NEWS NOTES.
Travelling Auditor.

Governor Blanchard is considerably
worried over the matter of appoint
ing a travelling auditor to check up
the books of the tax collectors OF
the state, as provided by the measure
passed by the last special session OF
the general assembly, and il is pos
sible that this appointment may not
be made as soon as expected. The
difficulty lies in the fact that the
general assembly created a job, and
then promptly forgot TO make any
provision for the payment OF the sal
airy or the expenses OF the officials
appointed to the job. This the law
makers have done for the past sew
ernl sessions. The omission in the
case. Of the travelling auditor Is a
serious one, for the reason that the
travelling expenses of the official will
amount to a nice round sum. If the
salary only had been omitted there
would have been no difficulty, for the
reason that the official would get his
warrant cashed by the banks, as was
done by the members of the state
board of liquidation and the judges
Of the state last year, when the legis-
lature failed to make an appropria-
ton for them, but this cannot be done
in the case of the travelling expenses
of the travelling auditor. This fail
ure on the. part of the general as
sembly may delay the appointment.

"The Russelville raid was clearly

to hinder the prosecution at Hopkins

for though their associations number
