After looking at the report in de-

and while the receiver and his attor-
neys faired bounteously, there is no
such evident deliberate intention to
loot everything in sight as there is in
the DeSteiguer receivership. It is

dences develop. Of course, he did
fairly well, charging SI,""" more than
the receipts, but Joe Wisby, who
flunked his client, the 1'nited States

ningham as to what the law is, should
have put Harper on as to how "me
and Nix do it." It was unfair of Joe
to thus deprive his client, Cunning-
ham. of valuable experience he had
nad in the bank asset absorption busi- j
by the estate each with one or more
contests upon them.''
In this Mr. Nix is correct. The
estate was entangled badly and the
district court records show that the
bank and the receiver have deen plain-
tiff or defendant in about forty suits
and that ten or twelve suits were
prosecuted or defended by the receiver
before the townsite board, and Mr.
Nix, therefore, thinks that this re-
ceivership is not a parallel by any
means with the DeSteiguer bank re-
ceivership, the latter having no legal
entanglements whatever.
and especially when he has a court
ready and willing to approve. Never-
theless. this does not lessen the right
of creditors to object and demand that
the court allow only equitable charges
for services and save at least a little
from the wreck for the people in
whose interest the receiver was an
pointed.
As per Nix's official report he had
actually received up to October 10,
lv-4, S5.5VJ.-J5 for l^'.'l and 1892. Of
course, how much he will file bil1 for
as personal compensation for 1 :)3 and
lsi 4 is not known. He indicates that
he may file no charge, which would be
unnatural, at least.
This whole matter will come before
the court on July 2nd. and at that
time the justice or injustice of all
these expenditures will be considered
by the court. We believe Judge Dale
will do all parties justice. In the
meantime we will leave the average
citizen to regret that he cannot be-
come lucky and attiuent enough to re-
ceive the princely salaries charged in
this community by receivers and their
attorneys.

The moon is full and its hue is very
carmine. An outfit which has been
patronage fed until it foundered in an
attempt to assimilate all the public
swill which partisans tore their shirts
to throw into its trough, thinks somo
"democratic officials" have gone back
on it. It, therefore, has a spasm, the
second edition of which reads as fol-
lows, taken from the Daily Leader:
"We despise a double-faced, accordi-
on-pleated man, one who will cringe
and whine like a dog and curry favor
with another whelp in order to avoid
imaginary trouble. We have two men
of that breed in this territory. They
are democratic officials and are no
more lit to be in that party than an
impaired hydraulic ram. They are
democrats for revenue only and would
enter into diplomatic compact with
the devil were a nickel in sight. They
are utterly devoid of gratitude; revoke
their Saviour and stab their friends.
The Leader is not only fond of prod-
ding, but unless some practices in this
territory are speedily repaired, there
will be a general and sensational
shaking up of dry bones."
The officials thus beslandered have
done everything, except to violate law
and official honor, to turn patronage
to the office-holding Leader gang
which now turns on them. These offi-
cials, which the Leader places in the
category of recusants, have turned
thousands of dollars into the Leader's
maws—and never got even decent
treatment from that concern as a re-
ward. Thk Statu Capital has been

We give you, Mr. Wisby, two columns
of our space tomorrow to explain your-
from this sale. The adroit scheming
of Wisby, we think, led Nix into this
mistake originally.
If, after the evidence is in on the
Nix Commercial bank receivership,
you see Harper Cunningham out in a
back alley kicking himself, you will
know it is because of a realization
that he is not in it—though he did
fairly well. Then there will be a re-

Thkkk is a rumor, too good to be
true, that Mr. Cleveland will, in fill-
ing the vacancy left in the cabinet

endeavor to get a democrat whose
Americanism is robust enough and
sufficiently well known to the public
to reinspire confidence in the foreign
policy of the administration. It would
be a good thing for Mr. Cleveland to
make the attempt to do this, but un-
less the tenor of public opinion has
been misunderstood, there is only one
thing that will make the public be-
lieve in the Americanism of the ad-
ministration. and that is the election
of a republican president.

constructed that they cannot broaden
out even upon a day dedicated to mag-
nanimity and love, as is Memorial
day. That is every patriot's day and
nothing harsh or grating should be
said. The truth on such occasions,
does not require acerbity: it demands
an exposition of the sentiments most
likely to further cement what we now
have, a united country and a patriotic
people.

! show any such approvals, so they must
nave been oral apnrovals.
| Mr. Nix says he has another n-port
J ready to file which will show that the
! receipts have run up to 867.000 and no
more expenses inccurred unless the
v I court sees fit to compensate the re-
ii. wake Nix 1
ceiver by the 81."00 a year for 1- -94.
Mr. Nix claims that his entire fees
on the $07,000 receipts will amount only
to about 10 per cent. <>u top of this
there was 2" percent for attorney fees,
or about SI2,000, and other expenses
ran the total cost to close to 40 per
cent of the gross amount received.
We have shown that about >0.000 of
this was cash in the vault when the
bank failed. The report now on file
shows that it cost about 5" per
cent to collect the 85",000 collected up
to Oct. 16, 1894.
Mr Nix says in his report:
"I have paid all attaching creditors
except about £17,000. I feel confident
that there are sufficient assets on hands
to discharge the balance due the at-
taching creditors."
The unpaid creditors will on July 2d
resist the receiver's report, most of
which has already been orally approved
by Judge Green. Whether those ex-
penditures approved by the court but
not made of record in the court can be
reviewed, cut down or disallowed, is a
legal question which will come up at
that time. Judge Hurford said oral
