A number of applications for increase of silary having been received from members of the public service the applications were referred to a coromittee consisting of Sir Jous CARRINGTON, Chief Justice, Hon. C. P. CITATER, Hoa, T. H. WaITEREAD, al Mr. T. JACKSON. The Chief Justice, Mr. CHATE, and Mr. JACKSON have prexcuted a report which, if we may say so without offence, does more credit to their hearts than their bends, while Mr. WuITEHEAD presents a separate report giving the practical view of the question. The majority report admits that if the fall in exchange and the increased cost of living were recognised as sufficient to justify an increase of salary in particular enses it is obvious that the sumo considerations would apply in the case of overy officer in the public sorvios. They think, how ever, that these considerations may properly be allowed some weight in certain special circumstances, and they instance, "the onse "of a junior officer whose salary was fixed "Rome yours ago, when the valac of the silver dollar was higher, and the cost of "living, including house rent, was loss, than "they are now. His salary at that time was "Eupposed to be adequate to enable him to "maintain a standard of respectability suit able to his position. But his salary was "small and probably was no more than suffi- "cient for his needs. If this view is correct, it easing to follow that such an officer may "be, and probably is, affected by the financin

Now it seems to us that junior officers answering to the description given are in the same category as snakes in Ireland they are non-existent. It is only a few years since salaries were increased all round by thirty-five per cent, and since then ar automatio increase-hus been established | under the ugu of exchange compensation cap presented by Mr. D.
