T", . - uc new unara o commissioners are confronted with a serious an i perplex ing question at the outstart cf their ad miniatration. i aey nnd that they will be compelled to either advance the rate of taxation from for and ooe-half to five or five and one-half ralU or isane county bonds to uie amount of from tM. 000 to . la order to meet the present indebtedn of the county. To say that the Commissioners da not relish the responsibility placed odoo them of providing for a deficit of several thousand dollars and claims afyregating tii.000 additional,; is putting it very mildly indeed, in view of the fact that tbe county treasury is without sufficient funds to defray the current county ex penses, and creditors are clamoring for the amounts due them. A careful perusal of the county receipts and expenditures for 1"4'J. published elsewhere ia the Herald, will disclose where the enormous sum of I73.QO0 dis appeared during the time mentioned, and will also disclose to the thoughtful reader where curtailments in expend! tares could have been safely made with out prejudice to tbe taxpayers. The report of the Auditors does not show the indebtedness cf the county for tbe simple reason tint neither the Audi tors nor Commissioners were able to ascer tain the exact amount, but Commission- ers Clerk, John R. Boose, has gone to the pains of making an approximate timate ot the county indebtedness, which all must agree is a most conservative one. Clerk Boose finds that on January L. 1"). tha ouaty was obligated to pay debts amounting to more than Sj.OO), at leaU f iXO of which were contracted by the Commissioners as late as D5ember 21, I HO!), to meet which the treasury had Cish available to the amount of JiJ7J.ii, and unavailable assets in the etiape of outstanding taxes, less commissions and exonerations, to the amount of I 6L How can the people of tbe county con done the negligence of officials in thus piling up debts without first having m w1 provisi n for their payment when due? In order to more c'.esrly illustrate the careless housekeeping which character ized the Commissioners' office during the year just close.!, it is proper that the Commissioners' report of the receipts and expenditures o' the county for the year 1 be quoted. From it we learn that oa January 2, lSyj, there was :6,JUj 28 cash in the coun ty treasury, and outstanding ttxss due and payable to tbe amount of $J07oT.T9, or total avail sole absents of 10T, against which stood a total county iadeotodness of$i;m; lewim a biin-s of truLKi in fvor of the county. On January i, 1'Jihi, this magnificent balauci tnreiher with .jO,000 a1ditional coanly funds had disappeared, and tbe county's liabilities are now greatly in excess of its available assets. The total cAinty expenditures in WW were JIX19 23 as against J7T0.iS.02 in a diiference equal to tbe astteta of the ceunty on January 2, lA'J. The taxpayers will place the blame for this uawsrranted state of ajairs where it properly belongs and will doubtless agree with us that the regime who have had control of the Commissioners' office for the past nine years were not retired any too soon for the good of the county. As said at the outstart, the present Com missioners are perplexed as to the best way out of the difficulty in which they find themselves, but they will have to grasp tbe situation courageously, and with an eye single to tbe best interests of the taxpayers. If it is absolutely necessary to raise the tax millage in order to dis charge a c unty indebtedness which they bad no band in creating, the taxpayers will absolve them from responsibility; or, if it appears that the best interests of the taxpayers can be protected by an issue of county bonds, let the bonds be ptaced at tbe lowst i ate of interest obtainable.

Holders a cm. Manager. Homo Bale fur Filipinos. Washisoto, February 2. The first volume of tbe report cf tbe Philippine Commission, which was sent to Congress by the President to-day, is signed by Pro- fewtor Schurmann. Admiral Dewey, Col onel Deuby and Professor Worcester. It strongly favors government of the Phil ippines on a plan analogous to that of a territory of the United States, with a gov ernor appointed by the President, but the people should enjoy a large measure of home rule ia lo-al affairs, and each prov ince should be substantially vested with the functions of a couuty in a territory. Tbe Filipinos can manage tbeirown town and county affairs through their own offi cers, whom they could elect with no help from American officials, except such as would be involved In control from the central government at Manila. Tbe suf frage should be restricted by educationsi or property qualifications, or both. This S7stem would necessitate a small body of American officials of great ability and in tegrity, and of patienoe and tact in deal ing with other races. Was tod. Twr. or three good parties to join me in the pun-base of l.4) acres of semi-anthracite coal land in Arkansas. Coal and laud have been thoroughly examined by me, nd this Is one of tbe chances of a life time. I will meet any persons interested and give them full particulars.
