For this reason we urge upon Congress
the favorable consideration Of two bills. One
is general bill for all the United States Cir

District Judges BILL fixing their salaries

The Salaries of Federal Judges.

The Judges of the United States Circuit
Court receive a salary of $4,000 year, while
Judges OF the United States District Court
are paid an annual salary OF $4,000. These
salaries have remained fixed at these sums
for many years past, Notwithstanding the
great increase in the cost OF living. Four
thousand dollars. which might have been a
fair salary forty years ago, would not now
muchl moro than pay the house rent OF q
Judge either in this city or in Brooklyn. or
course the honor OF being Judge Of a United
States Court Is very great, and good law
yers arc willing to serve In post OF such
trust and honor for very small emolument
But that Is no reason why the incumbent Of

whore Governor HIN Stands.

It Is such errors as this Of our esteemed
Republican contemporary, the Indianapolis
Journal that help to make the truth plain
to all who have not yet got at the true in-
wardness Of the subject.
Governor HILL" saye the Journal
wants ballot reform. but only the kind
that will help Democrats"
Neither In nature origin, purpose. nor
effect could ballot reform with q penman-
ship attachment be classed as Democratic
scheme; but in the effort to fasten 1t upon
the Empire State our Republican friends
may be sure that Governor HILL will hold
to one purpose with the tenacity Of Old
Hickory himself, whose day We have lately eel
ebrated. 1t cannot be made to help the
Democratic idea. but It shall not be made to
hurt the Democratic party.
Governor HILL is not one Of that selfish
sort OF statesmen who having reaped the
rewards of years Of Democratic struggle. is
ready to use his hold upon his party to
plunge 1t under the pump Of Mugwump
gush. He gained his honors without hum
bug; he wears them without treachery; and
they are growing.
Our esteemed contemporary In the West
will also find that Governor HILLS deter
mination not to sec the Democracy Of this
State hurt is no more to be shaken by such
twisted criticisms from Indianapolis than
by the Mugwump rage for abolishing uni
versal suffrage.

A Question Of Clothing.

Some missionaries In Africa are greatly
troubled by the fact that the natives are not
at all eager to adopt the dress Of white men.
Not even the converts are willing to wear
the amount Of clothing which, according to
missionary ideas, is essential to respecta-
bility. One OF these good men recently wrote
of the old King Of Banza Manteke on the
Congo: I'VE believe him to be a sincere
Christian, but we haven't been able to get him
to wear as much clothing as we would like"
The aged monarch seems, however, to have
made some concessions to missionary pref
udices, for lady who met him recently says
that besides cotton cloth around his loins,
he wore flannel shirt.
Perhaps these natives show moro sense than
the men who are trying to induce them to
dress like white people. They have been ac-
customed from infancy to seeing each other
in scanty attire, and they think no moro Of
1t than we do Of seeing the crowds on Broad
way in ordinary street dress. The impro-
priety exists only in the minds Of those
who condemn their customs. The natives
object, In their hot climate. to swathlng
their limbs and bodies with close-fittinR gar
ments which are uncomfortable and serve
no good purpose except to please their white
teachers, who have ideas Of propriety that
they do not understand.
It Is difficult to sec that the missionaries
have conferred any real benefit upon the
natives In those parts OF Africa where they
have induced them to discard their loose
drapery and to ape the Caucasian style Of
dress. There are towns on the west coast
where the highest ambition Of the boys
tSNb ba tp ia -
the gaudlest cotton prints, and the girls In
their calico frocks, and with many-hued rib
bons covering their tawdry hats, think they
are too good to associate with former COM
panions, who wear only one flowing gar
ment and a handkerchief knotted around
their heads. Many traveller has referred
to the fact that the negroes OF Sierra Leone
imagine they are fully equal to the white
man II they only adopt his clothing. The
vanity thus engendered makes them very
ridiculous and useless persons.
Most efforts to induce people In savage
state or OF inferioy civilization to adopt our
dress have deservedly failed, the proposed
reform not being adapted as a rule, to the
requirements OF the climate. But white
men find 1t very advantageous at times TO
adopt the native dress. This Is the case In
the interior OF China, where the people. not
being accustomed to 500 tho odd garments
Of Caucasians with which the natives OF
tho treaty ports have become familiar, arc
apt to display an unfriendly spirit toward
white men in foreign dress. They have
found, however, that II they adopt the ma
tive costume they can usually pass without
molestation. can travel far moro cheaply,
and can pursue their labors with much less
peril Many missionaries in inner China
now wear the native dress. 10 that EAOt

Builder Vincent J. Slattery was asked

alone they owe their success in getting a
foothold in the city Of Huchow, which for
twenty years defeated all their efforts TO live
within It's limits. Some bodies Of Mission
aries, like the China Inland Mission Of Eng
land. have one and all adopted the native
costume. This month the Baptist Mfsston-
drv Md0dsfns Of Boston gives an interesting
picture of two American missionaries In their
Chinese attire.
These teachers could not do . more sensi-
BILE thing under the circumstances, for the
dress they have assumed is decent comely,
and comfortable. But the sooner come mis-
sionaries get over the idea that they are
sent abroad not only to preach Christianity,
but also to advocate trousers cut after New
York or London patterns, the better it will
be for their work,
