Mr. Bowers bill, respecting the com
mrsation 10 he allowed shcriffs for
hedinp prisoners in every part OF the
state came M. rgSssrted unfavorably
by the Committee on parochial Affairs
ID whom Il had been seferred. The bill
Axes the rate TO be allowed, Ia both city
and country, ut 25 cents per day For each
prisoner
Mr. Bowers besought the House aot
to dispose Of the measure, as The com
mi1ee had recommended, by. post
poning II indefinitely. Retrenchment
and reform were pledged on all hands,
but when practical application OF
those principles was proposed, there
was no practical result. The people
were clamorous for the reduction OF ex.
tsavagant salaries and the reduction OF
hxes, and ii was time the House made
aMep In that direction.
Mr.. Heating was n mcMGer OF Lne
committee which had had the bill, The
report OF the committee was unanimous.
There was no member from the city on
the committee and they had no data
upon which to form an idea OF the ex-
pense OF feeding prisoners in the CITY.
out as TO the country, every member
held II to be impossible TO keep . pris-
oner In good condition on twenty -hFe
cents day.
Nj. Hahn appreciated the desire Tor
Mlorm referred to by Mr.. Bowers. and
Muld 90 rs far as any one in the direc- |
acn OF salutary reform himself. This
Ms delicate and difficult subject to
ueal with. and, regarding the pecuniary
Mslng propos ed, was tritling matter |
~ comparison with other retrenchments
@at might be made. He had noticed a
- deal Of zeal emalating from the
nv hsG to reform others, but no dis
poSh,W to reform themselves. They |
nad SEN ID no proposition yet to cAt
Gown their own salaries, to do away with |
Unnecessary Offices. to reduce the ex-
avagant pay IL their subordinates: he
