The alarming rapidity with which
the figures of the county's indebted
ness are increasing, invites the seri-
Gus attention of every Taxpayer in
the county, and little incident trans.
| pired shortly after the adjournment
of the Board of Commissioners from
their last session, which plainly in
dicates that something is wrong. and
that the County Commissioners of
Grant county are in collusion With
the parties to whom the heaviest Of
these warrants are being issued. 1t
will be remembered that over $1,000
of county warrants for the benefit of
Jas. Drake, of Milbank, were audited
by the Commissioners at their last
session. These orders were taken
from the Clerk Office by Commits
sioner Stearns, who got them cashed
and carried the ducats to Mr. Drake
in person, but the exact amount which
Messrs. Stearns and Cameron receiv ed
for their services in auditing this
steal, we cnnnot say; however, it is
very plain that Mr.. Stearns was not
going to let Drake handle the money
before he had received his own por-
ton Of the booty, and hence his ac-
commodating spirit in getting the
orders and having them cashcd. The
thieves know that in dealing with
one another they are dealing with
rogues, and have therefore to look out
for their own interests.
But the worst of this whole matter
IS that the lumber for which these
orders were issued has not been de-
hyered to the county, only a small
portion Of it at the time being in the
possession Of he county, and with no
certainty that the rest Of it will ever
be delivered. When we consider these
Indebtedness is fast approaching 500
600, and this is only one Of the many
ways in which the people are being
robbed by this ring. 1t was only but
short time ago that Mr.. Cameron
had in his possession, Offering for
sale a 800 county warrant issued to
J. W. Barnes, which he claimed had
been paid him for "breAking, '-
breaking his oath Of office, We sup
pose.
These facts should be sufficient to
set the thinking people Of the county
TO work in IN attempt 10 stop these
nefarious practices, for no right
minded man can doubt for 4 moment
that 4 SYSTEMATIC scheme Of public
plunder is being carried on, to which
| the commissioners are prlvy, and a
share Of which they receive Down
with the ring.

BIG AND SWIFT SHIPS,

Ihe English and French are at work upon
new fleet OF steam vessels to ply between this
continent and the Old World Their peculiarly
is IN their great size and swiftness. The French
vessels expect to run from Havre or Bordeaux to
New York In less than eight days, while the new
English steam vessels, it is said, will accomplish
the task in seven days. No matter what the
wind or weather, no day is to pass IN which 400
miles are not made. few years ago, ten days
trip was considered fast, but voyage of less
than eight days now excites but little comment.
Ship-builders 90 still further, and say that in
ten years time six days will be all that will be
REQUIRED between New York and Liverpool In
another respect these new ships are nOtable-they
are of immense size and tonnage The French
vessels are of 5000 tons, and more than one of
the English ships is over 5000 TRAVELLING is
pleasanter in these great vessels than in smaller
ships, as they are not so easily affected by the
winds and the waves. But it is lamentable
fact that the United States has no vessels bnild-
ing, big or little, to contest the supremacy of the
ocean. Somehow or other Congress is hostile and

ENCKE'S COMET,

Encke'scomet, which has been visible for several
weeks, may now be seen through good telescope
in the constellation of Leo Minor in the eastern
heavens, some ten or fifteen degrees above the
horizon, at about two o'clock in the morning.
Professor Monro B. Snyder of the Central High
School, says this comet, though small and invis-
ible to the naked eye, is one Of the most interest
ing of the heavenly bodies, because of it's short
and constantly decreasing periodicity, which,
while it was 1,212 6-1O days in the latter part of
the last century, is now only 1,21O9 days The
comet is globular in form, and has no tail. It's
orbit has been studied more closely than those of
many OF the planets The diminution of the
periods, at first ascrbed to ethereal resistance is
by modern science considered unexplained. At
Its periheion the comet is thirty-two million and
at its apheion four hundred million miles from
the sun.

And grieve and sigh, yet smile, that they

Vaguely, in his wild way, he thought that this
was the army of deliverance of Faidharbe or
