Adjutant-General Peck couldn't
answer the question as to what he
had done during his term of office
that he hadn't charged extra for. II
he doesn't know, no one does, and
the matter is bound to remain a
bothersome mystery, for which the
board of estigation is responsible.
This is not in criticism of the invcs-
tigating board however. 1t should
be kept at work, and the pity of the
matter is that its proceedings must
stop at this interesting stage, when
some of the riches of Vermont's
mine of scandal are being uncov-

The report of the JOINT committee
appointed to investigate the expen-
ses of state officials bears pretty
heavily on General Peck, as it he
were responsible for all the extraor-
binary expenditures over which a
quite justifiable fuss has been raised.
1t is hardly fair to the adjutant gen.
eral, who has merely been sailing
along in the same boat with other
officials who have carried the mis-
management of state affairs to the
point where an investigation was
demanded, as it should have been
years ago. More than one official
was concerned in the scattering of
the states money and if every one
of them is brought to account it will
be allowed that the business of
housekeeping is fairly well begun.

.oprIcIAL PAPER OF TIE CRY.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JAN. 5, 1881
A ORACLE.

Mr.. A. A. Wise, of this city, is agent
for a gentleman connected with the
Shoe and Leather Reporter, OF Boston.
This gentleman has q small prop 'rty
at the springs; and yearly, when MI.
Wise has q settlement with him, the
agent adds a word or two on the
financial situation. r Gently Mr.. Wise
wrote:
If the west and south did not have
enough senators that were large and broad
enough to legislate. for the wnoie country
and not for a few little four by nine state
In the extreme east, the west and south

they could carry out their plans there
would soon be another revolution.
On this the eastern 40 comments !:
The campaign of education, winch was
carried on with such thorough vigor and
wholesome eff last year, probably did
not extend Into thu Territories, or else
tight would have penetrated into this dark
ened soul. We are quite sure tnis doughty
New Mexican has not the least idea that
what he Gays is reprehensible from the
standpai I'M Of morals. We,reAly believe
that he regards himself as an injuI ed indi-
vidual, and looks upon capitalists. wher.
ever they are, as his despoilers. As likely
as not 1t has never occurred to him that be
10 at ell culpable. He is an unconscious
asssilaut of the rights of property. There
are multitudes of ci liens of the republic
who are In as demoralized a condition as
he is, and they are sorely in need of en-
iightonment.
1t strikes THE OPTIc that the east
ern man may possibly be the one who
Is in need.of enlightenment, and who
is suffering from on obtuseness Of
moral apprehension. Certainly there
is nothing which SO benumbs the
moral sensibilitics and 30 darkens the
intelligence as does self interest. By
the contraction of the currency, by the
destruction of silver as a money of re
demption, the rich are made richer
and;the poor are made poorer, and
that too without any effort on the part
of either class. OF course, then, the
benefited class are blinded by their
own interests, to wrongs of the other
class.
Furthermore, we hear a good deal,
in these days, of the "rights of prop
erty," just as in old times a great deal
was heard OF the ssdivine rights OF
kings" The last has long since been
exploded. Just as the former will be.
Rig hts cannot conflict. There are rights
of manhood, rights of property. rights
of individuals, rights of communities,
and so on almost indefinitely. Bni
amidst them all. no mans right is an
other mans wrong. Capital or prop
erty can have no rights which conflict
with labor or manhood. The great
question is to decide the common
ground on which all these rights equal
lie. 1t is decidedly probable that the
selfshness aud egotism of the Shoe and
Leather Reporter man, have put him
much more in the wrong than have the
common sense and honesty of heart
mt the real estate agent.

II is curious to observe the difficulty
encountered in getting the idea OF an
independent newspaper INTO the heads
OF people WAC grew up with the notion
of the newspaper as an "organ.
A couple Of decades ago, nearly al
American newspapers were "organs'
Of ono or the other Of the great parties
and very many of them we're, in addi-
lion to this, "organs'' Of some faction
or OF some individual within the party
There were always some exceptions,
but even the papers which were not
ssorgans" were not always by any
means, properly speaking, independ-
ent; for the neutral paper is a very
different thing.
There were papers which avoided
identifying themselves strongly with
any principle more open to dispute
than the ten commandments, or at
lacking any public character who hac
not brought himself under the notice
Of the criminal law.
OF truly independent papers, papers
every biz as emphatic and aggressive
as the "organs," but not bound dowr
6y any obligation to party, faction OF
individual, there were extremely few
All this is now changed; but 1t is slov
business getting the idea Of the aggres
sive, independent newspaper int
.ome peoples heads. Especially
this true in New Mexico.
