Democratic commissioners were
CHOSEN in Fulton county at the cleo
ton in November. After taking
their office the commissioners APP
pointed republican as secretary of
the board of health. This aroused
the ire of the democrats, who nat
urally thought that one of their
number was entitled to the position
A contributor to the Rochester Re-
publican explains the action of the
democratic county commissioners in
appointing republican by stating
that the candidate put forward by
the democrats bad resided at Roch-
ester only a few months and that
he is a subject of Great Britain and
therefore not eligible. eff this be

WHY SECRETARY DAY RESIGNED

WHY SECRETARY DAY kESlGN ED
The peace commissioners took
their own time in Paris in order to
give some appearance of earning
their big fees. They put in 90 days
and Washington dispatch says:
"Ex-Secretary of State Day and
Whitelaw Reid will receive at least
100000 each. James Bassett
Moore, secretary of the peace COM
mission, will receive $4,000 for his
services in Paris. Senators Davis,
Frye and Gray under the law can
not draw two salaries, and they will
have only their expenses paid in adj
dition to their senatorial salaries.
This information has been learned
at the state department. 1t was re-
ceived by the politicians generally
like a flood of light from a dark
cabinet. 1t explained why Secre-
tary Day and Assistant Secretary of
State Moore resigned their perma-
nent positions to take up duties GER
tain to last not more than three
months. There was no reason why
Mr.. Day, as secretary of state, and
Mr.. Moore, as assistant secretary of
state, could not have acted as peace
commissioners. Mr.. Day had talked
of resigning from the cabinet be-
cause of his poverty and the neces-
sity he experienced of earning more
than SIS, 900 year. His friends con-
ceived the idea of his temporarily
stepping out of the United States
service for the purpose of making a
comfortable sim, after which he
could easily afford to return to the
government at the slender compen-
sation it gives its employees. The
sum of 100000 each for Messrs.
Day and Reid is the minimum fig
ure. 1t is payable without reference
to congress out of the national de-
Tense fund of $50, 100000. The ac-
tual expenses of the entire commiss-
ion outside of these fees will be a
bagatelle when compared with
quarter of a million which the three
distinguished gentlemen will receive.
The aggregate personal expenses of
the five commissioners at S2S each,
will be SII,25o. The expenses of
the attaches will equal that sum, as
they are all carried on their respec-
tive pay rolls, and each is givenAS5 a
day for his personal use."

Col. VIM. ]. Bryan insists that
the soldiers sent to the new Ameri-
can possessions ought to be better
paid than they are now and suggests
an increase of so per cent in their
wages. The risks of disease, the
work to do, and the exposure in en-
ervating and disease breeding tropi-
cal climates should command higher
wages than the soldiers receive.
Colonel Bryan is right.
