The election of Mr.. Kerr as
speaker of the house of represen-
ta'ives is a fitting rehuke to salary
grabbing and corruption, and is a
guarantee that the great body of
the Ee nocracy are earnest in the
crusade against the evils which
have been cnrsing the country as
the result of the pernic:ous legis-
lation Of the Republican party in
congress. Mr.. Kerr was member
Of the Thirty-ninth, Forticth, For
ty-first, and FQrty-second congress
cs. In the last named congress
he served as a member Of the com
mittee on ways and means, He
was a candidate for, congress,nan-
at-large from Indiana in 1872, but
was defeated by 1G2 votes. He
represents the Third district OF In
diana in the Forty-foulth congress,
having been elected by majority
OF l,409 over Cravous, the Initiation
Democrat, supported hy Republi-
cans. Mr.. Kerr IS an avowed en-
emy Of jobhcry and corruption,
and on these grounds, Which were
well understood. lie was feared by
tie administraiiorists moro than
a~y other candidate. If he docs
not comport himself with credit to

compensation of the first, second
and third classes. Under the pre-
sent law postmasters IN small cities
and towns who are required 10
give very moderate bond, and
whose business also is mob, large,
may receivc~thc maximum salary.
In the larger cities, like, Boston,
Philadelphia aud Chicago, post
masters doing a postal business of
hundreds of thousands of dollars
per annum, a money order business
Of millions, and giving bonds to
the extent of 100000, receive no
greater compensation than that
paid in a majority Of the smaller
cities. In many places the salary
of the postmaster is the largest in
the place-presidents, cashiers,
secretaries and other officers of
corporations, whose duties require
greater abilities, and whose posi-
tions entail vastly greater respon-
sibiities, receiving less. This state
Of things encourages and some
times leads to an unseemly scram-
BILE for these Offices.
A Republican exchange COM
menting upon the salaries Of post
masters and other government Off
cials, argues "that salaries are gen
orally too high; that in times of
high prices government salaries
were very materially increased !;
aud now, that we have come back
so nearly to the old times prices,
official salaries should come down
in the same proportion that others
have done" This argument is en-
inently sound, and we suggest the
propiiety of reduction of official
salaries, commencing with the pres
iAent. If he really means retrench-
ment and reform he surely ought
to set an example. In war times
when prices were at the highest
point attained Since the organiza-
ton of the republic, President
LINCOLN managed to get along very
comfortably on the. salary which
all his predecessors had received,
s25,o00p per annum, and that too
at time when gold ran up to $50.
If President Lincoln could live
upon his salary at that time we
fail to see the justice at this time
when values have deprecated to-
the "bed rock" Of paying Mr..
Grant twice that sum. If he really
means retrenchment, reform, and !
economy in public expenditure he
viii ask congress to again fix the
salary Of president at $4,000, and
If Mr.. Grant declines TO do 1t con-
gross should undertake the job on
its own OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The Escape OF Tweed.

1t is difficult to speak calmly OF
the criminal carelcssness-if that
indeed be the only offense--by
which William VI. Tweed was en-
abledion Saturday to make his cs-
cape from the restraint in which he
was held toianswer the charge of
stealing millions oflthe money of
the City of New York Giving an
airing in "a style more betting a
prince of the purple than a prince
of thieves, the Officers in whose
nominal custody he was had so
much confidence1in his sense of
honor that they ,graciously left him
to himself for few moments, and
when they inquired after him they
founda-gr greatly totheir am azement,
Of course-Ithatt the bird had lda n
Simple souls that they were, they
never imagined that Tweed wohld
so abuse their implicit faith in him
rs to leave them in the lurnh.4 -
They had probably seen hownheek-
ly and suhm issively be had rerhain-
ed in Ludlow Street Jail Perhaps
they had repeatedly triediiflleihad
any desire to 'escnpe--we had ial-
most said from durance vile, bat

the mild restraint to which the
BOSS" was snhjected-tand having
seen that he would not walk out
when Isis prism doors were open,
concluded that'hc wasione OF those
molel prisoners whose gratitude
for favors is unhounded and who
could be depended upon, in case
Of emergenay,to standd firmly 10y
the officials TO prevent the escape
Of lesser thieves. They had, or Eat
least pretend now to havess bail,
some sneh impressions. Sheriff
Conner, in speaking of the matter,
is reported to have said that War
de,. Durham (who was one Of the
attendants of "Boss" Tweedin bis
Saturday excursion) did moi te-
lieve that Tweed had any desire TO
escape; that he thought that the
interests he had at stake In THE
p,f'y were 50 large that he did not
want 70 abandon them; IN fact,
that Tweed could not be dubbed
away. So Dunham scttlediihim-
self costly In an easy chair in the

could not be elubbed away was

ALPENA WEEK. Y ARGUS.
Wednesday,, Dec. 10, 1875.

The escape of Boss Tweed is
another instance of the power OF
wealth over prison bars. Had
Tweed been q poor man arrested
on some criminal charge, he wonld
have received the most rigorous
treatment, but il seems he was al
lowed to go about as he pleased,
his detention being little more than
e mere formality. A reward OF
$4,000 is offered for his apprehen-
sion, but as he was held simply on
an action Of debt he would be safe
from arrest after passing the bound
aries of the State. His escape
looks like "put UP job" through
out. ... 80.

own house out of sight of Jail
official.
1t is unnecessary TO say that il
common prudence had been exer-
cised In Tweed's case, his escape
from custody would not now have
TO be bcwailed 10y those guilty Of
allowing it. The officials in whose
charge Tweed was, are liable TO
Imprisonment for one year and TO
a heavy fine for allowing him to
escape, and it is to be hoped that
they will be held to the fullest and
most ridged accountability. 1t is
high time that they were taught a
lesson that the greater the male
factor the greater their response
bilities.
In regard to the legal aspects OF
the escape, Wheeler III. Peckham,
the principal counsel for the pros
ccntion, says that the civil suits
will go on just the same as IF Tweed
himself were in court to take part
in the defense. The criminal suit
will of course be suspended until
Tweed is retaken. Mr.. Peckham
thinks that Tweed's escape will
prejudice the case in favor of the
prosecution, as flight is always in
terpreted as confession of guilt
