Hearty Cooperation with Hon
M. -. Foley.
As has been fully stated already, Hon
M. D. Foley instituted. last Friday, pro
ceedings against the County Commission
ers of Eureka County to recover for the
county the sum OF S6,42O. alleged to have
been illegally paid out on orders by said
Board Of Commissioners.
The attitude Of this paper in the
premises was defined in yesterdays issue.
We repeat to-day that Mr.. Foley has done
we'll and deserves the c~ommendstion OF
the taxpayers and all clean-minded citizens
OF Eureka County. 1t is our purpose,
also, as stated yesterday. to stand by him
and see that the action he has commenced
is carried out to its legitimate conclusion.
There is street talk to the effect that the
suit was not brought in good faith; hat 1t
was started only to subserve the purposes
of Q ssjob," and that when the end pro-
posed should be accomplished 1t would be
allowed to go by default; that, in fact, it
was begun as q scarecrow to stsrtle and
bulldose the County Commissioners into
giving the county patronage in certain
quarters to others than those who
monopolize it pretty much at the present
time.
This talk we are not disposed to listen
to; for ever il it is true, it does not affect
the main issue. 1t does not matter
whether IL was the intention to push the
suit or not. 1t has been commenced, and
it will be pushed.
As already promised, the SENTINEL will
stand by Mr.. Foley and put it's shoulder to
the wheel along with his in the reasonable
and wholesome endeavor in which he very
justly must be allowed to appear as the
most conspicuous agent. Our best ener-
gies and ali our strength shall be applied
to the work of thoroughly investigating,
conformity with, or apart from, Mr.. Foley,
the charges against the County Commits
sioners.
The senior proprietor Of this paper is
responsible OIL the bond Of COMMISSIONS
William Arlington in the sum Of $4,000.
This shall be no bar to the action OF the
SENTINEL in the part it proposes to take on
behalf Of the public and its owners, who
pay heavy taxes. in probing the charges
against the County Commissioners to the
very bottom.
The fight shall be carried on against
these defendants to the bitter end, until
the public, at least, shall Nave the case
fully presented in all its material bearings.
II the Commissioner be guilty, their
guilt shall be made plain; il they can be
shown to be innocent, they shall have the
full and perfect privilege OF that showing.
This will not be 9 labor Of love, nor will
it be easy. 1t will require time, pains and
research. We shall discuss the case in our
way day. by day--the material Tor
discussion oeing apparently aoundant-
without iear, favor or auection'

they may.
In the outset, as q starter In the investi-
CATION, we Will, IN cooperation with Mr..
Foley, invite the attention OF tax-psying
citizens and the public generally to two
items in a certain bill passed by the
County Commissioners at their last meet
ing. Monday, Aug. 6. We happen TO be
moro familiar with this matter than with
any other just now, and for the sake OF
convenience and readiness alone we pre-
sent it first. The item Of SIS paid ont at
the same meeting for bug poison for the
destruction Of innocent vermin at the
County Hospital we pass over to some
other opportunity in the near future.
The County Commissioners, or Q ma
jority Of them, last Monday, w~rongfully
ordered paid to the Eureka Evening Leader
500 for county printing. This sum is
made up OF two items-one an improper
charge and the other an o~vercharge.
The overchsrge is in this: The bill
charged the county for al SQUARES devoted
in the Leader to publishing the bills
passed by the Board during the month OF
july, There were published ak SQUARES
in the Leader. by actual messurement and
not a souare more. At Al per souare
