IF vRcancIes are created ID territori- al offices within the gift of the governor, they must be by voluntary resignation, the appointing power being incapable of removal, without cause. Offensive craftsmanship doctrine cannot be applied to theIr cases. Every vacancy in said offices must therefore he self created, or the result of an expired com mission. This may not bs palatable to a hungry democracy, but they must bide their time and take offices as re- publican holders thereof are self-sacri- fcing enough to lay down. Prison Commissioners, Insanse Asylum Com mIssioners, Territorial Treasurer, Ter ritorial Auiltor, Attorney GeSersl and Adiutant General can resign their ofii- cisl burdens at theIr own sweet will.

SPECULAToRs in Mexican cat le are ID consternstion over a recent ruling of the Secretary of the Treasury which de- clare cows, mares, etc, to be dutiable animals unless imported by persons regularly engaged in stock raising. Hitherto these animals have been sd- mitted free whether brought in by spec ulstors or bona fiie breeders. Now, however, for the former purpose, they can no longer be introduced without the payment of regular duty. The only way for sPecuiators to avoid the law is to drive cattle to the line and sell them before crossing to those entitled to the immunity.

WORD comes from New Mexico that the renegsdes have again crosses the border on their errsnds of piliage and death. On Saturday last they mur- dered and mutilated John Yeager and wife, surprised, killed a scout, and wounded a soldier. The day following they cut the throat of Jacob HallIngs, 40 miles from the scene of their nrst outrage, and before this has been chron- icled will have added other victims to the long roll of their atrocities. When no longer safe they will retire to the Sierra Madres to rest, recUperate and enjoy the fruits of their murderous raid, preparatory to again shit ing the land that has nursed. fed and caressed them for years.

IT has been decided to remove the shops of the Sonora railroad from lever infested GuaymEs to health restoring Nogales. To do this the consent of the Mexican government was sought and obtained. Orders have already been issued to residents on the railroad res ervation south O, the line to move houses and baggage elsewhere by the l2th instant. This evidently means business and boom for Nogsles. The headquarters and offices of the company wIll, however, probably remain in Quay mas unless the consent of the Mexican government can be had for their re- moval to Nogales also, which should certainly be done.

THE W. C. I'll

The WOman's Christian Temperance Union, of which there is quite an exten- siye branch in this city. like the rest of their eo-la5orers are nothing if they are not politicians. They give life to said organizations ip an outburst of en- thasiasm in favor of temperance, and to this cause alone they svow devotion. Presently few old ladies join hands Tn the good cause" the little sea of tenn perance becomes too contracted for their labors and they must needs paddle their little canoes into the ocean of politics. The W. c. T. U. is no excep- ton to the rule, as may be seen by the following from the Philadelphia Press:
 The declaration of the woman's Christian Temperance Union In favor of taking theIr organization into politics and committing 1t to distinct political party was not carried without an earnest and animated discussion. Among others, Mrs. J. Ellen Foster made cOgent plea agaInst the principle end the policy of this unwise course, and the reports of sldtC tlhl Nullt GukdkCu Der speech she was intemperately missed by the delegates who disagreed with her views. This unfortunate occurrence illus. trates the folly of pervertIng the or gaoIzation to politics The noble women of the Temperance Union are doing a grand work, but they forgot themselves when they hissed one of the Rblest of their sisters for the frank and sincere expression of her convictions. Mrs. Foster ranks among the most eloquent and effective of the temperance work ers, and had by long and faithful service gained the right to be heard with re- spect. It IS 10 the credit of Miss Presi- dent Willard that she deprecated and discountenanced the manifestation, and the earnest and devoted ladies of the union must in their cooler moments doubt whether 1t is wise for them 10 engage ic politics and divert their organization from its true work to po- liticsl purposes when they find differ ebce of judgment on a political ques- tion leading them to such lengths.

an earnest look in his eyes, During the
hearing of the case he showed little of his
usual restlessness, but an occasional twitch-

acknowledged that her abducturs had
