STATE EXPENSES.
It stTikes tig 6urv State cohteropo-
ranea are warmisg up to . the work,
and ar e bent on having a redndtion
salaries and a strict eeonomy in
the administration of ' tUo' Statel go
veriiment. The i Star tas already ex
pressed its views in general terms.
We are really gratified to see so much
interest in the matter of public econ
omy, 3sd we have strong hopes that
much good will come; from the dis
cussmoiu The power of the press to
reform abuses andto , carry forward
'to successful coustimmation works of
public utility, cannot be questioned
by any one. If the press has been
sometimes an engine of oppression, it
has generally stood up for; the
right with' a manfalness 1 worthy of
the noblest characters, and nas been
the real custodian and friend of the
liheriiesof the people. . When! then
the press of any State takes hold of
:ir:y principle or practice with a uni
itul purpose-to crush or improve, we
-may look for results corresponding
enureiy wua sncn results. We re
gard it as a matter for gratulation
that the papers of North Carolina
are devoting bo much of their space to
the discassion of those great questions
that so much concern the material
and intellectual development of our
people. Every true friend of sound,
economical government, and of pop
nlar education, must wish them God;
speed in their efforts to secure the
greatest, happiness for the largest
number. " ' '
Among the most timely and prac
tical articles we have seen appeared
in the Raleigh JTews of some, weeks
asjo, and ' was signed "A Farmer."
We intended .at .the time drawing
some figures from it, but other mat
tersnsommanded our attention
We suggested in an editorial some
time ago that whilst it was necessary
to cut down salaries and curtail ex
penses, that care. should be taken not
to be too excessive in that direction.
To be "penny-wise" sometimes r ends
in being fpound-foolish," according
to the well knqwh saw-.1 '";. V..' " ;
The writer for thel News consider
first the r Governor' salary, and sas
correctly; as we thinky that no redact
ti o n , c ad ( apply, to the present i ncUm
bent. - But he; adds: ' i ; :
"The proposed' ''deduction mast, there
fore, be made py the Legislature this win
ter, as new incumbent will be elected.;
before the' next Legislature, and then their,
salaries cannot be touched for four, years to,
.'. come." - Js;V,;i;r,V
The next Legislature cannot avoid
this matter. They will be bound to
act. He estimates the Governor's '
pay, iucludiug cFerk hire, at $5,350, ..
and says: . l ,----- : :-' ;
"Before the war, Graham, r Bragg, Reid,
Ellis, and , others received $3,000 and no
clerk liire.' .Why then.'i should the' cpu-,
tinue to be this increase of $2,350 in one'
office to be paid by a people not half as
wealthy ae we were in 1860 f "
We think, the Crovernor of a State
with some twelve hundred thousand
people should, receive, all told $3,060
as his salary, exclusive of a hotlse.'
Hixpenscs in Kaleigh are greater no w
than they were in the ays of 1 Gra
ham and Bragg. It costs .more to.
. live. In'those days a Governor had'
often to draw on his private iuods.
This oughts' not to be required whefe
there is no extravagance. A -Gov-?
ernor of a great State, being a public'
official, must often incur expenses,
