ARIZONA SENTINEL.
a7'HSDAT, = NoVEMBER29, 1879

The "Ph@nix Herald" in an
article on the Cuban rebellion,
Gays: ''the sympathies of the
American people have always
o9@n with the struggling patriots,
out for some inscrutable reason
ne authorities at Washing ton
Ave persisted in maintaining an
attitade of Indifference toward
&em, if not an attitude of hos
,ility."
The reasons are not~sO very
lnscrutable to those acquainted
with the inner workings of our
State Department when this hos
tile policy was inaugurated, the
writer has heard authorities in
Cuba, high in command, boast
that Spain had bought the Gov
eminent Of the United States
They certainly did pay $4,000 as
retaining fee to Sidney Webster,
son-in-law of Secretary Fish, not
for his legal ability, for they EN-
ployed other attorneys when
needed in our Courts.
The late Hon. Caleb Cushing,
had several Cuban clients at the
beginning of the rebellion, and
was favorably disposed to the
Cuban cause. A quarrel occurred
between him and Miguel Aida
ma, resulting in the substitution
of other attorneys by several of
these clients. Mr.. Cushing, about
this time became inimical to the
Cuban cause, and continued very
bitter against them until his
death. Caleb Cushing exerted a
very strong influence upon our
foreign policy. Had General
Rawlins lived. perhaps the State
Department would have reflect cd
the sympathy of the American
people.

The postal authorities have received
directions that hereafter, when they know
matter deposited in their Offices is dcstin
ed for any well-known city, although the
State may not be given, it must be for
warded to its destination. This is virtu
al resembling of the Postmaster--Gen
absurd order, and will result in its relega
ton to the pigeon-hele devoted to dead
letter" regulations ."-Chronic1e
The greater portion Of the opposition
to the late. mischievous order of the Post
master General, seems to hav. been
against that part exacting that the State
should be specified in the address Of a
letter; to US, and all dwelling in sparse
ly settled regions, the greater harm is
done by that part of the order which de-
clares all matter directed to other than
established offices to be unavailable, be-
cause it practically takes away the bene-
fits of mail facilities from all residing on
postal routes, and. as is so generally the
case IN Arizona, so far from the few regu-
lar post-offices established in the Ter
ritory.

The Arizonan " proves o.
that Republicans increase the tax
es and that the reverse is the case
with Democrats. This is done by
comparing the rate Of taxes Of
different States, New Hamphire
with Georgia. New York with
North Carolina, and especially is
the rate of Iowa commented up
on.
1t would be of interest to see
comparisons made, between these
States, as to public schools, high
ways, buildings and improve
ments inuring to tn epublic veal;
in fact, as to the public benefits
on which the taxes raised are eX-
pended.
Ifthe rate of taxation proves
the economy or extravaganza OF
the political party governing, of
course the statistics of the coming
census will give US much infor-
nation; should 1t be found that a
larger proportion of the inhabi-
tants of Republican States know
how to read and write than those
of the Democratic States, it will
prove the latter party the most
ignorant.
In New Hamphire, nearly
every inhabitant pays a tax, in
Georgia many have no taxable
property and pay none, yet in the
Arizonan's calculation they form
part of the divisor in obtaining
the per capita rate;
In Virginia, which is compared
with Iowa, we have lately seen
the result of their rate Of taxa
characterization.
The bonds of these States, and
their market value, might be in
structively compared.

The editor of the "Silver' Belle"
1--WE begin to believe it is only
plated after all for it lacks the
true, honest ring of silver, wakes
wroth with the SENTINEL, and
infiicts nearly column of tumble
and drivel on its readers and
all because we referred to him
by the. ungentlemanly epithet
of old "Hack."
He commences thus " Because
we refused to be guided by the
vapid emination Incorrectly
spelled, old Hack Of the Arizona
SENTINEL's pen, which it digni-
fes as advice" etc.
But the "Belt" did take our
advice, which was to stop his
"Indian scares," and for several
issues has had no account of the
number of San Carlos Indians in
the neighborhood of Globe &c.
However, old Hack, you are
welcome to hack away at us,
though the topic is somewhat
Hackneyed to your poor readers.

1t is reported that in his Forthcoming
report Attorney General Devens will re-
commend the abolition Of the fee system o.
compensation of United States attorneys
and that instead they be paia stated sala-
ries. The change is one tAst ought long
since to have been made, for 1t does net
cemport with the dignity of the govern
ment nor with proper notions of public
justice, that the pay Of its attorneys
should be ontingent upon procuring con-
victions and forfeitures. The sole inter
est Of the government in the natter is
that justice be done, and it is hardly con-
sonant with justice that the legal repres-
sentative of the United States should
have any personal interest in a conviction

REPUBLICAN CITY CONVEN
TON.
IT'S CANDIDATES.

A report Of the proceedings Of the
Republican City Convention is pub
lished in this paper. The convention
met pursuant Of notice and made q
nomination and its candidates is now
before the people. For Mayor the
convention nominated Frederick Rob
inson--a life long Democrat It seems
that Robinson and FAIR were the only
candidates voted for on formal ballots
for Mayor. Neither Of them WAS at
the convention and probably neither
of them wanted the nomination. Dr..
Farr is reported to have said he would
not accept the nomination. The Dem
Ocrats willprobably nominateRobinson
giving him the candidacy for Mayor
all to himself, as Farr had the candi-
ydacy all to himself q year ago. It
would make more fun, however, if The
Democrats would reciprocate by nonli-
mating Republican for Mayor.
The other candidates are Republi-
cans, and two af them, Benedict and
Stebbins now hold the Offices for which
they have been nominated, and give
general good satisfaction. McDermott
and Sutherland are fully qualified fol
the offices for which they are nominal
ed, and Harkins is said to be, though
we are not personally acquainted with
him andcan not speak Of his fitness fol
the office from our own kno Wledge.
Altogether the nomination may be
said to be q good one, but being head
ed by a Democrat, it would not be
strange if one Republican or more
should be nominated by the Democrats
though not for Mayor. And there viii
probably be some split tickets. Pres
ent indications are that the canvass
and perhaps the election viii be some
what mixed.
