THE various state institutions ask of
the 23d general assembly appropria-
tons aggregating Sl,45S,000, whereas
there is but $3.50, III above the necessary
expenses of the bi ennial period in sight,
as estimated by Governor Larrabee.
The committee on appropriations finds
itself in difficult position, besieged by
lobbyists and confronted by sum al
together inadequate to meet their de-
mands. The best judgment is required
to meet the situation, and meetit so as
to deserve the appreciation of the pub
lie. At time when the state is just
merging from public debt the people
will not approve any unnecessary ex-
penditure which will bring return Of
the debt. On the other hand the best
judgment of the people is that the le-
Ultimate expenses of the state institu
tions should be judiciously met. There.
can be no doubt that some of the APP
preparations asked for are extrayagant,
but they are probably made in this de-
gree in order that the compromise may
be more favorable. The appropriations
of the last assembly aggregated $lSG-
07O, SO that the appropriations Of this
year may exceed that by Sl43,707 and
still not involve the state beyond the
apparent income. Judicious eXpendi-
lures only will be approved by the State,
and both parties share the response

The present congress has been very
seriously considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of taking tariff off or materially reduc-
ing the tariff on sugar. 1t is Al article
of daily use in every family and the re-
duction of the tariff would be immedi.
stely appreciated by all. But a great
cry is going to congress from Nebraska
and Kansas and other portions of the
west to have the tariff retained, for they
are undertaking the beet sugar industry
and need the protection. Democrats
and republicans alike are making these
petitions and thus many times multi
plying the reasons for which the tariff
has been sustained by former congresses,
1t would perhaps be as well to remove
the tariff and encourage the home in
terost by a government bounty, while
SO far as the object of reducing the
surplus is concerned the latter method
Tould be doubly effective.

II is a matter of peculiar comment
that lhe gentlemen composing the ap-

be presumed that the gentlemen placed

from facts and figures submitted to
them and that they have sufficient STAN
ina to make recommendations upon
their own opinions. The gentlemen
selected to represent counties and SEN
