The Conner sville Times publishes
the same article we did last week,
tb Indianapolis Journal,8ign
r "Neither of them attempt to de
fend the action of Congress in rais
ing the salary of its members; But
as the popular sentiment eems to
who parti
icipaed in the recent in-
crease, tne articles Above? referred
to only desire to call attention to
former actions of the -same kind,
when the question naturally . arises
whe ther . the member oi Congress
who voted to increase ins pay and
date it; back, in 1873, is any worse
uian inose wno cua tne same tning
in 1866, a -1855, cor at any former
time .' It is a iamentablo fact - that
every: time; the" salary of n member
of Congress has been increased the
increase has been dated back: so the
last Congress only- followed after
the numerous precedents."' . We be-
neve tne. precedent sa ad one, and
hope it will be followed no more.
We do ' not subscribe to the fallacy
that wnen a man is elected to office,
that said election is -equivalent to
an agreement on his part that he
will serve ' his " term at the salary
paid, at the time -he was elected.
Salaries may be too high. pr r they
may be' too low, and in either case
they should be change regai dless of
who holds the: office, or when he
was elected or how long he has
served. .'But the change should not
be dated back. And while we think
the recent so called "salary grab
was wrong, we see no reason for
cauing tnose wno nave tasen, or
may take, the backpay thieves and
plunderers. The increase of 1866
was, on principle, exactly the same
as the increase of 1873, and if those
who participated in the latter are
thieves and plunderers, so are those
who participated in .the former. It
is much better to treat all ; things
with reason, and calm but decided
opposition will always effect more
than violence and ; unreasonable
abuse and 'denunciation." ,
, The Ohio Senate has - adopted
preamble and resolutions, declaring
tne recent increase oi salaries o:
members of Congress meets with
the disapproval of the people o:
Ohio and the country at large, "and
calling upon the Senators and Rep
feeenatives from that State to, use
all means in their power to-pro-cure

There were a number of remark
able escapes of (children, of whom
there were probably not less -than

down- " One little - fellow -about
: thiftecn years, of age was caught
. by both feet ih the iron rigging of
one of the spans, and had one of
' his legs broken. lie managed by
sheer strength k pull one of his
! boots oflf, tearing the sole off in
the process; then cooly akin gout
his knife tipped' the other boot
from the foot of the wounded leg
' and then, crippled as be was.swam
ashore. Two little girls,' sisters,
were fctanding side - by aide' and
went down together.' As they
reached the water the elder caught
. the other by her dress with' one
band, nd with the other clung to
' a portion ot the : iron" work, and
clung fast to it, up to her: neck in
the icy water, until they were both

Chicago, May 5. The : following
details, - from an' extra' published
this morning by the Sterling Mills
Gazette, will give a clearer idea of
the manner and djrect cause of the
Dixon bridge disaster than anything
before received:";" ,'
The people were closely crowded
on the roadway, and the immense
weight, all on one side, was too
much for the bridge. . One -of - the
can ' strincrers , snapping . asunder
allowing the north section; to sag
from the abutment, and sling , into
the river, with its hvmg -burden-Between
the foot and wagon t ways
was a network of iron braces, about
nine feet high, and tins toppled over
on the mass of humanity owho -had
been thrown into the river, and by
it the men, women and children
were pinioned- beneath - the water,
without power to neip memseives,
and too firmly bound by the weight
of iron to be aided by their friends.
It appears that . the bridge was
constructed in such a manner as to
make each section dependent on the
others for support, and when the
north section gave way the balance
' sagged between the piers, making a
, complete wreck of the entire stxuc
ture. . , I::- '
; So far as we know no fatal , casu
i alties occurred on any section but
the first, thouarh several were seri-
i ously injures" by being crushed be
twecn. the iron work. : , " r' .

I are filled with - incidents attendant
on the fearful calamity, -but add
little to - the . main facts already

whose bodies have already been re
