What It Casts to Suport the Em- | ployes of the Nation at Home and Abroad, The Salaries of Officers of To- Day Compared With the Olden Time, Horace Greeley's Expose of Mileage Fees—~Ohoice Extracts From the Blue Book. Washington Correspondence Cloveland Minister Hunt's death at 8t. Petersburg leaves ono ot the best official places in Europe vacant. The salary of the Amer- ican embassador to the court of all the Russias is $17,600 a yoar, and the posi- tion at one of the most polite courts of Europe is one greatly courted by public men. The work is not hard, and in times past some of our most noted statesmen ave taken n vacation by getting this appointment, When John Quincy Adams was fifteen years old he was made private secretary of our legation in Russia, and there commenced receiving the salary from the government which at tho close of his official career, when he died here as a momber of congress, amounted to over a half million of dollars. In 1809 Mr. Adams became minister, and served five yoars, At about the close of his term Albert Gallatin and James A. Bayard, Senator Tom Bayard's grand. father, were sent to assist him in making a commorcial treaty, but when they had gotten to St. Petersburg. Gallatin re- ceived a post dispatch that the senate had refused to confirm his nomination and the embassy was broken, William Pinkney, of Maryland, was the next United States Minister to Russia, and following him in Monroe's day came William R. l’iin’z. of Alabama, who was afterwards elected vice-president with Franklin Pierce as president, but died before taking the oath of office. John Randolph, of Virginia, acted as our Rus- sian miister in 1830, and James Buch- anan in 1832, At this time the salary was somewhat less than it is now, and m | Mr. Buchanan wrote home that it ought to be increased to $16,000 a year at least. The secretary of legation, who now gets over $2,600 a year, then received only about $1,800, and I suppose the min- ister's salary was proportionately less. Bayard Taylor representad the United States at St. Petersburg in 1863, senator OCameron in 1862, and Cassius M. Clay, of Kentucky, followed for the six years botween 1863 and 1869). Ex-Governor Curtin, of Pensylvania, Eugene Schuyler, arshall Jewell, of Con- necticut, and John W. Foster who now ots 812,000 as minister to Spain, have en employed there at difforent periods during the past fifteen years as United States ministers, DIPLOMATIC SALARIES, The only other American ministers who ot < $17,600 a year are those at Paris, ondon and Berlin, Our embassadors to Spain, Austria, Mexico, Italy, Brazil,and Japan get $12,000 a year. Those to Chili, Peru, Uraguay, Gautemala. Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Salvador, get $10,000, and those to Portugal, Belgium, Sweeden and Norway, Denmark, Turkey, Hayti (John ;M. Langsten), Greece, and soveral South American countries, get 87,600, Iho consuls general to London, Paris, Havana, and Rio Janeiro, get $0,- 000 a year, and there areone hundred and seventy-five consuls who receive from $1,000 to $5,000 a year. SALARIES OF CONGKESSMEN AND THE MILE- AGE EXPOSE, This question of salaries is interesting and the Blue Book, which is only issued for private use, gives some interesting facts. The president, as everyone knows, gets $56,000 now, together with a large amount of household expenses. In Jack- son’s day the $25,000 then paid was not enough to run the White House, and it is #aid that he had to depend upon his cotton crop to keep up his establishment. Cabinet ministers get $8,000 a year, as do also the president of tho senate and speaker of the house. Representatives and senators gets §5,000 a year and $126 for pens and paper and tooth picks, to- ether with mileage at 20 cents a mile rom their homes to Washington and back again, This matter of mileage used to bo a great job, and members from Ore- gon and California would charge the gov- erament by way of Cape Horn, or by the Isthmus of Panama. In some cases mile- ago 80 charged amountud to several times their present salary, but when Horace Greeley came to congress, along late in the forties, ho got a clerk to take down for him the exact distance by nearest 0st route from each member's home to ‘ashington, and Jalso the route charged in his account to congress. Ho then es- timated the amount of mileage each con- gressman should have received and put this down with that he actually did re- ceive, and also the excess of the one over the other, The whole was published in tabular form in The New York Tribune, giving each congressman’s name, and showing that over 108,000 unnecessary miles were charged, which, at tbe then rates of 40 centsa mile, amounted to $78,492.60, The ex oreated conster- nation here at ashington, Nearly every man in both senste and house was implicated, and the article was reprinted broadcast over the country. There was at this time no more unpopular man in the house than Horace Greeley, but the publication helped The Tribune, and it started the work which eventually reme- died the evil. At this time senators and representa- tives got §8 a day, and the speaker of the house and president pro tem, of the sen- senato $16 per day, In the first congress the pay was $0 a day for members of both houses, and in two years of John Adams’ term as president, senators roceived $7 and representatives $0 por diem. In 181D it was changed to §1,600 per aunum for members of both houses, and in 1817 to §8 per day, SALARIES AFTER THE REVOLUTION, In these early dng congressmen were often hard up, and Elbridge Gerry in one of his letters wrote that he could not leave Washington he was back $157 on his board bill, and that he had already borrowed too much money from his hndlnfl. l‘l:.uelunln spent all of his salary du presi it is 10ld of Jefferson that ing his time a8 colonial governor ginia was not sufficient to keep him in clothes, 4 They had an uncomfortable way during these early years of deducting from con- Kressmen's which if now pursued would materially reduce the expenses of congress.

GUDERNATORIAL SALARTES, In 1844 the salary of the governor of Ohio was $100 a month; now it is 84,000 a yoar, and there is talk of building an executive mansion at Coiumbus, Five other states pay their governors 4,000, Theso are Louisiana, Massachu- netts, Mississippi, Tennessoo and Texas. Now York and Pennsylvania pay the highest gubernatorial salaries, $10,000 onch; Hlinois and California pay £6,000; Colorado, Kentucky, Missouri, Nevada and New Jersey pay $5,000; North Car- olina, Kansas, lowa, Georgia and Ar- kansas pay $3,000; Connocticut, Dela- waro and Maine $2,000; New Hampshire, Michigan and Vermont $1.000 each. Oregon’s govenor gets $1,600, West Vir- ginia's $2,700, Minnesota's $3,800, Mary- land’s $4,500 and Flovida $3,600. FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR MEN, There are a number of 5,000 men in Washington offices outside of the con- gressmen, The clerk of the house and tho secretary of tho senato each got $5,000 a year, as do the stenographers in congress, the two comptrollers of the treasury, a number of surveyors of cus- toms, and the commanders of the navy. Pension agents get $4,000 a year, the civil service commissioners $3,500, the two assistant attorneye general $5,000, eight justices of the supreme court $10,000, nine judges of the circuit courts 86,000, and fifty-three judges of United States district courts from $3,600 to $4,600. ARMY AND NAVY, The pay of officers in the army in- creases in proportion to the time they have been in the service. Goneral Sheri- dan for the first five years of service will get 813,600 a year; a lieuetnant general gets $11,00 a year, a major general §7,- 500, a brigadier general 85,600, a colonel $3,600, a major $2,5600, a mounted cap- tain $2,000, and a second lieutenant $1,- 500. The Admiral of the Navy bas a salary of 813,000 a year, whether at sea or on shore. Other officers have less when on shore. Vice admirals at sea get $9,000 a year, rear admirals $6,000, commodores $5,000, commanders $3,600, lieutenants, senior grade, $2,600, onsigns $1,200 to $1,400, and cadets §950. 110W ENGLAND PAYS, On the whole, however, our public offi- cors are poorly paid, and it is safe to say that no man relying upon a government salary will ever become rich. Our presi- dent gets a small salary in comparison with the rulers of other counties, and the fiovernor genernl of Canada gets as much. The president of the French republic has $120,000 a year, and he is allowed $32,- 000 for household expenses, while Queen Victoria has 81,818,800 a year, not count- ing the revenue of the Duchy of Lancas- ter, which amounts to a cool $185,000 every year. And still the Queen is try- ing to make a little by her pen and poor Brown's legs. But this is not all. The Prince of Wales goets $175,000 a year, and the royal family has other annuities amounting to $660,000. Only a little more than $2,800,000a year is what Eng: land pays for the privilege of having a roy:‘} family, A big price for men of wood! ———— A Goodluvestment. One of our prominent business men said to us the other day: *‘In the spring my wifo got all run down and could not et anything; passing your store I saw a pile of Hood's Sarsaparilla in the window, and I got a bottle. ho had taken it & week she had a rousing lEpMite, and did her everything. She took three bot- tles, and it was the best three dollars 1 ever invested.” C. I. Hoop & Co., Low- ell, Mass, e e L Fast Mailsand Western Mails, Chicago [nter Ocean. Postmaster General Gresham is not cortain by any means that the fast mail train between New York and Chicago is o fixed fact, but he intends to make it auchif possible. A few years ago a line was started by the late George S. Bangs with high hopes of permanency. But this much is true, the syatem ought to be mamtained, and what is more, reforms wimilar in spirit are required in the mail service from and to Chicaro westward. In nothing is the inability of the east to appreciate the west more plainlyshown than in this matter of postal facilities has never been possible to get the faci tios necessary to put the west upon a pro- per postal footing, as compared with the states on the Atlantic coast. 1f this city had the carriers to which it is entitled, the net revenue from this branch of the local service would be largely increased, and if the mail trains out of Chicago weotward started at better hours and ran faster, immense advantages would result to the public and to the department. This is not a local interest. Chicago is not the chiet suffvrer by the unfair treat- ment in questio 1t is the people of the weat. Great cities can take care of the) selves. The inadequacy of the oarri system has developed the district tele- graph system, but in the rural districts there is no substitute to be had, The people are dependent practically upon the postoflice system for inter-communication at long rang Postmaster JGeneral Gresham in his annual report gives a table showing the amount of postal revenue collected b, each state and territory for the year end. ing June 30, 1883. Tho aggregate is 3 leads all the rest, 18.12 per cent of the total amount coming from that sl Pennsylvania is next, 9.03; but Illinois is third, 8.5 bw its quota, Even the territory of ota is ahead of several states, It outranks Deloware, West Virginia, Arkansas, Mississippi, South Oarolina, Oregon, and Florida, and near); equ Vermont, Rhede I8 Now Hampshire, Louisiana, North Carolins, and even Alabama. E: Georgia, the empire state of the south, is less than twice the size of Dakota from a postal point of view, and Dakota is not yet a state. It is not too much to that from 10 to 16 per cent of the entire of the country starts from or passes through this office, by any means, but it goes to its destination via this city. The entire northwest is interested in quickened railway facilitios for mail mat- $44,817,473 89. Of course, New York |i ven | th B et <RI RS I M VD s A ter weat from Chicago, and the membora of congress should pool their issues and demand it, The present postmastor gon- oral will back their efforts, as he knows well the needs of the rapidly developing country. The railroad companies would | shorten the time on the road and provide carlior mail trains, if the proper pressure wore brought to bear upon them, and the place to begin is in congress. Hven thoso prolific sources of corrup- - | tion, star routes, are, taking them all in all, among the great agencies of progress and development in the far west. The evil to which they givo rise is trivial as compared with the benefits which they confer. There is danger that the ill re- pute into which they have fallen will fur- nish eastern prejudice an excuse for cut- ting down the appropriation, The post- master general pared everything down pretty closely,but the appropriaiton com- mittee seems disposed to prune very much more. The service is threatened with erippling retrenchment for the demagog- ical use that could be made of the claim of economy. Western men.bors, without regard to party, should stand up for the postal rights of their constituents, Every Person to be a Real Success In this life must have a specialty; that is,must concentrate the abilities of body and mind on some one pursuit.

Says The Chicago Time: *‘rhe plants are hardy and pro- ductive in every state and_territory in the country. In fact, it is extremely difficult to decide which one offers the most advantages for producing this most delicious fruit. The strawberry does ex- ceeding well in those parts of the country where oranges, lemons, figs, bananas, and pineapples abound, and does equally well in regions so far north that the most hardy apples will not mature, But a very small amount of land is required to raise enough stawberries to supply an ordinary family. A square rod, if treated roperly, will produce as many straw- gerrieu as a common tamily will require during their season. The plants multi- ply very fast. Every plant set out in the spring may be made to produce from ten to twenty plants during the season. By maauring the parent slnuu the young one will be strong and stocky. Straw- berry plants come into bearing quickly. If they are rooted in pots in tho summer and set out early in the fall, they will produce a fine crop the following year. No other fruits except melons and toma- toes, which are generally ranked with vegetables, can be produced so quickly. A person who does not wish to lay out much money in commencing with straw- barries can procure early in the spring a dozen strong plants of some good variety and raise from them plants enough to set a square rod of land. By rooting the young plants in small pots like those used by florists they will be in a condi- tiontoset out in September,and by mulch- ing they will Lroduce a good crop next eason. The plants set out for propogat- ing purposes should be planted in very rich soil, and considerable distance apart, and well cultivated. Runners will ap- ear about the last of June. They should Ee allowed to spread in all directions. At the points where rudimentary plants ap- ear on the runners the little pots should ge sunk into the ground and the mall stone, held in place by a a forked k, or a piece of wire bent like a hair: The pots must be filled with rich earth in which the roots will spread. Several good plants may often be obtained from tho same runner. After they have all become established in the pots, the run- ner may be cut and the original plant left to grow by itself. The plants rooted in this way may be put into permanent rows without interfering with their growth. A hole being made with a trowel, the pot is inverted and thumped on the bottom, the plant being caught in one hand. ~ When firmly around the roots. The same pots may be used for rooting plantsfor several years, Good, strong plants may be raised by setting the propagating plants as directed above and allowing the young plants to take root in the ground. It carefully taken up when the soil is damp, as after o rain, they may bo removed some distance without injury. Plants raised near where they are wanted for eotting do much better than those ob- tained from a distance For garden culture the soil for straw- berry plants should be well prepared. The spade is preferable to the plow for pulverizing it. Unless it is naturally very rich considerable well-rooted stable manure should be applied and incorpor- d with the soil by spading. Mostof itshould be buried quite deeply. e roots should be ipduced to penetrate the soil as far as possible. The plants will suffer less from drought if the soil is spaded deeply If ground is. scarce the rows may be sixteen iuches apart, and the plants stand at the same distance the rows. Next every fousth vow a space two feet wide should be left for a path for convenience in cultivating the plants ano picking the berries. 1 the plants are set out in the spring they shoula not be permitted to produce frut that season. The flower stalks showld be cut off as soon as they appear so as to throw all the sap into the plant. For the same reason the runmers should be cut off. The stalks and runners may be easily pinched off when they are young and tender. If they are allowed to become tough it will be necessary to cut them. A sharp spade may be employed to cut runners. Little other attension will be required except to keep the %raund free from weeds. With a favorable season the plants will cover about half the ground by fall, On the approach of winter the plants should be covered to the depth of three or four ith hay or straw. It can be held in position o it will not be blown away by the wind b{ laying rails aloug the paths. As the frosi leaves the ground in the spring the covering should be remov- ed. Plants treated in this way will pro- duce a large crop of very tine berries the oar after they are planted out. By orking up the soil between the Ihn}l and adding some more manure and soil, they will continue to produce well two oF ree years, Persons having time and land to devote to strawberry culture can scarcely do bet- ter than to set one or two hundrod plants say | each year and treat them as above direot- ed for the sake of the crop they will have the year r:ldm they are set out. The rries uced on yous much hrp or and finer '.Lnum on old Obes. hen each plant stands by itself the berrigs ripen much barter than when the plants are crowded, With ten plants placed in the ground it should be pressed. plants are | cont kept in rich ground for propagating pur- poses the requite number of young and strong plants can be raised. Strawberries of smaller aize and poorer quality can he raised in a much easier way. The soil can bo prepared with the plow and har- row, the plants set in rows from two and a half to three feeb apart and the ground tetweon them worked with a eultivator, If the rows aro quite straight the cultiva- tor may be run close to the plants without injuring them. OF course it will be nee- essary to use the hand hoe between plants in the rows. Two or three good crops can be obtained from plants set out and tended in this way. Unless pains be taken to keep most of the runners cut off the plants become too thick to be strong, and the berries will be smail. The soil becomes hard and looses its fertility, as tho strawbeiry ..t isa gross feeder, Aw strawberry plants become old new roots appear near the surface of the ground and the plants appear to rise. They may be kept in fair conditien by placing a coating of well-rotted manure on the ground between them and lossen- ing the soil with a fork. Transplanting can bo dono best with a garden trowel while the soil is quite damp. It is always best to cut off the dead and lower leaves before setting out the plents. If the roots are very long they should be shortened by the use of shears. It is much better to shorten roots than to double them up in planting. e What we Want, Give Homeopath his pellets, Allopath his pills;but for rhmmnlsm,lur aches, for pains and sprains, Z%wmas’ Flectric Oil is_ineffably su- perior to either, 1t has berefitted as many peoplo as it has purchasers.

Know. ing Tue BEE to be interested and in the habit of encouraging every landable enterprise throughout the state, it is but fair that your devote a small space in your columns to notice their efforts and make known a few of their wants, for they are all your friends and patrons. The first we noticed was that they had a place to accommodato visitors. a pleas- antly located new hotel, built lately, and managed in such a nice, hospitable man- ner by Mr. Alex McDougal and wife,that one is tempted to prolong his stay. Our old friends Bruner & Reber have increased their capacity by the erection of a new addition to their former room and now carry one of the largest rotail stocks in the county. They are earning their own reward, being kept busy all the time. H, Kramburg has also put up a new building and brought in a general mer- chandise stock, He is doing well. The irrepressible Gus Noltie is every- where at once—that is, wherever there is a marketablo hog, and it is worthy of no- tice that whenever he goes for a hog he generally gets him, no matter what the price. Tho elovator men, Messrs. Swarzy & Sailing, have been a sort of “bonanza” to the farmers this winter by buying their 80ft corn and paying good round figures forit. Don't know how they make any money, but they are gotting rich. H. J. Rolf, another giain man, has been pre- paring for the coming season, by enlarg- ing his elevator and building extensive eribs. He has flourished in the past and expands more and more as time goes on, and is nearly ready to get married. Doc Canon has quit trying to preserve the health of the community by hydro- gagues and tonics alone, 80 has added a choice stock of groceries to his stock of drugs, He says people need good nowrishment as well as medicines, and though it detracts somewhat from Lis personal beauty to handlo groceries, yet he is a very willing martyr. Alex. McKenzie, watchmaker and jeweler, is erecting a new store building on High street. H. Goodheart is also putting up a busi- ness room where he expects to keep a stock of *‘wet groceries.” There is a splendid opening here for a lasge general merchandize store, and the citizens will offer flattering inducements toany active firm whe will engage in such an enterprise, There is also & gen- eral demand for miles around here fora hardware and tin store, such a businoss would be a success from the beginning. All the people here are greatly en- ccuraged at the promised completion. this summer of the cut-offifrom Omaha. It is well understood that the Union Pacific propose making this place tho junction, and bringing Elkhorn ten miles closer to Omaha, and the first station west; in fact everbody here is happy in the anticipa- tion of a prosperous season and splendid arops V. o ——— The Lavgest Stock in Omaha, and Makes the Lowest Pries. urn it re’ ) ure: DRAPERYES ANC MIRRORS, CEANBER_ __SETS Just received an assortnrent far suypassing anything in this market, comprising the latest and mest tasty designs mannfacyured h:r this spring’s trade and covering a range of prices fzom the Cheapest to the nttst Expensive.
