AN AFTERMATH of the late election is
the barefaced proposition to increase the

Some Congressman say they fail to live
in Washington on their present salaries.
There is every reason to suppose that
the suggestion will crystalize into a de-
termined purpose, and that another bur-
den will be placed upon the shoulders OF

Mrs. Morris was fled in the United States
Court aud the list of those owing her
money might be used as a social register
with a few amendments. The conclusion
that the purchases were made without
the knowledge Of heads of families is ir-
resistibe because Of the fact that in the
list of debtors are the names Of many
who never allow those who sell 10 them
TO wait unduly for their money and the
milliuer has been made to wait an almost
