A QUESTION FOR C0NsiDERA.
TON.

Our attention has been called to the
fact that the Board Of County Commits
sionsrs recently allowed the bills OF two
lawyers for 500 each for advice given
to county officials. While there IL no
fault to be found with the lawyers for
charging 500 for rendering an opinion
whom employed to do 30, We respectfully
question the right OF the Commissioner
to pay the bills. The county has elected
a District Attorney. whose duty II IL to
advise with the county officials, and, IL
necessary, to give legal instructions as
to tho performance Of duties when
requested. The District Attorney il
presumed to be competent to perform
the duties Of his Office. We therefore
hold that II the County Treasurer. OF
any one Of the county officials. is not
willing to take the District Attorneys
opinion upon any legal question which
may arise a. to the performance OF
duties. and ~consults another attorney. 1t
Ii his duty. not the duty Of the Commits
s~ionsrs. to pay the bill. II the District
Attorney should feel incompetent to
give advice. or an opinion in . matter OF
the nature before referred to. then the
expense Of consulting q competent lawyer
should bs paid by the District Attorney.
not by the county. But, II would seem
that II the Treasurer had doubts a to
his duty in the matter Of keeping differ.
emit accounts the case could easily have
been brought before the District Judge
for adjudication. when an authoritative
decision would have been obtained. The
last Grand Jury. in their report Of jan
usry I'd. evidently had cases similar to
this in mind when they recommended
"that the Commissioners refuse to al
low all bills whom they have . doubt as
to their legality. The parties who pre-
sent thsm can then 60 before the Courts
and have the points OF Law passed upon
and decided"

The steamship and Railway Fight.

The steamship and Railway Fight.
WASHINGTON. February s.-Sincs tho
termination OF the compact between the
Pacific Railroads and the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company in relation to freight
traffic the Pacific Mail has been trying to
compete actively with the railroads. both
for freight and passenger traffic. 1t is
intended to increase the number OF trips
Of the Pacific Coast steamers, and In
order to do this moro vessels are re-
auired. The Directors OF the company
have been In negotiation for the pur-
chase OF the steamship Colorado, which
Is not over six months old, having made
one trip to Rio Janeiro and three to
Galveston. The price Ia $3.50. 900. At
q meeting Of the Executive Committee Of
the Pacific Mail measures were taken, 1t
is understood. to raise the necessary
funds for the purchase OF the Colorado.
Overtures have been made recently to
the Panama Railroad for aid In buying
the vessels. The purchase Of the Colo.
RADIO will not be sufficient for the estab.
lishment Of weekly trips, aud Roach has
offered to sell the Pacific Mail two new
steamships, now on the Brazil route. for
ST. 900, 900. It il not believed, how
ever, that this offer will be accepted.

THE IsfHMIAN CANAL.
De Lesseps and His Engineers at
Work.

New YORK, February 6.-Advices from
Panama to January 2S are to the effeot
that the labors Of the International
Canal Commissioner proceed without
interruption and with encouraging sue.
cess. Although q large number Of engi.
users are employed, none have suffered
from the diseases peculiar to the eli.
mate. The weather has been broken
and disagresable for the last two weeks.
Heavy rains have fallen, although It 10

evidences Of its eccentric character, not.
ably on the Esd ultimo. whom II rose

tiles in the seasons on the isthmus are
the occasion for an increase in the mum.
Der Of chances against health and life.
The good fortune OF the Dc Lesssps
party as regards health has been sxcep-
tional, and all the more remarkable that
many OF its members have been exposed
during the unusual and unexpected
rains Of the last fortnight. and
ell have exhibited % much In.
difference to the climate a. though
they were In their own countries. Tho
geological strides Of the Commission are
now being extended to the mouth Of the
Rio Grande, and thence along the
approaches to the present anchorage.
The bottom exhibits but little difference
with the bedrock on main land, and the
rock 10 found to be soft, with deep mud
holes at intervals. No difficulty will be
experienced In making the submarine
excavations necessary to open the
entrance to the canal. The interest OF
Colombians In the Dc Lesseps canal
scheme Is shown by the fact that DR..
Antonio Ferro. leader Of the Colombian
Commissioners, who received De Les.
seps on his arrival on the Isthmus. goes
to New York today on matters connected
with the canal. His mission to the
United States, although unofficial, IL
intended to render the sentiments Of
Colombians and Americans more In
accord on this question. He Is Q repre-
sentative Colombian, and his views
respecting his own country should be
accepted a. authoritative. Do Lesseps
will hardly arrive in New York before
the Goth OF February. He will be
accompanied by his family. secretaries
and stat. The engineer corps will
remain and complete the working u r
