Our attention has been called to

the expenditures Of money by the
county commissioners, during the
year 1896, for bridge and road pur-
poses, the total amount of which OK
ccedcd $40, 100000, and we believe
that this amount is unreasonable.
taking into consideration the hard
times vast majority Of the tax
payers Of this county are now cxpcr-
icncing,
We should also recommend to the
county commissioners for their con-
sidcration that the preparing Of plans
for bridge work and making csti-
mates thereon. and the supervision
Of any considerable work be left to
the county surveyor, and done under
his supervision, and we do not think
it wise to eXpcnd any large sums Of
money for road and bridge work at
the present time.
We have made a careful cxamna-
tion Of the manner in which tho
several officers Of the county conduct
their business, and we believe that
the entire force arc using their best
efforts to conduct the same in a
proper manner, and VIC desire tc
commend them upon the neat con.
dition and appearance Of their re,
spcctivc offices.
We would recommend to the com
missioncrs that in view OF the fact
that the work in the Offices Of count,
clerk and the treasurer is becoming
Of more Importance. and that tlit
records of these Offices arc a"cumllat
ing to q great extent that it would
be advisable for them to make some
arrangement whereby more room
could be secured.
We arc not satisfied with the man
ncr in which the affairs Of the publi'
administrators office arc carried on a
il occurs that his records are no
properly kept, and we would sugges
l>'ut if unable to properly keep th
accounts Of his office, that tlc sccur

petcnt to do SO.

SljlCIDE IN OXFORD.

Woodbury. l.. Stanton, who lived at
the upper end of Fore Street in Oxford,
about two miles from South Paris and
the same distance from Norway, hung
himself, Tuesday night at about IL
O'Clock. Mr.. Stanton had been great
sufferer for two months with neuralgia.
The pain had been so severe and so onre-
uniting that it no doubt drove nun &c
this terrible deed. Mr.. Stanton was NOR.
than 20 years of age. He has been one OF
the most successful farmers In this sec.
ton. has been trustee OF the Oxford
County Agricultural Society and ha:
always been an extensive exhibitor al
the fairs of the society. For few year;
he has lived with his son, Charles r.
on the old homestead farm on Fore
| Street.

Cleveland is expected to transmit to Con-
eress soon special message ON the
Nicaraguan Canal project. with the re,
port Of the commission which examiner
the route. . a..
The leading consideration which the
Chief Executive has given to TINS matter
is regarded as an indication by many
that he is carefully weighing the concur
sions made by the Ludlow Commission III
it's report, which were exclusively an-
nounced IN the Heriad several weeks ago
Ia his special message the President, IL
is thought, may touch upon the dues'ion
whether or not IL would be wise LOT tHe
Government TO take hold OF the PROJECT
In any event. those in the city VINO are
interested I'm the commissions report ne
fie,e that n. will make some suggestions
as TO whether or not Congress should
adopt the recommendation made by the
commission. that expert engineers be ap-
nointed 10 make a thorough examination
OF the whole plan so that the ieasioili'y
OF the subject can be definitely ascer-
tanned
inc officials are somewhat disturbed
over information which has reached
Washington from Nicaragua TO the erect
that a Mr. Morgan. an Englishmah VINO
has control of the railways or NICARAGUA
IS attempting 10 secure control OF the
canal project
It is also stated on good authority that
the Nicsraguan Government Is cohsluer-
ina the advisability of revoking the chaf-
ter granted 10 the Nicaraguan Canal
nj and turn
ing tho enterprise over TO the tnglsh
syndicate headed by Mr.. Morgan. The
authorities will promptly squelch any
such action by the Nicaraguan Govern
ment. and will offer strenuous objections
10 any attempt Of President Ielayas ad-
mioistration 10 annul the concession.
CODY Of book on the Nicaraguan
Canal. entitled "rhe Key OF the Pacific
written by Archibald Ross Colquhon, an
ENGLISH civil engineer, has just reached
Washington. Mr. Colquhon preceded the
Nicararuan Canal Commission In its sur
yey. going over the route few months
before IT,
AIR Colquhon believes the project TO be
thoroughly feasible, thus differing from
the Ludlow Committee. which stated that
the feasibility Of the enterprise could only
b. determined by a more exhaustive sur
vev.
Nr. Colquhon believes that the only
serious difficulties are the Ochoa dam,
the Great Divide and Greytown Hsrbor,
! none Of which. however ne deems insur-
mountable. or these the Gyeytown Har-
/ Dor is in his opinion. the weakest part OF
/ the pan.
Mr. Colquhon does not believe that the
| canal can Dee carried through as a private
| undertaking. tie declares that the pro-
/ iect must be constructed under some
! strong government. and without doubt
/ he says the Government must be the
