Few papers in the country are so ex-

While our sales and cash receipts this
year, so far, have been considerably more
than last year-and that was several thou
sand dollars ahead of the year preceding
our business for the months of October and
November has far exceeded our expecta-
tions and has largely over-reached that of
any two months during the twenty years
we have been i'll business here.
There must be some good cause for this
and we are forced to conclude that the peo-
pie appreciate fair and honorable methods
of trading-giving always dollars worth
of good for dollar.
The different departments of our store
are packed, almost to overflowing, with
desirable goods, bought as we know how
to buy-for CASH DowN-and which arc
offered to the people of this vicinity at u
trifling advance above first cost.
If you have any needs come and see us.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Register,
takes occasion this week to say what it
thinks it knows ''about newspapers and
the newspaper business, and in elueida-
ton of its views cody appropriates as
its own, without credit, about quar-
ter of column of matter which ap-
peared in the Printers CireHlar for De
ccmber published by r. 5. Menamin,
517 Minor Street, Philadelphia, and was
by the Ctrcular credited to an exchange.
One thing the Register seems not to know
about the newspaper business, is that to
take matter from other papers and pass it
off as original isn't considered the thing
among newspaper folks. Better blow your
own horn, brethren of the Register The
borrowed article gives You away.

Nothing in Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe
is more remarkable, not even her literary
genius, than her child-like humbeness of
heart. The little notes in which she asked
us to tea or to breakfast-written with her
own hand-generally with some slight
sketch appended, a spoon, a fork, a flower
to suggest tea or breakfast or a picnic in
the garden-were instinctively so worded
that the recipient forgot they had been pen
ned by one whose words We're eagerly read
in twenty languages, and felt that he would
confer a favor by accepting the invitation.

A minister took occasion to say recent
" that the temperance cause had been
set back twenty years by the indiscretion
of those who voted for st. John. Just
how long and how far such men and
such talk has set back the cause Of re-
ligon, our friend failed to make mention.

Eighteen hundred and eighty-four with
its freight of joys and sorrows is num-
bered with the past. The record is made
up, the books are closed, and of the thirty
one Million six hundred and twenty-five
thousand and four hundred seconds, more
or less, of time which went to make up the
year, not so much as one single second can
be recalled and lived over again. And yet
what an influence one second of time has
on the life of an individual. 1t takes less
than that sometimes to form resolution or
take step that affects all the future. And
if some particular moment might be re-
called and new start taken from that,
how different would be the route travelled.
But this is impossible. The past, whether
it has been wisely spent or foolishly wasted
is fixed. We can use it now only as we
profit by its experience and avoid its errors.
Vain regrets avail nothing. Look ahead
and make the best of what is to come,
Yesterday is gone; to-day is ours; to-
morrow is an unknown quantity. Do the
best you know, in the light of past cx-
perience. as each moment comes up for
action, and we think we can safely promise
you that in 1885 you will find Il HAPPY
New YEAR" in as full measure as is allotted
to the average of mankind.
Many persons fall into an error in their
definition of the word ''Independent as
applied to newspaper. From their point
of view the word is Synonymous with
Neutral" word of vastly different
namby-pamby nentral newspaper, that dares
not have an opinion of its own on any
subject for fear of offending somebody and
thereby losing subscriber or an advertiser,
is gone by. A newspaper must have an
individuality. 1t must Niak something
and say what it thinks, to commend it
self to an intelligent class of readers in
these stirring times. 1t may be published
in the interest of certain class or party
and devoted to the PRONUNCIATION of that
party's views and doctrines, and looking
to that class for support. In that case it
becomes an ''Organ,n and, in proportion
as its utterances are marked by truth
fulness and good sense, SO far are they en-
titled to respect. But the independent
newspaper is one which, as its name suf-
ficiently indicates, is not DEPENDENT that
caters to no especial class in return for its
patronage; supports no particular candi-
date in hope of few crumbs from the
official table as reward; says what it
thinks right to say about any and all
parties, candidates, public men or mea-
sures, without waiting to inquire whether
Jack or Jill will stop the paper or with
draw an advertisement in consequence,
and leaving it to the popular verdict
whether or not it says the truth. This is
the kind of Independent newspaper which
the times demand and for which there i,
room.

If the money spent for liquor was spent
for the necessaries and comforts of life.
there would be no over-production, the
mines and mills would be in full blast and
there would be work, wages and plenty for

and there will be no need of stopping the

Some writer's treat the question of Pro-
hibtion as though it was simply gratuity
or favor to be given by the legislature to
those who are in favor with the majority;
hence it is said, ''the cattle who voted for
St. John" need expect no favors. In speak
ing for the men who voted the St. John
ticket we may say, they are not asking
political favors from either the Republicans
or Democrats; they are asking for Pro-
hlbtion as a blessing in which all men
may share equally. If Prohibition is
good thing, let it come quickly; if it is an
evil thing, let it be voted down. The liquor
problem is before us; no political party
can successfully dodge it; the issue must
be squarely met, and the whole question
must be dealt with on its own merits.-

citizens of this vicinity was held Saturday
night. at which resolutions were passed
condemning Crooks Indian policy, and
asking the Governor to call an extra SEES
sion OF the Legislature, to thoroughly or
ganize the militia; eXtolling the action of

Tucson, June 15th.-A letter was re-
ceived here to-day from John Young, a well
known San Simon cattle man, stating that
himself and party had a band of Apaches
herded for twenty-four hours for Captain
Hatfield but he (Hatiield) would not at
tack them. Young places the loss in prop
erty alone destroyed during the present
raid at 100000. The feeling throughout
that section of country, he says, is bitter
against Crook.
The Board of Supervisors met this after

liberation, they decided that as no depre-
dati0nS had been committed in Pima

THE MURDER OF MINERS Now CHARGED TO

TOMBSTONE, June 15th.-Not n word is
yet received from the citizens and troops in
the Mule mountains. Parties from Sonora
deny that any large trail of Indians is any,
where to be found near Leoncito as hereto
fore reported. They also say that the kill
ing of McKintin, Palmer and Huntington
was not the work of Indians and from ap-
pearances must have been white mems
crime, as no property was disturbed save
coin and guns. The deed was remarka-
bly, cold blooded one, and the death of one
of the victims highly sensational. II APP
