COMPARISONS ARE SOMETIMES oDrous


 \ New Mexican paper remarks that Arizona IS now where New Mexico was six years ago. It refers to growth and wealth. It is astonishing how little some people know what is going on in the world outside of their own neicbbor- hood. New Mexico has enjoyed peace and such prosperity as the resources of the country brought for the past half century, while Arizona did not begin to settle up, nor had it any protection to lie or property, until Gen. Crook sub dued the Apaches in 1877. We do not claim as large population as New Mex ico, but when they talk about wealth or prosperity, they do not begin to con- pare with Arizona. We havo more graz ius lands and better timbered lands than New Mexico. We have nearly double the amount of agricultural land that New Mexico has, and water with which 60 :rrIgate it, and We may add that 1t IS being rapidly settled upon, and improved. Ourmines produced ove. sI2- 100000 last year and they will yield from two to three more millions this year than they did last. The pro- ducticn of the precious metals ID New Mexico amounted tO less than S5OOOOO. Our climate is far superior to that of New Mexico. We claim to have more energetic and thrifty people. Seven- eighths of the population of Arizona are American, while perhaps not more than half of the population Of New Mexico be. long 10 this nationality. While we have no fault to find with the population of '',-- 1i4vico, st cannot be denied that a large portion Of its popeIa,Iu.. S@i..,, to a class of people who are ages behind he present day and generation. and there Is no immediate prospect of in- using lie or activity into them for gen srations to come.
 It is not the desire of the CITIZEN to iraw unfavorable comparisons with New Mexico, but when tue journals Of that territory begin to tell the world how much further they are advanced than .rizoua, and how much greater induce ments'they offer, we believe it to be our ,uty to give the facts. We have DO i'll feeling toward the people Of our neigh boring territory, but on the contrary we feel kindly toward them and will be pleased to learn of their prosperity and uccess, but when they go out of their way to draw anfavoEble comparisons sIth Arizona We will simply state that Ee believe we shall be able to show that We stand upon firm ground.

TIE detective service of the govern ment outside of the postofice depart ment is not, nor never has been con- plete success. It seems to be almost

Some If the detectives nave the best intentions and try to do their duty, but the very nature of the work makes them arbitrary and vindic- tive, and before they are aware of it they areworkinC mp eases, instead of investi- gatlng them.

 It IS impossible for Judge French {, leave his judicial district during the U, ,xt four months, as hIs courts must be held therein by law, viz: First at Mohaye, where the grand and trial jgries have already been summoned, c ilendar ordered set and witnesses sHbpoeuaed; May special term in Pr B. c5tt; June regular term m Prescott, the capital: much federal and other busl- ness; July regular term in Apache ctuuty. In all these places the itils are full of prisoners awaiting and de nianding trial, and the civil business Is believed tO be more urgent than at I 1ncsoD. There are no suspensions of courts in Judge French's district, which embraces qaite or nearly two-thirds oi the Territory and is as large as the SIX New England States combined. The business of the district k SD great that Jgdge French has not been able to leave the Territory for single day .ince his assignment tO thls district and il justice, be absent.
 We, the members of the entire bar. in meeting assemble, at Prescott, do therefore most respectfully aud earn estly beg of you to excuse the attend auce of Judge French at the present term of the court at Tucson. Particulars by letter.

TIE SALARY QUESTION.

An Opinion From Attorney General Hahn
q Relative to County Officers Salaries.
Attorney General Hahn has given an
opinion to Examiner Knox in regard to
the commencement of the salary year
under the new amendment, in which he
says that sin every case where county
treasurer has been elected at the late gen.
eral election your superstition that the
salary year must conform to the new Of
fetal term and commence on the first
Monday in January, 1884, is in my opinion
correct. A new term begins on the first
Monday of January, and from such begin.
ming the computation of the salary is to
be made" 'But where the old treasurer
holds over another year, if she has already
received all the law allows up to the LIST of
March, 1884, do not think he is to be
paid second time, or that the amend
nent as to him works any change in the
salary or the time from which it is to be
computed.
"The auditor draws salary based it is
true on the valuation, but nevertheless a
salary, and can see no objection to fig
uring his salary from the first Monday of
January. OF course as to all newly elected
auditors, this would be the case, and as the
auditors who hold over have not drawn
any salary for January and February,
1854. 1 oen see no objection, even IS to
them, of applying the same rule.'1

THE BLIND GODDESS.

How Justice Was Melted Out to the Occu-
pants of the Bull-Pen at the Municipal
Court Yesterday.
If it hadn't been for the picnic of Cole
m an Nee the bull pen yesterday morning
would have been empty. Coleman had
been on a terrible spree Tuesday night
and he came very nearly cleaning out q
street car. He boarded q chariot near
Rice street and when the driver asked him
for his nickel he refused to disgorgs, say.
ing that he had paid already. A couple OF
male passengers said that he had not de-
posted anything in the contribution box
when the driver bounced him from the
car. He got on again and was again
elected with similar result. Meantime
he whooped it up, swearing vile oaths and
frightening the ladies. After while the
car got down to Jackson street when
the driver got of and went
to look for policeman. In his absence
Coleman jumped onto passenger and
was abeut to kick him when Officer Me-
Bride came and run him in. At the city
hall he tried to kick the cell down, but
yesterday he was as mild and meek look
ing as saint. He was fined 500 OF
twenty days and Conductor Shields of the
workhouse van, went down to where his
wife was employed at doing laundry work
but the latter refused to pay mis- fine, and
he went to the joint.
Few cases which come before the police
court magistrate present sadaer aspect
than that of j. R. Haney, who was ar
raigned on complaint of his
wife yesterday afternoon. The
defendant is poor and hard working
man, and his wife brighteyed little we
man with nervous manners and who con-
fessed that she had good temper of he1
own. Both parties related their side of
the story and it was agreed that 1t was 9
case of pure jealousy. She wanted d.
vorce, because as the defendant said he
was not rich enough for her and didn't
wear good enough clothes. Judge Burr
tried TO reconcile them and gave them the
sound advice Of father. Beth parties
are respectable and intelligent, and it was
the saadest case of conjugal infelicity
that has ever been Investigated by the
court. After an hours consultation, in
which the diplomacy of the kind-hearted
judge was shown to advantage, they
agreed like 'Betsy and I" to be out nc
longer, and they went away together unit
ed in heart and affection even as they were
bound to love each other by the holy
bonds of matrimony.
