Fighting McCanerty.

The Hon. Capt. John McCafferty is pugnacious fellow, but he is not a fool, and his denial of the statement that he is the much sought after "Number One" of the Phenix Park murderers can safely be>accepted. The fact is, John is always looking after No. himself. As member of the Eleventh Legislature of this Territory he was energetic and honest; but he would kick against the newspapers, and take umbrage at the merest tri. fes. During the discussion about the understanding. said to have been ar rived at by N Cochise SAd Pima del- egations as tSs the boundary lines between the two counties Woods of the former and McCafEsrtyof the latter got into dispute whick xxs referred to by Robb of 'Finsl sl'ss & question of veracity between the two men Tn which the House had no particular in- terest." Mac jumped to his feet and wanted to know Eff the gentleman from Pinal doubted his word?" The answer he received was that "as be- tween Harry Woods and Mir. McCaf- ferty the member from Pinal would
 
 believe the former" Mac suggested that he would demand satisfaction, and Robb told him that his address was Globe" Nothing came of it, as the latter preferred treating it .iocularly and the former saw the point. The writer saw McCafferty in New York last summer, after his return from England, whither he had been on min ing business, He is head5trong, i'm. pulsive fellow; but it is inconccivablc that he could be guilty of stabbipg an unarmed man.

Tombstone Merchants.

We have a very poor opinion of the business men of Tombstone, and we base it upon the fact that they do not have enterprise enough to advertise their goods, or sense and gratitude enough to patronize their local paper. They do not sell yard of tape, bot tie of whisky, sack of flour or box of sardines that has not been made possible by the papers which have labored to build up the town, and which have told the world of the won derful riches that lay in and about it. We do not take any stock in the talk about Tombstone "petering out;' but the outside reader, the man who looks upon paper as an index to the con dition of a camp is not likely to form favorable opinion of it, if in twenty eight columns he can only find one quarter of one of them occupied by business advertisement. We challenge any place in the Territory to produce merchants who are better friends to their local papers than those of Globe; and we commend their example to the fossilized hucksters of Tombstone. It is their duty, and it ought to be their pleasure to help the agencies that help them-to strengthen the bridge that carries them over.

The V. G. Railroad.

"We rise to question ofprivilcge.' Who the deuce are the Board of Di- rectors of the Tucson Narrow-Gauge Railroad? Culver, the Citizen and the Star are all we know in the transaction, We read that the bill presented by Oury in Congress, to give the road permission to cross the San Carlos reservation has been ''re- ferred to the appropriate committee" :" As the committee cannot possibly report before the next session of Con- gress, it is just possible the N. G. road may be built when the Santa Cruz river rises high enough to show that there's water in it, the Mexican wash erwomen have to get an additional tub to catch the overflow, and the cat claw chapparal around the conner cial centre of the west-Tucson- turn to orange trees.

Crooks Letter to Teller.

Even Gen. Crook with the flavor of his past clinging to him cannot dis count the future. While his letter, telling of the peacefulness of the Apaches, was on it's way to Teller, these same Indians were destroying property within few miles of Globe. While it was making its way back to the Citizen for publication, Indians were proving around Cox and Cop lin's camp and stealing burros from
 Mir. Mitchell near here. We pub lished afidavits proving assertions made in this paper about Wilcox, and the meagre generalizations of Gen. Crook do not disprove one of them. Before the public this man may outrank the men whose names are appended to the affidavits referred to; in the eyes of God and the law they are equal. Gen. Crook is mis- informed and entirely mistaken. The same charges that are made against Wilcox, if they had Crook as an object, and backed by as good testimony, would secure his dismissal and disgrace.

The new school law, although it has a multitude of sections, does not seem to have superAuous one. It is clear, explicit and comprehensive, and is a credit to the man whose intelligence framed 1t. The duties of every official are clearly defined. The.most respon- sible position under the law is that of Examiner, and the man who is selected for that duty should be, possessed of enough learning himself to be able to sit in judgment upon the applicants for teachers certificates. As each county needs three of these, it is more than possible that incompetent men may. be often appointed. To have scholarly pupils we must have schol- arly teachers; and to secure the latter we must have examiners who can do something more than read the first page of a primer and repeat the first column in a multiplication table.

The memorial to Congress asking $l75,000 for the improvement of the Colorado river, which was recently passed by the Arizona legislature, is one of the best bits in the legislature mosiac of the last few weeks. The Colorado is the finest river between British Columbia and the Rio Grande, It runs through one of the finest min. ing countries in the world. Its banks offer splendid inducements to the ag- riculturist, and sight-seers can find in its upper waters, the grandest per formances of nature. It is already navigable for hundreds of miles to shallow boats, and the expenditure of the money asked for, under the super vision of a competent man, would be the best spent money of the whole river and harbor appropriation.

What Aurts Mining.

It has always been the policy of Arizona papers to blame all the ills that befall mining enterprises to the rescality of the manipulators at the eastern end ofthe line. While there is"more truth than poetry" in the statement, it is also an incontroverti. bls fact that good deal of blame lies at our own door. Some of it attaches to the editors of our papers; not be- cause they wilfully misstate things but through ignorance. There are very few writers that we know of, on the staffs of Arizona papers, whose opinions on a mine amount to a row of pins; and the most elaborate lies are published because the editor does not know their character. Not a sin. gle ono of all the journals in this Ter ritory can afford to pay man for the sole duty of examining mines; and as rule, the men who are interested in legitimate mining give them little or no encouragement.
 Outside of the ignorance of editors, another harm is done by lying tele- graphers. Only last week we called attention. to telegram published in the Chicago Inter-O Ocean, that was sent from Tucson. The man who sent it knew it was a lie because the telegram itself said so--"A vein mile long, 100 feet wide, averaging $275 ton, with half a million in sight" That was the statement. A vein a mile long and 100 feet wide, has, in one foot of depth 52,8OO cubic feet. Allow ing twenty feet to the ton, it has 26,40O tons. lift averages $275, the ore in sight is worth $7,260,0O0. This lying telegraphcr says "there's half a million in sight" The utter impossi- bility of the existence of such vein is apparent to any one, and the man who telcgraphs such a statement should be driven from the country because he is it's enemy.

We suggest that the Associated Press employ an honester man than L.C. Hughes, pf Tucson, us its >Arizo- na superintendent, if it does not want to get into worse repute than it is. The agent in Globe sent him dis patch correcting lie which had passed through his (Hugheso hands, and he would not publish it, although his at- tention was drawn to the omission later " letter. In view of this fact and the outrageous Blue Jay telegram, in which, as an editorial on this page proves, a misstatement of nearly $7OO0,O0O was made, MT. Hughes should have the manliness to resign, or the Association dismiss him.

Getting a Criminal Practice.

A murderer in New York can, if he
chooses, take his pick from a consid-
erable number of fairly competent
lawyers, even though he hasn't dol
lar with which to pay. Il was five
years getting into a profitable crimi-
nal practice" one of the men in this
line Is quoted as saying, land sue

haunted police courts, and to every
prisoner committed for trial who had
no counsel, l rendered myself. In the
trial courts the judge may assign any
lawyer present to defend the prisoner
not provided with counsel. 1 made
it point TO be on hand for these as
signments. Or course many of the
cases were so small that they did not
get into the papers at al, and in some
that were reported my name would
not appear, but usually each hard
days work brought the desired re-
ward in the way of publicity. My
practice grew to immense proportions,
but it was year before l could get
enough money out OF it III a week to
pay my modest board bill on Satur-
day night AT the end of the second
year L had worked up to q barely liv-
ing income, but / had q debt left to
clear of, and it is only very lately
that L have become established firmly
enough to refuse all but cash cases.
Indeed, 1 do not yet let good mur-
der fall into rival hands on account OF
the perpetrators impecuuiosity. Let
me advise you to commit a sensa-
tional crime, If any, because then you
can obtain lawyers free-more emi.

AT The Northern Pacific land Office
the statement Is made that as the
winter increases in severity there is
slight falling off in the number of
emigrants and settlers seeking homes
in the northwest, but the number OF
letters of inquiry show a marked in
crease. These letters indicate that
large numbers of people are making
preparations to come to this country
next spring, and portend n large
influx of population. Most OF these
inquiries now come from states and
countries where the winters are most
severe and are of longest duration.
A curious fact in connection with
the receipt of letters at the land
bureau requesting information about
the country is that large numbers are
always received from regions affected
with cyclones, violent showers and
blizZards. These letters invariably
make their appearance in great guam
titles from a district just recovering
from one of these disastrous visit
ations. The number of enigrauts
passing through st. Paul during
November for points west OF Spokane
Falls average fifty-five per cent.
This was fully up to the average of
the previous month, but slightly In
excess of the average for the month
