crossing, Clerk.
Raleigh News and Observer.
Yesterday in the Senate, Sen
ator Abel, (Democrat,) of john
son, introduced a joint resolution
calling for employees Of the
House and Senate together with
other employees, and the amounts.
paid them.
The resolution was passed,
and ordered sent to the House,
embodying a clause that the in
formation be furnished as soon as
practicable.
A reporter of the Ne,cs and o.
seTUer took the day off, pending
the adjournment of the House, to
collect with some difficulty the
information desired. But the
labor involved may turn out not
to have been in vain. For there
were certain rumors in the air
yesterday that Speaker Walser
had become much worried owe
the swelling of the list of la
borers," and that the added eX-
pense was causing him to medi-
tate both day and night. There
fore. it may not be at all unlikely
that in the true spirit Of re
FORM" Speaker Walser may
have this list scaled down SO that
temporarily it may put in a neat
and natty appearance when it
faces Senator Abell's resolution.
After this anti fat cure, the force
can back out Of sight again, and
recover its former size. More
than that, it could continue to
grow. For it must not be thought
that the equipment is complete.
There are more ''laborers" in
the vineyard whose legs would
not look we'll in the knee breeches
of pages, and to whom 81 a day
is a mere soupcon as compared
with $3.50. The brother Of
Speaker Walser is among these
''laborers, who has answered so
nobly to the call Of the Speaker:
Come unto me you who labor,
and I will give you rest"
The son of Mr.. Campbell, of
Cherokee, also appears in the re
pertoire, and the son of James
A. Cheek, Of Orange, listed as
'.laborer," is duly installed as
Chief Page" whatever that of
fee is, for Democrats have never
heard of such an Office. Being
"Chief Page" he naturally gets
$3.50 per day, though this parti-
cular Office is not provided for by
any law, but what's that got to
do with ''Chief Pager"
These ''laborers" have been
increased twenty-one over those
of the last Democratic Legisla.
ture; there is one more assistant
expressing clerk, and two more
pages. The total increase in the
| payroll thus entailed amounts
to So, $40 for the session-not a
paltry pour boire for a sixty
days go"
A comparative analysis is
given below, together with the
3 name and pay of the employees a
5 present holding the fort.
