The DinIcnIty of an Attorney.

That the difficulty of Mac Veaghs posi-
ton before the Philadelphia councilmen
was fully realized by him was clearly shown |
by the liberal subtractions and additions ho |
made TO his speech before he gave it
to the printers. 1t appears that the
report of his speech was not as il was
made, but as altered by him after its de-
livery. The Philadelphia newspapers, with
that enterprise which is so emnently char
acteristic of them, did not take
down the speech as it was de-
livered, but accepted = it as it was
sent to them by the author. To-day
they publish q corrected report for which
they are indebted apparently to the rival
railroad company's stenographer. Such a
melancholy exhibition of journalistic zeal
| is unblusbingly made by the newspapers.
while berating Mr.. MacVeagh for
| the false report of his speech. II was
not creditable to Mr.. MacVeagh, it is
true, but neither were the things he said
| creditable but, remembering that he spoke
as hired attorney, his expressions must
not be deemed to be of his own views, but
of his clients and his speech was garbled
i'm their interest and not in his own.
1t is, apparently, impossible to find the
boundary which separates the admissible
from the inadmissible in the conduct of an
attorney. According to some respectable
practitioners they may do anything short
of an indictable crime !; and free diver
gence from the truth is a fond practice O
the profession, by which they snatch thei
fees even at the gates of-sheol.

AFTER Mr.. MacVeagh's speech to the
Philadelphia councilmen no one will deny
his ability to make feeble effort. Per-
haps it was in the case more than in the
advocate, because Mr.. McVeagh, though
not often powerful, is not often silly.
When next he prays, he will not forget to
put among his petitions one that he may
never again be engaged to speak against
the people for corporation essaying a
crab march.

Rotate the Bank EmplOYes.

The great number of bank officials who
have of late been absconding with the
funds of the institutions that employed
them, makes it apparent that some better
system of inspection should be adopted to
check this increasing evil. All banks are
in sense public institutions, for the ma
jority of their depositors, oyerawed by
granite buildings and incomprehensible
gilt-edged statements, come to so regard
them. National banks have directors who
too frequently do not direct, and the gov
erpment bank examiner generally gets
around to lock the stable door after the horse
has been stolen. Private banks obtain
their chief strength from the presumed in
tegrty of the individual member or mem
bers comprising the firm. No state sur
veillance is exercised over these latter, and
it is very questionable whether if such a
departure is made, the results would not
show the same Dead Sea fruit rs is ex-
hibited in national bank inspection.
One of the least difficult and most thor
Ough methods of preventing this continuous
bank peculation that greets the readers
eye every time he glances at a newspaper,
would be the constant rotation of the bank
employees through all the desks of the insti-
tuition. Conline each official TO one desk,
| his work TO be looked over by one pair OF
| eyes, and if he b. a knave he will have n
| broad field in which to labor. But let him
| feel that his accounts must pass the ordeal
| of inspection by Others at regular periods,
| and he will be bold, indeed, to use the bank
funds for private speculation, and far
| sharper than the average human if he can
long avoid detection. Thus would the enl-
ployes of banks act constantly as auditing
boards, and gigantic steals like those con-
stantly occurring would be prevented, un.
less an almost inconceiyable system of col.
lusion existed among the bank officials.
| 1t may be objected to this plan that il
would tend to produce among bank EN-.
ployes diminished degree of pride in theil
work; and that constant rotation would
breed habits of indifference. On the con
trary, to the bright, willing official, this sys
TEN would furnish unexampled opportuIi
| ties TO learn the banking business through
| and through. The books would not loci
| so neat with 50 many different pens dip
| ping into them; but that would be incon
sequential in comparison with the increased
safety obtained for the bank funds. Give
| the rotation system a trial

DELTA COUNTY is one Of the smallest
counties IN the State in area, population and
wealth. According to the census report the
county contains something over thirteen
hundred men, women and children, AT the
last election Delta county cast about four
hundred votes, and will not raise these fg'
urcs much the coming election. Our debt At
the present time amounts to about 100000
or about 500 for every voter In the county,
and about $50 for every man, woman and
child in the county. The tax levy is a. high
as the Law will allow, but still the debt is
being piled up. When is this state of affairs
going 70 end2 Is II not high time for cIor.
bitant and illegal fees and salaries and use.
Icss sinccurcs were cut Oft, and the county
beginning to live within her revcnuc9 This

to answer Vt the coming election.
Delta chief., 1885-09-16

EVERY ranchmsn, stockman, mechanic and
merchant who expects to make Delta county
his home, is interested in an economical man
agement Of the finances of the county, for it
is out Of their pockets that the money to pay
the debts contracted is eventually to come,
and not out of the pockets of the few who
are growing rich out of Office holding. Com
mence at the beginning, attend the primaries,
send good and true men to the conventions,
and nominate none but honest men for the
different county offices, those who are willing
to serve the people at fair compensation,
and our debt will soon begin to decrease, in
stead of increasing every month as it now is.
Delta chief., 1885-09-16

IF the ranchmen and stockmen do not turn
out at the primaries next Saturday and see
that none but honest, incorruptiblc men are
sent to the different conventions, they can
have no one to blame for the mismansgement
of the county's affairs but themselves, and
should be made to bear the burdens now be-
ing heaped upon them by the present officials
without a murmur.

AT BURNHAM.
The Shop Doors are Thrown Open, but
Only Three Men are Found Base
Enough to Enter. =

At 6o'clock Monday morning over 5000
men assembled on open ground oppo-
site the Rio Grande shops at Burnham,
the attraction being the announcement
that the shop doors would be thrown
open, and all who wished could go to
work. The vast throng of workingmen
gathered for the purpose of seeing if
there were any workingmen base enough
to 90 to work under the circumstances.
An express wagon was used as plat
form, and the meeting was called to ord ,r
and remarks were made. The Declara-
ton of Independence was read from
beginning to end and on motion it was
adopted as the sentiment of the meeting.
This is the first time on record in one
hundred years where the Declaration
has been formally adopted by men who
fully realize its import, and who were
determined to carry out It's grand senti-
ments.
When the shop doors were thrown
open three craven towards walked in,
amid the jeers and sneers of the 5000
manly American citizens who will ever
hold in contempt the three traitors.
The meeting adjourned we'll satisfied
with the success Of the morning, and
still further resolved to win the Rio
Grande strike.

.tion to appeal to the laws for the accom-
plishment of their purposes. But they
appealed to something which rests in a
shadowy realm, but which does not exist
upon any statute book.
I defy any lawyer to define what con-
tempt of court is. If I get upon a Rio
Grande train as traveller and get into an
alteration with brakeman or a conduc-
tor, because have not paid my fare, am I
then guilty of contempt of court Don't
you remember the litigation between the
railroads here short time ago before this
same court? Do yon not remember the
able opinion delivered by this able judge,
for 1 consider him the peer of any
man in character and ability. Do you not
remember that in that opinion read from
the bench this judge condemned the sys-
tenn of pooling. All honor to Judge Hall
lett. 1t was in the case of the Denver d
New Orleans road against the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe. The Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe would not deliver any of
its freight over to the Denver & New Or
leans, but because of a pool which it had
entered into with this same Denver & Rio
Grande it turned it all over to the latter
road. The Denver & New Orleans brought
suit to compel the Santa Fe to turn over to
| it freight to which it was entitled. Judge
Hallett decided the case against the Santa
Fe road, and he issued an order directing
that company to deliver freight to the
Denver & New Orleans. Was that order
ever obeyed? Did the company against
which it was directed ever comply with
| it? None of the officers of that company
were imprisoned for contempt, as these
poor men are? Why was this? What
was the reason for it? Gentlemen, ! mean
no disrespect to any court, but ! do think
that what is sauce for the goose is sauce
for the gander.
| We must make a public sentiment
which will be so strong that it cannot be
resisted. Fright is right, and God is God,
and right the fight will win"
Mr.. Carroll offered the following
resolution which was adopted with enthu-
siasm, only one man of the 5000 present
voting againstit:
Resolved, That we view with indigna-
ton and contempt the infamous charges OF
the Rocky Mountain News against four or
five of our most prominent and worthy
members.
A vote was then unanimously carried
unanimously thanking the presiding Off
Ger and the speakers for their kind assist
ance and hearty support. =.
The closing verses of Storm the Fort
Ye Knights of Labor" were then sung
with enthusiasm.
Mr.. Coats, prominent workmen at the
South Park shops, then arose on the stand
and moved three cheers for the "Rio
Grande Boys" which were given with a
hearty good will, and the large audience
then quietly dispersed.
