JUDGE KENT'S DECISION.

Chief Justice Kent has rendered
decision holding that Governor Murphy
was the receiver of moneys Illegally
drawn from the Treasury Of Arizona
The Judge also holds that eX-Auditor
Vickers who issued the warrants IL
legally is responsible under the law to
the people,
The decision of Judge Kent should
assure the immediate removal of Gov
ernor Murphy 1t is complete vim
dication of 1ne position assumed by
the LEGISLATURE Of 1901 at the instance
al Senator Ives Judge Kent holds that
all of the warrants which were issued
TO the personal order of n. Q. Murphy
were issued illegally, and he holds that
the auditor and his bondsmen are re-
Fponsihle to the Territory for three
times the amount of such illegal war
rants. The law imposed this penalty,
not upon the person who received the
money but only upon the untaithtui
Territorial officials who unlaWfully
paid it, Murphy did not receive the
money as a Territorial official but as
an individual and, therefore, the court
has held that Murphy was not respon-
sble for three times the amount or
the warrants and cannot be reached in
this action. Murphy's liability is TO the
Territory simply and it is for the face
value of the warrants and therefore his
liability cannot be reached in this
special taxpayers proceeding Murphy
is still liable to the Territory for the
face value of the warrants and though
under Judge Kent's decision a tax
payer cannot bring suit against Muir
phy to enforce this liability, the La
bility exists, and it Is now the plain
and obvious duty of the Attorney
General to at once institute suit
against Murphy in behalf of the Ter
ritory to force Murphy to pay back
the money.
Governor Murphy under the ruling
of Judge Kent, escapes legal respon-
sibility under the taxpayers act. but
no one will now doubt his moral re-
sponsibility lie received the money
and spent it, and the auditor and his
bondsmen are held to legal respon-
81 ility.
DR.. Vickers is placed in an unenviable
Dosition. AS an appointee of Governor
Murphy he felt himself subject to the
Governors orders. He was removable
by the Governor at will. To refuse 10
cash the slips of paper signed IN. u.
Murphy. Governor" would simply
mean his instant dismissal from office.
When the Vickers' dispatch to Martin
was discovered Murphy abandoned the
auditor and turned him out of office.
Now he is held responsible by the
court for Murphys money hunger, and
made the chief victim of the conspiracy
TO rob the treasury.
We congratulate the Hon Eugene .
Ives on the de2lsi n of tli7 court
Single handed and alone, at much per-
sonal cxpen.e, a. :nuch expenditure OF
time and labor. he has fought TINS
case. He has proved that he is good
citizen, good fighter. a
good lawyer and a good
Democrat. He has routed and demorai-
lied and discounted well fortified
band of public thieves. He deserves
well of the people of Arizona.

Commission.
Scranton, Pa, Dec. 15.-The strike
commission yesterday heard cHmu.
latipe testimony on matters that have
already been before the commission.
This testimony tended to show that
there has been excessive docking;
that many men have been discrim.
mated against because they went on
strike rather than do the work OF
strikers; that they have been paid one

In the House.


Washington, Dec. 9. = The house
yesterday paid a remarkable tribute
to the memory OF ex-Speaker Thomas
B. Reed. Hfs death had created a
profound impression and there was uni
versal desire among the members OF
the house to show a signal mark OF re-
spect to his memory. For the house to
take action on the death OF a former
member had only three precedents in
its history, namely, on the occasions
of the death of Benton, of Blaine and
of Alexander Stephens, when the house
adopted resolutions and adjourned out
of respect TO their memories. II was
decided to follow these presidents in
the case of Mr.. Reed.
The chaplain at the opening OF the
session made feeling reference to the
death of the exspeaker. No business
was transacted beyond the formal
reading Of two messages from the
president and al arrangement to post
pone the special order for yesterday
the London dock bill, until to-day.
Mr.. Sherman of New York then. amid
profound silence arose and in a few
feeling remarks, offered resolutions
setting forth the services of Mr.. Reed
in congress and expressing sorrow at
his death. AS further marke Of es-
TEEN the house then adjourned.

The senate adopted all the commit
tee amendments to the immigration
