Making a total expendi ture of $2,722,896.86. Several of the appropriations suggest that economy could be prac ticed without injury to the interests of the state. We will only refer to two. For instance $2,400 for a clerk is a pretty comfortable salary, more than nine-tenths of our busi ness men make with the investment of capital and years of experience. $20,000 are appropriated for fuel and lights for the insane hospital at Lincoln. We would not haye the unfortunate inmates of this institu tion suffer with cold or live in the dark, but it will occur to the aver age taxpayer that $20,000 will buy a "right smart" of coal and gas. Its about $55 per day or ten tons of coal for every rday in the year. North Platte, Aug. 29, 1887.
