The recent commandment of Foo
Chow by the French and inability Of
the Chinese TO successfully resist the
attack creates the impression IN the
minds Of some that the Celestials are
without any naval equipments adapted
to modern warfare. Such. however,
is not the case and the French have
taken advantage of circumstances to
make the bombar,lmeni in the absence
of the stronger Chinese war ships.
An exchange publishes list of the
ships of war now belonging IL China.
which In point of number, and
strength will compare favorably with
most of the European nations, and
double discount our navy. From the
stOrning Of this Chinese port II lesson
should he learned in relation TO the
defenseless condition OF our SEA ports.
We are practically at the mercy Of any
foreign power that might send fleet
to attack our sea ports, not even ex-
cepting the Acknowledged heather
whom we are wont to think of only in
connection with the wash tub.

tended by any and every one SO dis
posed, but few people living ut the
county seat have the time To attend
such meetings unless some measure il
before it in which he OF they are indi
yidually concerned more than the
public in general: and those living in
The county do not attend for u similar
reason. In this way the proceedings
of the commissioners are surrounded
with secrecy Ia some extent and the
public remain In ignorance of how
their affairs are being managed. As a
matter Of news the papers sometimes
publish the proceedings in whole or
in part, but such publication ], in no
SENSE of the word official and cannot
always lie depended on. The dissem-
ination of such news is largely mat
ter of chance and when obtained is
unsatisfactory hecau>e il does not
have the official stamp and
max he complete and Il full
transcript or not according To
the whim uf the publisher. The
public are therefore no better cnlight-
ened on the subject of county affairs
as adjusted aud managed by the COM
mis,ioners than if they sat with closed
doors, excepting that any one may
during business hours inspect the
record of such proceedings, il curiosity
or private interests impel. The more
the people know about the proceedings
of the commissioners, being. rs they
are quasi legislative, and always in
volving some right of the people. the
better is il for them, and the greater
the publicity required to I've given TO
such proceedings, the less likely are
the commissioners to neglect their
duties or adopt iniquitous or clious
measures. There seems Ia lac a g.ner-
ally expressed desire that II law he

county commissioners topuhlish full
aud correct transcript of their pro-
ceedings in some newspaper IN the

there Is no newspaper, promptly after
the adjournment of each session.
To such measure We shall give our
unqualified support on the general
ground Of sound policy irrespective Of

COUSTy COMMISSIONERS Pro ED
INGs


Much of the uncertainty existing
throughout the county ~ to the condi.
ton of county affairs is directly trace
able to the fact that the proceedings of
the county commissioners are not
regularly and officially brought to the
notice of the public. This Is not as il
should be, and some change In the
law IL demanded whereby 1t shall be
made the duty of the county board to
cause greater publicity to be given to
their proceedings. Under the exist.
ing statutes regulating the manner Of
performing their duties and recording
their proceedings, there Is no provi-
sion requiring any publication thereof
either by posting or through the
medium Of the press, save only that
the financial exhibit Is required to be
annually printed or posted according
10 circumstances. The resulting con-
sequence Is that almost total ignor-
ance prevails among the larger part
OF the taxpayers as TO the current acts
aud proceedings Of the commissioners,
in which they IRE of course directly
interested and concerned. To be sure
the sessions Of the board are required
to be with open doors, and can be at
