The Presidential Office,

In The course of the debate to limit the
Presidential term OF office, Hon. Proc
tor Knott thus described the luxurious
establishment of the White House.
Some of our plain countrymen, not the
shoddyites of the war, nor the rogue since
the war of whisky rings and Pacific Rail
road subsidies, will stare at it,
A salary of $50, 900, a mansion sustain
ed in a style of luxury that few persons
dreamed of, furnished, repaired and heat
ed at an annual expense of $4,000, with
the very air breathed there perfumed by
rare exotics, propagated in $50, 600 gar
dcn-house, maintained at an annual ex-
pense of $1,000; u private secretary at
$1,000 year to do the Presidents writ
ing: two assistant secretaries at $1,000 n
wear. to do the work of the private secre-
i,ry: two clerks at $2250 to do the work
of The assistant secretaries (laushter); a
steward at 2OOO, to supply the Presi-
dents table with the choicest wines and
the richest vIands that cold tempt or satl-
ate his appetite; with $4,000 year for
hooks. periodicals, stationery, kilograms
and IA comical pau.c) other contingent
ci.s. What that meant he did not know,
hus he thanked God for the 'contingen-
cies" Caughter). Ifthe children OF Israel
sighed for the flesh pots of Egypt what
must be the anguish Of sensitive soul
when taking last, long farewell OF such
salary and lUxuries.

Disrae,i's reverence for the Queen

Dtsraeii heNSTehSe ioF t"e t"N
London Dispatch in New York Herald
Mr. Disraeli has personally always got
on better with the Queen than MIR. Glad
stone has. His constitution and temper
ament are such that he is admirably fit
ted to perform ceremonial duties which
Mr.. Gladstones great nature and lmper-
ial intellect have occasionally found irk-
some. 1t is one of the most delightful
things | know of TO hear Mr.. Disraeli, in
the House of Commons, make any refer
ence to the Queen, There is no doubt
whatever that when the Right Honora-
bic gentleman mouths the phrase "Her
Gracious Majesty" or when, as happened
ON memorable occasion. he Indignantly
rebuked Mr.. Gladstone, then Premier,
for fsncied slight to the Queens author
itv, he was absolutely honest and alto
cether IN earnest. There is something
about crowned queen that tasclnates
the "wondrous boy who wrote Airoy.'
He las an honest liking for forms and
ceremonies and purple ralment and jew
eled crown, and Is, to whisper the truth,
much inclined to bow down and worship
the silk stockinged calf, the magnificent
tiunkies who adorn tina portals of duke
rlcs and bask in the ante-rooms of royal
palaces. Thus, politics apart he has been
able to make himself more agreeable to
