DISTRICT ATTORNEY RIDDLES decision
that the District Commissioners have not,
and never lave had, the authority to per-
NIT the erection Of tolegraph.pole in q
public highway or alley without specific
permission Of Congress is of great import
ance. Tho Commissioners have assumed
this right, because their predecessors as
sumed il and nobody raised any obiocti on.
As soon as the question was raised the
point had to be conceded.
The Commissioners are strongly opposed
to the overhead wires and will not be dis
appointed at the discovery that renders tho
erection of moro poles almost impossible.
The effect that this decision will have
upon the poles now standing and erected
without proper authority is question
in which the citizens will take lively in
terest. The sentiment has been growing
stronger and stronger that tho poles must

THIS District has the distinction of try
ing the first two cases in which it was at
tempted to enforce the criminal section of
the Civil-Rights law.
In the first case Judge Mills of the Po.
lice Court, held restaurateur guilty and
imposed tho $500 fine. An appeal was
noted and the case was thrown out by the
upper court on technicality and not on
its merits.
The other case came up in tho Polics
Court. A colored member of the bar
brought the charge against steamboat
clerk for refusing to sell him flrst-class
supper ticket, and the case was dismissed.
The general opinion of an unparalleled
| people is that the Civil-Rights law as it
stands on the statute books is failure. 1t
is absurd in many respects and entirely in
consistent. The Supreme Court Of the
United States has decided it to be inopera-
tive in the States. 1t, therefore, holds
good only in the Territories aud the Dis
trict Of Columbia.
No reasonable person will deny that
there should be o law to protect the negro
In his rights and to protect him from being
inconvenience and damaged by unjust
discrimination against him on account Of
his color The law should not be framed ai
at present, however.
Several of the most fashionable barber.
shops in this city are kept by cOlored men
who do lucrative business with the
whites and who are clamorous for the
enforcement of the Civil Rights law. They
refuse to shave their own countrymen, be-
cause, they say, if they did their whit
trade would leave them to man.
The penalty for refusing to sell u col
ored man dinner, when he could secure
one next door or across tho street, in city
like Washington, should not be 100 time
as great as if the proprietor had struck hiu
in the face before ho had time to ask foi
his dinner. This is the case with this law

CLIMATIC COMPARISONS.

New York dispatches of the 10Th
inst, bring the almost incredible ac-
count of the prostration and death Of
many persons from heat, when the
thermometer registered only 76 degs.
at 6 o'clock a. m, 73 at 8 a. m. and s.
at noon. The coroner had, at II M,
reported 25 deaths resulting from ex-
cessive heat.
Such an announcement puzzles the
understanding of Arizonans, who for
weeks experience degree of heat ex-
ceeding that in New York by 25 degs,
without suffering inconvenience from
it. Sunstroke is almost unknown in
Arizona. The pure and rarefied con-
dition of the atmosphere and agreea-
ble night temperature is indeed invig-
Grating.
Gila county, in central Arizona, is
regarded by well informed persons as
a sanitarium for "all the ills that flesh
is heir to," possessing as it does such a
great range of temperature within a
radius of a few miles. When the heat
in the valley in which Globe is situa-
ted becomes oppressive, which is sell
dom, one can by an hours ride reach
the mountains, where a delightful
summer temperature prevails, where
a variety of flowers and grasses grow
luxuriantly, where limpid streams of
cold water gurgle in their pebbly
channels and the pure ozone, laden
with the odors of the pine, cedar and
fir infuse new life into the languid
invalid. In winter the sheltered val
leys bathed in continual sunshine are
equally attractive and beneficial for
those suffering from disease. The
maximum and minimum tempera-
lures in Globe for the month of Janu-
ary, 1884, were respectively SO and q,
and for July, 40 and II. Notwith-
standing the excessive temperature of
100 and 10 which prevailed for sew
eral days, no one suffered or were. de-
tered from the performance of their
accustomed duties. When the salu-
brity of the climate of Arizona be-
comes generally known throughout
the Eastern States. our Territory
will rival the far famed Italy and
Southern France as a resort for in
yalids.

GRAHAM COUNTY.

The district court of Graham coun-
ty has been doing "a land Office bust
ness" The grand jury considered
fifty cases and found twenty-nine in
dictments; ignoring twenty-one. The
indictments are for murder, 2; rape,
/; larceny, 9; assault with intent to
kill, 8; maintaining an opium den, l;
malfeasance in Office, z; house break
ing, l; bribery, 4; extortion, 1. OF
the number indicted for malfeasance
are George H. Stevens, Sheriff; Dis
trict Attorney A. M. Patterson; Super
visors S. W. Pomeroy, A. M. Franklin
and I. N. Stevens. The indictments
against the county officers will proba-
bly, be disposed of in May, or as soon
as court is held in that county.
A Clifton special to the Tucson Cit
izen says, "The grand jury in their
report discloses shocking condition
of affairs in this county. Peculation
and bribery are shown to have had
full sway in county affairs. The re-
ports brought in to-day by parties ar
riving from the county seat have
caused amazement and sorrow"
Arizona silver belt., 1884-09-20

Both the great political parties are
on the anxious seat as regards the
election in Ohio next month, and all
reports so far are to the effect that the
state is debatable ground and the out
come very doubtful. There are more
elements of uncertainty there than in
almost any other state. The German
vote and Prohibition vote are distur-
bing forces which can not well be
measured. Last year the German vote
was almost solidly Democratic and
gave that ticket plurality of nearly
$4,000. The Republicans claim that
a large number of the Germans are
tired of their alliance with the Demo-.
Gratis and will return to the Republi-
can ranks, but the Democrats deny
this and certainly there is no indica-
ton yet to justify this assertion of the
Republicans. Last year the Prohibi-
ton vote was 5000. What it will be
this year it is hard to tell. At any
rate, we'll informed men of both par
ties are of the opinion that the result
in Ohio next month will indicate pref
ty conclusively the flow of the tide in
respect to the Presidential election.
