During the debate in the United States
onato on Senator Hour's bill to rniso the
xlarica of U. S. district judges from
; ) ,500 to § 5,000 per annum , the follow
ig interesting "passage at arms" oc
urrod :
Mr. Van \Vyctf I desire to ollor nn
mondmont , to substitute the word
four" foi "tivo ; " ao as to read "four
nousand" instead of "tivo thousand"
ollars.
The Presiding Ollicor The question Is
n the amendment of the senator from
Nebraska [ Mr. Van Wyck ] .
Mr. Van Wyck In the somewhat
ongthy discussion upon this bill I have
oen listening to hoar something of a
ublic reason why the senate should stop
t this time to pass a bill of this nature ,
have not discovered that there is any
anger of the bench being deprived if
lie judges who nro presiding over it.
? rno the sowilor from Massachusetts
Mr. Hoar ] mentioned the great qunli.
ications wliich ave needed in every per-
on occupying a position upon the bench ,
ml I failed to hoer him follow it up with
ho statement that these upon the bench
low did not possess these qualifications.
L take it for granted that tiioy do , and
hat all that is sought for by the senator
rom Massachusetts wo already have in
, ho judges who arc presiding. So there
-MI bo no reason on that ground at this
.iuie.
then the senator from Delaware [ Mr.
Bayard ] in 1m lengthy statement urged
a reason purely of sympathy. One thing
'a noticeable , Mr. President , that there
s one class of American aitizons who
always find n vast deal of sympathy on
( his floor and in the American congress ,
and that is thosi\who hold official ] ) osi-
Horn. So it. was with my friend from
Delaware. Ills sympathy ovorllowod.
tie could aoo much of hardship
.n the family of Judge Tanoy , who
! io said were poor ; but does
my friend from Delaware call up to his
recollection other distinguished lawyers ,
who are not upon the bench whoso fam
ilies also are poor and destitute ? Is
there any reason why there should bo
any more particular consideration for a
distinguished lawyer who goes upon the
bench and unfortunately may bo poor
than for a distinguished lawyer who does
not go upon the bench and whoso family
also may bo poor and necessitous ?
There is another feature which appears
in discussions of this kind. First , 1 nay
wo always find sympathy for the ollico-
lioldor. Then some gentlemen believe
that the highest privilege of the Ameri
can citizen and his greatest cn'oymcnt
As to pay ( axes. Gentlemen point to
our over/lowing / treasury as an evidence
of the great enjoyment it furnished the
American people to fill it.
My friend from Delaware probably
does'not go down to the thousandsof fami
lies who are poor , who do not only die
poor but live poor , thousands of families
from whoso pockets are extracted the
dollars that go into an overflowing treas
ury. That / another proposition which
always appears in those liberal discussions
and liberal appropriations the pleasure
it is to the American people lopay tares.
And then , of course , the necessary corol
lary is the necessity of the American con
gress being liberal in paying out the
money. The proportion is fir.stto fill up ,
and then deplete. There arc various
wayx of doing this. Ono is the ease with
which public offices are tilled , and the
next apparent ease with which salaries
are made and increased.
The senator from Arkansas [ Mr Gar
Jand ] speaks of the necessity of the sala
ries of the judges being equal. Will my
friend from Arkansas reflect on the congress
gross which passed the present law ? I
was supposed in 1807 when this law was
passed that the salaries should bo grad
uated , and they wore graduated from
§ 3,500 to § 3,000. Was that law just
then ? Has it been just from 180" to this
day ? Gentlemen say no ; many judges dn
more labor than others ; it would bo liberal
oral and generous to put them all on the
sanio basis. From 1807 to now there has
been this discrimination , twelve judges
receiving from § 1,000 to § 5,000 ; the re
mainder receiving § 11,500. That propoai
tion was just , was equitable. Ithairo
mained upon our statute-books from 1807
to now , and there has been no murmur
of complaint. Now it is proposed to
equalize them. I would ask our gener
ous brethren hero , after you have equal
izcd the salaries and placed them .til upoi
the basis of § 5,000 a year , how long wil
it ba before judges in districts requiring
all of their time will como and find senators
tors who will ask that that injustice shal
bo righted ? Then wo shall hear piteou
appeals for them. la it right that the
overtaxed and overworked judges in Now
York and in Alassachusotts mid in Penn
sylvania should receive no more salar ;
than the judges in the rural districts
where such intricate and difficult qucs
do not como up for consideration ?
Mr Hoar. The senator propounds , a
I understand , a question to me , and if h
would like to have the answer now I wil
toll him what is my answer to that difli
culty. I think the luw which has bcoi
recently passed would bo made practica
still moro than it is now , requiring th
judges to go out of Ihcir districts who
directed by the circuit judge. So I lee !
forward , I will toll the senator vorj
frankly to n period soon to como whor
every district judge of the United State
will bo employed all his time , and will b
obliged to go about to other districts besides
sides his own. In Massachusetts th
district jtn'go in my own district is em
ployed the whole year , and it is'a vprj
hard and laborious yoar's work for him
and for one or two years ho has acarcol
had a vacation of moro than two days ,
suppose there are nearly two men's _ wor
in that court now , but whim a judg
comes occassionally from Maine , from
Now Hampshire , from Rhoclp Island , th
labor will bo still moro equalized.
Mr. Van Wyck. The senator concede
the fact , I suppose , that tlmro are vnrj
many diatricta where the judges ore m.
overworked , and where probably not ha ]
their time ia required in discharging tliui
ollicial dut'ns. '
Mr. Hoar. There are twelve or thir
teen districts out of the fifty , as near w
can make out , in which the judges nov
are not worked a hard ycar'n work ,
expect that within a very few years ever
judge within these thirteen districts wi
bo obliged to bo constantly employed i
doing the work which the others can no
perform.
Mr. Van Wyck. Then would it not b
) cst for congress to wait until that time
oes arrive' '
Mr. Hoar. It has como near enough
now.
now.Mr. . Van Wyck. The senator thinks it
las como near enough now. Possibly
mt may bo in his idea of excessive
! oncrosity and libernlity ; but vrould it
not bo well to wait until that time does
inio if it is to bo used as an argument
hy the salaries are to bo increased ) The
cuator's hope is that in the future it will
> o so arranged that the district judge
[ Iowa may bo ordered into the district
f Nebraska or the judge of the district of
Colorado
Mr. Hoar. The district judges do note
o out of the circuit in which their district
Mr. Van Wyck. Then that will not
loot the difficulty. I take it in the Now
'ork and Pennsylvania circuits every
istrict in these circuits is now probably
orkcd up to the maximum of wh.it the
enator considers to bo a hard year's
ibor. Maritime questions , great com-
lorcial questions , where largo amounts
f property are involved , are seldom
card in the interior districts. Therefore
, is that in the far distant districts , in
10 rural districts , where the position ia
comparatively easy one , the injustice
ould still continue , and there is not in
lioao district * for half the year the labor
liat there is in a hard-worked district
lie whole year. Thorforo , the objection
s not removed , and the conndition of
liings that my friend suggests can not
ossibly exist where the _ increase will
pply most actively. 1 think that just
t this juncture there is no necessity for
lie proposed increase of tlioso salaries.
It would seem from all the hardships
Imt are mentioned aa if there
voro some sort of draft or conscription
nto the civil service of this country.
Vhen a gentleman oveillows with sympa-
hy for tiw hard-worked office holder , you
vould naturally suppose that there was a
.raft or a conscription which forced the
> rivato citizen into a jwsilion of trust.
5ut ono thing is very remarkable in his
uggestion in regard to the profession to
vm'ch my friend belongs and that of the
onator from Arkansas. It is very re-
narkablo when any position is suggested
vhich that profession can fill that wo
icar so much of the great sacrifices which
; ontloraon who come from the bar and
ho profession of the law give up to servo
, heir country.Vo Jiml that from con
siderations of patriotism the most distin
guished Iswyors in this country arc wili
ng to surrender their chances of fortune
0 take a position upon the lunch ; and
hey are willing from their great degree
of jiatriotism to surrender positions of
irolit even to take seats in the American
Congress , where as senators claim they
ire so hard worked that it is ncocsvtrif
, o furnish a clerk to each of thorn 'o ' aid
.hem in the discharge of their duties.
As 1 said there is no conscriptionthero
s no draft that will take n man out of the
ogal profession and put him on the dis-
, riot bench , or the circuit bench , or the
supreme court. There is no power on
> arth that can take a distinguished
awyor from his remunerative practice
and place him in a scat in this chamboi
or in the other house. And yet it is inv
possible , so these gentlemen say , to gel
1 lawyer of distinguished ability to Jill
iheso positions at the salary now paid.
When there is a district judgorhip va
ant the whole state is torn up , and overj
.awyor of prominent position is anxious ,
, f possible , to fill that chair. If there ie
i vacancy In a judgeship , half iv dozer
states are torn up , as my friend from
Kansas knows Minnesota , Wisconsin ,
Lowa , Kansas , Nebraska , and Colorado ,
Mr. Cameron , of Wisconsin. Nol
Wisconsin.
Mr. Van Wyck. Fortunately for Wis >
cousin that state is not in the circuit tc
which I allude where a vacancy now ox-
sis. The other states I named are in
hat circuit and they tire all torn up.
Bach has distinguished lawyers , the
ablest lawyers , and not too much can be
said in thor favor , to fill the circuit
udgcship. To-day a struggle is going
m in that circuit in which my friend
Tom Wisconsin does not reside and
n which my friend from Kan
sas docs , and the president it
jcsieged l > y delegation after delegation
from each branch of congress , and citizens
from the stolen 2 'obably como in rogl
monts to bog the president to recognize
'JIG ' great merit of a distinguished lawyoi
! n their state. Kansas presents her best
nan ; Minnesota hers , Colorado hers , ant
Iowa hers , and ( hey come here strug' '
; ling for this judicial position. Yet w (
ire told of the hardship they have under
taken , and that this great considoratior
must bo extended to them. Certain ) ;
when gentlemen accepted the oflico o
district judges at § 3,500 it was rather it
the nature of a contract : and why shoult
wo increase their compensation while tlici
liold their oflicn ?
The senator from Dolowaro is anxinu
that the judges shall bo well paid. Hi
agrees , ho says , with the senator fron
Alabama that great outrages have booi
perpetrated through the judiciary. Die
L understand the sonitor from Dolowari
to agrco with the senator from ALib.uim
The senator from Alabama was stating hi
grievances , and I understood the senate
from Delaware to assent to thorn anil ti
say that there wore grievances.
Mr. Uayard. I was accepting the statement
mont of the senator from Alabama a
true ; and if the facts ho stated won
true , they were gross outrages upoi
the rights of American citizens whicl
ought to nubjcct their perpetrators ti
punishment.
Mr. Van Wyck. Then I understoot
either that senator or the senator frou
Alabama , I think it was the senate
from Dolowaro , to elate that il was tin
circuit judge who made the appoint
inputs from which the people Hull'orod ii
Alabama ,
Mr. Morgan. The circuit judges madi
thu appointment of commissioner * , not o
marshals , of course , The marshalls ur
confirmed hero.
Mr. Van Wyck. Precisely ; but
wanted in that connection tosuggcsl tha
11 was the high-priced judges that aruth <
cause of the most outrage upon Iho stat
of Alabama. The district judges to-da ;
receive § 3,500 , the circuit judges recoil
§ 0,000 , and it was the higli.pricot
judges who produced Iho trouble ] undu
which you labor in Alabama , as 1 under
stand.
Mr. Morgan. I wonl entirely on th
report made to the department of justic
by UH chief agent , which I have liufor
mo , and from wliich I road. I made n
slaicmont of my own in rogurd to tha
point.
Mr. Van Wyck. Then I was corrcc
about that ,
I have made all the suggestions I dcsir
to make upon this matter. I was anxiou
principally to sou what reason was to b
given for this proposed increase , and
with all deference to the distinguiihv
suiiutor from Massachusetts , I fail to EC
any force in his reasoning. An my fripn
from Dolewaro was anxious to havohigl
priced judges , and aa I thought the sent
lor from Alabama had read thai tli
high-priced judges produced the greatei
iniquity in his state , if not in olhor stall
i of the south , I wished merely lo draw 11
arallol , and also to * " that > my
ulgmonl for this propt. cd legislation to-
ay it niitjht be well to level the salary
p to § 1,000
Mr. Hoar. I hope wo "my have a

" 'Pears ' like they didn't tumble to in-
nercent jokes , " he said to himself. Then
ho looked across the street and saw the
signs of the Chicago museum , "A iliow ,
hey ? NVell , I'll ' take that in sure. " Ilo
bought n ticket and passed in , and was
soon contemplating the pretty girls in
the costumes of all nations. Round and
round ho walked , and all the time his
wonder grow. He glanced furtively nnd
bashfully nt Iho beauties in their gorge
ous and becoming costumes. "Wonder
if they can talk United States ? " ho
thought. Finally ho found n post against
which ho could stand , and , thus braced ,
he pushed his hat-brim up out of the way
and stared long and earnestly nt one of
the young ladies , who seemed to take his
eye. The girl was fully conscious of this
admiring look , but : i well-behaved girl ,
took no notice of it until nftor the space
of aniuo minutes , when the steady gaze
brought the color to her cheek and n half
Hinile to her face , which she attempted to
hide by quickly turning about. This was
not lout to tlio keen eye of the western
man , and several times ho moved forward
as if to speak to the girl , but each time
hu shrank back bashfully and resumed his
first position. Tlio girl became somewhat
neiTous. Slio attempted to dual oil' the
front of her booth with n feather brush ,
but it llovr from her lingers upon the
floor. The \Yostorn man sprang quickly
forward , nnd handed it to her with un
taught graco.
"Thnnk you , air , ' she enid , with n
Biuile nnd n blush.
"Oh , can you talk American ! " ho
asked.
"Yos , air , " she replied. "Why not ? "
"Oh , 1 duniio ; you wearing ft furrin

"Yes ; its loncHomo for mo out there ,
Bomotimes. "
"Why don't you live in n city ? "
" "Causo 1'vo got a ranch nnd n lot of

Slio looked nt him with sudden respuot ,
'or ho had heard of the weitern cattle
kings.
" 1 WHH going east lo HOO n gal , " ho said
iftor n pause. "Itul J don't think I'll go

Why not ? "
" 'Causo ' I've ' found ono that anils mo
