iiyert attention from the real issue-the
senate's right to examine department
reCords-by discussion VI the Presidents

Senator Kenna, 1t is said, in the speech
he Is preparing for the debate next week,
will touch closer TO the matter Of an
answer 10 Mr.. Edmunds than any other
Senator, though he will discuss mainly
the Presidents right to make removals.
The Democratic Senators seem to realize
that the Administration Is placed in q
very inconsistent attitude and that the
Presidents position is not unassailable.
The fac. that he has made nearly thou.
sand suspensions from office, which are in
direct opposition TO the policy announced
in his Inaugural address, Ia Ills message,
and In the famous letter to Georgs William
Curtis, is giving them some unsasiness.

triCt Attorney for the Eastern district OF

John s. Wise, ex.Congressman.at.large

candidate for Governor Of the State.
During Mr.-Wise's term ho was asked
II the services OF an assistant District
Attorney were required by him, and
he replied that Tie business of tho oiIice
did not keep him alone busily employed
When Edward Waddill, Mr.. Wiss's sue
Cessor, took the Office, he was also invited
TO apply Tor the services Of an assistant,
and lie answered that no help In his otlCs
was required. AS soon, however, as the
new Administration came into power Mr..
Waddill was removed and Cutlett Gibson
was appointed his successor. Mr.. Gibson
at once perceived the necessity for help In
the management ol his Office, and young
man named Lyons was appointed assist
ant district Attorney at q salary Of 81 500
a0h, yes, the appointment Of Lyons
was perfectly proper" said Mr.. Wise, iu
conversation with correspondent recent.
ly. al have no doubt that under the
present administration Of the District At
totney's office the services OF an assistant
are absolutely necessary. There is no
more work to be done than when | held
the position, but the gentleman who now
has the place must ha 70 assistance Of some

quired great deal Of notorisly because OF
their Importance in settling yexsd timber
questions which constantly arise in this

az follows

heavily timbered he kept the taxes paid,
and the timber intact until about six years
ago when-he failed in health finally dying
May 4th, 1855, leaving as heirs one sister
and two brothers.
SAbout six yes,a ago, Elton Il, Riggs, Of
Peasants county, assumed control Of the
property and the timber was rapidly fell.
ed and sent to market in the shape Of
stayes, ties and logs. Barker, who Is first
mentioned in the title Of the case, had
buying and selling contract with Riggs.
The Bailey. heirs now sue Riggs, Barker
and othera for the value OF the timber
taken, claiming that there was no autholi.
ty for this action. Riggs claims, on the
other hand, that hO had contract with
the owner, under which he took the tim
ber off the land. Tho trial Of the case has
excited great interest, as the amount Ct
money at stake is large, and the defend.

A VERY. condensed statement OF the
finances Of Ohio county appears in our
advertising columns. While this gives
our taxpayers some idea of the condition
of the cOunty's finances, it is not elaborate
enough to be understood. In many of the
States the authorities of every county are
required to publish annually an itemized
statement of the county's receipts and eX-
penditures In this way every Taxpayer
can see Just where his money is going, and
can form his idea of what expenditures
should be increased and what diminished.
Of course, it costs county something to
have itemized reports published, but it is
certainly money well expended. But very
few taxpayers who take an interest in the
cOuuty's finances have the time OF the OPP
portuniiy TO look over the books for them
selves, and if an adequate statement is not
published they have no chance of knowing
their condition. Some Of the counties OF
our State publish itemized statements,
Would il not he well if our County Com,
missioners placed Ohio county in the same
category?
