Auditor BaTthOIet Nails some Ne.
publican Lies.

EDITOR HERALD:-In last weeks issue
of the Republic, in commenting on the
report Of the accountants examination Of
the accounts Of the auditor and treasurer,
the political genius who presides over the
columns Of that great and good paper,
makes some statements which are not
correct, and in regard to which, in justice
to myself and friends, desire to be set
right before the public.
First-The difference Of 1860 which
appears in that statement had existed
for a long time before l was elected
county auditor, and for which am in no
way accountable. =
Second-"Poll taxes charged in error,
81, &c.," When the duplicate assessment
roll was turned over to the county treas
urer, as he did not call for the poll tax
receipts (which are usually charged to
county treasurers when received from the
auditor, it was my duty to charge him
with the poll taxes, which l did, and to
have credited him in our August settle
ment with the amount Of polls remaining
unpaid. As there was no settlement
made in August, as soon as the treas
urer reported the amount Of poll taxes
collected for 1889 land which was verified
by the accountants), made cross entry
giving him credit for the 1890, and
charged him with the amount collected,
viz: $S04-poll taxes Of 1888. $l22
enlarged to me also as error, not entered,
was before my election as auditor.
The item Of $775.53, commissions not
credited to the county treasurer, is not an
error, nor even an omission, and Ii al
ways adjusted with the treasurer and
credited at our annual or semi-annual
settlements, and the failure to make such
settlement was no fault Of the auditor.
The last and smallest item Of the
alleged errors, $3.50, is reported by the
accountants to be an error in figures by
clerk in my Office who made out the
transcript, and which have not yet ex-
amined.
This, Mr.. Editor, disposeso Of every item
Of the alleged errors on my part, which
you will observe are no errors ct all with
the possible exception Of the last item).
In regard to the absolute truth Of my
statements above made, II any taxpayer
Of Yakima county democrat or republi-
CAM will call ct the auditors Office can

A Fish story.

Col. Sim, Of the Park theatre, is tell

says-and he never smiles when he says
it-that he was yachting and bluefshing
off Fire Island, and that big ten pound
bluefish ran away with his hook and
squid, and that, although there were
several hooks aboard, there were no more
squids; that he wrenched off the silver
handle Of a handsome umbrella that had
been presented to him the winter before
by his son Walter, and running the hook
through it used it for a squid.

Too Thoughtful.

In a tiny seaport village there was in
stalled as postmaster, not long ago, a
man whom everybody had always looked
upon as quiet, well meaning person,
who minded his own affairs. Whether
his elevation to Office changed his nature,
or only served to develop trait of char
acter which had long been waiting a
chance to display itself, no one knows;
but the fact remains that curiosity, of a
most intense and persistent kind. seemed
to take possession of him from the very
day he assumed his new position.
Nobody could accuse him of holding
letters up to the light to decipher their
contents, or Of reading postal cards, be-
cause he was never seen doing such
things; but in what other way he could
have acquired his knowledge of peoples
private affairs it was certainly difficult
to imagine
A lady in the village was anxious to
have message reach friend on GER
tain day by tie boat which took the
mail to neighboring town, and hastily
writing a few lines on postal she
signed simply her initial and slipped the
card with several letters into the box.
The next night when she went for her
mail the postmaster handed her back the
postal.
