fered a brief statement of the discussions that
have taken place in the Danish Imperial-Diet
this year regarding the appointment of a par
lamentary Commission for Investigating the
Administration in the Mothercountry he OBJ
served, that from the views expressed ON this
matter on the part of the Home Government,
as well as what had transpired in the Mother
country in other cases of the like nature, f.. i
respecting the Commission concerning the new
organization of the Army, the members of the
Commission here would nave to be appointed

one believes that ii will do in a civilized COM
munity to save by taking from the poor a part
of that support which 50 sparingIy is dealt out
to them. 1T is therefore to be expected that
the Colonial Council will be in possession of SO
much conscience and common sense, that it will
reject the proposal of the Committee to reduce
the amount which Government, agreeable TO the
recommendation of the POor-CommissiOns, re-
quests for the support of the poor.

could be effected in several of the taxes but
so long as the debt of the Island to the State
treasury, originating in its Cash on hand here
on the 1st April 1865 is unpaid, and a reserve
fund established, it would in a financial point Of
view be most advisable either to postpone a
reduction in the taxes until a further retrench-
ment in the expenses may be effected, or stimuli
t~aneOuSly to compensate a reduction In the
heavier taxes by the introduction of a
more appropriate lmp0St, in which respect there
could be question of Introducing an excise duty
on the rum consumed in the Island, an impOst
which in several of the English West India
Islands affords an important communal revenue,
which in connection with the consequent in
crease in the Customs-dues on foreign spiritu-
Gus liquors, might exercise some influence in
restricting a destructive vice. 1t would also
be desirable, if something could be achieved
through the Customs-Law for the encouragement.
Of industrial branches, that could afford occupa-
ton to a portion of the towns population, f. j..
the fabrication of cigars, the making Of clothes
Sc, by refunding the lmport-Duty on the raw
materials on the expectation of the articles
The Committee having pointed out, that the
expense for eXtra-clerkS, for stationery and
messengers for the Offices under the Govern
ment has not been posted in the annual Money
Bills. and that these items have increased from
S4,636 in 1864 to $3.50, Notwithstanding it
was fully acknowledged, that the separation Of
the finances of this Island from those of ST.
Thomas and st. Johns, as a matter Of course,
would result in a reduction in the expenses for
the Government offices, he would observe TO this,
that this last assertion is based on a miSunIer
standing ON the contrary, during the discus
siOns on the draft of the COIOnial-Law it was
perfectly acknowledged, that the withdrawal Of
the offices of the former Burgher Council, viz !:
its Secretary. BoOkkeeper and Treasurer,
and the transfer of their business to the Gov
ernment'S offices, would cause an increase in the
outlay for The latter, simultaneously as the eX-
penses for the withdrawn offices of the Burgher
Council would be saved. The necessary aug
mentatiOn in The expenses for the Government
offices was posted in the Money-Bill for
1906 and adopted by the Council under
this item, and in the remarks to each of the
subsequent Budgets it has been accounted for,
that as yet no retrenchment in the expenses.
could be effected, until at length it has been
feasible in this present year to make a reduc-I
tiOn of $500 therein. The former salaries to
the Burgher Councils officials amounted to.
$4,000 annually, to which must be added the.
outlay for stationery &c, and now that the
business has been transferred to the Govern

In St. Croix Avis of the 9Th instant, is in
serted in extenSo the report of the Committee
on the draft Of the Budget for the financial year
lS68-G9, laid before the Colonial Council. Ii
is not at present the intention Of the writer Of
these lines to enter upon a criticism of said
report in all its points, but he will only offer "a
few remarks respecting The manner in which
the Poor-C commissions are treated.
1t will thus be seen from the report, that
after stating, that an amount of So, $50 is de-
'mandrd for the support Of the poor, viz for
ChriStianSted $500 and for FrederikSted
ST $50, it is said: awe believe that such
amounts cannot be required, if the Poor-Com-
missions We're acting in Il judiciOus manner
(the danish text contains yet stronger ex-
:preSsiOnS, viz: 'hyiS FattigcOmmisSiOnerne kun
willie BRUCE nogenlUnde S%kj0nSomhcd i BeviI-
lingen af Undersl0ttelSer') referring to the
discussions in the Council last year, We pro-
pose the amount fixed the same as last year
.S4,45J, say for ChristianSted $4,000 and for
Frederiksted Sl,4j0."
1t is very singular that the Committee in its
report on the Budget should allow the use of
censOriOuS remarks respecting another authori-
ty, in prOnouncing HE same as having no dis
cernment whatever The Committee is OF
course formally justified in proposing to the
Colonial Council only to grant a certain amount
for the support Of the poor, but it is very i'm
proper TO make use of offensive expressions
towards the Po0r-COmmiSsionS it is to be pre-
sumed that such an improperly has already
met its rcpulSion in the Colonial Council itself.
Bat if the remarks of the Committee are al
ready in their form far from being proper, they
are yet more so with respect to the contents,
which of course is of most Importance. The
{ ommittee proposes namely to reduce the sum
demanded with 500 1t is in truth a very
easy matter for the Committee-none of whose
members has a seat in amy of the two Poor
Commissions Of the Island, and who therefore
cannot have any knowledge of the circumstances
and number of the poor-without hesitation to
strike 500 from the amount proposed for the
support of the poor; but whether this is just,
that is another question. 1t is but too true,
that the Island is greatly in want of reform in
Its expenses and that in numerous instances
great savings can be introduced, is likewise
very true; hut a great error is committed, when

Robbery of our Children.
Startling Evidence Of Democratic Mis-
management.


The State of Delaware has large permanent
school fund, obtained by sale of public lands, the
interest of which is made sacred forever TO the
public schools.
The nstallment of that interest due last August
has not yet been paid.
In consequence of this the school at Centrevlle
in this county, will shortly stop operations,
and u number of others are about to do so.
Why has the installment due not been paid
our friends ask u.s.
Gentlemen, you had better address that query
to the " Triumvlatc" aud the Dover Ring, who
saddlcd debt on our State to keep men out of
the army, and then levied unconstitutional taxes
to pay the interest and having done this, appro-
priated the proceeds OF these taxes to paying
themselves their own salaries in goid and finally
were compelled to rob the school children to pay
the interest on the State debt

seven days suiced to transact all the business of
the county. The only suit of Importance was an
action brought by George WEIGH, county col
lector of Cedar Greek Hundred against John Col
bouru, the County Treasurer of Sussex county,
for one thousand dollars. WEIGH alleged that he
had at one time paid to the County Treasurer in
County orders and money $500 for which he got
the Trcasurer's receipt, ut the same time WEIGH
had $1,000 Poor tax TO pay over not finding the
proper person to pay it to, gave it to Colbourn,
who took the same $500 receipt and altered it TO
$500, Colbourn afterwards denying that he al
tered the receipt. Charged Welch with the
alteration, hence the suit. The case attracted
considerable attention. Verdict in favor of Col
bourn. Acknowledgement Moore gave notice that
owing to some newly discovered evidence a
motion for new trial would be made.
