PRESCOTT, March 6, 1885,
 ED. HERALD:-Thus far, the peo- pie of Maricopa county have no rea> son to complain at the manner in which they nave been treated by the present Legislature. There is DO county in the Territory that has re- ceived more attention, or that has secured more Legislation of a bene- dciaI character. You have succeeded in obtaining for the Asylum the largest appropriation ever made from the Territorial Treasury, and your railroad bill is one of the few measures of a like Gkracter intro- duced in the present session that will bear good fr'llt. The appropri- ation for your Fair Association is Iikeiy to be made and last, but by no means least, is the very nartr. i-ss prospect for a, Normal School at Phoerix. So, taking all these things into consideration, It looks as if the pumpkin county" had been getting in its work in pretty good shape. Of course, there may be some peoe pie Tn the Salt river valley that will kick because their delegation did not get everything. That class are like Oliver Twist, always asking for more. Those greedy souls should be content for the present. Let them take the gifts the gods send them and be thankful there for. The rest will come in good time. Since my last, the

The amendment offered by Weedin to cut down the appropria- tion 10 S75,0 ,0OO was stoutly opposei by Todd, and after a somewhat lengthy debate the bill passed by a vote Of g to 8. The strongest oppo- sition came from Bailey, of Gila, who argued from long array of figures to show that the Territory would lose money by the investment But the noses were counted and, as a = ember of the third house re- marked the bill "weut through flying" For the able end careful manner in which MT. Todd looked after the measure, the thanks of ihe people Of the valley are due. Quiet and not given 10 much Eab, MT.

"Mack," writing from Pierre to the
Sioux City journal. makes the following
point:
The removal of the capital to some
point in southern Dakota, let that he
where it may, means tar more to the
territory than many suppose. For some
yeags, when the question Of division
has been broachejl, there has always re-
suited a wrangle oyer the name of the
two sections. Both sections wished to
retain the original uame. AZ present
north Dakota has the capital. all the
archives, records, libraries and machin-
cry OF government, in fact everything
that goes to create the history of this
section many years before Is township
in north Dakota was surveyed. The
stubborn fact starps the people of SOUTH
ern Dakota III the face that, with all
the records, capital, officers and every
thing else belonging to Dakota, the
north might claim the name with1livis-
ion. It,is hard to tell the schemes Of
politicians, and this may have been
thought of at tn e;time., At any rate it
is quietly schemed now. Southern Da.
kota is certainly heir to the name.
The departure Of Dakota's archives
to the north was the most grieycus. at
Fiction the southern section has been
called upon to experience. During
three quarters of the territorial exist
ence Of Dakota; there was nothing in
the north beyond a'few Struggling set
Elements. Southeastern Dakota has
created the official record of the terrific
ry and just at a time when it had be-
come valuable it was transported to the
far away northwest, out of reach of
three quarters of the people.-Press

as determined to remove from Office all
in:dmberis Hepublican Of congSe) who
rendered party service during the pas:
campaign. The query in my mind is
why this rule won't work both ways and
apply to both parties. II il is wrong for
a Republican office holder TO render party
service, should it no. be wrong for a
Democratic office holder ID do SO, aud
shoult; it not be as wrong 20 appoint a
Democrat to Office as a reward for party
service, as to appoint q Republican for
the same reason while these inen are de
nouncing ing Republican ofIice-hodors
for rendering party service and the ap-
pointnent Of Republicans to office on ac-
cunt Of service to the party, they are do
ing the same thing themselves.

tied to have revenue reform we'll repre-
scented in his cabinet asked, "What has
it done for the party?' not what has it
done for the country. can place my
finger upon Democrats holding Federal
Office who took far more active part in
the last campaign, and who have for
years past (while in office) taken open,
active, pull and haul parts in campaigns,
both general and local, to far greater
extent than any Republican cf1ice-holder.
