MACAULEY AND THE BIBLE

The Old Testament Student.
Macauley's Essays are examples OF the
great Indebtedness of fOrcible and ele-
CANT English to the Bible for its most
finished pointedneSs. Note few in
stances taken at random from these wri-
tings:
"Surely there is no sword like that
which is beaten out of plOughshare."
1.-The times of refreshing came to all
neighboring countries. One people alone
remained, like the fleece of the Hebrew
warrior, dry in the midst of that benig-
nant and fertilizing dew. While other
nations were putting away childish
things, the Spaniard still thought as
child, and understood as a child"
"The literature of France had been to
ours what Aaron was to Moses, the ex-
positor of great truths which would else
have perished for want of voice to utter
them with distinctness."
"You never saw his opinions those OF
Sir James Macintosh in the making,
still rude, and requiring to be fashioned
by thought and discussion. They came
forth like the pillars of that temple in
which no sound of axes or hammers was
heard, finished, rounded, and exactly
suited to their places"
"With every right to the head of the
board, [Mirabeau took to the lowest
room, and well deserved to be greeted
with-Friend, go up higher"
These are but few extracts. The
number might be greatly enlarged.

The Democrats of Apache coun- ty will put a ticket in the field and elect it, too. Republican office seekers over there are calling them selves Independents and trying to whistle few Democrats into their coop,-CourieF.
 Brother Marion you have "called the turn" The Democrats will put ticket in the field, and a good one, and elect every man nominated, and win from soda to hock." The so-called Peoples Party is too thin ; in fact, decidedly attenuatcd, and cannot whistle Democrats into its coop."

A NOMINATION by the Democratic convention which meets at Hol- brook next Monday, means nothing less than an election,provided an un- objectionable ticket is presented to the voters of Apache county. Such being a recognized fact, it becomes us to select ho4agab!e and trust worthy men for county offices. Lo- cal prejudices and personal consid- erations should De ignored, and no incompetent or irresponsible person should be named as q candidate simply because he is a good fel- low" or comes from some part of ahs county favored by certain del0- gates.

TIE Review appears very much exercised over the HERALD's bill for county printing, and says this pa per took advantage of there being no competition to charge cxorbi- tant prices for work We have paid no attention to these misrep- resentations heretofore, because of their source, deeming it a condo scension to notice anything ema- mating from that quarter. As to the charge of the HERALD taking advantage of tie situation, it being the only paper published in the county at the time, 1t Is only Gec- essary to state a few facts, to show that the man who writes for the Review utterly ignores the truth, and stoops to gross misrepreSenta- ton in order to mislead the public.
 The HERALD was the only paper published in Apache county when the contract for the county print ing for the year 1888 was let, and instead of taking advantage of the situation, put in a bid on the tax list for about one-halfregular adyey- tising rates, and its bid for the re- mainder of the work was the same as Is charged regular cash custom CTS. The HERALD knew at the time that the tax list had to be publish ed-kneW that the Supervisors had no choice in the premises, and could have charged regular rates for the tax Iist. which would have amounted to almost twice as much as was asked. There was no alter native for the Supervisors-the law Is imperative on that point, and says the tax list must be published, if there is newspaper published in the county. The HERALD could, if 1t had felt so inclined, made the bill double what it was and only have charged usual rates. From our knowledge of the writer on the Review, had he the same oppor- tunitv he would avail himself of it to the last farthing.
 AS to the amount sued for, the mistake was not of the HIRALD's

The Trustee of Cur TOWn Site,

The law requires the trustee of the people fer the town site, within sixty days after the first publica- ton, long since passed, to make 8 full and true statement in writing of all the moneys received and ex- pended in connection with his du- ties as Trustee.
 We have called our local trus- tees attention to this once before, but up to date, F. E. Morrison has kept the people in the dark as to the financial condition of our town site enterprise.
 In no captious spirit, but as the result of numerous inquiries made of us by those interested, we again invite Morrison to make full and true statement of the moneys he has received and expended.
 We understand that about one hundred people made their proof, and received their deeds. At s7.O0 each-this would aggregate the neat little sum of $700. Many of the lots paid in addition to this amount from s to $25 each. Now, what we want the people to know is, cx actly how much was received, how, when, and to whom 1t was paid how much is left, and who has it.
 Morrison will soon be rclegatcd to the shades of private life, and it will then Le too late to call for an account.
 We will cheerfuIly print the state ment for general information, and until another week passes, will for bear to make any comments OH this -inexeusable silence as to the dispo- 7sitioAi of the peoples trust fund.

"RuR by a Ring"
enlber.

It seems there Is another ring in Apache county. Itis now running the jail, and according to our no- ton, running it badly, and what is worse, not "according to law" Our new jaiIor is making an un- fortunate start. Is being led by the nose by a set of advisers who vii! ultimately land him and the sure tics on the bond of his principal in the courts.
 There are three inmates of the jail-one convicted of misde- meanor-one convicted of a fel- ony, and held there only for the purpose of awaiting his pardon. These men are properly kept i'll jail-under lock and key, as priso- ncrs should be. The third inmate, Barry Matthews, charged with an  offence second in gravity only to murder, after fruitIess attempts to give the reasonable bond of $1 800, is treated as distinguished guest, a parlor boarder, permitted to come and go, pretty much 2s he pleases. If his victim should have died, he would have failed to have returned from his constitutional walk, and the jailor would simply have been guilty of a felony, in negligently permitting an escape.
 We do not presume to dictate to officials how they shall dis charge their duties; but the pub lie have a right to know how the law iE executed, ,and the official who, from favoritism or what not, disrc- gards lis official obligations, can rely upon it, that general attention will be called to his neglect.
 We hate to see any man laying claim to dcccncy sent to jail. sFe think that all of the unfUrt6hates should be treated kiaiiy Human, ly, and as sconsi4erafety as the coun- ty's ace6anloaati6Ts will permit; :; etme' shall 'nsist, Aaad 1t is the 9hiw, that all prisoners shhllBe treat ed alike-not fish for one, and foWl for another-blt a man sent to ja:l should, until he furnishes the re- quired bond, be kept in jaii. The law recognizes no distinction in the enforcement of it's criminal features, between q poor Mexican, a poor cowboy, and the professional gen tlcmcn. In kindly spirit, Mr. Bunch, we cail your attention to a mistake you arc making.

WE COMMEND the following edi- torial from the San Marcial Repor- ter, the Republican organ of Socor- TO county, New Mexico, to our Re publican friends i'll this county. The sentiments contained therein, apply forcibly to the so-called PeO- ple's party in this county, which all thinking men know, originated with otlice-seeking Republicans who, conscious of their numerical weakness, hope by old rawhide po- litical methods, to secure recogni- ton.
 Tho Democratic convention has convened and done it's work. 1t has placed straight Democratic ticket in the field. The Democrats of Socorro county are certainly en- titled to respect for the bold stand they have taken against the old rawhide political methods so long in vogue in this county They have nominated i straight Democratic ticket. The Republican convention convened yesterday. What course they have pursued tho Reporter is unable to say; but in tie interest of good government, and in the in- terest of the future of this county, it is to be hoped that they have had the manhood, patriotism and the courage t0 eschew the peoples movement and come out squarely for a Republican ticket, and only that course has been pur- sued 1t will be worth more to So- coTr66d 66dtiaf4.ptsthan aiithe advertising issued by fke Bureau of immigra- ten. It will be a notice that So- zorro county has joined the Union and that its people consider them selves American citizens, and are not divided on race issues.

WHEN on the first day of Octo- Der it was announced that the Pres ident had signed the Chinese eX- clusion bill, the Pacific coast be- came satisfied politically, and all doubt as to the electoral vote of three states was s3t at rest. Cleve- land is the only President wEo ever sympathized fully with the Pacific coast On ths Chinese question, and to him is due the credit for settling satisfactorily, 8 matter which has so long vexed the Pacific states.

considerably regard the interests of his immediate constituents, he should remember that he is a rep resentative of the whole territory, and to him is delegated the dls- charge of duties in which every in hubitant of Arizona is directly in terested. We hope and believe that the representatives of the Democ- racy of Apache county in conven- ton assembled, at HoIbro0k, on Monday next, will consider well the qualifications of every person placed in nomination for the council or lower house. No one should be nominated, whatever his personal worth may be, who does not possess the necessary qualifications. He should not only have the ability to dray bill which, if it became a law would stand the test of judi cial criticism, but be able to give reasons why 1t should be enacted as a statute.
