WASTE KEEPS STEP WITH RE-
PUBLICAN MAJORITlES.

How the swelling Of state expenses
has matched that of Republican ma
jorities is well illustrated by the
year 1890.
In that year, all will remember,
the majority was cut down to about
$4,000, the lowest it has been for so
years, and the state expenses went
down to 96,855.52-BARELY HALF
what they are now under majorities
twice as large.
And yet nearly all the legislation
the insane poor act, the court house
and Jail statutes, the county examiner
system, that are made the excuse for
the great growth of these expenses
was enacted prior to that time, and
any high-water mark that can have
any semblance of legitimacy, ought to
have been reached then.
At the very best that can be said.
the DOUBLING since has been a pure
matter of RECKLESS and PROFLI-
GATE WASTE.
