The Appropriation Bill.

A glance at the executive, legislative
and judicial appropriation bill now being
considered in the Legislature shows that
there is no extrayagance in the appro-
priations. The Legislature, OF course.
has nothing to do with the salaries OF OFF,
GERS whose com pensation is fixed, beyond
making appropriations for them, but
with those which come within its Juris-
diction there appears to be disposition
to be as ecOnOm ical as possible.
The taxpayers have no reason TO CON-
plain Of the cost OF administering the
State government. 1t IS doubtful il the
government Of any other State of equal
importance is carried on tor so small an
amount. II it were not for the demands
for interest and the new capitol a re-
markedly low rate OF taxation could be
adopted.
There is one thing that is worthy OF no.
tice. 1t Is that there is too great an
inequality between the salaries OF some
OF the officials. A Railroad Commissioner.
for instance, gets g., 900, while a Circuit
Judge'ssalary is only 81, 900 and a Supreme
Court Judges $4,000. A Circuit judge
ought 10 be paid as much, if not more
than Railroad Commissioner, and some
OF the judges ought to be paid more than
others, because they not only do a great
deal more work. but, as a general thing,
they dos higher class of work. Nobody viii
deny that $4,000 is not fair compensation
for supreme Judge. The ablest lawyers
of the state who give their whole atten-
ton to their practice earn twice or three
times that sum. As 1t is important that
the judges shall be irst-class lawyers
their salaries should be something near
what they could earn in the practice Of
their profession.
Ir requires over $4,000 to pay the in
terest on the valid State debt, and for 1887
the new capitol gets s25s, 72l 80, and for
1893 $500, 900. These two items cut deeply
into the States revenues. In few years,
however, not only will the outgo for the
capitol be stopped, but the amount re-
quired for interest will be greatly reduced.
1t is probable that then there Will be q
reimbursement of salaries and larger ap-
propriations for educational purposes.

A Rather Curious Case.

1t looks very much as ii the Treasury
Department meant to try TO bulldoze the
board whose duty it is to appoint an
Inspector of Hulls for this district into
appointing the man 1t wants. The
board is composed of Judge Speer, Collec-
tor Wheaton and Supervising Inspector
Curran. 1t has selected Mr.. Laird of this
city. and now it Is told from Washington
that it must select a Florida man, al
though there is nothing in the law which
authorizes the Washington authori-
ties to dictate to the
board. There were two applicants who
were examined for the place-one from
this city ana the other from Jacksonville.
The Savannah applicant passed by far
the best examination, and the board in
accordance with the law designated him
as the proper man to have the place.
Does not the refusal of the Washington
authorities to approve the boards action
appear as if there were a settled deter
civil service law?
Dir. Laird Is in every respect, it seems,
fitted for the place, and there is no legal
obstacle in the way of his appointment,
but the Treasury authorities decline to
approve the action Of the board because
he is not Florida man. The reason they
give for their course is not tenable one.
If we are not mistaken, the chief part of
the duties of the Inspector is at this port,
and, besides, when the examination was
held it was not stated that only a Florida
man would be appointed.
There appears to be some reason why a
Florida man is wanted that is not yet ap-
parent. The board could hardly recon-
mend the Florida applicant who was ex-
amined at the time MIR. Laird was because
he did not pass so good an examination,
and yet 1t seems that the Washington
authorities want that very applicant to
have the office. The office is not very
profitable one, but the curious complica-
tion that has arisen with regard to 1t has
served to call attention to 1t. The course
of the local members of the board will be
watched with interest.

Out where the blue waves come and go.
Out where the Zephyrs kiss the strand,
Down where the damp tides ebb AVID flow,
Where he ocean monkeys with the sand,
William, the hungry, ruetles for his meal,
Slim William, the eelist, gathers the eel.
Up where the jenny iump-ups smile,
Up where the green hills meet the sky,
Where, ont from her window for many mile,
s5She watches the blue sea dlInpliBg lie.
The wife OF the eelist, with visage grim.
Sits in the cleaning and watches for him.
Down in the moist and moaning sea.
Down where the day can never come,
With staring eyes that can never see
And lips that will ever continue dumb,
With eeis In his breast. in large wet wave,
William is filing watery grave.
Up where the catnip is breathing hard
Up where the tansy Is fleeked with dew,
Where the vcsper soft 3 the onion pees
Wakens the echoes the twilight through,
The new-made widow still watches the shore
And sits there and waits, as I said before,
They come and tell her the ptiful tale.
With trembling voice and lear dimmed eye.
They watch her cheek grow lightly pale,
Yet wonder at the calm reply:
"All our tears are but Idle. gentlemen,
Go bring in the eels and set him again"
