 Or all the weak. sickening, fco,- ish excuses given for Cleveland s immortality is the tale published by the Cincinnati Inquirer of some soft brained fool who supposes the peo- pie are as weak and guilible ss he is scoundrelly. The tale runs as follows:
 "The facts seem to be that many years age, when the Governor was sowing his wlld oats,'' he met this woman, with whom his name has been connected, and became iptI> mate wilh her. She wGs a widow, sud not a good woman by any means. Mir. Cleveland, learning thls, began making inquiries about her, and discovered that two of his friends were intimate with her at the same time with himself. When child was born, Cleveland, in order to shield his two friends. who were both married men, assumC d the responsibility of it. He ok care of the child and mother like a man, and did everything in his power for them, and he provided for them until the woman became a confirmed victim to alcoh lisrn and made it impossible by her conduct for him to have anything to do with herD

IT is to be hoped that Hon. Nor gan R. Wise will be the Democratic nominee for Congress if there should be any chance for the can didate of that party to be elected That gentleman is abroad ln the land stumping il for the nomins ion with "wise" and vigorous foresight He IS wonderfully prolific talker and as for "thinking" the gentleman seems made upthoughts that"growd'' up within him, evidently. He pro- poses. if elected, to accomplish the following within six months:
 Build an ssO,OO0 mint at Yuma.
 Build a O,o0O post office for Phoenix.
 Build a s5o.Ooo cus:om house at Tucson.
 Make Arizona a state of 15o,oOo inhabitants.
 Remove the Indians to the Indian Territory.
 Survey all the public lands in Arizona.
 Return the money 10 the Territori> al Prison Comm issioners which the United States has stolen frcm them by keeping prisoners in the Territo> rial Penitentiary.
 Build the Panama Canal and put it under the controll of the United.
 Secure school lands for the new state.
 The honorable gentleman then went on to say that-he had gone to California lE her earliest days, when she was Territory "and see what she is now"
 He greatly tickled the pride of his hearers when he declared Phoe- nician climate the rival of the soft and balmy air of Italy, and our skies the skies of the Ionian Isles. His praise of our frulis and oth CT luxuries was unslinted and the Phoenicians who heard him went home and dreamed that they were Indian princes, swinging in ham mocks, threaded with gold, under luxurious pomegranate and orange trees with thousand lovely NaiAd queens playing on their low mellow watcIy flutes to Hull them to a per- fumed and gentle slumber.

THE Reavis organ over the way
 showed its cloven hoof again yes
 terday, although pretending to crawl
 back onto the side of the people on
 land swindle question. In order to
 excite prejudice as much as possi-
 be against anything that may be done against the thieving land grab-
 bers the organ is now endeavoring to ring ID politics, charging that the
 brief which Judge Pinney allowed 10 be filed in the case of Churchill vs. Rcavis-on the motion to dismiss the Case for want of jrrsisdlction, is a "political document"
 The organ Innocently remarks |: .'Where and when this speech was made or how much of it was ever heard or seer outside of this publi- cation (referring to the brief,) lis what worries us. We imagine that vixen the organ geis sober it will be ashamed of its ignorance, and doubt excusable for imag- inIng the brief campaign docu~ ment. The Hon. Clark Churchill has made a splendid fight against the land thieves; he has sent to the people here copies of his brief that they may read it and judge pf the correctness cf his position on this motion to "dismiss," that the people themselves may know something of the grounds upon which Judge Pinney;s action will be taken, whether he dismIsses the case ac, cording to motion or, hears it, which with tie array of precedents. facts and arguments before him that arc presented in the plaintiffs brief, we cannot see how he will avoId doing. We look upon the case as the most important that has ever been presented in q Maricopa coun- ty court. The fact is that if suc- cessful the suit will show the inside of the fallacIous claims of Reavis and will knock out the under pin- ming of the whole thieving scheme.

TIE Hon. Morgan R. Wise, g prominent candidate for nominatlon as delegate to Congress by the coming Democratic convention, arrived in town yesterday and will euthuse tue Democratic soul of Phoenix this evening by a regular old lime spread eagle ripper on the plaxa. He will doubtless send our local candidates, Hon. A. c. Baker, and Col Head, to grass and take the nomination ny storm. The honora- ble gentleman WAS formerly a amem- her of the legislature of Pennsylva- mia and was for ono term member ut Congress from the Twentyefirst district of that State.

people less exacting upon outside
 localities. While they had things
 theIr own way in CalifoInla It was
 obviously to their interest to drive
 all trade to that state and 10 San
 Francisco, and that they were exact-
 ing respecting the transportation
 of pr, ducts from outside places to
 markets that would interfere with
 California trade, and consequently discrsminated heavily against such
 outside places was natural.
 As matters now stand, the entire policy or the company must be changed, and should they continue in possession of the line of load across the southern part of the Ter ritory they will doubtless be much more llberally disposed hei eafter. We doubt much, however, whether they will continue business in this region of country. If we are able to discern the tendency of their op- erations they are to get all this southern system which has ever been terrible expense uron them, otf their hands, and to push their lines into Oregon and Washington territory, a country where railroad business is more largely produced to the square mile,-evcn though [ here is competitor already. in the field, there is sufficient business in that section of country to keep both busy. Furthermore. the Union Pa- ciic must shortly change hands and the Central Pacific sees there an op- portunity to reach the Missouri River and have some chance with he A. T. & S. F. and Northern Pacific.

IRE land grabbers .orran" s,

THE land grabbers organ" seems fearfully troubled because the argu- mentin Attorney General Churchill's brief was never made here be fore the court. No one ever pre> ends that it was, in the form of the brief now published, though DOT ti0ns of the same grounds were covered by plaintiff in his argument upon the case ut the time. Very naturally, without time to look up authorities, they were not then quoted as In the published brief and for that very reason leave was ask ed TO file briefs. More than that the stupid position of the "orean" is made more apparent from it's as- sumption that Attorney General Churchill wants something from the people of the Territory, while he circulates his brief here about
 Phoenix. The fact is the organ and its land-grabbing packers are very much afraid that the gentleman under consideration will be candi- date for Congress and they well know his ability and tcnaci ty of purpose when he once sets about a task They can rest their souls in peace on that score, however, but may be assured that the land thieves and their friends will have trials and trihulaiions enough, even to pay their board bills, let alone steal ing half tie Territory by bribery and corruption. As the organ wriggles it only shows iis true apImus the more. Too cowardly to come Out for the cause which at heart it is espousing and covertly working for. it would have the people believe that it is for them and their interests, and to be candid it is "for thenI''-and their pCckets :.

 A NEW YORK car oriver, in let ter published in one of the daily papers, speaks of Gov. Cleveland's ve,e of the bill reducing the hours of labor for street car conductors aEd drivers as follows: "When
 Gcv. ClcvelaEd is sleeping in the morning I am at work. When he is attending 10 his duties during the day am Ct work When he goes 10 q place of amusement in the evening I am at work. When he rstires to rest at night I am still working.

 THE Mohave Miner asks and very reasonably too, that the sub-conven tiou for the nomination Of Council man-at- Large fer that district shall be held somewhere in the northern part of the Territory. There will doubtless net be more than four or five delegates from the whole north- zern part of the Territory owing 10 the great distance, expense and in- convenience of travel. and it seems to us that both noithcrn and central districts should hc allowed to hold seperate sub-conveniionsi they so desire.

DRIVEN to the extremities of life, dying by the bangs of terrible hum ger, wasted to skeletons and with the horrible fate of slow lingering death staring them in the face day alter day and month after month with the one thought, the one in stinct of nature to preserve life as long as possible, the despair and terrible recourse to which the sur vivors of the Greedy expedition were driven can never be imagined by any man who can get enough to eat in moderate climate. Let any one in comfortable and favorable circumstances starve himself for two or thr days and he will the n only touch upon the merest shadow of the suffering of the Arctic ex- plorers.
