BLAINE THE PLAGfARIgT.

The New York Sun intimates that
Brother Blaine is guilty of "unconscieus
absorption" Says the .Snn:
One of the noblest and most patriotic
sentiments in Brother Blaine's letter of
acceptance is conveyed in this language:
'The name of American, which be-
longs to us in our national capacity,
mast always exalt the just pride of pa-
triotism."
When the same idea occurred to
George Washington, he expressed it, in
his farewell address, in nearly the same
words:
''The name of American, (Which be-
longs to you in your national capacity,
must always exalt the just pride of pa
triotism more than any appelIation
derived from local discrimina:ions.
The recorded utterance of Washing
ton, however, including the vast num-
Der of his private letters that has come
down to us,may be searched and search
ed in vain, we belive, for any passage
in the slightest degree resembling the
earnest pledge of allegiancewith which
Blaine concluded bis letter to Warren
Fisher, Jr., applying for an interest in
the Little r ,ck and Fort Smith specu-
ation: ST do not feel that shall prove |
. dead head in the enterprise il I once
,mDark IN it. see ysrious channels
q which know I can be useful" |

WE understand some of the Demo
cratic candidates for Office of District
Attorney, Recorder, etc, who recently
visited the Blue Jay camp, where they
had coDgregated for the purpose Of
studying ornithology, were not very
successful in their scientific investiga-
tons. They were so unfortunate as to
lose their entire supply Of chemicals In
which they purposed picking the birds,
and large number OF cigars and ciga-
rettes with which they intended to
smoke the birds after stufiing, to pre-
vent decomposition. They also lost
some valuable blankets, which 1t is pre-
sumt2 they left for the poor birds to
build nests of. Owing TO the unexpected
loss OF supplies, as above enumerated
their scientific researches were brought
TO an abrupt end, and the entire board
OF professors had to return to Tucson
for a new supply OF chemicals, etc
when they will change their programme
and attend "Finnegan's wake at the
Blue Jay camp before they proceed tC

cries t. ornithology. In justice 10 The

The Prescott Courier complains about
the debt OF Arizona, which i. says Is IN
the neIghborbood Of 100000. But the
Courier fails to tell US that this debt was
incurred by Democratic Legislatures
which have had control OF Arizona ever
since its organization as Territory.
The debt is large, and it is about time
the Republicans took the matter IN hand
and put stop to such extravaganza, and
begin to pay off the debt. Republicans
favor a reduction OF the debt IN the Ter
ritory as they do in the nation. We can
never nope for any improvement In the
finances OF our Territory so long as the
Democrats continue to pile up debts
upon it.

Ok the first page of to-da!'s CITIZEN
will be fourd the Stars account OF Bob
PauPs expedition against the Riverside
stage robbers. The Star at that time,
October 6, 1882, was trying to state facts
and give fair expression Of the feel
ings Of the people. What a change has
come over the spirit Of its dreams. The
capture of Hensley and Elmer, the last
OF the Riverside stage robbers, was
hailed throughout Arizona as the most
successful that had ever been made
within the borders of the Territory, and
every man in Pima county felt justly
proud of Paul and the brave men who
accompanied him AMI assisted in cap
turing the robbers. Even the StaI
could not withhold its need Of
praise to "brave Bob Paul and posse, al
il said at the time, "who did their wori
well, and will receive just appreciation
from the people"

SHAW AND BIS PAPER.

LIZ seems to us that man who poses
hs the candidate OF a class is hardly the
man to elect sheriff OF Pima county. 1t
Is rather poor policy for Mr.. Shaw to
start campaign paper to advocate his
cause-every issue If winch abuses and
mallgns the mining interests OF Pima
county. There has not been a single
issue of his paper 1.-THE Sunshine and
Silver, late the Quijotoa Prospector.)
issued during the past three months,
that has not lied about and slandered the
mining camps of Pima county right and
left. That paper, which is now the
mouthpiece OF shaw, has done more
damage to the miners and mines OF
Pima county during It's short career,
than it could repair in an entire decade
OF honest effort. Does Mr. Shaw expect
to secure the votes Of the prospectors
and miners who delve in the mines Of
Pima county, by such a course? Many
of the prospectors OF this county,
have mines that they value, mines in
which they have expended years OF to-
and IL which their hope for the future
is conferred. These men have rights
that should be respected. They have
done as much, and perhaps more, TO
bring capital into Arizona than all other
classes put together. Indeed. they have
been the life and soul Of Arizona, and
without them Tucson could not have
existed during the pas. SIX years that
we have lived in Arizona, nor would
there have been any home market for
the beeves produced by our cattle men.
We hardly think that Mr.. Shaw will get
the votes OF many men who make their
living by mining and prospecting. They
do not feel very kindly towards paper
that, without knowing anything about
the facts, falsely states that a mine Is no
account, and that the men who are oper-
ating it are frauds and shysters. Mr.
Shaw msy undertake to do these
things with his campaign paper, but the
miners OF Pima county will not appre-
ciate his efforts in that direction.

Four years ago Charley Shibell ran
against Paul for Sheriff. He had al
ready held the Office for two full terms,
and that was his third term" The
Star supported Mr.. Shibell and did
everything in ITS power to elect him.
The Board OF Canvassers, on the face Oi
the returns, gave Mr.. Shibell a certificate
OF election. Paul contested the election
OF Sbibell and proved to the satisfac-
tion Of the Court that fraud had been
practiced, aud that large number Of
votes had been returned from districts
where no such votes had been cast, and
the Judge decided against the defend
ant and In favor Of Paul. Shibell held
the Office for about six months, on his
"thiTd term" This was approved Of by
the Star. That journal was not only
willing that Shibell should hold the
Office for the third term. out II was Will.
ing that be should hold il, when every
body knew that a large number
Of fraudulent votes had been manu-.
featured for the occasion at Tres
AlainOs ana San Simon, which votes
were accredited to Mr.. Shibell and were
against Paul. No reasonable man car
fail to see that the Star is not honest IL
its objection to Paul on these grounds
1t is only pretext, and a very flimsy
one at that.
1t supported Shibell FOR the third
term for Sheriff, it is now supporting
Judge Wood for the fourth term for Pro
bate Judge, ami if Paul was n Democrat
does any one doubt it would now b.
supporting him: The third term. n.
applied to little county and town Offices
amounts to nothing. There are scores
Of instances in every State in the Union
where county officers have held Office
not for three terms, but for seven OF
eight terms, and there are instance,
where men have held the office Of post
master OF a town for ID or 10 years il
succession. The objection raised by tn,
Star amounts to nothing. 1t would b,
much better for that journal if it could
explain satisfactorily to the people o.
this county why it supported Shibell foI
a third term, and opposes Paul because
he Is running for a third time.

c. z. HEAD Is a much smaller man
even in his own estimation, than when
he started uut on a canvass OF the Ter
ritory. People expected something
worthy OF their consideration from
that cold-blooded austere man" but
they have been greatly disappointed.
Head has not OILY failed to make
friends, but he has lost many who in
tended TO support him. On the other
hand Colonel Bean is universally popular
and makes friends wherever he goes.
