Salaries of Presidents.

Very few persons would suspect how
small the salaries of presidents of re-
publics are, when the enormous sum )
crowned heads receive are taken into
consideration. The foreigner often
thinks the $4,000 salary of the Presi-
dent of the United States is merely a
joke. and that lie receives ten times as
much III reality, but the same foreigner
may moi know that the French Presi-
est monarchs oncc reigned. receives
only S12O,OOO a year. The President of
the little Andorra republic contents
himself With a salaryof SIS a year. and
the President of the Swiss republic
must be satisfied with $4,000.

The Elizabeth Cady Stanton Polit-
icai Equality club of East Brooklyn
will hardly forgive the Committee on
speakers" which recently invited the
Rev. DIR. David Downey to address
the members at the formal opening
of the club rooms. The COMMITTEES,
it seems, discovered that DR.. Downey
was not only willing but anxious to
address the club, and without inquir-
ing into his views on the vital qnes-
ton of the hour gave him promi-
nent place on the program.
The good man was beaming upon
his audience as he began his address.
He had uttered only few words,
however, before it was discovered that
his sympathies were far, far away
from the objects of the Elizabeth
Cady Stanton club. He made the
following startling assertions to his
muchly agitated audience:
NO infant cares to perform the
housework and cook his own meals.
If his mother has date to talk at a
woman's meeting she will go in spite
of the fiery place and high water.
''Of course she can't take her in
FAINT along, and SO she has to leave
him behind. If the infant has ANY
ideas as to order and cleanliness he
will be very sad in the house that
his mother has Just left.
Floors are strewn with wearing
apparel, hoop skirts, and old shoes
the beds are unmsde, dust is heavy
upon the walls, and general air of
wretchedness pervades the rooms
Unwashed dishes decorate the break
fast table; the skillet, containing a
lonesome fried potato smeared with
poached egg, sits on the mantelpiece,
the coffee pot reclines upon the sofa,
and everything is as miserable as can
be imagined
"Here, in the midst of this worse
than chaos, the infant sits and reflects
upon the beauties of woman's suf.
frage.
rs it any wonder that he grows up
to decorate prison cellY Is it any
wonder that he smokes cigarettes Is
it any wonder that he is referred to
by every fine old lady in the town
as the worst boy unhungg'
Nothing could be more natural
than that DR.. Downey's remarks
should be pronounced "ungentleman-
ly," '.unmsnly" and "brutalln by
members of the club who have been
interviewed as to their feelings on
the subject.
The reverend gentleman says that
be was asked if he would like TO
speak on the woman's suffrage aues-
ton, and insists that he replied sim.
ply that nothing would give him
more pleasure. He denies that he
took an uufail advantage of the clab.
On the contrary, he holds that he re-
garded the invitation in the light of
an opportunity to do good. And he
does not hesitate to add that he was
disappointed neither as to the pleas
ure that he expected nor as to the
good he hoped to accomplish.

internal strife has arisen which has
made call for further meeting in

self as an expert in matters of equipage.
Stephen was all impatience to be off,
but it stood him in hand to be i'll the
