We DO the Shipping.

Tacoma has already established her
self as the shipping center of the Pa
cific northwest with q firmness that
will never be shaken, and her steady
and rapid growth shows that she is 90
ing after the banner as the leader in
Pacific coast commerce in a manner
that must ultimately bring success.
Captain ]. B. Cliff, harbormaster of
this port, has completed an annual re-
port showing the amount of business
done during the year ending Oct 31st,
and shows by comparison with figures
for ten months of last year a. most
gratifying increase, which is all the
more satisfactory when the depressed
conditions of commerce and finance
prevailing during the period covered
are taken into consideration.
This report shows that through the
port of Tacoma, S., 1865 Plaza worth of
wheat, flour, lumber, coal and salmon
sought a market in the ports of the
world, requiring 40 vessels, with $780,
757 registered tonnage, to export
them. OF wheat, there were sent
abroad 1885, 9S bushels, valued 49,
SO7 ZOO; flour, 1T ,O49 barrels, valued
at $767 ,257 .4S; coal, 2S2. 232 long tons,
valued at SOL ,575.
In considering these figures it is we'll
to remember that they only include
cargo exports. and their amount would
be largely augmented by considering
the traffic done by the Alas. a., Orien-
tai and San Francisco steamers, the
bullion shipments from the Tacoma
smelter alone footing up total of
half million dollars.
Our maritime supremacy is clearly
shown in the statement that the total
tonnage of ocean-going vessels entering
Puget Sound during the period covered
was l,O24, 4S5, of which 536,757 tons
came to Tacoma.-West Coast Trade.

To Investigate County Auditors.

We have letter from an esteemed
correspondent, who speaks from a
practical knowledge of public business,
warmly complimenting The Telegraph
for the position it has taken in regard
to the better auditing of public ac
counts and a closer supervision by the
public of the manner in which public
officials discharge their duties. He
expresses hope that the press will
unite in urging these matters upon
the public. The letter is not intended
for publication, but we publish an ex-
tract showing the views of a practical
man on the question of auditing coun-
ty accounts. He says:
81 would suggest state Office be Gre
ated termed public examiner or some
similar name, whose duty would be to
have adopted uniform system of
keeping accounts over the entire state,
more particularly better system of
checking between treasurer and audi
tor 1 would farther define the duties
of such officer that he or deputy must
visit each county officially at least
twice year and make an examination
of both treasurers' and auditors books.
BY creating such an Office it would
simplify public accounts and officials
would not be subjected to the contin-
ual annoyance of being compelled to
supply themselves with new forms ev-
cry two years for the taxpayers to pay
and then not used. This may be
treading on the toes of blank book and
stationery houses, but any one seeing
the great number of unused books in
the different county Offices would not
blame the populists for having a
grievance"
We are glad to have practical sug-
gestion of this kind, even if on examin-
alton it might appear to be open to
objection. At present we do not know
that it is. Under the national bank
system bank inspectors are appointed
who each cover very considerable ex-
tents OF territory and have supervision
OF number of banks. There appears
to be nothing impracticable in at
tempting to provide for an inspector
OF all the county accounts. Our cor
respondent suggests semi-annual in
spection, but it might be found posi-.
bic to have one made every three
months. This would do away with the
exporting" of county accounts and
prevent much irreguiarity. If immed-
lately after making an investigation
the officer appointed for that purpose
were required to publish a report in
some newspaper published in the coun-
ty, the taxpayers would have far bet
ter idea OF their affairs than they can
possibly have at present.-Seattle Tel
egraph.
