Disgraceful Economy. So far a? tho Stewart bill under takes to increase, tho salary of the Prosident of tho United .States from $50,000 to $100,000 a year it is an oxoollont mensuro. So far as it undertakes to iuoroase tho salary of tho Speaker of the llouso of Representatives from $8,000 to $20,000 it is St?)l good. So far ns it undertakes to increase tho salaries of Senators, Representa Uves and 'rerritori.il Delegates from $5,000 to $10,000 it is had. So far as it fail? to pr?vido for an IlioreaS? of salaries for Cabinet oftl cors and for Ambassadors to tho most important European capitals it re quirer amondment. A salary of $100,000 a year is nono too much to pay tho President. He must support the dignity of his office, lie must entertain generously. Ile ought to ho able to save Homo money without hoing niggardly in his ex penditures. Sonntors and Representatives are sufficiently well paid. Their social duties aro not compulsory. They aro not obliged to surrondor their private business or professions. The salaries paid to Cahinot oflicors ure less than miserly. Tho Govern ment has no right to expect tho ser vices of a great lawyer and nd minia trator like Mr. Hoot for $8,000 a year. This is not ostial to the fee theso men can command in a single subordinate case. Moreover, potty salaries for Cabinet members make it almost im possible for poor men to accept such offices. These places aro becoming tho monopoly of wealth rather than talent. When poor men do accept Cahinot portfolios it is in tho cortainty that they will retire from office in debt. Tho temptation to cultivate corpora tion alliances is very groat. Four Secretaries of thc Trensary have in recent times gone from tho Cabinet to tho servico of corporations-Win don!, Foster, Carlisle and Gage Col. Daniel S. Lamont loft tho Cabinet and entered the servico of a great railway company. In thooaso of the Secretary of tho Treasury the coun try riot only pays him a miserably inad?quate salary i hut he is forbidden to 1)0 connected with any other busi ness during his official service Ho must literally surrender tho means whereby ho lives. As for Ambassadors to the princi pal European capitals, their emolu ments have long been a monument to national penuriousness. Their ex penditures arc regulated hy tho social requirements of tho capital to which they aro accredited. They cannot economizo, In some oases tho Am bassador's salary does not pay his house rout. It would bo impossible now for a Lowell to think of serving as Ambassador to St. James's. An Andrew D'. White at Berlin must draw upon his limited private for tune. Mr. Choato and Gon. Porter could not remain abroad if they wero not men of independent wealth. Tho abuses of extravagance aro flagrant enough in Washington, hut somo of tho abuses of economy aro a disgrace to tho American Govern ment.-Now York World. Honored at Homo. Hov.
