NOT so.

THE OASIS states that Governor Murphy when he approved the Santa Crnz county bill intended the new county should be officered by republicans, but now most of them have been replaced by demo- crats. Well, it is true that the governor did dispose of all of the offices to republicans. but the peo- pie of Santa Cruz county wouldn't have 1t that way and the result was the resignation of a lot of appointees who were succeeded ty democrats. It was case where the governor proposed but the people disposed of the offices. s.--Star

The San Francisco Call nas recently published an expose oi the fraudulent and corrupt manipula- ton of civil service examinations as conducted by the local board of civil service examiners at Nogales. The subject matter published in the Call is all susceptible of proof in fact has been proved. Upon page 4o5, volume 22, United States statutes at large, may be found the law applying to these cases. It reads as follows:
 SECTION 5. That any said commissioner, examiner, copyist or messenger or any person in the the public service who shall will fully and corruptly, by himself or in cooperation with one or more other persons, defeat, deceive or obstruct any person in respect of his or her right of examination ac- cording to any such rules or regu- lations, or who shall willfully, cor ruptly and falsely mark, grade, est innate or report upon the examina- tion or proper standing of any person examined hereunder, or aid in so doing, or who shall willfully corruptedly make any false repre- sentations concerning the same or concerning the persons examined, or who shall willfully and corrupt ly furnish to any person any special or secret information for the pur- pose of either improving or inlur- ing the prospects or chances of any person so examined, being appoint ed, employed or promoted. shall for each such offense be deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be punish ed by a fine of not less than one hundred nor more than one thous- and dollars, or by imprisonment not less than ten days, nor more than one year, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
 There were five of these cases of fraudulent examinations. So 1t will be seen that some of our friends on the hill are subject to penalties of from five hundred to five thousand dollars each, or imprisonment for fifty days to five years, or both.
 They are the people who are be- fouling the fair fame of Nogales.

INTEREST OF THE TAXPAYERS.

In his original and erudite com munication to THE OASIS last week, Supervisor EKey very grave ly informed the readers of the paper that the supervisors of Santa Cruz county are pioneers in Southern Arizona, and that they are not going to pack their grips and get out in a night" No one has ever doubted the fact of their pioneer shin-nor has anyone desired them to pack their grips and leave. It has been always the crowd which manipulates them that was break ing up people and driving them out of town. But what THE OASIS and those 1t represents have con tended IS that the board instead of protecting the interests of the tax payers has taken its orders from Boss Chenoweth and perform his bidding regardless of the interests of the taxpayers.
 The last clause above is one of the points made in MT. Ekey' s communication, viz: That the board is protecting the interests of the taxpayers.
 Was it to the interest of the tax payers to add cost of eighty dol lars to Jose Thompson's just de- mand by going into court to con test the claim? Will 1t be to the interest of the taxpayers to add three or four hundred dollars to to those costs by carrying the case up to a higher court, to lose it there? Is it to the interest of the taxpayer to crowd into public office men who can hardly read and writer THE OASIS doubts not that MT. EKey is perfectly honest in his be- lief that as supel visor he is work ing faithfully in the interest o. the people of Santa Cruz county. Everyone comedies his honesty of purpose. But his communication or notice published in THE Oasis last week, shows that be is a very ignorant man. It is just such ig- norant, yet honest men as Mir. EKey who are most dangerous in public affairs. For they can be easily made dupes by unprincipled rascals. There is where the trouble is in Santa Cruz county. The ras- calls who are manipulating the board are causing tbe trouble. And the members of the board will be very lucky if their mentors do not put them where they will be amen able to criminal prosecution.

OUT OF THE QUESTION.

General Horace Porter, in his. very interesting book, Campaign ing With Grant," relates that when that commander was operating against Lee, on the Rapidan in 1864, at one of the councils with his generals, he outlined to his subp ordinate commanders the details of the next movement the Army of the Potomac was to make. In the middle of the instruction one of the generals broke in with: But, General Grant. if you do that General Lee will do"-going on to outline a counter movement oi which he seemed in great fear.
 Grants reply was:
 Gentlemen, 1 am tired of )c.ng told by my subordinates lnal Gen. eral Lee will do this. will do that or will do the other. What General Lee is going to do concerns me not ill the least. And what should concern you is not what General Lee will do, but what I am going to do; and is your duty to promptly obey my instructions, in order that l may do what intend"
 During the past week THE OASIS editor, has been asked several times what he was going to say in reply to the personal attacks of the Vidette upon it's editor. To all such inquirers the editor has re- lated Porter's story of General Grant, and made the application directly. It makes not particle of difference to THE OASIS or its edi- tor what is said by the Vidette about him. Ii concerns nim not in the least, because it is not and it cannot be true. But what does concern him is his duty as a fear less public journalist toward the people and taxpayers of Santa Cruz county ill exposing the official shortcomings of the men who have fastened themselves upon the new county and are mismanaging its affairs and robbing the taxpayers through manipulation of com plaisant board of supervisors. The attacks of the Vidette will not divert THE OASIS from its intention of describing the exact situation. Coming within the range of fire as he does "Chippy" may get an occasional shot-just as a stray shell occasionally lands among camp followers and its explosion kills harridan. But as to engaging directly with the disreputable little journalistic prostitute-why that is entirely out of the question. THR OASIS battery is trained upon more important points.
