THE INDIAN TROOPS AT SUAKIM
SUAKIM, April Ii tn.

0OAAAm3 <AkAh L j IA.
The whole camp has been much exerciS-
ed by the reports published in the Daily
Chronicle on the affair at HaSheen OH the
10th. While every military man in camp
was full of the gallant conduct Of the 9th
Bengal LancerS the special correspondent
of that journal, who was not IA personal
witness of the work performed by that re-
giment, thought fit to throw aspersions on
their efficiency and gallantry, and to state
that a British cavalry regiment would not
nave retired had they been placed in a ST.
mllar position. Further than this, the cor
respondent openly stated at a restaurant
IN SuakIm that the regiment had miSbe-
haved Ill the action of HaSheen. An officer
OF the cOmmlSsariat present at once gave
Mr.. Barry the lie direct, and that gentle
man shielded himself under the authority
on a staff officer, who, he stated, had been
his informant. Captain Radcliffe then APP.
piled the same epithet to the staff officer,
whose name the correspondent refused
to dlvulge. In the morning Captain
Radcliffe and FIVE officers who had been
present during the discussion wrote an
official report of what had occurred to
Colonel Palmer, and that officer at once
submitted the letter to the chief Ofthe staff.
The result of this action has been that Mr..
Barry has been summoned by the General
to retract his statement, in default ofwhich
he will be expelled from the camp, and

The following from the Hell ma Herald

as well as Lewis and Clark county. The
county commissioners have too much
work for the period they are allowed by
law to perform it in:-
"The experience of this county ought
to be all the argument needed to satisfy
every citizen of Montana of the necessity
of each county having special officer
to audit the accounts of every official
who handles public money. We urged
this when the Legislature was in ses-
sion, but the feeling seemed to be that it
would multiply officers and increase sal
aries. 1t was the penny wise and pound
foolish policy that prevailed, under the
cover of which this county has been
persistently robbed for years, and to an
extent that no one pretends to know, or
can find ont from the books. If we
should place the sum at 100000 We are
satisfied that it would not be too high
and would probably be too low
Our county business has been managed
like that of man doing large business
who keeps no books. While this some
times succeeds in small business which
a man does wholly by himself, it would
be ruin to any one doing large business
requiring the services of many subordi-
mates and employees.
The county commissioners are auditors
by law. This is true in theory, but not
in fact. The business of auditing &C
counts, by its very nature, should and
must be devo'ved upon single person.
specially fitted for the duty, and where
left to several is not and never will
be properly performed. Commission
ers are not selected for this work and
are not paid for it as its Importance de-
mands.
Some sill say that the public is secur-
ed by the official bonds that the law re-
onires. Our experience shows that this
support is q broken reed to lean upon.
Bandsmen will never pay security debt
if it can be avoided, ant whore there are
no proper books kept, escape is easy. The
practical result of the present system is
that after suffering heavy losses, these
losses are nearly doubled by expensive
law suits that prove the utter worthless
ness Of official bonds.
Prevention is better than cure, and IN
many cases is the only cure. When our
Legislature meets again we hope to seea
law enacted among the first that will
require frequent settlements and careful
auditing of the accounts Of all county
oficers.n
