FEDERAL SALARIES. in most par ticulaw It Is distinctive gain that, ae a people. e Americans are conservative to a degree ana in cur taw-makers In their acts reflect for most Dart our notions of safety and amines. But these facts do not 4.i.ttfv the extension of a system thirty forty or sixty years old into times like the present that have obviously oui rrnwn It. Reference Is had to the sal- f most of our federal officials. We came near to starving or bank noting halt a dozen of our presidents on pay fixed tor the position half a .nturv and more before they were chosen to fill H; and when the salary Was doubled not many years ago n wasn't made large enough to fit the rimes: it ought to be doubled at least before the term beginning on March 4. iHfi. comes along. r.ndent of the New York Press at Bayonne discusses this mat ter both sensibly and forcibly. It Is "disgracefuV he says, for this, the mightiest, the richest nation on earth, to offer Its chief executive "but 50. ooo a year." Our wealth, he shows. Is nearly equal to the combined wealth of England and Russia or of Germany and Russia; and it nearly equals that vf Russia. Austria, Italy and Spain combined. England's indebtedness Is more than double ours, and her popu lation less than half of ours. The na tional debt of Germany is nearly a bil lion dollars more than ours and her population one-third less than double ours. "The national debt of Russia is more than double ours, and her popu latlon about one-half more than ours. Still, with all these facts against their policies as compared with the United States, Great Britain pays King Ed ward nearly $2,000,000 a year, not to mention what goes from the exchequer to other members of the royal family; the president of France receives sal ary of 40.000 a yean the emperor of Germany, nearly $3,000,000; the czar of "Russia. $12,000,000; the king of Greece $200,000; the govern jr-general of 'Can ada, $50,000. Even the' lord chancellor of England receives J50.000 a year. And we pay our president a paltry $o0,000 ' and our cabinet officers a pittance of $8,000 a year-whlch barely pays the . rent of the right sort of a house in Washington and expect them all to a maintain the dignity of the nation on . .such niggardly allowances! ; Many an Insurance company official . gets vastly more than the president of . the United States. Lots of railroad and Viunbinar orcputivea would turn their backs on such pay. In the "persona' coluiim of the Commercial this morning southern business man Is mentioned as getting double that salary. Why, salaries of $50,000 are comparatively common In this country In positions re quiring not, a tlth of the ability, the tact and the chaHctecf a president of the United Sta'es, and involving not a hundredth part of the responsibility! And. If It vere not for the fact that such an enormous amount of honor at taches to the position more, It Is our proud boast, than goes with a crown or a throne anywhere In the world only cheap men could be found to fill the place. . NAVY BUILDING MIST UO O.N. Recent events have justified Secre tary Moody's recommendation, made In his annual report, that two new battle ships be constructed Nand that appro priations for the same be made with out delay. On Wednesday he renewed that recommendation before the house committee on naval affairs. The com mittee had, in their wisdom, concluded that this country was In no hurry for more shir just at present, urged to that decision by some mistaken ideas of economy, just as previous congres sional committees have bn urged, and j had practically decided not to make the desired appropriation this year, at any rate, despite the oft proven wisdom of the old adage, "in time of peace pre pare for war." Perhaps what happen ed In Venezuela was unexpected by these wise heads, but It Is too often the unexpected that happens In this world's affairs. At any rate, they have experienced a change of heart and are now Inclined to grant the navy secre tary's request. In fact, they may grant more than he asked, for indica tions today are that two new armored cruisers and a hospital ship will be added. It took the Spanish, war to stir up congress to our need of an effective navy but we are not yet up to the mark. Battleships are a strong induce ment to the maintenance of peace, when owned by a powerful ana con-j servative nation like ours. But the, battleships of today are not construct ed as rapidly as in the days before ironclads came into vogue. There was a time when an effective navy was built during the winter season In the forests on the shores of one of the lakes on the border net ween me uuhtu States and Canada, and was ready for business in the spring, when it gave a good account If Itself. But It now takes years' where it once took months to complete a 'varship, and delays are dangerous. This country today is one of the recognized great powers of the earth, and to maintain Its position must have an adequate navy, for in these days that Is of more Importance to It than a large army. The United States is naturally designed to be a great naval power, with Its extensive coast line on two great oceans, and with val uable interests In distant parts of the earth. The work of building a navy along modern lines should go on stead ily year by year, until it is equal to our requirements and suited to the dig nitjr of a great nation.

Mich., is anronv inent woman who was greatly benefited by the great woman ' medicine, Wine of Cardui. Mrs. McDonald is the supreme deputy of the' Maccabees of the World, and one of the most widely known women in the United States, thousands of women gather to hear her lecture everywhere she goes. Sie preat work she has dons for the iccabew is appreciated by every member of th order.

But Wine of Cardui cured her the same as it has cured thousands of others and Mrs. McDonald has written this letter in order that other suffering women may secure from Wine of Cardui the same relief the got from it.
