Augusta Masons and their ladies'. and

au Company Commanders Have 10 Be Care
iul Of State Property.

"I-nder that amendment was passed
a. the last session of the Legislature
whereby We give the commanders of
oompanies $50 for being the custodians
of the company property. instead of $50
&c previously, the careful commandng
oaicer receives a good sum for the
,rork while the careless one does not
make anything" remarked Adjutant
General Richards, Wednesday, in an
rwar 10 an inquiry relative to the court
of inquiry that the papers have an
rounced is to be held at Machias for
,be purpose of the recovery Of certain
nronerties of the State amounting to
about SO.
II was announced that Colonel New
comb would hold meeting at court
Tuesday. the 10th. for the purpose of
nnding what had become of the
property.
I; is the custom ito have all tho
nroperty recciptcd for 10y the com
manding officer of a company and he
is held directly responsible for it.
when an officer is about to leave tn"
service he cannot be honorabIy dis
charged unless his accounts are all
correct on the other hand he cannot
be dishoEorably discharged without a
hoard Of inquiry or court martial
sitting upon his case. This leaves the
hoard of inquiry necessity where the
accounts are found to be tangled as is
very often the ease.
There have been two or three of
these courts in the past year. during
the resignation Of the officers. and one
officer in particular was dishonorably
discharged because his accounts We're
found to be hopelessly tangled and be
yond any Strengthening. The state
can withhold the officers pay whatever
nav be coming to him. and it can dn
no more than discharge the officer.
These tangled accounts are by no
means an indication that the officer is
dishonest. but it shows in many cases
incapacity. for the managing of com
panv affairs is considered by officers
as of as great Importance as being a
good tactician. Good tacticians have
often been known to be utterly useless
when il came to handling the company
out of the ranks and in conducting the
affairs.
The company equipment is issued
and the commander has to receipt for
everything. Unless he is in close touch
with his company and has perfect con-
troll over them. Il" will lose some Of
the equipments. In the case Of the
campaign hats issued, last year. some
of the men have wore theirs out and
have lost them. instead of having the
inspector general condemn them. I'm
less the man pays his captain. the lat
ter must pay the State, 50 it can be
seen the captain must be fully awake
TO his duties and teach his company
about such things.
IF the captain manages well his sal
airy as custodian of the equipment is
clear gain. but otherwise he will find
that the amount is well taken up be
fore the year is out in the property
that he will have II pay for through
neglect.

the usual methods of peanut mind

ties in vain endeavor to get even.
Every allegation OF the made ~
of honor editor is as false as-the
place where he will eventually
meet his just deserts, and the au-
thor of them is a malicious, des-
picable and contemplate liar Of
the deepest dye, who has not an
atom Of honor nor a scintilla OF
decency. The allegations were
probably inspired by the assistant
editor Of the Democrat, who has
an Office not far away. He is
ambitious for political honors,
and we will have something to say
OF him later on.
The made (?) Of honor editor is
so inebriated with his own conceit
that he has the immaculate effront-
cry and sublime nerve to accuse q
man of owing money. He seems
to have $40 on the brain, as that
is the exact amount he borrowed
