The question of economy in state ex-
penses Is one with which the Richmond
convention is dealing. Complaint is made
that offices are too numerous and salaries
too high, and reduction on both scores
is recommended. The convention seems
disposed to apply the knife, but it should
do so with care and discrimination.
With a view probably OF bringing the
mittee having charge of this subject has
gone 10 the top and proposed a reduction
in the salary of the governor of the COM
monwealth. This should not prevail The
salary attached to that office is five thou
sand dollars year, with a few perquisites
"a modest sum when the duties and dig
nifty of the place are considered and the
times taken into account. The tone of

ton.
This same subject has been widely dis
cussed in it's national relation. There are
far too many offices under the federal gov
eminent. They have been multiplied I'M

and otherwise to the public advantage

and otherwise to the public advantage.
But this is stoutly opposed whenever sug-
gested. Those who have secured the es-
tablishment of these places and have filled
them with their favorites have a selfish
object in fighting for their retention; and,
as reply to the criticism of the enormous
salary list, they oppose proper increases
in the salaries of many high and neces-
sary officials who are much underpaid.
The result Is that sort of money penalty
goes with some federal offices-notably in
the diplomatic service-and only men of
comfortable private fortune can afford to
hold them. The salaries attached are
wholly Inadequate to the proper discharge
of the duties imposed.
The Governor Of Virginia should be well
paid; and five thousand a year is very
moderate in these times. He should be
chosen from those not wholly distinguished
for being able on the score of money to
hold office He should not be called upon
to make money sacrifice in order to serve
the state as her chief magistrate any more
than man competent to fill the high office
should be ruled down to a raiment Of
homespun and a table cheapiy supplied

Mr.. Hill Is gold man. but is not ac-

faction. He treats the subject not as a

Lynchfnss and Citizenship.

The Italian citizenship Of the two men
recently lynched in Mississippi has been es-
tablished, and correspondence on the sub
ject between this government and the Ital-
ian government has been opened We may
safely look for the usual result The lynch
ers will probably not be apprehended, but
this government, as a substantial express
sion of regret for the violation of the law
of hospitality, will make an appropriation
of money for the families of the victims,
and that will close the case. Unnatural
lied victims of lynching bees are appraised
at about five thousand dollars head; and
so our bill in this instance will be, with
fees and extras in the neighborhood of ten
thousand dollars.
And yet there are southern statesmen
and southern newspapers advocating, with
the view of driving the negro out. the in
PRODUCTION of millions of Asatics and pau
per laborers from Europe into the south
They would fill that section with strange
and undesirable people and take the risk
of running up our lynching expenses to an
enormous figure. not to mention the con-
slant danger of involving the country in
war with some aggrieVed foreign power.
For presumably the lynchings would go
right on, and the victims would continue to
be taken from those at the bottom. And,
after while, foreign powers would get
tired of our disclaimers of responsibility in
such cases, and, rejecting the moneyed con-
sideration offered, insist upon such change
| in our laws as would make their subjects
or citizens safe within our borders. That
would be declined. and we should then face
grave situation,
No, until agree to make human life
more secure in this country it would be
very unwise on every score, but especially
on that of economy, to change in any rad
ical degree our system of labor. The negro
in the south is particularly in point. He
has much to recommend him in that sec
ton, being hard and capable worker at
low rate of pay, but as victim for lynch
ers he has not peer on the earth. He is
easily seized easily worked off in the
mob's own way, and in death he costs no.
body cent. He has no flag. There is no
inquiry into the transaction worthy of the
name. Those who are implicated go their
ways in peace. and the humbiest Of them
would feel outraged if called upon to spend
any time in Jail pending a trial by jury.
Congress makes no relief appropriation,
and if the victim leaves family it's men,
bers shift for themselves as best they may
Strictly speaking, there is no good reason
why We should ex alt the unnaturalzed over
the naturalized citizen in this way. He
who does not provide for his own is worse
than a heather. Why Is rot that true in
this matter of lynching? Why should the
discrimination be only against the family
of the American citizen?
