Salaries of officials.

Propositions to raise Washington sal
aries will generally be regarded with
suspicion. The explanation that the
officials are sacrificing large private in
terests to accept low salary from the
government has been stretched to the
limit. The fact is that comparatively
few men can earn $1,000 year in the
law or IN any other profession. Al
most any town could entertain com-
fortably a convention of those earn
ing more than this amount. With a
few conspicuous exceptions the office
holders i'm Washington are paid liberal
ly. The country sees no occasion for
the flood of bills to increase salaries.-

Now York,s Foundl ns Hospitals.

The founding hospitals in New York
have done n great work. The Infant
Asylum, founded in 1865. has been very
successful. Here mother and child are
kept together and thrive amid whole
some influences. When it was estab-
lished the death rate among infants in
the institutions on Randall's and Black
wells Islands was 0G per cent. This
rate has been reduced by the Infant So
ciety to nine per cent. and the intiu-
ence of the good work done here has re-
suited in great Improvements in public
institutions. This was the initial move
ment in private charitable societies and
led to the organization of the Catholic
Founding Asylum and many other in
stitutiOns that do vast amount Of
good work to-day. Ninety per cent
of the women cared for in the asylum
lead respectable lives. The system Of
keeping mother and child together for
months and the good influences brought
to bear have been copied in other Amer
lean cities and in Europe. One thousand
patients are cared for in the New York
institutions alone.

The United States government should

A reluctance to do this in itself
amounts to a confession of belief in
the wrongfulness of the policy. Ii,

deal with the people of the Philippines
on basis of utter disregard OF their
rights. we yet delude them with vague
