THE SALARY BILL.

We were among the first to denounce
the salary bill as piece Of legislation
wholly inopportune, and to point out its
danger to the Republican party. The re-
suit has justified our predictions. The
movement for repeal is in response to the
demand of the people, especially Of the
Western states. While we heartily dis
approved the measure we have never
called in question the motives of individual
members. who no doubt felt justified in
voting the increased pay. That honest
and well-intentioned men should vote for
the bill and accept the pay, we can readily
believe. There is, however, no reason for
the rush and haste observed in Congress
to the exclusion of other business.
The extra expense involved in the con-
tinuance of the present rate of salaries is
but a few thousand dollars. The loss
entailed by the present outrageous system Of
finance is over million of dollars daily.
The financial situation is the immediate
pressing question. Everything which de-
lays this moment should be postponed.
Better give up the repeal Of the salary bill
than suffer the loss now imposed upon the
country for single week. There are nc
measures which can compare at ali in
Importance with those needed to afford
relief to the stringency Of the money mar.

CAPTAIN FRY.

Whatever else may be said Of the Vir-
ginius and its capture, it cannot be de-
MED that the vessel was commanded by O
brave, heroic and Christian gentleman.
We publish to-day his last letter to his
wife, which, in spirit and letter, is entirely
in keeping with all that he said, wrote and
did after the capture of his vessel and be-
fore his infamous execution. He remarked
Just before his death that he pitied some OF
the men condemned to the same fate as
his own, for the reason that they did not
know how to die that their lives had not
schooled them to that stern necessity of
fate which sometimes overtakes brave men.
From the warm-hearted and sympathetic
tenor OF his letters, we can understand how
he could give utterance to such thought, as
the one likely to beuppermostin his breast
at the time. 1t sprang from the same feel
ing OF tenderness that a brave man feels
towards a beautiful and loving woman
when cncompassed by some terrible peril
His heart would embrace and shelter hel
to the last extremity Of death, and &c
amount of peril would drive him from the
post of succor so long as there was ray
of hope for rescuing her left. Only brave
men, like Captain Fry, can experience this
feeling when death is treadmg their owr
earthly portals.
We earnestly hope that the warm ant
generous hearts Of the whole country vii
respond to the tenderness of this brave ant
loving letter, and see that Captain Fry's
family is provided for in way that shall
reflect honor upon the heroic dead.

4 The foreign trade of Philadelphia is
steadily increasing. The North American
publishes the statistics of this trade for the
month of November, from which 1t APP
pears that the domestic exports to foreign
ports Were 1885, 555 as against s2,l77,-
AGO for the corresponding month of last
year, an increase Of $45s.095, notwith-
standing the terrible revulsion under
which the whole country has been suffering.
The exports in American vessels show an
increase of s425, 400 as compared with
the last year, the increase in foreign bot
toms being only ss2,596. Both Philadel-
phia and Baltimore are feeling
the effects Of the growing pros
perity Of the South, and especially
the benefits of their own and our con-
nections with the West, more than New
York. and other cities further North.
With four million bushels of wheat
locked up in the Erie canal, the key
in the memorable grasp of the Ice
King, and the price of breadstuffs al
panic prices among the poor Of the
North and East, the National Congress
should take prompt action on the Neg.
ley bill for completing the great central
water line Of the continent, and thus Sc
cure the cheap transportation for oul
cereal crops at all seasons Of the year
This project will aid Baltimore ard Phila
delpia immeasurably. E8
