IT is now the order of the day to
curtail expenses, which-so long as
it does not encroach upon economy
lis eminently proper. Ifit is good
business sense to conduct the ordi-
nary every day business of the fam
lily or merchant upon the least ex-
pense possible, so that the best re-
suits may be obtained, then it is GER
tainly right for a county, State or
National government to beconducted
on the same basis. There are many
sources for reducing both county
and State. expenditures, and one Of
the largest and easiest to stop is in
the system Of collecting the taxes in
Kent and Sussex counties. 1t now
costs Kent county, with nine collec-
tors, close to nine thousand dollars
to collect the county road, poor and
school taxes, when under the same
system that New Castle county en-
joys-the taxes could be collected
for less than three thousand dollars
per annum. In Kent and Sussex
counties the saving in tax collecting
alone would enable the tax rate to
be lowered twenty per cent-or,i if the
present rate be maintained, the saw
ing would pay off all the county
debts in four years.
Is there a reason why the farmers
should be compelled to pay these
thousands of dollars each year in
taxes on their farms on their horses,
cattle and other personal property ?
Only one reason, and that, that NINE
OFFICES Of collector of taxes in Kent
county, and THIRTEEN OFFICES of col
lector oftaxes in Sussex county may
furnish places for twenty-five party
workers, when TWO could do the work
equally as well. These are facts

Mr.. Van A1en,s Appointment.

The appointment of Mr.. j. J. Van Allen
to be ambassador to Italy is not popular
one. 1t is believed that MIR. Cleveland
hesitated long time before appointing
him, and appointed him finally only to
please some influential democrats in New
York, among whom is said TO be Mr..
Whitney.
Mr.. Van Allen resides at Newport in the
summer and in England in the winter
His appointment is credited to Rhode
Island. The objection to Mr.. Van Allen
is that he does not seem to be particularly
proud of the fact that he is an American.
He has spent nearly all his life
abroad, and his mode of living
and his ideas are those of an Englishman
rather than those of an American He is
very rich man, having received large
fortune through his wife, daugh-
ter of the late William Astor
1t is said that Mr. Van Allen was ex-
tremely liberal with his money during the
last national campaign, having given as
much as $50, 600 to assist the democratic
cause. He has, it is said, made this the
basis of his claim for recognition from the
administration.
1t is not expected that he will make
much of a reputation as a diplomat, be-
cause he is not fitted for serious work of
any kind. But there will hardly be much
demand for intellectual qualities in his
position at Rome. If there should be the
state department would keep him fully
instructed as to his course of action The
kind of ambassador that seems to be
needed at Rome is one who has money
enough to entertain in extravagant man
ner There was much complaint of our
last minister to Italy because he gave so
little attention to social matters He
was not financially able to do more than
he did. He was poor man and his sal
| airy of Sl2, 900 a year did not permit of
such entertainments as were given by Mr..
Aston when he was minister to Italy.
Minister Astor had millions
of dollars at his command
and he spent his money freely. He
pleased Roman society and Americans
who are domiciled there. Mr. Van Allen
may be a popular ambassador with the
aid of his money, But his popularity in
Rome will not reconcile the American
people to his appointment. If he We're a
thorough American there would be no OBJ
lection to him, because the American
people will overlook great many short
comings in a man who respects
and admires America and American in
situations
