SALARY GRAB IN CANADA.
Peoples Money cheerfuIIy Divided by
Politicians.

The Canadian parliament has just
finished a session of more than six
months. The last days were devoted
in part TO a general increase in sal
aries, which was at first characterized
by the opposition as highly creditable,
but later, Oh more mature considera-
ton, was stigmatized as a salary
grab" Heretofore the prime minister
of Canada has received $4,000 per an
mum in addition to his compensation
as a member of parliament. The other
ministers received $1,000 each. The
members of the senate and house Of
commons received no salary, but got
a seasonal indemnity" of $500, and
20 cents a mile for travelling expenses.
A few days before the close of the ses-
sion bills were introduced and passed
to give greater compensation. The
prime minister is to receive $4,000
year, besides his pay as a member.
The other ministers are left at the
present compensation, except that
they get $1,000 more indemnity" The
retroactive feature of the seasonal in
demnity is liable to adverse comment.
1t was this which created the greatest
uproar over the famous salary grab"
of 1873 in the United States senate.
The dominant party in Canada does
not appear likely to suffer from these
measures, as they were cheerfully sup
ported by the leader of the opposition,
and seem to have gone through prac-
tica1ly without any dissent II Ouis-
vile Courier Journal.

What can | tell him." asked Jes-
sic in amazement. 81 can't make him

sorry, so awfully sorry!"
When Jessie could command herself
she asked if Edith really loved Jim.

truth. Make him stop, Jessie; you

love them to death?"
Jessie could not answer that world

soothe her. In anger and mortifica-
ton Edith rushed from the room, and
when Jessie knocked at her door
few minutes later there was no re-
Spouse but the muffled sound of sobs.
