JAMES F. CHARLESWORTH.
February 3rd, 1894

The county coroner is an independent
official responsible to the people and not
to the commissioners. His fees are fixed
by law. 1t is for him and not the com
misSiOnerS to determine whether an in
quest should be held His reports of in
quests are made to the clerk of the court
of common pleas and his bills of costs
certified by that official to the auditors
office. If it appeared that he had held
an inquest not in the bona tide discharge
of official duty, but as a fraudulent pre-
text for fees, the commissioners might
be authorized to diSallow his bill. That
it should so appear is virtually an impOs-
sibility 1t is but fair to my colleagues
to say that they had no opportunity to
consider these suggestions, for the reason
that while had full knowledge of this
part of their report. gave it no thought
until after it was filed.
In the latter part of the report of the
majority relating to the meetings and pay
of the commissioners there is matter that
may convey wrong impressions as to the
conduct of those officials. While the
business of the board must be done at
its office at the county seat, our statutes
recognize, and necessity demands, that
the board may go and may meet else
where to inspect, to investigate to super
wise and to learn The multitude and
variety of questions which can be prop
erly determined only on view of the
locality, justities the practice of taking
trips of the kind referred to. Such "a
practice may of course be abused and so
far as the report may be interpreted, as
a caution against such danger it is not
now and never can be ill-timed. There
are phrases in the report such as, "a
strong suspicion of jObbery," etc, that
understand to be intended to characterize
the practice rather than the men The
legitimate duties of a board of com
missiOners in such county as this, how
ever, are so various and perplexing that |
think that any possibility of misunder-
standing ought, in spirit of fairness. to
he avoided. therefore desire to state
that so far as l am advised. no fact OF
information has come to the knowledge
of the committee that impeaches the in
tegrity of any member of the board or
raises any, the slightest suspicion thereof
There are no doubt expressions in the
report, the exact wording of which might
be a matter of individual Judgment
am 1ng the members of the committee
but, subject to the qualifications which
have heretofore stated. believe the rec
concentrations and criticisms of the
majority are essentially sound and Just.
and hereby concur in the same
e. l.. WEEMS.

THE usual treatment of catarrh is very
unsatisfactory, as thousands can testify.
Proper local treatment is positively nee
essary to success, bnt many, if not most
of the remedies in general use afford
temporary relief. A cure certainly can
not be expected from snutfS, powders,
douches and washes. Ely's Cream
Balm, which is so highly commended,
is a remedy which combines the i'm
portant requisites of qnick action,
specific curative powder, with perfect
safety and pleasantness to the patient
