Lord Cadogan, as Victoria's viceroy
of Ireland, gets twice the salary of EN-
peror Mckinley, though he governs
only 100000 discontinued British sub.
jects, while the man from Ohio has
imperial sway over 100000 citizens
at home and 100000 subjects
abroad. If William 1. of North Anne
RIGA, Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines were paid in proportion to
Viceroy Cadogan's salary for services
rendered, and if he were emperor de
jure, as he is de facto, his annual sti-
pend ought to be 100000. In order
to maintain. his imperial dignity and
take rank with the other great mon
archs of the earth his salary should be
raised to that figure and over. Victoria
receives $1,925,OOO; car of Russia,
$5,000,00o; sultan of Turkey, $4,000 900;
William of Germany, $3,O0OOOo; Franz
Joseph of Austria, $4,OOO,OOO. They
have also enormous private incomes.
Oscar of Sweden is paid more than
William Of Canton. Why not increase
the salary Of 'Wobbling Willie" before
congress adjourns? There is big sur

A. G. Hales, the Australian CORE
preme contempt for the British officers.
In a letter to the London Daily News
he says: II have seen mere lads, in
this country, leading men into action,
who, in point of brains, were not fit to
lead a mule to water, and others who,
in regard to manners, were scarcely fit
to follow the mule. But, thank God,
the Beers have taught our nation this,
if they have taught us naught else
that it needs something more than an
eyeglass, a lisp, pair of kid gloves,
and an insolent, overbearing manner
to make a successful soldier"
