About Prominent People.
General KnasOu,

Gen. John A.'Kasson, of Iowa, enjoys
the novel distinction of being an officer
OF the government who refuses to receive
cent OF salary, although carried on the
salary rolls. He was appointed by the
President, Immediately ter the passage
OF the Dlngley law, special reel procity
commissioner, and the salary he is re.
ported to receive was $4,000 a wear.
His negotiations with foreign govern.
ments resulted in reciprocity agreements
and treaties with France, Great Britain,
Argentina, Nicaragua, Ecuador and
other countries. Because of the failure of
the senate to act on the treaties, General
kasson decided last month to tender his
resignation. President Mckinley de.
clined to receive it and requested General
kasson to retain the Office. AS the ad
mnistratlon has decided not to permit
the signature OF any more reciprocity
treaties until alter the ratification of at
least one of the instruments by the SEN
ate, there is now comparatively little
work for General Kasson to do. He has
agreed, however, to resume the duty.
provided the senate will at the next SEES
sion ratiiy a reciprocity treaty or
treaties. He has announced, however.
his unwillingness to draw a salary while
he is not actively serving the govern
ment, and his pay will recomn ence when
he resumes the work of negotiation.
Senator HOar.
Sen. Hoar finds himself at the age OF
rs with his law practice gone and with
but meager bank account. Before he
entered congress he had an annual in
come of $50, 900, with every prospect OF
seeing his practice grow to $4,000. He
had saved 100000, and believed he
could keep his practice and still attend
to his duties in congress. He soon learn.
ed that this was impossible. His saw
ings were gradually dissipated. His 80
| years of public service have left him a
comparatively poor man 1t is by no
means clear that Mr.. Hoar has any
reason t)regret his choice of a career, even
from the viewpoint of his own seltinter-
est. lie has forfeited the opportunity to
accumulate his riches but he has won a
name winch many a rich man would give
all his wealth to possess and which no
amount oil money could buy. The fame
OF a great lawyer, like his work, is more
or less transient. The lawyers who have
been making $4,000 a year during Mr..
Hoar's period in congress will be forgot.

istration to secure peace. create con
adence. develop internal improve
ments. supplant the bolo with the
pillow and the block house with the
school house. It will give as large
a measure OF selfgovernment as the
natives have capacity TO exercise. Il
will let them prove their worth in
small affairs and increase their res
possibilities as they develop capa-
