STATE AUDIT cm MOORR has been em powered by an act of the legislature ti appoint two inspei-toi s of county trcas liters wlio-o dutj it will be to examine the tax books and records of the varioui county ticasurois with a view to a uni form method of accounting and ai'cuiati i eports of the i evenucs collected. Those inspectors should not only be export ac ( SQuntants but mon of una s > ailablo ropu tat ion as to integrity. Political bar Jiaclos and camp followers should b < pivcn a vv ide berth. THE nsMimption that a state olRco cannot bo impeached for misdemeanor i-ominitted during a previous term Is i delusion. Precedents of oflloials 1m poached for misdemeanors committci during a prior term are quite com num. In our own state Davii Butler was impoaehed and con vlctcd for a misdemeanor committei in his previous term of olllee , althoug ; that point had been distinctly raised b his attorneys at the outset of the triai There are al o a number of precedent for tlio impeachment of ox-olllcors fo misdemeanors committed whllo the wore holding olllco. Impeachment e this class of ouVnuors is , hovi over , a question of expediency , b ( caubo the main object of impeachmoi is to doposn recklessly negligent an orrupt ollleials whoso lotontion I olllco would joop.udi/0 the safe koopin of public jiroportlei and management c btato institutions under their care. IT is gratifying to learn that Seen tary Morton does not intend to abate tli o'Tort to introduce corn to the tables ( Europeans , but on the contrary propose to push the work moro onorgoticall than lui = j boon done In the past. II : predecessor unquestionably did all thu was possible under the fircumstanci and with good results , and if Socrotat Morton can Improve upon it ho may 10 ; assured of tlio hearty support of tl corn producing states. The hecrotary i agriculture has homo \ory practlct ieluas on the subject , one oflilch is tin wo need to send to Kuropo greater number of competent cjoki who can give Instruction i the best methods of preparing corn fi the table , This is certainly very in portant. It appears from the uxpro wions of Seorotary Morton tlmt ho hi full confidence in the ultimate'succoi of the effort to educate the people of Ki r > po to eat corn , and there is good rci ton for this feeling , though it is to 1 expected that progicss will continue ) lie slow. It Is a work , however , tin will richly lopay all It will cost If final' Hueeossful , since Mich a European domai for American corn as It Is hoped can 1 created would , as the boorotary of agi vulture says , make for our fanners 01 oj the most prollLublo crops wo now pr A cir T/O.V ro r/ovtf/tvtm /rorvif t / It IH to bo hoped that ( tovornur Cronnso will very olosoly and t'liirfult } r > can every Item In the appioprlnllon bills thai worn placed on hit desk dm Ing the' closing hour of the "i" slon The elianci" ) arc that designing parties may have rniiKod the Insertion of appropria tions that were1 not voted or concurred In and ( heie U a possibility that some of the llgurns in tliufi ) nppropi latton Items have 1)oon expanded to order. Such things liavo happont'd bcfoio and are more than likely to have been perpe trated Saturday night after the chairman of the house enroll ing committee had departed and parties not entirely trustworthy or dls- inlet ested had access to the enrolling clerks. The constitution expressly em powers the governor to veto any item in the appropriation bill and the governor should not hesitate to run hh pen through any questionable appropriation or item that has been raised. Wherever any doubt exists as to the oncurrenco of both houses in any appropriation a comparison should lx > made with the re-ends nnd original amendments ap pended to the bills. Such u pn cosi may save the state many thousands of dollars and nip any scheme of raiding thu treas ury in the bud before it is consummated. Tin : J LV ; tn M IHKKI. A New Orleans newspaper that should bo well informed on the subject of sugar sajs : "With the prospect of n short sugar crop there is reason to expect that the United States will have to draw upon Kuiopcan supplies of beet sugar later in tlio season. This prospect lias already assisted hi the advance inLm- on. " The market has been steadily row ing stronger for some time past , bete having been two advances of one- ighth of a cent each in the now prod- ict. The causes assigned for these ad- anccatirocimparathel } light supplies f sugar in Europe and the pros- ii-et that the I'ubm crop will 'all c msidetnbly below that of last .casoti. If theie ib anj thing in the pie- iction that there will bo an increased eiiiand for the buet sugar product of Europe , it must follow that the same in- : lustry in this country will bo eorro- pondingly stimulated by the anticipated hortago. Sjmo color is ghon lo the .tiilement . Unit the eauo sug.tr supply o bo short by the fact that the price of ho law product is going up , with a nospcct of going considerably higher jet. jet.If If it bo true that there is a prospect of lighcr prices for sugar and an increased [ leinand for the boot product on account if reduced production in the great cane iiigar districts , it is a matter of some nterest to those who are engaged in the sugar beet industry in Nebraska. Thai > riees are advancing is undeniable , and tlio fact that the ad\.iueo extends all o\er the world indicates that it is due o the operation of the law of supply and demand rather than to speculation. II may prove to bo only temporary , but t has the appearance of being genuine Such a strengthening of the raw sugai .narktt at n time when the tendency o : prices of nearly all commodities is down waid where any change whatever i : noted , should bo regateled as cnoiura- ging by producers. The beet sugar Indus try of this state , though yet In its infancy : md no doubt conducted lesad I'ajitageoiiHly than it will be when it ha1 bee ) ine better established , ha- > already ppov en highly profitable at such pi ice- as hae pi oviiilcd. It cannot be doublet' that the sugar demand will increase ii ptopoitlon to the world's giowth ir population and wealth , and this mean- that new sources of supply must bo Initi under tribute to meet it. There is m longer any need of proof that Nebraski boil is in the highest dogieo suited U sugar beet culture. Unlike many otlioi agricultural products the sugar bee cannot be successfully cultivated ovorv whoio. There are favoied localitie in which the conditions of soi and climate are adapteel lo it and such conditions exist ii this state , as lias ah e.idy been practicall ; demonstrated by the development vvhlcl this young industry lias attained hoio Ii a few j eai s. Tlio present advance in the price o raw sugar as a icsult of an anticipate ) shortage in production may have n great significance , but it certalnl , alloidssomo eneouiagement to the pit : ducer. It proves to the beet giowo that the production of the cane district is not likely to destroy his market though if he is a philosopher ho need no evidence that so staple an article u sugar must always bo in demand. TllK COMHISSinAKK or I'KXSIOXS. Tlio appointment of Judge Loclnen e Minnesota as commissioner of pension is generally commended. IIo is hiiiise an old soldier , having gene into the wn as a member of the First Mmnciot legimenl , and his military iccord i highly honoiable ? though ho did nf attain high innk. Although a demi ciat he was appointed to a judgeship 1 : a republican governor and was twice n elected. Ills candidacy for the con missionership was endorsed by the n publican legislature of Mimics ) ti These facts indicate that ho is not n olTcnsu o partisan. It is understood to 1 the intention of the ndminislrntiim make a thorough rev islon of the ponsic rolls , and If this task woio committed a man who , like the hourotary of the li torior , was not a soldier , and might hav litllo interest In the welfare of the vu eians , it is easy to understand that thei would bo danger of much injustice boil done. A man having nocjnimoii ' pathy with tlio old soldiers would' 1 very likely to sacrifice them in the I toio t of his i pularity with those wb are demanding a radical change in tli pension pul'oy ' of the government , will thoiof n-o bo reassuring to the ve eians to know that one of the own number , with an excollei record m a soldier , and who has ulwn heartily sympathised with .those wl wore deserving and justly entitled the bDiinty of the government , will ha in charge the work of revising t pension rolla and separating the wortl from the unworthy Neb > dy d > ul lhat thoto are persons receiving ponslo from the government who have no elai to them , and justice to worthy ponsic ors and to the whole people ueman that such persons shall bo dropped frc the rolls It U probable * that thoi'e him be fit a great dull of oxnifge'ratlon re - ganllng fnui'lnl"nt pi'iuniH , but Ix the nutnbiM * of the uiukueM'vIng m ire or IIMS the.v Hhould b.i hunted out and deprived of a bniuty to which they have tr claim It will doubtless bo nouniy ta < k , but It must bt porlormcd , There Is reason ti believe that the now cjininlsilonor will bring to Its perform ance a c mscientious desire to at once deal justly with llio veterans ami with Iho goveinment , so thai n > honest pensioner need have any apprehension of dnngtir to his interests from the change in Iho adminislrallon of Iho pension bureau. It Is altogether creditable to Mr. Cleveland that ho showed an earnest do- site to llnd for tliN very Important olllco a man in every way qualified to perform Its duties , and ho did well in making his -election from a section of the country whore the old sildlor clement of the p ipulatton Is ospjclally largo. Commis sioner Looht on is a good democrat , ot course , but his partisanship is not of the extreme kind , whllo as a veteran ho un- doubtedlv cm bo depended upm to do all thai is fair and jusl toward tlio veter ans SOUTH CAKOUNA has a unique law , pas-cd by Iho last loglslaluro , and to go Into ofleet July 1 next. It requites the state to assume abs > lute control of the put chase and sale ot all liquors within its llmils. A eommisMon. of which Iho governor is Iho head , will appoint Iho saloon keepers in all Hie cilies and low us , a majority of tlie voters of which may applj for their appointment. Cvery baikeopoi in the state will bo a salaried state olllcer and will turn all his re ceipts into Iho t.ito treasury. The gov ernor and Iho slalo liquor commissioner have boon lo Kentucky contracting for a supply of bourbon made In thai state and of course they arranged to get the best. Tlio commis sioner sajs that the liquors that will be supplied the people of South Carolina under the new law will be superior to any they have over used , and ho was doubtless selected for his position be cause ho is a connoisseur. This unique legislation was the icsult of u bitter con- llict between the liberal clement in the state and the prohibitionists , tlio latter linally consenting to the adoption of si measure that would break up the saloon tiafllc and secure to tlio rot > of their fel low clti/ons bettor qualities of liquor' than they have been accustomed to The experiment of n state carrj ing on n liquor business will bo walched with cu ri nis interest. THU Philadelphia J'IP makes the suggestion that in order to remedy the excessive telephone charges congiov ought to put Iho American Ball Tele phone company under the purview o the1 Interstate Commerce commission and lequiie llrst icporti and next super vision of its charges. The suggestion i' a good one , admitting that it Is practi cable for the government to assume tin regulation of Ihe telephone company , and ef course this will bo questioned , The complaint of exorbitant telephone charges is gencial , and if the Bell mo nopoly is to be allowed to prolong its existence1 under the Berliner patenl some means should be f Jimd logivcroliel f i om its exactions. If the governmen' ' shall succeed in elomoiisttating that tin patent under which the Bell company hopes to piolong its monopolistic catcei was fraudulently obtained that wil Di iug the needed relief , but the outlool would bo moro hopeful if it were not fo Ihe fact that a Massachusetts man is a the head of Ihe Department of Justice Tlio telephone interest exerts an inllu encoin that state which has lierclofon enabled it to canj everything its owi way , and it will not bo surprising lo lint Ihal it lias some potency w ith Atlorne ; General Olney. 11' is understood that ow ing to tin eatlj date lixed for the great naval 10 view , which is to take place in Nov Yoilc harbir on the 27lh inst. , it will b < impossible for Uu sin to bo represented The gieat warships of thai imporlan nation would add much to the spectacle but they arc said to be locked in tin Baltic sea bj ice.
