of 1898, for which the Mckinley tariff

off till a few weeks after the Harri-

This last one, the one which will be

of every agency of the Government for

The Prosperity Convention.

If the Prosperity Convention now
assembled in New York is simply a
junket of the commercial travellers 1T
is an innocent form of recreation. Ii
it is intended to stimulate the revival
of prosperity by the application OF
the mind cure it may even be helpful.
Optimism is an asset, when it has
foundation; withoat that it is folly,
fnd has occasioned enormous waste.
Business is improving slowly, and 1t
is probably good thing to get the
commercial travellers together and
have them swap yarns of a rising tide
of trade in all parts of the country.
But if this prosperity convention is
backed by the Republican National
Committee, and is intended to effsce
from the public mind recollection OF
last falls panic, it is at least prema-
ture, and we believe it quite futile.

court to the Supreme Court or Ari- zona, but Tailed to perfect his ap- peal within the limit of time fixed by law.
 Upon being advised of the negli- gence of the District Attorney in the matter of appealing from the judg- ment of the District Court, ana upon a further demand being made for a settlement of the judgment the Board Of Supervisors approved the claims and paid the full amount of the judg- ment.
 No appeal was taken from the judgment of the district court in the case of Charles Xrueder vs. Cochise County, for the recovery of $364 and costs of suit for boarding juries in the trial of civil cases.
 This was a case wherein the Board 0 Supervisors refused to aIiow the claim because the county has not been reimbursed by the litigants in the said cases.
 In this case judgment was render. ed in favor of Krueder on July 14, 1906 for $364 with costs of suit and interest, total s3SS.87.
 Subsequently,, Case No. 3941, Cop per Queen Consolidated Mining Co. vs. Maria Bauer, was tried by jury. At it's conclusion, the Court made an order which is of record in the min utes of the court under date of June 30. 1906, directing the county treas urer to pay the sum of s63 for cUsts in boarding the jury during the time of the aforesaid trial. This amount was paid July 6, 1906, and the county was not reimbursed by either of the litigants in the afore- said case.
 The following illegal claims have been allowed and paid by the Board of Supervisors:
 Jack White, sheriff, item in claim of first quarter 1907, viz:
 Charge $99.30 for service Of sub poena and the conveyance of con yict from the Territorial prison at Yuma to the District Court at Tomb stone This item had been held up by the Board, but later was allowed under the advice and direction of the District Attorney.
 While this claim was under exami- nation by the Examiner, opportunity was offered for an interview with the sheriff regarding the service for
