THE AUDITORS STATEMENT.

The act of April 10Th, 1884, requir-
ing the commissioners to publish "a
full and accurate statement of all re-
ceiptsand expenditures of the proceed
ing year." specifies among the items
which it shall embrace, "the repairs
of old or the erection of new bridges
\, together with such other items
as may have a tendency to convey
general information of the transac-
tions of the preceding year" The
statement, as published this year,
Jumps the expenditures under the
heads "bridge building' and "bridge
REPAIRS" Does this give the peo-
pie general information as to the cost
of the several bridges built, or the re-
pairs made on number of different
bridges in the county, and is it a
compliance with either the letter or
spirit of the act? Is not the public
interested in knowing the individual
cost of each bridge erected and the
amount of money expended in re-
pairs on each old bridge by items?
What definite information do the
the figures appended to bridge build
ing or bridge repairs convey to the
mind, if it is not known how many
new bridges were erected or old ones
repaired? Surely the act does not
contemplate any such Jumping man
ner of stating items which amount tc
thousands of dollars. And yet the
taxpayers who foot the bills are pay
ing for publication of such informa-
tion, which does not inform. The
Auditors next year, if they do theil
duty to the people, will reject a bill
for printing a statementno inaccord
ance with the act. Then, too, where
is the authority for printing the GER
tifcate of the Auditors append
ed? Had that been left off and the
bridge building and repairs properly
itemized the statement would MOI
have occupied more space than now
and then the people would have beer
paying for printing what is authoriz
ed and not paying for unauthorized
matter, and that which neither con
tains, or conveys, general informa
tiOn.

There is a marked reduction in
the importation of liquors into Cuba,
Puerto Rico, and the Philippines
since their transfer to the control of
the United States. In former years
the importation of wines from
Spain alone ranged above SO, 900, 900
per annum and the total importa-
ton of wine and spirits into the
three Spanish colonies in question
ranged from 81, 600, 600 to So, 600, O0C
per annum. On the other hand the
total expectation of spirits of all
kinds from the United States t.
these islands during the calender
year 1899 was about 81 $50, 900,
while the amounts from other parts
of the world were oorrespondingly
small.

1t is becoming entirely apparent
that the "anti-imperialist" move
ment, as pursued by the Democrats
is not based on any ideas of a sup
erior sense of right and justice or
any humanitarian desire to see II

semi barbarous people, but is solely
a desire of Democratic leaders tc

The anti-imperialists, who have
been shuddering at the proposed
oppression of the Filipinos by the
Administration, are considerably
embarrassed at the recent speech OF
President Schurman at Chicago.
AS one of the Philippine Commission
he pointed out the plan of govern
ment for the islands which the
Commission has recommended, an,
to carry out which the President is
to appoint another Commission, fol
lows closely the lines of jefferson S
plan for the government of the
Louisiana purchase. 1t will hardly
be claimed by the antis that the in.
habitants of the Louisiana country
were less fit for self-government
than the Filipinos to-day.

HUNTER ON TRIAL
Former Auditor of A. & w. P. Before
 the Courts

Atlanta, April 23.-Thomas J. Hunter, we'll known as a society and clubman, and formerly auditor of the Atlanta & West Point railroad, was placed on trial in the superior court today on charge of em- bezzling the funds of the company.
 The indictment on which he is being tried charges that together with Albert Howell, former union ticket agent at the Atlanta depot, he embedded $30,000 of the company's money. Hunter is alleged to have received between $12,000 and s13,000 as his share of the funds. Hunter was brought here a few weeks ago from Mo- rocco, where he started just before any shortage was discovered. He entered a plea of not guilty when the case was called.
