What Was Wanted.

The ability to state a case so clearly
as to render misunderstanding impossi-
BILE is valuable gift, but, unfortunate
ly, all persons do not possess it. A po-
litical convention was being held for the
purpose of nominating a candidate for
an important Office.
The district was close one, and the
necessity of selecting popular man
was thoroughly recognized. A speaker
had just nominated a personal friend
for the position, and in an elaborate
eulogy had presented in glowing terms
his manifold merits, especially empha-
sizing his great services upon the field
of battle, as we'll as in the pursuits of
peace.
After he had finished, voice was
heard in the rear of the room: "Well,
what we want is a man that will run
the best"
In an instant the orator was again
upon his feet.
eff you think this convention can find
anybody who can run better than the
gentleman I have nominated, I point
you once more to his well-known war
record. "-Youth's Companion.

COUNTY AFFAIRS.
Official Information for the County Treas
urers The County Board and
Public Funds.

Following is copy Of communica-
ton sent to County Treasurer Gavino
Ortiz to-day in Which the tax payers will
find more than passing interest:
Dear Sir: beg your pardon for not
answering your favor of the 9TH before
this. have been very much occupied
in the court now in session and have not
had time to properly consider the matters
referred to me for my opinion until this
time.
Chapter 6s, Laws 1889, section 2, reads
as follows:
"And hereafter all taxes annually lev
led for county purposes shall be appropri-
ated and used exclusively to meet and
pay the current expenses of the county
for the year succeeding that in which
such taxes have been levied to the extent
that such taxes have been collected prior
to, and during said last mentioned year.
Provided, that all delinquent iaxes of pro-
ceeding years shall be applied when col
lected, to pay the current expenses of the
county as they may accrue"
From this, under fair construction, |
am of the opinion that all delinquent taxes
collected now or in the future shall be ap-
piled to the payment of current expenses
of the county as they may accrue.
Responding to the inquiry contained IN
your letter Of February ID, unhestating-
ly pronounce as my opinion that the gen.
tlemen named by you, as acting chair.
man of the board of county commission
ers of this county, is not and has not been
legally elected nor has he any right, title
or demand upon that office. The only
chairman of the board OF county commits
sioners of Santa Fe county is Mr.. A..
Staab. | have come to this conclusion
after a careful consideration of all the
facts and in the light of the judicial de-
termination of the matters in controversy
by the Judge of the 1st judicial district
court, Hon. E. P. Seeds.
1t is my opinion that you shall not
recognize any other chairman than Mr..
Staab, and if you do and pay out any
moneys Of this county upon any orders or
warrants signed by any person other than
Mr.. Staab, you will be liable upon your
bond for the moneys so paid out as we'll
as to other complications not necessary
here to recite.
1t ls safest always to be guided by the
courts, and as this matter was passed
upon in the mandamus proceeding against
Pedro Delgado, probate clerk, your plain
duty is to recognize the decisions Of the
court as binding upon you in the dis
charge OF your official duties. Any other
mode of conducting the affairs Of your Of
fee is unsafe, unwise and apt to bring
upon you trouble and expense. Yours
respectfully. R. E. TwITcHELL,
District Attorney.
l approve the above.

Solicitor General.
