FRANCE does not propose to throw
open her doors to foreign artisans and
tax is proposed upon all foreigners
who come into the country plying
their trade. This tax assumes the
form of license which each foreign
artisan must receive before he can go
to work and it is made an offense pun
ishable by fine to hire such artisans
unless they show their license. This
is practical protection. 1t is pro
lection OF the native workman against
his foreign brother.

THE King bee of the mound build
ers" hives has been exhumed at Chill
licothe, Ohio. The Chillic0the
mounds have always excited great
interest among archHologists, and
explorations have unearthed much
that throws light upon the domestic
concerns and warlike weapons of that
mysterious people, the mound build
ers. A recent find in O mound on the
HopewelI farm is the most important
yet brought to the light. The excava-
tors unearthed, at q depth OF fourteen
feet from the crest of the mound,
skeleton encased In complete copper
armor. The skeleton was massive, the
mouth filed with genuine pearls large
ly decsyed, while necklace OF BEARS
teeth, studded with pearls, encircled
the neck. A smaller skeleton that of
a female, was found by his side. 1t
Is estimated that the skeletons have
been in the ground for at least 600
years The excavators think that
they have found the king of the
mound builders, as no other skeleton
found so far bears any proportion to
this in the richness of his burial sur
rOundipgs.

ur Committee must again here repeat the
recommendations so often made in the Council
that as formerly, all public work be put up for
licltation. as the Committee considers the prin-
ciple at present followed to be unsatisfactory,
in consequence of the work being executed by
the Inspector.
When the post of Inspector of Buildings be
abolished, a saving of SG92 can be effected.
The post as surveyor, which now is combined
with that of Building Inspector, the Committee
considers could be filled by a competent man
in consideration Of the fees a|ccruing from the
Office, and which in the opinion of the Com-
mittee are not less than S5O0-SGo0 pa.
D2GD5 judiciary and Police Department
and Military Department,
The Committee proposes an entire reorgani-
sation Of the departments on the principle
proposed in the hrreunto annexed Draft Of
Ordinance abolishing the Military and Police
Forces in st. Croix, and in lieu thereof estab-
fishing a Constabulaly force in said Island,
which Draft some years ago was introduced in
the Colonial Council, but owing to the Govern
ment disputing the competency of the Council
to pass Ordinances relating to the adjustment
of the Military, was not discussed.
The Committee considers that the reorgani-
sation i'll conformity with these principles
would be effected without any danger of less
ening the security for the maintenance of good
order and safety of property at an annual
cost Of about 2 5000; and as the Military

Your committee, in conformity with former
proposals from Committees appointed by the
Council, must express as its opinion, that one
Inspector Of Customs for the whole Island is
quite sufficient for the cffcctual performance Of
the duties deyolving on the Inspectors, which
Of course are Of less responsibilities than of
former Yeas when our imports and exports
where far in excess Of what they now have de-
creased to; and your Committee therefore now
recommends the adjustment Of the Office of
one Inspector Of Customs. Your Committee,
also seeing the difficulty which the Inspectors
supervision and consequent visits to the Gus.
tom houses of the different towns would create
in regard to the collections Of duties and other
fees, would suggest that the Brokers in Chris
tianstcd and Frederiksted be charged with the
collection Of all duties and other dues payable
at the respective { ustoluhouses and thereupon
to pay same to the Treasury direct as they now
pay such amounts as are collected by them
to the Inspector; in consequence Of this ar
rangement the Brokers would Of course have
to furnish m security to the Government as
at present is furnished by the Inspectors. In
consideration of the security thus to be furnish
ed and in order to better enable the Brokers
to collect the Customs revenues, it is proposed
to make the use of the Brokers compulsory on
the Public, instead of at present optional,
which in the Committee's opinion will be an
advantage to the Brokers, and though hardly a
large, yet an increased income to them, while
at the same time no p%erceptible burthen would
thereby be laid on the public, who with but
few exceptions now employ the Brokers.
By the acceptance of this proposal an
amount Of $500 would be saved.
Furthermore the Committee considers that
the post of writer in the Office at Christiansted
might be dispensed with, as the Committee is
of the opinion that any extra writing required
may easily be done by one of the tidewaiters
seeing that the duties Of these are insufficient
to occupy their time, and it is only owing to
the fact that occasions will occur where the
services of the ~tidewaiters are required stimuli
toneously, that the committee %refrains from
recommending the entire abolition of the post of
one tidewaiter in each town. By the arrange
ment recommended an annual saving of S240
would be effected
Finally, the Committee considers the mes
sengers at the Customhouses in both towns un-
necessary, as the men attending the scales in
the weigh Office can attendto these duties, and
in consequence it is proposed to effect a saving
in this item of $196.
The recommendations of the Committee shew
consequently a total saving in the CustomhOuse
Department Of S 1885.

siders that a total ret saving on these Items
of about S2S, goo could be effected.

D11. The Sanitary DEPARTING,

The Committee considers a driver at the
Asylum for lepers superfuous aud would
suggest that one of the most active and re-
liable of the lepers be charged with the duties
of the driver, which, in consideration of the
close proximity of the Asylum to the Jail,
can safely be done, seeing that the Inspector
of the Jail, under whose charge is also the
Asylum for Lepers, can easily, with the as.
s~istance of the Employees at the Jail, super
wise the said Asylum.
Through this a saving in the amount post
ed under Money Bill XIII, No 5, of $144 will
be effected.
With regard to the charges for medicine
under this and other Money Bills, the Com
suggest that such medicines as are used in
large quantities, for instance castor oil, salts,
