Congress and Salaries.

From the New York Evening Post.
Senator Spooner offers as his chief reason
for resigning that he is neither willing mol
financially able" to abandon permanently
the practice of his profession. HIS salary
does not give him enough to live on-at
least in such fashion his official position
demands; and he cannot make further In
roads upon his earnings as lawyer. His
case recalls that of the late Senator Hoar
whose scale of living was exceedingly mod
est; but who was probably poorer at the
time Of his death than when he entered the
Senate. Senator Spooner has not initiated
Senator Hoar's New England simplicity.
yet he has never been lavish in expendi-
ture. The incident points afresh the argu-
ment for giving our representatives al
Washington larger salaries Since We
have 10 leisure class an unpaid Congress
Is not practicabie; and if We are to pay
We should pay suitably. For senator
$4,000 year; in addition to an allowance
for clerical assistance, would not be toe
much.

Government by Committee.
From the Providence Journal

An interesting Illustration of the familiar
fact that the American system of govern
ment is a system of government by commit
tee is found in the simple statement that
during the two sessions of the FfftyNinth
Congress, which adjourned sine die last
Monday, 34.565 bills were introduced into
either the Senate or the House, while only
40 public laws were passed together with
1863 invalid and private pension acts. With
out the Intervention of the committees OF
the two branches Congress would be In a
continual parliamentary turmoil; and the
end of the session would find much less &C
complished than is ordinarily achieved.
while some bills grossly defective and even
dangerous might pass inspection in the heat
and confusion of debate.

New York, March 25.-In anticipa-
ton of some action on the part of Jus
tice Fitzgerald regarding the appoint
ment of a lunacy commission for
Harry X. Thaw, District Attorney Jer-
ONE and all of the counsel for the de-
fense were present I'm court this morn
ing at II o'clock. at which hour Judge
Fitzgerald had fixed for notifying the
lawyers in case he should desire fur
ther evidence or argument. Mrs Ev-
elyn Nesbltt Thaw came down town
alone and entered the criminal court
building unaccompanied. Mrs. VIII
liam Thaw and her two daughters ar
rived together, and Edward Thaw APP
peared soon after.
There was a long wait for Justice
Fitzgerald who did not arrive until
after o'clock in the afternoon. BY
this time the women members of the
Thaw family had returned to their
hotels. When the Judge finally took
his place on the bench he merely went
through the formality of having the
court session adjourned until Wednes-
day morning, the time set last FrldaO
for the jury to make It's reappearance
i'm the case. Justice Fitzgerald made
no announcement whatever To the at
torneys. the ceremonies in court oc-
cupying less than two minutes.
If Justice Fitzgerald decides to ap-
point a commission he will probably
first excuse the jurors indefinitely In
forming them that they viii be duly
notified when their presence Is again
desired Then after the jury rctires he
will formally announce the apponint-
ment Of commission. If the judge
decides not to appoint q commission,
he may make no other announcement
than to direct the trial to proceed.

is evident from communication

from any anti-Scmitic feeling. They
are of a well defined agrarian Charac-
ter The peasants are devastating not
only the houses and farms of Jewish
farmers, but also those of Roumanan
landed proprietors. 1t is undeniable
that these sad occurrences are in part
result of the agitation now preva-
lent in Russia, especially I'm Bessarabia
which borders on Roumania.
"The Russian government Is taking
energetic measures to restore order
and it hopes that by active military
Intervention the rioting quickly viii be

Denver, Cob, March 25.-Owing to
the increasing Importance and volume
of business of the west, it has been
ascertained that the department Of
justice has practically organized a
corps of special assistant attorneys
general for the work in connection
with coal, timber and other land
frauds and offenses west of the Mis-
souri, river, placing Special Assistant
Attorney General NJ. c. Burch in su-
pervisory charge Of them. That Judge
Burch has been in Denver for some
time past quietly organizing for the
present and future operations. was
learned today. Under his supervision
strong force of'specia assistant at
torneys has been employed. Among
those are S. r. Rush. of Omaha; Ern-
est Knaebel. of Denver: f. A. May
nard, of Salt Lake; f.. III. Long, of
Durango. and II. II. Schwartz. of Hell
ena, Mont
While none Of these men are spec
tally located at the points named, and
where they are at present, matters are
so arranged that any of them may
be called to any point needing their
attention.
Although Judge Burch has not set
tied upon any location. it is probable
that the major part of his time, for
the immediate future, will be spent in
Denver and that this place will be in
effect the headquarters for the west
