were each fined 800, which was promptly
Paid. and they were released, but not until
Judge Woodruff had given them a severe
reprimand. He said that their conduct had
been disgraceful and illegal.
You call il haZing," he said, but we
call it riotous conduct. AS you are young
men pursuing an education, the court has
no desire TO place any obstacle in your way;
hence the court lets you off with a fine"
There are still five other students to plead
to like indictment, and they will probably
be disposed of in the same way.

A Clerk on Mr.. DOckery's Report.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
The reported deliverance of the Hon. Mr.
Dockery of Missouri. upon the subject of
certain contemplated economic reforms in
the executive departments of the govern
ment, has suggested the query: Why is it
that whenever a little retrenchment in the
matter of public expenditures is deemed
necessary by some one or more overzealous
would-be statesman, that almost inyaria-
bly, the first target aimed at is the salary
OF the tall things cOnsideredD poorly paid
clerk, upon whose faithful and sklllful per-
Torrance of duty SO much depends? Does
1t never occur to these gentlemen that If
ret-enchment is 80 absolutely necessary If
might be just as well for them to begin at
the fountain head. and turn back into the
treasury thousand or two of their own
rich and self-provided remuneration
Is 1t not a well-known fact that orr
American Congressman are whether de-
servedly or not the best paid legislators in
the world? Could the majority of them
realize one-half as much as they
are paid by the government in the
ordinary walks of business life?
We have no objection, however to
our Representa- tives being we'll paid but
while they live, they should be willing to
allow others, who are equally deserving
and who, as a rule, render a quid pro quo,
to also live.
little retrenchment may be effected by
means of parismonious policy, or through
the employment of cheap labo-, but econo-
my al the expense of efficiency rarely, if
ever, pays.
There are many men of recognized intel
lectual ability, and of varied accomplish
ments who, through the force of crcum-
stances, are compelled to perform clerical
work. Would it be fair to ask and demand
the services of this class of labor at a COM
peEsatio only barely sufficient I'm a city
like Washington to keep the wolf from
their doors? This should be a weighty con-
sideration with our law makers and one
that should be justly treated. Ii is easy
oftentlmes to make little cheap capital
and acquire a certain kind of prominence
by posing as an advocate Of reform in the
saving Of a few palt-y dollars but it is
generally found that he who sows to the
vino almost invariably reaps the whrl-
wind. CLERK
