Are Men to Fyp

An able writer, who refers to vulturcs,
condors, and other heavy birds smiling
through the air. OF times apparently mo-
~tionless, says there can be little doubt
that II Is only on account OF the perfect
steadiness Of their motion through the
air that they are thus supported. The
efforts Of tho nroplane m~echanicians are
directed TO secure a similar steadiness OF
motion for nrial facilities. This being
supplied, there can DO no reason why
tho powers OF steam and steel should
not avail in producing q speed surpass-
ing tho flight Of the swiftest birds. A
writer In tho Ioiod Patent O9ioe tells u
unless we aro willing to believe that
birds fly by somo power distinct from
any which physical science deals with.
We seem justified in believing that the
bird may DO matched. or surpassed. by
the proplano navigator now constructing
in California.
II Is encouraging TO consider that tho
actual amount OF power necessary to

ruE PREslDENr-s SALARY.

All good square liberal Americans will
not be pleased to notice that the United
States Senate has by q considerable ma.
jority passed q bill reducing the salary
Of the President from $4,000 year
to $25. 900. The cry Of reform and re-
trsnehmsnt has been adopted By the po-
liticai parties for . rallying vatehvord
during every campaign for thaiass ATTY
years at least without approaching any
nearer to the contamination Of that
~praiseworthy object. and 10 seems
not only rather late in the day. but
absolutely pieayunish. 10 e~onsentrats
upon the reduction Of the salary OF
the chief officer Of the nation
to q mere pittancs. II the Presi-
dents salary were raised to 500. 600
instead. there would BE- some sense In
It,. There Is no style about $25, 900 In
that case. Why should We elect agood
man to that high. responsible and
costly ONCE and then starve the poor
fellow to death. or pay him such poor
wages that he cannot keep up the costly
dignity OF the Office without impover-
ishing himself and appearing As well as
feeling mean. The President OF tho
greatest and most prosperous Republic
tho world has ever seen. should DO well
paid, and not be made o national pau
per. The language Of the Constitution
relative TO this most important matter.
IL not that the salary Of the President
shail Be Interchangeable. but that be
shall "at stated times receive for
his services u compensation which
shall neither DO increased or diminished
during the period for which no shall
have been elected" with this import
ant addition, that no shall not receive
within that period amy other smolumsnt
from the United States or any Of them."
Tho intention and spirit Of this Ian
euago clearly is. that Congress should not
only have power to increase the salary.
but looked forward TO the future neoss-
sity Of such increase. with the growth
and prosperity Of the country. The
salary was originally placed at $4,000
per year. and recently was increased to
$4,000. Now. instead OF reducing II
back to tho small old figure. II
would look much better and 30
more just to increase Il TO $780,
900. II. however. $4,000 Is to
Be the figure. Ii should be especially
stipulated that this sum should b q
clear salary. over and above
all expenses incurred in supporting the
dignity Of that high. honorable and
responsible Office. Tho American pso-
pie have NO right to be mean and close
listed In this National matter.
