Salaries In High Places.

Tor SeptempeE
 We are asked to raise the wages of our public servants at Washington. Senators, 1t appears, and Representa- tives find 1t impossible to live on $5,O0O ries are pinched on $S,OOO Ambassa- dors. with $l7,50O. blush with shame for the niggardliness of their country. The President, with $50,000 and free house rent and other perquisites running up Into the tens of thousands annually, has not publicly rebuked the proposition that the salary Of his office should be doubled.
 American laborer is below $500. Has any of these impatient $5,000 a year gentlemen strained his vocal chords de- manding the raising of that last named average?
 The man so bitten by vanity and self indulgence that he cannot live oomfor- tably and well on $6,000 a year is unfit to sit iR either House or Senate. He Is not on his work, but on his own desires. He Is the man who Is determined to get what he earns" and who will therefore never earn what he gets. He Is poor investment for us at any price.
 The common saying that none but rich men can afford to accept an Amer ican ambassadorship," is vicious He. yates mere wealth above brains and character If 1t were true, then 1T would be sufficient proof that we ought instantly to abolish our embassies, since their business no longer required man but a money bag It is utterly false. Poor men can afford to accept American ssadorships-men who would far more Ally represent the ster- ling average of square and industrious American citizenship than any mere money bag could do. They are offered no such opportunity; in this era of mad greed and vulgar display among the hordes of newly rich who have nothirse but money it has become an unwS.tten h of both parties that our principal diplomatic poAts shall be reserved for croesuses who contribute-oT for corpo~ ration lawyers who are deeEned by their indulRent masters 10 havks earned a vacation abroad-at public ,expense

Fr,epd.hip Between Nations.

Boston Transcript.
 In the interchange of amenities at recent banquet given to the French na- val officers in London Premier Balfour gave utterance to what we are glad to believe Is a truth, and if so very gratifying one Speaking of the new and cordial relations that had been es- sented by guests and hosts. he said: There have been times when the idea of national friendship excepting for the purpose of annoying some third practical politicians, but glad I am to think that these days are now gone. v Loud applause greeted this statement. He might even have put the matter in a positive and yet stronger way by saying that hardly if ever before had there been a time when any other con- sideration than that of temporary ex- pediency was made the basis of an en- tente cordiale between nations.

BIG ELECTRIC DEVELOPMENTS.

 The Manufacturers Record of Balti- more in its last issue, in reviewing the remarkable development Of water pow CTS in the South for electrical transmits sion, says. , less correctly so, that at the present time the South leads the entire coun- try in the number of water-power-ei cleo trical plants under construction and in contempIatlon. Some of these are of great magnitude, rivaling in import ance the largest electrical power deVel- opments in the country with the excep- ''Ss Not It far evea behind the first cleo trical development of Niagara Is the undertaking at Whitney. u 5.

This, by far the larg- est single wateF-power enterprise Tn the South, and one of the largest In the country, has stimulated widespread interest in what Is being done along this line of work throughout the south. Exceeding even this in the aggregate of power to be developed is the project of the Southern Power Company, re- cently organi2 sd with capital stocN Of S7, 5O0 900. which has taken over the lsAtaWDa ROWGT SOlHpdhSt NAth at Charlotte, N.

 A well known citizen demanded the solution of this mystery yesterday or a newspaper man. The newspaper man didn't know the answer. He explained that the state of mind of Birmingham on the question of yellow fever and quarantine was so frightened, so ner- vous that one could not expect reason- able action from the city.
 There ought to be some answer to the question of why Birmingham quar- antined Montgomery and did not guar circumstances. Why should it put the han on its sister city. the capital of Its state, a city to which 1t ought to put any ban on Atlanta. The single case of fever developed In Montgomery from q Louisiana refugee before the sssse ians aaa The sd state He"lth " 6ficer reoOm mended that no quarantine be put on against Montgomery, Did they follow the recommendation? No; they slap rigid against Montgomery than 1t was against New Orleans. But Atlanta comes along with an imported case ought to rise up and tell what the diff ference Is.
 lis 1t possible that Blrmingham looked upon Montgomery's misfortune as her opportunity. With one case of yellow fever in Montgomery if 1t was exploited enough and made sufficiently terrible there would come a fine chance to get some of Montgomery's trade. :.
