We notice with much pleasure in
a Picayune special from Baton
Rouge dated last Wednesday that
our friend Albert Delahoussaye had
been appointed member of Our
city council in place of Mr.. Fred
Mouton, resigned. The friends of
the governor could not have recon-
better man, and one more
fitted for the position. That Albert
will keep an eye singly on the welfare
of the people of the town, goes
without saying.

IN THE COURSE of the campaign THE REPUBLICAN had occasion to refer to Dr.
 J. M. Evans as an obstructionist ins-
 tigated by the candidate for mayor on the anti Citizens ticket. The incident to which reference was made was the doctors refusal to grant right of way to the S. F. X P. road. The matter was taken into court; the right of way was condemned and the doctor was awarded damages the amount of which was made up by public minded citizens. Notwithstanding the condemnation the doctor passvely refused to execute a deed for the right of way until yester- day when he was compelled to do so by an order of the court. By his obstinacy
 he has thus entailed additional and un- necessary expense which must be borne by his more public spirited townsmen.

the appointment of his successor, w. K. Meade, one Of the most honest and efficient federal officials in the United States becomes private citizen.
 His was no chance appointment. His capabilities, bravery and integrity were we'll known before and the wisdom of his selection at that time is now ap- parent.
 There is really more danger of a United States marshal doing too much rather than of not doing the things that should be done. Marshal Paul is absolutely open to no criticism on either score. Even his political enemies have been silenced by his official conduct and he goes out of office leaving q unani- nous regret among Republicans which is largely shared by Democrats Of his district.
 His successor, MT. Meade, assumes the office under disadvantage which is unfortunately rare. His conduct will be popularly measured by that of his pre- iecessor and any shortcoming will be quickly and strongly criticised whereas if he followed less able man his per formances would be judged by les: difficult standard.

THE REPUBLICAN has dwelt at length and with frequency upon the unjust and unreasonable opposition to the present city administration. It believes it has met all objections and disclosed the animus of all attacks. It would prefer now to spend no more space or time in this direction and hopes all malcontents will come into line and assist in carrying out the pol. icy of the administration. It has re. trained from speaking of many things particularly damaging to many of the objectors and will not do so unless there is persistence in their course oi unfairness and injustice.

WE ARE sorry to observe the opposi- tion of the Gazette to the proposal to take in the additions. Before the elec- tion it represented itself as in conjunc- ton with the Alexander forces in favor of this and al! other Improvements. It's repudiation now of that policy may be taken as evidence that the anti Citizens were saying one thing and meaning another.

GOVERNOR HUGHEs made two good appointments yesterday, those of Gen !. NJ. E. Collins and Mir. c. B. Ming to be members of the asylum board. Gen. Collins is noted chiefly for his public spirited character and for his adminis- trative ability, two qualifications which highly qualify him for place on the board. If MT. Ming possesses the latter these qualifications in less degree it is because he lack the years of active experience.

 Then follows the schedule ot rates and the acknowledgement of the pub fisher before notary public.
 Does anyone believe the Herald could collect s7 500 from the government for six columns two months if it truthfully filled out an affidavit like the above ? Business men who are paying it less than s20 per column per month will not at least believe that the Herald could honestly collect so large bill from the government for so small service. The Heralds advertising space is known to be worthless and much of it is now filled with dead advertisements. When it, therefore, collected s7,600 for less than $500 worth of work it perpetrated the rankest jobbery ever successfully accomplished in Arizona. It should keep still on the jobbery business, lest its unsavory record be still further made public.

IT TT UNDERsTooD that Secretary Hoke Smith will order an investigation into the fraudulent charge of $7,600 made by the Herald against the government for less than $500 worth of work. Secretary Smith IS determined that such shameless piece of jobbery shall not go unpunished fl he can prevent it.
