BUll Ruttpr.

This is a misnomer, for how ia the world can there be such thing as bull butter? And yet we hear the boarding house keepers say that It does exist, and further, that it is not so strong as the ordi- nary butter made out of water milk, salt and very bad lard. This oleomargarine business ought to be stopped; it is an en- croachment upon the time -honored rights and interests of the genuine bovine. She can't keep her lick up against such unlaw- ful innovations of science. The wear and tear upon her system is too great in the spring of the year for her to make $ good fair average in the fall when the grass gets dry. The ordinary COW makes stand off with the dairyman who gives two pints of milk. She knows that 95 per cent of milk is water, and she just whoops herself up on the water question. But she can't furnish genuine butter and compete with palverized rubber boots, army blank cts, old pants and wornout bacon rinds
 We are in favur of COWS having fair chance. It is butter for all. We have all admired, at various stages of our lives, the milky way" Some always have a hankering in that direction, and it is the ardent admirers of nature that we expect to assist in the suppressing of bull butter.

A LITTLE TALK.

No newspaper that makes any pre- tensions to journalism, or is recog nized by standard journals in the east or west, ever indulges in low insinua- tions or petty personalities. A paper that does so is beyond the pale of decent journalism. If the editor of a paper does not like what is said regarding his paper or himself, he does not reply in similar strain, as such nlatter is of no possible interest to his readers, but seeks his traducer, and in few plain, simple words states his position. If gentleman is opposed to him, the matter is sooA settled, one way or the other. There is no fighting behind the bush for To. cal notoriety. Since the EPlTAPu has been under its present manage ment, it has endeavored to treat all questions fairly and justly, all the time keeping in view the general progress and prosperity of the territory, and this section in particular. During the late campaign, it was necessary, in bitter and aggressive fight, to say many things, which carried with them no peponal feeling of animosi- ty. But now that the battle is over, there is no occasion for petty dissen- sions among those who have the in terest and welfare of this community at heart. We should all strive to make it recognized abroad, as it is acknowledged on this coast, the ban ner mining camp of the Pacific slope. That the possibilities of the county seem almost beyond the range of reali.''; that Der hills and mountains contain, within their rocky bosoms, untold treasures, which but await the talisman of capital to add to the great stream of wealth, and contrib. Ute to the riches and greatness of our country; that her fertile valleys and broad mesas not only await countless herds of roaming cattle, but that the soil will smile with or. chards and vineyards, with green meadows and fields of waving golden grain, and happy contented homes. This is our duty, and with its consci. entious performance an era of pros. perity will dawn upon us, such as no county in the great southwest has ever experienced. But it will rot come while local disturbances exist. It will not come while the dagger of the assassin is in our back. It will not come while the whisperings of the slanderer are abroad. In will only come, when hard to hand, and shoul- der to shoulder, We work together, heart and soul, for the prosperity and the future of our country.

A COMING TREAT.

In the Examiner of a recent date is an interview with manager Abbey in which he allows the San Francisco people to infer, if not actually be- lieve, that the noted English beauty and presumed actress, Mrs. Langtry, will visit this coast. We have all heard much of Engliah lilies, but this recent importation IS of new variety, at least new to this country, although it IS possible that the "Prince" variety may be quite com mon there. In fact, we have every reason to believe that such is the case, although not the most popular of the species. They might orna- ment dinner table, but we hardly think they would grace church at high mass or communion. Mrs. Langtry's advent will be quite a treat to the curious. Her beauty is after all an unsolved problem, her reputation is of the most interest ing character, and her limbs will, according to critics, afford peculiar study to anatomists or "dip, spur and angle" sharp. Then should Gebhardt accompany her, the Cali fornians will have a sort of side show, of fapjack hat, high collar, pimply neck and pointed shoes. It will be unique show, and we only regret we will not be able to witt ness it.

IN DIANS.

Our eastern exchanges inform us that the noted Indian chief, Red Cloud, will soon visit Washington to lay before Secretary Teller his yer sion of affairs at the Pine River agen- cy, and it is understood that he will renew the charges against Agent McGillicuddy, who was, not long ago, vindicated by an investigation. Sec retarY Teller has recently declared an excellent doctrine concerning the treatment of Indians,and Red Clouds visit will afford him an opportunity to lay before that influential chief, in detail, the advantages to be derived from the adoption of the habits of civilization, by all American Indians. He is intelligent enough to under stand the considerations, which Sec retary Teller is prepared to present to Indians, in favor of the sale of their arms, the education of their children, and the distribution of their land in farms. But, still, we have little faith in the civilization of the Indian, and none whatever, so far as Secretary Teller's policy applies to the Apaches. They cannot be tanned, as it were, and, while the San Carlos reservation, with its four thousand bloodthirsty savages, re- mains in Arizona,it will be constant menace to the progress and prosper ity of this country. With the re- moval of this tribe, to the Indian ter rity, few years would see the valleys filled with happy homes. Sulphur Spring valley would prove one of the finest stock ranges in the southwest as well as the banner cereal producer. There is hardly any kind of grain but will grow there without any irrigation, as we have two rainy seasons. But this dream of agricultural wealth will never be realized while the set tier is In constant fear of an out break, with its attendant horrors. We trust our delegate in congress will be able to effect something in this direction during his present term. The present and prospective wealth of the country demands it. It demands protection that the untold wealth of the hills and mountains may be developed, that the valleys and mesas may glisten with golden grain, with blooming orchards and thousands of prosperous homes.

THERE is unfortunately no reas'

THERE is unfortunately no reason to doubt that the letter which has been given to the press written by J. J. Collins, the naturalist of the "Jeannette," to Commander De Long, while the party was still locked up in the ice, shows the real condition of affairs on the exploring vessel. Collins complained, in short, that although he joined the party for scientific work, De Long treated him as no better than a common sailor, and purposely snubbed him from first to last. This is the habitual dis position of many regular army and navy officers toward civilians. In the war the West Point generals took particular delight in making out that the volunteer generals were "no good," and the same spirit prevails in the navy. Collins letter commands respect by its calm expression of wounded feelings, and ought to bring these Arctic follies into fresh contempt.

SOME of our contemporaries con- tinue to harp on Thurlow Weeds Parthian shot at the Masonic frater- ni.y; but it is all lost, there is noth- ing in it. It contains no new point whatever. The Morgan episode has no more to do with the standing of the order in our day than has the crime of Arnold with the reputation of the federal army.

The Territorial Secretary.

The Star has bee in it's bonnet again. It says: "The volub!e and loquacious secretary of Arizona travelled east, re- gently, and while absent courtcd consider able newspaper nutoriety. In the course of his travels he discoursed to reporters of various journals, and criticised men and things in the territory in most remark ably free and easy style, and not at all times strictly adhering to the truth. This peculiarly of our perpatetic secretary has provoked from the Albuquerque Review some very sensible advice, which MT. Van Arman will do we'll to lay to heart. A bad word, like bad penny, frequently turns up in an unexpected way"

SECRETARY FoLGER estimates tl

SECRETARY FoLGER estimates the surplus revenue of the current year at S75,557,043, over and above the amount of s44,422,956 due the sink ing fund for the reduction of the debt. If this is true statement, $75,0O0,OOO is the amount by which taxes ought to be reduced, suppos- ing that there is to be no increase in expenditures next year. In stating the probable receipts of this year at S4l5,OOO,OO0 and the expenditures at S295,OO0,000 exclusive on the sinking fund, or $34O,0oO,O0O including it, Judge Folger, sets the expenditures at point of s37,OOO,O0O below the regular annual and permanent ap- preparations for the year.

When, by chance, an editor kills a man, who threatens or attempts to take his life, he is generally abused for all time, and the most bitter are envious rivals. All newspaper readers will remember the late St. Louis tragedy, in which Editor Cock. erill shot and killed Lawyer Slay. back, who walked into his office and attempted to shoot him. In referring to the action of the grand jury in the case, the Chicago Inter-Ocean, ci the 5th, says:
 "Outside of his own city, CGi. Cockerill has received the most cordial sympathy and support of the editorial profession, which will rejoice at this just conclusion of an unhappy affair.

EVERY once in a while we come across an exchange that republishes what J. P. Clum is purported to have said to reporter of the Washington Post. We do not believe that J. P. is the monumental liar which that interview makes him. If he is, he advertises himself as an arrant COW. ard, and we do not believe him to be such. We will be charitable with the erring and try to think it is mis- take, or better, believe the reporter gave his imagination a day off.

A LESSON.

The republican party are guilty of base ingratitude. It is Tn this manner that an eastern exchange accounts for the defeat of that party:
 A set of national leeches exist at Wash 'ington which must be sloughed off before the republican party can return to condi- Ition of good health. Hubbell and Riddle berger arc types of the element alluded to- They are not republicans, but the republi- 'can party is made resposible for their mis- behavior by the people at large. They are mot democrats, and the democracy will gather the glory of choking them off RThey are the dirty work department of |stalwartlsm, of which Conkling is king kand Arthur has been high priest. A few years ago, yes, even less, zand Conkling "might have stood ;against the world, now none are so Spoor as to do him reverence" In <fhe old days of Grantism he was one fof the chief rulers of the republican
 arty and a power in the land. His

 tage-horse, to pasture upon his shat sfkred hopes and crushed ambitions.

 their defeat, of permitting New

 l Wolsley:
 have touched the highest point of all my great IN ness
 knd from that full meridian of all my glory,
 paste now to my setting; shall fall 1ke bright exhalation ih the evening, <od no man shall see me more."
 l All this teaches lesson profound & its deductions. Ir this magni- * bent republic no man caa attain a Might but from which the voice and X Ell of tho people can hurl him. &H hile he serves them in truth and 1zdelity his reward will be great, but lehen in arrogance and inordinate sAnity he places himself above their I'll, he "falls like bright exhala-
 op." Such is the history of the
 forld, and who can gainsay but it is HEle true interpretation of "the survi.
 val of the fittest?"

IN the multitude of things which Postmaster General Howe wants to have done to or by his department, there is no request for reduction of letter postage. But President Arthur sees what is wanted and heartily re. commends the reform. MT. Howe does not wont ? cent postage, but does want to have the government give an envelope to every person who buys a postage stamp, for this is the amount of his advice about the sale of stamped envelopes at the price of the (3.cent) stamps.

We don't believe this story, and yet we are told that it is positive fact: "A med ical student while in dissecting room filled up his pockets with a lot of ears and fingers and toes and such, and then loafed around to the butcher shop and slyly scat tered them about in odd corners near the sausage machine. And customers coming in saw them and were mortified, and de- manded explanations, which the wretched butcher could not give, and the story of the scandal spread and the whole neighbor- hood was aroused, and the butcher had to escape across roofs to avoid being lynched, and will never return to the city, unless brought back by officers to answer fright full charge of murdering men for sausage meat.

with some degree of surprise. that the Telegraph not only does not in dorse the move but antagonlze, it.. It says: "Mr. Blaine would be the most vulnerable of presidential can- didates. He would be upon the de. fensive at every stage of the cam paign. There was never an Ameri- can who once possessed in a greater degree than MT. Blaine the general love and confidence. The people suffered more than he did when they found their great political idol was not the patriot and statesman they thought him to be; but, once thrown down from the pedestal of tEeir trust and esteem, it was impossible, and is, for Ms. Blaine ever to be raised to it again. He is towering green oak, blasted by wind and lightning. He still stands where \he stood, but his vitality has departed. It is only a blasted, bare trunk, occupying the ground of the live, swaying full leaved tree that gave pleasure to the eye and confidence to the mind" Mr. Blaine never was the "great DO. lltical idol" of a majority of the American people, but 1t is undeni- able that there was a time when he was admired and loved by consid- erable portion of them. We believe with the the Telegraph that he has wasted his opportunities, and that he will never gain higher round of the political ladder. He has left host of friends, and, being man of great resources and unquestioned skill as politician, he will yet exercise posi-. tive influence in his party, and per haps repeat in 1884 his performance of 1880 by forcing it to nominate for the presidency man of his choice.

IIi &ks HiSes looked as : sing as at present,

eursSlng as at present, n has the future appeared bsgghter, and yet ia our midst there is doubt and distrust. Our warrants are selling for less on our streets chan they bring in Tucson or San Francisco, where investors are proverbially careful. And why |? Because an enemy is whispering islanders in the dark; because a mid. night assassin is stabbing us in the back, and pouring into the ears of the crcdulous falsehoods conceived in malice, born ia hate, and given to the world with all the bitter vindic- tiveness arising from blasted hopes, baffled ambition, and the crushing humiliation of an ignominious de- feat. It is that damnable spirit which sometimes possesses men and urges them to tempt the dangerous experiment of "rule or ruin" It is disturbing element that mars the serenity and detraets from - prog reSs of our district, and from being looked upon with doubt and distrust, will later be treated with evasion and ignominy. Let us, however, hope for the best, and all who have in tcrests here, who pay taxes, who have their business and household gods here, battle on in the good fight, never faltering, never losing courage or faith, and the streaks of light now breaking along the horizon will burst into the full, bright, golden sun of glorious prosperity.

THERE will be large number of contested cases for the next congress to decide. In fact it will occupy a large portion of the time to the ex- clusion of more important matters. So great has this evil grown of late that it may almost be termed busi-
 kess. A candidate defeated by few Votes contests the seat of his more Fortunate opponent. Congress tries the case, the defeated generally act ing as his own lawyer, and should the decision be against him, he receives a large allowance for legal fees, which he pockets, and although losing the seat, is financially gainer. On this subject the Globe Democrat says:
