SELF CONFESSED.

Governor Herrck may not be guilty of intentional wrong
in the matter of insisting certain amendments that he
forced to be incorporated in proposed temperance measures
his setting up political bureau denying certain alleged
allegiance with the liquor traffic brands him either guilty
very foolish politically harsh things that have
been said of Mr. Herrck not true the people will find
bureau 1t very strait from Herrcs home in Ceve-
land that personally he in sympathy with temperance
measures but politics and the policy Of his party leaders,
forced upon him the action that brings him much crit
cism.
However in whatever position Mr. Herrck finds himself,
it certainly the echo Of the old adage that the hit
will yell, when the Governor makes such public defense
against the mud singers. 4

With Tax
On Grave Stones
Still the Republican
Administration
Runs Behind.
The Public Offices Have
Been Increased.

While the State treasury is not
yet empty, it will reach that stage
within year, unless marked
change is made In the State off,
cials and the State Legislature.
That is to say that the expendi-
lures made during the year are
about 5000, 900, or possibly more,
in excess of receipts from all sour
ces of taxation.
Four years ago there was a sur
plus in the treasury of 50, 800, 600.
During each of these four years,
from 100000 to $500, 900 has been
taken from this surplus to meet
the annual expenditures.
And during these same four
years, with every thing taxed that
can be found, including graves
tones and the bequests of the dead
the taxation has increased, and
larger and larger revenues are
produced, but the growth of the
revenues are always exceeded by
the growth Of the expenditures.
When the last of this 50, 500, 900
surplus of four years ago is taken
out by this years deficiency, the
state will find itself running in
debt anywhere from 100000 an
nually and the present high rate of
taxes will have to be made higher
to meet that defcieny.
"Why is this the case" do you
askp
Because of unnecessary extrava-
gance. Because of grating upon
the revenues. Because of public
officers having been doubled with
these four years and officials salar-
les increasd from SO TO 100 per
cent.
|; This insiduous robbery of the
people has been going ON for ten
years in Legislatures containing a
two-thirds or a three-fourths Re-
publican majority. Can the
people stand it, ought they stand
it for ten years more9
If not, they must unite, and go
to the polls and achieve their
emancipation on this platform. j,
Honesty in office; =,
Economy in public expenditures
