STATE EXPENDITURE.

A few days ago we pointed out the
extraordinary increase in the aggregate
of State expenditures from 1882 to 1899 a
pc iod of less t1an twenty1years. In the
co npa-atiVe tasles which we publish be-
low are disclosed some of the elements Of
is great increase. More will he present
ed hereafter. Comparisons are made be-
low between the amount, appropriated for
phi ate educations tnat is for education at
institutions in no degree under central Of
tae State; amounts appropriated for
public education; amounts appropriated
for private eleemosynary institutions that
is, teose the tate has no control or super
vision of; amounts appropriated for
public elee nosynary, reformatory and
penal institutions The total increase in
all these groups from 1889 to 1859 was
$47O Sal. Fro n t1is it is only fair TO de-
duct tse appropriation for the Bangor.
hospital, of slI2.t00, which was an ex-
t,aofdinary expenditure, and an item of
$500 for putting water and light into
tie State prison. This would reduce the
increase in these four groups to 1851, 3il.
Inc biggest relative increase in any one
group is in t1at for private education
For this purpose in 1882 only $3.50 was
approp lated, while in 1899 it had in
creased to sss, no. Private eleemosynary
institutions show big rise from e, 800
to SIS, 900. We do not assert that all these
Increases. or a majority of them, have
Teen unnecessary or injudieious. Readers
