The only point to understand is, that the two statements are separate ard dis- tinct from each other. Were this point ot difference not existing there would he no occasion for the law re- quiring che two to be made out and published separately and at differ- ent times of the vear. The January statement shows a difference of $299.68 more than that published last week. But it should be borne in mind that the January statement went back and took in the expenses of Februaay 1882, which amounted to considerable more than this differ- ence. while the last statement did not include that moath- The Tiss has propped itselt up to answer all the legitimate and tair questions the Repudlecan and the rest of the opposition may be curious to know, so give your faber full sway.

Scandal is society’s greatest evil everywhere, at all times and in all places, The professional gossip- cr—for they make a profession of it —is society’s worst enemy, unprin- cipled and cowardly. They hound the footsteps ot the married and the unmarned, and if they de not succeed in wrecking ones character, they have at least, by their venomous tongues So poisoned the social air with lies thata cloud of suspicion forever hangs about the victims brow. And who are the gossipers? They are numerous, and belong te ever age, sex, creed, professien, and by no means exceptng the sanctity of the church. It is said that women are the most cruel and unrelenting in the persecution of their own sex.

In the statement gublished last week this $t7,15, is eacluded in the $464.92, tound item- tsed under the heading of “per diem and mileage of county Judges,” while the $30, paid the Board of Equalization is under its proper heading.
