WEDNESDAY. JUNE II, 1891.
NOT VERY MUCH OF A aUIBBLE.

The controller refuses to draw war
rants against the 100000 appropriated
by the last legislature to represent
California at the worlds fair. He bases
his refusal on the prohibitive provisions
of section 20, article w., of the consti-
ton of the state, which reads as follows :
''Sec. 20. The general appropriation
"bill shall contain no item or items OF
appropriation other than such as are
required to pay the salaries of the state
''officers, the officers of the government
"and of the institutions under the ex-
elusive control and management of
''the state"
A contemporary calls this refusal OF
the controller to issue warrants against
the worlds fair appropriation quib-
BILE. We do not see the force of this
criticism in the face of the section of the
constitution quoted. The convention
that framed the constitution was very
unanimous in its stand against permit
ting the legislature to divert the money
of the state to any purpose except for
the support of the state. Section 81
and others of the same article accentu-
ate this attitude of the convention. No
doubt the legislature tried to evade the
clear prohibition OF the constitution by
placing the worlds fair fund under the
control of a commission created by the
act; but this is really accomplishing the
defeat of the spirit and meaning of the
constitution by indirection. The quib-
bling is not on the part of the controller
but on the part of legislature.
Whilst we are in favor of representa-
tion of the state at the worlds fair, the
money OF the public treasury cannot be
used for that purpose without violent
infraction of the plain letter and mean
ing of the organic act of the state. We
may argue ourselves into the belief that
we have the right to do 30 because we
want to do SO; but, nevertheless, the
truth is we do it in despite of what we
know to be the clear prohibition of the
fundamental law.
The same paper that treats the con-
duct of the controller in this matter as
quibbling, seems to have very crude
and inadequate idea of the duties and
responsibilities of that official. 1t as
sumes that he has no right to question
any demand that may come before him,
provided it has an act of the legislature
behind it. The law, however, requires
him to examine into the validity of all
demands made upon the treasury before
he draws his warrant in their favor. He
is both the check upon extra-constitu-
tional legislation aimed against the pub
lie moneys and the judge of the justice
and reasonableness of demands made
under valid appropriations. In word
he is the ''watch dog of the treasury"
and stands between the people and the
cormorants who by all sorts of devices
are forever trying to get their hands
into the strong-boxes of the state. He
is not mere clerk, but high officer
clothed with extraordinary power and
invested with responsible duties.

The storm raised in England by the
baccarat scandal seems to be gathering

CALIFORNIA HAS ANOTHER CHANCE.

The national board OF control of the
worlds fair has unanimously refused to
confirm General Chapman as chief of the
horticultural department, and thus that
gentleman is placed IN as awkward a
position as Mr.. Maxwell was. The board
of control, after having passed favora-
bly, upon the nomination OF Mr.. Max
well, resented his rejection by the Chi
cago directory, especially after having
exonerated him from all the
charges made and admitting his
fitness for the position. The case
thus stands that both Chapman and
Maxwell are knocked out. General
Davis, by nominating Chapman after
the defeat of Maxwell, showed that he
was firm in his opinion that the place
should go to California. That being
the case, the name of VIM. G. Forsyth,
OF Fresno, has been put forward. That
gentleman would be acceptable to every
body. He is not only possessed of fine
executive and business abilities, but is
a horticulturist of great experience.
Now that there seems to be a good
chance for the nomination of an
other Californian, we believe that the
name of Forsyth ought to be accepted as
the one that would reconcile all differ
ences. 1t is understood that both
boards would unite upon the
name of Mr.. Forsyth if he
should be backed by the state. There
is no doubt that California will do so
very unanimously. All the pressure
possible ought to be brought to bear on
the worlds fair authorities at Chicago
in his favor, and we may yet save the
important position to our state.

MERCY, NOT STRAINED.

Ex convict; how the brand burns,
like that of Cain of old,)
Friends (?),. the proffered hand, spurns
And repel with glances cold.
Innocent or guilty, avails him not,
Judgment by man was given.
Sore, indeed, the convict's lot,
When chains like those are riven.
Did he not expiate bis crime
Within those dreary prison walls,
Must he, then, forever find
No pardon, for him who falls?
Must wife and child atone
For deeds by him committed
Have all mankind heart of stone,
That his faults be not remitted?
Oh, God, is there no mercy found
This side OF Thy Almighty throne,
Shall frown, and sneer, forever wound,
And mercy come from heaven, alone.

Col. hurd's Narrative i.

Lewis Post of the Grand Army has in
times past done the citizens of Dodge
many favors in the line Of popular enter
talnment, but she SURPASSED herself on
Tuesday evening. when she presented
Col. Hurd, one of our honored citizens,
in the role of narrator of personal re-
miniscences. Col. Hurds experiences in
the beginning of the war were only those
of thousands of other men. but in men,
orizing important details and rehearsing
them for the entertainment Of an audi
ence, he stands alone among the brother
hood Of old soldiers who attempt to en-
tertaln their comrades by storytelling.
Col. Hurd succeeded admirably in hold
ing the undivided interest Of his COM
rades,-which was expected-but he did
much more than this, for the entire audi
ence seemed to be fixed in attention like
statues Of marble. Mrs. j. A. Arment,
by her vivid, vocal rendering Of the old
"Prison Song in opening. partly pre-
pared the audience for the remarkable
control exerted by the speaker. Miss An
ma Owen delighted the entire house by
the very artistic and expressive preludes.

Mr. Thome will, in the future sell gro.
ceries for spot cash. If you will read
his prices carefully You viii see that he
is selling groceries at bed rock.
Our people here for some time past
have been paying more for groceries
than the same goods are sold for in
Bucklin, Spearville, Ford and other
places and this has been the means of
losing Dodge City considerable country
trade. 1t has also induced several par.
ties to send east for their groceries. We
are glad to say that you can purchase
groceries just as cheap in Dodge City a.
anywhere.
There Is another fact that must be
taken into consideration by the people
from the country who trade here and
that 10; that the prices paid BY our mer.
chants for al kinds Of produce, butter.
eggs, etc.. are always from 20 to 30 pei
cent higher than surrounding towns
pay. and now that groceries are sold as
the lowest figure, We predict that this
trade which has been allowed to drift
from % will return and viii save others
which have never traded in Dodge before
