County Finances.

We are now nearing the close Of The
fiscal year for this county, and the atti-
tude of our county finances is anything
but fattering. County paper is being
hawked about the streets at 60 and &c
cents on the dollar, and some classes Of il
have changed hands within the last few
weeks for so cents on the one hundred.
This is certainly deplorable state Of at
fairs, and it appears the more so when
the taxpayers are paying a tax Of $500
on the one thousand for county purposes.
THR LEADER doesn't speak of this now
to indulge in censure Of any one, but be-
cause it is an alarming fact. Really we
do not know that any one in particular Is
to blame for the wretched financial con-
dition Of which we complain-the respon-
sibility is rather more than any one man
could we'll shoulder,-but we attribute it
rather to long series of mIshaps and a
good deal of Encouragement in various
forms on the part of different individuals
at various times. In short, one of the
most perplexing features of the subject is
that no one seems to know any specific
cause or remedy. At any rate the doc
tors widely differ. But the complaint is
very audible, and we doubt if there is
any surer way of some ones immortaliz-
ing himself and obtaining the abiding
gratitude of the people than to step for
ward and furnish an ineligible and
lucid exposition of the entire subject of
county finances in all of its varied ramifi-
cations and bearings. We entertained
strong hopes OF such a thing last Summer
when the Taxpayers Union organized
and began to "whuras;" but after few
meetings and the appointment of commit
tees of investigation which never report
ed,-so far from solving the difficult
problem and placing the county on the
high-road of prosperity with her war
rants at par, nothing substantial resulted.
In fact, the gentlemen who composed the
Taxpayers Union didn't even succeed in
putting on the brakes; for whereas coun-
ty-warrants were worth rs cents on the
dollar when the members of that we'll
meaning organization laid their heads
together on the knotty problem in ques-
ton, they have since continued to
depreciate until they have reached the
figures named in the beginning of this
article, and possibly have not yet struck
bottom.
The situation surely seems to us seri
Gus one, and unless the remedy is soon
discovered and applied, the county will
be stared in the face by absolute bank
ruptcy. Present expenses must either be
curtailed or the amount of money col
lected for taxes increased to meet current
expenses and lay up something to ulti-
mately meet the obligations already out
standing. But taxes are already up TO
the limit fixed by a special act of the
Legislature, and to raise the valuation of
assessments would be the only lawful
method by which any increase of rev.
enue could be realized.

Neither mental nor physical labor can
be accomplished satisfactorily unless the
system is in order. When yOu feel tired
languid, wearied and without exertion, the
mind is slow to act and requiring great
mental effort, you can rest assured that
your liver is not acting properly, and that
nature requires assistance to help throw
off impurities. There is no remedy that
will accomplish this SO mildly and yet
effectually as Prickly Ash Bitters. A trial
will satisfy you of its merits.
