Removal of the florence Land office
 IEpitaphI

-Af-t~f@--.4
 We understand that petition is or has been in circulation In Tucson for the removal Cf the Florence Land Office to that place. In as much as the great majority of business to be done in the office for years to come will be from Pima and Cachlse counties, it is but reasonable that it should be placed as convenient Co those having business with the de- partment as uoSsitle. A now slt- uated, oil the main IIues Of travel, lt works great hardship Go those having business with It. The principle un- deriving our form of government of co the greatest good Co the greatest number n should be applied in this case. AS it now stands, those living in Cachise county have tO make ! stage drive of 2G miles to Benson, and then by rail to Casa GTande station, and then again 26 miles by stage fur ther to Florence. Another aggra- vaIing feature is that the lraYeler has 10 stop over night, both ways, at Casa Grande, the trip thus occupying l TWO uaJs. Er:.I, .L-- fssse at Tucson, the great majority Ct people would be better accommodated than now; even the residents of Phenix, who al first come to Maricopa 2S miles by stage, thence by rail to Casa Grande, and then again by stage to Florence IL would be cheaper, easier and more expeditions tor them, when once on the train, to continue direct tO Tue son. Within the coming four or five years there will be several thousand applications for mining patents from this cOunly alone, and as many more from Pima county. This will con- stitute the majority of the business of the office, therefore the department at Washington ought to order its re- moval at an early day, and there IS no doubt it will, when in possession of all the facts in the case.

Ir has always been the same WA,

IT has always been the same way with Mr. Conkling. Everybody is {" perhdious who opposes his will. IL WAS " perfdy " 10 him to oppose a third term; 1t was perfidy " to him when President Hayes appointed General Merritt Collector; and it is also perfdy 10 him Tn this State to say that hIs desIres are not always the best policy for the Republican party. It is " peridy now to qHes- ton that he and Lot Garfield is Pres ident, anu he talks so impressively about that the Committee of Safety takes the astounding position that he is right. There has never been in our politics more amazing spectacle than that presented by that commit tee when it visited the President and asked h.m 10 salute CoDkling as Boss. II IS said the President was indignant. If he had not been he whole country would have been ashamed of him.- IN. !. Tribune.

THE crown and glory of life IS a good character. IL is the noblest pos session of man, constituting a rank in itself, dignifying every station and cxaiting every position in society. It exercises a greater power than wealth, it carries with it a greater influence than fame; for it is the result of a proved honor, rectitude and consist ency.

The arguments on the motion to
set aside the criminal information in
the star route cases was begun one
morning last week at Washington
City. The government is represent
ed by District Attorney Corkhill and
Brewster, of Philadelphia; Bliss, of
New York, and Cook, of Washing
ton, and the defense by lotion, Will
son, Shellabarger, r. G. Ingersoll,
Sypher and Jefferson Chandler, of
st. Louis. The counsel on the part
of the defendants claim that in such
cases there could be no authority
found in any of the statutes for filing
a criminal information. No result
had been reached, but the counsel
for the defence, Mr.. Ingersoll, insists
that the grand jury is placed between
the citizen and his reputation and in
like cases protects his good name.

JUDGE MAXWELL will, of course,
be his own successor, but this did
not prevent some interested persons
or clique from distributing circu-
lar against the upright Judge, W hose
rulings show no bias of partiality or
personal interest. This is the first
time in the history of Nebraska pol
itics that we remember to have seen
such document, the unknown au-
thor ashamed to place his name in
connection Herewith. The circular
itself bears internal evidence of the
source whence it emanates, il not
the individual who penned its un-
truthful lines. That element, which
seems to have abundance of money
at its disposal for such work, should
expend it in square, honest business
for the accomplishment of it's ends,
and not endeavor, by means to
which assassins resort, to destroy
both character and life.
