«his Congress 1s the most com=
pletely in the possession of a few bosses
of any that has ever met.�
_ These are the words and this is the
opinion of Mr. J. E. Spence, the pri-
vate secretary of Congressman Btroud,
as published over his ewn signature.
If a Democrat had uttered such words
or expressed such an. opinion about
this Congress, it would have been de-
nounced as a oDemocratic lie.� oBut
coming from the private'secretary of a
Congressman who was elected by Re-
publicans and Populists, it can hardly
~be so denoanced, though possibly Mr.
Spence may be denounced as a traitor
for turning oState's. witness.� But,
whether denounced or not, the above
~words are certainly true, and prove the
pertion. often. made -by the. Record,
~that, when the, people of the. Unites
States sought relief from their troubles
by turning out the Democrats and
placing the Republicans in power, they
simply ojumped trom the frying pan
into the fire.� ,
geAnd there are still some Populists"
pen who were once. ~etrong Democrats
"willing to further fuse and co-operate
with the Republicans, and elect _ just
such another incompetent Congress and
Legislature as they elected in 1894 ?"

: demonstrations of delight by the silyer
Senators. On the contrary, one of
their numbershaving found that some:
of the servants of the republic are un"

think commendable effort toT secure. an
~inerease of their compensation,
neither house of Congress, nor. yet, in
the press, do we observe anything in
_ the nature of a movement to put the
Wheeler proposition into a statute. .
_ The free coinage advocates in all
the parties represented in Congress
held that othe crime of 1878� reduced,
by at. least 25 per cent., the earning
- @apacity of all persons engaged in the
- producing industries of the country. Of
- course that ocrime did not affect the
salaries of the peopleTs servants. From
his point of view Mr. Wheeler's prop-
- Osition is entirely conystent. Granting
his premise, his conclusion is inevitable.
But his brethren do not rally to his
T apport. Neither Senators nor Rep-
entatives show any particular press- | +},

| their own hands and
which our government rests is that, in
~elective offices, the people will make|
| wise selections, aud that, in appointive
offices, the President and the Senate
will not be less careful to.choose wisely.
The salaries are ot arranged for cheap
men, but ae supposed to be a fair
compensation for the best service.
~The highest salariesT paid in the
United States are not drawn by ser"
vants of the people, but by officers of
corporations. And the government
pays no salary that is high enough to
retain its servants when a corporation
wants them. Men of capacity are con-
tinually leaving the public service to
accept more lucrative ~employment.
They go from the Cabinet, the Senate,
the House, the sdientifie bureaus, and
the army and navy to better their con-
| dition financially.
The great increase in the cost of
government is not in salaries or public
improvements, but in pensions. This
item was $30,000,000 in 1873, and is
now $141,000,000. But we do not
understand that either of the parties 1s
making war on the pension rolls.
Neither the politicians nor the~ people
propose any reduction of this burden by
repealing or amending the pension laws.

TAKING THEIR OWN MEDICINE,
The ~Landmark ~has heretofore ex-
plained the changes made in the
county government law by the last
Legislature. Under the old law. the
county commissioners could ~not ap-
propriate a sum exceeding $500 with-
out the consent. of a majority of the
magistrates of the county,Under the
new law given us by.the oreformers�

That. county needed a new court
house and Lad long needed: one, but
wader the old Jaw the magistrates,
who had often been called together to
take action in the matter, had re-
t6 authorize the
building of one.
After the law was changed the
eommmissioners took, the. matter into
decided: to issue
{bonds to buildT a new, court house.
Their right to do this was ~testedT in
~the courts and the Supreme Court de-
cided in their. favor. They had the
old court house torn down and then
some difficulty arose about disposing of
the bonds. This matter has now
been adjusted, we believe, . and, the
contract has been let for the building
of the new court house.
Considering that. the action of. the
Forsyth commissioners was authorized
by the ~tusion ~Tegislaturé, it is quite

House of Lords.
Probably the house of lords is. the
least sentimental assembly in the
world, yet it is peculiarly susceptible
to the authority and magic of a strong
personality. On a celebrated occasion
Lord Lyndhurst recited at enormous
length all the black-letter authorities
on a subject. Lord Lyndhurst got his
way, not by the weight of his black-let-
ter citations, which the pastoral peers
who swell our full-dress debates could
hardly be expected to appreciate, but
by the accustomed, yet ever vivid, im-
pression of Lord Lyndhurst on his legs.
Thus when Lord Salisbury rises to rec-
ommend a perilous success to the co-
korts he controls, when the house
ovives audience and attention still as
night� to the sequence of a clear-cut ar-
gument and illustration, every phrase
poised to a hair, every point piercing to
the quick, the whole speech acting like

of lords, it is easy to realize the burden
of responsibility which personal .as-
cendency lays upon the leader of the
conservative party in the house of
lords."Nineteenth Centurv.

Metropolis of the Mohammedans"Th
Population and Principal Baild-
ings of the City.
Now that public attention is so keen-
ly drawn to the almost anarchic state
of Turkey, the following particulars
of the capital of the Ottoman empire
will be of interest: Byzantium, Islam-
boul, or Constantinople as the place
has been variously called, is situated
at the junction of the Bosphorus and
the Sea of Marmora, and mcy be said
to be composed of three distinct towns,
viz., Stamboul, Pera-Galata and Seutari.
The two first named are on the Eu-
ropean shore, and are divided by the
ereek called the Golden Horn, while
Scutari lies on the Asiatic side, and is
separated from them by the Bospho-
Stamboul, or Constantinople
proper, occupies the site of ancient By-
yantium, and, like ancient Rome, is
auilt on seven, hills. On the frst of
Wiese are the Old Seraglio and the fa-
nous mosque of Santa Sophia, Stam-
boul lies on a triangular promontory
washed by the waters of the Golden
Tiorn on the north, and by the limpid
Sea of Murmora on the south, while the
swift current ofthe Bosphorus flows
nast its eastern front.
Scutari, although a@ suburb of Con-
siantinople, is. practically a separate
town, the distance across the water
heing about two miles. It largely re-
ecmbles Stamboul, both externally and
internally, with its numerous mosques,
its bazaars, public baths and manufac-
tories. 1t will be remembered chiefly
by English readers on account of
its hospital. having been used by the
- Anglo-French army in the winter of
1854-5-and by reason of its beautiful
English cemetery with its monument
to the heroes of the Crimean campaign.
lis population is now about 69,000, that
of the whole capital being about 1,500,-
000.
Stamboul is the'native cily,and con-
tains most of the government and pub-
lie buildings. Here are situated for in-
stance, the sublime porte (a gateway
of justice, from which the government
of Turkey takes its name), the war] ,,_
office, the seraglio. the law courts, the
railway station, the custom house, the
mosquesT of Santa Sophia and count-
less others; the mint and museums, the
Han Yeni, and the Egyptian bazaars.

dgsius, rebuilt in 447.A, D., ql new in

Perp-Galata i is the Buropean of Chiis-
tian town, ahd the center .of business,
the Imperial, Ottoman atid other banks,
the exchange, and steamship and mer-
chantsT offices being in Galata. Most of
the embassies are situated on the hill
of Pera, The principal a the ar of, int
the i
shops are, is the ~Grande R 2 a
cand the next ini mphdialee | is the Roe
Tepe Bachi, along which the Pera-
Galata trams run, and where the best
hotels, the British embassy and the
Petits Champs Municipality gardens | .
are situated. The Yildiz Kiosk, where
at present the sultan resides, is practi-
cally in the country, about four miles
from the sublime porte. The palace
is surrounded by barracks, where a
large force of the Imperial Guards is
quartered; and no strangers are al-
lowed ~to enter the gates.
The Golden Horn"La Corne dTOr,
Chryse Keras"call it what you will,
the name-of the classic waterway is one
with which toconjure. That its greater
glory is now gone is not to be disputed;
that # still remains the most interest-
ing strip of water in the world is as lit-
tle to be denied, On one side of it rises
a lordly line of mosques, those of Santa
Sophia, Sultan Mahmoud, ~Sultan
