If we are closed up it will be a hard blow to our num erous patrons ; but as long as we are satisfied with To Treasurers of Public Funds, Attorney General Maloney, of this State, quotes the law in declaring that all treasurers must publish their reports. He says: It must first show the amount of money on hand at the commencement of the fiscal year. Of course this sum need not be itemized, for the people already have been made aware, or ought to have been made aware, of the source from whence that money came. The only pur­ pose the legislature had in view in re­ quiring a publication of that amount was to point out to the people how eco­ nomical, or otherwise, the previous year's administration had been, and with what amount from that source the coming fiscal year should be charged. Again, the report must show the amount of public funds received, and from what sources. I am of the opinion, in order to comply With this provision of the law, that there should be a plain, unambiguous state­ ment made by the officer, of the different BumB of money coming to his hands, and the sources from whence they, and each of them, are derived should be plainly and unambiguously stated. It seems to me that the report should be so plain and detailed as to convey to the person who reads it as thorough a knowledge and undsrstanding of it as the officer who had handled the money. If, in order to accomplish this purpose an itemized statement becomes necessary, then an itemized statement should be made. Again, the report should contain "the amount of public funde expended and for what purposes expended." Really,, in practice, the matter of expenditures is far more important than that of receipts. While, no doubt, it is material and high­ ly beneficial that the public should know the exact source from whence the funds are derived to defray the public expense, yet it is of far greater importance that they should know how and in what man­ ner they have been expended. There is no danger from the public press. An honest criticism of every officer's acts is a good healthy thing in' the community, and it should be encour­ aged rather than retarded. Honest men do not fear scrutiny into their public acts, and while no doubt many news­ papers often surpass legitimate public criticism, yet, after all, the great body of them is invariably found on the side of honest govern men % and a proper and impartial enforcement of the law.

"Hello, where'd you get that mare? 1 propounded Tom Pease of farmer John i Burton, as the latter got out of his buggy to tie his horse yesterday. "Raised her from a colt," senteriously replied the other. "Git out. You hainl had that horse a month." " Mebby you knowiny business better than I do myself," replied Burton testily ae he gave the hitching strap an extra pull. "I know darned well that you ain't driven that horse a month," persisted Jim, shifting his quid to the left cheek. "I'll bet the cigars that I've driven thiBnag into this town twice a week for eight years. Now if you know better'n that there is a chance for an argument, "I'll go you," replied the other. " The mare you've been driving had the heaves .ao bad that she blowed like a black­ smith's bellows." Then the farmer smole a knowing smile and told his doubting friend how a couple of packages of Dr. Weare's Sure cure for Heaves had knocked the spots out of the heaves and left the mare well and sound as she was when a colt. Then Jim bought the cigars and made a inur- ;§nur,.|:' • Nice fresh spring styles of dry goods fust received, also hats for the hatleeB and pants for men and boys, at J. W. Cristy & Son's, Ringwood.
