 collector of customs at Nogales, are probably satisfied now, having se- cured the removal of a citizen of the territory and the appointment of an utsider.-Journal-M Miner.
 Would the Journal-Miner have dishonest official retained simply because he is an Arizonan9
 Would the Journal-Miner have had the men who have compassed Collector Chenoweth s removal fold their hands while he drove them out of Nogales, as he and his fol- lowing frequently declared be would do?
 The Journal Miner is misinform- ed. There has not been a fight made upon MT. Chenoweth ever since his appointment He is the man who has made the fight from the very onset. He could have had the support and friendship of everybody in Nogales. It was pro- ferred him, but refused. He was going to break up those who had been opposed to him and drive them out of the country. Not only were those who had opposed him to be ruined but all newcomers into No- gales who would not align themsel- yes with him to help him punish his foes and rob the government were to be likewise punished. In that way he aroused a combination which was sufficiently potent to crush him and has done so. Two of the men in that combination were both strangers in Nogales when MT. Chenoweth was appointed collector. They were strangers to him, they were strangers to his opponents. They did not want to mix in the Nogales squabble and did all they could to keep out of it. But that didn't suit the little man who as- pired to be a political boss. They must bow the knee to him or suffer. They would not truckle to him, and the war was commenced.
 Several times has peace been patched up-always at solicitation of MT. Chenoweth. Every time was the truce broken by some fraud or trickery upon the part of MT. Chenoweth. It is long story and the public shall not be burden ed herewith. But suffice it to say that every agreement he made last ed only so long as the breath with which he spoke the words. His only idea of dealing with those who have shown themselves so potent and effective was to defraud and trick them whenever he could not openly accomplish his ends.
 Mir. Chenoweth has no one but himself to blame for his downfall. All he had to do was to be honest both ill office and i'll politics. He could have had the United support of all republicans in Nogales for re- tention of his office not only through the present term, but for a second term.

TAKING OFF THE ARMOR

With the success which has with. in two weeks come to THE OASIS contention for good government in Nogales the fight now ends, and the editor sincerely trusts that here after he may be left to the more congenial duty of noting and pub fishing the good deeds of all our fellow citizens instead of giving so much space as has been necessary to the misdeeds of few. That the victory is most complete cannot be gainsaid. The chief federal official in this part of Arizona, who has prostituted his high office most shamefully, is dismissed i'll dis grace, and already there has com menced a process of purification among his subordinates. The burn ing disgrace to which this same of fensive partisan had subjected the public school system of Nogales has been eliminated by the forced with drawal of the objectionable princi- pal.
 So far as are concerned the va rious county officials, their record is before the public, and they will answer at the tribunal of public opinion in November 1900, if not called before another tribunal be- fore.
 In all this work THE OASIS has followed a course which has been and will continue to be justified by events. All sorts of efforts have been made to punish the paper and its editor for the fearless and cor rect position occupied. The "push" have worked hard to deprive THE OASIS of printing and advertising justly its due, and the paper has been even threatened with boy cot. THE OASIS is not to be swerved from plain duty by consideration of few dollars. In fact the only enduring and substantial news papers are those who do not fear to follow the truth, even at a tenn porary loss. Such journals are always sure to last.
 It is a part of the propaganda of the push" to say that the course of THE OASIS has hurt the town This we must positively deny. The very facts going forth this week that fraud and corruption in high places cannot stand ill Nogales, that the public schools are not here permitted to be contaminated by unworthy instructors, and that

CITY SHOULD CONTROL.

Strong arguments against the leas-
ing at the present time of the water
power TO be furnished by the new
drainage channel are made in u report
which has just been completed by a
special committee of the Civic Fedora
ton. The committee, of which Will
lam \. Giles Is chairman, Is convinced
that the interests Of the public de-
mand that plenty Of time be taken to
investigate the possibilities In the use
Of the power, and while no express
recommendation Is made Oh the sub
ject. the general tenor Of the report Is
in favor of the direct use of the power
by the city Of Chicago for municipal
purposes.
The report Is a lengthy document,
and contains number Of technical
appendices which show that the me-
chanical problems involved rs well as
the questions Of public interest, have
been carefully considered. 1t Is pre-
sented to the public just at this time
because the bids for which the Drain
age Trustees have advertised were
fled Aug. %, and the possibility is
great that some action will soon be
taken which will by lease transfer the
control Of the 10000 horsepower In
VOWED to private persons for long
term Of years. In Its argument the
report treats the city Of Chicago sim.
ply as one Of the possible competitors
for the lease of the power, and aims
to show that the city could AFFORD to
lease It for supplying the electricity for
street lighting Mt much higher rental
even than any that has yet been sug.
gestcd by private persons and still
make a great saving over the cost Of
Its present lighting system. There are
many evidences, however, that the
committee members-whO number, be.
/ sides MIR. Giles, Franklin II. Head, B.
\. Greeley, William w. Case and r. II
Baldwin-have looked beyond the pres
ent condition to time when the Drain
age Board and the city proper, along
with the other local taxing bodies, will
he consolidated. They argue that In
that event the power will belong tO
the city, aud that since the city has
such great need for power In carrying
out Its own activities, 1t would be a
great misfortune II private individuals
should hold long-term leases, especial
~ II the rentals paid by them were moi
fully adequate In amount The legal
objections sometimes urged against
the right Of the city at the present
time to lease the power are met by
counter arguments,
