A CONGRESSMAN'S PAY AND
DUTIES.
The absence of members of
either house of Congress from
their seats is too often spoken of
as if all absentees were en-
gaged on business of their own,
neglecting that of their con-
; and we constantly read
what are intended to be sharp
reproofs of our representatives
based upon the assumption that
when they are not in their seats
they are neglecting their public
duties. The usual remedy pro-
posed is a deduction from every
congressman's pay for all the
that be neglects to to
his country's service.
We have not been remiss in
urging upon Congress to hurry-
up tariff legislation. Indeed, we
believe that the Dispatch was one
of the first papers in the laud to
dwell upon the importance of an
early settlement of that question.
But it must not be forgotten that
our representatives
spend a great deal of time in
waiting personally upon their
constituents who visit Washing-
ton city for one purpose and an-
other- Indeed, suspect that
they firmly hold to the opinion
that they would earn all the pay
get if they did nothing but
second the efforts of people from
districts to secure employ-
in the government service.
Day after day our telegraphic
columns testify that Mr. Jones,
of the First District, or Mr. Tyler,
of the Second, or Mr. Wise, of
the Third, or some other Virginia
congressman, has been pressing
upon the head of some depart-
the claims certain of his
constituents to places under the
National Government. In like
manner, these same congressmen
have to attend to the requests of
delegations of their constituents
sent to Washington to see that
peanuts, Irish sumac,
tobacco, iron-ore, coal, and what
not put upon the free list.
Again, a congressman's duties
are not confined to the work of
legislation, or to that of seeing
his constituents when these hap-
pen to visit Washington. It is
just as important a part of his
duties to bad legislation
as it is to promote good
Much of the time which a
congressman spends out of bis
seat is devoted to committee
ties, if ho happens to be on a
committee empowered to sit
the sitting of Congress.
Much more of his time is in
before committees of
which he is not a member to
vent legislation which would be
injurious to business interests in
his own district.
In a word, a congressman's
place is not a sinecure. He has

significance in Louisiana,
as there are so many people there
who can only read and speak in
French. However, this provision
would likewise make voters of
Italians, Germans, and others of
foreign birth who can read their
language but not ours.
We do not quite understand
tho proposed poll-tax prerequisite.
If it leaves any opening for the
voter to pay in 1894 a tax which
was due in 1893 it may not work
well otherwise the provision is a
good one. Virginia tried the
poll-tax prerequisite, but our con-
proviso on the subject
was not as rigorous as it should
have been, and soon became
popular, and was repealed several
years ago.
It will be observed that the
committee propose to give suffrage
to any man who can read
who is otherwise and
to any man who cannot read, pro-
that he is the owner of
worth of real or
property.
If these provisions become a

Why Because the Treasury
which had been left full by Cleve-
land when he went out of the
presidency in 1889, was nearly
empty by tho close of Harrison's
term and the gold reserve was
declining so rapidly that Mr.
Foster and everybody else saw
that unless some means were

My Paper
After you get stop
your paper, just poke your finger
into water, pull it out, and look
for the hole. Then you will know
how sadly you are missed. A man
who thinks a paper cannot thrive
without his support ought to go
stay awhile. When ho
comes back half his friends will
not know he has gone, and the
other half will not care a cent,
while tho world at large kept no
account of his movement. You
will find things that you cannot
in every paper. the
Bible is rather plain, and hits
some hard raps. If you were to
get mad and burn your Bible,
the hundreds of presses would
still go on printing it, and when
you stop your paper and call the
editor names, the paper will still
be published, and, what is more,
you will read it on the sly
