STATE EXTRAVAGANCE,

We would again caution our law makers
against making reckless appropriations.
Past precedents are no justification. The
gravest errors of the age are covered with the
MOSES of antiquity, The people demand
genuine reform not only in the matter of
legislation, but in its manner The people
made new Constitution, but abuses creep
in notwithstanding.
We are led to this subject by observing
the numerous bills introduced at Harris
burg for Centennial purposes, and the ra-
pidity of their passage. The amounts are
not needed, nor should the State squander
its money in this manner. 1t may be fine
thing for our poorly drilled and badly clad
militia to expose themselves at Philadelphia
at the Taxpayers expense, but we are of the
opinion that if they desire such display
they should pay for the frolic out of their
own pockets.
And next comes bill to erect building
on the Centennial grounds for the Governor
and Legislature. If these gentleman must
go, and cannot pay their own expenses,
tucli uO hOJ itci
tions to foot bills for them.
The proceedings give the following:
House bill making an appropriation of
| $4,000 for d proper representation of the
| mineral resources of Pennsylvania at the
centennial exhibition to be held at Phladel-
phia. Called up and passed second read
| ing.
Then we find this morsel:
Pomology is also to be represented at the
| centennial on an extensive scale, and bill
has been introduced in the house asking for
an appropriation of $500 for defraying the
| expenses of the several counties in present
| ing their productions of pomology and pay
| ing commissioners to attend to the placing
and taking charge of them said amount
shall be paid by the state treasurer in sums
of $500 each until all expenses shall have
been betrayed when, should it be found
| that a sufficient sum had been drawn out to
defray all such expenses, without exhaust
! ing the amount appropriated, the balance to
be refunded or returned to the state treasur-
| er.
And then the Grangers want $50 900, and
various other institutions are forming COL
umns for grand charge ON the Treasury.
The State has been bled enough, and not
one cent more should be appropriated. The
people have had enough of jobbery and ex-
travagance.

Reform and retrenchment is heard from
all parts of the country, but the most prac-
tical movement in that direction comes
from Governor Chamberlain, of South Car
olina. In his recommendation Of reduc-
ton of all salaries not protected by the Con-
stitution, he enforces his argument by de-
elaring that although his own salary was
protected he would voluntarily submit to as
great reduction as may bs made generally
in other salaries, and he recommended that
the reduction be one third. The Governor
message contains one sentence of golden
quality, which sums up the duty of the hour
not only in South Carolina but in every
State, and places ii in the right; "The work
OF retrenching expenses and removing abu-
ses is always difficult, but it is always
honorable, and at the present moment 1t is
aecessary.-Ledger,

An Honor to His Ancestors.

Mr.. +. ID. Winslow, it appears is an
honor to his ancestors. He comes of a
family ofdissolute characters and lawbreak-
ers, who were well known, years ago, in
and around Barre. Thomas Winslow was
repeatedly arrested for counterfeiting, and
at last box of bad bills was found in his
cellar. His brother, Mark, was one of the
most noted counterfeiters in the state, and
ended his life by suicide rather than serve
out a sentence of II years. Edward, another
brother, followed the same trade, and spent
about halfhs life in Jail. Lucreta, sis
ter was in the gang and signed the bills,
Aiterward, removing to Pennsylvania, she
became the reputed wife of n man who was
presently hanged for murder, and had her.
self a narrow escape from conviction as an
accompiice. Still later, she joined a stroll
ling theatrical company, and died at the
south. She was a person of talent and win
ming manners, but of no principel. Two
other sisters of the Winslows married WELL
known counterfeiters. This family history
accounts both for the cleverness and the
crimes of the Boston forger. He had in
herited taste for deception and for getting
money dishonesty earned.

All what is friendship but name?
A charm that lulls to sleep;
A shade, that follows wealth and fame,
And leaves the wretch to weep.

In the matter of the demand of the Grand
Jury for the secret records of its committee,
embodying the evidence of Marsh, the House
stands upon its privileges and refuses to send
them before the jury. The Republicans,
headed by Blaine, are anxious to make 1t
appear that the Democrats are by this action
obstructing the ends of justice, when, in
fact, the House cannot, consistent with its
own dignity, adopt any other course. Blaine
complains that the Committee released
Marsh, and gave him money to pay his way
to Canada. The fact is, they released the
witness, like any other court, when through
with him he received the witness fees to
which he was entitled by law, and then, of
his own free will and accord, and for reasons
known to himself, left for Canada.
But another fact was brought out in the
discussion the other day, which is Of much
Importance. Mr.. Blaine, with his usual
lington Hotel, and there saw Marsh depart
at exactly 1.30 p. IN. lie then rushed spas
medically and franiically up to his seat in
the House and proclaimed that the Commit
tee was the cause of his escape from the
han DIS of justice. Now the question very
naturally arises in our minds: If Mr.. Blaine
was at the Arlington at l.3O p. m,, and
knew as he charges, that Marsh had COM
mittcd perjury and been discharged from GUS
tody, why did he not arrest him? Why did
he allow him to escape when he could have
prevented it? Good, amiable Mr. Blaine
| saw chance to make point" on the OPP
position, and he would rather hundred
guilty men should escape, than that one in
nocent man like himself) should suffer
disappointment in his schemes. IN, B.
He could have made Marsh if he had
wished)
One would really need the oachlnnatory
apparatus of Master Charley Bates, in "Oli-
yer Twist" to do justice to the subject when
he sees the Republican members who have
failed to accomplish, in five years steady in
vestigation, what the Democrats have done
in as many weeks now, when concealment
is no longer possible and the country de-
mands the punishment of thieves, leaping
into the breach like Ancient Pistol, swelling
and clustering, about what zoe did and what
zoe are going to do, and at the same time
raking up every old, stale fraud Of the last
century, and magnifying its dimensions to
enormous size thinking, amid the dust and
noise and tumult they occasion, to hide their
own crimes and divert the attention of the
people from them. The same plan is resort
cd to by the Cuttle-fsb, but with wide
awake, intelligent community it will surely
fail, RENO.
