Judgment in tie Asylum Cases

Final judgment of custer has heen entered in the Sccon;i jDiicla, district court agai!iSi Ii. ". Stewart, f. (. Hatch and Oscar Lincoln, members of the old board of ln- sane Asylum Directors. Thus the executive order removing them from position mas been confirmed, and these gentlemen, upon their own admission are guilty of mis- conduct and neglect of duty, who refused to obey the order removing them from office have been compelled by order of court to submit to the law and surrender their trusts to their legally appoint ed successors.
 Gov. Zulick has been vindicated by judicial decision and his right to remove faithless public officials under the statute has been affirm ed.
 This judgment in these asy- lum cases comes none too soon in the interest of good government. The position taken by Clark Churchill, that there was no power to punish or remove officials, how ever they may misbehaye, was working injury in all parts of the public service. The treasurer of Apache County refused to recOg- nize the authority of the Board of Supervisors to remove him. The Board of wagon road commission CTS in Apache County disregarded the law creating them aud squan- dered much of the public fund in building a useless bridge. The jail commissioners in Apache County refused to render an accounting to their board of supervisors This decision affirms the validity of the statute passed to protect the people of the counties and the territory a. gainst usurpers in office.
 The old board of Asylum Direc- tors will be compelled if their bonds are not worthless. to cover into the treasury of the territory the money they have spent in vio- lation of law. By refusing to obey the executive order removing them from office, they have made them selves liablc-to imprisonment at Yuma for one year, and a fine of five thousand dollars.
 The people demand that the law be enforced against them. The territory, through their obstinacy, has suffered financially. The in sane patients have been kept for months at Stockton after the Asy- lum building was ready for their reception through the cortumacy of the old Board. They who dance should pay the fiddler. An exam pie should be made of these men, all the pains and penalties provided by law for the punishment of usur- pers in office should be enforced against them. It is high time in the light of past experience in Ari- zona that the principle should be established, once for all, that no man Tor body of men can be law unto themselves, and that there IS a power to punish those who rashly attempt to evade or override the written laws of the land however exalted their station.

Last Saturday evening was happy time
for the Bethel NJ. Z. Sabbath School, it being
the occasion of their annual festival. The
evening was bright and clear. Scarcely a
cloud could be seen and everything seemed
favorable for a delightful time. The Oak
Orchard band, with bright uniforms and
glittering instruments, was on hand promptly
and rendered excellent music. The exercises
were held in the church, which was filed 10
its utmost capacity The decorations of the
interior of the church were of a most elabor-
ate character and equaled ifnot exceeded all
former decorations; yet, as one OF the dlvlnes
said slast year S decoration was hard to beat.
To the ladies who had this in charge belongs
all the praise for the artistic taste displayed.
The programme was interesting as well as
entertaining. We will not go into detail
suffice it to say that all received high encomi-
ums of praise for the excellence of execution
and delivery. A feature of the occasion was
the excellent singing under the direction of
Jos. I. Stem. Revs. G. T. D. Collins and d.
NJ Browning, pastors in charge, and Isaiah
Devilbiss, superintendent, delivered appro.
pirate addresses. After dismissal the school
repaired to the basement of the church where
they were handsomely treated. The band at
this point rendered some of their best selec-
tions. The school, which numbers Us, has
been successfully managed during the past
summer and bids fair to be more successful
in the future. The evening was enjoyably
spent; every one seemed happy. "The golden
orb of day was fast sinking to rest behind the
western hills before the last one. left the

victories to its record since our last issue.
On Saturday they easily defeated the Rich
monds by a score of 81 to ,, and on Wednes-

perience with left hand twirler. They had
no trouble in hitting him, however, and in
the first two innings three singles and two
-baggers were made off him. Gaul retired,
and in the balance of the game the home
club made eleven more hits. Bat five hits
were made off Houseman, and he retired
nine on strikes. Six of the Westminsters
struck out. Hits were made by the home club
as follows: Clabaugh three singles and a
double; Zepp and Anders singles; Miller two
singles; Houseman two two baggers; Pfarr q
single and double; Morgan three singles;
Shaw one -bagger-total 81. Bankard
