Laugston is not the nominee OF the party,

First That LangstOn is honestly no more

Second. That Langston is bOlter and
disorganizer, and let the Democrats use him

nominee for Congress IN this district, and

Third. That LangstOn in that case ran for

Fourth. That Langston threatened the

Koch has one assistant bound by oath not

that the great difference between the

\ Bin Making the Commons Pay Only
$500 Year.

LONDON. oct. 30.-Mr. Charles Fenwck
Gladstonian member Of Parliament for the
Waukes district OF Northumberland. has
prepared q bill which he will introduce in
the House of Commons as early as possible
after the reassembling of Parliament, pro-
yiding for the payment 20 the members the
House of an annual salary of $500. bill
OF this kind has been often suggested, but
never hitherto looked upon with any great
degree Ol favor by COmmoners for various
reasons. chief among them being the belief Of
the squarearchy, that the honor Of member
ship is sufficient compensation for the duties
performed. and the knowledge Of the sane
gentry that the attachment Of a salary To a
Pariamentry seat should be a GOd-send 10
most of the Irish members, and, therefore,
tantamount TO supplying the enemy with
ammunition. The elections ola Parliament
terry career, however, have told heavily
upon the purses Of many Of the former OPP
ponents of the proposition, and Mr.. Fen
wick Is now assured that large number Of
members will support the bill, and II is not
unlikely that the sum proposed as annual
compensation may De increased in spite Of
the Qualification which its payment would
afford the home rulers.
