UTAH SOUTHERN R. R.

We understand that the owners of the Utah Southern R. R., which is destined al some day to tap the Gulf of California al Guymas, have concluded to push their road on into Arizona immediately. The termi- nus of this road is now at Nephi, 120 miles south of Salt Lake City. The small towns and the country along the route from Salt Lake to the present terminus. glve but little work to the railroad, consequently it is a ncn-paying institution. Let them run their line into the heart of Arizona and secure her traffic. then will their road be one of the best paying institutions in the United States. Cur mines, of themselves, will fur nish, before another half decade shall pass away, employment for 100 cars. and the directors of the Southern Utah see it and are now about to make an effort for that which they may loose by remaining longer idle. Now Arizona has about 5o,oo0 in habitants, give us 6 railroad aud rhe mum Der will be swelled Tn . very short period 10 100000.

OUR NEXT pELEsArE.

Colonel woolsey, the working mans friend, and candidate to the 46th Congress, will be in town this week, when he will make tour of the County; to do which, we believe he will need no guide. The Colonel was one of the very first white men that settled in Yavapai, and identified himself with its mining sad agricultural industries; and we venture the assertion that not one of the four candidates in the field under stands the necessities of this class as does Ar. Woolsey. Being working man him. eelf, 1t is but reasonable to suppose that he will work for the interests of the labcring classes. His first effort will be to secure appropriations for building roads, govern nent buildings, making necessary scientific explorations of our vast and wonderful Territory, and securing for the whole Ter ritory better mail facilities. Of the four can didates in the field, none are more compe- tent, and not one 60 energetic. MT. Wool Sey bas also expressed himself by word and action @ true friend to Northern Arizona, and it is the duty of all those who have the good of the Territory at heart to see that he is elected.

To HAVE OR Nor TO HAvE--The ques- ton which is now sgitating the minds of our people more than any other onexul,ject Is, whether we are to have daily mail or one semi-oecssipsally. Whether hundred thousand dollar contract can be carried for the pitifnl sum of twenty-niue thousand dollars. The increase in all kinds of 5nsi- ness demands daily mail; the F 0. De partrnent las conceded that 1t Is necessary, and to the end that We shall be so supplied let contract for the performance of the same. The contractors thus far, now in the third month of their contract have signally failed to perform, aecordin4 tQ the terms stipulated, their work, and it would be bet ter that this service be re-iet to some one here in the Territory who has somc idea, at least of what mail service is worth in Alizana, We were much better of when we had tfl-weekly mail and saIpes Stewart as connsciur, for then xe could depend up- on receiving our mails when due.

DON'T CHANGE.

The following paragraph from the Wash
ington Republican furnishes good illustra-
ton OF the wisdom OF the policy We have 50
often advocated, of retaining old members
in Congress. Many of the districts in the
North andWest fritter away their influence
entirely by these frequent changes of..repre-
sentatives. The only way to make our in
fiuence fel.is byayoiiing frequent changes.
The Republican says;
No State that is continually changing its
representative mere at the National capital
ever impresses its wants and necessities upon
their legislation of the country. The practice
the South followed of keeping her trained
politicians always at the National capital
made the slave power 50 ponderous a factor
in Washington, and as soon as the Democra-
cy of the South came up again after the war
they sent their Stephenses, Huntons and
fuckers again % the National Council Cham
bers. The result of the presence of these
tra1nea lawmakers An bringing Southern in
. fiuences 80 quickly TO the front has more than
justified the wisdom of tnss policy,

A FAILURE.

The facts brought TO light in the trial OF
Smyth, New York superintendent Of in
surance, have forced ON the people OF that
state, the disagreeable conviction that their
state supervision of insurance is failure
and even worse than failure, since it, III
dorsements have been given to bankrupt
and dishonest companies and thus induced
the public to trust institutions that were
engaged in deliberate swindling. The New
York Times says:
Here and there il has brought a rotten COM
pany to a reckoning, and under the pressure
of public opinion it did once or twice promise
to punish gross offenders. But as regards
general mismanagement the system has not
even pretended to be operative. Extrava.
gance has acquired its present proportions
without the semblance OF legal restraint.
Companies have concealed their true condi-
ton, and the system, looking only to a me-
chanical compliance with law, has done
nothing for the suffering policy holders. The
various circumstances that have gradually
undermined public confidence in companies
until at last il assails life insurance itself,
have all been developed under-state supervis-
ion and form the most conclusive proof Of its
failure-

DODGE CITY.


Dodge City is $40 miles west from thu
Missouri River, and is decidedly frontie,
town. This is the great shipping point fol
Texas cattle, and . great many cattle an
now on the way to this point to be shipped
to certain markets. A lively time is e1.
pected here this summer, and the town i.
rapidly filling up with all classes usually
found in Texas cattle town. While
Dodge has the name of being q hard "town'
and that it is as much as q mans life i,
worth to visit it, yet 1 never was better
treated in my life than l was during my
visit there. Ny advice to man visiting
Dodge is to let bad whisky alone and not
visit any place that he would be ashamed
to be found in by his mother or sister, and
it is As safe a place to he in as any other.
1 arrived in Dodge Wednesday morning
and found the city in mourning. From
every door knob was suspended the badge
of mourning, and upon snquiring / learned
that the most respected and brave

ing previous and hence the gloom of this
usually cheerful town. The particulars Of
the killing have been much better described
than am able to do, but suffice it to say
that Dodge has lost BY the killing of
Ed. Masterson, brave officer who was not
afraid to do his duty even at the risk of his
life. He was q man possessed of kind
heart, and was much respected by the citi-

THE COTTON STRIKES.

The cotton strikes in England against the
proposed reduction of 10 per cent. in the
wages of employees will have a sympathetic
effect in this country. The English cotton
manufacturers have large stocks of unsold
goods on hand, and will NOT, therefore, be
obliged to accede to the offer of their I'M
fortunate workmen who desire to compro-
mise upon reduction OF 5 per cent. 1T
lower wages are established in England,
SO close is the competition between English
and American fabrics, that cotton manufac-
turers on this side of the ocean may be
obliged also to reduce wages in order to re-
tain their place in the market. If this re-
suit should be brought about it will be a
misfortune, as the wages of operatives in
this department of manufacture are already
sufficiently low.
