THE STRUGGLING SENATORS.

Raise of Their Salaries.

1.-The time has come" said that emil
nent publicist and scientist, DR.. Jacob
H. Gallinger, senator from New Hamp-
shire. the time has come when the
mere pittance paid senators and repre-
sentatives should be increased.
Thereupon Senator Gallinger, along
with fourteen other similarly under
paid, although hard working states
men, voted for an increase. called by
the ignorant and unsympathetic a
salary grab"
When one reflects how diligently Dr..
Gallinger has sought to evade the pub
lie demand that he serve New Hamp-
shire as senator; how he has fed from
state legislators and has been hunted
with dog and gun to final capture, one
cannot but indorse DR.. GaIlinger's
argument. According also to certain
allegations made BY former Senator
William Z. Chandler, 5r q case where
in his colleague was fes -ul ed, the cost
Of being made senator in New Hamp-
shire IS excessive. The general gov
eminent should help out.
q . D
This is doubtless the reason also
which moved Mr.. Quay Of PennsyI-
vania TO vote for the increase. Al
though fOrty-fOUr senators voted
against Gallinger and Quay and the
other thirteen who hoped to grab. my
sympathy goes with Quay and Cal
linger. How closely bitter poverty
bites and nips the Pennsylvania no
one but himself can say, and he wOn't

MEMORIAL SERVICES HELD.

the House.

Prince Henry Attends Exercises in
the House.
Washington, Feb. 2S.-At noon yes
terday in the great hall OF representa-
tives, in the presence of President
Roosevelt, Prince Henry of Prussia,
brother of the German emperor, the
members of the cabinet, the justices
of the supreme court, the general OF
the army and officers of the army and
navy who have received the thanks
of congress, the ambassadors and
other diplomatic representatives Of
foreign countries, the senators and
representatives in congress and
large number of distinguished guests,
the Hon. John Hay, McKinley's pre-
mier, pronounced an eulogy upon his
dead chief.
Four times before. national me-
mortal services for presidents who
have died in office have been held in
this hall, two of them, like this one,
in commemoration of chief magistrates
who have fallen by the hand of assas-
sins. George Bancroft, the historian,
pronounced the eulogy on Lincoln, and
Blaine was Garfield's orator. It was
eminently fitting that the last public
ceremonial of sorrow for the lament
ed Mckinley should take place in the
forum which had echoed his voice,
in the arena where he won his spurs.
A striking coincidence was the TWEEN
tieth anniversary of that on which the
peerless Blaine, in the same hall, de-
liyered his eulogy upon the martyred
Garfield, and stranger still, the sub
ject of yesterdays memorial service
was the chairman of the committee
that had charge of the arrangements
on that occasion. Who then could
have dreamed that the man who es-
corte1 the then president of the Unit
e.. States and the orator of the day to
their places was destined to be hon
ored, like Garfield, with the highest
place in the gift of his country, was
to meet his sad fate and was himself
to be the next martyred president
above whose open grave the nation
would bow it's head. Only one little
year ago, less five days, at the head
of an imposing civic and military pro-
cession Mckinley passed triumphant
ly along Pennsylvania avenue for his
second Inauguration. Six months
later the tragedy occurred at Buffalo
and another but different sort of pro-
cession tenderly bore his body
through the streets to the rotunda of
me capital, where the brief funeral
grafton was delivered over his coffin
and the tributes of the nations of the
earth about his bier bespoke the uni
versal sorrow. Yesterday, once more
with uncovered head, the nation paid
us last tribute of respect and publicly
expressed its living grief.
