Tllo Republican Senate of the United

lows as a matter of course that all salary grain should have their first orators in the upper chamber. Since tho catastrophe of 1871, when so many

statesmen were retired for their personal mean iieis. the only salary raid on the Treasury has been the hiring of a private clerk for each Senator. This

was accomplished in thu Iir3t session

of the Forty-ninth Congress, it was

abetted by the House because its memW expected to soon share the

plunder.

Now the Senators, in tne person oi

their poorest colleague, a ricn man named Piatt, stand forth and ask for

moro money. They declare that a Congressman can not livo on a salary of about. $.".oW a year, imld for less than six months' labor. There are a
