IT is serious question whether the
high rents now prevailing in our city
are an unmixed evil or not. To some
extent they. are a helping along the
advancement Of the city and the ex-
tension of her boundaries by offering
large rewards for the enlistment of
capital and drawing thousands of dol
lars here for Investment. Tho human
hogs who won't risk dollar unless
they can get twenty per cent. are
building houses rapidly in oil portions
of the city. The high rents can't last

The coffee crop Is falling off in Bra
iii. This is attributed to political
causes. Brazil has two parties
of which may be called the republican
party, and the other the party of free
dom. II has frequently been stated
that respectable portion of the no.
bility, and majority of ihe oommon
people of Brazil, desired that the
country should be converted into
republic on the death of the present
emperor. Dom Pedro stands so high
in the affection of his subjects that
nothing of the kind will be attempted
during his reign. 1t has been hoped,
however, that when that reign termi.
mated public sentiment would be SO
preponderating for the change that no
difficulty would be encountered in ef-
fecting it. But it seems that obstacles
to this result are being interposed not
heretofore anticipated. The work of
converting monarchy into republic
without revolution, or war Of some
kind, has occurred very rarely in his.

a supervisory authority over the superintendent and the making of all contracts. It would be bet. ter to give the superintendent arbitrary auth ority to reject all prison supplies, in the way of food and clothing, not coming up to the demands of the contract. There should be a provision, also, setting up that the superinten- dent can be discharged by the Board, for malfeasance in office, but only upon a trial before the Board, wherein the testimony of witnesses, questions and answers, shall be taken down, and with the right of cross examination, the privilege of counsel and the right of appeal to the District or County court.
 The passage of such a bill would be great improvement upon the present state of affairs, and we confidently look for its introduc- tion, for the legislature is largely Democratic on joint ballot. Such a bill would involve purely De- mocratic principles, in operating against a centralization of power, in favor of legislation for the people and by the people,"
 There is rumor that all tn ( Democrats of the present legisla tive assembly have gone over tc the Republican party, but of the foundation therefor we have nc present knowledge. As for us we are, for the present, purely and strictly independent.

We notice that Hon. G. W. Norton, menber, from this cOKn- ty, of the House of Representa- lives, is an applicant for the posi-, tion of Prison Commissioner. Mir. Norton, we believe, would do cre' dit to Yuma county. Michael Goldwater, of Yavapai county, is also an applicant, and, being a gentleman of heavy business in- terests, would be responsible for all his acts. Both gentlemen are Democrats and, on the question of politics, cannot be objectionable to the majority of the legislative Assembly.

The Speaker.

The Prescott papers are full of bitterness because the House re- buked thelr criticisms on the rul- ings of the Speaker. They claim that the freedom of the press is being tempered with, and expect thereby to drag every paper in the Territory into a sympathetic fight. We fail to realize that any attempt has been made to gag the press. and are Tn full ac. cord with the action of the House. The ralings objected to were
 made by the Speaker during the squabble over the Act dividing Pima county, and the Hninitidted will naturally wonder at the in- tense interest taken by the De- mOerat and Miner in that mea- sure. It is the capital question over again. The Yavapai dele gatiOn joined hands with the Tombstone delegation on the pro- position that Prescott shall re- main the capital, and. in trade for that privilege, the county of Cachise was created free from debt. etc. MT. Knapp felt that he could not enter into any such combination, consistently with
 the dignity that should clothe the Speaker, hence the hue and cry of indignation. We are stat, isg cur opinion, based upon what we have gathered from the pub lished proceedings. How did the Spraker rule? We find, on exa. imitation, that BoIan of Maricopa moved to table an amendment
 and, upon the motion being car. ried, the Speaker decided that tabling an amendment carried the subject matter with it. Does any1 one deny that to be correct de. cision? Such motion is a stale trick, something like fools mate if chess The Speaker again ,ul- ed that it took two-third's vote to take the bill off the table under a suspension Of the rules. Who questions that ruling? If we are correct in our suppositions as to the lnftter ruled on, then the Miner and Democrat should pub licly retract. The condemnatory !
The Arizona sentinel., 1881-01-29

Our dispatches state that the governor has not yet signed any bills, not even that creating the county of Cachise. Of course he will hold the whip over the legis- lature as long as that body will allow him so to do. We don't blame him much. We would kick any man that would stand and take the hooting.
The Arizona sentinel., 1881-01-29

resolu, ion passed by the House was not an attack upon the freel dom of the press, but a defence of an official unjustly censured. We hold, further. that only an act of wilful malfeasance on the part of the Speaker, can justify the casting of, aspersions bey the press, for it is serious matter to break down the respect legisla- tive body should always enter tain for its presiding officer.

We have received the printed copy of the bill, introduced by Bolan, for the establishment of county courts. We believe in the measure, but have not yet had time sufficent to enable us to pass upon the merits of the bill as a bill. We congratulate MT.

STUFF!


 The Democrat and Miner have in mid way, found fault with us for arraiguing Hon. John W Dsrrin ston on the subject of his bill repeating the Sinking Eund Act of this county. The farmer suggests that {" the Speaker (proprietor of this paper) e be taken under thes she'd" a.d the lat ter ascribes our article to malice. In reply to the suggestion of the Democrat we only reiteratc what we stated when we took charge of the editoriol part of this paper. that us alone are responsible for what we write. The proprietor of the SEN TIBKL has no more control over its pre-. senteditor, than has the geniel Judge himself. It is so named In the bond. In answer to the charge of our having any malice for MT. Darlington, we would respectfully ask the foundation for such an accusation. He is not much uglier than VIC are, neither of us owe each other and we never ran for the same office. In fact we rather like Darlington.
 We did charge that the gentleman pledged himself to his constituents not to make any legislation touching the fnan- eial condition of Yuma county. We can prove that allegation by,at least, fifty afi- davits. Further, we stated that he owned amajorty of all the out standing warrants sf this county and paid 8 personal pro- perty tax sn not more than 400 dollars. The official records prove that assertion. We. also, laid down an opinion that the passage of his bill would benefit him d. rectly. as spsculOr. at the expense of the county and the poor. That opinion has not yet been taken up. We fully re csgnize the cat in the meal tub, but have ne desire to expose it, unless it is propos- cd ts Iced some fthe meal to the county this paper represents. We have no inter- est in any combination to keep the capital at Prescott, and dent care ( cent whether 1t stays there CT gees to any other place, unless sueh combination be consumat- ed by trade operating against the peo- pie among whom we have pitched our tent. The Miner enlogizes our Council nan's record, and VIC take it for granted our esteemed cotemporsry knows all about it. In that connection, however, assert that if Mir. Darlington proves false to the people who have trusted him, We will nail him and bis record to the cross We hold that < newspaper has g higher mission than that which smanates from a bare deslrs to pander to the demands of individual friendship. Malice! Go con- suit the petition that went iron here to eur representatives at Prescott, Mr Beach. and you will find the names of all the prominent business men of Yuma witA these of Dorripgton's most intimate friends attached thereto. One other word Whenever Nr. Dorringten does any de- serving act. as ( legislator, we will praise hin-whsnever Mr. Knapp, the proprie- tor of this paper, goes astray, we will damn him. We propose to live up to the motto sfthis paper" independent in all things, neutral in Rothsng."

The Prison Commissioners.

Petitions are flying all over the town in behalf of and against different persons, applicants for the position of Prison Commis' sioner. We have no Idea how much money there is in the office and it may be that all these peo- pie have but disinterested de- sire to serve their country. In any event we hope the best man may succeed. There is one fea, ture of the Act creating the com' lnissioners, that, in our opinion, is radically wrong. The appoint ing power lies with the governor. No reason exists why this should be so, and there are many logi- cal arguments against leaving this patronage with the execsti- ve. The Board of Prison Con- missioners is creation of the rerritory-the Prison itself be- longs to the Territory. Every dollar towards it's construction has been appropriated by our legislature-not one ounce of as sistance have we had from the general government. The gov. ernor is but au agent of the latter. with all his powers defined and his emohuments fixed. We can not legislate a jot of authority nor . dollar in money away from him. He is seated in the execul tive chair whether we will or no, and may be a man of brain or a lunatic, good, bad or indifferent, or a mere ornament. We cannot change him. In the past he has been a leech pon the corporate body of the Territory, draining us of patronage and money. AS a rule he has not been worth kicking, yet we have fallen down and worshiped him because he sat in high place.
 We suggest. as an experiment, that we cease to be mere syco, phabets and assume the stature of independent manhood. In other words let us handle our own money and patronage. and let us begin by taking away from the executive the appointment of Prison Commissioners. Their selection properly belongs with the Legislature itself, for the members thereof represent tbe people and their property, while the governor represents only himself.
 The two Houses, in joint ses, sion should elect the Commission CTS and the Superintendent. The latter should not be appointed by the Commissioners, but should he in a measure independent, thus serving as check upon possible fraud. The Commissioner should have the disDOSjtiOn If tho f1ndS.

Council Chamber, Eleventh Legislative Assembly. Prescott, Arizona Territory, Jan. 17th, 1881. To tho Hon. Samuel Purdy Jr.
 Yuma, A. T.
 Dr. Sir.
 Your kindness shall eOer remember.
 Yours &c.
 J. w. Darlington.
 The above, enclosing the arti' cle written by us against any financial legislation for Yuma county, arrived in due course of mail. AS the envelope was ad- dressed to the " Editor of the Sentinel" we feel bound to give the cOmmunication a place Tn the columns of this paper. We hardl ly understand it's contents, as we have never been guilty of the performance of any especial act of kindness fer MT. Darlington. The two words in italics sOme- how look threatening, and we presume mean all sorts of legis. lation against the office of the Recorder of Yuma county. We happen to hold that office-ran for it to keep that much maehInI cry out of the hands of the Re- publicans. They hold all the rest of the machinery of this county. The legislature is Democratic, but as Hereford's Registry Act will hand the Territory over to the Republican party it won't make much difference.
 The Democrats of this county permitted MT. Darlington to go to the legislature in order to gain a few votes for Grant Oary. Ii was mistake but who could i'm, agine that Republican minority coald capture Democratic majOr ity. Gentlemen, you may desert your party, and punish its adher- ents, but, when you do, it will be wisdom on your part to find another party. The one you betray will lepudiate you for all time. This is plain language but we are in particularly independ- ent humor, probably owing to the fact that we are editing an finder pendent paper.
