This is taxing the patience of a taxpaying public rather heavily, especially when we aonsider that the Governor, in view of the Sanitarium arrangements on the Peak, the high pay, the liberal allowance of several months' holidays each year, and occasional furloughs for a trip to Europe and back, can have had no other reason for making this extra holiday hut his own good heart, wishing to pour a little balsam on the sores of chafing officials.I enclose my card and remain,
