s27e A DAY SALARY.

That lie what Unole Sam will
now pay Mr. William Fl Taft for
his services as chief executive, the
senate committee on finance hav,
ing made a favorable report on the
bill to make the salary of the Pres
ident of the United States 500, 600
a year, and those of the Woe. Pres
ident aud Speaker of the House,
$4,000, a year.
100000 a year, or
1888 38 a month, or
$1.923 10 a week, or
$276 10 a day.
This is what Theodore Roosevelt
has been getting for his seryices;
$4,000 a year, or
$4,166 66 a month, or
1851 SO a week, or
$138,85 a day.
From this it appears that Mr.
Taft is likely to have twice az
much money in his jeans with
which to keep the wolf from the
White House door as his prede-
oessor has had. The time lie not
far past when our Presidents were
getting $25, 600 year.

The inaugural address of Gov.
ernor Harmon, of Ohio, bristled
with genuine democracy, the kind
that fires up the patriotipm of The
people and gives them abundant
food for thought, His suggestion
of the negligence of states in re.
gard to exercise of their oonstitu.
tional authority, and his resent.
ment of the interference of the
interference of the general gov.
eminent in domestic affairs, was a
keynote that has met with hearty
approval wherever democrats abide,
There is too much of the United
States and not enough ofthe states,
especially as to those matters ex-
olusively of local and domestic
concern. Gov. Harmon proves the
genuineness of his democracy with
out having to assertit. He is pres

SUNDAY laws.

Wheeling Telegraph.
a bill has been introduced In
the Legislature making the play

This is only the beginning of the

DEMocRAcY's NEW YEAR.

One of the greatest triumphs for
peoples rights and democratic
principles has come to pass in the
hour of apparent defeat.
The Republican President.elect
has taken his stand in favor of an
honest revision of the tariff. This
is all that the Democratic party
would have tried to do in thai di.
reotion if it had succeeded. II
probably could not have secured
from Congress any kind of a re-
vision.
The cause of special privilee Q
seems likely to receive severe
blow. and Democracy seems likely
to triumph even in defeat.
Even if we cannot have the off.
cers let us rejoice in the success of
our principles.
