Rich men ars Poor as Legislators,

A dispatch the other day
called attention to the sur
prisinRly larae number Of

draw. Some nj the well to do

less better for the country
that there is a large splink
ing OF this class .of men III
our legislative halls, Too
many men run for the House
merely for the paltry $5 600
there is in it, caring all to-
little about the interests and
welfare of the people. 1t is
the fact that menbers OF the
British ParlfInent draw no
salaries, that keeps the edu.
Gated and statesman like..ele.
ment in control of that body
and makes..it::the wisest and
safest legislative jasseEhly in
the world"
There is mnch..truth in. the
suggestions. On the other
hand it is q fact worthy OF
some attention that the very
wealthy man sometimes
takes a seat in Congress not
in the hope of enacting bet
ter laws but.for the. purpose
OF aiding some plundering
scheme. A very wealthy ship
builder. for instance, might
find it greatly to his, advan-
tage to accept a.seat in Con
gress to fight for ship subsi-
dies. We have no simpa
thy with those swho would
have the poor ldistrust the
rich and the rich distrust the
poor, but the other side OF
the Observers problem is
worth considering. Az the
Honorable Peter Stirling has
aptIy said, while the poor
legislators sometimes bribed
by another mans money. the
rich legislator ia just as often
brihed by his 0wu.-Char-

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Csrrespoadsntt.

.
While the past week 10
Congress has been productive
OF no important legislation
1t has teen replete with evil
dence OF the discord in the re
publican party and, in their
Efforts to secure the passage
of the Cuban reciprocity bill
in the House, the republican
leaders have committed them
selves to propositions which
will be carefully noted by
their constituents and which
they will And decidedly embar
assing during the next cam
paIgn. After adopting the
most drastic measures to
prevent the revision of the
tariff along the lines propos-
ed by Representative Bah
cock, earlier in the session,
and effectually resisting a re
duction which would have
curtailed the profits OF tue
steele trust and other great
corporations, they have con'
pletely reversed their argu-
ments, receded from their
position that the Dlngley
schedules are sacred have
cited Blaine and Mckinley
in favor Of the reduction of
the tariff schedules, but-in
both instances schedules
which benefited only the farm
prs, sugar and tobacco and
have secuted the idea of ma
king even a similar reduction
on refined sugar, the differen
tial on which benefits only
the sugar trust at the expense
OF the consumer. During his
opening speech on the Cuban
bill, Chairman Payne was
forced to adult that the con
sumer paid the duty on sugar
aud the II ankness Of the ad-
mission startled those young
er republican members who
ha We been trained to believe
that all duties are paid by
the foreigners. The argu-
ments Of Messrs. Payne, and
Long vii, all make excellent
literature for the democrats,
who favor a general revision
Of the tariff.

DILL OF 1858 dld away with
the whole schedule 0f fees for
American vessels, and moth
ing has since been given to
compensate Tor that reduq-
tion. The entire fee system
should be abolished and nd
equate salaries provided, and
not only should they be ade
quate but equitable In many
instances at the present time
the consul at a point OF little
Importance draws a larger
salary than one where the
work is 0nerOus and the du
ties require a high grade Of
Intelligence. And further, the
whole system should he or
ganized on a merit basis, in
stead of on the basis OF polit
ical preierment as ut present
and there should he provis
ion made for promotion and
general recognation of good
work done. Almost every
other government in the
world has q regular system
of consular training as a part
OF the cnil service OF the
country and the honors and
emoluments offered are suffi
cient to attract the best
young men Of the country to
enter on A life long career
with the assurance of a high
position as the reward Of dill
Iigence and ..aptitude. In A
merica, on the contrary, no
amount of valuable service
will ensure a tenure longer
than 4yr's especially If there

Moreover, the legislation pro
posed will not only benefit
the consuls, but the whole
service. By insisting on hav

sitions and required to speak
the language of the country
to which they are sent, the in
formation that they cangive
to the home government will
be doubled in value.

eat class Of labor in the world
and the influence Of those
'friends' is making itself felt
IN the Senate.
Recent disclosures 10 the
Philippine Committee OF the
Senate have become grave
sources of apprehension to
the administration. Reports
of tyrani"ai and brutal meth
ods Of dealing with the ma
tives are multiplying and, as
a logical eequence to repuhli-
can Imperialism, there comes
by cable the news of the ar
rest of two Manila editors
for lese maieste. According
to the report Of Major Gar
diner, civil governor OF Ta
byas. those PHILIPPINES who
were once friendly to this
country have grown to hate
it because of the despOtic
treatment afforded them by
the American soldiers and,
iu the view of the governor,
continued military occupa-
tion will result in leaviug
this coutry without a friend
in the islands, with the ex.
ception OF those who have
been appointed to govern.
ment Offices at mUnificent
salaries.
The determination of the
republican steering committe
Of the Senate to ignore the
wishes of the President and
and take the PHILIPPINE civil
bill before the Cuban reci
procity measure is another
evidence ol the disruption
which is taking place in the
party and the action of the
committee is heartily resent
ed hy the President. The an
nouncement, under oath, by
General Schofipld,.. that the
President and the Secretary
Of War we're not ON speaking

manding the Army, Miles, is
typical of the methods adop

tive balloons, and visible for the whole
distance from one to several times
around the track But / am strongly in

II shall investigate the possibilities
of a contest at New York in the au-
tumn and if 1 fino the prize offered to

When asked how large this prize

Bucking the windjammerr.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 16.-Just
as the clipper ships between San Fran
cisco and the Eastern ports were put
out of business by the steam freighters,
the time seems to be near when sailing
vessels will be driven out of the Ha-
waiian sugar trade. The fleet is meet
ing with ever-growing competition
from steamship lines. In consequence
sailing vessels already have to carry
merchandise to the Islands and bring
sugar home at rates that leave very
small margins.
No less than seven large steamers
will leave here during the next three
weeks for Hawaiian ports and all or
them will carry freight. The steamer
Enterprise is booked to sail for Hilo
direct. She has been especially htted
