Henson Itema,

The Benson smelter will soon resume operations under an entirely new man. agement. An Eastern syndicate are ne- gotating for the premises, and it is said will succeed in obtaining control of this valuable property. When the business changes hands the new proprietors will proceed at once to erect large refining works near the smelter, and they will endeavor by fair dealings with the public to do large portion of the work which is at present sent out of the Territory. Mir. Darlington, the present superintend- ent of the business, is a gentleman who possesses the esteem and good will of all, and it is confdingly expected that the new management will retain him in their employ.
 The JIG saloon is one of the best houses in the town, and the proprietors are accommodating courteous gentle men.

Who cMn Vote.
TOMBSTONE, Feb. 5, 1886.

 EDITOR EPITAPH:
 Friends of the tax and those opposed to it, have referred to me to know who can vote at the election. Section Io4, of the school law reads: No person shall be entitled to vote who is not a taxpayer in the district For election of school trustees section s, reads: GOT who paid territorial or county school tax during the preceding year."
 am asked if persons who paid poll tax can vote. My answer is, no. Poll tax is not a school tax. None but those who pay property tax, are tax payers in the meaning of the law. If the legislature had intended that all who pay poll tax could vote, they would have said all male citizens, over the age of twenty one years, for all such pay poll tax and not one cent of such funds are used for school purposes.
 Are those whose taxes are now delinq- uent, entitled to vote? answer yes, if they have not pad, the officers of the law are to blame. Their property is here and subject to taxation and if the tax is voted, it will be the fault of the trustees if they do not pay it. l am asked if those who have recently come into the district, and purchased property, are entitled to vote. answer yes, if they have been here thirty days. Their property is liable to be taxed, and they have right to their say, as others.

Ex-President Arthur.

The death OF Ex.President Arthur,
though 1t WAS known that his. health
was in very precarlous conditiou, WAS
p1dden and unexpected. There Is q
general profound regret all over the
country at the death OF so distin guished
. man. The general feeling has always
been that President Arthur was not III
tellectually a great man, but that he
was man OF strong personal convic-
lions that enabled him to take O very
decided stand in defence OF what he be-
lieved to be right. Being Republican
not only by education but by oonvlc-
ton, he became u stalwart in polltics,
but In whatever position be has been
placed or ir whatever he may have
done, the smireh Of hypocricy and dis
honesty does not attach to his official
skirts.
IL must be said OF President Arthur
that the country never suffered through
his Ctfi cial action. His life and the
honor TO which he attained Is another
beacon star TO the poor boys OF the
land who are starting out apparently
without money or friends. They oan-
not all be President, but they can b,
honest men like Mr.. Arthur, and lik,
him throw their influence into tn,
scale on the side OF honesty and goot
