One would think that another advantage in hehali of Arizona, instead of New Mexico Not only will there be pledged all the taxable property of Arizona to secure the debts of her counties. but all the taxable property of New Mexico, while the county debts Of New Mexico will be backed only by the taxable property of the individual counties owing the debts. Will the anti jointme newspapers of Arizona please show where Arizona tax payers will be injured by such an arrangement?
 Then there is the allegation that there are Six counties in New Mexico that are completely bank rupt, and will never succeed in getting free from debt. At this time TIE OAsIs has not the details II hand, but will have them shortly, and will present them in due time. However 1t is proper to state here that the only county having an excessive debt is that of santa Fe, which with an assessed valuation of S2.200,0C0.00 has debt of S100.000.00 incurred to aid q fraud- ulent railway. Taxpayers of Pima and Santa Cruz counties, in Arizona, know all about that kind oi work The Arizona counties mentioned have been saddled with the same kind oi a debt, of nearly half 2 million dollars. And the very men who are believed to be responsible for the fraudulent Pima county narrow gauge railway bonds are now among the loudest shouters against joint statehood.
 The military warrants paraded by the anti-jointure people as a part ot the obligation of New Mex ico, are in the same category as the

fraudulent railway bonds. They are illegal, and are contested in the courts. Moreover {unlike the fraudulent Pima county bonds) they have not been validated by an act of Congress.
 Isitnot remarkable that men who bear upon their brows the brand of shame from that Pima county bond validation, should prate about the same kind of fraud perpetrated in New Mexico?
 There are other points in this feature of the discussion that will be presented at another time.

 so, deducting the county debts, which the territory of Arizona has assumed, and which similar debts the territory of New Mexico has not assumed, the net debt Of the territory of Arizona is more than one million dollars, while that of New Mexico exceeds three-quarters of a million dollars but a trihe more than does the Arizona debt ex- ceed a million; and the net debt of New Mexico is actually S240, ,13737 less than the net debt of the territory of Arizona. Expressed by percentage the net territorial debt of New Mexico is but 76 7-10 per cent of that of Arizona. In other words, in assuming the debts of the two territories the new state would throw upon the taxpayers of New Mexico about twenty-three per cent of the indebtedness of Arizona, more than would be put of the in- debtedness of New Mexico upon the taxpayers of Arizona. Surely the advantage will be on the side of the Arizona taxpayers entirely.
 With reference to the county in- debtedness of the two territories. Arizona has assumed already the most of the indebtedness of her counties, and the total aggregates more than two millions.

 Among the many daring deeds Of this day one in particular deserves mention. A little fellow. about r wears old, belonging to the Lauderdale Guards, our regiment, was taken pris- oner and was tied. When the Yankees began to retreat he got his hands loose, seized a musket. plunged ms payonet into a Zouave that was endeavoring to detain him. and went on his way, met an officer on horseback, oroereo him to surrender. which he did. then he made him dismount, take off his sword, deliver up to him, when ne marched him over to us. It proved to be Colonel Corcoran.
 Colonel Jones was wounded where we first engaged the enemy. Tnere was not a braver man in the field.

is almost inconceivable. Rather is il likely tc
prove distinct detriment and positive injury to
the police force whole and to the individual
members of it. 1t will incite rivalry, not of the
friendly but of the selfish and self-seekng sort
1t will engender jealousy, create factions, foment
strife, and propagate that Ishmaelite spirit that
never fails to work disorganizaton, demoraliza-
tion and decay
Members of the police department, whatever
rank they hold, should have the assurance of the
permanence of their positions, long their
service is efficient and their conduct proper. They
should have the assurance, also of promotion on
merit, and not on pull, when vacancies occur in
grades above them.
competent and efficient officer should not
be subj ected to the uneasness and unrest which
will inevitably disturb him when his tenure
is limited TO a year and his reappont-
ment is dependent upon the political complexion,
the partisan bias or the personal prejudice of the
appointing power The position of such officer
ought to be permanent because the longer his term
the more valuable is his service to the department
and the city
The incompetent, inefficient corrupt officer
should not be retained an instant after his in
competence corruption is discovered
1t is within the power Of the police commission
TO remove, for cause, at any time Why, then,
does it imperil the efficiency and morale of the
entire department by adopting rule which cannot
enlarge the scope of its powers, but which is
almost certain to prove harmful and demoralizing
in operation?
Were the mental processes OF the commits
sioners SO badly wrenched by pronouncng man
guilty OF very grave offence and then failing TO
punish him for his misdeed, that they cannot
realize the mischievous character of the policy they
have just adopted?

A MISCHIEVOUS RULE.

1t is difficult to discover any valid reason for
the adoption by the police commission OF the new
rule by which the chief deputy chief and the several
captains to be appointed annually, beginning
in February of the coming year.
If the change is made with the idea of lessen
ing popular indignation and resentment aroused
by the shamefully inadequate punishment visited
upon Chief of Police Matthews if it is made with
the purpose OF creating the impression that the
chief is practically put probation for the next
seven months, and that his reappointment will
depend upon the correctness of his conduct during
that period it will fail utterly and completely.
The public cannot be fooled in that way. II
is firmly convinced that righteous verdict has
been nulihed by reprehensibly petty penalty and
that conviction will edure.
But why create. unrest, uncertainty and dis
trust among other officers of the police depart
ment who are presumably performing their duties
rapably and efficiently, by revoking a rule which
assured them permanence of position during good
behavior, and adopting in its stead one that re-
duces their tenure TO the span OF single year
