TRUTH WILL PREVAIL. "

Last week the Bulletin published
column article about the back
salary case of Frank Dysart hav-
ing been affirmed by the Territori-
al Supreme Court, and makes the
startling statement that the "Dis'
trict Attorney failed to appeal the
case" This shows an absolute
falsehood on its face. What was
the case doing in the supreme
court, if the district attorney "fail-
ed to appeal the case"
The fact is that the district at.
torney "completed and perfected
the appeal" on the 18th day ofJune
last, and the clerk of the Tucson
court certifies that the appeal had
been fully completed at that time
by the district attorney. The Tue.
son clerk simply failed to send up
the record to the supreme court
before October lst, and Dysarts
last attorney, Judge liovel, filed a
motion to affirm the judgment on
that account.
Section 2, of Act II of the 10th
legislature, governing appeals pro
vides as follows:
"The clerk of the district or
circuit court,as the case may be,
when an appeal or writ of error is
taken from said court to the sup
rene court of the Territory, shall
certify and TRANSMIT the EN-
TIRE record, including the origin
al papers on file IN his court, and
all minute orders In the case, to
the supreme court, and it shall not
be necessary for the plaintiff in
or appellant to file with the su.
preme court any transcript, as
signment of errors, or other pa
pers except as herein provided"
The appeal was from judgment
rendered by Judge Davis, and the
clerk appointed by him SIMPLY
failed to "certify and transmit the
entire record" to the supreme
court as required by law, before
the short October term of the su
preme court, although District
Attorney Jones had fully complet
ed the appeul four months before.
These are Facts.
The records show it. On June
18th an appeal bond was filed.
Notice of appeal had been previ
ously given. Within thirty days
thereafter bond of S6,500.00 was
filed staying execution until the
case could be heard in the supreme
court. On July 10th, District At.
torney Jones directed the clerk at
Tucson to send up all papers to
the supreme court. That request
was unnecessary as the law makes
il the DUTY of the clerk to "trans-
NIT the entire record" to the SUI
preme court.
All tho foregoing facts were
shown by the answer to Judge
LovePs motion, and by the zen.
tire record" of the case which had
finally reached the supreme court
and been filed before il met Jan
9Th. This entire record was made
a part of the sworn answer, and
Judge Lovel admitted the truth of

CONDITIONS IN SCOTLAND.
A Report From Consul Fleming Re
GaEdinS Agriculture.

Rufus Fleming, United States Consul at
Edinburgh. writes the State Department
as follows:
There are signs of an abatement Of ac-
tivity in important lines OF production in
Scotland. notably at shipyards and iron
and steel works. In the six weeks from
March I TO April 10. 1900, orders were slack
compared with the same period OF last
year. The accepted explanation is the
high prices. due chiefly TO the increased
cCst Of materials and fuel Whether this
condition viii be temporary or OF long
duration, no one just now ventures 70
predict IN most fields OF employment
for skilled labor. the tendency Of wages
is no longer upward, and some apprehen-
sion is felt by the working people. IN
the building trades in every large Scot
tish city the masters are demanding a re-
ductiOn Of the scale Of wages.
From business point OF view. the year.
1898 and 1888 were extraordinary I refer
specially to Scotland. although the state
neut may well apply IN a general way. to
the whole United Kingdom. They were
both record years for the principal
trades. the only prominent exception being
the distiling industry. Investment com
panies and other financial institutions. as
well as the majority Of mercantile houses
wholesale and retail. enjoyed a degree Of
prosperity considerably above that Of the
average year. AS a rule both the volume
u business and the margin OF profit we're
greater than usual. The total value Of
ships launched in Scottish waters in 1899
was not far from $40. .0OG 0G0. aad the value
OF the output Of Scottish coal was $50. 600.
cO0. in each case the increase being more
than 10 per cent over 1SsS. a year OF great
achievements in production There wa an
equal rate OF growth in the iron and steel
trade; also. in some other branches OF
manufacture
The effect Of this prosperous condition Of
the industries upon the masses OF the peo-
pie is a matter OF interest. The profession
