The Auditors' Report Show Judicious Administration of Public Business. Tho county auditors completed their audit of the accounts of the county om clals for the year 1001 Jan. 2Sth. This report will show that the business of tho county during the pBst year was conducted on a wise and judicious busts, and that the financial afTnlrs of tho county are In a very gratifying condi tion. The bonded Indebtedness of tho county was reduced $10,000, and there remains tn tbo hands of the County Treasurer over $21,000 for county pur poses and $7,000 for poor purposes. In 1808 the tax levy for county pur poses was 41 mills and a bond tax of li mills; In 1800, 4 for county and It bond and In 1000, 4.4, for county and li bond This levy was mado on a total valuation In the county of over $14,000,000. For the years 1901, 1002 and 1003 the total valuation of taxable properties In the county Is a little over $12,000,000, and for the year 1001 the tax levy for county purposes was 4 mills; bond, 1 mill; poor, 2 mills, and for this year tho levy has been fixed at 3 mills for county purposes 1 mill bond and 1 mills poor, making a total assessment of 5i mills, or H mills less than for the year 1001. This Is most gratifying exhibit for the tax-pay' era of the county, coming as It does so soon after the extra burden on the county treasury occasioned by the build Ing of the county home, and it is alike gratifying to the board of County Com mlssloners who labored so faithfully and well to accomplish this result. And there is another pleasing feature In connection with this subject that we wish to mention. Under the old plan of taking care of the poor it cost the tax-payers of the county on an average over $33,000 a year, while the cost of maintaining the poor in the county home last year was less than half of that amount. The beneficiaries, too, were so much better taken care of than under the old plan of every borough and township letting out the keeping of its indigent poor to the lowest bidder. The present board of County Com' . mlssloners, W. C. Murray, Nowton Webster and Al. Hawk, had extraordi . nary responsibilities resting upon them . and it Is a pleasure for the Republka to make mention of the success that comes out of their faithful and efflclen administration of that office. Brook ville Republican. BrockwayvlUe has been visited by travelling agents and the Record has entered a vigorous protest against giving them patronage. We believe the Record is right. Every bit of buBl - nets transacted in a community should work toward Its betterment. The man who benefits a town is tho one who con tributes his share towards its business, A grocery man has no right to expect the patronage of the dry goods merchant whose business he hurts by buying fron out-of-town firms. The business life of a town Is a web of interdependences, and the man who would take a share of business without contributing his own hare to the support of others is a para' Ite. Travelling agents are business parasites when they invado the legltl mate field of business of the home mer chants. They rarely offer lower prices even if that could be used as an argu ment for patronising them, and leave the town poorer to the extent of the business thev have done Id it. In the business life there is a giving that makes a man rich and a wlthholdln that makes a man poor Remember this when you come to do business with your home dealer. It for no better reason than the selfish one that it will help your own business, patronize your borne merchants. Clarion Republican There is an outward lull In the win dow fight this week. The Amerloan and Independent have locked horns and it seems to be a test of endurance, await - lng the outcome of the wage advance move. So far there has been no break oa either side and both interests seem to have their workmen well enough under control to indicate that no great break will occur. The first signs of the train of th wage advance areexpeoted to soon coma from the outside plants. So far all have met the advance, but it Is thought impossible for some of tbem to continue long under present expenses of operation. Commoner and Glass-vorfccr.

Big Stone Building. Silk Mill Wages Increased. Among the amenities of Industrial life and movement In the great silk center was the anto-Chrlstmas "Testi monial," so to write (one cannot call It a gift) of Murphy Urns, to their hands on tho ll)th of Deo., 11)01.. It caino as a genuine surprise and was none tho less welcome on that account. One of the brothers on that duto called all the silk weavers together and mado them a brief address In subntance as follows: We have decided to Increase the wages of every weaver, and from now on the scale will be 15 per cont high er than heretofore, wo do this because the business warrants It. The Bilk trado Is bettor now In all its branches than It has been In a long time and the outlook is also very bright. We feel that our employees should share In tho prosperity. To say that thn weavers were pleased over this frank recognition of tholr right to share In the better condition in putting It mildly. They unanimously voted the Messrs. Murphy the very best employers "that was," and will servo them all the more faithfully In the future; other employ ers also have given notice of nnlncroaso, to take effect with the now year. The. average wages of silk worker (10,622 hands) In Now Jersey is 132.00 per month. American Silk Journal. Sympathetic Women and Murderers. If the authorities published the names of tho morbidly sympathetic people who ask morcy for abundoncd criminals the practise might cease, to the advancement of society. Gov. Stono, for Instance, says the woman who ap proached him in the Interest of the Diddle brothers was a "woman of re spectability" who got Interested In tbolr supposedly sad case. As a matter of faet, there was nothing sad about the case at all. The .murderers wore cold blooded criminals with a peculiarly evil record. So long as the appeals of those morbidly Inclined are given considera tion by juller or Governor so long will the practUe keep up, but if the "re spectable women" knew that publicity was a part of the procedure when they Interfered 1n the eases of notorious criminals they would soon find a hotter outlet for their sympathies.
