SALARIES FOR BRITISH LEGISLATORS.

The introduction in the British Parliament
of lill to compensate members will be re-
garded with scanty approval by the wealthy
Conse rvatives, who look upon the House of
Commons as sort Of club for the entertain
ment of men of independent means. Similar
measures heretofore formulated have in

however, that something was done for the re-
lief of poor legislators and the extension of the
representative character of the body by the
removal of what has practically amounted to
money test. Men of eminent fitness have
been kept out of public life in England solely
through their inability to support the pecuniary
exactiums of Parliamentary life.
An adequate emolument for members of
Parliament might perhaps lessen the exclusive
ness of that assembly, but it would tend to
increase the number of really representative
men who have Of late found their way inside
its walls. The proposed stipend of $1,000,
which is less than that of New-York Alder.
man and little larger than the salary OF many
State Senators and Assemblymen, will strike
most Americans as painfully out of keeping
with the Wanted dignity of the Office. In this
country Congressman finds $4,000 and
miIeiige little enough TO provide for his own
main tenance and the incidental expenses to
which an expectant constituency subject him.
To be sure. the manner and duration of his
service compel larger expenditure than his
British colleague is called on to meet. Yet he
may live as he pleases. He is not in danger
of incurring the reproaches of his associates
if he condescehds to seek shelter at an ordinary
boarding house, and nobody predicts that the
foundations Of the Union are threatened II he
appears in public in ready made suit OF

The appointment Of Captain N. NJ. Brooks as
Superintendent Of Foreign Mails in the Postofiice
Department is a deserved promotion, and is In
harmony with approved Civil Service reform
principles Captain Brooks has been chief clerk
of the foreign-mais Office for a number Of years.
and is thoroughly familiar with the work he will
be called on to do in his new office. His efficient
service at his former post is guarantee Of tho
faithful performance Of duty as Superintendent
of Foreign Mails.
The Republicans may be somewhat cast down,
but, like the Apostle, they are very far from

In the past.
The Board Of Aldermen are about to 20 through
the annual form of passing in review the work
Of tho Board OF Estimate. This Is one of the
curious survivals in our municipal affairs. AS a
matter of fact, the Aldermen have no power
whatever over the budget which the Board Of
Estimate has made up, and it is decidedly to the
interest of the city that they haven't. No tax
payer would be willing TO trust the Aldermen
with the appropriation Of penny for any pur-
pose Still, the City Fathers have nominal
right to pass upon the budget, and they mean
to exercise it. If they choose to make any
recommendations, however, there isn't the slight
est probability OF their being needed. Still, it
can do no harm to let them exercise their ancient
prerogatve and it is easily possible that devoting
some attention TO this matter may keep them
out of serious mischief.

NOT DOING ALL SHE MIGHT.
Ella wheeler Wilcox Lectures Her Sis
fers

With all her increased opportunities,
woman IS not doing all she might do 20
benefit herself and the world, writes
Ella Wheeler Wilcox 10 the World.
She is striving 70 be- useful in remark
able and unusual ways, and allowing
herself 10 become useless in her own
kingdom.
To say that she is doing nothing, how
ever, in the way of right development
IS unjust.
Never since the march civilization
sounded the degeneration OF the perfect
physical being has woman made such
efforts towards physical culture, health
and beauty as she is making to-day.
Even deSpOtic fashion has been obliged
to modify her unreasonable whimS and
adapt them to the prevailing demand Of
woman for free limbs, unrestricted
waists and circulation.
Good health and bodily vigor are the
fortunate facts Of the time. \ sound
I body is an essential requisite of mother
hood. But in almost every other re-
spect. il seems 20 me, the tendency OF
/ the day is 10 ignore or deSpiSe the small
l but all-impOrtant matters which render
woman capable and efficient in the
lviciSSitudes and responsibilities Of
motherhood, and 10 strive after public
careers or snowy cOmplishmeutS.
The mothers, the school teachers and
the men OF the present day are all in
fault for this.
Mothers boast e the ignorance Of
their marriaceable daughters on sub
iectS Of rare import 20 themselves and
their offspring. As school girls they
learn q useless Smattering of chemistry,
anatomy, French aud botany, while
they are kept in profound ignorance Of
I the vast power mothers thoughts eX-
erciSes over her unborn child, and they
emerge from school % become wives
with no knowledge of hygiene, the
cuisine, the needle or the nursery.
The latter fact is due TO the indiSpu-
table preference which the average
young man exhibits for the snowy and
entertaining girl oversthc practical and
efficient one.
L Unfortunately, men want their
swcethearts TO be brilliant aud SNOWY,
and their wives % be domestic anu
practical. The girl who understands
how to sew, cook and nurse a sick
child does not attract the single men,
and the superficial belle does not satisfy
her husband after marriage. Hence
I the prevalence of divorce.
Either men must become more Sensl-
BILE before marriage, more resigned AZ
forwards, or mothers must begin TO
teach their daughters in their cradles
the necessity Of combining the useful
with the ornamental, the practical with
the entertaining qualities.

HOW MICH POODLE THEY USED.

The limit time in which the sworn re-
ports OF election expenses are TO be
fled by candidates in New York under
the provisions of the corrupt practices
act expired ON Saturday. These re-
ports aye very interesting and remark
able. and not the least SO is the account
OF Judge McApAN, now Of the New
York city Court. Just elected Judge OF
the Superior Court. The total is the
very considerable amount Of si,s35.5S'
almost the whole of which was eXpend-
ed on newspapers and other like publi-
cations, embracing such heterogeneous
Journals as the WiRc and Spirit Gazette
the United BiSim0t, the New York
Edgic. the sunday Union, the Hcbre'r
World. the HcbrciC Leader and other
sheets more OF less unknown 70 fame.
Hut il is not the amount Of his personal
expenses which Is peculiar; other can
didateS and for judicial positions at that
-sp,ut even more. What is most singu-
lar is that the Judge adds that $4,000
was contributed ON his behalf to the
Tammany campaign fund.
O.hcr election accounts are almost As
large rs that Of Judge MCApAN>. Mr..
MYERS. who secured the Comptroller

tion. and -. 500 to Tammany HALL De

a contribution TO Tammany and $4,000
for general pastors" and an unSuccesS-
full candidate for the Office of County
Clerk is ..out abou. 81, 500. These sums,
OF course, are paid Indirectly by the peo-
pie Except, perhaps. in the case OF un-
successful candidates., for nobody
would pay five or ten thousand for an
Office unless he could recoup il from the
salary appertaining thereto. Undoubt-
cdly the publicity caused by the new law
will have its effect. and it is especially
10 be hoped that the spectacle OF a
Judge expending $4,000 to secure his
Jndgeship will in time result in 4 change
of political methods. but that probably
is too much 10 hope.
