dent, in special message to Congress, trans
mitted communication from Secretary
Kukwood, inclosiBg letters from acting Gov.
error Gosper, of Arizona, in relation to the
lawlessness in that Territory. The Presi.

neglected LEGAL sslf-government until the more
lazy and lawless elements of society have I'M

The indications are that the Democrats
