The COUNTY FINANcEs.-We call
the especial attention of taxpayers
to the very full exhibit OF our county
finances, published to-day in the NEWS,
as prepared by our efficient county
clerk, Mr.. Gilmore. This is the first
time such a report has been made out
or published, and our readers generally
will read 1t with great interest. The
estimate of expenses for the following
year is an important feature. Each
general and township fund is fully re-
ported by itself. We suggest that
copies of this issue be preserved, as the
report viii be quite valuable for future
reference. Our OF binary county ex-
penses seem to be about $4,000 per
year, which shows good management,
when we consider the almost innumer-
able items which are comprised. We
again recommend the report to the
careful perusal of all our taxpayers.

every day on the increase. They are
known to be far superior to all others
now in use, for the diseases which
they are recommended. Besides, they
are known to be Kansas discovery,
and adapted to this climate. The
numerous testimonials from promi-
nent farmers and livery men, and his
extensive establishment for preparing
and getting them ready for market is
sufficient evidence that they are an
article OF great value. Farmers should
bear in mind that the health of their
animals is worth preserving, and

The Tammany Society, or Columbian Or
der, is doubtless the oldest purely sclf-con-
stituted political association in the world,
and has certainly been by far the most in
fluential. beginning with the government,
for il was organized within fortnight of
the Inauguration of the first President, and
at spot within sound of his voice as he
spoke his first Off cial words 10 his country
men, il has not only continued down TO
the present time-through nearly three gem
eratons Of men-but has controlled the
choice of Mt least one President, fixed the
character of several national as well rs
State administrations. given pseudonyms
TO half a dozen well known organizations,
and, in ihct has shaped the destiny Of tho
country in several turning points of its
history.
Few suspect, much less comprehend, the
extent of the influence this purely local
association has exerted. To its agency
more than any other Is due the fact that for
the last three quarters of Il century New
York city has been the most potent polite
al centre in the world, not even Paris ex-
oopted. Greater than party, inasmuch as
II has been the master of parties, it has
seen political organization after organlza-
tion, in whose conflicts il has iearlessly par
ticipated, arise, flourish, and go down, aud
yet has stood ready, with powers unim-
paired, to engage in the struggles OF the
next crop ofcontestants Inthis experience
il has been solitary and peculiar Imltators
1t has had in abundance, but not one of
them has succeeded In catching that secret
of political management which has endow-
ed Tammany with its wonderful perma-
nency.
What is that secretP 1t is unquestiona-
bly, to be traced, in part, TO the sagacity
which Tammany's leaders have at all times
shown in forecasting the changes of poit-
ical issues, or availing themselves of the
opportunities afforded by current events
as thoy have arisen. Tammany has not
only furnished the most capable politicians
the country has possessed but has manag-
ed to ally itself with the shrewdest ones TO
be found outside of its own organization.
1t has always shown u willingness to trade
