Supervisor s Reports.
A hill has passed itssecond
roaning m me iioiisp requiring supervisor--to
puhlc-h (piarterly report*
N > rt-UMitiitt>I?? objection
can tn> made to-, ch a requirement
anil much good might result.
1 >?.?iiiii the discussion of this
hill, \11. Mill, ot Itenufort, the
author of *he hill, said there are
a great lu ihv bridges to ho huilt
iu In-, county :tn<l former enmity
commissioners are being sued for
h iving collet ted money for buildnio
triil. cs which have never heen
huilt. 11 e (Icclat os that "sect coy
i- the shield of rascVity,'* and he
wanted iho commissioners of
lU'uufort to publish their; reports
juartcrl v.
Now we do not believe that the
supervisor and commissioners of
(.'heater county need tiny shield,
for we do not believe that any rascality
is going an, and we do not
believe they want to keep the
people ot the county in ignoranee
tit what they are doing. It cert
ainlj would be a reduction on the
intelligence rfhd business habits of
the people to say they, do not
waul this information.
In this connection we have an
a v ?i i ? i \ I a f encli i it oitnil 'I Im n en i .
^.\uiii|n? i i veil in hi nil. i i i *j a ui hi
er's Mutual Kiro Ins. Association
of Chester county in mailt) up
generally of the iiioul intelligent
and thrifty farmers iu the county.
Although there in nothing in their
constitution requiring it, they re
quire their treasurer and agent to
publish an itemized report, notwithstanding
its having heen examined
by a select board of directors,
and its accessibility to all
the mem tiers. It is published in
both county papers, und paid for
without any grumbling or kicking.
They say 't will pay in the long
run. V\ hen this is thought nereswiry
in an organization of a small
part of the population of the
county, iu which the liability te
abuse is comparatively small, how
much more important it is in the
affair* of the whole county.
If wo at ? correct in our belief
that our county attains are bow
honestly administered,, that its no
reason why reports should not be
published. People have a right
to know only that the public medey
is honestly spent, but for what
k i* spent as well. Again, hones-ty
and good judgment in of?
fici.ils now do not assure the same
ifualities for all time. Every
Little while we hear of crookednesh
in some county; our turn

their votes const<punil\ recorded
upon, the bill. 1 hose who were
paired against the measure were
Kepresentalives Elliott, Fmlej and
Scarborough. As the vote, how
' ever, was not a panti vote, it is
fair to piesume that some of these
three members, it not all ot them
would, had they been at liberty
to vote, have voted with the remainder
of their col leases in favor,
! of the bill. The measure went!
through by the surprising vote of
1S7 to 21 in the negative.
The bill, which is a Senate hill,
! provides that it shall be unlawful

intoxicating liquor or
' opium to any aboriginal native of

1 and the 140th meridian of longitude
west, and the 120th meridian
j of longitude east of Greenwich,
not buing in the possession or under
the protection of an civilised
power. For the violation of this
law a punishment of three months,
or tine of fifty dollars is provided.
Section 2 of the act provides
' that if opium, wine or spirits are
given bonutide for medical purpesos,
it shall be lawful for the
court to dismiss the charge.
Section 3 provides'that alt offenses
against this act committed
J on any of said islands, or on the
waters, rocks or ke s adjacent
| thereto, shall be deemed commit1
ted en the high seas on board of a
merchant hip or vessel belonging
to the United Slates, and the courts
i of the United States shall have
jurisdiction accordingly.
As the bill has passed the Senate
it now goes to the President
for his signature.
