Mn. HAYES gets a salary OF $50, 900.
His expenses are less than $4,000 per
annum, leaving him net profit Of over
S4O,O year. II the Democrats de-
sire to and are capable of doing a sem
sible thing they will cause bill to be
introduced at the forthcoming session
OF Congress reducing the salary OF the
President to $4,000. Even that
amount is moro than the present Chief
Magistrate deserves. He is too parsi-
monious and niggardly in his habits to
treat the ministerial representatives OF
foreign governments around him with
that courtesy and liberality they have
experienced at the hands of nearly
every former President Of the United
States.-ArdidRehs.
