The folly OF paying large salaries to
county officers is unjust to the large
class Of tax payers upon whom the bur
den falls. 10 fight for reduction is the
duty Of every newspaper in the State.
None should allow patronage to buy
them of. Be independent in this work.
Defend and uphold the party of your
choice as far as doctrines 90, bat aid in
all reforms looking to reduction of
wasteful extravaganza. Abuse and sar-
casm has little weight nowadays, and
the paper that INDUCES in it, day
after day, is looked upon with
distrust. Don't imagine that You have
all the wisdom. The people bave quite
enough OF that article TO know that you
are fool, and laugh in their sleeves at
your silly arguments in unfolding Tom,
Dick or Harry, because he fattens your
purse with patronage. Yet, it is hard to
reclaim any paper that has sold itself to
party. Sucn q paper, using such
methods, should be read out OF any party.
1t is neither fair nor honest. Its utter.
snces are as worthless ss chnff. II muEt
be odious TO all right thinking men. Its
''idoa OF reform" is about as Trustworthy
as balky mule. A paper that defends
the people against scrupulous office hold
els, is the one that carries with il con-
viction of truth.

We think the members OF the levy
court have made mistake in refusing to
reduce the shesIf's allowance for feeding
the county prisoners confined in Now
CASTLE jail. II has been conclusive
shown that 30 cents per day ia far in
excess of fair rate, and every principle
Of economy aud good government de-
manded reasonable reduction. There
should be no personality in the matter.
The reduction should not be made as n
punishment for the sheriff. II he has
done anything for which he should be
punished that ia not the way to reach
him. We only refer to these matters be-
cause it has been ehsrg d that the whole
movement in this direction has been the
result Of personal gruige, view which
we do not favor. The petitions for re-.
duction were based on arguments de-
aucad from solid facts, aud should have
met with GONE adequate response from
the levy court. Every ons seems to admit
the substantial morits OF the question.

need. As we have said before they want
TO steer clear of politicians. The work
ings OF the past is fresh before them,
they know by this time that they have
nothing to hope for.
The demands Of the people OF New
Castle county Tor a general reduction in
county expenses has not ablted one iota,
but on the contrary is gaining in strength
daily. The mere fact of the levy court
refusing to cut down the prioe OF pris.
oners feed, does not gain for them any
deserved popularity. They are bound
by no contract to uphold extortionate
prices. They are elected to the Office
watch they hold to look closely after the
peoples interest. This they must do
without fear or favor.
Another Example of InCOnipetcncy.
Delaware Farm and lIofhe.
The levy court of New Castle county
hos furnished another example to prove
that it should be abolished. Tho farmers
from all over the county have respect
fully represented that their taxes are
burdens3me, especially in the present
deplorable condition of their business,
"hu thut ehoS w hot pfOppou, uhuSF tho
circumstances, to sit silently by and
watch the extravaganza OF their public
servants. They, therefore, have peti-
toned by individual signatures and by
/ adopting resolutions iii their public
assemblies that every unnecessary ex-
pense OF county management be Topped
on. They hayo called particular atten-
tion to the eToroitant allowances Of the
sheriff, and while they did not ask that
these allowances ba reduced at once to a
fair and just figure, they humoly begged
that portion of the excess be saved
to tue taxpayers. But the levy court by
u small majority, decided that 500, 900 u
yeAr is none too much for the present
sheriff; while admitting that the next one
might get along with little less. Whom
the gods wish to destroy they first make
mad" (ipsane). The god OF this world
has blinded the eyes OF our levy courtmen
and caused them to commit hari kari.
The public will not look upon this evils
ceretion with calm oomplaisency. There
will be no trouble next winter to get from
the Legislature the action which The peo-
pie lave demanded for the past fouy
yeara. a general scaling of expenditures
ut this time would have done much to
allay the popular clGmor, which Que OF
the levy ooHrtnan spoke of with 80 lunch
contempt; but tho refusal to make any
reductio1s will ch4n9e this clamor into
positive action in a direction that will in
