OF election, it is said to be Secretary
Dawson's revolutionary purpose to
leave off the roll of the House, substi-

publican candidates. But Logan and
Dent cannot be prevented from taking
the seats TO which the people elected
them except by revolutionary force.
This must be borne in mind.

Reid and Secretary Moore Are the Only
members Of the commission eligible
to these fees, because they held no
other Offices at the time they served on
the commission, Day and Moore hav-
ing resigned their Offices in the State
Department. Mark that very shreWd
move to fix things so they could pocket
handsome fees Senators Davis, Frye
and Gray, the other members of the
Peace Commission, were not eligible to
fees because they were drawing saiar-
les as Senators. They merely nave
their expenses paid, while Day and
Reid scoop in $1oS,O00 apiece, and Sec
rotary Moore, who was Assistant Sec
Rotary of State but resigned with Mr..
Day to become secretary of the Peace
Commission, gets the neat sum of $780,
900 for his services!
All of which lets in flood OF light
on Mr. Days resignation from the cab
met almost at the beginning of his
term to accept service lasting but a
few weeks at nrost. He gets in one
lump large fortune, while as Secre-
tary of State his salary of $4,000 no
more than paid his expenses.
The sum of 100000 is the least Day
and Reid will each receive, as it is the
minimum for such service. Their fees
may be double that sum. 1t is payable
without reference to Congress ana
comes out of the National Defense
Fund of $5O,O0O,000.
Liberal, indeed, has President NC
Kinley been to his friend and Canton
neighbor, Squire Day, and to his
newspaper organist-in-chief, Whltelaw
Reid. of the New York Tribune. A
dispatch on the subject says:
THE justification for Days claim VIII
be found in diplomatic usage. whenever
a government finds it necessary to employ
an expert in diplomatic negotiations, he Is
paid a generous fee. John W. Foster, for
his services to the Boring Sea Commits
sion, received 10000. He had been Secre-
tary of State. His services, Days friends
say, did not remotely approach in i'm
portance the services Day has rendered.
When Foster was retained as special
counsel by China. in some of her dlpio-
matte negotiations, several years ago, he
received 100000.
1T is the preliminary resignation OF
Messrs. Day and Moore with view to
coming in for handsome fees as Peace
Commissioners that arouses the admlra-
ton of the political 'grafters.'
1T is not generally known that Mr..
Brannigan, Disbursing Agent for the
State Department, went to Paris with the
Commission, endowed with Monte Cristo
powers to draw on the $50,000,CV0 fund:
He is now on his way back.
mo one at the State Department could
even estimate the sum Mr.. Brannigan
has expended, for in addition to the per-
sonal expenses of the Commissioners and
the attaches, Mr.. Brannigan paid for the
official entertainment that the Commls-
sioners and attaches collectively and as
individuals furnished to officialdom in
Paris.
"It is not yet known whether the ex-
penses of the families of the Commission
ers will appear as a charge against the
