ROSE NOMENCLATURE
The Fearful Names of some Impor,eJ

The Fearful Names of Some Imported
Varieties.
Some day, too. we may have a roren.
clature committee. who will meet the
French roses at the portals of our eoun-
try and rechristen them with a pro-
nouncable name byore presenting
them. for which we all most devoutly
thank them in advance. A rose by any
other name than "Alademoiselle Suzanne
Marie de Rodocannachi" would smell
just as sweet and we would not miss
our train trying to tell cur neiehbor
what it is called. 1t is to be hoped that
the young lady changed her name and
that 1t was shorter one. Provision
should be made in such n case for n
like change in the name of the rose.
The man who called rose "Grande
Duchesse Heritiere Marie Anne de Lux
embourg' had no consideration for the
poor gardener or fsrist who would have
TO write IL on four+nch label with
stump of pencil. They don't write
IL. They simply say the rose is no GOOD:
il is relegated to obscurity and so thew
have their revenge. 1t is pity that the
French raisers cannot see the absurdity
OF calling roses such long names and
above all Of calling them after every
member of family, resulting in un.
limited confusion.

The fish law about which SO much
fuss is being made of late, whereby a
poor sinner living along the rapids oi
the Maumee river dare not dip few
fish out of the water, is largely hum
bug. 1t is claimed by the big fish
dealers that fishing in the river de-
stroys the fish that come up the stream
during the spawning season, but these
came wholesale dealers, don't say any
thing about the miles OF pound nets
that fill the mouth of the river and
makes it almost impossible for fish to
get past them in its efforts to come up
the river. Where one fish is destroyed
by the up-riyer fisherman Thousand
are killed by the pound nets. The law
is detective in tho fact that it prob
ibets the destruction of fish where the
Eeast harm is done.

That Annual Statement.

Mr.. looked for annual
statement that appeared in your col
umns last week, signed by two of our
councilmen, as d Finance Committee
was splendid specimen OF that
specious kind OF camgaign document
something similar to the congressional
speeches, never delivered, but printed,
franked and freely distributed as
campaign document, at the expense of
someone else. What delicious
humor there Is in a Finance Com
mittee (?) one a candidate for re-elec-
tion and the other intensely interested
in said return, patting each other on
the back, saying, "Well fix them Bill;
they will think L and you are the only
ones that know anything about
Corporation business and they will be
sure to send you back"
OF all the vain glorious, boasting,
articles 1 haye read, emanating from
the same source, the note accompany
ing the report can take the whole
bakery, and this is made more exas-
perating by knowledge OF the fact that
it is all entirely illegal. By all means
the report is necessary, but let us have
it done according as provided by our
laws. The statutes are very explicit in
the matter and 1 wish to quote parts
that bear on this matter.
SECTION 1855. Revised Statutes
City clerk to make detailed statement
of receipts and expenditures-"He
shall on or before the third Monday in
March of each year, make and enter
in the record book OF the corporation,
detailed statement OF all the receipts
and expenditures, ,"-"The number and
bonds issued and for what purpose;"
to whom paid"-" exact condition OF
funds and all liabilities to whom due. +"
SECTION 1857 provides: he shall
cause copy of said detailed statement.
which shall be approved by the mayor
to be posted at the places OF holding
elections for Offices OF the Corporation
on the first Monday in April annually;
and in Corporations having population
OF oyer 1000, the clerk shall have same
published once in some newspaper pub
lished or OF general circulation in the
Corporation, at least five days prior to
the first Monday In April"
The statutes also makes the penalty
in case clerk refuses or neglects to do
this, and also exempts corporation
that publish statement in book form.
So you see this throws the making
and publishing entirely on our clerk
and finance committee can have
nothing to do with 1t, and we all know
if the matter was left entirely to our
worthy clerk, Mr.. Franey, that as
ardent q democrat as he Is he would
never make campaign document out
OF simple business report. BY all
means let US have the report from
your own hands Tom, and let there be
a cessation OF reports from self con-
stituted treasury watch dogs.

Though slowly the methods pursued
by similar officials in other towns, and
are publishing reports OF their financial
transactions. In nearly every town (re-
gardiess of its population) wherever a
newspaper is published, the various
municipal boards take the public into
their confidence and show to them by
published statements, what tho receipts
and expenditures haYe been. The town
ship Trustees OF Perrysburg have
always done so. For the past five years
the Cemetery Trustees have done like
wise Lnsl year the Township School
board did The same las did the Council)
and will probably do SO again. This
week the village school board hand In
similar report. The expense of pub
lishing these reports is very small, and
In each Case the benefit derived is
many fold greater than the expense,
and The greatest criticism that can be-
offered against these publications, IL
the fact that all such reports should be
similar to That OF the Cemetery Trus-
tees-an itemlzed account. The people
are entitled to know all of the financial
transactions Of their officers.
