Murphyite Economy.

We are constrained to call the
 attention of the members of the
 recent grand jury to a few facts and
 figures relative to the alleged econ
 omy of J. NJ. Murphy in admins
 tering the affairs of this county.
 We are willing to accord to the ex-
 district attorney credit for the good
 he has done-which is nit, but we
 are unwilling to have the people
 bamboozled into believing that he
 has really done something meritor- Ious. Now, in the matter of county expenditures, as taken from the record, we find that last year ex- ceeded the previous year by nearly FOODS. The expenditures of the last three years are as follows.
 1891 (election year ~$19, ,492 B 1895. IA, ,501 SS 1896 (election year ... 1,173 96
 Of course, last year was an cleo tion year, but the expense of an election in this county is less than 2,0UOf, therefore 1t cannot be claimed that the election caused the great increase in expense. Mur- phy must have used his most art less smile to cause a grand jury to award him the palm for economy. Had he been elected to another term in office his economical meth ods would have caused an aching void in our county treasury. Since 1890 the expense of operating coun- ty affairs has been gradually re- duced from 24,08466S to 14.5S1SSf. Of course Murphy had to allow his political headers a whack at the treasury and the people had to suf- fer for it. Cowan Was allowed a rake-off of 200S, for doing that for which he was drawing a salary and the 1908 contingent fee was again in evidence. Fees to the amount of 2,046 AZ were allowed county officers. while for the previous year but S65 3U$ was allowed. An in crease of 70OO$ in county expense in one year is certainly deserving of honorable mention. Economists of the Murphy order ought to be brought to the front. It is economy of this kind that has made the name of Grover Cleveland a house. hold word.

Restored confidence" was to set all things to rights and bring on an ''era of prosperity" after McKin- ley's election. There was no scar city of money, nothing wrong with the financial system, only a de- pression in business caused by a lack of confidence due to a fear that Bryan might be elected and free coinage of both gold and silver again become the prIicy of this country. In the interest of ''the business men" a democratic presi- dent contributed to the election of republican candidate of their choce-a "sound money" man and the shout went up tn It a great calamity had been averted.

The report of the Third Assistant Post m master General for the year ending June 30, 1896, shows total of postal expendi
 lures for the year amounting in round numbers to ninety million dollars. The receipts felt a little more than eight million dollars short of meeting the ex
 penditures. This deficiency is less by sixteen hundred thousand dollars than that for the preceding year. As the vol ume of mail matter constitutes kind of barometer of business conditions, it is interesting to notice that there was an increase or about seven per cent in the receipts for postage over the current hs- cal year. The first qnarter of the current fiscal year showed a falling off in receipts.
