The compensation Of the members Of
/ the French. German and Russian cab
/ inets is not uniform. as In the United
/ states and England The imperial
| chancellors and ministers OF foreign az
fairs OF Germany and Russia receive
much greater compensation than thelr
/ associates
The system Of jurisprudence Of
! France. Germany and Russia differs
widely from that OF England and the
] United states. In many Instances
! judges receive some portion OF the fees
| Of their respective courts and In many
| cases allowance for expenses. Their
total compensation Is said 10 exceed
/ that Of the judges Of the United States
/ courts.
II IS stated that II actually costs our
| ambassadors or ministers pleuip0ten-
/ tlary OF the first class more than double
/ the salary they receive 20 pay the
necessary Official expenses at the re-
/ spective capitals 90 which they are ac-
| credited In fact &c is known that one
| OF our recent ambassadors 90 Russia
could not obtain, by paying his entire
/ salary, a suitable residence no ST.
Petersburg The principal nations VI
| Europe not only pay their cabinet oiil-
| GERS ambassadors and ministers much
| larger salaries than those paid by the
United states. but they also provide
! them with official residences, and main
tain them. besides making an allow
ance for the customary official enter
taluments. our cabinet officers, am
bassadors and ministers are expected
10 live in as fine residences and enter
tain as literally as their foreign asso-
clates. and as a rule they do so, paying
the necessary expenses thereof from
their private Funds.
The investigation Of the payroll OF the
United States brings out some curious
anomalies At least one of the subor-
| dnates Of the secretary Of the treasury
now receives a salary Of $4,000, while
! the secretary only receives $1,000 one
Of the assistant treasurers Of the Unit
| ed States receives 5000. while the
treasurer OF the United States receives
| only $1,000 Yet the treasurer is respon-
/ slble for AN. and Is also the custodian
/ OF more than 100000 600 in money and
bonds deposited with him by the ma
/ tlonal banks ~ the Republic 10 secure
/ their circulation. and government de-
/ poslts and his salary ot 5000 Is less
| than half ~ the salary now paid by
/ single national banks 20 their presl-
dents.
