DcnorCsts Monthly for October
There is no mistaking the growing
prejudice of the public against the
great monopolies. 1t was long ago
said that corporations had neither bod
les to be kicked nor souls to be cursed.
A board of twelve men, each of whom
is individually just and kind, when
acting in concert are often uuscrup-
ulous and cruel. These organizations
have been used to exploit the public,
hence the anger at monopolies. The
London Pail Mall Gazette says that
this feelingis as rife in Great Britain rs
in the United States, Everywhere legis-
lation is demanded to resist the en-
croachmonts and limit tho profits of
the soulless corporations. These last
have now IN almost unrestricted power
to tax tho community. Each new in
vention is seized upon TO help plumber
the public. A telephone, for instance,
is only speaking tube, 1t was dis.
covered sixty years ago by II German
named Isaac Refs. But Melville Bell
and certain of his associates have util-
lied the invention of Refs to levy a
heavy tax upon the American people.
Tho telephone companies represent n
capital with the market value of $780,
100000, which pays u per cent, and
represents nearly three times the orig
inal capital. This is tax upon the
business community for using speak
ing tube. So with the electric lights
and other inventions useful to man,
which are utilized by corporations to
enrich the few at the expense of the
many. The relations of the commu-
nifty to the corporations is destined to
be the subject of widespread debate,
and its settlement, II possible, would
solve one of the most serious practical
problems of the age.

Ex-Senator Star route) Dorsey is reported as a confirmed drinker, and in consequence his mind is greatly impaired. He has forcibly taken pos. session of the large cattle ranch in New Mexico, of which he is part own- CT, and is holding it by force of arms. Dorsey holds only third of the capi. tai stock of the company. At last dates parties were in Santa Fe with a view of applying to Chief-Justice Ak tell for a restraining order upon Dor
 sey from continuing his possession of the headquarters and ranches of the cattle company. The attorney of Jno. w. Boseer, of Pennsylvania, who holds S125,000 of the stock of the com pany, is representing the case on be- halfo of the stockholders, opposing Dor. sey. The ranch is sixty miles long by forty in width, and contains many thousand cattle. If Dorsey IS wronged as ho claims to be, he has certainly given the case heroic treatment.

A Plain Statement Of Facts.

The widow of Smurden, in her ex- cessive grief, in order to assauge the poignaucy of the pam occasioned by the loss of her model husband, has sued Colonel J. c. Tiffany for S25,000 damages, alleging in tho complaint that the Colonel administered liquors and drugs until the veritable George became stupefed by such intoxicants and then placed him in carriage and took him to Hcrmosillo, where he was stricken with the plague and died. We sympathize with the widow for the irreparable loss of a husband that could, and always did, since we knew him, drlnk any given quantity of whisky, and while the gorge rises in our throat for Georges untimely end, question presents itself, and, like Banquo's ghost, will not down at our bidding, as to whether or not the measure of damages will fully compensate the widow for the loss of such a husband.
 The stenographers notes of the pro- ceedings of the court, Tn the case of the U. S. vs. Tiffany, show that Tiffa- ny offered $l00 for the production of Smurden in court, and that he was seen in Tucson on the morning of the day set for trial. Tiffany was in court for eleven months, and constantly pressed for trial; was always ready, but notwithstanding Smurden was present, the prosecution fought for de- lay. And when Smurden faded fl on sight the U. s. District Attorney filed an affidavit for continuance and ob- tained it, although proof was offered, but resisted by the prosecution, that Smurdcn, at the time laid in the in- dictment, was not, and had not been, upon the reservation for ten months previous, and, consequently, knew nothing of the offence charged. There were originally thirteen indictments against Tiffany, not one of which was allowed to go to trial. They were all nolle prosequied by the U. S. District Attorney. These cases had no foun- dation, as all were covered by settle ment of accounts with the Indian De- partment. Had Smurden been placed upon the stand he would have been successfully impeached.

The raiders who killed four men and women and robbed a store of $3,OOO at Bisbee on the night of the 9th instant. have not yet been appre- hended. It is strongly suspected that they are the same party who robbed the train and killed engineer Webster, at Gage Station, on the Southern Pa cifc road. A party of three were sur prised, in ths.hfush, a few miles from
 Galeyyille in the direction of Cherry Creek, and fired upon by the pursu- CTS. It, however, is not known that any of them were wounded as all
 escaped, Two others of the party had left the camp before being approached. One of the robbers is known as York, alias Kelly, and another as Red" a third carried a pair of pistols, one having an ivory and the other q pearl handle. At last accounts they were still being pursued and most likely will be caught.
