Light on Dark Places.

The friction that has been developed in
the squabble between County Solicitor
Shenck and the magistrates holding unpaid
bills has taught great many people, who
might never have learned otherwise, of the
erinhnally loose methods that prevail in
this branch of the county business.
The county is treated to the spectacle
OF solicitor having in his Office a man who
openly purchases at reduction warrants
upon the county treasury in the presence of
the county solicitor, whose approval is
necessary to give them their face value.
What wonder that the people conclude that
the solicitor is in league with this pur-
chaser in discounting these warrants
This same purchaser, Horace Roberts, is
found employed in the examination of the
bills, for which work he expects to be
recompensed out of the county treasury.
such examination affords him the oppor.
tunity OF knowing what bills are likely 10
pe allowed, and he thus is enabled to 90
INTO the market and purchase them from
those whom he finds to be in need of ready
cash.

There Is no doubt that many of the bills so

IN. Porter, who
Dulfif doctrine for the


- Press, that the Republican
ri must come to realizing sense of the
need Of reduction in the redundant
revenues and must be ready with scheme
OF its own TO offset the Democratic project.
In this Mr.. Dawes talks not as a senator but
as partisan. He discloses his belief that the
Republican party must be kept on differ
ent track from the Democratic party in
reaching the reduction of the revenue
universally acknowledged to be needed.
There is in fact no such necessity. There
is no good reason why both parties should
not agree upon the items of tariff reduc.
ton but there is good reason why they
should SO agree, since sensible men ought
not TO he at loss in determining where
the duties may be most advantageously
reduced.
Senator Dawes comedies the strength of
the Democratic position in favor of a re-
duction of the duties on materials entering
into manufactures. lie would admit free
of duty every raw material that enters into
manufacture which is good Democratic
doctrine. He would reduce the duty on
wool, and evidently has strong inclina
tion towards the policy of releasing those
duties which hamper manufacture. If he
is not swerved from his desires by the de
mands of his party, Senator Dawes seem:
to be in fair way to reach that agreement
with the Democratic tariff policy which
his patriotism demands. 1t is safe to say
however, that party demands will interfere
to defeat a harmonious agreement upor
