WHAT HAS BEEN GAINED.

This morning Mir. w. H. Hoey
 of Indiana, who was appointed dur
 ing the recess of the senate, in July
 last, and has since been reappoint-
 ed, and confirmed by the senate on
 Thursday, succeeded H. K. Cheno-
 weth as collector of customs at No
 gales. Thus has ended protract-
 ed struggle which extended over
 many months and has involved
 many people-not only here in No
 gales, but all over the country. And
 what has bean gained by the pro-
 tracted struggle made by Mir.
 Chenoweth and his friends to re-
 tain an office there was no hope of
 holding when the truth became
 known at Washington What has
 been gained by dragging into the struggle so many people who are
 now placed in very humiliating
 position' What has been gained by all the garish display made in July last-bands of music, bursting bombs, exploding frccrackers, ban quets, balls, etc.9 What has been gained by forcing almost the entire customs force into an attitude where they have lost in consequence good life positions9 What has been gain ed by the thousands of dollars squandered in this futile struggle? It was all unnecessary. And par ticutarly was il plainly unnecessary when Messrs. Smith and Power were sent to Nogales to investigate Those two gentlemen are expert in- vestigators. They have been ID the treasury department nearly a score of years and have conducted numer- ous investigations. They are not only expert but honest. When they took hold of situation and went to | sitting it the truth could not be sup pressed. They came to Nogales perfectly unbiased. They investi- [ gated thoroughly and reported ac- cordingly. There could be but one result. What has been gained by to prevent that ineyit- able result. There had been so much trouble here at Nogales and it had lasted so long that the presi- dent and secretary of the treasury determined to learn tue whole truth. When they sent Messrs. Smith and Power to probe the matter there would have been a great gain for all concerned had Mir. Chenoweth then presented his resignation That was the time to resign.

Republican Reforms.

lines, il they we're returned to power.
They said that they would be good"
and legislate in the interest of the
state. In his inaugural, that Metho-
dist Sunday school governor. advo-
Gates reforms, but all to no purpose.
The legislature has adjourned and
passed into history a. the most extra
VACANT in the history of the state. A
greater lot of boodlers, freaks, cranks
and slObbering simpletons never as
sembled than the republican house. If
saat body originated and passed q
single solitary bill that is for the bene-
1T of the people We have not heard of
it. OF the two hundred bills passed
ninety we're purely local, aud only
hall dozen of semi-general interest
we're passed. Outside of Seaton's

penitentiary. Crossan's bill to control

were enacted. The senate passed many
good bills. but those of any merit were
invariably killed by the corporation
brass-collar house.
The salary grab bill was one of the
measures that will go down as iniqui-
tious legislation. After years of
fighting for salary reduction, it is fit
ting that the republicans should raise
the salaries at the first opportunity.
The appropriations were over one
half million dollars larger than ever
before and the state tax levy has been
increased about 20 per cent. Every
day our taxes are increased. Repub-
licanism is SYNONYMOUS with high tax
es. salary grabs, boodling and extra
vagance, but that is what the people

timated deficit of the current fiscal
year will be $50 million dollars and
for the next fiscal year 100 million,
making it probable that before the 1st

there and saw it made. My sister

Our ocaasi onal reference TO the p. o.
corner as a political factor brings
forth a wall from the Mercury, which
in concluding says: "When it ceases
entirely to advocate it's alleged prin-
'ciples and puts in it's time gossiping
about the leaders of the other party"
SO it seems the p o. corner fellows
consider themselves the leaders. Well,
if the republican party can stand it
we can!. We are also found fault
with for calling attention to the dis-
sentions in the ranks of the republic
can party. We do not doubp they are

The Indiana legislature has enacted
law legalizing the use of voting ma
chimes. The Indianapolis News says
in regard to it:
This, is entirely in the interest of
honest elections. We have learned in
Indiana that it is possible to ''beat"
even the Australian system. But it is
difficult to see how the most ingenious
cOrruptionist can successfully tamper
with the machines. Under the new
system the voting will be absolutely
secret, automatic and without a hint
as to how the citizens vote. Moreover,
as each vote is registered the count is
made and when the vote is over the
result is given instantaneously. The
change is also in the interest of econ
omy.

AS the Legislature draws to close
the members begin to express their
views of the results attained. In talk
ing on this subject Representative
Babb, of Wichita, said:
''This legis ature has passed some
good laws Some very socialistic
measures of limited application,-for
example, there's the twine bill which
will drive the twine trust from Kansas
''It has been success in preventing
the passage of general laws giving
equal rights to all.
''It has been a great success in hedg-
ing against pure democracy or the
rule of the people.
ut has been splendid success in
the passage of local and special laws.
"Its patchwork is superb. The old
garment of laws will not be known
