He also had . lump on his lip which was
very annoying and it has disappeared en-

500. 900. 600. Has ~ per cent OF the popula-
lion gained only > per cent Of the increase in
wealth, and is that a result OF which 10 speak
with pride?
H. twenty-five years this accumulation would
average $500, ,OO0 yearly as the result Of all
the toll of population which numbered 70
00O ten years ago. II cannot be said that they
were less fully or severely employed than IN
otfer States. for Georgia vas one Of only five
states and Territories in which the number OF
women earning wages was more than quar-
ter Of the whole number and ont Of 10000
females thus employed in Georgia nearly
$1,000 were agricultural labOreIS. Nealiy
&c 600 were females from ten to Fifteen years
of age. a larger number than was returned from
any other State Ont of 100000 persons then
at work it seems evident that at least 300 900
must have been colorcd, and if the number was
smaller for the first fifteen years 1t was larger
Tor the last ten. An average OF only So SO
yearly for every co.ored worker actually en-
ployed does not seem a large net result for
quarter Of a century Of toll. Is there any pOr-
zion cf the working population at the North
OF equa! number that would be contented with
no greater net result of labor?
Iowa had fewer persons employed in 1880
than Georgia and fewer males in agricultural
labor. though also 4 farming state. The in
crease Of wealth in only ten years, from 1870
20 1850. was over ono thousand millions, as
much as the increase in Georgia in twenty
wears. Rut viii anybody believe that half the
workers Of Iowa gained in ten years no more
than 100000 00O of that increase? The
wages of farm hands by tho month in 1873
were SlO73 without board in Georgia, and
So 90 in Iowa; ordinary farm labor by the
dav. not in harvest. WIS pl'd - cents in
Georgia and SIP in Iowa. without board.
and If cents in Georgia and 50 cents in Iowa
wi,h board This would seem 20 account for
a very wide difference in the rate Of accumula-
ion. II the hands received about twice a
much as in Georgia, the employers or land
owners probably gained less and 50 the ac-
cumulation Of nine hundred and eighty mill
ions in Georgia by the whites and only twenty
millions by the coorcd people who do at least
half of the labor j. division which would
obviously be impossible in Iowa.
This is the system about which people ask
whether it i, Just or wise. To far-mnded men
i i, cheering thing that colorcd workers in
Georgia 90 accumulate some property, even
though o. b. twentieth Of the gam for half
the work, Hut it is hardly evidence that the
laws AID customs Of Georgia do not restrict
or b'udon the part Of the population which has
been virtually deprived Of a share in the
government.

New-York tribune., 1890-01-04
SALARIES or rrDERAL JrDGES.

In each Of the last two Congresses Senator
FvaItS. supported by his colleague and by the
entire delegation from this State in Congress.
has sought to do justice 20 the Federal Jul
dietary Of Ncw-York n.y. securing 70 them q
salary mmcwha; commensurate with the
amount and quality Of their important work.
For reasons trivial and insufficient there has
thus far been a failure to act upon the bill
dealing with this matter, and It has now come
before the present Congress. 1t is measure
i'm which not only the Judges are interested.
but the people of the whole country aS well.
Indeed. it is vastly more 20 the interest OF the
public than Of the Judges that their Icmunora-
ton should AT least approach the sum which
they would unqucStionably be earning if they
wore engaged in the private practice ol the
Law. Ncw-Yolk il the trading mart OF the
American Continent, and il follows that the
business Transacted IN the Federal courts OF
this State. IN volume and in the liugacd in
teleSts involved, is nearly half OF the total
Federal court business OF the country.
This fact more than justiGeS the discrmina-
ton which the proposed salary bill makes IN
favor Of the New-iork Judiciary though the
discrimination as 10 salary runs by no means
ON parale lines with the discrimination As 10
Iaror. Although tho Ncw-YOIk Judges per
form fully 40 per cent of the business OF the
National courts it is not proposed that they
shall receive 30 per cent. nor >, Of the APP
preparation 1t is merely asked that salaries
be provided which will enable the Government
to secure and retain the services OF men who
are capable OF doing the work OF the courts.
The class and volume of business before the
Federal Judiciary of this city are in all re-
spectS equal TO the class and volume OF our
Supreme Court business, and yet Judge La
conlbe receives less than $1,000 year for
