oisEraceful State of Affairs In Anacbe
 County.

MT. George A. Newton returned on Saturday last from St. Johns, Apache county, where he had been subpoen- cd to apper as witness Tn the case of the Territory ys. John and Thomas Graham were arrested at Plearant Valley on or about June Ist charged with cattle stealing and taken to St.. John. After a preliminary examina- tion, they were held to answer, under Sa,ooo bonds. On the day the case was set for trial, June asd, all the witnesses appeared for the prosecu. ton, but the defendants could not be found. They left St. Johns on June Isth for the purpose, they claimed, of getting witnesses at Pleasant Val. ley, but evidently with the intnetlon Of jumping their bonds. When told that the defendants were missing, the Judge ordered a bench warrant for their arrest, to which the dis trict attorney paid no attention. The The witnesses in the case were held until the a6 ult. and then discharged. When they were about to return home the district attorney, Gusterson, ofer-

ed to give one of the number, o. C.
 felton, a warrant for the arrest of the
 Grahams, bat with the understanding
 that should he meet the defendants
 returning in the district of St. Johns,
 they were not to arrest them, but in
 case the Grahams were found at Pleas ant Valley, showing no disposition
 10 return, then to secure and bring
 them back. Further instructions were
 given to the effect that if the Grahams
 had been in the valley and had gone
 not to follow them. MT. Felton very
 properly refused to receive the war
 rant on these conditions. The Ora,
 hams were also under S4,ooo bonds
 m Yavapal county charged with per jury. MT. Newton tells some aston
 lShlng stories of corruption amo ng the
 officials of Apache. To illustrate how
 matters are run there, our informant cIt"d the case of Mexican who wa,
 tried on the 25th ut. for cattle steal
 ing. The evidence against the prs.
 oner was overwhelming. The case
 was given to the jury at 5 o'clock p.
 m, and although there was no ques.
 liOn as to the guilt of the prisoner,
 nevertheless three of the jury held out aIl night and until 7 o'clock the
 next morning, when they came into court with sealed verdict. While the jury were playing cards, smoking and sleeping, the prisoner had man. aged to gam his liberty and allowed no grass to grow under his feet until he was "iar from the wadding crowd" on his way to Sonora. When the court assembled in the morning the defendant could not be found, but hls attorney assured the court that he would presently appear, and then be- gan an harrAnge which lasted forty minutes, with a view, presumably, of giving his client an opportunity to
 uake good his escape.
 Although the revenues of Apache county would, under an honest ad- ministration of affairs, be ample to h. quidate the running expenses of the county, yet the warrants have depre- ciated until they are now worth sixty cents on the dollar. It has recently come to light that wholesale forgery, Tn connection with county warrants, has been going on for some time by raising" them--changing the figures On some of these altered warrants the hand writing of the clerk of the Board of Supervisors has beed detect. ed and that worthy has, Tn conse- luerce been indicted. When his | books were demanded for examina- lion they could not be found and il IS claimed that to avold unpleasant revelations they were burned. Sol. Earth, a prominent citizen of the county and an ex member of the leg stature, is under indictment on similar charge. Sheriff Hubbell is llso in disgrace; he was suspended by he supervisors and a man named Porter appointed in his stead, but tie ieposed sheriff refused to submit to he authority of the supervisors, so when MT. Newton left St. Johns, Apache courty had two sherinrs. The Mexican population of Apache largely 'utnumbers the white and much bad blood exists between the two races. The county is evidently rightly named, n view of the continual turmoil which prevails, and the thievery and other rimes perpetrated in that delectable 'ortion of the "sun-kiSsed land ."- ,ilver Belt.

Secretary Whitney has reprimanded
Commodore John H. Russell for parti
san coercion at the Mare Island Navy
Yard. Among other things he said:
"Since assuming the duties of this
Office my attention has been called to
the conduct of the foremen of the Mare
Island navy yards in elections in past
years, particularly in 1882. After
reading the testimony in the contested
election case of Buck vs.. Dudley, ia
ken IN the fail of 1888, there is no
doubt in my mind that the vote of the
yard was practically coerced and con-
trolled by the foremen, either with OF
without orders. The men were Oblig-
ed to take their ballots in a folded form
from a table presided i've by one or
more of the foremen, hold the ballot
in sight while walking to the polls one
hundred feet distant between mel
stationed for the purpose of prevent
ing any change of ballots on their part
and the ballot deposited without the
voter having had the opportunity to
sec or know its contents or to exercise
any choice. | find that the same fore
men who conducted the proceeding
are still at the yard in the various de-
partments." The secretary says the
men who have practiced this little
game must go, and that it must not
occur again in the interest of any polit-
ical party. MI. Whitney seems to be
hitting straight from the shoulder;
and hitting hard.

GEORGIA'S CREDIT.

We reprint the article below from
the editorial page of the Missouri Re
publican:
"When the republican carpet-baS regime
was overthrown in Georgia one of the first
things the people did, after getting control of
their state was to disavow Il large part of
the state debt-sS,O 00~, 0O0-which had been
imposed on them by the carpet-bag govern
ment. 1t was not a reputation of a lawful
obligation; it was a disavowsl of an unlawful
one on the ground that it was contracted
without the approval of the people; that it
was fraudulent, and that the proceeds OF the
loan, instead of going to assist in the con
struction of certain railroads, went chiefly
into the pockets of the states financial agent
in New York and the dishonest state officials
at home. The republican press of the north
denounced the disavowal as an act of bad
faith and of great injustice to the holders of
the bonds, and they warned the people Of
Georgia that they need never attempt to bor-
row money again; their credit was destroy
ed. and no capitalist would heneeforth loan
them o dollar on any condition. Last week
the state of Georgia had occasion to subject
its credit to a test, and the result was a signal
Justification of the republican predictions. 1t
offered for sale" So 500 900 bonds, running
thirty years and bearing 5 per cent. The bids
amounted to nesrlyS1s ,O0O, OOO, more than i've
times the sun wanted, and the prices offered
were all above par. One New York party
bid 1O14, another bid 104. and a third offered
to take the whole loan at par at n per cent.
Citizens of Georgia were among the bidders,
and their offerings were as high as 1913 for
parts of the loan. 1t seems, then, that 1t Is
not essential to the good credit of a state that
it should pay all the fraudulent obligations
contracted in its name. 1t is enough that il
meet faithfully all honest debts"
This statement is pertinent to La
fayette c~ounty's bonded troubles.
While the people here have objected to
paying unjust, fraudulent and illegal
bonds, they have so faithfully stood by
their legitimate self-assumed bonds that
they to-day command a premium of
% per cent. in the market. All that
| Lafayette county asks is fair-dealing
| all round, and she is willing to do even
more than can be asked in fairness and
| equity. So long as this it evident her
| credit will not suffer.

The reason that 'all men praise Mr..
Cleveland is,that he is introducing hon.
est business methods into all the de-
partments. His reforms are radical
and mean something, and they are
more non-partisan than have been The
efforts of any president since Geo.
Washington. 1t is this that makes re-
publican editors Historically cry out,
"Cleveland should remember the in
junction, Beware when all men praise
thee" Why, beware! Does it hurt
Mr.. Cleveland that all men speak well
of his administration ? Not at all.
The trouble is, that Mr.. Cleveland IN
making friends for himself is making
friends for his party. There is where
the shoe pinches our republican breth-
rem; and the beauty of it is. that Mr..
Cleveland makes friends, every day, by
his sound common-sense, without ever
condescending to demagogism, section.
alism or any other mean or reprehen-
sible ism to catch the popular ear Oh
to tickle a popular prejudice. The
truth is, that this unknown man,
Cleveland, who had never been in
Washington before, is a great, big man
a self-reliant, straight forward, honest,
plain American man, without pretense
or nonsense.

1t will be remembered that on behalf of
those interested the editor of this paper went
to Jefferson City, the latter part of last

commissioners why the fare on the Missouri

four to three cents per mile. Out of that
visit grew the following

The editor spent last Wednesday at
Fulton, and made particular inquiries
as to pleuro-pneumonia, from the lead
ing citizens, and from DR.. Trumbowcr,
the very intelligent and efficient vetcr-
marian sent there by the agricultural
department at Washington. That the
disease prevalent in Galloway county,
spread from the asylum herd, into
which it was imported from an Illinois
herd, is genuine pleuro-pneumonia
there is now no doubt. The disease is
in a mild, not acute form, but is still
highly contagious, and somewhat,
though not rapidly, fatal. The lungs be-
come encysted, harden, decompose, and
are gradually thrown of through the
breath. BY the breath the disease is
as communicable as is small pox or
scarlet fever by other a The con-
tamination is very subtle and acute,
lasting in stables as long as they exist,
in pastures for many months, and even
in the clothing of those who attend the
cattle. The only means to stamp 1t
out is to kill, not only the sick, but
all animals which have been i'll contact
with it. Many cattle have already
been killed, and now that the govern
ment has money appropriated therefor,
it is hoped that the work in that
direction may be thorough. Only cattle
have the disease. No evil effect is found
from eating the flesh of the diseased
| cattle, DIR. Trumbower says that in
Europe the flesh is sold acknowledged
ly as that of pleuro-pneumonia beef.
In dissection there is only the ordinary
danger of septic poisoning, none pecu-
liar to the malady. The danger in
Galloway is not from the acute charac-
| ter of the disease as it has developed
there, but from the large number of
herds in which it has been found,
caused by ignorance as to the disease
and the long time which elapsed from
its introduction to Its recognition. DR..
Trumbower thinks it can be stamped
out if money is furnished in time. The
disease threatens millions of dollars
worth of property, and we hope soon
to learn that it is under full control.
In the natural course the disease is
rather worse i'll warm than in cold
weather.
