Every respectable journal is sup

presumed to be responsible for all

who would oblige an employe to as

A SAN Francisco illustrated paper
has in its last issue capital burlesque
upon the futile efforts of Wilcox, Laine
and their followers, to impede the pro-
gress of the press. In the cut is seen
a pressman running off paper, and
the opposers of the free press are rep
resented as endeavoring to stop it, but
the cylinder keeps on rolling and those
who would put brake on it are being
drawn in with the forms. Wilcox is
seen flying thu ough the air in small
pieces, and the other legislative jack
asses are represented as in fearful pre-
6icaments. rs.

FINANCIAL.
A few days ago we republished from
the Boston Iioss editorially-and OF
course approvingly-an article com.
ineuting upon the growing extrava-
gxnce ofthe Administration and calling
attention particularly to the increase in
the estimates for the approaching fiscal
year. For this our contemporary, the
Entcrp1ise, takes as TO task, and, with
It's usual f0ndness for hard words. calls
as "uajust, unfair and unreasonable. T"
1.-The reply OF the Es.te,p,lse 10 con-
fined to an elaboration of two points.
In both instances the premises are but
partly true, and, as q consequence, the
joint conclusion is false. The depre-
citation of gold is Of course an element
, In the calcalaiion; but the depreciation
Of gold during the last twenty years is
fixed by high financial authority al
some 35 per cent, whereas, the Enter.
prise, in furtherancs Of its.argument,
estimates it at so per cent. In halanc-
ing hundreds of millions the difference
In tho above rates is appreciabIe.
Again: The noble army of officshold-
ers has, Of necessity, been largely re-
cruited in order to carry on the war
against property, rendered necessary
by our enormous debt. These soldiers
wages must be paid. They should be
paid, but paid as economically as is
consistent with the national honor and
the needful national expenditure. But
then, the increase In the expenses Of
this branch Of the civil service does not
.cvver one tithe oi the increase in the
general estimates, and the Enterprise
would have US believe that this in
crease, together with the appreciation
of values, accounts for it all.
Last year the estimates were $685.
900, 600; this year, $3l4,OO0,00O. Nov,
that is an increase of S2l 900, 900 over
seven ,per cent, entirely unexplained,
and unex xplainable by the argument
to; for the same condition Of
facts obtained last year a. now. Dur
ing Buchanan's last year the entire ex-
,penses-excluding interest on the pub
lie debt and the redemption OF in
failing bonds-was less than so ,000, 600.
Since Chen We have increased in pcpu-
1ation some 80 per cent. Taking this
increase alone into consideration our
estimates - exclusive of interest
should not exceed $9l, ,OOo, 900. The
depreciation in the value of gold-say
AZ per cent.-would swell this amount
to s95 ,000. 600; and estimating green
backs ct 80 the estimates should not
exceed $l05, ,OO0, 900. Our interest. sink
ing fund, etc., is less than $l35, ,OOO, 900;
total estimate. $24O, ,O00, 900. Now there
appears to US to be = slight increase,
after all fair allowance, Of about $780,
600 900 which Is unaccounted for by
the Enterprise, or Is only explained
upon the supposition that it is needed
in the collection of the revenue.
Rather ali overestimste, we submit.
We are not In favor OF destroying
our skeleton army; We are not In
favor of so cutting down our navy es-
Inmates ~ to leave US unarmed before
the world; we are not in favor OF
stinginess to our civil servants; we
are In favor Of paying our debt aud Its
interest without discount. But we do
want informatlon-not generalization
-and vaporization-as to our nnexam-
pied expenditures.

JUsr So.-The Reuciye says "Gov-
ernor Bradley is responsible for the
appointment Of Hyman, and If the
latter has robbed the State a share of
the onus rests on the Governor"
Just so. The Governor doubtless
realizes that fact and for that reason has
been unremitting in his efforts to rectify
the error he made, by having the
Warden removed. To err is human,
but to rectify an error-is what Gov
ernor Bradley is trying to do.

are most horrible. The father and
mother were aged respectively 73 and
10 wears. The immediate cause Of the
affair was All alteration with his wife,
who, in altering a pair of overalls, had
made them too short. Alter some an
cry words, Wilder started for shed,
saying he would get an AK aud end the
trouble. His wife followed him and
seized the ak. when hedrew dirk and
stabbed aud left her for dead, and then
taking up the AK, started for his father.

a fearful blow, crushing through his
head. At this point he appeared still
