In the Way of Patronage
in the House.
PLUM CROP IS APPORTIONED
Each Member of Next House
Must Be Content With
Small Sack.
sCHARF WON'T SUE JOHNSON

Washington, April Those Ken
lucky members of the Democratic
majority in the House who are not
the chairmen of committees will
each have the distribution of not
more than $4,000 a year in patron
age after April 4. Members of a
Patronage Committee, which is ex-
pected to be selected by the caucus
meeting to-day, have reduced the
annual salary list of the House to
units, and have arrived at the con-
clusion that individual Democratic
Representatives will have $4,000 a
year or little less.
1t is the plan of the Patronage
Committee to permit chairmen of
committees to name their own clerks
and session employees. If, as is al
most undoubted, Representative
Ben Johnson is named chairman of
the District of Columbia Committee,
he will have three places to give
away, and If Representative Harvey
Helm secures first place on the Com
mittee of Expenditures in the War
Department, he will have more than
one Office to fill.
But the others, Ollie NJ. James, A.
o. Stanley, r. Y. Thomas. Jr., Swa-
gar Sherley, A. B. Rouse, ]. c. Can
trill and w. ]. Fields, unless one OF
them should be made chairman,
will each be able to offer but one
place totalling $4,000 year or two
places at $1,000 a year, or they may
divide the $4,000 into smaller parts.
Each Representative will have his
$4,000 a year unless the caucus de-
cides to abolish a number of House
places. If these are to be done
away with however, there is a dis
position on the part of the Patron
age Committee not to eliminate them
until the forthcoming December
session, as any economy practiced
by the current session will be placed
to the credit of the Republicans, the
fiscal year ending July l..
The general average of the pat
ronage of the Kentucky members
will be slightly increased if Repre-
sentatives Rouse and Fields, the
baby members, ask less than a 49,
900 place. In addition to the $4,000
each Congressman has the appoint
ment of a secretary at $500.
The total annual salary list of the
House is s744.35O. OF this, the
Speaker, committee chairmen, the
Capitol superintendent and the fixed
list consume s39O.255. This leaves
$354,O95 for distribution among the
1876 Democrats.
Although only a week or two ago
