Auditor General Laws does not

degree of fidelity in the in
pumbent, and the people have a
right to expect that he, as the
especial guardian of their
1Dvenues, shall be neither worried
nor hampered in the execution of
his arduous functions. Mr.. Laws
says to the Legislature: II must
again record my protest against
she payment of Expenses of the
Special Session of the Legisla-
TIRE, S13,789.47,' without previous
approval by the Auditor General,

THERE'S much force in the Auditor
Generals protest here given, from

isar that due economy was not

so long as he has paid his dues to
the Government and his private
bills, nobody has right to COM
plain if he takes away small
sack. Other people who make
money here carry or send much of
it out of the country, and it is too
much to ask Mr.. Wirth to make a
general distribution of his probab-
ly only moderate gains. People
here are often heard complaining
about the rarity of visits from
professional entertainers, and

select their own amusements, and
young folks are more out of mis-

almost everybody goes directly

the show is over. Mr.. Wirth put the
