Senatorial Salaries.
(From the News and Courier.

Vt IOH Ine NEWS anO COur19f.)
If the abolition of the office of
State Commissioner of Immigration
is to be discussed in the campaign
for Senator next year, 1t will be we'll
to include the abolition Of the office
of State Bank Examiner, Railroad
Commissioner, State Chemist, State
Auditor Of Dispensaries and other
offices with which Senator in Con-
gress has equally as much to do.
After all, substantial, visible evil
dences are sometimes abundant that
Senator'S do not give too great part
of their time and energy to Senate
rial duties, and the. people, In their
own interest, should endeavor to pre-
vent the Senatorial mind from being
diverted too much in the direction of
State affairs of secondary moment.
Senatorial salaries have been rails
ed recently to 1880 a year, but
there are many indications in numer-
GUS States that the time of man to
represent the people excluslv ly and
continuously while in Office cannot be
obtained for a sum less than four or
five or ten times that amount.

When Chandler's successor moved
Into the building the crowds hoped

THE PROMISED REST.
Memorial Thoughts on the, Death OF
a5 s. 8. McJunkin.

There remaineth, therefore, a
rest" At rest! How precious is
the thought hlll
That he has entered into rest!
In the bright mansions of the blest.
Where sorrow, sin and pain are not
Where he has gained the promised
rest.
At rest! How peaceful and how
calm
His life is in that blessed rest
The very thought, to us, Is bless'd,
Like the sweet soothing of Psalm.
That he has gained that promised
rest. l
For he earth's trials had while here.
But now in that sweet place of rest,
Where he has gone, he knows tits
BEST
That here the sigh, and here the
tear,
While there the peace and there the
rest.
For us the tear, for us the sigh,
While this side of our heavenly rest
But leaning on our Saviour's breast.
Like he just gone, we'll glandly die,
And find our rest, our promised rest.
But we must be as true and good
AS he who has gained his rest.
Be of like precious faith possessed
Help us, then, Lord, for oh! we
would,
Like him, too, gain the promised
rest.
Through Christ he bore with mar
tyr's faith
Long years Of suffering, but at rest
He's won forevermore, and blest!
Through Christ he triumphed over
death,
Then went into his promised rest.
We'd follow in his heavenward wake,
Like him just entered into rest;
We'd ask Of God that we be blest
With that same faith and love that
make
Sure entrance to the promised rest.

swered the Scotchman.
"And what would you be. If you

81 suppose I'd be a Scotchman," po-
lltely replied the Englishman.
what would you be if you weren't
o Spaniard," demanded the Italian.
"Oh, | guess I'd be an Italian" an
swered the Spaniard
And SO they went on making each
other the same complimentary answer.
At last came the Irishmans turn.
"What would you be, if you weren't
an Irishman?" he was asked
"Oh, I'd be ashamed of myself" he
quickly answered
Shortly after hearing this anecdOte
visited an old man named John Ora
ham. Curious to know what answer
he would make to the question, re-
lated the anecd0te. "And now, Mr..
Graham" | asked the venerable Irish
man, what would you be, If you
weren't an Irishman?" His answer
was made in a jiffy, without thought

XENIA'S LOSS $4,000.
Depressing Experience of an Ohio City
With Municipal Lighting.

In response TO an inquiry ia regard
TO the municipal electric light plant
Mayor Brennan of Xenla, o., writes as
follows:
The city paid upward of $1,000
for light plant, and the cost of run
ming the same was ut the rate of SOB
per lamp. The plant was badly run,
tue operating Of the same being in the
hands of committee of cOuncilmcn
who were inexperienced and, of course,
drawing no salaries, did not give IL the
proper attention. All they got out of
the sale of the works was $500, The
city aftcrward entered into contract
with private corporation, and the
price now paid per lamp IS S63."
Another authority states that the
amount ultimately invested in the
plant was $4,000 and that the loss
when il was sold, together with the cX-
cess cost Of operation over what the
lighting would have cost by contract,
amounted to more than $4,000; III
other words, that that sum represents
the cost of the experiment.

Canary Wrote an Editorial.

A story is told that there was in the
Office of the old New York Tribune
only one composition who could read
Horace Greeley's writing Mr.. Gree
ley, the ablest of editors was likewise
the poorest penman of them all. One
day some of the other men in the of
flee, in order to get a joke on the old
compositor. took canary bird and,
dipping its feet and tail in writing ink,
allowed it to hop around on piece
of paper which was later hung where
Mr.. Greeley was in the habit of leav-
ing the copy he wished the Old com
positor to set up. The compoStor
looked at it, put it up on his case
and went to work as if there was
nothing unusual about it, Finally,
about halfway down the page. he
appeared to be stuck. He readjustcd
his glasses and looked and looked at
the copy and finally went with it to
the desk of Mr.. Greeley. Here's Il

Mr.. Greeley looked sharply at the
copy moment. so the story goes.
and then said, THAT word is con
