procuring decision from Che bench. That is just the situation eith regard to the suits ordered by the late grand jury to be instituted against the ex-sheriff and his bondsmen. According to the V- dette the demands rnade by the ex- sheriff and paid by the board of supervisors, that are condemned by the grand jury, were perfectly legal. In declaring them illegal the grand jury consulted both the district attorney and attorney gen. eral, and those officials hold to that effect. That being the case there was nothing else to do but get a construction from the courts of the real meaning of the law. If the newspaper apologist for the ex- sheriff be correct, the court will so declare, and the ex-sheriff will keep the money, while the present sheriff and his successors will have a right to always include in their demands similar accounts. and they will be paid. But if the courts construe the law in the same way as the district attorney and the attorney general, the money will have to be returned to the public treasury where it will rightfully belong.
 The procedure now set into operation by the action of the grand jury is no new proposition in Santa Cruz county. An expert investigation of the books of the county at the termination Of the first administration developed that the recorder had been paid illegal demands. Like the ex-sheriff and his apologists the poor old man who had held the office claimed that he was legally entitled to the money and quoted both the law and the custom in other counties to support his claim; but the court did not take his view of the case, and he had to make restitution. Unless THE OASIS greatly misre- members the VideHe was then, as now, an apologist for the official under investigation.

CHANGE OF ATTITUDE.

The change In the moral atmos.

Ira A. Abbott has been on the bench.
Is strikingly illustrated by the strong
stand which the Albuquerque Citizen
is taking against gambling and the
Sunday saloon, d stand, which a year
ago would have cost the Citizen heay-
lily In advertising patronage, declares
the New Mexican. Says the Citi.
zen In conclusion OF an editor
ial. In which II praises the recent, ar
ticle Of ]. J. Hagerman, OF Roswell,
against gambling:
THE daily press Of the territory
has taken up the subject, and the
Citizen believes without a dissenting
voice has declared against licensed
gambling. The fact Is pointed TO thai
bank deposits have doubled In III
Paso since the closing out OF eamh'
ling In that city. over what they were
during q similar period before the
closing; and those who are In position
10 feel the public pulse are well as
sured that in case Of statehood the
constitutional legislature will un
-doubtedly place gambling under the
ban OF outlawry: while even before
the meeting Of either convention or
legislature. II Is more than probable
the leading cities OF New Mexico will
have banished open gambling by pro
hibitive license. Nothing whatever
can be said in favor OF gambling and
everything can tie said against It.
when II ONE to the ope- saloon
on Sunday. II Is we'll known that the
laws OF the territory are now amply
sufficient to close them all. and 1t is
believed that the district court judges
all favor the enforcement Of these
laws. In fact, It was recently said
that Albuquerque was the only town
in New Mexico where the law was
openly def1ed. Since then many. and
II may he all. saloons In Albuquerque
voluntarily closed their doors on Sun
day. hut the charge has been made
by a paper published In this city that
only the front doors have been closed
while the rear doors are ken. only on
the latch. This charge has been TAX
en- up by the press Of the territory

BEN WILLIAMS INDICATED.

We are glad to learn from Albu
duerque that Special Officer Ben VIII
liams OF the Santa Fe. In the mattes
Of securing the arrest Of the assailant
OF Hon. Alex. Bowie OF Gallup, did
everything within his power to do. IN
view Of the reports industriously
circulated both here and In Albuquer
que that the Santa Fe company was
responsible tor the attack on the
Caledonia Coal company nan and
that 1t was shielding the offender,
we suggested that had Mr.. Williams
arrested the porter who made the at.
tack when he saw him ut the train
In Albuquerque, not waiting for a com.
plant by Mr.. Bowie or action by the
district attorney. such silly stories
would not have started.
We are still inclined to think that
Mr.. williams had sufficient authority
to arrest this man and mold him for
the action Of the courts. However. we
are informed both by Hon. Neill b.
Field, attorney for the Caledonia Coal
company. and by District Attorney
Frank Clancy that Mr.. williams did
what he believed TO be his full duty
and everything In his power to bring
about the arrest Of Mr.. Bowie's as
sailant. Mr.. Fields says also that MIR.
Bowie is Of that opinion.
Mr.. Clancy informs The Optic that
Mr.. Williams came TO him TO make
a full report of all the information
he could secure In the matter with
I'm a half hour OF the .;me tne com
plant was made by Mr. Bowie. Mr..
Williams reported that the porter had
probably gene through that morning
north bound. Mr.. Clancy holds that
Mr.. Williams had no power to make
the arrest until a complaint had been
filed by some one having personal
knowledge Of the facts in the case.
The statute on which this opinion is
founded Is capable Of more than n
construction, but there is no doubt
