IN another part of this issue we publish the official records in full, showing the illegal fees and salary charged and collected by ex-Gov- ernor Murphy and others connected with his administration, while he, N. o. Murphy, was governor of this Territory, Such acts as said statement shows are in relation to the sale of Territorial bonds.
 We ask that our readers carefully peruse said records, each and every item thereof, also the law quoted from the revised statutes of the United States, and bring to them selves square in the face the fact, us 10 whether or not a public office is PUBLIC TRusT. or q private SNAP. Do the offices belong to the OFFICERS or to the PEOPLE. In these latter days, that seems to be great ques- ton. An officials records Is al- ways open to investigation and II need as should be opened to honest criticism. And when an eX- official again seeks political preferment his past official record should be close Iy scrutinized, so that the people may know as to what to expect oi him in the future. One Of the bounden duties of the people Is, in order to maintain and perpetuatc republican government to keep ir close touch with those holding high political positions, and that car best be done by close and persist cnt criticism of their official acts
 Governor Murphy is now a can dicate of the republican party a' Delegate to Congress, which, noI only means that the people art asked by their ballot to elect hin to the highest position within thei gift, but, should they do so, | means ratification of those officia acts wherein he has collected iron q suffering people the illegal salarl and other chdrges.
 Will he stand the test? Will hi' official acts justify the people II electing him to that most impOrtan position? It is with you; diges all of the facts thoroughly ant then decide. Demand of your pub lie the same fidelity and laithfulnes to public interests that you woul' of your own employee to your pri vate interests. The democrati party place before you, for tha ssme honorable position, John ( Herndon, who is not unknown t the people of Arizona. He to tn manor born is one of them, thor oughly identified with their eac and every interest. He, too, Ina held high political position, and willing to stand on his every ofiicia act. We ask a comparison. Tn records are open, you will find 2 no time has he charged you for e penses "direct and indirect" A no time has he charged you "fC self and one" while on trip to tf east. Give us new blood in th highest positions. Express you selves on the side that will in Il shortest time give Us statehood b voting for the gallent man, thi true and tried friend John c. Herr don.

MADISON, Wis.,, Feb. 27.-The roster
conspiracy case against Governor Peck
and other state officials was called be-
fore Judge SeiEecker in the circuit
court. The plaintiffs asked leave to
amend the allegations by setting up that
the defendants conspired to defraud the
state, and conspiracy to defraud was
a part of that conspiracy. The court
denied the motion, holding that if it
should appear by the testimony that
there was a conspiracy to defraud the
state it would be only part of the evil
dence, and not part Of the cause for
action. The forenoon was spent in ar
guing the right of each of the six de-
PENDANTS to three pre-emptory challenges
OF jurymen. The court held that the
defendants We're not entitled to separate
challenge and must be considered as one
party.

NICARAGUA CANAL,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.--It is the pur-
pose OF the senate committee on foreign
relations to take up Senator Morgan's
bill for the reorganization of the Mic
araguan canal during the present ses-
sion. Senators Morgan and Frye are
both known to be anxious to promote
this enterprise. It is understood that
the president is convinced of the impor-
lance of the canal, and that Secretary
Gresham is also in accord with Senator
Morgan on this subject. The publica-
ton of the testimony taken by this com:
mission in the Hawaiian investigation
contains many illusions to the canal
brought out BY questions asked by these
senators, to demonstrate the importance
of controlling the islands in case the
canal should be built, and to show the
dependence Of one interest on the other.
