There's always river to cross,
Always an effort to make,
If there's anything good to win,
Any rich prize to take;
4onder's the fruit we crave,
Yonder the charming scene;
But deep and wide, with troubled tide,
Is the river that lies between.
x
For, rougber the way that we take,
The stouter the heart and the nerve
The stones in our path we break,
Nor e'er from cur impulse swerve;
For the glory we hope to win
Our labors we count no loss;
IS folly to pause and murmur because
OF the river we have to cross.

THE MORMON CRANK.

Jno. B. Miner, who ranks among
the brass-ccl!ared fraternity of the
Mormon church, is again in Saint
Johns, and at the present writing is
a guest of one of the indicted po-
lygamous saints. This individual
was formerly Methodist minister,
but of late years, since joining the
Mormons, he has been a kind of
jack-of-all-trades, and we unhesita-
tingly say, master of none; appear
ing at different times as a lawyer ;
minister; physician, and conspicu-
ously as an ecclesiastical crank.
This man Miner was sent to Ar
iona by President Taylor, of the
Mormon church, to defend the Lat
ter Day Saints who were under in
dictment for polygamy, and subse-
quently found guilty and sent to
the House of Correction at Detroit.
After the conviction of the 'saints"
Miner started for Prescott with a
sack well filled with Mormon mon
ey, the fittings of their blood and
sweat, with the avowed purpose of
preventing any legislation adverse
to the nefarious practices of the
"Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints" in this he was unsuc-
cessful, as is seen by the bill, al
most unanimously passed, disfran-
chising them,
Bafled on all sides, this jack-of-
all-trades has come to St. Johns,
and taken charge of the editorial
department of the Orion Era, re-
Gently made vacant by the skip
ping out" of Miles P. Romney, its
editor who stands charged with
perjury and polygamy, and has the
front door of the penitentiary star
ing him in the face.
Move on Brother Miner, Apache
county has no use for people of
YOUR stamp.

With regard to the pomp and cir

With regard to the pomp and cir
cumstance, the outward signs of
the inward JOY felt by the two hun
dred thousand visitors at the. Ma
tional Capitol, he says: "The pro-
cession was grand beyond cxpecta-
ton; it was four hours in passing
and the grand column contained
ten men abreast the military and
civic organizations were we'll repre-
sented Tammany, Irving Hall and
the County Democracy Of the En-
pire City made a good appearance,
and not to the disparagement Of
Tammany, the County Democracy
was the finest body of men I ever
saw" Mr. Bunch expresses great
hope, in the new administration, for
the country at large, among other
things he says: Eve are at the be-
ginning of a democratic admins
tration, and good viii to all man
kind is the first feeling that per-
vades the Capitol, and We may ex-
pect reunion Of the hearts, and
sympathy of every section of the
Union"
Mr.. Bunch left Washington on or
about the 9Th. and will journey to
the home of his father, at Berryville
Arkansas, then after a few days with
the family he viii return to Saint
Johns, the home Of his many friends.

HOLBROOK.

The "Holbrook Press" has inaug.
urated the most determined oppo
sition and contention that can pos
sibly be imagined, nothing ever
seen in the political imbroglio with
the Burgess contestants ever ap
preached it in angry Juror.
Citizens, FIELD. HARVEY, luck
CHAFFEE, VAN HoRE, HIGGINS, VIII
soE, and in fact nearly every one
worth mentioning arc in arms o.
antagonism.
Since the issue of the last paper
No. 2, of the Press, which was very
damaging to the town their ire
knows no bounds.
Holbrook, once the most flour
ishing town on the lire of the At
lantic & Pacific Railroad, has re
ceived in this publication of the
"Holbrook Press" it's first stunning
blow. The first issue of the paper
indicated the policy the publishers
had adopted outlined IFS opposi.
ton to the people and to the pros
nerity of the town. For the cause
less arraignment of her best, her
most worthy citizens there can be
no excuse given: for the painstak,
ing efforts to destroy the hopes Of
the people in the best railroad town
between the Rio Grande and Rio
Colorado of the West, the publish.
ers DESERVE and SHOULD RECEIVE
the CONDEMNATION of every
good citizen on the line of the road
from the city of Albuquerque, in
New Mexico, to its western termi-
nus, Mohavc, in the State of Cali
fornia.
We know the people of Holbrook
and we have the highest regard for
them all, for their enterprise, their
energy, their goodwill; we know OF
their charities, Of their hospitality
and generosity, hence when we see
them DETAINED we feel it our duty
to enter our protest, not only against
the dispdragcment Of the people OF
Holbrook, but of all the good peo-
of Apache county and the territory
Of Arizona. In our article of last
week We had hoped for better re-
suits; we are disappointed, howev-
err, and are exceedingly sorry we
are compelled to acknowledge it.

FAIR PLAY.

Fit were not for shocking the
sensitive soul Of much exercised
weekly contemporary, we should
be tempted to copy from the Mo
have County Miner" the following /:
Several of the papers Of the territory
are advocating the passage OF an act to
difranchise the Mormon, as has been
done in Idaho. We believe in the sup
preston Of crime, but also in the Uni
versal application OF the rules of law. II
the proposition was to disfranchise eve
ry criminal, we would favor it. Polyga-
nous Mormonism is q crime and stands
in the same category with other crimes.
and we are no more in favor OF disfran-
chising Mormon and polygamist, than
we are of d:sfranchisin5 one convicted
of embezzlcment, larceny or any other
public offense. Give the Mormon fair
play.
Desperate diseases need desper-
ate remedies, Bro. Eb. For the
past thirty-fve years have the Nor
mons not had "fair play?" Both
in Utah and other places that are
infested with these law-bfcakers,
they have endeavored to conceal
their smerciless crimes under the
cloak of their so-called religion
they have, for over quarter of a
century, defied the laws Of the Uni
ted States; they have, through
their false preachings, deluded thou
sands of young and virtuous wo-
men from the paths of rectitude, and
caused them to lead life degrad-
ing to the lowest Of the animal
kingdom; they have murdered
thousands and impoverished nail
lions who were unfortunately invei-
gled into their fold solely through
the misrepresentation of these Lat
ter Day Saints. And then the cry
comes up, "Give the Mormon fair
play p If such men as Taylor,
Cannon, Young, and their polyga-
nous followers were to receive their
just deserts, there would be no
room in the prison-cells of our pen
itentiaries for the murderer OR en-
bezzler. We arc lead to believe
that the Miner is unacquainted
with the ways and teachings of
these tenacious vagabonds, or it
would not come to their rescue in
its spread-eagle garb.
