PAYING FRENCH MIINSTERS.
The <s Daily Telegraph" has published sotne statists of the pay in French Civil Service, which fully bear out my assertions that our public servants, from Cabinet Ministers downwards, are extravagantly over-paid. The Minister of Finance, for insbanco, received £2,400 a year. If, therefore, the Chancellor of the Exchequer's salaiy was reduced by half, he would still be paid more than his services would be considered worth in France. The subordinate salaries are on the same scale. But the most remarkable difference is in the legal salaries, the judges of the .French Court of Appeal consisting of n. First President at £1,200, and thiee Presidents at £1,000 each, against which we pay our Loids Justices of Appeal a modest £6,000 a yjar. No one who koows what he is talking about will pretend that our public service shows any suporioiity commensurate with ts disproportionate cost—" Tvufch~'j
