 .s,srvei very shabby treatment from ,.,,-a county, and were our people .s,er5ns, they might hold a grudge ,.- tbsir neighbors who sought to

If the -.-is-s of Maricopa county wanted to -.f seats Tn the legislature, why did ..r not attack Ysvapai, a county that -torious for fixing up fraudulent and securing fraudulent represent ,---. which 1t was never entitled to? r-r d,i they attack Pima, which has -.. brsn their friend, and which is ..ss- vrIec than over represented in .-srsrs,sture? Do you not know that p-~,i, a growing county, and that its --,.,e,.s for the future are second to ss,bsr county in the Territory, and -..s5e IS even now in population and -z,b. far iu advance of anything that v.-.,5pa coguty can ever hope to reach? r.-s arc things We conld say that v-.inyt bs relished by these Phoenlx ,-z.pape-s. in connection with their -,sat agricultural county" but we have n desire to enter upon asectIonal fight, g aroal5 do us DO good aud might rsgly Injure Maricopa county, which F. have been informed is already ID .,ss6,sBei circumstances and needs the props she can get to keep upon .s;.s5t

 On, Phenix neigbbors talk as though voPpossd the Insane Asylum scheme oeel1ss t locates the buildings ct I-eniz. That IS a great mistake. We 1al just as soon have such an Institu- tn at Pnenix as at any other point in 'a5 Territory when it IS needed and Fl9a tue people go to work at it ID an sNnomlcal and reasonable way and not as though we possessed the wealth of '1a holcLilds and were anxious to scat 'e' t t0 the four winds of heaven. IT -' approprigtion of S25,O00 had been -ile Tor an Insane Asylum at Phenl1, Se would have approved the act. Then S7 would have sanctioned a further sp- p'opnatlOn of Gn alike amount two Years hence. That is to the extent our people would have gone and no further. d contract, We believe, already exists Efa Dr. Clark of Stockton, Californla, " lake care of our insane for the "sEi two years, and if that is so it cer- amy would be the hlght of folly for le people Of Arizona to pay interest on SI",pD Of Territorial bonds when there ' 10 possibility of derlvIng any benefit nun them until the expration of the N.ark contract. In conclusion we would suggest b our neighbors over on Salt '''e' 60 exercise a little cool judgment, a-i act within the bounds of reason for ~e good of the entire Territory, and t0' try to empty the proceeds of all 2fizona into their little valley. We are ''Aay to meet you half way, but we are .9, ready to deposit all of our surplus '-'llilg7 With you just yet.
