The salaries of congressmen can never be
fairly and equitably arranged. Some mem
bers are well worth 13,000 a year and others
are not worth 5 cents. Some look upon a
seat In the houfe of representatives and the
salary as means of getting and saving
more money than they can mako In their
business at home, while others are willing
to pay more for a nomination and election
than their salary for two years amounts
to. No means can be devised of paying
statesmen "by the piece." So It must rest
with tho voters In each district to get the
best they can for their money.

Taxpayers trooped to the cashier's wicket
last week, taking advantage of a deduction
offered as a premium for prompt payment.
Tho huge sum of I10.228.P00 was paid In the
first day. All this money was bundled In a
rickety one-horse csb and taken to a Wall
street bank. The money was wrapped In
brown paper parcels and distributed over
the bottom of the cab. Guarding the for

up on top of the vehicle with the driver,
while the other two wero Inside, using

for political purposes only. And this only
in the minds of bis political advocates.
Judge Sullivan Is the same partisan he ever
