detectives are OF the opinion that the
thief was locked up IN tho store. The
bar across the rear door was removed
from the inside. This could not have been
taken down by any one from the out

Unfair OF Mr.. Bryan.

The Presidents message is damned by
Mr.. BRYAN with faint praise. He dis
Germs Democratic doctrine in II and gives
Mr.. ROOSEVELT credit for following the
blazed trail. On the other hand, he
declares a~crimoniously that some pro-
pOsals put forward by the President ARE
40 absurd that they would excite amuse-
ment If the suggestions came from a less
prominent source" This is severe Ian
guage, and Mr.. BRYAN should attempt
to justify II by quoting chapter and
verse If he finds the message so vulner-
able. 1t may not be of even excellence
thrOughout-its volume and the variety
of subjects treated preclude that; but it
is a captious critic who will deny it's
merits, and Mr.. BRYAN in one respect is
more than captious he is unjust. We
refer to what he has TO a about the
Presidents views of the national defence,
as follows:
There will he general DISAPPOINTMENT at the
warlike tone ~ hs message where be discusses the
army and navy. lie speaks OF the navy as the
surest guarantor OF peace which this country pos
Seeses. shame upon tue Chlci ExecuuNc that no
should place an instrument OF brute force above
the nations sense OF justice as a guarantor Of
peace. The best gUarantor Of peace Is our nations
principle to deal justly with other nations"
Shame upon Mr.. BRYAN for placing a
theory Of preventive policy above senti-
ments of peace and good will and observ-
ance Of the Golden Rule! Shame upon
Mr.. BRYAN for passing over in silence
the essays on International Morality"
and Peace and Righteousness" which
ennoble and glorify the message. There
are passages in them which Mr.. BRYAN
a. q friend of mankind and a citizen Of
the world might have written himself.

the services to be performed by the
members OF the Sixty-frst Congress by
$500, making the amount he would have
paid TO them 50 per cent. more than
the present salaries. Mr.. GAINEs's bill
would abolish the present absurd mileage
and allow the payment Of each members
reasonable and proper expenses in
CURED and actually paid In coming TO
and going from each session, whether
regular or extra
Section . Of the bill provides that "all
proper and necessary writing materials
and supplies, including typewriters" TO
he used lin executing their official du-
ties" shall be furnished 10 the members
free of charge. OBJ Iction will be raised
20 this on the ground that it is vague in
it's terms and might cover serious abuses.
The wonderful inclusiveness of a legis-
lator's official duties" is notorious. The
term may be stretched to a degree I'M
dreamed of by the innocent and taxpaying
private citizen.
Whether the members of Congress de-
serve higher salaries is a disputed ques-
ton. Salaries are paid TO them in order
that no mans poverty shall prevent him
from representing his neighbors in the
national legislature. Manifeet!y the sal
ary should not be a mere living wage.
II should be sufficient to enable its re-
cipient TO live decently during his period
Of service. If 5000 a year is too little
to permit this the sum should be in
creased. There are at present numerous
men in each chamber who have found
it possible to live in comfort IN their
wage and to do valuable work for their
country and their constituents, and their
experience is as valuable for guidance as
is that of the members who complain
that their pay is inadequate.

ConEressmen's Salaries.

Several bills providing for higher ssla-
ries for Senator'S and Representatives have
been introduced in the House at the pres
ent session, and the temper Of the mem
bers is described as being in favor Of the
passage Of a measure increasing the com
p~ensation Of their successors. The de-
scription Of these bills as salary grabs"
is Incorrect, if by that term il is intended
TO convey the idea that they resemble
the act of March 3, 1873.
The Salary Grab law was passed by
the Forty-second Congress and its pro-
visions affecting members of Congress
were made retroactive for two years,
thus giving a bonus of S.. 900 to each Rep
resentatiye elected in 1870 and to each
Senator serving in the years II, - and
10. 1t was this that aroused public
indignation, rather than the general
increase of salaries, and that caused the
repeal by the act Of January 20, 1874.
Of the law, excepting the provision rair-
ing the salaries of the President and the
Justices of the Supreme Court.
Mr.. GAINES Of Tennessee il the authOro Of
two of the bills before the House. They
are alike in all details except that the one
introduced on December I would make
the salaries Of Senators, Representatives
and Delegates 5000, while the second,
dated December S, puts the amount at
$500. The session began on Monday.
Apparently Mr.. GAINES studied his col
leagues for twenty-four hours and de-
cided on a 20 per cent. increase in pay
for their SUCCESSORS. Then he devoted
twenty-four hours more to the subject
and raised his estimate Of the value Of

The Law and the soldier.

In the light in which it now stands
Infantry demands the fullest possible
investigation. Their dismissal from the
service rests on an allegation that a pos
sible 10 per cent. of the battalion took
part in an affair which resulted in muir
der and that the remaining 80 per cent
sought to shield the guilty by denying
all knowledge of the crime and the iden-
tity of the criminals.
Senator FORAKER, a lawyer of recog-
nized ability, after a careful review Of
the evidence and the testimony, declares
that the case is so flimsy in its character
that a jury trial would almost certainly
result in an acquittal Of the defendants.
In ordinary legal procedure a conviction
on evidence so questionable that such a
doubt ia raised in the mind of al able
lawyer would certainly be followed by
an appeal of the case on the ground that
the evidence. The fact that these men
were soldiers does not deprive them Of
a right which is theirs rs citizens. The
offences charged against them are felo-
NOUS in their nature, and the men are
entitled 20 a fair hearing Of their case by
some competent tribunal.
Senator FORAKER also raises questions
of law az well as questions of fact, and
at least an important number of his asso-
ciates in the Senate are in agreement
with him. 1t is held that the men have
been deprived OF certain specific rights
without due process Of law; that they
have been charged with. convicted of
and punished for felonies without proper
trial before the proper tribunal, and that
some II not all of the alleged offenders
have been condemned on a mere assump-
ton of their completely in or their guilty
concealment of a crime.
The theory that the dismissal of these
men imposes a hardship but does not
constitute a punishment is not likely TO
find universal acceptance. II requires
an imagination beyond that of the aver
age man to see the matter in such a light.
The general understanding of the situa-
ton runs to the contrary. In the mind
| Of the public, soldiers discharged with
out honor" and for the good Of the
| service" stand AZ men punished for an
| offence committed. With that public the
only question is whether the punishment
was Just and lawful or unjust and I'M
lawful.
A doubt will remain unless the case is
