The Hospital Matter.
ED. KELLY,
Sccty.

In yesterdays issue OF the Tidings
appear several interviews with the pa.
tents at the hospital. Most of them,
rs a matter OF course, cxoneratc the
Steward from the charges of neglect
OF duty and drunkenness made against
him. This Is not to be wondered at
when We consider all the circum.
stadces surrounding the interviews
and the purpose of the Interviewer, "a
disclosed i'll the comment following
the interviews. The conclusion ar
rived at by the Commissioners after a
thorough investigation of the charges
preferred, and The subsequent repri-
mand OF the Steward place affairs at
the hospital in an entirely different
light than that thrown on them by the
Tidings' interviews. This action Of
the Board was known, or should have
been known, to the reporter who re.
ported the interviews and wrote the
comment thereon. Does any sane
person in Elko county, or anywhere
else, believe that the Commissioners
would have reprimanded Mr.. Arm.
strong for his conduct rs Steward if
there were no cause for complaint
and everything was as it should he at
Ii hospital: 1t is an insult to any
man OF average intelligence To ut
tempt to make him believe ANYTHING
OF the kind. Does anyone believe
that a motion TO request the Commits.
sioners to Immediately remove the
Hospital Steward would have re.
ceived the votes Of eight members of
the recent Grand Jury. if the charges
they were asked to investigate were
IL is idle to talk or pub
llsh such nonsen SO. Tho friends of
MIR. Armstrong would employ their
and energies to a much better
advantage in trying to keep him So.
Der than in attempting to stuff such
arrant nonsense down the throats of
the people. Such a curse we advise
them TO take.
The Tidings says that "Mr. Arm.
strong may have been i~ndiscreet in
the use OF ~stimulants(?), but he has
not neglected his duty" This may
all be true, but will the Tidings
please tell us when the limit OF in
discreetness is reached and intemper-
ance begins? Is it simply indisrcet.
ness or n clear case of jim. jams when
a man sees a coyote with Il white
breast and black wings?
As the Tidings breaches the gospel
OF temperance and is the great advo.
ate OF that cause in Nevada, we would
be pleased to have il fix the dividing
line between sobricty and intemper.
ance. Unless it can do this to n dead
certainty we fear that it's influence NJ

The grand jury in session last week
made a very interesting report to
Judge Talbot. The recommends
tons Of the jury that guide boards be
erected at the forks OF the principal
county roads und that an expert be
employed to expert the books Of the
county officers should be put i'll force
by the Commissioners.
There has been more or less specu.
lation INDUCED i'll by "A good many
citizens of the county as Ia why the
receipts of the Recorders office are SO
much less under the salary syst5m
than they were under the fee system.
1t was currently claimed that under
the fee system that office was worth
from four 10 six thousand dollars Il
year while under the salary system
the office has not been self sustain
;ag. The examination of the books
OF the officers should. however, be
extended " a greater length Of time
than that recommended 10y the grand
jury. The law changing the offices
from the fee to the salary system went
into effect on the first day Of January,
lS92. and the books should be expert.
ell from at least that time. This
woulu certainly show whether there
were any grounds forthe speculations
mentioned above.
Affairs ut the county hospital came
i'll for a share OF the attention Of the
grand jury and its report does not
surprise the INDEPENDENT. When
we take INTO consideration the efforts
made by one grand iuryman TO pre-.
vent any investigation of hospital
affairs and the neutrality-suspicious.
submitted to the jury, we are sur.
prised that IA motion to instruct the

0TATE OF NEVADA,
COUNTY OF ELKo,
To the Hon. Geo. F. Talbot, Judge
OF the Fourth Judicial District Of
the State Of Nevada, in and for the
County of Elko:
We, your Grand Jury empannelled

report rs follows:
There have been presented for our
consideration two cases for burglary,
one case for unlawful branding OF
stock, n case for murder. one case
for breaking ditch, one ease for
breaking dam, one case for unlawful
killing OF hog, one case for assault
with a deadly weapon, all OF which
we have ignored.
Our attention has also been called
to the following matters:
First-The necessity OF placing
guide boards at the forks OF the prin.
cipal county roads, rs required by the
Statutes OF Nevada, Section i63.
which was referred to the County
Commissioners for their action there.
upon.
Second-The violation Of the Reeve
nue. Laws by the Pullman Palace
Car Co, which we referred to the
District Attorney for his investiga.
ton.
Third-The matter OF the present
condition OF the construction of the
County High School building, and
having investigated the same. we find
the foundation has been laid and
work suspended until the coming
Spring, that no money has been paid
to the contractor by the county. hat
the county bonds for the erection OF
the building have been sold and the
money deposited with the County
Treasurer.
Fourth-Our attention has been
called to the condition OF some OF the
streets in the town OF Elko, which,
on the advice of the District Attorney, |
We referred to him for his action
thereon.
Fifth-Our attention has also been
called to the conduct OF the County
Hospital Steward, and, after a very
careful and thorough investigation. |
regret TO find a feeling existing |
between the officers OF the County |
Hospital which we believe not con-
lucive to the welfare OF the patients
therein. We have referred the mat.
to the County Commissioners, and
the assurance tint the trouble
will be remedied, as they have already
investigated the matter.
The different committie appoint.
