Happy Thought.
The State Expenditure.
It is evident from the number and
magnitude ot the sums asked for in
the way of appropriations for various
purposes the Legislature will find it
j difficult to keep expenditures for the
; next two years within the treasury re
ceipts. The "claims are not all in
yet, and even at this early date an
aggregate of $30,000,000 can be
figured up. As against this enormous
sum the State Treasurer estimates
that the receipts for the next two
years will not exceed $10,500,000
or about $2,000,000 less than for the
past two years. It is very plain that
$30,000,000 cannot sately be appro
priated when less than $20,000,000 is
in sight subject to draft. There will
have
to be a sevtre prunine down
wherever the knife can be applied, or
. the credit of the State for cood finan-
ciering and economical government
. will suffer.
There is one thought running
through the legislative mind that
this is a great State ; that it is practi
cally out of debt, and that its resour
ces are almost limitless. This is true,
and very creditable to the financial
management of past years. But that
is one of the strongest reasons why
the greatest care should be exercised
in authorizing public expenditures.
The Republican party has been very
jealous of its record and proud of its
achievements in the line of guarding
the public interests by keeping down
taxation and encouraging growth and
expansion in business. It will not do
to enter upon an era of extravagant
expenditures in times like these.
Owing to depression, caused by gross
mismanagement of national affairs,
the State receipts will be curtailed as
indicated above, and it would be very
unwise to pursue a policy which will
tend to increase, taxation or add to
the State debt.
There are some items which cannot
be curtailed, nor is it desirable that
they should be 1 but there are others
that can be more or less reduced, and
many applications for money" that
should be peremptorily denied. The
creation of needless offices and the
increase of salaries are evils that can
not be too carefully guarded against,
Many of the schemes involving large
expenditures, while commendable
enough in themselves, are not ncccs
sarily pressing. They can afford to
wait a more convenient season. Times
will doubtless improve in the near
future, but this is not the time for
encouraging lavish expenditures. Gov
ernor Hastings has promised to look
after this matter, and as things appear
now he will have to make use of the
veto power to case the strain upon
the Treasury. Commercial Gazette.
CAMDEN'S TRAMP PROBLEM.
Thompson Wants the Vagrants Boarded
at Four Dollars a Week.
Mr.
The Camden county Freeholders
indulged in their annual discussion on
establishing a workhouse for the ac
commodation of vagrants who make
the County Jail their home during the
winter months. The discussion was
brought about by the presentation of
a bill for $2,147.50 by Sheiiff Barrett
for prisoners' board during the past
month.
Mr. Thompson, in discussing the
matter, proposed that the county place
the vagrants in private boarding houses
at $4 per week a man, as it would
save money. The Sheriff receives
$2.50 a week board for each vagrant,
and the County Clerk, Justice of the
Peace and Constable all get a fee for
each one committed.
The discussions concluded with the
Director being authorized to appoint
a commission to dispose of the ques
tion. Paper Mills to Kcopon.
Rumors reach us from York county
that efforts have been in progress for
several months looking toward the

of Harrisburg, the present owner of
