Our Government TeIegraphs.


 Arizona has been favored above all other Territories by government in the matter of teIegraphs, Anything affecting our line is of interest here, The NatiOn- al Republican of Washington of Septem- Der 2l, has a review of the government telegraphs and their connection with the signal service.- Referring to the Arizona and San Diego line, the Republican says: "The operators on this as well as on all " the other lines under the charge of the "Signal office will be enlisted men of the "signal service" The article further says that 450 men are allowed in the signal ser vice, and that one of their duties is the construction of line from Prescott via Verde to Apache, and another to build line from Dennison to Brownsville in Texas, connecting the military posts of Forts Sill, Richardson, Griffin, Concho Clarke, Duncan, Mcintosh and Ringgold Barracks. The total length of this line is 1250 miles, and the extension of the Ari- zona line something less than 200. Some of our exchanges have it that the exten- sion will connect all the posts in Arizona, which is mistake, for Camps Grant, Bowie
 
 Thus we will soon have about 2909 miles of telegraph wire belonging to and manag- ed by the United States, By it many facts will be demonstrated against that most powerful and unscrupulogs monopoly the Western Union Co1npany.. This company is not only the most powerful but most dangerous in America to-day, and yet the seI-styled independent press dares not, or does not, raise voice against it. This company is perfectly willing to have its wires burdened with news and falsehoods prejudicial to the railway and other more useful companies than itselfs but nothing to it's own detriment. It is used to shape public sentiment as it's managers from time to time want impress ed upon the nation. The company and Pharisaical independent press deny this, but they only deny a truth in the denial. In this, as in all other public interests wherein the "independent" press is pe- cuniarily affected, said press has only words of commendation, and the praise takes about the tone that William Orton, president of the company, dictates. Con- gressmen and State legislators and con- OI Iu0 UuJ Sell-SIyleu independent press," howl about railway passes while they carry telegraph. franks in their pockets of a hundred fold the val ue to men in politics or business of railway passes. The operation of 2000 miles of gov ernment line will demonstrate many facts which we have great hope will lead to the expansion of such service at least to the extent that will neutraliZe the power and abuses practised by the present great monopoly. The matter of economy may possibly be against government lines, but the cheapest service is not always the best for individuals or the country. The line here, while of much local advantage, has also national significance, for while keeping Arizona constantly before the nation in the most conspicuous of all places-the telegraphic columns-it aids to determine that great question before the people, whether it is best for the nation to buy, operate and control the telegraphs? in an indisputable manner.

WE are advised that the people along the Gila within the proposed new county are by no means unanimous for county for themselves. So far as we can hear up this way, the disposition Is to let the peo- pie down that way have Q county if it be at all manifested that majority want it. How it will be ascertained that major ity do or do not want it, is rather diff cult to determine except by vote of the people, which might be had at the ensu- ing election. Would it not be we'll to have vote upon it at that time for the guidance of the legislature?

Goldberg is in- dependent for representative to the legis- lature; William J. Berry is independent for district attorney; Julius Samter is on the Independent {" lay" for supervisor; T. Burke is out for recorder,
 In Yavapai the Democrats have nomin- ated part of a ticket and peoples meeting the remainder making this as a full ticket: For council, John G. Camp bell, J. P. Hargrave and Lewis A.

Bigelow, independent for public admin istrator and ex-officio coroner; Ed. w. Wells, independent for district attorney; William Wilkerson independent for re- corder.
 In Maricopa county, an advertisement in The CITIZEN shows an independent ticket for county and legislative officers. The Democrats have this ticket out: For council, c. H. Gray; for house, Winchester Miller and Morris GOldwater; for sheriff, Lindley Orme; for recorder, E. M. John son; for district attorney, G. H. Oury; for treasurer, T. W. Mcintosh; for supervisors, John WOOfSter and - Middleton. Ifany are "going it alone," they are not report ed.
 Our Mohave correspondence tells who are candidates in that county.
 The disposition to run independent prevails throughout the Territory for about every office from Delegate down to Con- stable. There are now six regularly an- nounced candidates for Delegate, which shows that very soon five unfortunates can weep and cOndOle with each other. In the end the defeated fellows will be happiest. Their pride may be a little hurt but their good qualities will remain as many and bright as ever. They all love Arizona so much, that it will be something of a favor to have no excuse for leaving it even tenn porarily. Whatever we may do about the successful man, we intend to do the best we can for the five others.

due. on about $4,000 worth of the citys bonds
issued to aid the Grand Rapids and Indiana
Railroad, in the United States Court for the
Western District Of this State, Monday last.
The case will probably be tried at the May

cases in the United States courts, judgment
will be rendered against the city. It is under
stood that other suits are to be brought against
the city soon by holders Of the Grand Rapids

burly counterfeiter, who was master Of the
dwelling, "we shall want you to locate ~ in
the swamp. so that when the news comes vou
will know how to find us out and how TO send
Us our meals"
"Pm with you, said Hunt, and with these
words the felonious quartette left the hut and
plunged into the thicket near at hand After
half an hours winding they had reached toe
densest masses OF the wood, when the old fel-
low brought them to stand and acquainted
them that they might find security from inter.
ruption, or. at all events, security from any in
terrupton but such as they could easily silence
with the edge Of their knives He then left
them with promise to despatch one Of b!s
sons to Grafton to learn Old Hiagaams fate.
and also ascertain the result of the visit OF the
! lynchers to Sharrot's Grove.
"In the meantime" said Birch. calling after
the old man, ''you can employ the other boy
in getting up some ham and eggs and stout
jug of whisky, for we shall soon be as hungry
as swamp foxes, and shall want something to
help us along in spinning yarns.'
we must now leave the three freebooters in
the swamp, to return to Grafton and learn the
eplogue OF the descent we have described

through their hands, returned towards the nut,

At these words the lynchers. some thirty IN
number ranged themselves around the burning
dwelling, and leaning on their guns watched
the progress Of the flames with bitter satisfac-
ton. In half an hour the structure was a heap
OF smouidering ruins and the darkness TIL
umphed again over the lurid atmosphere and
dropped Its pail to within few feet OF the
circle OF the dying embers.

Among the folks that live so high.
And are so big of feelin
With hands that do no sort o. work
Except to handle money
And make it come so short o. count,
Il sartin isn't funny.
But bless me cant they dress and swell.
in lofty style and splendor,
On steallns that don't sartin make
Their conscience over tender:
When they can feel so hlgh above
The smaller thieves and sinners,
Whosa hen-roost stealins wouldn't make
One OF their plainest dinners.
Folks mostly now begin to think
Sich loads O. silk and laces.
And jewels and grand carriages,
Means thievin in high places:
And lofty airs don't count for much
In honest peoples feehns,
Who have ter work for all the cash
They gobble up in stealins.
They say that Washington Is jlst
den o thieves tergether,
And they have plucked our eagle bird
or every Quill and feather;
And now they think to make it good
BY taxin us the greater.
