better Pay for statesmen.

Congressman are not satisfied with the
compensation they receive. They wouldn't
be satisfied IL they were paid twice as
much. The salary of a congressman is
5000 year. He also has a clerk whose
salary is $1,000 year. In good many
instances most of the clerks salary finds
its way into the pocket of the congress-
man. SGT
Besides a clerk a congressman has $1s5
each year for stationery. He may take
the amount in paper, pocket knives or
cash. He doesn't have to pay any letter
postage and, as a rule, he is furnished
with passes on the railroads, although ne
receives mileage. 1t is safe to say that
a congressman gets about 5000 year.
Out of the two years for which he is
elected he is in Washington about eleven
months. Therefore, for eleven months
work he is paid about $1,000.
1t is reported that Representative Boat
ner of Louisiana proposes to offer dur
ing the approaching session of congress
a bill to increase a congressman salary
to $500 year. MIR. Boatner will not De
a member of the next congress, he having
declined a reelection.
1t is pretty certain that of those who
should vote for the Boatner bill very few
would ever get back to congress. In the
recent campaign of education the people
were taught that prices have declined so
much that 1t costs a man only little
more than half as much to live now as &c
did twenty years ago. If, therefore, con-
gress were to attempt to increase the
salaries of its members in this period Of
low prices of food products and clothing
1t would arouse a feeling of violent oppo-
sition.
When the salaries of congressman were
increased from IS per day to $1,000 year
the people protested strongly. They
thought then that congressman were be-
ing well paid What they would say if the
alleged Boatner bill should be passed cam
not be predicted with any degree of GER
tainty. 1t is pretty safe to predict, how
ever. that they would make congressman
wish they had never heard of Mr. Boat
ner and his bill.
A higher salary would not insure the
election of ADLER men to congress. 1t
would bring to the front a crop of men
who would think more of the pay of the
office than the welfare of the country. III
Mr.. Boatner desires to do those of his
congress a number of years a service he
will keep his salary raising bill in pig.

Representative Dudenheffer of louisa
mia, who has won more or less fame by
framing and having passed a bill to pro-
hibit high hats in theaters, is said to be
contemplating the Introduction of another
bill to abate certain nuisances of the play
house. He proposes TO get after the peo-
pie who go out between acts to "get a
Glove" and those who chatter and dis
turb their neighbors for a half dozen seats
away. 1t may be doubted that Represen-
tative Dudenheffer win succeed in his OBJ
Ject. But there is no telling. A few years
ago it might have been seriously doubted
If it were possible 10 abate the high hat
nuisance. We shall watch Representative
Dudenheffer's efforts with interest, and
applaud him every time he makes a good
point

Rose Coghlan is to be rendered a benefit
performance by certain leading New York
men and theatrical managers. 1t is said
Miss Coghlan's finances have reached the
point at which her friends think
1t necessary to come to her

Coghian was making barrel of money"
and could have continued to do so If she
had been content to let well enough alone
She was member of stock company in

OF big salary and crowded house She
could have remained a popular favorite
Tor long time. But she wanted to be a

the result that she has poured her savings

The New York Times has selected for its
motto: 'All the worlds news, but not a
school for scandal" 1t is a good motto,
and we expect to see the Times live up to
1t. 1t is refreshing to turn to a New York
newspaper which refuses to make of itself
daily school for scandal" after observ-
ing the fierce competition between the
leading opponents of the new Journal

The terrible bubonic fever, or plague, is
raging in Bombay, India In one week re-
Gently there were several hundred deaths
from it, some of the victims succumbing
in less than twenty-four hours from the
time of attack. 1t is said the death rate
OF the city has been increased more than
90 per cent. by the plague. The authori-
ties say that 60 per cent. of the cases of
plague are fatal Experts cannot tell
what causes the disease. The ignorant
Hindoos are resorting to all sorts of de-
vices. based upon superstition, to avert
the calamity.

CURED at Sylvania on Sunday evening. The
circumstances seem to be such as to war
rant the grave suspicious which his
friends are said to entertain. IT, is to be
hoped that a speedy and searching legal
investigation will be held for the purpose
of ascertaining the facts in connection with
his death. There have been altogether
too many untimely deaths in Screven coun-
~ lately. There is danger that the county
will acquire worse reputation than Dead
Mans Gulch, or some other of those more
or less mythical wild western commune
ties which we read about The law-abid-
ing citizens Of Screven should assert them
selves through their courts to the end
that the good name OF the county may be
retrieved and sustained. f,s

The Florida senatorship.

The Florida Citizen is ANXIOUS that only
a man who can render that state good
service shall be chosen to succeed sena-
tor Call. The question:, it says. that
should govern the legislature in making
a choice is. "who will be able to render
the state the best service in. the upper
branch of congress during the new era
that is now opening?"
The position taken by the Citizen is one
that ought to command the approval of
every citizen of Florida. Free silver is
therefore, be folly to overlook sound,
money men of recognized ability and
worth, and send to the Senate a free sill
yer man simply because he is sill
yer man. 1t is certain that sound money
men will be in the majority in the next
congress That being the case. the repre-
sentatives and senators who favor sound
money will be in a much better position
to serve their districts and states than
those who still contend for free silver
The sound money men will control and
the silverites will be without influence
Florida expects to make great progress
within the next few years. She proposes
to hold out all the inducements she can
TO immigrants and capital. If she should
send a sound money man to the Senate
that fact would be of great assistance to
her 1t would be an advertisement such
as she could not get In any other way
and, besides, a sound money senator could
be of far greater help to her in a sound
money congress than a silverite.
The members of the Florida legislature
should give this matter very careful con-
sideration. The abiest democrats in Flor
ida are against free silver. From among
them a senator should be chosen. The
democratic members of the general as
sembly will make a great mistake If they
assume that because the state gave its
electoral vote to Mr.. Bryan a free silver
senator should be chosen. The fact
should not be overlooked that thousands
of sound money democrats voted for Mr.
Bryan simply because he was the regular
nominee of the democratic party.
Even the silverites should be willing TO
make concessions for the good of the
state. and we have no doubt that some
of them will when the question of choos-
ing senator comes up for consideration.

Congressman Grosvenor of Ohio is be-
ing mentioned" in connection with the
office Of commissioner of pensions in Nc
Kinley's administration. There is some
thing to be said in favor of the sugges-
ton, and something against it. The com
missioner of pensions has great deal to
do with statistics, and statistics are Gen.
Grosvenor's strong point. The commits
sioner of pensions has very little talking
TO do, and silence is not one of Gen. Gross
venor's strong points He likes to talk.

From the Birmingham News de

The real cause of the big slump in rock
ribbed democratic states everywhere this
year was the unsound platform which the
party adopted at Chicago. If the democ-
racy repeats its error the small democratic
majorities yet remaining in many nat
urally democratic states may be wiped
out entirely. The lesson Of November,
1896 should be needed.

No tears will be shed over the death of
the wire nail trust. There are certain
trusts which arr really beneficial, at least
to consumers, in their operations. But
the wire nail trust was not one of them.
1t was formed and operated for the sole
purpose of squeezing every cent possible
out Of everybody it could. 1t was trust
in the worst sense of the word. There
are those who will be able to see the work
ing out OF retributiYe justice in the col
lapse of the trust. 1t set about to crush
others, and was itself crushed by it's own
operations. 1t fixed the number of kegs
of nails that might be produced by its
plants, and named the price at which the
nails should be sold. The trust people
had no idea but that every key of the pro-
duction would be sold at the price fixed,
and that the consumers would be clamoring
for more. But people declined TO buy more
than about half of the trusts output. 1t
therefore soon found itself loaded down
with nails, and under the constant fire of
outside competition. The end which over
took it was inevitable. Now there is a
scramble to sell nails.

The cane harvest season is on in Louis
lana, and the harvest is being pushed as
rapidly as possible. with the amount of
labor to be had. The New Orleans Plea
yune reports that labor is extremely scarce
in the sugar belt. Extra labor cannot be
had for increased wages. AS things are
now, the planters stand a good chance of
losing a considerable proportion of their
cane through freezing. Many of the mills
are not running ON full time, because the
cane cannot be moved, from the fields fast
enough to keep them busy. In some of the
parishes contiguous to the sugar belt
there is an abundance of black labor, now
idle. But the blacks do not care to work.
and decline to go to the sugar plantations.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER "a. 1896

We noted the other day that the Pitts
burg police had in thor possession a piece
of pumpkin pie which they regarded as
strong clue to the perpetrator of certain
burglary. Events have proved that the
police were right. The burglar has been
caught and convicted, and the pumpkin
pie. convicted him. While the fellow was
going through the premises he had broken
into, he found piece Of pumpkin pie.
The temptation 10 laste it was stronger
than he could wi his and. He bit it, Had
he eaten It all, De might have escaped.
But he merely BIT IL and when he found
that it was not such pumpkin pie as his
mother used to make, he replaced the Bit
ten wedge on the platter. This act was
insult heaped upon injury to the pie.
But II. had its revenge. 1t retained a per-
feet imprint of he teeth of its burglar
despoiler. A man was subsequently ar
rested on suspicion. He was confronted
with the pie, and Ulen 1t was fitted to his
teeth he gave in and confessed. There is
a lesson in this inc dent for all wise burg
lars. 1t is, never yaste pumpkin pie dur
ing business hours; but if one be tasted,
eat it all, even If bride made it.
