Judge Durham, the first comptroller of the
treasury, thinks he has discovered that there
is no provision in the organic act establish
ing the Court of Alabama Claims to pay GER
tain employees, and Immediately a great
shout goes up from the Democracy that the
administration has unearthed a "nest of fav-
orites' as one paper puts it "fattening off the
Alabama fund" There is no charge made
by Judge Durham even that these employees
whose pay he thinks is not provided for were
superfluous, there is no allegation that they
have not earned their salaries, there is no
suggestion that they were not employed in
good faith in the belief that the law under
which the court was established intended
that they should be employed and paid fair
salary. The sum total of Judge Durham S
alleged discovery is that in his opinion the
law strictly construed makes no provision
for their employment. Congress undopbted-
ly when it established the court intended
that it should have the power to
employ all the assistance that was
necessary for proper adjudication of the
large number of claims that would be sub
mitted to it. That was the construction put
upon it by Republican administrations. But
the Democratic administration in its zeal to
find something crooked has brought its mi
croscopic eye to bear and thinks it has dis
covered that some of the attaches of the
court have been illegally employed and paid.
1t may be that the letter of the law has been
rightly construed by Judge Durham, though
this is very doubtful. But it is certain that
without these employees the court could not
have proceeded with the business. The sum
and substance of the Republican offense, if
offense there be, is, therefore, in constituting
the law according to its spirit rather than
according to its letter.

The telephone monopoly seems to be rap
idly making itself exceedingly obnoxious to
the general public by its greediness In Bos-
ton it has refused to rent instruments to own
ersof private. lines between factories and
offices unless the lines are placed under its
exclusive control, and a contest in the courts
is likely to result In Pittsfeld, Mass, a
meeting was held the other night to resist
the increase of telephone rents, and the SEN
timent was general that if the rates were In
creased the use of the telephone should be
discontinued. In Gardiner in this State
where an increase is proposed the users of
telephones are determined to abandon them
rather than submit. While the telephone is
great convenience it has not yet become
an absolute necessity, and it behooves the
company not to be too grasping. Besides it
is by no means impossible that it may be
reached by legislation

A good illustration of the deadly effects
of sewer gas is furnished by the Bellevue

are twenty-six of the nurses and other atten-

this instance is more striking than is usually

The immediate delivery postal system ex-

the last census to contain as many as 1000 in

Mr.. Alexander Troup, internal revenue

not model person. But in one respect he is
far superior to a great many more preten-
tious Democrats. Mr. Troup is frank. To a
reporter, who called upon him the other day
and asked him why he was going to turn out
one of his deputy collectors, he replied
promptly, because he is Republican. And
then he went on and stripped off the hypo-
critical mask which the administration is
wearing in this summary fashion:

THE SALARY LIST.
What Actors and Actresses are Paid
for Their Services.

n. y. sun.
''In casting play the question of salaries
is at once raised. If the manager is wise he
has procured play which does not call for
very large cast or for many subsidiary char
acters, which, though not essential to the
story of the play, require the services of good
and hence well-paid character actors. An
experienced manager will choose play the
characters in which are confined as nearly as
possible to these; Leading man and leading
lady; first old man, comedian, soubrette, first
old woman and the necessary seconds and
supers. This will keep the salary list within
bounds, and will also enable manager who
wants to offer first-class attraction to en-
gage frst-rate artists without running the
risk of having his receipts eaten up by his
salary list. Salaries run about as follows:
Leading man or leading lady, from 800 to
$3.50 week. A leading man or lady engaged
from a firSt-clasS New York stock company
would command $3.50 on the road, which
would be an advance of about $50 on New
York salaries. Salaries paid on the road are
always larger than those paid in companies
which run the season through in the large
cities, that is, stock companies attached to
one or another of the large theatres of the
country Actors and actresses are usually
quite reasonable in their demands when
making contracts for positions in such stock
companies, but their figures are higher when
they deal with the manager of travelling
company In the first place they have to
meet their travelling expenses; secondly, the
hardships of travel and isolation from friends
which have to be endured on the road are
much dreaded. 1t is generally believed that
travelling expenses are paid by the manager,
but this is only exceptionally the case, unless
the troupe is minstrel company. The man
agement Of a minstrel show assumes the ex-
penses, because as the company is composed
exclusively of men, they can bunk in togeth-
er and thus reduce hotel charges.
Following the leading man and lady is the
first old man. His salary runs from $75 to
500, though an actor with the prestige of
New York theatre would probably ask 1925.
The salary of the comedian runs about the
same as that of the first old man. Next in
point of salary comes the soubrette. Her
salary, unless She be also comedienne, in
which case the salary is higher, runs from
$50 to 800 The first old woman receives
from $50 to S75. All other salaries are COM
paratiyely low

An English farmer says that it is to

that We must, in these days Of good
wages and low prices for produce, trust
for economical meat production. In
speaking of the value of certain kinds
of food. he says that with the OK it
takes twelve to thirteen pounds of nu-
triton to make one pound of flesh; with
sheep, nine to ten; and with the pig,
four to five. Thus. in one hundred
pounds Of the Swedish turnip there is
ninety pounds of water, which is only
equal to the production Of one pound OF
flesh. One hundred pounds of Indian
corn will produce about nine pounds Of
flesh. But it has been ascertained by
careful experiments that equal mixtures
of corn, peas, and oats. though seven
per cent. lower in nutriti,e qualities
than corn meal alone, may DO fed ont,

These are fulfilling my predictions,
made in 1872, when I wrote repeated
articles for the agricultural papers and
used my best exertions privately to pre-
vail ON western ranchmen to introduce
them among their herds, which was
soon done. Now, after some years of
experience with them on the great plains
and in the Rocky Mountain valleys, they
are found the hardest of all the i'm
proved breeds Of cattle tried there.
This may bs said more especially of the
Galloways. for their extra-long. thick
coats of hair protect them as well from
fierce winter winter winds and storms
as similar coats have ever done the buff
falo. In addition to this superior hardi-
ness, is the great advantage of
being without horns. The benefit of
this absence of the worse than useless
exorescence is bestowed almost uni
versally on the stock got by these polled
bulls ont of tho long horned Texas
cows. The form of this half-breed stock
proves also much superior to that of
their dams, for they mature year or
two earlier, turn out finer quality of
beef and are reared and fattened and
transported to market more economical
ly. Then there is the superior safety
in handling them-their milder and
quieter disposition, and the inability of
goring and hurting each other when
herded toghther. however closely. In
rearing this sort Of cattle on the great
plains, in preference to horned stock,
larger profit is realized. Indeed. this
advantage has been calculated at 8 to %
per cent. dependant on the breeds OF
these horned animals being more or less
against which they are pitted
in such trials.-A. b. Allen in n. Y.
Tribune.
