plantations. houses and villages. Exploring
parties say the track of the cyclone was half

The Salaries of Congressman Not Sufficient
to Meet the Demands Upon Them.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Nov 9-A congressman from
one of the metropolitan districts of Missouri was
talking with group of friends about the profits
-fnancial-there were in the salaries Of public
men.
II tell you there is not very much left out Of
the salary of a congressman said he, latter he
pays the expenses of his campaign and bears the
increased cost of living here. The first time
came to Congress, two years ago, paid out over
ST. coo for campaign expenses. Last year ] re-
duced the sum to $500. One has to pay the
assessments of State district, county. city and
ward organizations and pay the strikers, and
canvassers and men who stand about the polls
on election day, and, tell you, they count up
like everything. What is true in my case is
true in majority of cases of congressman.
suppose there are members, however, who pay
nothing, comparatively, for cam
paign purposes. l don't suppose Hol-
man, of Indiana, for instance, pays
more than 5000 for his campaigns. 1t may be
that he gets through on $l00 Then know con-
gressmen who expect to pay out as much as
their salary for their campaigns and contribu-
| tions to party funds So far as the salary is
concerned it doesn't pay a man to come to Con-
gress. A congressmans expenses here are very
much heavier than those of citizen in private
life, even though he lives we'll in large city.
The first winter was here had my wife and
| child with me. We lived at one of the fashiona-

and my expenses were just about $500 month.
That is, that was my bill for room. board and
other legitimate expenses. My family are at
home now, aud live in very quiet and unos-
tentaticus style, but find that my own expenses
will average just abou, 81 day"

Two Disputed Places Filled After Long and
Stubborn Contests.
Special to the India uapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 9.-The appointment Of
John b. Ruger to be postmaster at Lafayette
was secured after one of the longest and most
earnest political fights that has ever been made.
Several months ago Representative Ward de-
manded the removal Of Mr. Sample the present
incumbent, but produced serious charges,
and President Cleveland refused to accede.
Upon three or four occasions prominent citizens
of Lafayette who were at the White House, land
who represented both parties and all factions,
were asked about the character as an officer and
standing as citizen of Mr.. Sample, and they all
gave him a gilt-edged Endorsement There
were none who pronounced him Of
fensive upon political, social bust
ness, or any other grounds. About two
months ago the President became satisfied that
Mr.. Sample ought not to be suspended for any
reason, and so stated He intimated that it was
persecution and personal fight that he was called
upon to combat, and that but few persons were
interested in it while it continued in the latter
form. Later, however, Representative Ward
brought to his aid Senator Voorhees,, and other
influential Democrats from the State, and the
attack upon Mr.. Sample was renewed with vigor
Charges of offensive partisanship' were filed,
also, and with those as a basis his suspension
was effected to-day. The victors have earned
their spoils Mr. Ruger the appointee, is said
to be a very good man, thoroughly competent to
satisfactorily perform the duties of the position
He is wholesale baker and confectioner, is
about fifty years DID, and substantial and pop
ular citizen.
The appointment of editor John M. Higgs to
be postmaster at Connersvile was also effected
after q bitter fight Of several months. 1t seems
that while Mr.. Hiegs was participating in the
war of the Rebellion some of his enemies pre-
ferred charges against his moral standing as q
citizen, which led to divorce from his wife.
When he returned from the war. however, he
proved the falsity of the charges and remarked
his wife, and they have raised family. When
he applied for the postmastership, few months
ago, his enemies at Connersville took a tran
script of the court proceedings which had di-
vorced him from his wife and sent them here to
defeat his appointment. The matter delayed
the appointment, and, for while, seemed to
have defeated it; but Senator Voorhees, made an
investigation into Higgs's record, and becoming
satisfied, recommended his appointment 1t
will not, it is said, be hailed with delight by
all Democrats of Fayette county.
