ECONOMY DESIRED.

Scores Republican Extrava-

Scores Republican Extrava-
gance.
Special to the Globe
DETROIT, Oct. 14.-The statement of
our state treasurer, Mr.. BObleter, that
the taxes must be increased mill, is a
matter in which the country people
have much to think about; and as he is
one of the opponents of his party, and
intimated what will be done in case the
legislature has Republican majority,
the people should be careful how they
vote at the coming election. 1t may be
a little more expensive to properly adj
minister the law as the state increases
in inhabitants. but needless expendi-
lures, careless, excessive appropriations
and outrageous salaries to state officers
should not be allowed to increase in like
proportion, to be assessed upon the
tillers of the soil for payment. Our state
officers are now paid nearly twice as
much as they could get, or make, were
they not in office, and, besides this,
have assistants, deputies and clerks
paid by the state to do their work, saying
nothing about large appropriations as
contingent expenses, of which they
never give any account. If men were
voted into office, instead of going there
by paving their route with money, as is
being done now, less salaries would be
required to square up the past, and
more time taken in curbing expenses.
The county people think state officers
and legislators should spend their time
looking after their interest and that of
the state; but are often surprised to
learn that the dear people are seldom
thought OF, unless in speech for bun
com to secure a reelection,
The law of two years ago, giving the
governors private secretary s. for the
appointment of each notary public,
amounting to some $1,000, in addition
to his large salary, shows how reckless
our legislature was, and the groanS of
the poor taxpayer are so many Objec-
lions for its continuing in power.
While State Treasurer BObleter may
make his public howl to have the state
cashbOX kept full for public depredators
to tap at will aud pleasure, he would
hardly have the brass to go around
through the country with list of the
last legislative appropriation bills and
attempt to convince the people that
there is any necessity for increasing
the present taxes, either l mill, or any
other amount; he would be convinced
before he had been out many days that
his own defeat, with that of his party
this fall, were foregOne conclusions.
The people are determined, and will so
vote that the taxes be cut down and APP
preparations be made to keep better
time with economy, and that those who
will not work to this end shall be kept
out of power.

RUM AND TAXES.
Opinions on How They Affect
State Government.

j. W. Stage, of Albert Lea, writes:
"YOur questions are truly grand.
They resolve themselves into this-shall
we depend upon practice that is

for our city revenues, or shall we de-
pend upon legitimate enterprises for
revenue"
G. NJ. Weston. of st. James, replies:
''Replying to your circular letter of
the 9Th inst, will say: The legislators
should spend more time Oh matters of i'm
portance to the whole state and less on
private appropriation bills, and then if
the number of useless salary-drawing
Offices was reduced we would have a
start toward reduced taxes. At this
place the railroad is fair and our elevator
square, so we have little complaint as
to either railroad or grain taxes"
A Herman correspondent, whose
name was blotted out, answers:

should be made to earn his clothes and
board at least. have no sympathy
with the sentiment that the labor
should be reserved for the working
men. If this idea is correct let us leg

cry. Every foot of railroad land shOuld
be taxed. Our county officers are paid
too high. Unnecessary appropriations
for bridges. Our state legislature is in
session too long, and too many laws
passed, both special and general. More
than half of them are dead letter.
Railroads should be made to carry
freight and passengers at reasonable
rates, which they do not do now. Wheat,
oats and all other grain should be

FINANCIAL AND MORAL.
The People Should Control the
Government.

The People Should Control the
Government.
To the Editor of the GLOBE.
Your circular of the 5th inst. just re-
ceived. The matters you submit for my
consideration are both financial and
moral in their nature. The people in a
republic control Tor should) the govern
ment; so, | take it, the enactment and
enforcement of just and equitable laws
are not only necessary for the well-be-
ing of a state. but are in conformity
with the character of the people who,
by their representatives, make and
sanction those laws. If the people are
of high grade of character. even the
financial operations of a community or
state will assume like character.
Now, there is one element which is,
and always has been, curse to the in
dividual, the community, and therefore
to the state, and that is the liquor traf-
tic; and, to sum up, my opinion is that
the best interests of the state would be
subserved by the next legislature TAX
ing such steps as would abolish intoXi
eating liquors from the state, and by
such course of action remove from our
midst an evil, the tendency of which is
more baneful in It's effects upon the
character of the people than ali other
evils combined. Let this reform be eff
fectually tried and all other needed re-
forms will very quickly and quietly be
adjusted. Respectfully,
NJ. W. GRIswOLD.
Morris, Oct. II.

remedy:
LET every taxpayer vote the straight

rison down to coroner"

Brownsville News.
Judge Wilson spoke to large audience in
the court room at Caledonia last Saturday
evening. He made one of his characteristic
speeches, full of good, sound sense and con-
vincing logic. He spoke plainly upon the
tariff question, which is, of course, the main
issue at this election. The torchlight pro-
eession in the forepart of the evening was
grand and the participants many. 1t is evil

the average rainfall reported from that por-
ton of this state mainly comprising the rain
sheds OF the Minnesota and upper Missis-
sipi rivers was SO inch. 1t is the only rain
deserving of note that has fallen there for the
last three weeks, consequently the ground
must have been in condition to readily alb
sorb about all of it, so that it can hardly be
considered at all as adding to the stage of
water in the river here, but since the river
has remained nearly stationary, with an oc-
casional slight rise during the last two weeks,
it will evidently remain stationary or rise
slightly this week. The details of the rain in
fractions of an inch are appended:
