We promise the people eco nomical administration Dem ocratic, 189S. zetto-Messenger office. This ml 8paee Fo It has been said that politi cal platforms are made to get in on, not to stand on. Too often the saying has proved a true oue. But that's not the kind of a hairpin the present Legislature is. At least a majority of the House is not doing business on that basis. In proof of this statement witness the followiHg reduc tions made yesterday in the salaries of State officers: State Treasurer, $2,250-was $3,000. Chief Clerk to Treasurer, $1,250 was $1,800. Secretary of State, $1,800 was $2,500. State Librarian. $900. Reporter of Supreme court, $750 was $1,000. ! Clerk to Supreme court, $200 and fees was $300 and fees. Secretary to Board of Public Charities, $3 a day was $4. The Railroad Commissioners' salary was not touched for the reason that it will be fixed in the new Railroad Commission Act which Judge Allen will introduce. The salary of the Superin tendent of the Penitentiary was not reduced because that office has been abolished. The Labor Commissioner's salary and that of his clerk were reduced Saturday. It was decided, and with very little opposition, that the salaries of judges, superinten dents of asylums, superinten dents of the State schools and colleges should stand as they are. m i t inis, nowever, was not ac complished except by hard work on the part of the friends of the bill. The reduction for ces were led by Messrs Wil liams, of Iredell, and Currie, of Moore; whil the opposition lined up behind Messrs Roun tree, of New Hannover, and Moore, cf Jackson. Of course, there were others on either side, but the plumers of the.e four could be seen waving along the firing line in every skirmish. All the afternoon session of the House was occupied by consideration of a bill reducing fees of couniv officers. But at half past six o'cloek the bill was only uboui half completed and the House adjourned with out finishing it. This bill, like that making a reduction in the salaries of State officers, makes a cut of about 20 to 25 per cent. And the opposition it met with was about 25 per cent fiercer than that developed in the State officer bill. in doing good and one wroe home had ever been the safe retreat of the orphan, Mrs. Martha Weston widow of the late Dr. Jabe Weston of Lake Comfort, Hyde county. Mrs. Weston was, we think, about sixty years old. In early woman hood she was happily married to Dr. Jabe Weston at that time a rising yung physician of Hyde. Four children came to the home and added cheer and sunshine to the hearthstone, Mrs. W. T. Berrv, of Swan Quar- ur Spring Samples ter; Miss Eureka Weston and Mrs. Gertrude Shavenler, of Pantego and Samuel Weston of New York. Just after the close of the civil war, while all of her children were young, Mrs. Weston had the misfor tune to lose her husband and was Compelled to assume the responsibility of railing them. With a determination only born of a heroic purpose she commenced the task. About this time Mr. Samuel Jones, of Hyde had the misfortune to lose his wife, and his four chil dren were deprived of a mother's care. Nothing daunted, and controlled only by a heroic sense of duty this good woman though a widow and already pressed by the care of little ones, threw open the doors of her home, and ever afterwards that home became the abiding place cf these orphans and to day Mrs. Edward Bullock of this city, Mrs. Credle of Pantego and the two boys sit in the soli tude of their own sadness and mourn the loss of one who had taken the place of mother and done what she could to supply that mothers' place. Sunday, followed by those who loved her best, the remains o? this good one who was truly the orphan's friend was taken to her old home in Lake Comfort and laid to sleep beside those whom she had loved and loved her, trtere to rest until He that said, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least ot these my brethren, ye nave done it unto me, ".shall dis- ! tribute His reward.
