Of the city of Tucson Hon. c. W. Beach writes to his paper as follows: 10 say that we were surprised at the growth of this pueblo during the decade since our last visit, ill expresses our views. To be sure we found the same old adobe casss, the Mexican with his burTo, the Senorita with rebozo, grace fully thrown over head and shoulder, re- 'ealing but one optic, the acequia with its green and unwholesome water, the broad-brimmed halted hombre from Sonora, the Suna and their Mexican doss and all the characteristics which go to continue genuine Mexican town. but aside from all ths, we found a large city, full of hustle, vigOr and en- terprise. Large buildings of commerce and adobe, energetic Americans direct ing the movement of a healthy business wherein Is interested ten thousand people. We found elegant stores, churches and school structures, mag niticent courthouse receiving its finish ing touch, and at least a half-dozen stately, we'll kept hotels, two news papers, the Star and CITIZEN, full of hfe and health from cause of liberal and justly deserved support. In fact, to make our story brief, we found more than we had an idea existed in southern Arizona.
 After having satisfied ourself through ly Tn regard to Pims's population, We called on Charley Shibell and ngratu lated him upon favoring other sections by emitting to enumerate Pims's total number of inhabitants.
 The political situation here ia derid- edly in favor of Porter. We are as- sured that the city of Tucson IS Repub- lican by a small majority. To gam thIs information we interviewed leading Democrats and Republicans. MT Oury Is here in the city but creates no excite ment. He is unpopular here SO far as politics IS concerned, and where he re- ceived maiOrities two years ago, in November sure and certain defeat awaits him."

THE IoTNr COUNCILMAN

Under the new apporhonment Pima county has two councilmen, and one jointly with Prnal county. The CITIZEN thinks that it would be an act of course- sy and justice, which would tend to unite more closely these two adjoining unties whose interests have always been identical, if the naming of the joint councilman was left with Pinal county, which otherwise will have no member in the council. Pima county can afford to do this, and we think Pinal county is justly entitled to this consid- eration.
 As far as we have heard the expression of the Republicans here, it is in favor of allowing the party in Pinal county to select the candidate for this office, and We doubt not that will be the wish of the county convention when it occurs.

THE Star is now calling vigorously upon the Governor to relleve us from the effects of the Yavapai fraud. Had it's appeal to Delegate Oury or the Dem ocratic Boards of Supervisors been half as earnest the apportionnent would never have been made upon the basis of the fraudulent census. Now it Is not too late to reach the case, but the way to do so Is not through an extra session of the Territorial Legislature, which would re- qulre the permission of Congress to le- gally convene, but through the courts. The Governor has issued the p-oclama- ton for the election of members of the Legislature under the apportiOnment made by the Secretary thus early to en- able the people to take such legal steps as are necessary before the election. We believe it is the duty of the Boards of Supervisors in those counties de prived of theIr just representation to take legal steps to secure their rights. Calls for an extra session of the LegislR- ture are simply clap-trap, mean nothing and can accomplish nothing. If the Democratic Boards of Supervisors in Pima and COchise counties desire to se- cure to themselves their proper right in the coming Territorial Legislature they have the time and the means to do it. IT, however, they continse to remain ln- active their constituents will suffer. but they will be sure to lay it to the right cause.

THE STARS TRADE ON TRITLE.

We can readily understand how a partisan paper will place such con- struction upon the acts of their op- ponents as will best subserve their party ends. But the attacks of the Star upon Governor Tritle can advance neither public or party interests. It IS simply Idiotic to talk of an extra ses- sion O: the Legislature. Without per- mission of Congress no session could be legally called or held. If it was called, it's acts would be as illegal as those passed by the Legislature after the eI- piration of it's lawful term. It IS also idiotic for a newspaper or anyone else to talk of an executive officer passing upon the constitutionality of a law That is the function of courts alone, and if oue Democratic contemporary Is 80 anxious, as it pretenis to be to have this fraud overthrown let 1t explain why the DEMOCRATIC BOARDS OF St. PERvIsoRs in Pima and Cochise coun- ties have neglected their duty in the premises ID not bringing suit. Then let it explain why it discouraged Dele gate Oury from attempting to secure the disspproval of the census act by Congress. These are pertinent ques- tions which the people have been wait ing to have answered, and until the Star can satisfactorily answer them, it better cease its attacks upon an officer who has served the Territory faithfully and ably, for such attacks are simply an insult to the intelligence of its readers.

TIE FRAUD 10 BE TESTED.

The people will not be fooled by the Stars dust over the Governor is- suing the election proclamation under the new apportionment That pro- clamation was issued early to enable legal steps to be taken to test the con- stltutiOnality of the apportionment. We know that such legal test is likely to spoil the Stars bargain, but 1t Is in the interest of the people whose rights We believe have been subverted by the Yavapai census and the subsequent legislative apportionment based there on. And furthermore the Governor did not issue the proclamation until he was requested to do so from here, by those who propose to step ID and perform the duty for the public which the DENo- CRATIC BOARDS OF SUPERVISORS in Pima and Cochise counties neglected. h spite Of the Stars bargain, in spite of its advise to Delegate Oury not to have a bill passed disapproving the census act, m spite oi its tirades against the Governor because he has rendered legal steps possible, the question of whether the people of the Territory must sub init to a gross fraud is to be passed upon by the courts. And all the Stars tear ing rage and vituperative abuse and proposal of absurd measures to lead the public on a wlld goose chase and defeat the ends of justice will avail nothing.
 The people are tired of waiting for Democratic officials whose duty it was to move, and have now taken the matter in hand themselves aud the Star can depend upon it something wlll be ac- complished.

The king of drivers, Dan Mace, wa present, being his first appearance al any of the circuit meetings. As he sal near my chair in the reporters gallery l had friendly chat. "Wel, Dan, thought nothing would draw you away tom New York this season. What in duced you to come?"

 What did Splan tell the Doctor?'
 "As near as I could get the run of it. he said: We're goiBg to have the fsvorite win this time-it will probably be Flora Belle. She'll take the first heat; the next one will be dead heat between her and Hattie Hunter We'll all cut loose and go for the third heat, and see how that makes the betting But the fourth heat will be the one that settles the bus mess. All of us will stop over at the half-mile pole, get out and figure up our pools, and whatever horse We stand to win most on he's got to win it, if it takes week to get through with 1t. After the heat IS over, come around and I'll tell you for half the tickets what horse that one is.'

THE following resolution on the school question was offered in the Re publican State Convention of California by Gen. W. H. l.. Barnes, and was adopted amid enthusiastic cheers and applause. Its sentiment is somewhat in contrast with analogous blanks in Democratic platforms:
 The Republican party demands that the public schools shall receive a gsner- ous support as the pillar of free govern ment; that education, from the primary school to the State University, shall bt free, and within the reach of the chil- dren of every citizen; that in further ance of this principle, we recommend Co the legislature the establishment of some system by which the State shall print and provide reading and other texts books used in the pubic schools, supplying the same to the pupils at the actual cost thereof.
