TROPICAL FRUITS FOR SouTH AND WEST
The trade in tropical fruits to the port Of New
Orleans begins to assume considerable pro-
portions. The country from which fruit
supply may be drawnis immense, comprising
the coast OF Belize, Guatemala, Honduras
and further south, even to Aspinwall, where
@ fine fruit trade is now carried on with New
York. New Orleans possesses unusual adj
vantages for the distribution of fruit to the
great cities of tho West, her leading lines Of
rail carrying freights rapidly and cheaply !;
besides furnishing In her own market a no I'M
important demand. The voyage from Cen
trail American ports to New Orleans is shorter
by several days than that to New York, and
fruit In either winter or summer would arrive
In much better condition. St. Louis, Louis
Vile, Cincinnati, Chicago, and other cities Of
the West and Northwest are in close railroad
communication with the Crescent City. By
the use of cars adapted to the business, fruits
could be laid down In those cities from Con-
trail America in fine order, and In about the
same time rs 1t now takes steamer on the
trip from Aspinwall to New York.. Panama

Secretary Sherman has issued n letter in
regard to the condition Of the treasury for
specie resumption. in which some important
facts arc set forth. His estimate of the
amount of coin which will be on hand jan
suary for resumption purposes, is S134, 231 1896,
He reports. however, that there is Il much
4 larger quantity Of coin in the treasury than
athis, but there arc liabilities which it must BIO

#Forty years ago nearly every farmer in the
country knew how to raise and prepare flax

thread mills in New York and New Jersey,
The business is given over to foreign manu-

why is This Thus?

Are there any Credit Mobilier oper-
ations connected with the manage
ment of our county finaneaese ~ not,
why is the Annual Report of the Cons
missioners required by law; WITHHELD
from the public? sThere = a law ur0n
the Statute book which in substance,
provides that the County Commission
ers shall, on or before the first Mon
day of September annually, make a
DETAILED report in writing to the
Court of Common Pleas of the county
of their financial transactions during
the year preceding, and the Court
shall cause the same to be investigat-
ed by the Prosecuting Attorney and
two other suitable persons, to see
whether or not any money has been ex-
pended contrary to law, &c. Andwhen
the committee shall have made such
examination they shall file said finan-
cial statement with the County Audi
tor, for the use of the Commissioners !;
and it shall be the duty of the Com
missioners, Immediately thereafter, to
cause such statement together with
said Report of the said examiners, to be
published in a compact form for one
week in two weekly newspapers OF
different political parties in the county,
if there are two such papers there pub
Iisi,ed; il not, then a publication in
one shall be sufficient. The law i'm
pose penalty of $lOO each on the
Commissioners for the neglect Of this
duty and requirers the Prosecuting
Attorney to see its collection. n
This law has been on the statute
book i'm full force for two years at least,
yet the. duties imposed have, for some
inexplicable reason, been wholly ne
elected. While the public guardians
are keen upon the scent for neglect or
wrong-doing in others they utterly 1g-
more and disregard the duties imposed
upon themselves. Let them remove
the beams from their own eyes that
they may the more clearly discern the
notes in the optics of their fellows.
