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. Olive Uxmn. 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. Blakely Hall. 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.
