For Benefit Of County Commissioners.

From reliable authority reports have
beer received that in several counties of
the territory the boards of county om-
missioners are pursuing a very peculiar,
as we'll as an unlawful of pay
ing accounts. The substance of the re-
ports is as follows:
AT the end of every quarter claims
against the counties are pro rated, but it
is necessary to have a representative
present in order to receive a pro rata
payment, and all claims which are not
represented in person are not included
in the payments. This is a direct vio-
lation of the law, and the county COM
missioners who take part in such pro-
ceedings are liable to prosecution on
their bonds for malfeasance of office.
For the benefit of boards of county com
missioners the statute governing the
| payment of claims against counties, is
here published.
Sections Nos. 300 and SOL of title w,
Compiled Laws Of 1897, provide that:
Section 800. Allfees, salaries and per-
quisites of the different officers of the
several counties. cities, towns. boards of
education, school districts, district at
toneys and any and all other officials
shall be reduced in the event there Is an
insufficient collection Of money with
which to pay them as provided by law
for their services in any current year so
that there shall be no violation of this
| act as to mourning Indebtedness for any
current year over and above the money
| actually collected for that current year.
Sec. 301. In the event that there is
an insufficient amount Of money col
lected during any current year with
which to pay for the services, fees and
salaries of the several officers mentioned
in section 300, then and in that event the
said officers and all creditors shall re-
ceive in full payment of their respective
claims each his pro rata share of the
money collected, and the payment OF
such pro rata part shall be made quar-
terly between all officers and creditors
and In the event of insufficient amount
of money to pay in full any one quarter
the officers and creditors remaining un.
paid shall not be paid that amount unit
the salaries and expenses Of the next
succeeding quarter OF quarters shall
have been paid, and In the event all thu
officers and creditors of any one quar-
ter shall have been paid in full and Their,
remains any money for the current year
| the same shall then be distributed pre-
rata among the said officers and cred
ttors.
1t can easily be seen that the statute
is mandatory upon county officials tt
prorate all money collected in any ont
quarter among the creditors of the
county, whether represented or not. Al
claimseagainst a county must be includ.
ed in the amount prorated. 1t is the du'
ty Of the district attorneys to see tina
the provisions Of the law are carried out
and IL they fail in that duty they are
likewise liable to action on their bonds
for neglect of duty.

The Democratic party is max'ns fine
promises these days, and is injecting a
little patriotism into the the various
platforms it's conventions are adopting
over the country. But what's bred in the
bone will be sure to come out, no matter
how carefully it may be covered hp ana
concealed, and the bray of the burfo
will ere long give the true nature Of the
party away from beneath the lions
skin. The Democratic party was naver
able to conceal it's real character and
tendencies for n length OF time. for
the ears and the bray are ever sure to
betray the real nature beneath, The
Democratic party is a very unsafe party
to tie up to, and it's record in the past
ought to convince the thinking "cte,
that the counsels Of that party are not
to be depended upon.

The yellow journals are still snarling
at the president and his cabinet about
the conduct of the war, but the election
will soon be over and then there will be
peace. Just at the present time most
any old thing will do for an excuse to
besmirch men holding official positions
under a Republican administration, and
the war question would as well be used
as anything else. In the end no n will
be damaged. If the papers Of question
able regulations get any satisfaction out
of their attacks, they are enjoying the
situation and no ought to complain
While doing that they are not into some
other mischief which might be Of injury
to the country.

From the fact that all claims that are
not included in the quarterly settle
ments are barred thereafter it can be
easily understood that gross injustice is
done when boards of county commits
sioners pursue the method reported from
different counties, and it may require a
lesson taught before the courts of the
territory to bring county commissioners
to do their duty in making settlements
at the end of each quarter.
The section of the law here quoted is
also referred to the commissioners of
San Miguel county for their careful
Study. .. e.-r-

Senator Kyle's Position.
New York Evening Sum-

Senator Kyle. of South Dakota, an
nounces that hereafter he will act with
the Republicans in the United States
senate. Heretofore he has been classed
as an independent. the only independents,
in fact, in both houses of congress with
free silver leanings. On the currency
question he has voted with the Demo
Gratis and the silver Republicans, but
on protection and other issues his vote
has been cast with the Republicans.
His change of attitude is a revolt from
the extreme populism and free silver
sentiment of South Dakota. This. can
be better represented by senator Petit
grew, 1.-THE bowling hyena of the west
as one Of his colleagues describes him.

There is an old saying h a the Demo-

people of the United States have not for

The Santa Fe county Republicans are
sanguine of success. They ought to be
successful. The Republican county all
m~inistration here since January 1, 1897,
has administered the official affairs Of
the county in an honest and efficient
manner The public funds have been
honestly collected, honestly accounted
for and honestly expended. This is n
good record. On the other hand, under
the recent Democratic administrations
the reverse was the rule and the fact.

The Recent Republican Convention at
Albuquerque.
(Raton Range.

The Republican territorial convention
held at Albuquerque last Saturday, was
very largely attended and quite enthus'
iaStic. But two names were presented
for the nomination for delegate to con,
gress, Captain Max. Luna and Hon.
Pedro Perea. But M ballot was taken,
which resulted, 102 for Perca and 62 for
Luna. The platform indorses the last
national platform, the national admins
tration and Governor Otero, and pays a
fitting tribute to the loyalty and valor of
our soldiers in the war with Spain.

Organ.

That assumed extra loyalty to silver
which shoots over the mark and lands
on the enemy's side is not to be com
mended. There is evidence of this
eccentricity in the present campaign in
this state. 1t reminds one of the cor
poration advocate in Il legislature who
offers anti-corporation bills of so radical
a nature that sensible men will not vote
for them. The defeat of his measure
gains the point he had in view-no legis-
lation at all on the subject.

MEANING OF THE PROTOCOL.
Spanish Commissioners Would Like a
Modified Inter pr citation.

Spanish Comm issioners Would Like a
Modified Interpretation.
PARIS, Oct. 13.-The sittings of the
joint commissions of the United States
and Spain, were devoted, according to
The Gaulois, to discussion OF the con.
struction it is possible to give to two
questions in the protocol. The Philip.
pine question, The Gaulois adds. was
discussed incidentally, the American
commissioners seeking to impose a
system of compensation for claiming
the entire group, by assuming the
debt, provided Spain guarantees the
Cuban debt.
The Spsniards, it further appears,
wish the United States to assume the
Cuban debt, and to hand over to Spain
all the war material In Cuba and Porto
Rico.
The discussion, still according to The
Gaulois, was very animated. Judge
Day, the president of the American
commission, and Senior Montero Rios,
the president of the Spanish com mis-.
sion, having received precise instruc.
tions from their respective govern.
ments, the Americans consider that
they cannot discuss the principles
forming the basis of the protocol, to
which the Spaniards reply that. the
protocol wass signed at a critical mo.
ment and under SO pressing a neces.
sity that it cannot be considered as
expressing the sovereign will of free
nation.
