Farmer" writing in the Dover Tnder
thus speaks of the economic turn of
mind which effected our legislators
previous to adjournment: The House
OF Representatives at its late session
made an allowance of $4,000 to Clerk
Layton as against 81 800 of two wears
ago. Reading Clerk Bailey received
SIOO being an increase of 5000 over the |
amount paid two years ago, when the
session was longer and did more work
The Farmers Institute for several |
years has opposed the large allowances |
made to the clerks of the General As |
sem0ly, and two years ago they sue
ceeded IN getting the salaries reduced.
In the face of this opposition | do not
understand how member could again
iaVo" an increase, and at the same time
vote to reduce the salaries at the next
session."
Dr. Ezekiel Dawson, Chief of the
Bond and Warehouse Division. Treas
nry Department, resigned on Nav 3rd
Inc Doctor was appointed in Septem-
pea 1889 and his four years term had
tour months yet to run but Missouri
colonel wanted the place, hence the
resignation. The custom of the De.
partments has been to grant few davs
eaVe OF absence, usually 80 days. but
not an hour was granted in this in
stance. The Doctor has made an eff.
'Ient chief, and has the satisfaction Of
eaVlng good record in the Depart-
nent. He will probably locate in

ession. His many friends in Frederic,
ma other parts of the State will regret
