HOW THE NEWS AFFECTED THE HOLSTERS
Special dispatch to theTribune.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. S.-The an
nouncement OF the morning papers
that the election of Tilden was GER
tainty did not utterly discourage the
Republicans, who clung to a desper-
ate hope that the experience they
were then undergoing was but part
Of the same that made Democrats so
respondent in this State the morning
after the October election, and the la
ter reports would put Al new phase
upon the status of affairs. So, early
in the day. the headquarters were
surrounded by an eager. anxious
throng. ready for the worst, yet ex-
pec.ant and hopeful. They were not
disappointed. As early us 10 o'clock
came the report that the doubtful
States had gone Republican, and from
that time on their feelings were con
stantly on the rise, with nothing fur
ther TO cause depression. Late In
the day dispatch was receiv ii from
Chicago announcing that the Nation
al Republican Committee clnimed
New York by 1900. This created
quite a furry. which grew into per-
feet furore OF excitement

The annual pay of members of Congress
was increased from $1,000 to $5.0OO-G6S
per cent.-by act approved July %, 1866.
to take effect December 4, 1865, the begin
ming Of the Thirty ninth Congress. Dem
ocrats and Republicans voted in favor of
the increase, and one of the arguments
used in debate was Members of Con-
"gress cannot live in Washington on
"$3, 00O." The Committee on Appropria-
tons of the present House recommends
that members pay be reduced to $4,000,
leaving still an increase over their pay as
it stood previous to the Thirty ninth Con-
gress at the rate Of fifty per cent. The
pay Of Department clerks was not increased
during nor since the war; but the commit
tee decides that their pay shall now be
reduced below the grades established pre-
yIous to the war, when the prices of the
necessities of life were fixed on a coin
basis. Is this indiscriminate conclusion Of
the committee just and honest? We think
not, in view of the fact that members OF
Congress live in Washington only about
half the year, with an income accruing
from business or investments at home in
addition TO their annual salary as members.
Such legislation as that proposed by the
committee looks, in the eye of the public,
as if the pay of clerks is to be cut down
for the purpose of creating fund from
which to pay to members the increase of
fifty per cent. on their pay as it stood pre-
vious TO the Thirty. ninth Congress. 1t is
based upon unjust principles of discrimi-
nation, and will not bring desired substan-
tial political benefit to any party.

REDUCTION OF FORCE AND THE SALARIES
IN THE DEPARTMENTS.

In our issues of the 9TH and It'll February
we gave some reasons why so great an IN
Justice 10 the Government itself and to so
large a class of meritorious persons in office
in the Departments should not be done. In
these observations we were not influenced,
nor are We now, by any personal or par
tisan considerations.
From 1918 to 1856, period of nearly
forty years, the pay of Senators and mem
bers OF Congress was only $S q day for each
dag he has attended or may attend Con-
qress' Besides this he was entitled to
mileage and the franking privilege. From
1856 to 1868 his pay was $1,000 year, or
5000 Congress. In 1868, the pay was
increased to $1,000 q year, or $40, 900 a
Congress. In 1872, the pay was increased to
s., 500 year, or SIS, 900 Congress. This
included what was known as the salary
grab" A few members, under the pressure
of popularindignation returned this grab
into the Treasury, and then reduced their
paw proper back to s., 900 a year, or SIC, 900
a Congress. And now, after all this great
manifestation of love for the dear people
and their money, tits proposed to fix the pay
at 8. 500 year, which is still 81, 800 year
more than it was in 1856 As we said be-
fore, the pay Of the clerks under the CLASH
| fication, or Hunters BILL in 1858 Was
fixed at the present rate, but to be paid in
gold. And while the pay of all others in
| the public service, in fact, of every kind OF
service, public,and private, was largely in
creased, the pay;ef the clerks in the Be
partments was never increased a cent In
| the interest of severe, but spasmodic, econ
omy, it is now proposed to reduce this pay
to eighty or ninety cents on the dollar, a:
fixed in gold, and to pay this in currency
worth only eighty-five per cent, making
his pay thirty or forty per cent. less thar
| in 1868.
But Congress says 70 the people, don
we cut down our own payf oh yes! How
do they do it, Going back to 1885 they
add 81. 500 a year, or 50. 900 for Congress

SPEAKER KERR was evidently the man
who during the late war remarked that he
didn't believe in any Church that meddled
with politics or religion. When he was
applied to a couple Of days since by the
chaplain Of The Senate, with the approval
of the chaplain Of the House, for permis-
sion to hold union religious service on
the Sabbath in the hall of the House, the
application met an indignant refusal.
Now, the rules of the House, as framed, not
only recognize the right of the Speaker to
grant the use of the hall for that purpose
on the Sabbath, but contemplated his re-
quirement that divine service should be
performed. During the administration of
a large majority Of Speakers they have
required the service to be performed, and
no Speaker until this representative Of the
infdel Democratic majority of the House
ever refused such an application coming
from either chaplain. 1t is good thing
for the country to understand just what
this confession means.
