Zoo. The public gets no benefit from
I the use of its money, but on the con-
trary it pays something for its safe
keeping.
3rd.-As it does not authorize the
su Injecting Of public funds to the haz-
zard of trade or banking operations,
| the occasions for it's loss are Exceeding
ly few, and this risk is amply compen-
stated for by the pay received by the
treasurer.
4tb.-Tbe rule is one of necessity,
s. nee the city has no other means of
support IT, an the taxes derived from
the citizens, and when these have been
paid the citizens have done their whole
duty, and if these moneys are not forth
coming on demand. the city is unable
to carry on its ope ra tions.
In conclusion, we desire to enter our
protest against the principle of cOntin-
uing any man in custody of public
funds beyond the second term. 1t has
rarely happened that these funds have
ever ben lost except by some one who
has has long been 10 Office aud secured
the entire confidence of the public.
We do no n'end this as any reflection
upon Mr.. Ease EFT Coz fidence in a pub
bile official don't pro ect the public
on the contrary, it is precisely that
which makes such defalcations easy
1t is simple question of principle,
that ought to be observed. M matter
how honest and pure particular cffi-
cial in office may be. This principle
together with coed bond, is the only
adequate protection the public have.
1t was uuwise to elect Mr.. Fassett the
third time, a great blunder to do so the
fourth time, ard i. would be crime
on the rart of the voter to do SO fifth
time. This applies to any and every
other treasurer. Side by side with this
long continuance of Office, has been an
equal long refrainine from any effort
to recover these funds until. if the
right to do go is not already barred by
limi ia tiOns, it will be within the mex,
few days.
