a formidable sum to be paid 10 a public
servant for one year s strvice. It was
feared by certain timortus economists
that the incentive to en- oloy question
able means to reach the White House
might be greatly stimulated. In those
days there was no president of trust
drawing salary five times that Of the
president of the republic. The govern
ment became the most liberal pay
master in the country. Nowadays the
whole matter has assumed quite diff
ferent phase. Increased prosperity and
the rapid accumulation of wealth have
worked marvels in the economic status
Of the republic. The giant combinations
of commercial interests, unknown to
the past generations, have established
a precedent for salary paying that has
dwarfed the governments most expan-
sive generosity. The time has come
when the salaries of many of the coul.-
try's most capable and most valuable
servants are ridiculously disproportion-
ate to the service rendered and are es-
pecially Inadequate with reference to
the increased cost of living and main
tanning an appearance consistent with
the dignity Of their positions.
This disparity has for long time
been particularly apparent in the gov
ernment's practice in regard to its am :
bassadors and ministers to foreign
countries. At the present time the
United States maintains seven repre-

their pay and with the unequal dis
tribution of prize money and when
ordered to weigh anchor refused fatty
to put to sea. Captain Trowbridge
sent ashore for help, and when it came
five of the ringleaders were hanged
from the ships yardarm. That same
year the crew of the Windsor Castle OF
the Mediterranean feet mutinied. The
cause of complaint was certainly unique.
The vice admiral of the fleet came on
board one day and concluded to make
the vessel his flagship. The crew did
not like the vice admiral and refused
to obey his orders. For some reason
best known to himself the ranking
commander of the fleet respected their
wishes and gave them new set of
officers.
In 1897 a serious mutiny broke out
in the channel fleet. The combined
crews of the entire fleet refused to
weigh anchor when Admiral Bridport
signaled The men were terribly in
earnest. red flag was hoisted on the
Royal George, and the mutineerS held
conference in her cabin. They drew
up and sent to parliament statement
of their grievances. After several days
of wrangling and considerable blood
shed parliament decided to comply
with the demands, which were chiefly
for a change of officers. A few weeks
later an even more serious outbreak

career is SO neglected in the United
States. Only eight secretaries of lega-
ton receive as much as S2,625 per an
mum, and most of the others work for
from $1,000 to $1,000. These men must
possess qualifications which would
command much better pay in almost
any other field. Most Of them are col
lege bred, and many of them are good
linguists. To this must be added the
fact that the opportunity Of lettering
ones condition in the American serv-
ice is MISUNDERSTANDING Of lega-
ton rarely become ambassadors, as
they do in the European diplomatic
services.
Further to illustrate the remarkable
conservatism shown by Uncle Sam In
the matter of official salaries may be
compared the presidents $4,000 with
the 100000 paid the lord lieutenant Of
Ireland, who has much less RESPONSE
bility to meet than the chief executive
of the United States. The vice presi-
dent and the members of the cabinet
are paid salaries of $4,000.
The chief justice Of the United States
is given $4,000, and the lord high cham
cellor receives $4,000. The lord chief
justice draws $4,000. Eight American
associate justices are paid $12,500
apiece, four British lords of appeal and
a master Of the rolls receive $4,000
apiece and twenty-seven justices $4,000
each.

in the field have shown distaste for

quently been suggestive of lack of SYM
pathy with the cause. Nothing of the
kind was expected from the navy. That
important branch of the Public de-
Tense has heretofore mainta ned an ir-
reproachable loyalty to the state.
The American navy. which has been
in existence for $50 years. has been
singularly free from uprisllgs of this
nature. The most serious affair of the
kind was the strange and unsatisfac-
tory career of the thirty-two gun frig-
ate Alliance while she was under the
command of Captain Pierre Landais, a
French officer OF excellent repute in
his own country. The Alliance was one
OF the new ships ordered by the Con-
tinental congress to replace those de-
stroyed by the British at Philadelphia.
About the time she was ready it became
the duty of the infant republic to con-
vey the gallant Lafayette to his own
country. AS compliment 10 the mar
quis, who certainly deserved the best
that could be given to hirn. the new
ship was selected and a Frenchman
was put in command of her.

States ambassador to the court of st.
James, in most respects the most prom
inent foreign agent employed by the
government, must pay his own house
rent out Of his salary Of SIT 500. That
sum, comfortable as it sounds, would
be scarcely sufficient to pay the rent Of
residence in London worthy to house
the representative of such a power as
the United States. Rent, be it remem-
bered, is only an item. To maintain
the dignity and reputation for hospi-
tally demanded of an ambassador re-
quires liberal expenditure, and 1t is
thus that the supply must come from
sources outside the governments eco
nomical appropriation. The British
ambassador at Washington. who is by
no means the best paid of his country's
foreign agents. receives salary of $780,
500 and is provided with free official
residence.
The ENJOYS extraordinary and minis
tiers plenipotentiary are even less to be
envied. There are 'tenty- eight Of them,
and the salaries given them range from
$12, 900 down to $1,000. Only one, how
ever, the minister to Persia, receives
the beggarly minimum. The secretaries

words the reason why the diplomatic

arrival in France the Alliance was or
N1ered to join the squadron commanded
by the redoubtable sea fighter John
Paul Jones, who was about ready to
sail on his invasion of the British
coast From the first there was a dis
pute as to the relative positions of the
two commanders. LandaiS claimed the
superiority and, finding Jones insistent.
withdrew his ship from the fleet and
disappeared from view. Jones pro-
ceeded on the voyage in his 13onhomme
Richard and succeeded in making HIM
self a terror to the British maritime
regions without any assistance from
the Alliance. 1t was at the very close
of the memorable conflict with the
S rapis that one of the strangest and
most uneXplainable events in the en-
tire campaign happened. The Alliance
made her appearance suddenly and be-
gan to fire a series of full broadsides
into the Bonhomme Richard. Landais
and his crew were at once notified of
their supposed mistake. but they did
not desist until several of the crew and
officers of the Bonhofnme Richard had
fallen. Jones never believed in the al
legged mistake" and the American
congress and Benjamin Franklin
agreed with him in his skepticism.

tiny occurred In 1874. The sailors of

sentatives in foreign countries under
the rather awe inspiring title of am
bassadors extraordinary and plenipo-
Tertiary. Five of them-those accredit-
ed to France, Germany, Great Britain.
Mexico and Russia-receive $17.5O0 per
annum. The diplomats of equal rank
who represent the government In Aus
tria and Italy are given only $4,000.
The immediate effect of this parsi-
n1onious adjustment has been to put the
diplomatic service into the hands of
the rich. No statesman Of moderate
fortune can afford to accept one of
these positions, even though his quail
f1cations are beyond question. 1t Is
true that one of these missions is I'M
dertaken occasionally by some notable
man who is not capitalist, but the
secret of his ability to serve may be
found In the fact that he has friends
who are both able and willing.
Unlike most other governments, the
United States does not furnish resi-
dences for its foreign agents. Even
the ministers of third class powers, like
some of the South American republics.
are housed sumptuously at the expense
of their governments at Washington.
The oriental lega lions are all provided
with costly and richly appointed quar-
ters Many of the foreign powers own
their premises and none of them bag
giles over the expense of securing the
best that can be obtained. The United
