MAT- Clatsop county's finances arc not in a very satisfactory condition; tbey might be worse; they can bs better. Tbe county is in debt; the amount received for taxes, etc. loots large; there is not a great deal to show for what is expended. We can point to no public buildings; we have little in the way of improvements, and roads etc are conspicuous by their absence. A few figures compiled from official records maybe of some interest at this period, the beginning of the fis cal year. The county owe3 $20,000, on which there is a yearly interest to pay of $1,G00. These bonds will be due in 189L On the 30th of June 18Si there were warrants out to the amount of 17.512 10. Daring the year ending June 30th, 18S5, in addition to this S17,512 1G there were issued warrants to the amount of 25,623 S7. Duiang the 3 ear warrants were paid to the amount of $11,715 71; warrants is sued duplicating lost warrants to the amount of $30S 31 and warrants not called for and outlawed to the amount of $353 17, leaving a balance of debt on this "item of $30,258 81; add this to the amount of bonds and we find that Clatsop county owes to day over $50,000. This $59,000 is drawing $1,000 a year interest. The assets of the county may be summarized as follews: Cash on hand in the general fund, $7,3GS 79; due on delinquent taxes for '84, $1, 310 9G; due on delinquent taxes for S3, $2,291 03. Of this amount about $10,000 can be counted on, which would still leave about $40,000, if that $10,000 were applied to the payment of the debt and the eight per cent Jnterest on lhatamonnt were stopped. It was a maxim of A. T. Stewart Ibatf'six per cent interest will beat any business.' Eight per cent is worse. On the 1st of last July there was $4,232.70 in the county treasury. During the last twelve months money has been received as follews: from delinquent taxes of '83, $511.12; from poll taxes, $691.33 a largo amount for a county with 2,000 polls ; for fines and costs, $2S0.25; for licenses, $651; for trial fees, $230; from "deceased fund," $S8.45; from state school apportionment, $1,059; from taxes collected for 18S4, $32,623.31: this makes a total of $36,134.48. During that year there was paid in school warrants $8,055,01; interest on bonds, $1,G00; county orders cashed, $11,715.71; interest on county orders cashed, $421.70, and to state tax ap portionment, $10,470.90,making a total of $32,263.22. This leaves a present balance in the treasury of $8,104.02. Let us see how some of this money was spent. For road districts and bridges was paid the sum of $1,862.90. It would doubtless be interesting to the taxpayers to see what was the re sultant benefit. The poor we have alwaj-s with us: in the last twelve months the poor cost the county $3,028.9S: it may not be out of place to suggest that it is believed by some that the deserving poor of Clatsop county could have their requirements supplied for a little less. The cost of two elections was $856.20, which is not excessive. Repairs to the court house and what is usually called "the county jail," street improvements and stationer', etc., cost $2,040.75; there was spent in circuit court, justices courts, and coroners inquests, $9,755.95. That last item may be all right; probably it is, but it looks as if circuit court terms nnd justices courts were rather costly luxuries nearly $10,000 for one year in a county like this. Tho fees and salaries of all officers forms a separate item of $8,079; this last item includes the board of prisoners confined m the county jail and looks reasonable enough. This community is made up of in dividuals. The most of the men and women that pay taxes are work era. borne ol us own farms, others own steamboats, others canneries, others stores and warehouses. We are all in some kind of business. We all ran our businesses on business prin ciples; if we don't we fail, we have to quit, our affairs go to pieces and we ore bankrupt. It is a good plan to run public business on the same prin ciple that a man runs his private busi ness, carefully, Mid with judgment. Taxes arc piling up pretty fast, we pay a state fax. a high county tax, the city tax is with us also, and now we hear of a probable ten mill tax in school district No. One. Where is nil this going to end? To tho so journer, the man who is over head and ears in debt, the man who is only here over night, the question is not VJry important, but we again ask those of our readers who have property hero and who are interested where is'nll this going to end? SPUECKLES ACQUITTED. Five years ago young Kalloch was acquitted on the charge of killing Ohas. DeYoung, proprietor of tho San Francisco Chronicle and now a jury acquits Adolph Spreckels on a charge of assault with intent to mur der M. H. DeYoung, tho present pro prietor of that newspaper. Chas. DeYoung did a service to the state of California in showing up the transactions of the Kallochs and the hypocrisy of their upholders. When he shot the elder Kalloch he put his own life in jeopardy and yet in shoot ing at Kalloch he probably did no more than any other man would do that has any feeling when his moth er's name is mentioned in the vilest language of the brothel. In showing up tha transactions of Clans Spreckels and the sugar ring, Mike DeYoung did tbe state some service. All the thanks ho got for it was a bnllet in his shonldcr from Claus Spreckels' son who now goes free at the hands of a San Francisco jury. Wo have never liked tho Chronicle and never had any use for tho Do Youngs, but the splendid aggresive- ness of that newspaper has always commanded our admiration. It has had some big fights with hard foes and has uniformly been victorious. It has fought monopolies, exposed rascalities, coerced tyranny into sub mission and made ban Franciscans comparatively free from the grinding power of cruel and desperate men. It has been too ready to crush those who disagreed with it and too vindic tive in its quarrels. Nevertheless it has been a steady friend to the people, it has thrown itself into their causo and champ ioned what it professed with an tin equaled earnestness and determin ation and deserves credit for its per sistent pluck. The San Francisco jury that ac quitted Spreckels made a mistake, in tacitly endorsing the Spreckels in their unwarrantable action. A man in a newspaper office is a fool if he has no opinions; ho i a coward if ho dare not express those opinions. Of course he is responsi ble for the expression of his opinions and is to be held accountable for any abuse of personal rights. Men in newspaper offices have said what would justify the mau assailed in shooting his assailant, but as a gen eral thing there is another and a bet ter way to punish tho man who so far forgets his position as to attack or li bsl a citizen. The press dispatch saya the verdict is "a rebuko to personal journalism." San Francisco stands more in need of "personal journalism," than it does of such a "rebuke" at the hand3 of a San Francisco jury. It has cost Colusa county, Califor nia, $30,000 to feed tramps for tlio last two months. SEW TO-DAY. Dissolution of Copartnership.
