EOnlelike Hotel.
CANES GUESTS GAIN GREATLY BY HIS MANY RECENT IMPROVE
 MENTS.

Nothing so serves to advertise place, ol by no other one thing Is an opinion formed of a town by strangers than its hotels. Phe
 nix Is 50 situated that its transient popu-
 lation will always be large; through it people must pass on their way to several good sized towns and many active and wide-awake mining camps Every stage from the rail road comes loaded down with its crowd of strangers, a majority possessed of capital seeking investment in the surrounding min- cal and agricultural wealth. and, while stopping here a few daJs to rest and get the Hay of the land, they make hotels their headquarters. Hotel business Is a trade learned only by experience.

 E. Gang, an old Arizonian, located in our city and opened the Bank Exchange Hotel Situated in the business portion of town opposite the plaza, 1t has enjoyed a large patronage, and such was the treatment re- ceived that each departing guest served as advertisement for the hotel
 THE WANT OF MORE ROOM
 Some months since, compelled the erection of frame buildings containing number of rooms Still the place has been too small and last month Mir. Gang obtained a lease. of the second floor of the building on the west, which for the past year has been cccu- pied by different secret societies. The first floor of this building has been occupied by the dining rooms, under charge of Ben But Ter. On obtaining possession of the additional room MT. Gang will set men tp work, and in a few weeks pleasing and complete change has been the result of their labors. The hoor has been partitioned of, containing parlor and bedrooms en suite and single. THE ROOMS ARE ALL LARGE AND PLEASANT. We'll lighted and ventilated in a handsome manner. Soft, bright patterned carpets coy er the floor; every bed has the finest spring mattresses and each room iscompletely furn- shed, all selected with a careful hand coupled by experience of Arizona's want, md patronage.

The Murder of the Car.

Il is not worth while for any one to go
into lIrroics over the murder Of the Car
Of Russia. For long time the Russian
government has been spoken of az an
absolute despotism tempered by assassi-
nation. while the whole world has known
for several years that the Car was encom-
passed by 4 desperate secret society deter
mined To assassinate him. Several
attempts to kill him have previously been
made and it was in the nature of things
that one should finally prove successful.
1t is Of course shocking to people living
under 4 free government that assassina-
ton should be made part Of political
effort, but despair knows no law and nc
restraint, and the burden OF Russian
tyranny has been beyond human endur-
ane" for years We are not in position
To- ludgr, from our own standpoint, thu
people who have r-sorted to the most ter
rib" OF weapons against the devilisI
system which has filled the Scatiolds .
Russia with victims and the barren desc
Iation of Siberia with slaves This muci
We Ito feel il proper 10 say-that the wors
crime in yesterday tragedy was tn
crime Of murder, and the fact that tn
victim was the Gar Of Russia does no
add to the heinlou-urss Of the crime, In

a model life insurance company has

Such company the New York Life is
conceded to be. Any one can verify the
matter for himself by examining its
thirty-siXth annual report. In its thirty
six wears, it has issued more than las, 900

issued for the year was s., l3l, 500 more
than in 1879, and the net aggregate left
outstanding 5000, 100. The New York

foreign countries and admits only this

The Proposed Lottery Bill.

How it is going to help the morals OF
the large printing Office in this city, at
which most the lottery tickets used iii the
country are printed, we do not see. 1t is
not an ostentatious establishment and
has no other connection with the lottery
business than the mere mechanical work
| of printing tickets, schemes, &c, for
those who, if they do not get them here,
| will get them somewhere else. 1t strikes us
that there is a disposition down at Dover to
inject tremendous amount of new
tangled morality into the Revised Code
without much regard to whether the
simpler provisions of law to that end
already in existence are enforced or not
In moral reform as in most other matters
it is well to avoid the error rightly de-
scribed by a western phrase, which says
such or such man bit off more than
"he could chaw."
The existence of the lottery printing
establishment in this State is due to the
fact that lotteries were once lawful here,
and, as the companies have been confined
to few states, they have gone on order
ing tickets from the same establishment
because the work was well done, and
because those ordering the tickets had
implicit faith in the honesty and watch
fulness of the printers, it being matter
of the highest Importance to those con.
cerned that no duplicate tickets shall he
surreptitiously put forth
If the Legislature should conclude Il
pass prohibitory liquor law would il
consider it necessary to follow it up by
passing law against the manufacture o
barrels and bottles or the printing o
labels in this State for sale to peopl,
legitimately engaged in the business il
other states 1t had just as we'll do thi
as pass a law against printing lotter,
tickets here because it is no longer Lawful
to draw lotteries here. Lotteries are ba,
things in our estimation, but they do IL
injury to any but those who voluntaril
engage in them, while fussy, maleficien
and busy-bodyish Legislature Injuries al

1t will not be surprising If the new Car
of Russia begins his reign with more
liberal and conciliatory policy than that
of his father, but it is not in the nature
of things that he shall long continue such
a policy. No man who proclaims himself
" By the grace of God, Emperor and Auto
"crat of all the Russias, Car OF Poland,
Grand Duke of Finland" can put him
self in accord with the American idea
which is generally permeating the
masses of Europe, that all just gov.
eminent derives its authority from
the consent of the governed, and
hence, whatever his intentions, the
Gar is sure to be despot through the
inevitable temptations of arbitrary power.
The fault is not in the man but in the
system, and it will continue till the sys-
TEN is oyerthrown. The people of Russia
groan beneath burdens imposed upon
them not for their benefit, not even for
their glory, but to satisfy the pride of
reigning house which seeks rather to ex-
tend its power over new territory than to
govern wisely and equitably the vast
domain over which it rules already.
There cannot fail to be discomfort and bit
terness among many under such a condi-
ton of affairs, and the habit of arbitrary
power is to seek to enrich discomfort in
stead of allaying it, and the result is its
enlightenment and increase.
The strange result of this in Russia has
been Nihilism. Its creed, so far as we
can understand it, is that all that is in
society and government is wrong, and
that the duty of the present is to over
turn this and trust that something better
may take its place. The dreams OF the
first French revolutionists of an ideal
republic and an ideal social order seem
to have no place in the mind of the Rus
sian masses of to-day. Theirs is not the
inspiration of hope, but of despair.
There is something unspeakably pathetic
in their complete recognition of the fact
that they do not see how to build up a
better government, but that come what
may in its place the existing condition is
uncomfortable, and they intend to effect its
overthrow. The situation is without a
precedent in the worlds history, and no
man can safely predict its final outcome
but it is safe to say that it is not likely
to lessen the force of the old adage,
Uneasy lies the head that wears o
crown"
Delaware state journal. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1870-1883, 1881-03-17

The New York Times has an editorial
article landing the late Gar of Russia as
an ''enlghtened monarch and humane
IMAM" and denouncing his enemies as
Thugs. In another article on the same
page in relation to Whittier's new poem,
''The Kings Missiye," it questions the
historical accuracy of the poem and
declares that in whipping, branding and
hanging Quakers the early New
Englanders ''were not more cruel than
''their contemporaries, or, possibly, eres
ethan the nature of the case demanded. -
There is certainly consistency between
the two articles. One would suppose an
admirer of the Russian Gear would sym
pathize with the savage severity of the
early New England Puritans.
