In mentioning the claim and tile gentleman holding the same the third person should have been used, and the claim described as Mir. Heney's claim, just as the attorney generals connection with the case was brought into allusion. In the description of the attorney general had he described him as "our brother" he would have described the actual relation just as closely and no more ridiculously than in descanting upon "our claim"
 However this is an error fre- quently made by recent journalists and can be overlooked, but THE OASIS thought it would just men ton it.

THE Arizona Gazette has taken occasion several times lately to read the riot act to the people of Santa Cruz county for quarreling so much. Now, John, you have troubles of your own, and TIE OASIS begs of you moi to borrow trouble outside. And who said, John, we are quar- reling here in Santa Cruz2 Why; everything is as slick and smooth as the top of the head of Yavapai legislator. Nobody is quarreling, John.

If the Gazette persists in it's efforts to revive that old story and regild MT.

WHY THE COMMISSION k DEMO-
 CRATIC.

The reflection on the young, am- bilious lawyers of Arizona who have been struggling here for standing all the years of their pro- fessional lives by the appointment of stranger to be clerk of the code commission will bear abundant fruit in due time for those who are responsible for such an uncalled for proceeding. Certainly the repub- lican member of the commission is not responsible for such an out rage. By the way, why is not the majority of that commission re- publican anyway2-Herald.
 Last week, before the forgoing appeared in Nogales, THE OASIS explained, how Governor Murphy was obliged to name two demo- crats upon the code commission. Had he not agreed to do so in ad- vance there would have been no commission. The democratic leg islature would not have enacted the law creating the commission. Yet the laws sadly need revision and Governor Murphy would have preferred republican commission. But rather than let the laws go any longer in the mess they now present he urged creation of cod flying commission and agreed that it should be democratic
 Governor Murphy is opposed to public officials who have been ele- vated by the republican party, ap- pointing to office men who are dem ocrats or retaining democrats in office. His appointment of officials to organize and conduct the affairs of Santa Cruz county is voucher sufficient for the truth of that as- sertion There isn't one among them who is democrat. As THE OASIS has before remarked if all republican officials were like Gov ernor Murphy there would be fewer democratic officials serving under a republican administration in Ari- zona.

LAST Saturday THE OASIS was credibly informed that Colin Cam eron is digging up his illegal fence posts on the Calabasas grant. Good boy, Colin. There is nothing like doing what your Uncle Samuel tells you and doing it promptly.

THE Gazette also admonishes THE OASIS and the fence cutters that the law rights all wrongs. Perhaps. And Cameron had a bulge in heading off execution of the law. But his pull" weakened, his bulge fell, and now the law will be executed.

THE EDITORIAL ~wr.~


 OASIS would admonish the editor of the Frontier Fronterizo that when he mounts the tripod and wields the editorial we" the "we' is the 'impersonal personality re- presenting and represented by the journal which spreads before the world thoughts worth recording, and that I've" can rightly have no more share in the private affairs of the editor than his immortal soul can have i'll the corns which tor ment his understanding or the flea bites which irritate his cuticle. To instance: in the last issue of the Frontier there is long (and very interesting article upon a private claim of MT Heney (now the edi- tor of the Frontier against the ter ritory for expert accountant work some six years ago, ill which the reader is gravely assured that we had small bill against the terri. tory for services rendered and cash advanced, under a contract with the governor in 1895" One would suppose, at first reading, that the newspaper had the claim. But a few lines further the reader is in- formed with equal gravity that i've have got family founded and the heirloom will be preserved" Now, who ever heard of a newspaper founding family and begetting children Surely if this be met aphor 1t is what Adam Smith would term violent one. And all through the article the reader is frequently told the efforts "wep made to secure a settlement of this claim of ours" leaving in the mind a misty uncertainty as to whether inc claim is for services rendered the territory or of paternity to the family founded by the news paper. In another place the asser- ton is made that Hughes and Fleming offered to pay us one thousand dollars, Who did they offer to pay2 The Frontier Front erizo' But there was no such newspaper in existence in 1893, and if there were Mir. Heney was not the editor.
 It was the same way ill the poli- tical campaign last fall. We" were the chairman of the republi- can county committee, and later Eve" were chairman of the repub- lican city committee, when the facts were that MT. Ben Heney, most estimable gentlemen and very cap able political manager, who con ductod the campaign with ability so masterly, and not the editor of i the Frontier. MT.

MUCH m,LrcNrD OFFICIAL.

Gazette 10 CaVli at ana condemn
 Mir. J A. Naugle, local manager of
 the Sonora and New Mexico &
 Arizona railways. Every little
 while its columns contain some
 unkind and frequently untrue cut
 at the gentleman. Not long ago it
 accused him of mixing in the
 trouble between Consul Darnell and
 Collector Chenoweth. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
 And last Sunday there appeared a
 very unkind and malicious fling at
 the standing of the gentleman.
 THE OASIS editor, speaking from
 the stand point of fifteen years ex- perience ill railway service, asserts
 most positively that MT. Naugle is a very capable and efficient official, and has made and maintained a first-class record as traffic manager and superintendent upon two rail ways.
 These continual filings at MT. Naugle remind the writer of Mir. A. N. Towne's advent upon the Pacific Coast as general superin- tendent of the Central Pacific rail- way. immediately after its com pletion. He inaugurated a com prehensive and sweeping system of reform which stopped hundreds of leaks, aggregating many hun dreds of thousands ot dollars an nually. Mutually those who felt their fat pickings slipping from them roared greatly, and their in huential friends did all they could to secure removal of MT. Towne. Nearly the entire board of directors was against him, and they and many subordinate officials cid all they could to thwart his projected re- forms. Ofcourse they predicted his removal every six months. But MT. strongly supported him, and MT. Towne remained all through the clamor against him. After five or six years the directors all perceived that MT. Towne's system of reform was swelling the earnings of the company, one by one His opponents went over to bis side or dropped out of the service of the company. In the end the work of Albion N Towne stood forth as I monument to his genius, and he was universally conceded one of he greatest railway managers of his day
 Now MT. Naugle has only done lpon a small part of the system what MT Towne was so successful Il doing upon the old parent stem 1f that system;and THE OASIS ven ures the prediction that c. P. Huntington appreciates his work md will retain him where he is or advance him to better positions.
 And TIE OASIS will venture assertion The recent at- acks upon manager Naugle would
