it is easy to steal or ring watches from the
pocket. The thief gets thé watch “in one
hand, the chain in the other and gives a
short, quick jerk—the ring slips off the
watch stem, and away goes: the watch, leay-

This idea stopped

REMARKS.
a
It has come to pass that thie majority
of the board of County Auditors has fil -
ed with the annual report of that body
a rigmarole of so-called objections to
the methods of doing business in the
Commissioners’ oflice. A whole week
of the valuable time of these official
nonentities was consumed in the form-
ulation of this lyiug, slanderous and
malicious tirade »gainst the Commis-
sioners’ oflice. Political imbeciles, who
are without mind or stamina of their
own, should never be elevated to im-
portant and responsible publie posi-
tions. Furthermore, the present board
of. County Commissioners has been use-
lessly surcharged $202.09, interest on
money that was necessarily borrowed
to meet the current expenses of the
county, witheut reason or excuse for
such surcharge, and without citing any
law to sustain their reckless exergise of
the surcharging privilege. This action
will serve only to increase the expenses
of the county by litigation that will
necessarily follow to show these bump-
tious Auditors their inexcusable folly.
Public accounts are always the legiti-
mate subjects for correction and honest
investigation; but they must not be
contorted for the manufacture of polit-
{ical capital for any political faction.
But this is not all. The report of the
y Jounty Auditors held in the Prothono-
tary ’s office is in itself a mass of errors
and bunglings that would shame a
school-boy to be its unhappy author.
On page 3 of the said Auditors’ Report
the total receipts by the County Treas-
urer of State taxes for years prior to
1897 is calculated to be” $1,038.84, when
in fact the amount thereof is $1,938.64.
An error in favor of said County Treas-
urer of $899.80. On page 5 of said Au-
ditord’ Report there is an error of cal-
culation in the grand total of taxes re-
ceived by the County Treasurer
amounting to $50.03 in favor of the said
County Treasurer. On page 7 of the
aforesaid report the Auditors have
bungled the “total receipts for orders
paid,” whichis anintelligible, to say the
least. On the same page the Auditors
strike their balance thus: “Balance due
Wm. Winters, Esq., County Treasurer,
$9,047.56.” The true balance is $9,997.-
7; but this balance is not *due to Wm.
Winters, Esq., Co. Treas.,” but is due to
the county of Somerset from Wm. Win-
ters, treasurer. The apparent shortage
of $949. 81 in the credit to County Freas-
urer Winters is nevertheless liberally-
made up to that officer by placing to his
credit the entir.: balance in his hands
belonging to the county of Somerset, by
which that worthy officer would gain,
by the Auditors’ Report,the munificent
gift, of $18,095.12, if the said report were
previously correct ; but the fact is that
if this blundering piece of “auditing”
were allowed to stand, County I'reasur-
er Winters would actually "gain $19,-
044.73 by the new peculiar Bowman-
Rhoads-Hilemau system of “book-keep-
ing,” which those worthies would] fain
impose upon the Commissioners’ oflice.
Not even the surcharging which the
‘Auditors have transcended their au-
thority to inflict upon the Councy Com-
missioners has been correctly done.
On order No. 522 Wm. P. Meyers, the
Commissioners are surcharged with
$142.50, while the order itself calls for
only $59. 59, s Lastly, in reply to the Au-
ditors’ solemn “objections” and “inter-
positions” we might retort: “Before
you attempt to regulate the methods,
if business in the Commissioners® of-'
ice, you should learn to. audit” But
this would be base flattery, because
such an admonition would imply that a
majority of that body could ever learn
to audit. It is only justice to County
Auditor Sipe to mention that that gen-
tleman signed the Auditors’ report un-
der a misapprehension of its contents;
and that his signature thereto was ob-
tained by resorting to misrepresenta-
tions that would do credit to a gang of
bunco-steerers. .

Henry Wallace, a delegate to the
stogk-growers’ convention at. Denver,
teld this story as an illustration of his
argumgnt that men should not go into
the dairy business without the intelli-
gence to conduct it successfully: “A
Northern farmer determined to move
South and farm. He bought the best
farm he could find, introduced the tame
grasses and went into dairying ‘and
fruit-raising. He secured as a sort of
foreman a very smart darkey, who be-
came a very enthusiastic advocate of
his employer’s new idea. The natives,
white and black, ridiculed the “{dea of
book- farming, and the darkey in disgust
said: ‘Go ’way; yuh’ nothin’ bat a
walk-off.” A friend of mine heard it
and asked: ‘Sam, what i$ a walk-off?’
‘Well, suh, said Sam ; ; ‘when de Land
fust made Adam an’ Ebe he thought he
done a good job an’ were’ mighty
pleased, and say da’ll do pretty well,
and he lay ’em down an’ roll ’em ovub.-
feel o’ de bones and muscles an’ say:
“Yes, de’ll do. I mus’ make ‘em some,
moh
dry ’till he could fin’ somethin’ to make
’em beains. Yuh see, colonel. éraing
