Your Money in Advance.

The following from the Deming Headlight illustrates the character istlcs of two great corporations. 1t says:
 This is the jumping off place. There are more beggars here to the square inch than in any other town m the country. The charitable Santa Fe railroad carries these people here, and the Southern Pacific, of course, would not carry Jesus Christ unless he paid ten cents per mile in advance; therefore, these good people when broke fall back on the hospitality of the Deming citizens, who chip in about twice a week to get some hrok en.down widow woman with fif- teen children, or some glass.eyed music teacher out of town. We have got stuffed club, and he who comes around with another paper will be knocked down on the spot.

the debt on the mine is augmented 100 per cent. We have case in mind. The Big Pittsburg mine was worked and debt of about $100,, % was created. The company mort gagged their property for s300,OO0, selling their bonds for $l50,O00; the first $l0.000 received was sent out, and before they had expended one. half of the t10,000 a body of ore was struck that enabled them to pay off SS0,OO0 of their bonds. An as- sessment of 10 cents per share would have done the work, and the mine would have been out of deDt. New York has the capital, and should be the mining center; and now that the legislature is in session, let the min ing laws of the State of California he adopted, with any amendment that will make them strong, and be safety to the stockholders. We have talked with many who have gone into mining properties with stock unas. sessable, and they all say, eve do not want any more inaccessible stock that means bankruptcy"

THE Prescott Courier's Gillette correspondent says: "The Tip Top mill is shut down, but will start up into active work in short time and make things howl like a second Tombstone" From the past record of the Tip Top mine, and the reports from it's 600 level, we believe that prosperous as its past has been, its future is destined to be far better, and that it will take rank among the steady and large dividend payers of the territory.

Calusher's ExaninatiOn.
SIXTH DAY.

On the resuming of the examination, Jnseph Calisher was recalled by the de. fense, and testified tc having used the sack shown in court to wipe off the table and counter shelf where he used to fill the lamps, and d few drops of coal oil would have gotten on tEe sack; also that alter the coal oil cans were empty he used to pile them up until six or seven were on hand, then sell them. Witness also stated that on the evening of March 2d there was about half m inch of coal Oil in one of the five gallon cans, and about half an inch left after filling the lamps from the small can.
 G. c. Johnson was next called, and stated the manner in which the shelving in the store had been constructed.
 w. J. Hutchinson, of the Bird Cage, tes titied to having seen D. Calisher at his theater on the night of the fire some:tim, between the hours of 9 and II o'clock, and to having noticed him particularly abou, half an hour before the alarm of fire was given, and at he could have gone out either the front or rear way an1 not have ueen noticed by him.

CITY FATHERS ARRAIGNED.
A Mother Speaks Her Mind on the Repeal of the Restriction Orii-

nance.
 EDITOR EPITAPH: It seems from your issue of the 9th that the city fathers have extended to the demi monde the liberties of the city. Allen street was virtually theirs, to such an extent that respectable woman would hesitate to even cross it. But this was not enough. Hitherto, al though it has been impossible to pass along the streets provided with sidewalks without our ears being stunned with d roulade of oaths at every turn, we have at least been allowed certain limits for a retired house, where little children could run and play without danger of such contamination. Tombstone IS naturally fenceless city, and while it is difficult to restrain live children in little lOt, treeless, fenceess and unattrac- tive, we have felt secure at least in d re. spectacle peighborhood. This, it seems, is now to bc Cenied us, and owners of real estate are to be defenceless against the in cursions of the vilest element of the com munity. Is it possible there are not right. eous men left to save the city? Where are all the churches ana their pastors? Are they, too, joined to the cowboy element, or are they with closed eyes and ears descant ing on the wickedness of King Ahab and lamentlng the fall of Sodom and Gomor. rah? May we not at least petition this august body to define certain limits to re- strict the respectable people, if they are so sadly in the minority? A MOTHER.

GOVERNOR TRITLE seems to be making friends wherever he goes. He took the Phenixites in by his suavity, and here is what the Pres. colt (Arizona) Democrat says of him, which will, no doubt, be pleasant reading for hls friends:
 We had the pleasure of meeting Governor Tritle to-day. He is a pleasant, genial gentleman, who is sure to become a favorite with our people. He is western man, native and to our manner born. The Dem. ocrat extends to him hearty wei. come to Prescott. It is pleasan, to know that while we have not sue. ceeded in getting an Arizonan ap. pointed to the position, we have galned the next best thing. We have got a man who is thoroughly in accord with all our hopes and asplra- tions, and who will -se his best eff forts to accomplish them. Welcome, Governor.

AMONG the bills introduced in the House is one by Mir. Steele, of Indi. ana, authorizing brevet commissions for commissioned officers for dist,n- guished conduct in engagements with or campaigns against hostile Indians. This bill will not apply to the Arizona branch of the army, for the reason that none of them have thus far distinguished themselves otherwise than ny incapacity.

SOME idea of how rapidly Texas is growing may he learned from the following item from the Rockdale, Milan county, Messenger:
 The wheat fiel of Texas are look ing green and beautiful. The crop IS very promising. The area planted Is not far below six times that of last year, and if there is no serious mis. fortune an abundance will be raised for home use, which will save millions to Texas, or at least sl.5O for every bushel produced. There is no truer adage than "money saved IS money made" The importing of provis. ions into Texas is an insult to our in-. telligence. This is country from which corn, oats, wheat, hay, barley, rye and bacon should be exported!

PILES! PELES! PILES!
A Sure Cure Found at Iast-No One
 Need Suffer!

A sure cure for blind, bleeding, itching and ulcerated piles has been discovered by Dr. William, Gan Indian remedy, called Dr. Williams Indian Ointment A siu- gle box has cured the worst chronic cases of 20 or 30 years standing No one need suffer minute after applying thls great soothing medicine.

The Assessment system Endorsed

Aho assessment system Endorsed
 The EPITAPH has heretofore point ed out the superiority of the Califor. mia plan of raising working capital for mines over that of the Eastern States, where the assessment system is condemned. We see the evils of the eastern plan here in Tombstone, in many a good mine that is tied up on the share working capital, where neither the shares nor other means with which to prosecute the develop. ment of the mines is forthcoming. A New York exchange says:
 Mining for gold, silver, and lead is as much of a legitimate business as mining for iron or coal-it takes gold or silver to open iron or coal mines. There is prejudice against mining enterprises for the development of gold and silver, and the question is, Are they just? Has not the reckless. ness in which the public have gone into the mining of gold, silver and lead been the main cause for the dis. appointments that have attended many of the enterprises that have been floated upon the market? Are not our laws deficient in regard to mining interpretations? The State of California is doing more work toward the development of the pre-. cious metals than any other State m the Union. We very seldom see any of the mining properties attached or sold out by force sale. Why IS this? The laws of California are such that any one that goes into them knows that his obligations are such that he has to pay for the development of the prop. erty bought, and the mine is worked upon cash basis, and he takes his chances. In the state of New York he buys his stock, and he wants it inaccessible. The consequence is that the work in the mine is stopped until bonds can be sold at 50 cents on the dollar, and by which process

TEXAS is no longer safe refuge for crii inals from other states. It is no longer vast grazing territory, the home of the Indian and the buffalo. Railroads are extending in every di- rection, immigrants are pouring in from all quarters. Free schools. seminaries, institutions of learning are established all over the state. Prosperous villages and towns have sprung up in regions which few years ago were outside the haunts of civilization. No state in the union is making more rapid strides in the on. ward march of progress. Churches, school houses, mills, factories, and other evidences of wealth and culti. vation are springing up everywhere. Ky
