A Cheek on County Treasurers.
LIMOIA , Neb , Jan. 21. [ Special to TUB

to send ono ropoit of earn county to the stnto
auditor and file another with the county clerk
or county commissioners , who shall publish
it In their proceedings. The treasurers nro
to hnvo no notice of his coming.
"Hundreds of thousands of dollars hnvo
been lost to the people of Nebraska , " savs
benntor Kclpor , "through the defalcation of
countj troisurers. Sometimes they were
dishonest , sometimes not. Sometime tholr
bonds noru defective , and often the claims
were compromised. Mirny treasurers nro
well meaning mon , but they know llttlo about
bookkeeping , particularly whca intricate
accounts nro in question. The county com
missioners aio supposed to examine their
books , but many of the commissioners mo
farmers who have no training as export ac
countants. The frequent losses of this sort
are themselves the proof that the survoil-
anco of the commissioners. Is not n suftlclent
protection to the people , A competent ex
aminer could dev Iso n simple plan of bookkeeping -
keeping nnd make It comprehensible to every
treasurer. After that sj stem is oneondoptetl
the examination will be a short matter. Lesser

States hurried up the export trade bore six
months ago so that n larger amount of goods
reached the United States before the Me-
Klnloy act went into effect. "This. " said the

senators that there wns a difference between

dcclnicd that the elections bill wns a bill

that would bo simply postpon

Ni w YOHK , Jan. 2-1 [ Special Teleirram to
Tun BIT. ] President Samuel Comport of
the American Federation of Labor , speaking
of the contemplated strlko of the United
States Minors' association for an eight hour
dav , said to TIIK BKK correspondent today :
"For two yoara pist the miners of the
country have bofn quietly preparing for this
second great Inttlo In the war of American
workers for an eight hour work day. They
are ready for the light , if fight it must bo ,
us the carpenters were two years ago , nnd in
the end their vijtory will bo complete. They
nro splendidly organized and In n strong
financial conditionhaving nearly six bundled
thousand members and several millions
of dollars in the troisury. A conven
tion of the United Mlno Workers of
Amcilc.i has been called by the executive
board to moot nt Columbus , O. , on February
10 next. At th.it convention It is probable
that the demand for an eight-hour day will
bo formulated. Then having served notice
on the employers , the union will wait quietly
until May 1 , when a strike will bo begun
wheicvcr the demand is not netedcd It is to
bo hoped that no strlko will bo nccossaty ,
but the attitude taken in recent troubles by
the compinios , especially In the Pennsyl
vania coke region , gives us much roison to
fear that the fight will bo n long nnd bitter
ono In fact , it will probably bo the biggest
and fiercest strike in the hlsto.y of American
labor. It will bo confined to tbo minors.
Theio will be no sv mpathetle strlko. The
trades afllllatlngIn the federation will give
the movement strong moral nnd financial
support. Shorter hours for the minors will
mean shorter hours for woikers in all other
branches of industry , nnd there can be no
doubt that a redui-tion of the bourn of labor
will do more than any other measure to
afford work to the hundreds of thousands of
moil employed , Increase wages bv cutting off
this starving competition , and bring about
real prospentv In all branches of business by
the immense Impetus that will bo given to
popular consumption of nil the necessaries
and luxuries of life. The movement Is moderate -
orate , sensible and practical. It dosci ves the
earnest sympathy and support of tbo publio
everywhere. "
