seIlIag the COUNTY RaiIroaa Soc


We see no danger to the interests OF the
county in voting to authorize the COM
mIssIoners TO sell the county railroad
stock. AT not less than 10 cents on the dol
lar. 1t is generally eonceGed that the
500, coo NJ. K. & T. stock is not saleable
ut any figures, and It is not probable that
the 500, 600 A. T. & S. f. stock will ever
bring more than now, or ever receive any
dividends. 1t seems, and is, heavy loss
TO set down one-haif our county railroad
stock as worthless, and the other half as
not saleable at over 10 cents on the dollar,
but IL these are the facts. aud they seem to
be, there is no use in refusing 8 chance to
get something for it, We have no doubt
our commissioners can be trusted to ham
die the matter honestly and for what they
believe TO be the best interests Of the
county. If they can reduce the county
debt from $400, 200 TO $500, 600, it will be
a decided advantage to to the tax payers.
For instance, granting that no dividends
will ever be paid on the stock, 10 merely
hold it Is no use, for it is not enough to
give the county a special influence in the
management Of the roads. But If it is ex-
changed for $4,000 in county bonds, and
the bonds thus cancelled, the saving in
ten years would be $4,000 interest and
the SSG, 900 principal, or $4,000 in all.
This certainly is u better thing than an
entire uncertainty Of any income to be
had by keeping the stock. We think the
proposition, il properly understood, will
be carried, and if It is. we hope that the
commissioners Will b. able to effect . sale.

a Sensible Way.

Mr.. A. &. White sets the township
clerkscf Lyon county good example,
by having the receipts and expenses Of
the towns hip, and OF the several road dis
tricts, published where the people can see
them, that is, in i newspaper, and they
will be found in our columns to-day. EV-
cry taxpayer in the township is interest
ed in these reports. The law authorizes,
but ought to particularly require. the full
and regular publication of the receipts
and expenses OF all public funds. Tine
effect would he that the cost Of advertis-
ing would be saved ten times over by the
better and more economical fuller serv-
ice that would result. For instance, We
have this report showing the different
manners in which road overseers perform
their duties.

THE JUBILEE SINGERs.-Col. Mekin-
MES company OF colOred JHbilee singers,
from TT. Scott, gave cur people TWO Ell
rtanments at Bancroft hall this week.
There are five gentlemen and four ladies
in the company, and although they have
been IN training but q short time, their
singing is most excellent. The bass, ten
or and alto voices are especially rich and
melodiOus. They sing the old camp
meeting AMI other religious melodies OF
the old days of the south, throwing in
some Of the popular negro songs OF TWEEN
ty years ago. Their imita lions OF the
"bruders and sister, after becoming
"warmed up" are said TO be perfect by
those who have seen the solored people in
their glory nj camp-meeting. Altogether
the entertainments were unique, humor-
Gus and enjoyable. The most fastIdious
as well as the strict in such matters need
not be afraid to 60 TO the concerts OF this
company. There is nothing to offend
either. They were among the best en-
tertainments ever given here.

We have received communication
from James Pagan, OF Reading, taking
ground against the proposed constitution
al amendments and the proposed sale of
the county railroad stock, but it comes too
late for publication. We condense his ar
guments as follows:
Extra sessions would be held IL biennI-
al sessions are carried. The best way is
simply to limit the number of days, and
pay members OF the legislature 90 cents
or one dollar per day after the regular
time has expired. The A., I. 81 S. +.
stock is worth more than the NJ, Il. & T.
aud If the former stock was valuable
when the road reached Emporia, why
may it not be more valuable when the
road reaches Pueblo, and more Yet when
it reaches the Pacific ocean. Some par
ties who. want to get the stock too cheap
| must be at the bottom or the scheme. 1t
will noi save anything to sell the stock,
and IL may in time afIer all become vaIua-
BILE.
