Hamilton Fish's Refusal to Accept Salary as
a Public Official.

In one respect, l understand Mr.. Fish is
unique among the statesmen of the United
States. Throughout his long experience
in public life, he has never accepted a dol
lar of salary from the government or
state treasures, holding. apparently,
with the members OF the British parlia
ment and cabinet, that the honor OF serv-
ing ones country is ample compensation.
In England this idea hiss all the force Of
unwritten law. On this side of the water
it Is unheard OF and Mr.. Fish is probably
the only American in public life who has
steadfastly adhered to it.
The admirers OF Allen G. Thurman are
already planning signal honora for him
on his S0th birthday, November 10 next.
For forty years Columbus has been his
home, and he is Its first citizen. When he
entered congress in ls45. he was the
youngest member. He was justice of the
Ohio supreme court from 1851 to 1854 and
then chief Justice until 1855, refusing a re-
nomination. He was beaten by Ruthcr-
ford B. Hayes for governor, in 1867, by
only 5000 votes, though the republican
majority at the previous election was
$1,000. In 1869, he succeeded Benjamin F.
Wade in the United States senate, and
was reelected in 1874. In the national
democratic conventions of 1870, 1880, 1884.

The Great Apostle OF Prohibition,

hen there is General Neal Dow, brig

for two and a half years of the civil war,
but full general of the prohibition forces,
of the state of Maine almost since
his birth in Portland On March 20,
lso4-certainly for the last sixty years.
When, in 1857, the committee on the
prohibition party to whom he read 1t, OPP
posed q bill he was about to ask the legis-
lature to enact, as too radical, he went
single handed and alone before the gen.
cral assembly and, though it was the last
day of the session, had his measure made
n law. In 1877, in 1855 and again in 1874,
upon Invitation OF the united temperance
societies of Great Britain, he crossed the
Atlantic II delivered many public ad-
dresses there. In 1880 he was the presi-
dental candidate OF the prohibition
party, but received only 0,S05 votes. But
II he was not q potent factor as q national
candidate, he carried Maine's approval in
1884, by q vote OF 8 to l, in favor OF a state
constitutional amendment by which the

of intoxicating beverages is forever for
