusted with power rather than the men
who present the ticket and the platform
of yesterday.

President Grant, and the Salary In
crease.

What is the matter with the editors?
Do they want an appointment at the
hands of the President? Or do they
argue that the lesser includes the greater,
and while they are so earnestly denounc-
ing Congressman for the acceptance of
back pay, the President is tacitly included
in their condemnation They seem to
handle this matter as if they thought
the Alien and Sedition Acts of
John Adams time were q part of the
law of the land. Speak out gentlemen,
and let us know if you condemn the in
crease of the Presidents salary one-half
while you oppose the one-third increase
of Congressman pay. President Grant
gets Just ten times as much as any Sena-
tor or Congressman gets, and that with
the extras voted for his establishment
from time to time in excess of former
appropriations, makes it a great financial
success to be elected President. Then
again comes in a special provision of the
constitution of the u. s., that the Presi-
dents salary shall not be increased during
the period for which he is elected. To
make period and term mean the same
thing, is the merest pettyfogging. 1t was
the intention of the trainers of the con-
stitution, to so construct that instrument
that there should be no opportunity on
the part of the separate branches of the
Government, to bring the money influ-
ence. There is not the remotest proba-
bility that the increase in the salary
bilr' would ever have been passed with
out this breach upon the organic law of
the land. If we expect anything bet
ter in the future, the press must speak,
you cannot all be appointed to office,
even in the full four years of the Presi-
dents term and if you could, at loss of
self respect, it were better that you
should not be, as that of itself renders
us hear from YOU. For ourselves, we
think the increase to the President is ten
fold the greater crime; and we presume
the silence on the subject is with others
as it has been with ourselves; we have
been hesitating to speak for fear that our
feelings would compel us to improper
expressions of contempt for the whole
| business s-IrOHtOn Commercial.

long ago.
She mourned them all with patient love
But since her eyes had shed
Far bitterer tears than those which dewed
The child which had been spared to her, the
darling of her pride
also died.
Those little ones beneath the snow,
She well knew where they are;
''Close gathered to the throne of God,
And that was better far"
But when she saw where Katy was, she saw the
The painted mask of bitter joy that Need gave
Sin to wear.
Without,the snow lay thick and white;
No step had fallen there;
Within, she sat beside her fire,
Each thought q silent prayer;
When suddenly behind her seat unwonted
AS though hesitating hand the rustic latch
had stirred.
She turned, and there the wanderer stood
With snOw-hakes on her hair;
faded woman, wild and worn,
The ghost of something fair
And then upon the mothers breast the with
''Can God and you forgive me all? for I have
sinned," she said.
The widow dropped upon her knees
Before the fading fire,
And thanked the Lord whose love at last
Had granted her desire;
The daughter kneeled beside her, too, tears
streaming from her eyes,
And prayed ''God help me to be good to mother
ere she dies"
They did not talk about the sin,
The shame the bitter woe;
They spoke about those little graves
And things of long ago.
And then the daughter raised her eyes and
asked in tender tone,
"Why did you keep your door unbarred when
you were all alone? ?"
''My child,' the widow said, and smiled
A smile of love and pain,

And turn away again!

The people of Dayton have not given
up the idea of a railroad to Jackson
county, as the following from the Dayton
Journal would seem to indicate:
CHEAP COAL NECESSITY.
The way for building the coal road to
Symmes creek and a connection with the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad is clearer
now than ever before The project for
the Ohio Valley Road from Cincinnati to
connect with the G. & o. is fioored by
the decision of the Supreme Court, and
there are now no schemes which might
distract the attention of the managers of
the c. q O. in making an Ohio connection.
The valley route was galvanized into eX-
istence by the subscription of a million
made by the city of Cincinnati, under the
provisions of the Boesel law. The reYo-
cation of a project which never had any
real merit since the line was to be located
along side of the Ohio river, which for
many months in the year would be sue
cessful competitor for all such heavy
freights as coal and iron. Besides, about
three-fourths of all the iron shipped from
the up river furnaces to Cincinnati, find
a market north of that city, at points
which could be readily reached by rail
from Dayton. The line most important
to the G. &. O., as well as to Dayton, is
that originally contemplated from this
point to Symmes Creek are bound by
every consideration of selfinterest, and
of the future prosperity of the city, to
hold fast to the Symmes Creek line,
which once excited so much enthusiasm.
The enterprise stands to-day unimpaired
by the action of the Supreme Court,
which has sent so many railroad projects
to the tomb of the Capulets.' Its great
Importance to the welfare of the city
has increased rather than diminished by
the lapse of time since it was first pro-
jected. What we needed then, we need
now, and the necessity is still more press
ing. The delay in the accomplishment
of the end in view should only serve as a
stimulant to energetic action in the
future. The fuel question is one of great
er interest to the people new than it was
two years ago-and each succeeding year
will add to its Importance as the necessi-
ties of the case become more pressing
1t is not to be expected, therefore, that
the failure to reach the coal fields by the
1st of January 1874, will have any other
effect than to induce new efforts to reach
them in 1877. The decision of the Su-
preme Court should not be permitted to
chloroform the project for connection
with the coal fields.

Gentlemen, if you don't want the boys
to smoke, don't smoke yourselves. That
will be the very best way to keep them
from it. A boy forms himself after his
fathers model. The tricks of attitude,
the tone of speech, the manerisms of the
one grow into and with the other The
better the man the better will be the
boy. A father who is habitually courte-
Gus will have courteous children. One
who is pure in speech will scarcely need
to watch for profanity in their sons.
Whatever graces are desirable in boy
nature are especially to be sought for in
manhood and maturity.
