The following from the pen OF
Arthur McEwen in the POSTS par
ticularly good:
Scarcely had the Grant family
driven away from the grave" says
a dispatch, when persons began
writing their names upon the tomb. .
A guard of soldiers was Immediately
formed to protect Grants resting
place from these vandals, and it is
with regret that we read in vain
to learn that the guards whacked
them over the shoulder with their
scabbards. The handwriting non
entity is one of the worlds nuisan-
ces. Wherever anything great in
nature or human achievement is to
be seen, and offence of his scrawl is
committed. It's he who mounts
the pyramids and leaves his card
there under an ale bottle; and like
a fly he crawls into the domes of
famous buildings and speckles
them with the deposit of his title
He is full brother to the wretch
who chips away monuments, that
souvenirs may be carried off ,and
whose rat-like cravings at the mile
posts by which art marks the worlds
progress impart to the intelligent
tourist that irritation which pro-
vokes profane language and robs
travel of pleasure: We saw how
men placed coins on the track as
the Grant funeral train drew out of
Albany, that they might keep the
fattened bits of metal as mementoes
that they might even in this re-
mote way, connect their own insig-
nifcance with an event Of historical
Importance. The craving of obscure
enfor distinction manifests itself
in many curious ways, but in none
more annoying than this passion
for scribbling there names npon not
able structures. The Washington
monument is already black at its
base with such inscriptions as high
as the tallest Yahoo can reach.
The law should interfere to restrain
the stupid hand of petty vanity
from this sort of defacing work.

ANOTHER BAD ACCIDENT.
John FarnhaM has his Leg taken
Off by ThrcshiHS Machine

At one o'clock yesterday after
noon John Farnham fell into Mil
ler's threshing machine at Robin
sons ranch, land had his left leg cut
off 1t appears that he was knocked
into the machine by being hit with
the derrick fork. When the fork was
swung back, the man who let it go
did not call out and give him warn
ing. The machine was in motion
and the teeth of the cylinder going
with frightful rapidity. When
struck he fell into the cylinder feet
first; his left leg was caught in the
teeth and drawn in. His cry Of pain
as he went down attracted atten-
ton and the belt was thrown off at
once. He was so damned in, how
ever, that he could not at once be
taken out and the machinery had
to be unscrewed and taken apart.
This required half or three quar-
tcrs of an hour, during which time
the man suffered the most terrible
agony. He was removed to the
hospital when his left leg was found
to have been mashed off below the
knee. Drs. White and Guion at
tended the case and amputated the
leg above the knee. At last ac-
counts he was resting easily.

The Ford Case.

Under the extraordinary findings

We have said that the finding Of
the jury was an extraordinary one,
and we feel no fear OF contradiction
when we add that it has no parable,
in the annals Of Louisiana's juris-
prudence, for stupidity, incoIsisten-
cy, or, to say the least Of it, tae NAL
administration Of equal and exact
justice. The theory OF the rosccu-
ton involved Thos. j. Forda and all
his associates, as conspirats&e in the
commission Of the crime Of murder,
and the evidence went todeInonstrate
the fact that Judge Thos, ]. Ford
was in fact and reality, the leader,
.rch-conspirator and designer, OF the
diaholical plot that accomplished the
assassination of his victim. And yet
this extraordinary jury found the
sGrcE conspirator guilty of 70 anslaugh-
ter-another alsurdity under the ev-
idcucc and our existing laws-whilc
two Of his ignorant. misguided and
suhscrviont tools were found guilty
Of death.

The following interesting story of
o meeting at sea is related in q tele-
gram from Galveston; ''On the az
rival of a brig Friday morning in
the cater roadstead, she was board
ed by Detective II. B. Lyon, of a
Baltimore agency, and John Hamil-
ton, the colored steward, was made
a prisoner on charge Of conspira-
cy to cast away the brig o. i. Still
man. The Stillman was reported as
abandoned at sea on Sept. rs, 1884,
and when the masters and crew were
picked up they told terrible story
of disaster. Seven months after the
brig was found afoat and taken into
Bermuda, where it was found that
her masts had been cut away and her
bow plates stove in. Tale telling
augur holes were, however found in
her bottom. Meantime the insurance
on hull, cargo and freight, aggrogat
ing $4,000, had been paid by the
Baltimore agencies, and thore-upon
evidence was collected resulting in
the recent arrest of Alfred Brother
son, the master; George " Brown,
first mate, and F. l., Clayton, manag-
ing owner, Brown, in confession, i'm

day, has managed to escape arrest

One of the most exciting criminal
prosecutions ever conducted in this
country, was that of the State OF Kan
sas against Mrs. Minnie Wallace
Walkup, charged with the murder of
her husband, by poisoning, at EN-
poria in that State. The trial occupi-
ed fourteen days up to its close on
Wednesday last, and was marked
throughout by interesting incidents
peculiar to ike occasions. Able at
torneys represented both the State
and the defendent aud exerted their
utmost ability and zeal in the inter
ests of their respective Causes. Up
to this writing, the verdict has not
reached us, but it is safe to say it
will either be one of acquital, on the
jury will disagree.

The Victory.

The smoke of battle, lifting from
eleven holly contested fields, reveals
the enemy totally routed along the
whole line, while the banner Of dem
ocracy is planted in triumph in the
citadels of Now York, Virginia. Miss
issippi and Maryland, the republi-
cans losing many valuable points in
all other quarters.
A more brilliant day and one
fraught with more important and
satisfactory results, than last Tues
day, never dawned upon the national
democracy. Tho lessons learned by
the bloody-shirt shriekers have been
pronounced and severe, as they have
been appropriate and salutary TO
the whole country. The sectional
issues, revived by John Sherman,
have been sat down heavily upon by
New York and other Northern States
while old Virginia has put an effect
ual quietus upon Malone and rang
cd herself conspicuously in line with
her Southern sisters.
The following is summary of the
reliable returns received up TO the
moment Of going To press:
New York 5to n thousand major
i:y on the State ticket ana material
gains in the legislature. Virginia 23
to 30 thousand majority for Gen.
Loo and So majority in the leg;slat~
uro. Maryland thirty thousand ma
jority "a State ticket. with 95 major
lty in tho Legislature. Mississippi
solidly democratic. Beside those re-
suits, tho democracy have made sig
nlhcant gainsin Iowa, Massachusetts,
Kansas end Iiliuoise.
Thus has the roforn admiaistra-
ton OF President Cleveland been
most omphaticalIy endorsed by the
people ut lurga.

WAsHiSGTos, ID. G, October 81, -

IT. view OF the seclusion needed for this
work came the Presidents edict on Wed-

Office seeker and his influence from the
first of November for an indefinite time.
Colonel Lamont thinks The rule may be
relaxed . little when Congress meets so
as to admit Senators and Representatives,

indeed no one whose nvocation does not
bring the matter directly to his notice
can realize the enormous demands that
have been made upon the Presidents time
since his inauGeI alton, by petty place
hunters. Those who appreciate the do
ties Of his Office, and who know how Mr..
Cleyeland's performance ofthem has been
impeded by these exacting importunates
viii commend the now rule. In order 20
prepare himself tor the Questions Of the
winter, the line had to be drawn at last
not in spirit Of exclusiveness, as the
nn:hinkiug may claim, but in defense of
the public interests.
The growth of the country and the
modern systems of rapid transit may yet
make necessary some limitation to the
free ION with which the Executive is APP
preached. This being republic Of course
the President belongs to everybody. lie

Candidates for the district offices and

The Clifton clarion., 1885-07-15

an Indian committing murder can
 be punished by the same law that
 hangs a white criminal; if those Indians retained at San Carlos and other reservations are dis armed, as they should be-sup- ported as they are by government in idleness-and compelled to work for their living, as the less favored white race is constrained to do, a new era of prosperity would dawn upon Arizona. In such case thousands of choice ranches and settlements could be inhabited-now impossible be- cause so unsafe-and Arizona could take the high place she rightly deserves among these Western Territories. Such a pe- riod must surely come, for the onward march of progress cannot long be stayed by such an imbecile policy as has heretofore prevailed with regard to the management of the Indians in this Territory.
The Clifton clarion., 1885-07-15

Saturday evening last there was a merry gathering at the Tip Top in North Clifton, exceeding in numbers any former gathering at that quiet and popular place of resort The spacious rooms were filled to repletion, and when we looked in at 2 o'clock a. m. of the 18th we wondered where all the people came from. It is said to have been one of the most agree able entertainments ever given in Clifton, for nothing was done or said to disturb the harmony of the occasion. The Mexican ele- ment of our population predomi- mated, but all others were cor dially greeted and hospitably en- tertained. We understand that there will be repetition on next Saturday evening at the same place.
