MILEAGE

Now that the Fraaking Privilege
j. abolished, never to return, we hope
that Congress will annihllate the
nav for mileage. 1t belongs to 9th
or times. when members rode to
WASHINGTON in stage-coaches and
ware often weeks on their Journey.
Those now living at a distance receive
conversation much more consider
able in amount than those who live
near the capital. For example, the
delegate from Washington Territory
receives Sl,758 for the trip he makes
to Washington. One member from
Maryland receives only Sl6. The
difference in the sums received rep.
resents more than the difference IN
time and expense of making the
Journey. The members from the
Pacific coast travel on railroad pas.
ses and receive 81 500 for a trip
which costs them less than $500.
Mileage is therefor a relic OF by
gone times. The construction OF
railroads has altered the condition OF
things. While it was not abuse
when it was established, the progress
Of half century has Transformed 1t
into one. In our judgment, it should
be abolished at once. Yet it is not
lust that member travelling two or
three thousand miles to reach the
seat of national legislation should
receive no more compensation than
one who travels only two or three
hundred miles. TO each should be
paid his actual expenses with per
diem allowance for time spent on
the Journey. The days consumed in
going and returning from Washing
ton are spent in the service OF the
Government, for which the same pay
should be given for time spent IN the
work Of legislation. And we beg
leave to suggest that the pay OF
Members should be stopped during
their absence from their post. a
Congressman who takes pay from
the people for services that he has.
not rendered is doing an injustice to
the people.
The House Judiciary Committee
which has the question Of compensa,
ton to Members Of Congress in hand,
should look to these facts The
people are willing that their law
makers should be allowed generous
salary, They are not wiling that
they should receive money TOR SER
vices not rendered, a special priv.
ilege that dcgcnerated into vast
abuse has been taken from Congress
men, and all citizens rejoice. Let
the perquisites be also stopped.-E,1,

at Calcutta on the 4th is published to-
day, stating that the city of Hchree,
Beloochistan IAN extensive country OF
Southern Asial,is nearly in ruins in con-
sequence of terrible earthquake. The
calamity came with such suddenuess
that escape was impossible On the first
alarm the inhabitants rushed from their
houses into the streets, where many were
killen by falling buildings. Upward of
500 persons are supposed to have per-
ished The earthquake was felt for many
miles away. The inhabitants of lehree,

THE evidence taken in the Greeley

THE evidence taken in the Greeley
contested will case very clearly
proves that Mr.. Greeley was insane
long before his death. For two
wears previous to his almost tragical
end the symptoms of malady that
finally clouded his mind entirely
were frequently noticed " those
most intimate with him. But he
occasionally had lucid intervals,
eyen at the very worst stages ct the
disease. Here is an extract IRON
the evidence detailing his condact at
a date not long sntecedent to his
death. Mr. Oliver Johnson, former
~ of the 7ir5une stat, is on the
stand:
He (Greeley) read the 7tmes, and
refused TO haveianything to do with the
Tribune. Would take up the Tribune
and lay it down in disgust, and say that
it was ruined. 4 would say to him,
saws Mr. johnson You are mistaken ;
look at the advertisements. tie would
reply: You know nothing about it
the paper is nothing bat aud-there
are no brains about it. Then he would
take up the Times and say Here's a
paper that has brains Good God lool;
at tins paper opening the TimeSl IT'S
making money right along. There's no
brains in the Tribune - it's bankrupt
and played out.
If it could be proven that Mr..
Greeley had written his will when
he was sane enough to say this, the
contest would be very speedily de-
termined.

TIE situation in Spain is becoming
daily more desperate Our last cable
dispatches report the Carlists once more
in the field, and the demonstration this
time must be rather formidable, as no
mails from the interior have reached
Paris for the past three days. SO elfec-
tually has all intercourse between Spain
and France been stopped that the COM
muncation is now only by sea, A few
days ago we heard of fresh Republican
troubles in the Spanish seaport towns.
No sooner has one revolutionary move
ment in that disturbed country been
queled than another breaks out else
where Madrid itself is reported restless,
and the government troops are kept
constantly under arms, ready for action
at u moments notice. The fact is Am
adeo is too good for such a people, The
best thing he could do would be to leave
them to cut their own Threats until they
get tired Of it.

find it impossible to obtain the evl'
