A DEFECTIVE SYSTEM.

The report of John s. Rossell and
John Il. Dandy, who were appointed
by Judge spruance to audit the county
books. is comprehensive document
and one well worthy of careful exami-
nation and consideration. Their criti-
cism OF the system is especially severe,
and in it they say:
We regret to be compelled to report,
after a thorough study of the system
of county accounts, that it is imper-
feet and misleading. 1t was only af-
ter great labor that we were able TO
make an analysis and classification OF
the accounts that will with some do
gree Of accuracy show the application
of the county funds. We believe 1t to
be of the highest importance that
more improved methods Of accounting
be introduced in the county offices.
Here is food for thought for those
persons who frame legislative and es-
tablish systems for our county offices
The auditors are expert accountants
and their criticism should not be ig-
nored.

GENERAL WILSON'S SPEECH.
WHAT HE HAS TO SAY ABOUT
THE FUTURE OF CUBA.

W hal he HAD IL OA ADOO1
THE FUTURE OF CUBA.
A dispatch from Havana says that
the papers publish in full the speech
delivered at the Santiago celebration
banquet in Matanzas on Monday night
by General Wilson, formerly of this
city, military governor of the Ma
Clara department, but
lay particular stress upon the follow
ing excerpt:
What is to become of Cuba it is i'm
possible to say with certainty. It
would be a bold man who would un-
dertake to point out the various steps
to the final destination of the island.
But Cuba can rest assured that, having
become enmeshed in the commercial
system Of the great nation which is
her nearest neighbor, she cannot avoid
its influence any more than she can
avoid the influence of the planets,
whatever her hopes and aspirations.
After the lavish sacrifices of blood
and treasure in her behalf we must
care for her faithfully to the end. We
have stricken the shackels from her
limbs and given her liberty and inde-
pendence with an ungrudging hand
and we shall give her a blessing in the
high American way, which says: II
you give a man a dollar, give it a:
hough it were a withered leaf and you
had a whole forest of them"

In a general sense the resignation Of
Secretary OF War Alger is not a sur
prise. He is SO grossly incompetent
for the onice: the fact is so universally
recognized, and his retirement has
been so often predicted that It was ex-
pected, sooner or later. The only sur
prise is that he should resign so soon
after making positive declarations
that he did not intend TO resign. This
strengthens the belief that the McKin-
ley administration deliberately threw
its Jonah overheard, finding It impos.
sible to longer stand up against pub
lic opinion. Algerism and incompe
tency are now synonymous words. Tn,
Spanish-American war has found itl
most prominent victim on this side o
the water and disposed OF him foreve
by making him discredited publi
man, unpopular from one end of th
nation to the other, and with no earth
ly opportunity left to redeem himsel
in the public eye.

THE RATTLEsNAKE COON.
Committed Suicide, Maybe, After
stealing $1,000 Worth OF Poui-
try In Maine.

The rattlesnake coon that has robbed
more than 80 henroosts and destroyed
a thousand dollars worth of eggs and
poultry in the last three years near
East Dedham, Me-, has been caught at
last in one of Sam Houston's traps, and
the skin is now at a tannery being
cured, after which it win be made up
into fur cap. The animal began ns
adventurous career at East Dedham in
the autumn of 1897. Green corn was in
the milk at the time, and all other coons
were contented to live in the fields and
woods, without rislSing a near ap-
proach to civilization. The rattlesnake
coon was Of a different mind, and
wouldn't look at sweet corn so long as
there was a tough old rooster to be had
for the climbing. Between September
l, 1897, and January /, 1sos, it is said
that this coon destroyed $500 worth Of
poultry in East Dedham, besides maxi
ing frequent raids into Bucksport and
Otis.
In the fall Of 1898 Charles Perry, a
hunter of Bangor, introduced novelty
in coon catching. He argued that a
raccoon likes green corn better than
any other food. Therefore, when the
green crop was safe in the granaries,
he procured u dozen two-pound cans OF
green corn. Instead of removing the
contents with a can opener, he cut the
top of every can into six sections, divid-
ing it in the way a housewife cuts a
pie. Having removed nearly all the
corn, he turned down the six sharp
points of tin so as to admit a raccoon's
head, and placed his traps along the
runways where coons were known tC
travel. The plan worked well. In 0
week there were five coons running
about the woods carrying tin cans over
their heads, and inside of a month tn,
last can had fitted itself to a coon anC
was on its travels. The raccoons, being
unable, to see, wandered aimlessly
about, and most of them were shot oil
dubbed to death before winter. As
the others have never been seen, it il
probable they died of starvation.
When the rattlesnake coon was NO
identified among the slain, everybody
hoped he had perished This spring HI
came out early in March, and begar
TO make assessments on the same ole
poultry yards. After the poultry yard
gave out, he stole sucking pigs from
the barn cellars, and picked up stra,
lambs in the fields. On the mornin.
Of May 1, when the school children wen
to the woods to pick checkerberrie
and Mayflowers, and to celebrate Dew
ey's victory, they found the terror o
the town dead in one of Sam Houston
traps. As the trap had not been baite'
for two weeks the impression prevail
that the raccoon committed suicide.
An examination of the body resulte
in finding an old sleigh bell attache
TO a strap about the animals neck
tin tag on the strap contained this in
scription: Return to William A
Remick, Mariaville, Me, and get
handsome reward. ~. Y. Sun.
