ONI.Y RICH MEN WANTED.
jh Waehtngrton Officials Who Live
Beyond their Incomes.
shington Letter to the New York Hail and
Express.
jc-Recretary Manning’s friends here have
rived the most encouraging reports from
t since he took up the duties of the Wes
ti National bank in New York. He has
gied in strength every day, and instead of
arehension, his family and his intimates
fi themselves very greatly cheered by the
parent good that his work does him. He
liinid congenial scenes. For it Is one of
t most curious of results of political office-
Iding that it not infrequently depresses
ei vexes and annoys such men as Manning,
vile it elevates and makes consequential
pompously dignified some little fellows
no possess not a little of the political talent
• Manning. The ex-Secretary made very
any men officeholders. Some "of those have
•en admirable officers, who were able to
air tho burdens anil annoyances without
thing one wink of sleep. But to Mr. Mail
ing nimself it was always a great burden,
great and sleep-destroying responsibility,
rnd in man}' aspects a great bore. But there
s another feature of his escape from public
ifflee that especially pleases him. Mr. Man
ing had been paying some $8,01)0 or SIO,OOO
a year out of his own pocket for the honor
arid responsibility there were in the office of
the Secretary of the Treasury.
How do you make that out? will bo asked.
His salary was SB,OOO a year, and he ought
to have tieen able to live on that. But he
wasn’t, nor has any Secretary of the Treas
ury, who met tho social requirements that
that office entails, been able to live on the
salary if he had a family. Mr. Manning
gave up a place as president of an Albany
bank and a salary of $5,000 to accept the
Treasury. He also was obliged to resign his
ctive duties as president of the Albany Argus
ompany, and it is understood, gave up the
slary, too, whieli was $5,000 more. He was
ten receiving SIO,OOO in yearly salaries
Wen he reluctantly accepted t lie treasury
pottolio. The net cost then to him was
i'ilOO. But he maintained an establishment
in Vnshington that cost not far from a clean
thcisand a month, and his other expenses,
pe ronal, political —he was always
a lieral giver for political purposes—were
not ar from $2,000 a year more. It cost
him therefore, not far from $15,000 a year
whil he was in Washington. That meant
foinj to his private income for $7,000 or
8,00 a year. Though Mr. Manning is
eomfrtably olf in fortune, his income from
his pnperty is not believed to be as much
as tin. sum. Now' see the difference. He
is Prudent of a great banking corporation.
He wc'ks four or five hours a day, and
works without worry. He receives $15,000
a year,and it doesn’t cost him more than
half of that to live. He saves his income
from invest limit; he puts by half his salary;
he is making itoney instead of losing it, ami
he will be somes3o,ooo better off at the end
of Cleveland's I?rm than he would have
been had he staid in the Treasury.
OFFICES Em THE RICH ONLY.
Mr. Manning's experience suggests that
of many others, some of which nave been
described to me hr the men who had them.
Only a few days a;o a newly elected mem
ber of Congress sad to me:
“I have given iq a permanent place, with
a salary slmewhit larger than that of a
member of Congrs. I presume if I don't
tread on too manyof my constituents’ toes
I can be renominatd. and my district is sure
to be carried by myparty. That, will give
ine at least four yea's in Congress and $20,-
000. Canlsavehal' of that?”
1 told him he couH, but that it would re
quire self-denial, aluost entire abstention
from social enjoynent, and satisfaction
with humble quarter; and plain food. As
a rule none but tho rich or very poor ought
to accept office of aiy kind in Washington.
The rich can spend money: the very poor
are not expected to do so, but the men of
moderate means, snail incomes, who have
been accustomed t> some of tho luxuries of
life, are very fortuiate if they make their
salaries and their rapenses meet.
Senator MeCreery, who some years ago
represented Kentucky in Congress, was re
futed to have saved some st'o,ooo out of
75,000 that he received in salaries; but ho
lived in the utmost frugality. There was a
cheap hotel in Georgetown, whose rates
were $7 a week for board and lodging, and
here MeCreery lived. He would walk from
this place to the eapitol and back every day,
thus’saving $1 or so a week in ear fare, and
his personal expenses were insignificant,
None of his salary went to hackmen, to
florists, to Wormley or Chamberlain; he
never played poker and never went to the
theatre, and when lie quit, Congress he hod
enough to live on for the rest of his days.
A Representative from one of the New
England States has served twelve years, and
is belived to have saved $40,01X1 of the SOO,-
000 salary- lie has received. But his haunts
were simple; he boarded at a second-rate
hotel; his family remained at home and lie
spent his evenings playing whist when at
leisure, and had no more expensive habit
than the taking of a single toddy just at
bedtime.
A Missouri member was obliged to decline a
renomination some four years ago because
he found that in spite of all he could do he
was running behind $3,000 or $4,000 each
year, thougli lie practised law in his vaca
tions.
Said ho to me when I asked him why he
had declined to come back, especially when
he seined just about to wip high esteem iu
Congress:
“J can’t stand it to see my wife walking
the sidewalks and B —’s wife riding in a car
riage, and she can’t either. I can’t stand it
to go with her on foot to a reception and see
Blank and his wife step out of a carriage,
and it costs me more than my salary every
year because I can't. I am going home to
niake my fortune. When I get rich enough
to own my own carriage, perhaps I may
come back.”
WHAT IIE COULDN’T STAND.
Gen. Collins, the brilliant Irish-American
member from Boston, told me that ho trem
bled to think what it was costing him to
serve in Congress. He did not dare face the
figure. His actual expenses exceeded his
income, and his splendid law practice in
Boston was threatened. lie determined not
to run again, and it went abroad tliut lie hud
quarreled with President Cleveland because
of some question of putronago. This was
not the reason. Ho declined because he
Could not afford to go to Congress.
It cost William H. Chandler some $90,000
tnoro t han lie got back in salary to bo Hec-
Ji tiiry of the Navy, though he probably
looked upon the expenditure as a good ui
'•‘stmeiit, ns the office gave him a prestige
without which he could not, have tieen
elected Senator. But he once said he would
liavu lieeu many dollars better off had he
been confirmed for the office of Solicitor
General by the Senate in 1881. That office
paid nearly as much as a Cabinet place
docs, and the social requirement* aro very
slight,
It is impossible to hold a Cabinet office
ud lire at all in social life without going
outside the salary. There has been some
deposition to smile at Attorney General
Garland’s manner of life, but it is tho only
one feasible to a Cabinet officer who wishes
to live within his salary. Mr. Bayard is not
u rich man, thougli lie has property invest
niciits that bring him an income of some
f'I.OOO a year. But it must take every cent
of tliis, added to his salary, to support, him.
None but a rich man can afford to take the
office of Secretary of State. Senator Wil
l>°u, of lowa, once declined the place l>e
cioiso he could not afford to take it. lie
also declined to go again to the
House of Representatives because, he
jaid, he had a competency to make. He
bad especial advantages while n member of
the bouse. He ranked with Blaine and
f onkling, and Allison arid Gurfleld. and the
ether younger men who made themselves
felt in that body. He had the especial favor
°1 I’resident Grant. But he fared the sit
uation boldly. He saw that he could stay
ui < longreas as long ns he chose, probably,
but that as long as be did he would be de
pendent upon bis salary for support. He
decided to quit, and lie returned to lowa,
built up his practice, made u comfortable
fi ramp, and whan h© had don* this was
re ®oy to take a seat in the Senat*.
There Is no telling how far Secretary
rishs splendid hospitalities aided Grant's
administration in happy settpments of
complications with Oreai Britain and Spain,
it a beggarly salary for suehan office—
fe.OdO a year. The man who iScapable of
performing the delicate duties of the office
is capable of earning four or fivs times that
sum in business or professional life. The
result is that none but a weultky man can
afford to take the office. A poor mau either
ought not to have the place orought not to
be expocted to take it. If he is worthy of
tilling it the sacrillce is too great to ask of
any man.
Mr. Ex-arts’ house rent alone, when he
was Secretary of State cost So,ooo a year,
and his expenses were $15,000 more than
they would have been had lie remained in
private life. Mr. Frelinghiiyseii was abun
dantly able to pay the gteat sum he did
above his salary for the ho*or of serving as
Secretary of State, and Mr. Blaine expected
that the office would entail an expenditure
of $-O,iXK) at least.
While the demands are not so great upon
other Cabinet officers, they are enough to
absorb far more than their salary. It may
not be Republican or Democratic simplicity;
it may be abhorrent to the idea of popular
and frugal self-governmeijt, but it exists,
this social demand. It oainot beshaken off,
and the President in thesednvs who turned
the cold shoulder upon soda! life would find
his administration in peri:.
“Why do you resign this office?'’ I asked
Mr. frilflllan, then Treasurer of the United
States.
“Boeauso I can’t carry the responsibility
of handling hundreds oi? millions of dollars
at a salary of $6,000 a year. Why, a bank
cashier across the street gets more than
that, and a paying tellsr there receives as
much as my cashier do®. If lam capable
of serving ns Treasurer of the United States
I am capable of earniuj more than $6,000 a
year.”
He was right in theory, and has found
since his resignation abundant reason for
tendering it.
THE FATEFUL MESSAGE.
In the winter of 1881 a member of Con
gress from a Pennsylvania district was in
despair. He bad failed of a renomination.
He was in debt, though a man of good
habits. The future looked black to him.
During the six years he had served in
Congress he had lost his law practice and he
regarded those years as worse than thrown
away. He liad got to begin all over again,
and burdened, too, with debt. One evening,
as he sat brooding in despair, a telegram
came. He opened it perfunctorily. It con
tained these words:
“You have been nominated by the Repub
lican caucus for United States Senator to
succeed S*uiator Wallace.”
Nomination meant election, and Mr.
Mitchell was sure of being a United States
Senator. Yet he hesitated. He did not.see
that it meant anything more than staving
off for six years i;is trouble, and if he hail
had a dollar in the world he would have de
clined the nomination. But lie was com
pelled to accept the office because it meant
an income. The six years have gone and
Mr. Mitchell is out of public life. But ho
has bettered but slightly his condition, and
he has always felt that he would have done
well had he followed his impulse when he
read that telegram.
The experience of men who have been
long in Washington is this:
First, that ambitious young men who are
poor had far better keep away. So far as
the clerkships are concerned they are de
moralizing. They take the snap," ambition
and vigor out of men and unless early aban
doned make more machines out of men.
Let no poor young man come to Congress
unless he comes determined to save money.
It is possible in two terms for a young man
to save, while living respectably, 810,(XX).
With that he will be able to make a start
again when he returns to private life. He
will have to make a start. No man, either
engaged in active profession or active busi
ness, goes to Congress without injuring his
business.
Let no poor man, and above all no man of
moderate property seek a high office unless
he is prepared to five ns simply as Attorney
General Garland does. It will require hero
ism and self-sacrifice, but that will be bet
ter than debt and misery after leaving of
fice. The day when office must be given up
will surely come. The poor man who can
not accept official life without the determi
nation ot saving some of the salary will do
well to keep wholly out of it. Nothing hut
misery, misfortune and the temptation to
dishonor await him. One cabinet officer
sold his favor because his income was too
small to support his family in the manner
they desired. And the young man who is
building up a professional practice should
shun public life until ho has attained pro
fessional success. Two masters cannot be
served successfully who are so jealous as
any of the professions and public office are.
IRISH LADIES IN POVERTY.
A Few of the Cases of Poverty Which
Have Reached Public Notice.
London, July 18. —Ireland geographically,
socially and politically, will always possess
a claim upon the affections of Americans.
The sale for the benefit of Irish distressed
Indies, which took place on July 1(1, at tho
American Exchange, in London, was full of
interest to all who attended it. The large
circular reading room was draped with
British and American flags, and stalls load
ed with beautiful objects were presided over
by such aristocratic ladies as the Duchess
of 8t Albans, tho Countess of Donoghmore,
Margaret Lady Sandhust, the Lady O’Ha
gan, Lady Rossmore, Mrs. Horno-Payno,
Mrs. Power Lalor and others. The princi
pal merchandise was lace, the Irish point
and other varieties, which need no words of
praise in this place, as for generations they
have been celebrated. Mrs. Power Lalor
has been commissioned by tho British gov
ernment to visit localities whore the lace is
mode, to keep up the beauty of the patterns
and prevent this ancient industry from fall
ing behind in attractiveness tho continental
laces. Mrs. Horne-Payne, a lady who has
lived in America, is anxious to go out again
to dispose of these and other goods for the
benefit of the Irish ladies, if the United
States government will let her pass the arti
cles duty free. As the sale is for so estimable
a charity, perhaps the Treasury will see its
way to granting the needod privilege. Tho
objects offered lor sale consist not only of
modern lace and finely made underwear,
but wonderful specimens of tho goldsmith’s
work are here brought forth by poverty
strieken owners who once lived in luxury
but now nre reduced to penury through tho
distracted state of Ireland. Superb table
ware in hammered silver, magnificent jew
els, rare old china, beautiful paintings, are
now offered for sale by tbe distressed to tho
happy. Nor should they look long for buy
ers; ttieir intrinsic value is greut, and tho
cause of charity is a noble one to uphold.
In our land of abundance, America* we
hardly comprehend how dreadful nre the
straits of poverty now endured in Ireland.
Let us hope the Treasury can find within Its
powers the right to pass free of duty the
goods which that admirable philanthropist,
Sirs. Homo-Payne, is desirous of selling in
America for llie lie nr tit of Irish distressed
ladies. From among the letters recently re
ceived by Mrs. power Lalor I quote the fol
lowing as showing what terrrible privation
is now suffered in Ireland:
"Cork, Feb. 27, 1887.
Dear Mrs. Power Lalor—l saw Miss
H. yesterday by appointment and gave her
tho money from the fund. I made an ex
cuse to trike her to lunch with me. Rho
said she had eaten all she hail to eat before
leaving home (a quarter pound of dry bread.)
I told her I had clothes for her; her face
lightened up,and she acknowledged she could
not tell me when she hail lieen able Lo have
a change of liuen. Her sister is in s&e same
state. I never met with such a painful case.
My people use* l to hunt with her father's
hounds. Yours.etc., H. B.”
Ladies whose father once kept a pack of
hounds—tlie most costly of luxurious amuse
ment*! without bread or change of clothing!
Sad beyond belief! But charity makes sun
shine in a shady place. Let it do so here.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. AUGUST 0, 1887.
YOUNGER EDITORS OF NEW YORK
A Few Points About the Most Noted
of Them.
New York, Aug. 6.—The younger edit
ors of New York are more or less talked
about. They guide the destinies of the
weekly publications, and -are looked up to
with more or lesi reverence and admiration
by people who are interested in society,
sport, Wall street and the drama.
Perhaps the most successful of the minor
editors of New York was the late Charles
D. Keep, of the Wall Street Mews. He was
an indefatigable worker and a singularly
quiet and unostentatious man. The im
pression prevailed toward the close of his
life that he was rather too fond of advertis
ing himself, but there was no personal
vanity in it. Columns of “reading matter"
appeared in the New York daily press con
tinually about the personal and financial
peculiarities of Charles 1). Keep. It was all
of a complimentary nature, but every arti
cle adroitly puffed a patent nostrum in
which the editor was interested. He made
more than SSOO,(XX) in less than ten years,
and he established at least two admirable
pieces of property—his jmtier and his patent
medicine. Both were forced to success
from a beginning that was practically
nothing.
Perhaps tho most notorious of the lesser
editors is Paul Potter, a man who is in con
tinual warfare and who has, nevertheless,
the most amiable and hospitable nature in
the world. He is a remarkable man. For
several years he was at the head of the for
eign department of the Herald. Ho received
a very large salary and was far and away
the most accomplished editor that the New
York press has known. Potter is not only
able to speak every tongue and dialect, tout
he is familiar with jiolitics all over the
world, and is able to twist oast iron dispatch
es from Budila Pesth,Moscow and Cape Horn
into such trenchant English that even busi
ness men are attracted by them. There is a
sharp, nasty, satirical vein in his character,
and when he gave this full swing in Town
Topics it sot the town agog for a time. His
contempt for New York society is as com
plete, alas! as that of most traveled men,
and he amused himself hugely by picking it
in sore places. He left the paper finally and
went down in W all street, whore he is now
interested in booming mines. I know from
an indubitably authoritative source that he
made $14,000 in one deal. He is a man of
really amazing contrasts and accomplish
ments.
Potter’s successor as editor of Town Topics
is named Alfred Trumbull. lie is a man of
ability and an authority on art matters.
There is something very catching and or
nate about his style of writing, and he is
popular among painters anil literary work
ers. Mr. Trumbull’s face is very much like
Edwin Booth’s in poetical expression and
general effect.
Dramatic journalism is decent now. The
survival of the fittest is exemplified again.
There was at one time a number of fly-by
night blackmailing sheets, but they have
given way one after the other until only
two papers of importance remain in the
field. Of these, the New York Mirror , of
which Mr. Harrison Grey Fiske is editor,
has forged well ahead, and is virtually the
organ of the profession. It is a well
written, readable and honest paper, and it
has been conducted with undeviating skill.
Mr. Fiske is a good deal of a man in the
theatrical world. Ho is polished and urbane,
but there is lots of push behind his serene
placidity. One of tho most successful chari
ties, the Actors’ Fund, owes its prosperity—
indeed, its existence—to Mr. Fiske’s efforts.
Truth is modeled on its famous London
namesake, and is edited by an Englishman
named Davidson Danlziel. lie comes of a
family of well-known brothers anti sisters.
Apparently he is trying to make liis paper
of more substantial substance tiian some
of his contemporaries. It is readable and
reliable.
It is a difficult task at best to force a
weekly paper to success in New York now
adays, as the big thirty-page Sunday pa
pers cover all available territory.

NEW YORK BABIES.
Wlaat the Nurse3 Who Go To Picnics
Do With Them.
New York letter to Boston Herald.
A genuine adventure in July was enjoyed
by a lady whom I know. It proved that
the babies of enormous wealth could tell
strange stories if they could talk. My
friend went in pursuit of a cook. Rhe bad
chased this animal to a liar in East Six
teenth street, where, in a towering rear
tenement house, dwelt uncounted families.
She had passed through a paved court, in
which a dripping hydrant hail formed a
hideous pool, about the slimy edges of which
played dirty, miserable children. In the
arms of one of the biggest and filthiest, a
girl of a dozen years, was a sickly child
of as many months that attracted tier at
tention. It was an angelic little crea
ture. The tiny finzer*. that lay listlessly
on a grimy olcl rag of a petticoat,
were unsullied, and altogether, the baby
was an exotic among weeds. The lady won
dered at this ns she picked her way through
the offensive place and climbed the stairs to
a murky little room on tho fourth floor.
Tho hunted cook had gone “to see a place,”
so her sister said. As tho visitor stood talk
ing of the cook’s probable return, she saw
on the bed a magnificent cashmere embroid
ered cloak, a little cap of rich lace, and a
pile of lawn and flannel baby petticoats.
The incongruity of this outfit with the
squalid room struck her as forcibly ns the
presence of the pale flower of a child in the
courtyard below had done. As she went
out she asked the child nurso in the yard
whoso the baby that she carried was.
“It's me little brother—Twat are ye giv
ing me?” returned the hoodlum, and the
Indy fled, frightened at the impudent re
marks of the gang. Nevertheless, at 5
o’clock she ventured to return, to see tho
cook, and, as she went up stairs, she over
took a much dressed and very much flushed
young woman bearing the blonde baby on
her llip. The poor thing’s face was smoared
with dirt,, and its little bands bore evidence
that it hail been creeping on the green and
reeking bricks of the court yard. Into the
room of the cook’s sister pounced the girl,
and, while the lady talked to tho
prospective servant, the child was
hastily cleaned and put into the rich
clothing that still covered the bed. In the
shadow of the inner apartment, this opera
tion was performed, while scraps of conver
sation nlx.ut the pn*eii<* of Tim Kelly mid
Andy McGee at Jones' Woods informed the
lady that tbe nurse girl hod been to u
picnic.
My friend hurried away, and getting into
her coupe, bade the driver not to lose sight
of a girl and a baby when they should come
out. In a few minutes the chase began, up
avenue A to twenty-third street., behind a
cross town car to Madison avenue until the
girl climbed out at Thirty-seventh street,
ran along a couple of blocks to a stately
mansion and disappeared into the base
ment.
The excited lady went up the steps, and,
when her summons wo* answered by u
portly butler, she asked to see the mistress
at once. The wife and mother soon heard
the story. It wo* a fine situation when that
nurse girl was called up and asked about
her afternoon. Sno hud been in Cen
tral Park nil the time, she slid. Bho
had had the buby in the donkey carts,
and watching the soups, and then rode
down in the Broadway cars. Great were
the thanks bestowed on the former by the
mother of the child. Time and time again,
when this delicate child was suppos'd to he
taking the air of the parks, it had been
Stripped of its fine clothing, in order to keep
them fresh, dm.-e-l in dii 'v, thin rags, iu
stcad of warm flannels, and left, to oonlrmit
disease* in the ietld court-yard of a sicken
ing tenement building.
