Weekly Phoenix herald., 1884-10-23

up from the Rip Van Wrinkle snoozt
| of its party and its dabs at the HER.
| AID are away Off from the mark
OF course we heard Head talk
about railroad lands and all that
but happened to know that as a
NJ inisn of the Southern Pacific he
opposed the Atlantic & Pacific, and
once a S. P. man always an 5. P.
man till the company kicks him out.
Yes, and we support DR.. Aims
worth who voted against the freight
aud fare bill of the wild ass of the
Huachucas simply because he did
not believe that we should pass d
rsilroad bill to cinch railroad COM
panies before we had such railroad
lines as The Territory needed badly,
and still needs, and 10y which act
the Territory would drive out and
keep off such capital as might be
cspslderirgnhe matter Of making
investment in railroads within it
Two years ago we advocated
the very doctrine upen which
Dr. Afngsyoriii voted against, tbs
fFeights and fares bill, and We sup
p srt him now because We believe he
did right Then We are not in favor
Of cutting ct oaF= ca aitorial nose TO
spi8e Dur fare, even 3fsthe nose has
boil on it.
Then again, the Courier, speaking
Of the Texas Pacific land grant says,
and the whole crem oaDemeerAJie
isulrlf5A sfeskeTs sd DeFaocr..tie#
aendid@tss say vit4 it etie Demo-
qestie pPn On Of Congress passed. Il
ri putting These Ends back iH tie
public domain. but ycur portion q
Congress, your monopol5-'ic Senate,
took good care TO keep the measure
fiom beng enacted into las"
That misrepresenting assertion has
been most ably and conclusively an
swered by the Hon Ed. w. Wells.
of Prescott, in recent speech; an
swered in way that should shut off
Democratic croaking on that subs
ject for all time % come. We quote:
"The House Cf Representatives al
its last session fooled away nearly
the entire session trying to do some-
hing with the tariff. 1t worked up
a tariff bill mountain high, but il
collapsed like aballoon bringing dis
trust upon your party leaders and
ruin to the then favorable prospects
Of the Democratic parry. This held
the land grant resumption bills back
until the latter part Of May and
June before they reached the Senate
when there they were promptly re-
'erred to the appropriate committee
for consideration. Two were speedI-
y reported back from the commits
tees, the Atlantic IL Pacific IeiHg
one and the Sioux City & St. Paul |
being the other The former pass
ID the Senate with amendments and |
was sent back to the House where il !
no further action.
1t is not law because the House |
allied to act on the Senate amends |
llents, which we're in the nature of |
to benifide settlers on the |
lands. The Texas & Pacific |
bill, known and commonly called |
the back ehone land grant was kill /
d by test vote in the House hy |
which it was laid on the table under |
he leadership Of Mr.. Ellis, Demo-
rat, from Louisiana
The. Hon. Ed. Wells has simply
stated the facts In the case a. we
ave quoted them and if facts will
lot suff1c to convince the Courier it
nust be truly Democratic in its
ablis of thinking.
As to "wlnking at polygamy," We
ave TO sayato the. Courier that the
party so far has had no
cry Black to 10 the masticatiue /
5tiIay tie partv could swallow thati
line wholesale. IS has been the Gaze /
! the party to which the Courier
'; s IS az 90 ahee; neither nus ltie
