We copy the annexed article from
the Sullivan Gazette. We are glad
that influential paper has awakened
to the importance of curtailing the
cNtravagent expenditure of money
in our county affairs. There is a
great responsibility on grand juries
in recommending county bridges and
expenses around the court house Of
fees and public grounds. All waste
ful expenditures should be stopped.
"The finances of Sullivan County
present rather gloomy aspect.
This is caused principally by the
grand juries recommending altogether
too many county bridges. Several
thousand dollars have been added to
the county indebtedness each year
Of late by the building of county
bridges. The Gazette is reliably in
formed that the receipts of the coun-
ty just about pays the interest on the
Indebtedness and running expenses
as the county has been run for the
last few years.
The present board of commission
ers have endeavored to reduce the
Indebtedness but the grand .juries
seem to have craze to grant new
county bridges in various sections of
the county, causing several thousand
dollars to be added to the expenses
each year, which could, and ought
to be borne by the several town
ships and boroughs themselves.
These bridges cost the county much
more to build and maintain than it
would the districts in which they are
located.
The grand juries of Sullivan coun-
ty for number of years have been
very eXtravagent in recommending
the expenditure of money and il
they do not stop in their mad ca
reer they will sink the county hope
lessly in debit.

The County Auditors report at the
beginning of the present year show
ell over three thousand dollars due
to the county from collectors of
former years. How much of this
has been collected we do not know,
but we hear there is shortage of
county money in the treasury, and
talk of borrowing money to pay the
jurors at December term. To bor-
row money and leave just dues un-
collected would be poor business
management, but more than that
the commissioners have no right to
increase the county debt without a
vote of the people.
In the case of Pike county VS.
Rowland 94 p. S. r. page 24s it was
decided by the Supreme Court that
"the municipal authorities may in
crease the debt from time to time
until two per centum has been add
ed, provided the original debt, with
the increase does not exceed seven
per centum. After the two per cent
um has been added there can be no
further increase without the vote of
the people," The county debt of
this county already largely exceeds
two per centum of the valuation.
With entire good will to the COM
missioners we remind them that if
they contract an unconstitutional
debt the County Auditors may sur
charge them with it. If the audi
tors should fail to do so, tax payers
may appeal and have it adjudicated
by the court.

The Herald cannot let the result
of the late election rest. 1t publish
ed another article last week reitera-
ting the stale slang about trading
votes. The editor vents his spite as
usual on the Doctor and Vincent,
and logically inculpates Lee Gavitt.
He walls for the defeat of Bird.
Oh the pity of it! such a deserving
Republican-such good man, to be
defeated by Lee Gavitt. Lee Cav
lit or his friends traded off E. G.
Rogers and the Doctor and Vincent
traded off Bird. It is not the News
Item that says this, it is the Herald.
The News Item of the 18th demon
strated by citations from the elect
ion returns that there is no truth in
these allegations, but Scouten still
repeats them. He acts upon the evil
maxim that lie we'll stuck to is as
effective as the truth.
The Herald's hypocritical, after
election, praises of Mr.. Bird are not
intended to benefit him, and he owes
it no thanks. During the campaign
the News Item did full justice to
Mr.. Birds high standing in the
county as man of integrity and
ability; and his honorable conduct
during the campaign, and since, has
raised him in the public estimation.
Last weeks Herald repeats the
charge. We shall not repeat our
answer, fora liar can repeat his
charge indefinitely.

No Peace without Christ.

A life without Christ is life with
out peace. Without him it is possible
to have excitement, pleasure, gratified
passions, success, accomplished hopes.
But peace, never. That you cannot
have until you so to him. The Christ
less heart is like the sea that cannot
rest. There is no peace for it. But in
Christ you can get it for the asking.
The chastisement of our peace was
upon him. For our sakes he died upon
the cross, so making peace. Trust him
and the God of peace will fill you with
all joy and peace in believing. Then
bow your wills in obedience to his COM
mands, and so your peace shall be as

THE OLEOMlRGERINE BILL PASSED.

The House spent the entire morning
On the general appropriation bill and
ordered it to it's shird reading. 1t was
the Quickest and the best schedule that
an appropriation bill has ever made,
and Chairman Wilson and his commit
tee, except the absent member, agreed
upon every item, and in that way the
bill received decided impetus, The
usual custom. year after year, has
been to fight all along the line. Salary

came the appropriation for Winthrop;
Owing to the increased attendance ano
the engagements Winthrop needed
more money this year, and the com

The House Passes the Anti Trust
lava Decisive Vote in it's
Favor.

Columbia, Feb. 1.-The house Of
representatives did a good days work
given second reading as was the bill
to prevent the formation of trusts.
The features in the action on the road
bill were keeping the minimum age
limit of those subject to road duty at
18 years. Also the adoption of sections
leaving at the discretion of the county
commissioners the number of days and
the amount of commutation tax. This
will evaded or meet any suspicion OF
unconstitutionality.
The johnson antitrust bill passed
second reading by nearly a two-thirds
majority of all of the members of the
house. There was lot Of play which
appeared to be flibuster proceedings,
but the bill was put through with a
flourish although Speaker Stevenson
held the house down for Is minutes
over the usual time for adjournmsent
in order that there may be no more
complaint of knocking" this bill in
