THE Eastern courts are after specu- lators in life Insurance. who operate by securing heavy insurance on aged per sons. Judge Pearson, Of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in a recent charge to the grand jury called attention to this mat ter:
 He sand 1t was notorious fact that physicians certified Co the soundness of aged persons whose condition they were perfectly aware did not warrant such a report. Agents of companies had been guilty Of equally criminal Oticuscs. and li the grand jury were cOgnIZant of any coliusIon between companies and their agents and physicians it was their duty to lndlct them for conspiracy under the common law. He also directed the at- tention of the grand jury to the fact that a law was passed at the last session of the Legislature providing for the pun lshment Of physlcIaus, agents and others who obtained insurance by mlsrcpreseu- tatlon. This law, he said, vas sot slfi- Clently comprehensive, as It should pro hlhit any person from insuTiug another unless he had iusurable interest in him. To insure a relative he considered juSti- fable, and where creditor insured debtor to secure himself against the loss of loan insurance was proper But where insurance was indulged in as a mere matter of speculation 1t deserved condemnation. This is the second time Judge Pearson has made the speculative insurance companies the subject or portion of his charge to the grand Jury, but the latter have thus far indicted none Of the fifty companies engaged ln this business in this county

cOxMEsDATIoN OF ARTHUR

The following manly oommendation cones from the editor of the Prescott Democrat:
 We know General ArthJz1' We'll: have lived m the same e-S-S ,tl1 him; held of- LIoe therSaf the same time he did: and l,l.- -Slahons. official and personal, with him. We have met him socially, and contended against him as a partisan. We believe gross injustice was done him by the last and the present Administra- ton, and specially by Evarts and Blaine, who have feared and hated him. We believe him to be a gentleman of high and honorable character. With no dis position to worship the rising sun-for the sun has not vet risen-we say we regret to see the Miner speak contemptu- ously of Arthur, and of his friend Con king and the rest, for we believe such treatment undeserved and uncalled for We expect to oppose Arthur, as we op- pose Garfield, as a Democrat; but We have quite as much personal respect for the former, as for the latter.
 ,We- commena tho aboye to the Repub- hcan journals that have been indulging in wholesale and uujus-ifiable abuse Of the Yice-Presideut The ability to rec ognize the. good qualities of political enemy is rare among political journal ists, but We are glad to see that the Democrat has 1t and in this instance exercises it.

RAILROAD COMPETITION FRS,


 An esteemed contemporary in a recent issue has very interesting ard per tinent article touching Tucson's natural advantages and urging upon our busi- ness men and capitalists the importance of having reduction works at this point. THE CTTIzES. seconds every Legitimate effort to upbuild the material interests of Tucson and the Territory, and is well aware tbat there is within hauling dis tance of Tucson millions Of dollars worth of ore that would mined and brought here fl there were reduction works. But experience teaches that capitalists are tinid. They are willing to take some chances on nature, like venturing on the probability of mines paying, but they will not willingly place money in an enterprise which is com pletely at the mercy ot some other. The reader can travel through the east and notice the location of manufacturing en- terprises. They will invariably find them at railroad centres. At other points may be found grist mills, wooien mills and feundries merely for local custom work. but she money is put into la-ge manufacturing enterprises only at nc its enjoying railroad competition or water transportation to hold the railroad in check. The first thing capitalists ask when requested to take hold of some enterprise is as to the competition in freights. Wher informed that one line holds the key to the situation, 1t is very dificalt to get them to invest their moncy in-s,n undertaking no matter how promising. Tucson should be the point ef all others in the Territory that should have reduction works, etc, and our citi- zens should be alive to their interests in this regard
 The first thing to be done is to secure a competing line of road, connect the city with the coal fields so as to obtain a convenient supply of fuel, and there will be no trouble about the other. If this city had a competing line of railroad it would not be six months before com plete reduction works be erected here. Our advantageous location would at once be apparent to capitalists and they would not be slow to avail themselves of the opportunity. Railroads are the first things to be sought after by city aspiring to metropolitan proportions and commercial and manufacturing im- portanee. Having these advantages all others will be added to them, but lack ing them they will lose even those that they have.

THIRTY thousands tons of copper are
 used in the United States per annum
 ono-half of which is produced by twd mines in the Lake Superior region-tha Calumet and Hecla. It costs about S25O
 per ton of pure metal laid down at the Atlantic seaboard. Other ores from the same district are of lower grade and cost more to reduce, and are 50 much poorer m quality that the opening of such i'm mense copper deposits as there are in Arizona and New Mexico will, upon the first principles of supply and demand, reduce the value of this metal to such a figure that the low-srade copper ores cannot be worked at a profit and the mmes will be abandoned. There is an apparently ineXhaustible amount of cop per ore Tn New Mexico which will aver age one-third of the pure metal, while the Superior ores average about one twentieth. The difference in cost Of mining and transportation is consider able Tn this comparison and the metal can be delivered at New York for from slN to seven cents a pound or Sl40 per ton at most. New Mexico and Arizona will supply the world with copper. No doubts that at all. The value of the metal will not be decreased very much; although sufficiently, per haps, to close uD some of the poor mines which are now paying meagre dividends to the stockholders. Mining World.

A Iienioa> Crime.

The following account of an affair that
 for fiendish brutality and supreme law lessness stands unequaled, even among | the annals Of the cowboy and Indian
 Outrages, was given to an Epitaph re-
 porter yesterday by gentleman of un- | questionable veracity:
 ! About ten days ago the thirtcen-year- | old daughter of a man named Stroud,
 who lives in Ramsey's Catyon. came into | her father's house, saying that as she | passed the Mexican wOOd-chOppers' ! camp, about mile distant, she had been | lnsulted hy one of their boys. Without | the slightest iE yestigatiOn Stroud imme- | dlate-y raised a parry of dozen men | all Americans, fully armed-and pro- | ceeded with them to the wOOd-chOppers | camp. There they gave orders to have | the boy seized and whipped. His shirt | was taken from his back and nine Mex | jeans with bnotted fawhide thongs were | compelled under penalty of death to ad- minister five isshes each with all their might. Among the number was the boys father, who by dint of the most l heartrending entreaties, was allowed the l privilege of giving lns son only two hard lashes
 As soon as the Amerlcans left. the 1 MexicaDs started for Sonora, taking the boy with them; but before they had pro- ceedcd thirty miles on their way. the boy died from the effects of the whip ping, and was buried almost on the line by the father and his friends.
 The girl now denies her frs. state
 meut, and says that she merely made
 the story mp for fun. Great fears are entertained by the respectable portion of the community that the Mexicans
 will return in a body, seeking vengeance, and that 1T SO, the innocent will be made Co sutler with the guilty.
 \ petition, already numerously signed. has been started, begging the county officials to take the matter in hand and protect them in case of an intrusion by the friends of the dead boy.
 The people are evidently mistaken about the necessities Of the case, as in- stead oi wasting time petitioning for such an impossible favor, they should proceed tO get out warrants and secure tine arrest of these hellish criminals. IL k simply absurd for them to think that the Sheriff or any other officer of this county could e9ulp and send out the necessary force of men tO protect them from an expected attack. Better far that they should first exert themselves to ex- OrCise the diabOlical and disreputabie elements from among them, and then arm and make preparations to stand any attack that may be made Epitaph.
