HAYES TARRED wirn THE SANE
STIcK.-The Republican nominee for
President, obscure as he il, has been sufii-
ciently prominent to get his named enroll
ed among the Congressional salary arab-
bes. He was member Of Congress in
1866, but made no mark there except to
draw his back pay. The Cleveland Phaia
Dealer calls attention TO the fact that in
1866 the salary of members of Congress
twas raised from $4,000 to $4,000, by
being meanly tackled upon the Soldiers
Bounty bill"
The back-pay grab Of 1873 was passed
in holder manner. That Of 1866 was
sneaked through on the popularity of and
the public gratitude to the soldiers. Gov.
Hayes, then member of Congress took
The back pay, and as he has always been
most respectable man, no doubt thought
he had right to il. But when he came
before the people for reelection General
Banning, now in Congress, beat him by
about 1000 majority in district which
had been largely Republican. This prov
ed what the people Of his district thought
Of his record, and how they looked upon
a salary-grabber at that time. The Gin
cinnati nominee in fact is a perfect repre-
sentative Of Grantism and tho evils of the
Grant Administration. His obscurity and
his personal responsibility are only cover
for the same system and the same corrupt
practices that have cursed the country for
the last eight years. World.
The Democratic National Convention
has fewer members than that of the Re.
publicans because the Democrats do not
admit delegates from the Territories. Col.
orado is the only Territory which will be
represented at St. Louis, and the reason
for this distinction is that it may be adj
mitted as State in time to vote at the
election. Thus the Democratic Conven-
ton will consist of 1873 members. Its
votes, however, are east by States, each
State being entitled to the same number
of votes as it has Representatives and
Senators in Congress Thus, while there
are 73S members, the total number of
votes that may be cast in the Convention
auHa
Is only 369. This is the reason why in
the reports of Democratic Conventions
we frequently see half votes cast for diff
ferent candidates. Two-thirds ofthe whole

Rapid Transit for tho Poor.

The horrors and lndecencies of the tene-
about for years, have attracted the attention
of a multitude of humane citizens and have
repeatedly been reported to the Legislature,
but without effecting a remedy. 1t is a fact
that one-half of our population is still
crowded into houses unfit for their proper
and in great proportion of cases impossible,
for children to grow up into either healthful
or virtuous men and women where tho
infant mortality is shockingly great, and the
poor, besides their other privntions and suf-
ferings, are forced to see their little ones die
surroundings. And it is equally fact that
while more than half of our people ore
thus crowded and abused there is suffi-
cient land on the island to accommodate
them with roomy and cleanly lodgings,
which could easily be made accessible by
proper and not expensive railroads. Rapid
transit would surely cure the worst evils of
the tenement house system, because it would
enable thousands of families of the laboring
poor to remove to the upper end Of the city.
What the evil is which could thus be
cured, and which cannot be remedied in
any other way, is shown in a recent report
by DR.. Bell, printed by the Legislature. He
shows that while of the tenement house
population nearly 3S in every 1000 die per
annum, of those not living in tenement
houses only 20 1-2 per 1000 die. He shows
that in two contiguous tenement houses,
containing "a families and 349 persons, 115
were ill on tho day of examination, which
was in the healthiest part of the year; that
in single year, 1874, S,725 people died in
the tenement houses over their due proper
ton of deaths, and died from the effects of
overcrowding; that half these deaths were
of infants and children under twelve years,
and that the cost to the poor parents of the
illness and death of this number was over
five hundred thousand dollars, which was
loss out of their scant wages. He shows that
Mt very low estimate the cost of the extra
sickness and extra mortality caused by over
crowding in our tenement houses is not less
than six million dollars per annum This,
he says, is 'the cost of premature deaths,
lives lost, sickness and funeral expenses
chargeable against the tenement houses.
The mere pecuniary loss is startling. But
what is even that when wo compare it with
