REMOVED FROM OFFICE.

Chas. W, Pugh, secretary of the live
 stock sanitary commission under the
 Cameron regime, who was requested
 to hand in his resignation, refused to comply, taking the stand that the new commission is not vested with proper authority to oust him. A temporary secretary was appointed some time ago, and tho commission at a meeting held on the 9th inst. declared Mir.
 Pugh removed, and directed that Q communication be at once addressed to Mir. Pugh, requesting him to preseat any claim Le might have against the board for back salary; that he render a statement of all moneys received by him during his term of office. Chair man Stratton suggested that the com munication should also include a re- quest for the return of all material and matter due the board, as we'll as all records of transfers, beside on explana- ton of any shortage of money exhibited by the difference in cash on hand and | the check book. In this shape the communication was ordered addressed.
 As the revised live stock laws (Sec. | l5) authorizes the commission to ap- point secretary, the authority also carries with it the power of removal. The proper thing for Mir Pugh to have done was to hand in his resigna- ton when the old board was deposed, and not put the commission to the ne cessity of peremptorily removing him.

The Liberal is informed that Chacon, the murderer who escaped from the jail at Solomonville some time ago under such suspicious circumstances, has been seen several times near Morenci. He makes no particular effort to hide himself It is supposed that if he is recaptured that he will be able to tell story that will not be very complimentary to the officials of Graham county, and as the officers do not want this story told they are not very anxious to recapture him. A pull with the officers is a good thing to have sometimes. s.-Lordsburg Liberal.

If there is one thing in which the people of Arizona would rejoice it would be the defeat of that capitol bill in congress by which another Sl00,0 debt Is sought to be loaded on the people. If Mark Smith consults the people of Arizona on this question he will have that bill killed at the earliest opportunity. After we are admitted to statehood is time enough to build a state capitol. Until then let Uncle Sam pay rent for necessary house room for officials. Bulletin.

TARIFF CHANGES.
Mckinley still Believes in His Pro-
tective Policy.

The country is clearly opposed to any need
less additions to the subject of1nternal taxa
ton, except in time of war; and is commit
ted by Its latest popular utterance to the
system Of tariff taxation.,=E can be no
misunderstanding, either, about the principle
upon which this tariff taxatiDtFsshal he Low
led. Nothing has ever beer made palmer at
a general election than that the controlling
principle Is the raising of revenue on i'm
ports In Jealous care for American interests
ana American labor The people have de-
clared that such legislation Should be had as
Will give ample protection and encourage
ment to the industries and the DEVELOPMENT
OF our country. 1t is, therefore, earnestly
hoped and expected that congress WtlI at
the earliest practicable moment, enact rev
enue legislation that shall be fair reasonable
conservative and just and which while SIM
plying sufficient revenue for-public purposes
VIII still be signally beneficial and helpful
to every section, and every enterprise of the
people. To this policy we are all, of what
ever party, firmly bound blythe voice of the
people-a power vastly more potential than
the expression of any political platform The
paramount duty of congress is to stop de-
nclences by the restoration of that protective
legislation, which has always been the frmest
prop of the treasury. The passage of such
law or laws would strengthen the credit
of the government both at home and abroad
and go far towards stopping the drain upon
the gold reserve held for the redemption of
our currency, which has been heavy and
well nigh constant for several years.
In the revision of the tariff ESPECIAL at
tentlon should be given to the re-enactment
and extension Of the reciprocity principle of
the law of 1890, under which so great a
stimulus was given to our foreign trade in
new and advantageous markets for our sur
plus agricultural and manufactured products
The brief trial given this legislation amply
!astlnes further experiment and additional
discretionary power in the making of com
mercial treaties, the end ins viaw always to
De the opening of new markets for the prod
ucts of our country by granting concessions
to the products Of other lands that we needed

not involve any loss Of labor. to our own peo-
pie, but tend to increase theiSemploym

and, when they stepped on the raised
platform, Mr.. Mckinley felt called
upon to acknowledge the reception by
bowling right and left. He then took
a seat in the big leather chair. The
press against the stand was so terrific
that women screamed with pain, and
several tainted.
Meantime the procession from the
senate continued. The senators, well
dressed and imposing, followed by the
more nondescript members Of the
house, sifted into their seats. Then
came the dignified and pompous dip
lomatic corps, rigid with gold braid and
aflame with ribbons, headed by the
British ambassador. The gold plate,
red coats. horse hair plumes. high
boots and shining swords, were enough
to pale the splendors Of any spectac-
ular drama.
The governors of states, the general
Of the army and the admiral of the
navy with the officers VINO had re-
ceived the thanks of congress, all re-
splendent in full uniform, made up
the rear, and were closely followed by
the distinguished assemblage of men
and women who crowded the senate
galleries.
All this time, 10000 people vera
straining to keep up the constant and
tremendous applause while Mr.. Nc
Kinley surveyed the crowd, occasion
ally looking aloft at the boys on the
dome, he smiled and bowed.
Then Mr.. Mckinley arose and I'M
covered while Chief Justice Fuller, in
his flowing robes, administered the oath
in the presence of that tremendous
multitude. The new president kissed
the large g1lt-edged bible presented by
the bishops of the African Methodist
church to seal his OATH
Holding the manuscript of his inau-
gural in one hand he turned to the
multitude of people, and lifting up his
hand as If in admonition for order,
ne began his inaugural address.

they waited patiently. A delay after
Mr.. Mckinley had delivered his in
augural occurred, owing to the fact
that 1t was deemed advisable for Presi-
dent Mckinley to partake Of lunch at
the capitol before resuming the pro-
cession back to the White House.
whence he had emerged a private citi-
zen earlier in the day, instead Of fol-
lowing the former custom and hating
the parade while he took lunch at the
White House.
AS President Mckinley and ex-PresI-
dent Cleveland, arm-in- arm emerged
from the capitol after their lunch, the
cavalry buglers sounded a salute, the
troopers came to present arms" and
the great throngs pressed forward to
catch glimpse of the new president.
Cheer on cheef went up, frightening
the horses and making some confusion
in bringing forward the handsome
turnout which was to bear the presi-
Dental party to the White House.
Mr.. Mckinley took the rear seat on
the left, with Mr. Cleveland beside him
on the right. On the front seat were.
Senator Sherman muffled In a fur
collar, and Senator Mitchell from Wis
consin.
Marshal Porter gave the word to adj
vance. the troopers swung into COM
pany front. followed by the presidential
carriage drawn by four sleek bays 1t
was one continuous ovation from the
start.
The president raised his hat time
and again, bowling and smiling his
acknowledgements. From windows, roofs
and trees rang continuous cheers. while
flags and handkerchiefs were waved In
demonstrative greetings. Mr.: cMcKln-

1t is inspiring too, Is remember that no

est destiny and to the honor of the American
exalted mankind and advanced the cause Of
freedom throughout the world and immeas-
urably strengthened the precious free insti-
buttons which we enjoy The people love and
will sustain these institutions. The great es-
sential to our happiness and prosperity is that
we adhere to the principles upon which the
government was established and insist upon
their faithful observance Equality of rights
must prevail and our laws be always and
everywhere respected and obeyed. We may
have failed in the discharge Of our full duty
as citizens Of the great republic, but it is
'consollng and encouraging to realize that free
speech, free press free Thought, free schools,
the free and unmolested right of religious lib
erty and worship and flee and fair elections
are dearer and more universally enjoyed to-
day than ever before. These guarantees must
be sacredly preserved and wisely strength
ened
The constituted authorities must be cheer
fully and vigorously upheld. Lynchings must
not be tolerated in a great, and civilized coun-
try like the United States Courtsz1not mobs
must execute the penalties of the law. The
preservation of public order, the right of dis
cussion, the integrity okaeourts and the or

forever the rock of safety upon which our
government securely rests
One Of the lessons taught by the late cleo

swerved from the path of patriotism and

methods rather than by force of arms-and
since it presents to the world the glorious
example of reason and peace, not passion
and war, controlling the relations between
two of the greatest nations of the world, an
example certain to be followed by others, I
respectfully urge the early action of the SEN
ate thereon, not merely as matter Of policy
but duty to mankind.
The Importance and moral influence of the
ratification of such a treaty can hardly be
overestimated In the cause of advancing
civilization 1t may well engage the best
thought of the statesmen and people and
every country and l cannot but consider it
fortunate that>-it was reserved to the United
States to have the leadership in so grand a
work. 1t has been the uniform practice of
each president TO avoid, as far as possible
the converting of congress in extraordinary
session. 1t is an example, which under ordi-
nary circumstances and in the absence of a
public necessity, is to be commended. But
a failure to convene the representatives Of
the people in congress in extra session when
it involves neglect of a public duty, places
the responsibility Of such neglect upon the
executive himself.
