Slightly beneath him were the class OF

less exceptionally rich. the farmers peer,
no better and no worse, in the social
scale. Abov the farmer stood only the
men of the professions, usually college

ED. JOURNAL: In former article OF
mine printed In your paper 1 stated
that there were fewer clerks employed
ut the late session than the one pre-
ceeding, but II the lists published of the
two sessions are correct, the matter
needs some explanation for they show
an increase In numbers and cost for the
late session. II Is certain that there
were fewer clerks employed In the
house and that their per diem was less
by $500, but the Increase In the whole
number now account for upon refiec-
tion that there were. during the last
session, q very large number Of useless,
expensive, trinketing and examining
committees were sent out, and that
each one of these was adorned" with
one or more clerks,
AS matter Of fact, the clerk abuse
must and will DO remedied. The next
session OF the legislature can aud will
DO un with one-third Of the clerk ex-
pense the last one cost. Looking over
the list Of names Of the clerks. l discov-
cred several that did no service what
ever.
1t Is TO be hoped that there will be- no
trinketing committees sent out In the
future to spend the peoples money and
delay egislation.
There should be no more clerks on the
pay rolls than are actually necessary 10
