DAILY RECORD
THE SALARY STEAL.

This Is the forcible, though ineiesant,
expression applied by the press, the peo-
pie and majority of even the politi-
clans to that portion of the Appropriation
Act by which the salary of the President
was increased from $4,000 to S5O,OOO
per annum and the members of Congress
were allowed to draw back pay, and also
an increase of salary. The salary steal
was accomplished by the insertion of
the nefarious scheme into the Appro-
priation Act The holding OF it back till
near the close of the session was a good
stroke of policy, for by operation of the
Constitution Congress had to adjourn on
the third of March; an Appropriation
Act had to be passed and approved on or
before that day, else there would be no
means of carrying on the Government
unless an extra session of Congress
should be called to provide them. Tn
der the law, as it stood before the salary
grab was consummatei, the pay, mileage,
etc, of members of Congress per annum
were as follows
For pay OF "A Senators and 4j3 Mem
bers and Delegates ...,........... Il ,bjo,OUO
For mileage for same. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. $4,000
., ................. 4Os75
Total annual pay and allowances. 50, COS SIS
Basing its remarks upon the foregoing
figures. the Gold Hill News goes on to
say:
AT the same rate of pay and allowance
the total appropriation for the fiscal year
1884 Including ,the increase OF 40
members of the House,, would be
81, 300, AL. Under the law of March 3,
lS73-above referred to, and irreverently
termed the "back pay steal'-whlch
abolished the stationery and mileage al
lowance, the annual appropriation for
the pay OF Senators, Representatives and
Delegates, in all 316 members, at 81, 500
per annum. will be 81, $40 900; actual in
dividual expenses of travel one round
trip each session, 5000 each Glow estl-
mate), S7J, 600; total pay and allowance,
S2,S95, 600. BY comparing this with the
amount for year under the old law,
,allowing for the 40 members OF the
Forty-third Congress who took theil
seats last March, } it will be seen that the
increase on account OF the Act of March
), Is 1888, 559. Or, in other words, al
actual annual expenditure of nearly
5000, 000--equal TO the interest on debt
of S12 900, 600 at five per cent, which il
virtually creates and fastens upon the
people OF the United States. The sun
authorized as back pay, which is ever
more severely condemned than the in
crease of salary, aggregates for two year
to Senators, Representatives and Dele
gates, under the same Act, Sl,2S5, 200
most of which has already been draw
and pocketed by those who, under tn
law, are legal claimants thereto. Il
order that the bin might have as littl
opposition as possible from outsiders, i
the same Act all or nearly all the salarle
OF the employees of the Senate and Hous
were increased from u to 80 per cent
The total legislative appropriation fo
1923 was 50, SIG, 091 10; for 1894

NEVADA STATE ITEMS.

Commenting on the McKinney-Court-
ney tragedy, the Reese River Reveille
says; Courtney was one of the most
desperate and bloodthirsty characters
that ever disgraced mining town, and
has not only killed his man but sew
eral of them. His right name was Rich
ard, or, as he was commonly called,
Rick Moriarty' Under this name he
murdered a miner in cold blood in Vir-
ginia several years ago, and fled the
country to avoid arrest, changing his
name to Morgan Courtney. He was ar
rested for his crime and taken to Storey
county last fall; but as there was but one
living witness, Assemblyman Richard
Arnold, who had started for Arizona, he
was not convicted. His assassin Geo.
Mckinney, is quite young man, and
has been gravitating about the mining
camps in Nevada and Utah for the past
four or five years, following the profess
sion of fighter. A little over year
ago he attempted suicide in Virginia
City by firing deringer into his mouth.
The community loses nothing by the
death of Courtney, and should Mckin
ney be hung for his assassination the
whole affair will be one of congratulatior
to the people of Phoebe.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS. - The
New Jersey Constitutional Convention,
having been organized, received certain
propositions for the consideration of
members, and then adjourned to Octo-
Der TIN. Among these propositions are
the following:
To make member of the Legislature
ineligible who accepts free railroad
tickets; that a member shall receive $500
per annum; that no Judge of any OF the
Courts shall ride on railroad free, nor
hold stock; that capital punishment shall
be abolished and imprisonment for life
substituted, with no poyer to pardon;
that there shall be no exemptions from
taxation; that the Court OF Chancery
shall be abolished; that no man shall
hold an Office who shall have influenced
any caucus or election, by money or
otherwise: to strike the word white -
from the suffrage article; to deprive a
man of voting who shall be detaulter
to the State or General Government
that IA man shall be entitled to vote after
sixty days residence in county; that
members Of the. Legislature are to have
$3.50 per annum and no other allowance
whatever.
The San Francisco Bulletin says the
proposition to render ineligible any mem
Der OF Legislature who accepts free
passes, is a good one, and should bt
adopted in every State, with an addition
extending the prohibition to members o
Boards of Supervisors, to Judges, and t.
all public officers who have to represen
the public in its relations to railroads
Congress should also prohibit its mem
bers and the Judges of United States Su
preme and District Courts from takin
similar favors from railroads. The bloN
aimed at corruption in caucuses wi
commend itself to all who are anxious. t
insure purity of elections. The propc
sal to entirely prohibit pardons after
conviction for murder might work III
Justly, without a modification providin
for those cases where new evidence di
closed mitigating circumstances or eve
innocence.

That proposition, says the Virginia
Chronicle, may sound silly, yet it is not

States to be the father Of all good.

highest functions are rightfully to be
used by interfering with the morals and
business of private citizens. Our statute

this, to construct and run n boarding

ToRRID HEAT EVERYWHERE Friday
July 25th, was the first of the two ex-
tremely hot days experienced in the Sac
ramento and San joaquin valleys this
year. The same day was the hottest
ever known in New York and also in
London. Here it marked l02 to l04; but
the following day was hotter by three or
four degrees,
SO says the Sacramento Record. At
the same time it was So in Phoebe, and
people here were complaining OF the
intensity of the heat. Now, however,
the temperature is delightful, and the
general opinion is that the backbone OF
the heated term is broken.

The annual stockholders meeting of the
above named corporation was held in Port

the several towns on the road loaned their
credit to and in the construction of the Port

$500, 900. In 1854 the Portland and Kenne-
bee assumed this loan which was to mature
November LIST, 1870. Prior to maturity funds
to pay the loan were deposited in Boston. and
only $1,000 remain unpaid simply because the
bonds have not been presented for payment.
There are at this date, l6l stockholders,
holding 7,209 shares. The amount of stock
standing on the books January lst, 1873, is
SAL 400. This embraces the whole amount

the stock is outstanding-the whole amount
being S220, 600 which is to be surrendered at
the rate of two shares for one of the Portland
and Kennebec. 1t is suggested that some
limit be put to the time when the residue of
the stock can be converted. The S7l4,OOO
above named also includes nearly 5000, 900 of
the second mortgage bonds of the Kennebec
and Portland Railroad Company and interest.
The amount outstanding of the first mortgage
bonds OF the kennebec and Portland is $2l7,.
