WHAT 1T REALLY COSTS.

1t costs the people of the United
States $ll4,S6 year for a Chief Ex-
ecutive. His salary is $4,000 and
found" as western people sometimes
say. The Presidents finding is rather
comprehensive, covering about every
possible requirement of a family. His
private Secretary, the clerks, door
keepers. messengers and steward, and
three other servants costs us $33, ,S65 a
year. Then there is a contingent fund
of 200 year which the President
may use at his own direction.
In furniture and repairs to the White
House, the sum of $4,000 more. to be
used by the direction OF the President
is provided by the nation and is al
ways expended. For fuel alone, s., 900
is allowed and for necessary repairs to
the greenhouse there is 1000.
Altogether the presidential finding"
annually amounts to the snug sum Of
S64 1865, nearly $4,000 year more
than his salary. The two aggregate
Sll4,S65. This is an imposing aggre-
gate, but it is small compared with
the other Presidents. The President
of the French Republic receives a
salary of $l2O,O0O a year and sS2.4sO
for contingent purposes, and hand
some house, rent free. So it would
appear that We get our President rather
cheaply, after all.-Washington Star.

LEGISLATORS

Virginia City Report: Every Leeisls-
ture has its cattlemen and sheepmen, q
farmer or two, g merchant, Q miner and 9
surplus Of lawyers. There is sure to be
one among the cowmen who look upon
sheep as an abomination and who de-
msnds that sheep be exterminsted by law.
He looks upon q COW as g sacred institu-
lion, demands that beefsteaks be made
legal tender, and asks for legislation max
ing IL hanging offense for any one to look
upon his neighbor's COW to covet her.
At the other extreme is the sheepman
who asks that the State buy soothing
syrup for his lambs. demands an exclusive
privilege to wander at will over the State
with his focks and consume or destroy
everything edible for stock in sight. He
would hail with rejoicing law making it
felony 10 drink cows milk or eat even
veal, and on general principles fights
every measure that favors anything but
wool and mutton.
The farmer expects the people to sus-
pend business and turn out en- mssse with
butterfly nets and fails to catch grass
hoppers and kill gophers.
The miner thinks his industry the one
supreme interest of the State, while the
merchant spends sleepless nights devising
legislation designed to reduce his expenses
and increase his profits, while the lawyer
wanders up and down the face of Legisla-
tive halls (horns and hoofs concesled)
and with smile suave gives just enough
advice on every measure proposed to
tie everything up in such hard knot
that he and his fellow professionals
will have profitable employment for
the next ten years. And over sll hovers
ths sanctimonious chaplain (no legislator
expect in things divine) who from love of
God, humanity and Sc per prayer, pumps
up from the depths Of less imagination sn
unctious three minute prayer filed with

owes his job and thanks the Lord for
blessings the people have not received and

HUNG In EFFIGY.

independent, March 16: A strange
sight greeted the eyes of Elko's early
risers this morning. Suspended by
the neck from the half yards of the
flag pole, the image of a man swung
back and forth in the wind. The more
timid thought vigilance committee
had been formed in the night and some
noted criminal had paid the penalty
for his crimes. A close inspection,
however, satisfied all that it was mere
ly dummy made up to represent Dis
trict Attorney Marion S. Wilson. The
dummy was dressed in pants of
black and white check, black coat and
a black hat. The head was made OF a
-four sack stuffed with straw or other
material. On the face were black
marks for the eyes. mouth and ears.
Tied to the feet was a board bearing
this inscription: "Notice the big head
since he became Dist. Atty. & high
school trustee. A big head & big coat
& little feet"
The dummy swung back and forth
in the wind until about 9 O'Clock, when
Sheriff Campbell cut it down and
gave it to an Indian. who packed it off
to his wickiup for the old clothes.
The cause for this display OF i'll
feeling towards the District Attorney is
supposed to grow out Of his stand in
the board OF education in favor of the
opening of the high school Monday
morning. But il this is the cause it is
difficult to see why the other members
OF the Board we're not treated in the
same way, as the Independent is in
formed that the Board was a unit on
the proposition.

PUMPING OPERATIONS DELAY

Pumping operations on the Com
stock are delayed by imperfections,
which may be reasonably expected in
the beginning OF all great operations.
II is to be hoped that it will prove a
success. Ii they lower the water 500
feet, it will open the downward con-
tinuation Of the ore body discovered in
Con. Virginia in 1886, when the stock
went up to $65 a share. There is no
doubt about it, says Alf. Chartz in the
Genoa Courier. When Jim Fair work
ed the big bonanza in the seventies he
left ore on the west which he deemed
beneath his dignity. In 1886 Superin-
tendent Patton went after this ore,
and took out about $500, 900 from it..
He could not get below water, and
that ore on the west of the big bonanza,
being really part Of the same body,
will be exposed by lowering the water.
There can be no doubt but that is the
ore the management is after now. 1t
is there and they know it is there, and
there is two or three million dollars
worth of il there. The grade OF this
ore is about $50 ton.

PROCEEDINGS INSTITUTED.

Reno Journal, March II: A pro-
ceeding in quo warranto was on yes
terday instituted in the Supreme Court
of the State by r. S. Osburn, relator,
against ii. III. Beck, T. X. Hymers
and George II. Frazer, Commissioners
of Washoe county. defendants. The
complaint in substance charges the
defendants with usurping the Office
and duties, as County Commissioners,
of town council for the city Of Reno, to
which office and duties K. S. Osburn.
Richard Ryland, John Micheal, w.
III. Noyes and N. W. Rolf were elected
on the eighth day Of November last.
The object of the proceeding, it is
presumed, is to test the validity of the
act passed by the Legislature at its late
session repeating the city incorpora-
ton act. The questions involved are
chiefly questions of law. The facts
should be admitted and the law ques-
tions disposed Of as speedily as pos
sible, in order that the people may
know whether they live in a town or
in city. and to settle at once the
business interests involved.

su,I More Counterfeiting.

The Secret Service has unearthed
another band OF counterieiters and
secured large quantity of bogus bills,
which are so cleverly executed that
the average person would never sus-
pect them OF being spurious. Things
OF great value are always selected by
counterfeiters for imitation, notably the
celebrated Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, which has manv imitators but nc
equals for indigestion, dyspepsia, con-
stipation, nervousness and general
debility. The Bitters sets things right
in the stomach, and when the stomach
is in good order it makes good blood
and plenty of it. In this manner the
Bitters get at the seat of strength and
vitality, and restore vigor to the veal
and debilitated. Beware Of counter
eiters when buying.

WAGES OF PEDAGOGUEs.

A few comparisons to show the pay OF
school teachers in Pennsylvania and other
States will prove timely: The average
wages for teachers in this State are. for
men, s320.24, and for women, S306.64.
In Massachusetts, the average is 81 1884, so
for men and s4S3 s2 for women; New York,
$3.50. 80 and $4s4 so; and Illinois, 1858 and
s339. In the country districts of Pennsyl-
vanis the pay is about three.sevenths as
much as in the boroughs and cities, says
the Pennsylvania Press. In this State the
pay for both men and women in the
country will average $225. The pay for
women in the boroughs is about 1925, and
in the cities from S400 to $3.50. The
average wages for women teachers in Erie
is S4OO; Pi,tsburg, $3.50; Allegheny. $3.50;
and Philadelphis, $3.50.
In Pennsylvania there are seventeen
teachers who get less than 500 each per
year; 1870 who are paid less than $3.50;
and 6, ,653 less than $500. Last year the
wages of the States teachers were reduced
an average OF "a cents, and the year before
S3.73. New York teachers had their wages
advanced last year an average OF $500,
and the year before $3.50.
