Newspaper Page Textw lt gailjj gstortett. ASTORIA, OREGON: SUNDAY MAKCH 28, 185G SOME SALARIES. The best-paid officers of the government are the president of the United States, the ministers to England, France, Germany and Russia, and the clerk of the Unit ed States supreme court. The first receives 50,000, the minis ters 17,500, and the latter any where from 15,000 to 23,0.00 in the shape of fees. The next man on this list is Gen. Sherman, who receives 13,500 as retired pay of the general of the army, and after him comes Admiral Porter, whose salary is 13,000. Next in order are the men who hold the second class missions, Austria, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, China, etc., who get 12,000, and the collector of the poit of New I"oik, whose salary is a similar amount. Gen eial Sheridan receives 11,000, and Chief Justice Waitc, 10,500. The associate justices of the su preme court and third-class foreign ministers are paid 10,000, and vicc-adminls of the navy, when they are at sea, which is seldom, get 9,000. On shore duty they get 8,000, and when on leave or wailing orders 7,000. Rear ad mirals get -SG.OOO, 5,000 and i, 000. Tlieie are quite a. number of public servants who receive sal aries of S,009, including the members of the cabinet, the pres ident of the senate, the speaker of the honse of representatives, the collectors of customs at Phila delphia and Boston, the naval offi cer and assistant treasurer at New York, and the attorney be fore the court of Alabama claims, although the latter is not paid by the government, -but out of the Geneva awaul. The fourth-class foreign ministers receive 7,300, which is the pay of the" major gen erals of the army. The collectors of customs at Baltimore, Chicago, New Orleans and San Francisco are paid 7,000. The circuit judges of the United States, the superintendent of the coast surver, the commissioner of internal reve nue, the treasurer of the United States, the consul generals at Par is, London, Rio de Janeiro, Liver pool, and Havana, and some other consular offices receive G,000, and the comptroller of the currency gets the same amount, 1,000 of which is paid him for looking af ter the affars of the defunct Freed man's Bank. Some of the consu lar officers make from five to eight thousaud dollars fees, but they are very few. The entire number of public servants who are paid more than G,Q00 is less than one hun dred. CbfE of the leading dry goods salesmen of the United States, says that there are now about S0, 000 traveling salesmen on the road in this country, and that their ex pense account alone averages 1, 500 a year each. This for expenses alone means an outlay of $120, 000,000 a year, and if you will count in an average salary of $1, 000 a year each, it will swell the total to $200,000,000. This im mense sum is scattered .ill over the United States. It keeps up the hotels and is one of the most important items of railroad pas senger receipts. The character of the traveling salesman has changed within a decade past. You will find very few boys and fewer drunkards upon the road. The competition is so great and the ex penses so heavy that firms have to send out their best men, and sala ries of $3,000 and 5,000 a year are by no means uncommon. Minneapolis ministers have boycotted the newspapers that ap pear on Sunday. The newspapers so far are good naturod about it, and generously plead for their per secutors, turning the other chee'e, handing over cloaks, etc. But if they ever start in boycotting the ministers it will be hard on the fentlemen who run the Sunday re alarm system. Ix the senate on Friday, the Edmunds resolutions came up. The first resolution adopting the report of the committee on judi ciary was passed by a party vote of 32 to 26; the second, condemn ing the refusal of the attorney general to send copies of papers called for by the senate, was passed by a vote of 32 to 25; the third resolution, declaring it to be the duty of the senate to refuse its ad vice and consent to proposed re movals of officers, documents in reference to the supposed miscon duct bf whom are withheld, was also passed by a vote of 30 to 29. John H. Mitchell was one of the three Republican senators who voted with the Democrats to sus tain the president. T. V. Powderly, grand master of the Knights of Labor, has is sued a circular to that order in which he counsels them to tempo rarily cease the initiation of new members, and warns them against taking in undesirable material. He points out the tendency of the order toj grow unwieldy, and al ludes to the desire of politicians and trimmers to prostitute the or der to personal uses. He talks plainly against boycotts and strikes hastily planned and vin dictively executed, and tells them that on the observance of his ad vice depends success. The Prohibition Star is mak ing a lively political fight. Just how much the Democratic state central committee contributes to the support of the paper has not yet been made manifest. It cost a good deal to get 25,000 prohibit ion votes in the pivotal state of New York for St. John in '84, but 52-i of that 23,000 was all that was needed to beat Blaine. Business is business, whether in New York in November, '84, or in Oregon in June, '80. At Taganrog, a little Russian port, nearly a thousand fishermen, who were busied at their trade on the ice, with their carts and horses, were carried out to sea on a de tached cake of ice in January. Hundreds of them were afterward recovered, but it is feared a largo percentage were drowned or fro zen. Having carefully studied the bearings of a recent election in Rochester, the Post-Express is led to express the opinion that "the pen may be mightier than the sword, but it is of no account be side the beer mujr." For some time past the rinci pal editorials in the Sunday issue of the Boston Globe have been signed with the names of the writers. The Globe intimates that it may ex tend the practice to the other days of the week. According to Gen. Rosecrans Democrats are raising money ev ery day to send "good Democrats home who are in Washington from all parts of the country to get places and have not succeeded." Thousands on thousands of men in London live the year round at the rate of ten or twelve pence a day, equal to twenty or twenty four cents of American money, in clusive of food with shelter. One of the cute things in the wage S3'stem is that when a cor poration cuts down wages 10 per cent., and then raises wages 10 per cent., it has really made a cut ting down of 1 per cent. " - i -i All who desire or intend to vote in this county at the June election should register in their voting precincts on one of these three days, viz.: the 5th, 6th or 7th of April.- Gladstone said in the English parliament last Friday, that April 8th would witness the inception of his bill for the future government of Ireland.
