reduced the evils in this direction. It may thus
broadly be seen that when we fail to give a stated,
regular, and reasonable compensation for public
service, we find bribery taking the place of honour-
able reward.
We must recognise that we cannot be governed
without paying, on the average, nearly as much for
the talents employed as would be gained by the

somewhat obscured by the value put upon celebrity,
more easily attained in public than in private service,
and the varying degree of security in employment,
—sometimes greater, sometimes less, for the office-
holder than for the private citizen. These ex-
