The drill was very neatly done by six

accomplished drill master Capt. Geo. L.
Boyd. Prof. Roemer aud his assistants are
certainly making a success Of the Linsly

praise of the public.

ments are tfor life, or during good |
behaviour" and approximation is
accompanied by a pension, the COM
plant would be entitled TO grave
consideration and the objection be
worthy of being sustained. But an
entirely different practice prevails
in our public service, which justifies
a public servant, particularly If he
has a family to feed, in doing his
utmost, consistent with his public
duties, to establish private means of
livelihood, to fall back upon when
he is dismissed from office--a con-
tingency which may occur any day.
1t is an unfortunate fact, that of
late years the position of q public
servant has become very uncertain.
Efficiency, honesty, and devotion to
duty are no guarantee of continu-
ance in office. At very short notice
he may be called upon to vacate,
perhaps to make room for another
who is his inferior in fitness. He
may be secure enough while one
Ministry is in power, but as its ten,
ure of office is uncertain, so is his.
The first act of the next Ministry
may be to discharge him. Where
and when the terms of employment
are so precarious, it is too much tc
expect the employee to rely upon il
as permanency, or to require hin
to forego any private source of in
come, which is honorable and doe:
not clash with his pulic duties. In
deed, he is wise, if, like the man VIZ
read about in the parable, but in :
legitimate way, he prepares some
"habitation" to go into when he il
turned out of his "stewardship."

THE SITUATlON,

While everyone must acknowledge
that substantial and important ad-
vantages have been secured by the
Reform movement, it is matter of
regret that some fragrant instances
of deceitfulness and meanness on
the part of prominent Govern
ment officials should have damaged
the record of good accomplished.
We certainly have secured spirit
of wise economy in the financial adj
ministration of public affairs, instead
of the foolish, wasteful, and extra
VACANT expenditures of recent years.
We cannot too warmly praise the
skill and energy in the care and i'm
provement of our Honolulu streets,
and roads generally all over the
islands. Some Improvement in the
lower judiciary and in the police
officials gives promise and hope of
still better things.
But without impugning any par
ticular PERSONS motives, or decrying
with wholesale depreciation the pre-
sent administration of public affairs,
we express the grief of many nom
partisan citizens, that some transac-
tions look very much like favoritism
for those of particular clique, or
acts of personal spite against rivals
or opponents. We feel justified in
making this general statement of
approval of the cleaner look and
more wholesome atmosphere in our
governmental affairs. We feel justi-
fed, also, in these general statements
of regret and disappointment al
some fragrant instances of deceitful.
ness and meanness. The whole Re.
form movement is injured by these
deplorable failures at some particu.
lar points to maintain the higl
standard reasonably expected of oul
present political leaders. Som,
writer in the native newspapers L:
raising the cry "Beware of the Re
form Oligarchy." We say, help the
Reform Party to do good work, ant
better work by sloughing off some
unsightly determinations, that ough
never have been allowed to get thei
abnormal and unwholesome growtl
on our body polite.

SHOULD A PUBLIC SERVANT
HAVE A PRIVATE BUSINESS?

Complaints against persons in the
public service having at the same
time private business interests are
reasonable, if those persons allow
their private business to interfere
with their public duties, or if their
private business interests IN
any way initiate against the
proper discharge of their pub
lie duties. A man who is in the
public service should give to it his
entire time and talents during his
hours of duty. Neither should he
when off duty engage in any pur-
suit that may have the effect of di-
minishing his fitness for, or lessen
ing his faithfulness to, duty. The
State, whose servant he is, requires
and expects this of him, and has a
right to require and expect it.
If he is not prepared to
fulfill the requirement, there
is but one course open to him,
as an honorable and conscientious
man, which is to retire in favor of
some one more willing
But complaints against persons
in the public service having at the
same time private business interests
are unreasonable and frivolous, if
those persons do not allow their pri-
vate business to interfere with their
public duties, or if their private
business interests do not in any way
initiate against the proper dis
charge of their public duties.
Were our public service like that
OF some countries, where apoint-

SPRINGERYILLE ITEMS.

SPRINGERvILLE, Feb. 26, 1888.
A double murder occurred in
Luna Valley on Saturday the 18th
ult. There had been a horse race,
after which the crowd gathered at
the store of Sporting Bros & Tay-
lor, and were drinking and playing
cards, when a man named Pitman
and Billy Smith got into a wrangle.
Pitman drew his six-shooter and
threw it down on Smith; who, be-
ing unarmed, threw his coat open,
and told him to shoot. Pitman on
learning that Smith was unarmed,
told him to 60 and heel himself.
Smith thereupOn started and went
into the store where he had left his
pistol, which he secured, but friends
interfered and prevented his return
ing. Pitman on learning the cause
of Smith not coming back, began
to threaten and abuse every one,
and finally wanted to know if Smith
had any friend. A young man
named Blaine, recently from Texas,
walked over to his horse, pulled his
Winchester from its scabbard and
threw it down on Pitman, telling
him to throw up. Instead of doing
so, however, turned toward Blaine,
as he did so both fired almost ST.
simultaneously. Pitman fell dead,
being shot through the heart, the
ball entering under the left arm,
passing through the body and
coming out under the right. Blaine
was shot in the shoulder, the ball
striking the shoulder blade, split
ting, one half coming out on the
left, below the ribs, and the other
on the right side; Blaine living on
ly two hours.
Work has commenced on our
new school house, which is to be

alton is on the ground, and the es-i
timated cost is $500. 1t is said

THE Solicitor General of the A.
lantic and Pdcific Railroad in an
interview recently with a promi-
nent citizen of this county, said:
Gle never had any transactions
with the officials of Apache coun-
ty, that they did not act in bad faith
with him"
The learned counsellor must be
exceedingly absent-minded. We
think that had we passed through
the humiliating ordeal he was made
to endure in Prescott during the
trial of the tax suits, in listening to
the correspondence being read be-
tween himself and our officials, that
neither time nor the direst misfor-
tune could ever have dimmed our
memory in the least. lie should
also remember that the entire cor
respondence is on record, and can
be had and published at any time,
and may be, if any more such as
sertions are made.

Judge Wright, in his charge to the
grand jury, to call their attention
to the matter. We understand that
the authorities intend paying a lit
tie more attention to the assess
ment roll this year, than has ever
been done in this county. 1t is
their intention to examine it thor
oughly, and enforce the law strict
ly, where it is apparent false re-
turns have been made. We would
advise all, therefore, to think twice
before they make oath that they
have given in all the property of
which they are possessed. 1t may
save them trouble and considerable
expense.

EDITOR HERALD In looking over
your issue of last week my atten-
ton was attracted by an item adj
yising property holders to investi-
gate the legality of any deed or
deeds that may be made to town
lots, under the survey and plats
recently filed before the Board of
Supervisors. Don't understand me
as finding fault with either the sur
vey or pIats-that portion of the
work has been done in an uneXcep-
tionable manner, and Capt. Hogue
deserves more credit than he will
receive for it.
Your correspondent since read
ing the item referred to above has
examined into the law somewhat
but not carefully-and has found
sufficient neglect or carelessness, or
ignorance, as to raise very grave
doubts in his mind, as to whether
deed can be given that will stand
the test of judicial investigation.
Being the claimant and having
possession of a small block of land,
within the toWnsite as laid out, the
writer has kept track of all that
has been done. and is under the
impression that those having charge
of this matter, have been acting, or
trying to act, under both the old
and the new law, and have COM
piled with neither.
In the advertisement for bids for
surveying the townsite, reference is

Collection of Poll Taxes.

Under the new laws, the County
Assessor is ex-officio Poll Tax Col
lector, and is the person to whom
all taxes of this nature should be
paid
Paragraph 1928, section 81, reads
as follows: Each male inhabitant
OF this Territory, whether a citizen
of the United States or an alien
indians alone excepted,) over the
age of twenty-one years and under
the age Of sixty years. and not 9th
erwise by law exempt, shall be La
bic to pay such poll tax, as is by
this act provided, and shall pay
the same to the poll tax collector,
upon demand, between the first day
of March and the first day of June
in each year; Provided, however,
that in case of his neglect to pay
such poll tax within the time spec
flied, or the failure of the poll tax
collector to demand or collect the
same during that time, he shall be
liable to pay such poll tax at any
time thereafter, during the balance
of the year"
Par. 1926. sec. 100: "To enforce
the collection of poll taxes, the poll
tax collector may seize so much of
every or any species of property,
right, title, claim to, or credit of any
person liable to and refusing to pay
his poll tax when demanded by
him, as will be sufficient to pay
such poll tax and costs of seizure
and sale, and may proceed to sell
the same at any time or place upon
giving verbal notice, at least one
hour previous to such sale, and af-
ter having deducted the poll tax
for which the property was sold,
and the necessary fees and costs of
sale, shall return the balance Of
such proceeds to the owner of the
property. A delivery OF the pos
session of the property sold by said
poll tax collector to any purchaser,
together with his certificate of sale,
shall constitute sufficient title to
the purchaser, against any claimant
Whatsoever"
The St. Johns herald. (St. Johns, Apache County, Arizona Territory [Ariz.]) 1885-1903, 1888-03-01

made to paragraph 173, page 81,
which | find in the new law ; bat
fail to find any provision in the
same law for appointing three com
missioners to supervise the work.
There is a provision, however, for
such a commission in the old law,
but it is expressly stipulated that
they shall not be residents of the
town, or have any interest therein.
l would also call the attention of
property holders to paragraphs Ia,
page 81, and 1874, 185, page Sc, Re
vised Statutes of1SS7, under which,
according to the advertisement for
bids for the survey, the work was
commenced.
In fact. it would be we'll for those
interested to find out whether the
law has been con piled with in a
single particular, before investing
any more money.
