INCREASE OF TAXATION,

Probably farmers pay larger proper
ton of taxes, according to the actual
amount of property owned by them, than
any other class. If, then, any class of
people have special reasons TO complain
of the rapid increase of the expenditures
of the state 1t is the farmers. If as, in
other states, the duties of our officials
had become more onerous in conse
quence of the growth of the state, there
would be some reason for a correspond
ing increase of salaries; but here the
burden of the Office in several notable
instances in which the increase of salsry
has been greatest is actually less than 1t
was 40 years ago. In proportion to the
size and wealth of the state, Vermont
now pays for nearly all the places in her
govern ment much more than ls paid for
the same grade of service in New York.
Few persons are aware what a steady
upward tenden, y there has been to Of
fical salaries. We find in an old book-a
history of Vermont by Nathan Hoskins
published in 1881 the following state
ment of the cost of the state government
at that time. In 1880 the grand list was
| 81 1884, $50. Three cents on the dollar
was ger orally voted for the support of
the government. The cum paid into
he Treasury for taxes that year was $39, :
942 SO, and 50, 4500 was derived from
other sources making the total revenue
Of the state $49, ,492 45. Taking the census
of 1880, the annual sum which each in :
diyida of the state paid for the protec-
ton of his person and property and the
advantages of free government was
about 90 cents. Among the salaries paid
out by the state the Governor had $3.50
each of the Judges Sl050 Treasurer, ,$4OO
Secretary 20 Governor and Council $3.50
The historian adds: 80 long as the gov
ernmen continues economical in its ex-
penditures the freedom of the country
may he preserved. Large salaries and
prodiHal emoluments are productive OF
ruinous controversies and political in
trigues.,. 1t will be seen that the grand
list of the state was about the same in
1880 that it is now but much larger than
it was for many years before the inven.
ltorv law went into effect. The total ex,
pense of the state government was then
a little less than $4,000 annually. Now
the appropriations for the support of the
state government for the two wears end
ing June, 80 1890, amount to 81 l,150, ,00C
more than II times as much annually
as it cost in 1880, And yet in 1880 the
grand list of the state, without the aiC
of the irOeclad inventory schedule. wal
about the same that it is is 1SSS.-M o

THE sCHOOLMAsTERs

About 100 members of the Massachu
sets Schoolmas,ers' Club dined at the
| Hotel Brunswick ON Saturday and lis
tened to an interesting address by Mr..
Eiwin ID. Mead on the lessons of the re-
cent municipal election. Mr.. Mead said
Boston was not the only city which
had school question: and that is a
question which, when it comes up any
where, is burning one. The public
mi nd, when it acts, does not make nice
distinctions. 1t does injustice often To
the individual. 1t asks, consciously OF
unconsciously, ons great general ques-
ton. We need more serious Ameri-
canism.
Let not the lessons of the remarkable
agitation here in Boston during the last
few weeks, eliminating, as it did, in the
remarkable vote of last Tuesday, be mis-
construed. Let no honest Roman Cath
olic citizen think for moment that il
means purpose or desire to do any in
justice or permit any injustice to HIM oI
to his religion. Let him be sure that
the great body of really thoughtful men
and women have no syspathy with the
attempt which has been made by some
Of our hot Protestant ecclesiastics tC
turn this controversy over the schoo
question into general campaign against
nii church. Let it be frankly said il
this company, where there are surely
more Protestant than Catholic afiilia
tions, that many of these Protestant pro
ceedlng have not been cred table, anC
that the record does not stand approved
Let it be said-and can say it with cet

so far as the ecclesiastical part of thii
controversy goes the Catholic has taugh
the Protest ant not few lessons in self
control, in Christian courtesy and il
sobriety of argument.
But do not let the main point be for
gotten, nor the significance of this up
rising and this emphatic vote be obscur
ed. 1t was an emphatic declaration by
the people of BJstOn-and Boston herr

ELECTIVE PosrMAsTERs
L H. PUTNAM.
Asst Afj't Genrri

Congressman Grout of Vermont has
introduced bill enabling people to
choose their own postmasters. The theory
that the persons who do business at an
office should name the officer, is. of
course perfectly sound. and some recent
experiences have made the idea appeal
to Vermonters with special force, but
there are great practical obstacles in the
way of putting il in operation.
In the first place it is hard to define
the consti uencies. In many cases a
country post Office has patrons in from
two and half dozen towns, and, what is
more serious, it often happenes that an
individual is so situated between various
offices that he does business at two or
more. and could not be assigned to any
one without arbitrary methods sure ia
make trouble.
And again, and chiefly, it is hard to
have the people elect their postmaster,
because, with poor human nature in the
case, il is too much to hope for efficient
service with the appointment and direc-
ting powers separated. There is no way
thought of but to have the postal busi-
ness managed by federal authority as at
present, and it s obvious that Without
the power of removal it would be i'm.
possible for the Washington authorities
to keep postmasters up to the mark,
Autho ity to rem, We would involve al
least a formidable hampering of the
power to appoint, and there the case
stand.
No one would think of employing a
great number of men to work under an
overseer when no one of them could be
either hired or discharged without the
action of town meeting, The remedy
for existing evils in the managing OF
post offices will hardly be found in a
bill bearing any such title as that of Mr.,
Grout's. .-NetU York Press
