AN EXPENSIVE OFFICIAL LUxuR7

AN EARENSlNE OFFICIAL LUXURY.
No more interesting public document
has been published for a long time past
than the financial statement of this
county for the fiscal year ending Dec.
81, 1900. County Auditor Johnson may
well be forgiven the offense charged
him by the public examiner Of failing to
hire hall when giving the public the
benefit not only of his official knowledge
but of his opinions as to what does and
what does not constitute county assets,
as embodied in the introduction to the
interesting publication.
The document reveals whole lot con-
corning the reforming tendencies of the
Republican brethren. with which the
tax-paying public should be made ia
miliar and which they will no doubt
learn to appreciate in time.
One of the many interesting features
of that report has reference to the af-
fairs of the abstract office 1t contains
one statement of the receipts and an
other of the expenditures of that office
during the year 1900. The receipts for
each month are given; but not for the
entire year The account of those re-
ceipts ends Dec. Is. If there were any
moneys received in the abstract clerk s
Office between Dec. Is and 81, they are
not included in this report. The amount
of course, would not be great since the
monthly receipts vary from $102S5 in
total amount from Jan. 1 to Dec. Is is
81, 1876. so. That trivial sum represent all
that the taxpayers Of this county re-
ceived from the abstract Office during
the year 1900,
There is another column of figures re-
lating to this office in the same docu-
ment. 1t is statement of the disburse-
ments for the year. It represents all the
money paid by the county for the MAIN
tenance of the office It amounts to
S., 72o,O3. 1t includes $4,000 year for the
$780, one at $780, and. one at $40 per an
mum. These salaries do not represent all
the expenditures made in the abstract
clerks Office. All the requirements as to
stationery, rent etc., are supplied by the
county.
This, for an Office which maintains a
sign that the public must individually
pay for all information furnished by it's
officials, must be regarded as no mean
annual total of expense.
The o b is anxious to see the most
rational system of land records estab-
lished In this state. To that end it urges
the adoption of the Torrens system of
land transfers. In this county the exist
ing system is burdened, as it is nowhere
else, with an additional official appendage
OF an abstract Office, a sort of fifth
wheel in the local official machine for
registering land records. and one which
has no place in the state outside this
county. In order to show the public
what they are paying for, and what they
are getting We call public attention to
the figures given.
The subject is one which would arrest

A HITCH in THE PROCEEDINGS.

China has refused to sign the conven-
ton with Russia, giving the latter practi-
cal control Of Manchuria. This refusal
was induced by protests coming from
both the United States and England.
These powers as well as Japan and pre-
sumably Germany, took the position that
until the present difficulties in which all
the powers are interested, in China, are
settled, the latter must not enter into any
treaty or agreement which will in any
way cripple her revenues or render her
less able to discharge the money demands
that will be made upon her by the pow
ers. Russia has an undoubted right to
demand of China a guaranty of protec-
ton for the vast railroad and CONNER
cial interests in Manchuria This, we all
know, cannot be given by China without
permitting the occupation of Manchuria
by Russian troops, which means a Rus
occupation.
The removal of McLeavy Brown from
the Office Of custom manager of Korea
brought the matter to a climax This
movement pointed to the fact that Rus
sia aimed, not only at Manchuria, but
was about to make another attempt to
control the customs and consequently the
destinies of Korea. 1t looks now as If
Russia would find it convenient to allow
the settlement of the Manchurian matter
to bide its time and come up with the
general settlement of China with the
powers. go
This stand taken by China, backed by
England, United States and Germany,
will have tendency to dissipate the war
cloud which for the last few days has
been hanging low over Japan and Rus
STA.
With the Manchurian matter out of the
way, it is hoped that the powers will
speedily agree to submit the question of
Chinese indemnity to the high court of
nations at The Hague. This delay is
costing the commercial nations more than
the original Boxer rebellion.

WI Ting Fang, the Chinese minister at

to be wonderful man. No foreign gov

more generally for use. He stands third

the United States, wheat and cotton only
exceeding him in that respect, and from
this fact alone one would think that he is
entitled to the respect and attention
which his worth deserves. His meat is
now among the highest priced in the mar
