We have examined the financial state-
ments of quite a number of counties, and
find few that make as gratifying an ex.
hibit for the taxpayers as does that by
the statement of the present board of
commissioners of our county. The ex-
penditures have teen greatly curtailed ;
the indebtedness reduced to a large ex-
tent, and those old sores, the outstand-
ing taxes, in a large measure collected.
With a few years more of such work
Centre county will be entirely free from
debt and the county tax a mere nominal
sum to defray current expenses. We can
truly say to the Commissioners, Well
done.

A gigantic stealing of public lands
has lately been exposed. The Secretary
of the Interior sent to the Senate in re-
sponse to a resolution of that body call-
ing for information on the subject of the
unauthorized fencing in of the public
lands, a communication from Mr. Harri-
son, Acting Commissioner of the Gener-
al Land Office, inclosing copies of the
principal reports and correspondence on
file in that office relating to the subject.
In his letter of transmittal the Acting
Commissioner says he is satisfied from
the information he has received that the
practice of illegally enclosing the public
lands is extensive throughout the grazing
regions, and that many millions of acres
are thus inclosed, and are now being so
inclosed to the exclusion of the stock of
all others than the fence owners, and the
prevention of settlements and the ob-
struction of public travel.
Among the companies and persons re-
ported as having “immense” and “very
large” areas indorsed but specific quanti-
ties not mentioned are the Dubuque,
Amarron and Renello cattle companies of
New Mexico; the Carlisle cattle com-
pany in Colorado; the Marquis de
Moraies in Dakota; the Wyoming cat-
tle company (Scotch) in Wyoming ; the
Rankin livestock company in Nebraska.
Several new companies and persons liv-
ing in Montana and elsewhere are men-
tioned as having enclosures with no da~
ta.

A TERRIBLE TALE.

Springer investigation. Those who are
supposed to have inside information re-
lating to the future work of this commit-
tee have said lately that there was a
scandal pending that would overshadow
the celebrated Belknap case and would
be perhaps great enough to divert theat-
tention of the House Democrats from
further talk about tariff agitation. Inves-
tigation of the basis of this talk has re-
vealed the fact that Dorsey has written a
number of letters to Springer in which
he outlined what he expects to prove
when he is summoned as a witness, Itis
not probable that Dorsey will reach the
committee-room before the last of April,
Outside of the principal point of his
testimony he charges two very specific
things: First, that he can prove beyond
question that $25,000 was paid to a Re-
publican member of Congress for servi-
ces rendered a certain wealthy ring of
Star-route contractors. The name of the
Republican member of Congress will not
be given until Dorsey makes his appear.
ance on the witness stand. Second, Dor.
sey says he can prove beyond question
that Sanderson, one of the Star route
contractors who escaped prosecution, has
said to several gentlemen in the West
that he had paid $35,000 to George Bliss
for immunity. - Dorsey does not say that
he can prove the payment, but merely
that he can prove that Sanderson has
told his immediate friends that it cost
him that amount to escape. This, taken
with the proof that will be shortly pre-
sented by Saulsbury's story of what it
cost him to escape, will be supplemented
by calling both Sanderson and Sauls
bury.
It is also said that certain peculiar re-
lations between the late “Jim” Bosler
and the Attorney-General will afford a
subject for interesting developments,
But the main event of the investigation
will be the production of the evidence of
an agreement made in the campaign of
1880 whereby Stanley Matthews’ appoint-
ment to the Supreme Court was pledged
as the security for the subscription of
$300,000 by certain railroad magnates, to
be used in the carrying of the State of In-
diana for Garfield. There has been a
great deal of talk about this agreement,

few minutes last night, cut her baby's
