LOOSE BUSINESS METHODS.

The investigations CT the Jefferson
county commissioners of accounts
nave developed the fact that there is
a rather loose system ii transacting
ahe eountys business in some of its
departments in vogue
For example, the salaries of the
county Judge and road commissioner
have been drawn in advance several
hundreds of dollars If the drawing
of salaries is not criminal act it
sheelld be made one by the legislature.
The Graphic does net accuse Judge
Nartin or Road Commissioner Bridges
with any intent to defraud the county,
and does not believe that either in
tended to defraud the county by draw
ing their salaries in advance. but it
is thing which should not be per-
mitted by the law, because it is too
hazard 4s to the interests of the tax
payers. II an officer has the right
10 draw his salary in advance what
y t1ere to keep him. on the day he
takes the oath and assumes the duties
IF his official position, from draw
ms his salary fc.T the entire term
Tor which he was elected? # an of
4icer should draw his salary for
fuh term on the day he assumes the
duties OF his office and should die the
next day or soon thereafter. it is an
easy matter to see wherein the coun-
" would be in a position to lose the
oVerdraWn salary. If one salaried
officer may eWerdraw his salary for
a fnll term on the day he goes into
office, all the salaried officers and
employees Ct the county may do the
same thing and it requires no argu-
ment to convince any sane man that
such a policy of doing business is
Ico dangerous to be tolerated and if
there is no law to stop it, the next
legislature should enact a law to meet

Men Who Inherit Kinddoms.

Only seven sovereigns Of Europe
have heirs of their own body to sue
eeed them. The emperor CT Austria,
the king Of the Belgians and the king
of Roumania will be succeeded by
nepheWs, the emperor of Russia and
the sultan Of Turkey by brothers, and
the presumptiye successor to the king
Of Italy's heir is his cousin, the duke
of Aosta, while the succession to the
thrones Of the Netherlands and Servia
may be regarded as in abeyance at
present. But for the Salic law, how
ever, the crowns Of Russia, Austria
Italy and Belgium would pass to
direct descendants of the present
ruler. In th7 case of Turkey the sue

BACK SEAT FOR PROSPERITY.

The news from Washington all goes
to show thar the leaders of both poll
ticaI parties realize that the coal
strike has become an intensely dis
piriting factor in the congressional
campaign. It has made the people
of some sections sullenly indignant
and revengeful It has caused the
people OF other sections to remain
aloof from political assemblages and
ignore the efforts of candidates for
seats in congress to engage their at
tention Thirty days ago the mana
gers of the Republican congressional
campaign were in state of eIation
oyec the prospects OF a brilliant and
Overwhelming victory Today they are
facing grimly what they fear may be
an overwhelming defeat. They do not
Hike t. admit it. but they cannot hide
from themselves the disaster which
is Threatening their party.
Their disquietude is,not relieved by
the faer that the coal strike has sery-
esl to call public attention TO condi-
tia.ns that have long been ripening.
The country is feeling the effect OF

the existing situation in that state by
heart. has as much as admitted that
the strike is threatening the ascend

and that Judge Pennypacker's pros

day the strike continues.
Thecondltioas in these eastern states
