salary Cy gets, it was not the faula
Of the law. Neither did the S'ats
get as much out of il. Thompson
ought not TO nave been so smart. ]
he could not help it, he ought tc hay,
kept It all to himself. Ii what til,
Democrats now say be true, then
What they said in the campaign Wa:
not true. They said In the campaign
that they had always given the Sat
wise, just and economical laws. ID,
hey mean to punish Thompson, o,
have they decided to retorm2 /
they can turn all such fees into tn
treasury direct, without cost. and &c
as much, they will deserve credit

BEGIN ON THE LITTLE FELLOWS
But the Senator waS mistaken il
saying reducing Thompson's salar,
would be the first thing did. III
mad not consulted MIR. Glenn, who
doubtless, had gotten SO tired witt
appeals Tor jobs, that to curtail tn
scramble, he decided to cut off ,hei
pay. For as soon as the Senate va
ready for business, he introduced tn
following bill:
REDUCTION OF SALARIES.
Senator Glenn. of Forsyth-An act to reg
u'a,e the pay of clerks and employees of th
Senate. That Section 2S72 of the code o
amended by striking out the words five dol
lars and Inserting the words four dollars
all other laws in conflict are hereby re
peaied.
On motion the rules were suspended. tn
Dull put upon its passage, read three tims
and ordered sent 10 the House without eI
grossment.
Tae House, of course, was expect
ed 80 pass IL at once and let il be
come Il law. the first thing did. The
| claim 1t will save $1,000. 1t this
true, then that WAS another uujus
law and an extravagan. Democrat;
law. They made 1t and for yea,
paid all this sum, more than negde,
20 clerks, laoorers, &c. TlrnIr
| them down two years certainly di
them good. The "fuslon" Lagisls
lures may be the means Of savin
the State yet.
HAVE CHANGED IN TWO YEARS.
If we remember rightly, simila
effort was made to cut clerks sails
RES to $3 in the session Of 1895. Gu
Democratic friends and membe,
then said it was wrong 10 begin 0
the little mea first. Tnen it was sug
gested 10 cut the representative
per diem down 70 So per day. The
laughed at the idea aud me. it b
saying, the Populists may not
worth any more, but they were an
could earn more, and in some wa
the ''silly" thing failed. If we ar
correct In the above, our Democrat
friends are improving fast, and ge
ting very Popuiistic. But it look
as though they Were going to cut q
on some things and adj to other.
Frank D. Winston introduced til
following resolution and bill:
