CLIFFORD IN BUTLER.

Clifford township in Butler county will
vote on twenty thousand proposition for
the Kansas, Colorado and Texas railroad.
Some of the good people up there have
been made to believe by some of the people
of other points that the Kansas, Colorado
and Texas is a Santa Fe scheme, because
the ''lease or otherwise pertaining to
johnson county is mentioned in the propo-
sition. The Santa Fe is not building that
road. The Santa Fe would have little if
any use for such road, much less use for
new terminal facilities in Wichita, which
the new road has arranged for. The EAGLE
would say to the people of Clifford, pay no
attention to anything said by rivals or by
anybody who would be adversely affected
by the building of road through Clifford.
SO far as we know the Kansas, Colorado
and Texas railroad is "a legitimate enter
prise, backed in way which will secure
its speedy construction as an independent
competing line Wichita wants the road
and so do the peple of Clifford, if they
will but look at the matter in the proper
light

A CROOKED MAN.

A special to the Globc-Demorcrat from
Newton says that Samuel A. Bevier, agent
and telegraph operator at Canton, a small
town on the Santa Fe railway, was arrested
and brought to town last night by Under
Sheriff StimmeIl Bcvier is charged by c.
Wood Davis with obtaining money under
false pretenses. Davis is the protector of

tons were recently called in Canton and
other townships in Mcpherson county
The local committee, appointed to look af-
ter the interests Of the railroad company in
the township of Canton, was composed of
Representative j. NJ. Simpson, NJ. T.
Fletcher and George s. Murphy, the latter
being secretary. Murphy some time
ago sent three dispatches to Davis at
Wichita, to one of which he signed
Simpsons name, to another Fletcher, to
the last his own. These dispatches were
all of the same general tenor, to the effect
that money was needed to carry the bonds
in Canton township. Davis met Murphy
in Newton few days later and gave him
large sum of money. Upon visiting Canton
next day, Davis learned from Simpson that
there was no danger of the bonds being de
feated, and he did not authorize the send
ing of the message The dispatches were
written in the presence of The operator by
Murphy, Bevier having been told by Simp-
son and Fletcher that the secretary was
authorized to use their names in all CORES
pondence pertaining TO the business of the
railroad company. Bevier transmitted the
kilograms and two days following accepted
$50 from Murphy, but on thinking the mat
ter over returned it soon afterward Be
vier is generally regarded as innocent, he
having for many years enjoyed the conf
dence Of the Santa Fee railroad company,
for whom he acted as relief agent in this
city several years ago. Murphy is in

The Louisville Times ventures the asser-
ton that even though Senator ingalls, may
be able to give Joe Blackburn a dressing

this is funny And who is this man
Eustis, that he should scare away the
crows? Why. less than year ago he was
bloviating around over the country as to
how he was going to eat the national ad-
ministration bloodraw as soon as congress
convened Yet ever since last Deem
Der this ferocious braggart has been
as gentle as a cresset lamb and as amiable
as a sucking dove He has eaten his
humble pie with a grace that wenld have

is afraid. 4 man hailing from the prairies
where cyclones are Matched isn't going TO
run away from wind that has come up from
a magnolia garden You can depend upon
ii that if ingalls, gets an opportunity he will
snap Jim Eustis in twain rs an alligator

CONCERNING THE CORN CROP.

We have interviewed at least fifty Butler
county farmers upon the corn outlook, dur
ing the day and the verdict is that we will
have enough corn TO get through until an
other crop. Some say they will have forty
or fifty bushels to the acre, while Others
claim five, ten or fifteen The truth is the
rain helps the corn. helps the grass and re-
wives everything We have not had such a
dry spell since 1874 and do not want to see
another of the kind very soon.-El Dorado

The Courier some three years ago exerted itself tp procure postal rights for the pioneer citiZens of Tonto Basin IL urged HOn.G. H. Oury, late delegate 10 congress, to lay the matter before the F. O. department at Washington. He dId SO and weekly mail service was placed upon the route from Globe tO Verde. This was something. but more was needed; new settlements were short ly after made, and increased population called for an increase in the service. People expected Delegate Bean to have the service increased. He has been re minded of the want, but has failed to supply it, and this paper now requests Gov. Zllick, who IS at the East, to se- cure proper postal facilities for the in dustrious inhabitants of a section ot this large country, that has II Is said. between l,5OO and 20O0 people engaged ID farming, stock raising. mining, numbering. etc.-Courier.
 The Courier is reminded that Col. Bean is not the postmaster general Its attention is also called to the fact that the democratic postmaster general has curtsIled the postal service to almost to 8 prohibition, in nearly every portion of Arizona, in spite of the almost unani- nous protestations of the people. and the appeals of our delegate are met with 6 deaf ear. in strong contrast to the &C., ton of the late republican postmaster general when the former democratic delegate made his request.

TIE local democratic organ has good word to say for the democratic ticket of Cochise county; nod and smile fer that of MsricoPa county; and s general approval of the action oi the democracy everywhere but IF Pima county. The ticket snesked back into its columns. and there it remains like a patent medicine advertisement, unhon- ored and unsung. There is something, however, in the republican platform that absor0s the entire attention ot our democratic contemporary. It must be a standing menace to the great un- washed. that 1t irritates that misguided element so greatly. The Star takes 1t up, q plank at time; says it is not what it is painted, and then proceeds to scold it. kick it, shake it and even to bite It, and then looks at the mocking thing with a wonder if anybody will see the prints of its venomous teethl The blanks are all there still, and they are sound and intact and full of patriotism and good sense.

A CAREFUL perussl of the published
 reasons why Col Curtis c. Bean should
 not be reelected delegate tc Congress
 develops a startling array of his sins of
 omission. and when We reflect upon
 their magnitude We almost shed copious
 tears containing an unusually high per.
 oeataRe of chloride of sodium. From
 these voluminous attacks upon delegate
 Bean We can readily see the picture of
 his woeful inefficiency through demo-
 cratic eyes. The fact that he dId not
 shoot the land thieves and burn their
 fraudulent titles constitutes an un- pardonable offense against honest set-
 tiers. When Baron Reavis's great am
 bItion and consuming svarice nnpelled
 him to reach out upon 6 bro Cader scale Tor the acquisition oi something he did not own, and he tried to steal a large slice ot Arizona by means of fraudulent claim or grant, 1t was the duty of Mr.
 bsan to at once climb to the dome of the national capitol and get sstride the shoulders of hberty's grand statue, and there shout bloody murder, fire, thieves, robbers, to attract tine attention of the whole world; he should have poisoned the White House dog and seized H favorable opportunity tO tread 0n the presidents fayorte corn; cast an insinusting reproach upon the Folsom character by wicked shrug of his shoulders, aud raised sheoJ generally in the most tur- bulent cowboy fashion. He should have gone further, and knocked down the Secretary of the Interior; then with 6 bravery that would have forever hon. ored his memory as 6 martyr had he fallen in the good cause, he should have forced entrance into the general land office, armed with half a dozen Colts and a few Winchester's. and shot out the cursed spot on the land grant rec Ords, and impsled upon his gory bsyo- net any one who opposed him. All these things should have been done, and his duty to his constituency should have impelled hIm to let Uncle Sam know that Arizona was bad man from Bit ter creek, and was disposed to have its rations of exact justice without any red tape about them. When the postmaster general had his teeth knocked down hls | throat few times, and Commission CT | Sparks was compelled to take his meals l from the mantel in a standing attitude | because of spirited interview with our delegate; when the combination on the | national treasury would spring back su- tomatically at his simple command and | Arizona be invited to help itself, then would the government begin to realize that We had a live representative in Washington. But Col. Bean did not do these things. He urged and coaxed and in the interests of Arizona, but when Uncle Sam became Obdurate he sat supiDely down and let the law take its course instead of taking it by the throat and shaking it out of its boots. That Is the burden of the dem DcratIc opposition to Col Bean and 1t comprises the only basis of complaint against him. He has labored faithfully and earnestly for the good of Arizons and its people, and has accomplished as much as 1t was possible for any one O accomplish with such a one-horse
Arizona weekly citizen., 1886-10-02

TRUE fo is instincts. the Star Is try ing t) brace the vertebrae of those demcrats who are trying the desperate game Of making voters out of MexIcanf who are not qualified but are deceived into ac4uie=cence through misrepresen. tation and promise of reward. It also attempts to bulldoze those who intend to stamp out the outrage, by making covert thrests against them.

REALLY, fl 1t had been coniectured for a moment that the invuluersble plat form 4 the republican party ot Arizona wou.l prove to be such 0 painful thorn ID the side ot the democratic cadaver, common pity for theIr sorrows would have prompted the formulation of a meAninsless milk-Rni. water mess like that they profess to confess unto.
