A suggestion upon what shall be
done with our ex-Presidents has been
in the Century Magazine, to tho
effect that, when a Presidents term of
Office expires, he shall become a sena-
tor of the United States for life, with
half the, salary he received as Presi-
dent. The ideaE is unconstitutional
and contrary to the spirit Of repub-
lcan institutions The part relating
to the salary isnot SO material, though.
the theory upon which it is based is
wrong. The true doctrine Is to pay
public servants salaries commensur-
ate with the labor and dignity OF the
Office, and let them save therefrom srf-
fcient for future maintenance. The
practice Of paying the widows of pres
idents Sc, 900 per annum during life
viii probably be continued, and that
is as far as the country can go in the
way Of civil pensions, taking into &c
count the fact that judges of the su-
preme court are pensioned after retire.
