approximating 100000 a year.
The doing away with the extra
months pay is especially commend
able. This perquisite was the in
genious invention of an Imaginative

lieu of mileage, although why en-
ployes of the congress should have
mileage any more than any other
government employe has never been
explained. This action on the part
of the House probably will result in
a like action on the part of the

way.

SENATOR O'GORMAN.g

The New York legislature. has
broken its long senatorial deadlock
and has named Judge O'Gorman to
succeed Chauncey NJ. Depew as a
member of the United States senate
from the Empire state.
The great trusts and combines
and corporate interests will be sad
to see the passing of Chauncey but
aside from that few tears will. be
shed over Mr.. Depew's retirement
to private life.
His successor is a Tammany
product and he owes his election to
that corrupt organization. But while
he comes from evil origin he shows
up as about the best, most able and
cleanest man that could we'll be ex-
pected to be honored with a toea
by the present New York legislature.
Senator O'Gorman has declared
that he is in favor of the direct
election of the United States sena-
tors; that he is for a downward re.
vision of the tariff; Canadian reel.
procity; parcels post; a federal
income tax and rigid economy, in
the handling of the governments
money. He also favors fortifca-
ton of the Panama canal.
Not all of these things may be for
the best good of the republic but as
practically all of them are at direct
variance with the things for which |
Tamany stands, the O'Gorman plat.
form furnishes interesting material
for speculation as to whether tn
new senator really means what he
says. If he does he will come nearer
representing the people of New York
than any Democrat from that state
has for good many years.
Judge O'Gorman's past life has
been such as to entitle him to, con
fidence on the part of the public and
it has reason to believe that he will |
try to live up to his platform and
work in behalf of the interests of the
people.
