the Grange under the suspension of the
rules. The Governor was escorted to the
hall by a special committee. He spoke
on the necessity of the farmers con-
centrating their energies by compact
organization; that they did not sue
coed so well In securing the legis-
lation that they desire because
of the many organizations into which
they are divided. He promised that there
would be some legislation enacted during
the next session that would be of an adj

BOARD OF FINANCE.
OFFICIAL
Continued


The reasons why approval is withheld
from the foregoing resolutions and the
items therein contained can be shown by
giving the reasons in detail:
First-W. G. German is entitled accord
ing to the resolution of you Board to
draw a salary for services at the rate of
81, 800 per anpum or $3.50 per month.
The resolutions herewith returned so
far as,they affect Mr.. Germans attempt to
pay him u salary at the rate of $4,000 per
annum or $l66.6 6 per month.
Mr. German was appointed Clerk of the
Board OF Finance at a salary of fifteen
| hundred dollars per annum Minutes,
page 6, 1SS9-90. Mr.. German was pro-
yided with an additional salary as fol-
lows:
"Resolved, That the additional salary
| to be paid to VIM. G. German as Commit
| tee Clerk be aud is hereby fixed at S25 per
month";" y P. "a, Minutes 1SS9-90.
Following the appointment at the rate of
fifteen hundred dollars per annum n
the resolution providing for additional
salary at $25 per month or $500 per an
mum, the following resolution was passed
| May l, 1890:
Resolved. That from and after the
twenty-tith day OF April last, the salary
of the Clerk of this Board shall be eigh-
teen hundred dollars per aunum, payable
in regular monthly payments"
1t is plain to me that the salary of 81, 500
| and the extra pay at the rate of $500 per
annum were merged in the resolution of
May LIST, 1890, which fixed the salary as
an entirety at eighteen hundred dollars
per annum, / find no other resolution
| since that OF May LIST, 1890. affecting Mr..
Germans salary.
MI. German has drawn since Deem
Der. 1890, $685. go per month, Or at the rate
of So. 600 per annum through July, 1892.
the discrepancy coming to my notice IN
August for which month OF August Mr..
German accepted for full services
Finance $3.50 for August, 1892.
In December, 1890, Mr.. German accepted
a warrant for his services as CLERK of the
Board of Finance for November. 1890, for
the sum of $3.50; there is no resolution fol-
lowing sue payment OF November. 1890.
increasing or changing his salary; never
theless, he drew in January, 1891, the
warrant for his services for December,
1890. FOR $780, SO, and this continued each
mouth through July, 1892. or a total of
twenty months the excess of SIC. 66,
amounting to S333.20
Second, Thomas G. McKeou is entitled.
according to the resolution of your Board,
to draw a salary for services at the rate OF
81. 500 per aunum or $125 per month. The
resolutions herewith returned so far as
they affect Mr.. Mckeon attempt TO pay
him a salary at, the rate of 1880 per
annum or $3.50 per month. Such resolu-
tions do not agree with the resolutions
appointing McKeon or fixing his salary
Mr.. McKeon's appointment was fore
Swallowed by the following resolution
which passed September "a, 1889.
Resolved, That the position held by
John L. NJ. KayIar as Clerk to the City
Collector, and detailed as Assistant CLERK
to the Board of Finance, be and is hereby
declared vacant FROM October l, 1882
minutes p. A. 1ss9-90. which resolution
was followed by the following com
municaiion;

enthusiasm with which certain ex-
cellent citizens of Greenville rush.
upon they know not what in their
eager desire for rapid transit. They
mean all they say. They want an
, elevated road. They are willing to
put up their money to the extent of
the limit they name. They see very
clearly that there is patronage enough
to make the road pay, and with the
combination of all these things they
think the business is as good as done.
1t is noteworthy that not one of
the gentlemen in the scheme is a prac-
tical railroad man. That is the rea-
son there is so much confidence. One
practical man would tell them that,
while they overcahe the preliminary
difficulties, their rivals could cut the
ground from under their feet ten
times over. 1t is only necessary to
look at the history of the projects
that have failed in this city to see
how herculean are the difficulties to
be overcome.
There is n proposal in the pub
lished plan which is alone sufficient
to utterly defeat and wreck it. 1t is
proposed to carry the road through
Bramhall avenue from Ocean to Jack
son. Does any business man seriously
thiak that is possible? Why, it would
take five years of litigation and a
fortune in money to force a right OF
way over that one short furlong. The
avenue is lined with handsome private
dwellings, and there is not one pro
perty owner on it who would not op'
pose the road with every effort he
could put forth.
This is only a matter of detail !; but
it is enough to show the lack Of rea-
understanding of the problem behind
the whole plan. If these gentlemen
have 800, 900 to invest in rapid tran
sit to Greenville, the best thing they
can do is go to Mr.. Thurston and see
if they cannot make some sort of deal
with him.

tions.
This is as it should be. Best Of all,
those who know Mr.. Stanton know it
is not mere talk. They know that he
means what he says and will make
good his promises. He is an ambitious
man of the type that seeks success
through doing right. Mr.. STATIONS
ambition is not limited to the Sherif'S
office and he will give the best SER
vice he is capable Of because it is the

ing ''lawful money" to a "gold payment" debt?
 With this true of the interest it becomes true of the principal, and the injury to us is increased an hundred fold.
 We of Arizona expect to pay this debt, repudiate is not in our vocab- ulary, and are willing to pay it in "lawful money" That debt, prin- cipal and interest, is named and measured in dollars; as these dol lars increase in value more of our productions must be forthcoming for each annual payment. With the progressive appreciation in value of the gold dollar, have you estimated what we will have paid in our productions at it's date of maturity?
 The despatches inform us that the friends of honest currency, law ful money, in the Senate opposed the passage of this amendment on exactly these grounds. How do you reconcile the dual position you have assumed: the representa- tive of a silver constituency and 8 believer in the principles and right fulness of bi-metalism, and yet the introducer and supporter of an es- sentiaIly gold standard measure, and an opponent of the friends of silver in the Senate of the United States?
 It is said you aspire to seat in that august body. Is this an earn est of the position you would take if vested with voting power there?
 By your position you have stul- tified Arizona as & sincere advocate of the principle and practice of bi' metalism; you have antagonized the most sincere of her friends; and you have cast discredit upon sale of her obligations, already made upon a basis fair and satis- factor y to both sides.

No one likes a good meal better than Jack Stwart, the old 49er, and no one knows better how to cook one than Tom Monts. who was assisting Jack about his place
 A few mornings ago Tom had cooked a royal breakfast of the best that Yuma affords, and when ready, announced the fact to lack. It so happened that just at that time, two customers came in and with them @ Mexican. They stop ped at the bar to oil up and the hungry Mexican passed on into the back yard. Looking into Jacks dining room he saw an excellent meal on the table smoking hot, and he proceeded to help himself to it. Jack waited on his custom CTS, told them a little story, as he knows how, and then went to eat his breakfast which the dusky son of Aztec land had already devour- ed. Jack just took that Mexican by the hair of the head, and he cleaned up the backyard with him. mopped out the saloon, swept down the sidewalk, levelled the ballast on the railroad track, and made it generally interesting for the poor lean lank hungry fellow, whose blood marked the different por- tions of the town on which the clean up took place. He may get just as hungry again, but one thing is certain, it will be a long time before he eats up another of Jack Stwart's porterhouse steaks and fresh eggs.
