RUMoRs affecting the condition of the
County Treasury have been ahoat for
several days past. Exaggerated and wild
stories have filed the air. They seem
all to have sprung out of the fact that
county orders have not been paid for
some time. The fact is, that owing to
the extraordinary expense of the county
Court, together with probably some
extravaganza on the part Of the
officials, the county funds have
been overdrawn to the amount of
about $4,000. Out of the taxes that
have been collected this month, about
$4,000 of this overdraft will be made
good, and the June collection will, it is
anticipated, be sufficient to make good
the entire raft,-RepOsitOry.
Yes, and there were also wild stories"
and "rumors" affecting the County Com
missioners, set ahoat by certain journal
anxious to create sensation. Last week
however, the Stark County DEMOCRAT
published the Commissioners reply and
other documents that settled these "wild
stories" and "rumors," and placed those
worthy officials in the true position be-
fore the public The DEMOCRAT publish
ed those articles fairly, with expressive
head lines, not with lying head lines, to
thwart an honest publicjudgment. Just
criticism is one thing, but unjust criti-
cism is simply base and dishonest. Fair
journalism is one thing, and unfair jour
nalism quite another To say, for exam
pie, that probably" officials have done
wrong, been "extravagant," &c, is unfair,
for their acts are public, and there is no
probably" about such matters. These
insinuations are unworthy fair journal
ism, even towards officials elected by the
opposite party; and certainly unpardona'
BILE toward members of that papers own
party. We have never conceived it to
be the duty of an editor to descend from
the dignity of decent and respectable
journalism to crafty party spite, and aim
thus to succeed to power. 1t is short
sighted policy in any one, and fails, usu'
ally, to bear the fruit desired and ex'
pected.
Truth is the scimeter of victory, the
shield against error, and the majesty Of
power.

A MARYLAND State Convention, presi-
ded over by Montgomery Blair, and at
tended largely by able and influential
gentlemen, has wrestled with the tramp
question the past week. The general
ideas expressed were that legislatures,
municipal bodies, and the individual cit
izen must 60 to work at once and grasp
the gigantic evil. The discussion took a
wide range. 1t is an ulsolved riddle-a
problem more difficult than slavery. War
won't rid us of the tramp, as it did sla-
very, but rather increase his numbers.
The convention recommended laws to
arrest all tramps, and on conviction send
them to work house.

DIGGING FOR The DEAD.

New York, Dec. 24-Only about thirty
laborers are to-day engaged in clearing
away the debris of the late Barclay street
fire. The work progresses slowly, and
workmen have not yet reached the flue,
which, it is believed, was the cause Of
the disaster. 1t is now stated that no
one was left in the rear of the building,
the foreman having remained until he
had seen the last person leave. This, if
true, leads to the theory that the bodies
of those who perished will be found to-
gether where their exit was cut off by
the blown up fue, and it will require 20
feet more excavating to reach the spot
where the fue is supposed to have burst.
At the present rate of digging the inter-
vening debris will not be removed for
several days.
