General News.

Since the publication of the financial
statement and an insight has been hao
into the condition OF the county's affairs
! The complaints OF the taxpayers have been
loud and deep and the indications are that
| such will cuiminate in a storm Of indigna
ton that will snnss..::s ne Republican party Of
the county from center to clrcuui1renca.
The people are more particular OF late and
inquire into and scrutinize with care the acts
of their public servants. They do not hush
into silence at the wink Of party leaders,
as in the past, or do they propose to LEI
impositions on their rights and privileges

their attention most now Is that the tinan'
cial statement shows balanCe-a large
balance-in the hands of the Sheriff, while
the interest on various county orders are
paid as far In advance as l~S4. The people,
the taxpayers want 10 know why this bal
ance in the hands of the Sheriff, which is
permitted to stand from time to time, is
not devoted to the payment of the county's
Indebtedness and stop interest. The
Sheriff has in his hands balance OF s.,

the order of the Canton Bridge Company
for s., 939iU or apply II to the payment OF
things in this financial statement that
needs inuuiring into, and we simply call
attention TO the above that some remedy
may be had.
