The FLoRIDIAE has borne Its testimony 10
the necessity of reducing our expenees In the
article 10 reference to the reduction ordered by
the Governor OF one mill in the State tax Of
1882, il speaks of comparatively low taxes com
pared Soith those under Republican rule The
people would be glad to have a second degree of
comparison as compared Nth 1882 This can
0nly result from decreased expenditures. Real
property has, as a rule, been assessed for valua-
ton at "a pretty high figure. Personal property
has escaped TO great degree and some property
has been Omitted.-FernandsnG Mirror, Jan. 81
Reduction in taxation will follow de-
crease in expenditures and q return Of
and a fair valuation of all the taxable
property of the State No sane person
supposes that We shall ever get back to
the cheap government, State and county,
of amte-6ellun days. The thing is impos-
sible. The annual interest we now pay
on debt brought about mainly through
extravaganza and "the scrip system"
nearly or quite averages the cost of the
State government of those days. ~Fhe
State and county school taxes now are
greater than all taxes, State and
county, of 1860. So also with respect to
tSse criminal costs-they are annually
greater than all the expenses of any year
in those days. So that the most any
reasonable person can hope for is to APP
Proxinate the light burdens Of former
times, and this can be done by such rev.
enue system as will subject property Of
every kind to ts;proper share in support
ing the government, by frugality in ex-
penditure, and by faithful accounting
for all moneys collected from the people |;
and this state of affairs we think We are
gradually approaching.

Key Yves. Democrat, January a.

In our Circuit Court, Jurors and witnesses
are paid in State scrip, which on presentation 10
the Comptroller of the Treasury will be cashed.
1t seems that but few of the men who receive
the warrants are aware Of their real worth and

jurors in cash. We don't say this unadvisedly
for We know jurors who have been approached
by officers Of the last court offering TO buy their
warrants at heavy discount, in the meHntime.
trying to create the impression that il was worth
much less than its face value"
If the facts are as stated by the Demo
crGt, the inculpated officers have been
guilty of conduct deserving the severest
apprehension. Holders of juror and wit
ness certificates, not only in Monroe but
in other counties where like shaving is
practiced, should know that the scrip is
worth its face value in gold. Tax collec.
tors are required by law to receive it for
taxes and Licenses as money. 1t will pay
fines and forfeitures or any other demands
the State may have against individuals,
and is redeemsble on demand at the State
treasury in money. The law in every
way protects the holder. The last act on
the subject {" Manner of Payment of
Jurors and State Witnesses" page 80,
acts of 1879, pages l76, y, g, McClellan's
Digestl-has these provisions:

forward such estimate 10 the Comptroller OF the
State, md, at the time of forwarding such es,i.

1t is apparent by this exhibit that so far as
concerns most of the items to which the act
of August 2, 1882, relates, there can be no need
of further appropriations until after the
close Of the present session. If, however,
any action should seem to be necessary In
respect to particular objects. it will be en-
tireiy feasible to provide for those objects by
appropriate legislation. It Is possible, for
example, that delay until the assembling OF
the next Congress to make additional pro-
vision for the Mississippi River improve
ments might be attended with serious conse-
quences. If such should appear TO be the
case Just bill relating to that subject would
command my approval. This leads me to
offer suggestion which, trust will commend
itself to the wisdom of Congress + Is not
advisable that grants OF considerable sums
of money for diverse and independent
schemes of internal improvement should be
made the subjects OF separate and distinct
legislative enactments. 1t will scarcely be
gafnsaid, even by those who favor the most
liberal expenditures for such purposes as
are sought to be accomplished by what is
commonly called the River and Harbor Bill
that the practice of grouping in such bill
appropriations for great diversity of objects
widely separated, either in their nature,
in the locality in which they are
concerned, or in both, fs one which
is much to be deprecated, unless
1t is irremediab1e. 1t inevitably
tends to secure the success of the bill as a
whole though many of the items, if separate
ly considered, could scarcely fail of rejection.
By the adoption Of the course have recon.

Cleveland ran nearly 10000 ahead OF Ruger.
Here are 10000 men who voted for Cieve-
land, Democrat, and Andrews, Republican,
They scratched Folger and did not vote Tor
Ruger. They were, of course, oil Republicans
We have seen It estimated by Democratic
authorities that Ruger's unpOpularity caused
10000 Democrats to vote for Andrews. lnis
is large estimate, but cutting 1t down hair we
have the other 5000 of the 5000 by which
Andrews led Foger. This Ia probably as near
an estimate as We shall get OF the Republicans
who voted for Cleveland. The increase OF the
Prohibition vote from 4, 800 to nearly $1,000
shows where the votes of many other RepuDil-
cans went Carroll was pulled up by the Congress
sOna vote which was larger than his in nearly
or quite every district In the State. His name

ticket and only about 16 900 OF the 10000
Republicans who voted for Cleveland and An

26,S96 ahead Of Ruger.
There IL another way OF estimating the num-

which brings q result similar to that shown by

and Kelly in 1879 SO will the vote of Hancock
in 1880 be to the vote for Cleveland in 1882.
shall reach the vote which would have been
cast for tho Democratic candidate under Ordi-
nary circumstances this year. Then if we make
another proportion with the corresponding Re-
publican votes in 1876. 1879 and 1880 we
shall find the Republican vote which would
have been cast under ordinary circumstances
this year. Here are the two proportions and

sympathetic feeling will not have so en-
phatc an expression as in the case Oh
Hynes. Eight convictions In a single fort
night will tend to deaden that feeling.
Revolving and hideous crime that is condemned
by special Idries and rcsolutely punished by the
officials, cannot have the effect of agrarian
offences undecided by the constabulary ana
untouched by juries. The restraints OF criminal
law are gradually taking the place OF Land
League rule. The responsible leaders OF the
Irish movement know that their cause will be
weakened now by every crime that is com
mitted and punished. They will do well to
