CROP REPORTS.
Corn.

JACKSONVILLE, H., Oct. 10.-Reports
dated Oct. l, received at the Office of the
National Crop Reporter, indicate slightly
increased loss on corn in Illinois, Missouri
and Ohio. The estimated losses in the
States mentioned are respectively lilo,
Is and $40 per cent. The reports from all
quarters agree almost unanimously that but
little damage has been effected by the re-
cent frosts, but confirm the reports of seri-
Gus injury by frost in the latter part of Sep.
tember, at which time most corn was in
milk. The result will be a great deal of
soft corn, much of which cannot be even fed
to stocks. The reports from Indiana indi-
cate the loss on corn as compared with last
year as only I-l0, which would make the
yield for this year 129,000,U00 bushels.
Wheat-POtatOes-C
AS far as can be learned the acreage of
wheat sown this fall is very considerably
greater than in 1872, and thus far in most
sections the weather has been favorable to
its growth.
Additional reports from Minnesot', H.
inois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kansas
and Ohio, confirm the estimated falling off
of the Irish potato crop. In those States,
which in 1870 produced over 100000
bushels, the loss at the given rate will az
gregate over 100000 bushels.
Scattering reports from the cotton States
mention that much damage has been caused
TO late cotton by drought and worms, es-
pecially in Arkansas and Tennessee.

To the People of BemOnt
County.

Two years ago the voters of this
County elected to Office the candidates
nominated by the Republican party,
on the pledges of the nominating con-
vention of that party and the men
nominated by it that if successful, they
would inaugurate an honest, economi-
cal and efficient administration of local
affairs. This fall the same men have
been renominated and we ask for them
the suffrages of the people, again
pledging a careful, economical and
honest administration of affairs. We
propose i'm this article to give an ae-
count OF our stewardship; in all respects
truthful, Withholding nothing, cover
ing up nothing, misrepresenting moth
ing-a plain, uuvarnished statement of
facts. The Commissioners and Audi
tor have entire control over the three
County funds, known as the County,
Bridge and Building funds. School,
Township and Corporation moneys are
controlled entirely by the various local
boards and with them County officers
have nothing to do except to collect
faithfully and pay over promptly to
the proper officers.
1t is to the former or County funds
that we ask the attention OF the people
First in order is the County fund
From it the ordinary running expens-
es of the County are paid-such as
court expenses, road damages, books
and stationery, advertising, salaries OF
officers, etc.
The following is correct statement
of the expenditures from this fund for
the fiscal years ending September 1st,
as named below:

an average of 1886 II now against
SIG, $40 or under the Democratic adj
ministration. 1t has been chained THAT
the act of the Legislature passei in
1869, threw a large amount OF this debt
upon the bridge fund. Suppose for the
sake ofargument, it did, what excuse
could that give for the reckless action
Of the old board.
This law was passed in the spring of
1869, almost back to the date at which
our figures begin. The Commissioners
have known, that they should provide
funds to meet this debt. How did they
do? At the beginning of the fiscal
year 1859 there wasa balance on hand
to the credit of this fund of over SI7,--
600 90. This money they at onceipre-
ceeded to expend for new bridges and
the higher the debt piled up, the innre
new contracts for bridge work did this
model board make. Through lS69--70
and up TO the fall of 1871 when the
Auditors Office changed hands, did
this reckless accumulation OF debt
without provision to meet it progress.
Let US illustrate. In the spring of 1871
all concerned knew that SI3, 900 would
be due TO the Warnock's and .Somer-
ton roads in the fall of that year, and
that the remainder of pike bridge debt
would fall due as fast as the money
could be raised without, ,resorting to
Oppressive taxation. Now what was
done? Why, levy of sI0,CG0 was
placed upon the d pllr&t = F,,r the fol-
lowing year, anu lac bu,trd immedi-
ately made contracts Gof more
new bridges to be built and paid for
the same year, costing in the aggregate
aear $4,000. Wasn't this financial
ability of high order, truly? Do
you, people of Belmont county, want
to try this order of things again'? IF
SO, don't vote the Republicap ticket
this fall. The men on it are pledged
against this kind of management -.
OF the building fund We SHALL not
now speak at length. The building
mania began showing itself In 1859,
and i'll 1870 and III was carried on Wig
orously. In the two latter years o5li-
cations to the amount of SS4,727 e4
were charged to building Jail, Infirn-
ary, etc. Borrowed money made
things more easy, and interest forms a
large item in the accounts of this fund.
The present board has expepded
about S, Geo from this fund since the
spring of1872 for additional machine
ry. water works, etc., at the Inirmary.
A levy was made this year to pay off
the remainder of the Ilfirmarv bnil6-
ing debt and to pay for changing and
increasing the capacity of the heating
apparatus, which is insufficient and
dangerous. = ~. aass.1 -
In 1868 the County was practically
out of debt except as to the pixies
Large levies were made each year
thereafter and expended as rapidly as
collected and in addition large sums
We're borrowed from banks, individu-
ais and from the various pike and
school funds to keep things moving
How large these amounts were, the
following statement will show correct

ing eight months of his term which
was prolonged byran act7ofths Legis-
lature 50, 2S6 20, which last we presume
was aboubt his legal salary.
The average amount received by this
officer per year, outside Of the eight
months, is sG,249 Al. We have exam-
ined the subject with some care and we
do not hesitate to say that no construc-
ton of law could make his salary bey-
end 8, ,0oe per year, which would make
an overcharge in tho four years of
Si,997 81, aHd it should be recovered
from Clark or his sarcties, as illegal

We understand that the two Demo-

of investigation think that $500 would
be a fair allowance for their work. Mr..
Crossings has spent the most of the
summer in figuring on them in order
toget Mr.. Irwin out of the suds, and
the Cslnmissioiters expect to be COM
peiled to employ an expert at consider
ahse expense to review the accounts
which have not already been corrected.
If the Committee receive $500, for
what they have done, it viii be impos-
lsibie to have this term of Afr. Clark g
correctetfup, as it should have been at
first for less tl,an 5000 in all, and this
would then be at about, one-fearth the

a Adding this cost of correcting and

cratic Auditor recei we'd nearly double

little sum of 1897 81, drawn by that
officer, to which, he had no right either
in law or equ quity. sti.s1 9 Z &c s--E /.
In the name then of the people who
have been swindled out of their money,
we ask the Board, of Com missioners to
bring suit against that officer and his
lsuretios for that amount. isi ;
Itis true that the present board are
in no way responsible for this iplnnder-
ing; the responsibility rests solely with
the old board, who through incom-
potency, stupidity and carelessness al
flowed and permitted the payment Of
these illegal fees. Fhe unpleasant duty

Study these figures well. They are
correct. Their story is plain ONE
They tell you that in three years of
purely Democratic rule the debt OF
Belmont County, was increased $780,
2s6 4S; and that in two years of Repub-
lican rule it was decreased sIO5. .4iS, 81.
They tell you, further, that the annual
running expenses of the Bridge, .Conn-
ty and Building funds for the years
1870 and 1871 reached the enormous ag-
gregate ofs117,741 o. per year, and that
the expenses of these funds for the two
years following were only s32, ,49e 90
per year, difference OF $50, ,2sa, ,02, e
/ s117,741 % under the old admins
tration, against $50, 456 90 now; which
will you take for the future? Do you
want to plunge wildly into debt again,
and again be taxed oppressively as you
now are, to pay off such debt and the
interest thereon?
