other expenses in printing office
 have to be met, whether or no
 there is any money coming from
 subscriptions and advertisements.
 And type and presses wear out and
 have to be renewed. When men
 want personal aud political
 organ and they secure the services
 of man who is capable of giving
 them one, they usually provide
 him the financial means to conduct
 it. The editor of THE OASIS can
 name one newspaper which was started on just that kind of lay.
 Its editor was given 8, 500 and
 was told to start newspaper.
 When the money was gone he was to have more. The people who induced him to start the paper had two banks. The editors check
 was good at either. He never had to stand off any bills of any kind.
 He always drew his check to pay. And for seven years his accounts in both of those banks were in red figures. In the eighth year he got them down to black ink. Now, did the gentlemen who expected to profit by MT. Kings labor do any thing like that? We trow not. If they ever let him have dollar it was charged up and deducted from the first advertising account or job printing bill presented. So Mir. King had to foot all those bills himself. And for some unacconnt- able reason THE OASIS wouldn't get out of the way. Had 1t done so Gas promised by the gentlemen he was serving and let him have the entire printing business in Nogales, he might have been able to meet the bills and float along all right. But instead of that the bills piled up until MT. King broke down beneath load of debt incur red i'll behalf of the gentlemen who wanted personal and political organ in Nogales and has left the town. For twenty-one months he made a gallant struggle, but he finally sunk beneath the burden a victim of misplaced confidence confidence misplaced ill a lot of jim crow politicians who want to hog the loaves and fishes and don't t want to pay anything for help in getting them. His going out was too tame. He would have been perfectly justified in going through the town, singling them out by name and holding them up to public contempt and ridicule.

 without any announcement, simply
 withdrawing his name from the
 editorial head Of the paper, where
 there appeared instead the name of

 it is remarkable that he let go

King was not the first to be smashed by promises of that kind, and he will not ill all likelihood be the last. There was such splendid field here for him that he had only to come in and occupy it. THE OASIS and its editor were so terribly unpopular that with a good newspaper man like Mir. King in the field THE OASIS would collapse within three weeks, and then he would have a monopoly of the field. His would be the sole and only newspaper ill Nogales, and great would his wealth and influence. Oh! Yes They would help him. So he put in his little savings. and started upon his career of glory. And they did "help him." They bought their lead pencils and their note paper and their sheet music at the little store he started in con- junction with his printing office. And perhaps some of them had their lives insured so that he could get little commission out of that. And they hustled up news items for him, and they solicited sub- scriptions and advertisements for him, and they were going to run him for office, and would boost him right to the top shelf of wealth and fame.

BOARD OF CONTROL QUORUM
Democrats Who Broke II Have Not
Gained Anything.

The few Democratic members of the
board of control who countenanced the
breaking up of q quorum of that body
Monday evening for the alleged reason
that President Francois had not ar
ranged his committe appointments to
suit them, have stirred up a mares
nest. A controller who is in a position
to known whereof he speaks and yes
tetday to a Tribune reporter:
president Francois appointments
had been distributed fairly and in a
way to insure Democratic control Of
the majorities and chairmanships. I
don't know why any of the Democrats
should be dissatisfied; if they expect
to use q click with any effect over a
man with as much individuality and
character as Mr.. Francois possesses
they will be disappointed. 1t is certain
the committees will not be changed
at least not changed so as to favor the
Democrats more than was originally
| intended"
The friends of John Gibbons, the
Twentieth ward controller, take serious
exceptions to the biased report of the
meeting in a morning paper which in
| tinated that Mr.. Gibbons had not re-
| ceived the committee appointments he
wished and on that account helped
break up the quorum. Immediately
after roll-call Mr.. Gibbons went into
! the corridor to confer with a gentleman
and while they were conversing word
was bought that the quorum had been
broken. He was in no way concerned
in it,
The intimation that Mr.. Gibbons was
dissatisfied with the appointments is
equally false. President Francois spoke
to him concerning the committees and
was told by Mr.. Gibbons that he
wished nothing for himself, but hc
would like to see the chairmanship of
a certain committee given to certain
Democrat. President Francois fol-
lowed this suggestion. That was the
only appointment in which Mr. Gibbons
was concerned.

health and prosperity. Garden, orchard

THIEF WAS FASTlDIOUS.
He Stole a Dollar Bill with a Frame

Some fastidious thief yesterday pur-
loined not only the first paper dollar

office, but took also the frame enclos-

it was hung from chandelier in the
theater lobby.
The dollar in question was rendered
in payment for tickets by a friend OF

it was framed and hung as a Keep

ton will probably result from the au-
tograph in case any attempt is made
to use the bill.

MONTEFIORE SCHOOL EXERCISES.
Pupils Make All Excellent Showing al
Music Hall Last Night.

Last night at Music hall the annual
public exercises of the Montefiore
Hebrew school took place. They con-
sisted of an entertainment by the
pupils, address by officers of the school
and a social for the parents of the
pupils and patrons of the school. 1t
was like it's predecessors, a very en-
joyable affair and a source of deep
qualification to those interested in the
progress of the children of the school,
The chief event was the presentation
of the drama, queen Esther"-in Eng
lish-by the pupils. 1t was given in a
style that spoke volumes in praise of
those who had so successfully drilled
the young actors. They spoke their
lines in a way that betokened they ap-
preciated their meaning, and they car
ried themselves on the stage like pro-
fessionals. No company of boy and
girl amateurs could do it better. The
parts were filed as follows;
