The Cowboy As He Il.

So much amusing talk is being made re-
Gently ansnt the blood-bsdraggled cowboy
of the wild west that l rise as one man to
say a few things, not in dictatorial style
but regarding this o-callsd or so esteemed
dry land pirate who, mounted on q little
cow.pony and under the black flag, sails out
across the green surge Of the plains to scat
ter the rocky shores of Time with his fell
bowman.
A great many people wonder whore the
cowboy, with his abnormal thirst for blood,
originated. Where did this young Jesse
James, with his CORY record and his daunt-
less eye, come from4 Was he born in a
buffalo wa1low at the foot Of some rock
ribbed mountain, or did he first breathe the
thin air along the brink Of an alkaH pond,
where the horned toad and the csntipede
sang him to sleep, and the tarantula tickled
him under the chin with its hairy lsgs2
Careful research and cold, hard statistics
show that the cowboy, as a general thing,
was born in an Cnostsntatious manner on
the farm. hate to sit down on a beautiful
romance and squash the breath out Of a ro-
mantle dream; but the cowboy who gets too
much moist damnation in his system, and
rides on a gallop up and down Main street,
shooting out the lights of the beautiful bill
lard palaces, would be just as happy if a
mouse ran up his pantaloon-leg as you would

One night while had rooms in the bust
ness part of territorial city in the Rocky
Mountain cattle country, / was awakened
at about 1 o'clock A. N. by the most blood
curdling cry Of murder ever heard. It
was murder with big ON" Across the
street, in the bright light of a restaurant,
dozen cowboys with broad sombreros and
flashing silver braid, huge leather chaper-
alas, Mexican spurs and orange silk neck
ties, with flashing revolvers, were standing. 1t
seemed that big red-faced Capt Kidd OF
the band, with his skin full of valley tan,
had marched into an ice-cream resort with
a self-cocker in his hand, and ordered the
vanilla GOODNESS for the gang. There being
a dozen young folks at the place, mostly
male aud female, from a neighboring hop,
INDUCING in cream, the proprietor, a meek
Norwegian with thin white hair. deemed it
rude and oWtrS to do so. He said something
to that effect, whereat the other eleven men
of alcoholic courage let Off a yell that froze
the cream into a solid glacier, and shook
two kerosene lamps out of their sockets in
the chandeliers.
This annoyed the ice cream agriculturist
and he took the old axe-handle that he used
to jam the ice down around the freezer with,
and peeled a large area Of scalp of the
leaders, dome of thought, and it hung down
over his eyes, so that he could not see to
shoot with any degree of accuracy.

THE ICE CREAM AGR1CULTUHIST WITH The
AXE HANDLE.
After he had yelled ''murderr' three or
four times, he fell under an ice cream table,
and the mild-eyed Scandinavian broke a
silver-plated castor over the organ Of self.
esteem, and poured red pepper and salt and
vinegar and Halford sauce and other reliShes
on the place where the scalp was loose.
This revived the brave but rnurderous
cow-gentleman, and he begged that he might
be allowed to go away.
The gentle Y. N. c. A. superintendent of
the ten-sramp ice-cream freezers then took
the revolvers away from the bold buccaneer
and kicked him out through a showcase.
All cowboys are not sanguinary; but out
of twenty you will generally find one who is
brave when he has his revolvers with him /;
but when he forgot and left his shooters at
home on the piano, the most tropical violet
eyed dude can climb him with the butt end
Of sunfower, and beat his brains out and
spatter them all over that school district.

WHEN THE COWBOY FoRGETs HIS SHOOTERS.
In the wild unfettered west, beware of the
man who never carries arms, never gets
drunk and always minds his own business.
He don't go around shooting out the gas, or
intimidating a Kindergarten school; but
when brave froRtiersman, with a revolver
in each boot and bowie down the back Of
his neck, insults a modest young lady, and
needs to be thrown through a plate glass
window and then walked over by the popu-
lace, call in the silent man who dares to
wear a clean shirt and human clothes.

We have read the act recently pass ed by the Legislature of this Terri tory entitled "An act to provide for ehe trial ot offenses on information, '" which has for its object the abolish ment of the grand jury system. In our opinion it is crude, inartistically drawn, vague and uncertain, and its practical working, for good, matter of great doubt. It provides that hereafter the drawing of grand jury IS discretionary with the judge of the court who, at his option, can file an order with the clerk of his court, specifying the time at winch a grand jury shall appear, The information shall be filed by the district attorney of the respective counties as informa- ton and he subscribes his name there to. Section of the act provides, strange as it may seem. "that no in formation shall nbe filed against any person for any offense until such per son shall have had preliminary ex- animation, as provided by law, before justice of the peace, or other magis- trate or ohfcer." So # an ofense should be committed while the grand jury is in session, or even in the pres. ence of the court. the farce and eX- pense of a preliminary examination must be gone through with and no beneficial results follow. The act gives the district attorney almost ab- sal1te power as to fhng iniormations, SsSnd the defendant, if he should be ac- quilted, and it appear that the in- formation was malicious, can main tain an action against such district attorney for malicious prosecution, Grand juries of late years have fallen into diSfayor, and there are many co. gent arguments for their deSuetude, but II Is questionable whether the ev- fls in the system will be corrected by such bill as that which has become a law in Arizona.

Following Is digest of the Insol. vent Act, now in effect in Arizona:
 Every insolvment debtor may, upon compliance with the provisions of this Act, be discharged from his debts and liabilities to any amount exceeding $3oo, by surrendering all his effects for the benefit of his creditors.
 Upon filing his application, under oath, the Judge makes an order de, claripg the insolvency, and directing the Sheriff to take possession of all eff fects personal and real, exeept such as may be by law excepted from execu- tion, and retain the same until the appointment of asoignees. It pro vides for a meeting of creditors to prove their debts and the choosing of one or moreassignees.
 It provides for involIntarly insol- yency on the petition of three or more creditors, residents of the Territory; but it must appear that such insolvent is about to depart from the Territory with intent to dcfraud, or being ab- sent, remains away with such intent. Itprovldes against preferred creditors, all to share alike pro rata, In volun- tary insolvency, but one assignee is provided for:
 A partner in business can throw his concern into insolvency; When CO partners become insolvent, discharge is prohibited; in individual ,or CO partnership cases, it is otherwise. IL is very stringent against fraudulent preference and transfers.

There is one reform which MT. Cleveland will not be able to intro- duce. He cannot prevent the Senate from continuing to purchase pictures end busts from females alleged to be artists. The only attractive thing about these things are the good looks oi the makers thereof, and they are worthy of art only because of the art ful ways oi the ladies. A colored photograph of General Thomas is said to have been purchased of Miss Ransome for the sum of ten thousand dollars, whi.e fifteen thousand dollars was paid to a Miss Fassett for paint ing misrepresenting the Electoral Commission. These things cannot we'll be worse than many others which now make of the national capitol a fearful and wonderful gallery of art, but it is about time the collection be deemed complete. No one of the worlds great painters, were he to col or a photograph, would expect to re- ceive ten thousand dollars for it; as- surely he would never have the im- pudence to ask for any such sum.

If they received the mon- ey they placed it where it would do the most good-in their pockets. No open house was kept. [Yes, Judge Sias did the entertaining at his own expense, at his own rooms, and al. though the bill passed the lower house, he IS more entitled to the credit of defeating the measure than any mem Der of either house.l
 One of the assemblymen from Co. chise telegraphed to Tombstone for ST, ,ooo to pay for two votes in the lower house against county division, and in hls guileness simplicity, he mentioned in the telegram the names of the men he had bought. You may be right, Tom, but it strikes us that the "guileless" gentleman was wrathy because that money came to a member of the Council from Cochise, who, after arranging with Steph ems and one or two others, put a sum in the hands of a "steerer, who was an intimate friend of Fitzgerald, (the latter deadly enemy to Sierra Bonita also, ] and the poor assemblyman got Pete Kitchens dose in Sonora.

GOVERNOR AND C. s. MARSHAL.

The knowing ones," and no doubt there is considerable reliability about their statements, say that Gideon J. Tucker, formerly of Prescott, will be the next Governor of Arizona, but that Gov. Tritle will be retained Until the expiration of his term. Gid. Tucker lS an old resident of New York State, where he has filled the office of Secretary of State, and for many years was a prominent Democratic polite ian. He was publisher of the Enter prise newspaper at Prescott for long time, and still claims to be resident of Arizona.
 Hon w. K. Meade, of Tombstone, seems to take the lead among the can didates in the Territory for U. s. Marshal. The office could not fall into more capable hands.

Our popular Secretary of State Hon. H. Nj. Van Arman, is one of the few Republicans who is willing to relinquish his office without strug- gle or desire to hang on.

Van has made a very efficient officer, and will be re- membered by the people of the Ter ritory as an official who knew no north, south, east or west in the dis charge of his duties. He will make his home in San Francisco after being relieved from office, and will enter the employ of the Southern Pacific Rail- road in lucrative position.

stif ,v-.---4---.a e..l. ais new duties,
This course covers about eight months,
at the termina ion Of which he is again
examined, and if found properly quail
fled is announced as an assistant OBJ
server and ordered to some observation
station for duty. If he fail at this
final eXaminatiOn,h he is discharged from
the service. AS vacancies occur in the
list of observer sergeants, those assis-
tants who have shown themselves best
qualified for practical service, are pro-
moted to that grade and generally
placed in charge Of an observation
station. Two sergeant5 each year are
promoted to the grade of second lieu
tenant. Between the grade of
second lieutenant and brigadier
general there are no interme-
diate grades. The service it is
maintained by Glen. Hazen, is often
severely embarrassed by not having
a full complement of tried and ex-
perienced officers The present plan,
it is held, also works injustice to the
men wholly faithful work and diligent
study have gained the rank Of second
lieutenant and who are Gebarred from
further advancement.
Many stations are maintained at iso-
lated points, viz: Mount Washington,
Pixies Peak, Sitka, Alaska, and Point
Barrow, the most northern point of
North America. 1t is considered de-
sirable to obtain a series of unbroken
observations covering a long period of
years at these points. At some of
these places, the observers are often
