Bank Statement.
Official Salaries.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The salaries of officials of the United
States government have been increased sew
eral times since its foundation, and neces-
sarily, for the relative value of money has
declined. For instance. in 1889 the salaries
of senators and representatives were fived
at SO a day and SO for every twenty miles
of travel In 1875 these sums were increased
to 81 each. In 1916 the salary was made
81 500 per annum. In 1878 it was raised to
SIS a day and IS for every twenty miles of
and mileage as before and in 1906 the sal
airy was raised to 5000 and of the Speaker
to 5000. these are now.
The salary grab act of 1873. which in
creased the pay to 81 500 for senators and
representatives. aroused an indignant pro-
but because the raise was made retroactive
only in the case of Congress. and that feat
ure was concealed under a raise of the SAL
airy of the President from so. 600 to $50. 900
a year, of the chief justice from $500 to
$40, 500, and of the Vice President. cabinet
officers and associate justices from $1,000
to $4,000, none of them retroactive. This
salary grab act was repealed the next year.
and all the salaries except those Of the
President and justices reverted to the old
standard.
These salaries should be now increased
moderately, and the bill for that purpose
introduced into the last Congress ought 10
be passed. but no increase which would
justify extravagant expenditures commcn-
surate with those of many very rich men
is suggested, nor would It be defensible.

The Booth Family Quarrel.
From Public Opinion.


or the eight children OF Gen. and Mrs.
Booth who were trained to perpetuate the
family in the control of the Salvation
Army, Ballington Booth Is the only one
who has ever stepped out from under the
fold of "the ensign OF blood and fire." Bit
terness marked the separation which was
due to rebellion on the part Of the son
and his brilliant wife against the autccracy
of the Booth family. These younger Booths
had. between their coming to America and
the time of the separation. been peryaded
by spirit of democracy. They believed
that the army in America should be
American. or at least should have a voice
In its headquarters council in London and
In the making of Its laws. They wanted
America to be recognized as an indepen-
dent state, not held as a colony.
Yet after the split was settled on and
there was no going back. Ballington Booth,
with the genius of his mother In the early
days OF the Salvation Army, saw that he
must adopt something absolutely new, else
his independent movement must fadl. And
this something new Is the movement in
full swing today, known as the Prison
League" whose keynote Is tho salvation
of those who have been convicts." By no
means Is the Prison League the one reason
for the existence of the Volunteers of
America. but 1t 10 the distinguishing fea-
ture between 1t and the Salvation Army,
because the remainder Of their energies
with the exception. perhaps. OF the older
organtxatton's farm colonies In the west,
are directed along similar lines.

RETURNED TO IMPORTERS.
Drawbacks Of Over $37, 900, 900 Re
funded Since Julv Is. 1897.

The annual report of w. f. Andrews,
auditor for the Treasury Department.
shows that from July %. 1897, to June 80,
1905. the United States treasury has re-
turned to importers about S37 .591 677 In
drawbacks. These figures are in answer
to many inquiries from public men asking
as to the total of the drawback repayments
OF the government, and Mr.. Andrews took
some time in getting the figures together.
From July L. 1880, to July 1. 1897. the total
drawback payments were S24. $50 500. OF
So. 738.77S less than for the eight years
since that time.
The discussion between Secretary Shaw
and Senator Hansbrough as to the amount
of drawbacks paid by the government led
to general inquiry on the subject which
has remained unanswered to this time.
The government made other payments
arising from customs taxation besides
the drawbacks. From July %. 1897. to
June 80. 1905, the close of the last fiscal
year, a total of $2S.S79. 1858 has been paid
back to importers by reason of an excess
OF deposits. There have been refunded
in duties. by reason of appeals from de-
cisions of collectors and others, the sum
of S12.1S5.4 36 most of 1t being where
courts have overruled the position of the
government as to the payment of certain
duties.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Nine members attended the session of tho
stock exchange this morning. Altogether
ten visited the meeting place during the
session. but one stayed only a few mo-
ments. The difficulty was not. however.
with the number in attendance. but in the
lack OF orders. Those who were there were
able-boded and in the possession Of their
senses and were fully competent to do any
amount OF business that was intrusted to
them. as we'll as those who were away. but
the fact was investors had presumably
decided not to do anything on Saturday.
The majority of the brokers were Of the
same mind, and those who are not already
out of town enjoying their usual summer
vacation embraced tho chance to spend
Sunday at the seashore or at the club or
somewhere In the country.
The call ran along. therefore. without
any serious interruption, and the changes
that were made In the quotations were not
of much consequence.
