tioa of ensuing sessions to 40 days.
Many other attempts at reduction of
expense in State and county govern

ing a State Board of Assessors and

the people, whose interests it was

SPEAKING of the NJ )neta~y Confer
ence and the disposition of the East
toward the West, we think it is a
lasting pity that there cannot some
great newspaper in New York be en-
listed to STATE the case of the West
every morning. Those people think
they are honest and mean to do the
square thing, says the Salt Lake
Tribune. They do not realize what
spectacles they are making of them
selves They will tell a stranger in
all sincerity of their achievements
during these last 81 years, and the
story runs about like this:
I'VE fought the mightiest war of
modern times to successful conclu-
sion. 1t left our country Frustrated
and with an interest-bearing debt
over it of nearly three thousand mil
lion dollars. We seized upon that
debt and have got it reduced now to
so small margin that the interest is
bat a little over $40, 000, 600, whereas
at first it was $50, 900, 900. We have
built 100 great cities, We have
built 100, 900 miles of railroad We
have pen stoned the soldiers of our
war until the annual pensions to sus-
tain this army of peace is as costly
as to sustain some of the standing
armies of the Old World.
And when asked how they have
dom this, they will simply say, We
have done it from our fields-our
wheat fields, our cotton fields and
from our manufactures Now, the
truth is, that except for the million
men working in the West, directly
and indirectly in the mines, they
would not have paid that debt; they
would not have built those cities;
they would not have stretched those
Ines of railroad They would have
been as poor as they were for the 80
years prior to the fin ling OF the
placers il California; ana whaa we
figure u what they have paid we
discover that it amounts to just about
the amount that the few miners in
the West have sent to them in gold
and silver
They would not have succeeded in
the war except for those same miners.
Tie men in the South who precipi-
tated that war made their estimat IS
on a basis of the endurance of t.
North; they did not count upon the
support which wonld come from tht
mines of the West, to keep tie in
terest account all straight in the
East and to have its effect bty ond
the sea. The financiers of the old
World said: "We must go slow
