The Board of Equalization declined to reduce the assessment of the Atlantic and Pacific railroad as rendered by the Assessor, and the amount stands $l ,757.- O00 as returned.

We are glad to note that Phin Clan ton has recovered his well known sad de horse Selim. The animal was found at the ranch of Thos. Johnson, near the Zuni reservation. Every indication points to the Indians as the thieves. A party of Indians were encamped near Clanton at the time the horse was stolen. Several days after, Johnson relates that late in the afternoon, two Indians pass cd lis ranch, stopping 10 water their ponies. Their actions were suspicious and the next morning Johnson discov- cred the foot prints of shod horse. He followed it for several miles until it join ed the trail of the two Indian ponies, from thence he trailed it to the Zuni village, and here he found Clanton's $ horse in corral. The Indians claim that they put the horse in the corral to keep him off dheir crops. but would make no further explanation. After some barley they surrendered the horse to Johnson, who carried hlm to his ranch, and at once notified Clanton. Nothing has been heard of the other horse lost by Mr. Clanton at the same time. See advertisement of the animal in another column.

All praying that road be made so as to strike the Little Colorado River directly the town of Holbrook, and the bridge to be built at the same place, contrary to the desires of two of the Wagon Road Commissioners and few others interested to have the road made so as to strike the Colorado River 21a miles above the town, at the dam of the Holbrook Irrigating and Canal Com pany, thus necessitating the building of the bridge thereon, where neither road nor bridge is of any benefit to the town of Holbrook or the public.

The Earthquake at Charleston.

The following extract from the letter
of the Charleston correspondent of the
New York World dated on Friday last
will be found interesting, and will ena-
BILE our readers to comprehend the con-
dition of the Inflated city three days
after the earthquake:
1t is not too much to say that attention
centres this morning in Capt. F. w.
Dawson, of the NelCS and Courier
Perhaps the opinion of great ews.
paper in its community was never shown
in a more striking degree. Above the
Mayor or the city officials, or indeed
any other person or element, the public
appes Is to Capt. Dawson for advice,
suggestion and help. The World cor
respondent found him in his office this
morning busted in the attempt to get
out the first paper worthy of the name
since the earthquake shock. In reply
to inquiries he said 1.-THE trouble with
our people is that they are facing an
unknown foe. 1t is something that
they have never been called upon to
confront before. When a storm ap-
proaches, they know what to do, they
can calculate the probable damage to
life or property. and have some warning
of its coming, but here is an unknown
quantity as mysterious as terrible It
may come in moment ; it may not
come in hundred years. 1t may enguIf
the whole city, or simply shake a Chin
ney loose from its foundations. 1t is
the mystery that appals the people as
much as the actual danger"
I asked Capt. Dawson when he looked
for a revival of confidence and a new
impulse among the people, quoting the
case Of a man who said he expected to
sleep on the grass indefinitely. your
friend" said Capt. Dawson, who in
tends to sleep on the grass for the winter,
will cure himself in a day or two, when
he finds that his house has not fallen,
and will creep back into it. There was
one-third less people camped out last
night than the night before. Without
serious disturbance to-day there will not
be half as many tonight. The trouble
IS not over, however. When a man gets
back into his house and finds that his
walls do not tumble about his head, il
has just begun. He is in the usual case
a man of modest means, who owus his
home aud depends upon his salary, or
lives upon a moderate income. He finds
his house is wrecked. There are seams
in the walls, the foundation is wTenched.
and it will cost perhaps a years income
or double as much and even five times
as much, to repair his home. For this
delay he gets no Tecompense, except TO
make his home habitable. II is an in
vestment from which he gets no income
and is a clear and often crushing loss.-
This is where the great suffering will

Railroads and their Management.

How many of our readers have an ad-
equate idea of the magnitude of our rail
road system If stretched out H. con-
tlnuOus line il would reach five times
around the globe, with a few miles to
spare for good measure. In fact, the
United States possesses about one-half
the total railroad mileage of the world,
and it has been laid down at cost of
about "a 4S0 000. 600. In 1855 the aggre-
gate earnings were S772 SOS. SS3 this
sum, be it remembered, was earned du-
ring period when the TailI DAD earnings
reached the lowest point of depression
known in their history, and lower than
we are likely to see again in many years.
If our railroads had been fairly and
hon estly built, and been managed with
out the addition of water, they would be
the best paying investment in the land, q,
but systematic mismauagement and ma :
nipulatiOn in the interests of building
syndiCateS have done their work effectu-
ally. and the result has been that, in
periods of depression, hundreds of them
have gore into the hands of receivers,
whence many have emerged, financial
wrecks, entailing disastrous losses upon
the cOndding people who had put their
trust and their money into them. Amer
lean railroads seem once more to be en-
teTlng upon prosperous era, when most
OF them will earn money fol- their own
ers. 1t were well if puTeT, cleaner
management characterized the new de-
parture. but this is not to be looked for
There is class of men who live by rail
road wTecking and mismanagement.-
These are always at work, and may be
relied on to ply their business as vigoT-
Ously iD The future as in the past, and
with the "a TpSUifg A9

majority aud a Democratic Legislature,
The State election took place in Vermont

Legislature carried the day. On Monday
next the election in Maine will take
place and Judging from the vigorous eff
forts that Mr.. Blaine and bis friends
are making TO carry the State it looks as
if they are badly scared. The Prohibi-
tioDists under the lead of Neal Dow are
making a strong fight, not for COnstitu-
tiOnal Prohibition, for the State has
that now, but for the election Of a Leg
islature that will pass the necessary laws
to enforce it, his allegation being that
the last Republican Legislature didn't
take any really effective steps in that
direction, although pledged to do so.-
Does it not look passing strange that
after Neal Dow and his ultra temperance
friends have been tinkering at the liquor
question in Maine for thirty years, and
have at last got it hedged around with
Constitutional Prohibition, that they
should now be engaged in an effort to
secure its enforcement by the Legisla-
ture Could anything be more conclu-
sive of the question, does Prohibition
prohibit Tie struggle in Maine now
in favor of Prohibitory Legislation be-
comes still more singular when we con-
slider that two years ago the vote for st.
John in Maine was only 216O, that the
vote for Eustis, the Prohibition candi-
date for Governor, was only 119O, while
the vote cast on the same day for the
Prohibitory amendment was 70,7S3.

Unhappy Charleston.

Though there may be reason to hope
that III the first excitement OF an awful
calamity the loss of life and Immediate
damage to property at Charleston have
been exaggerated ard Overestlmdted, 1t
is. unhappi,y, hardly possible to escape
the fear that the prosperity of the city
has suffered ali injury from which lJs
recovery will be slow.
BEFORE the earthquake of last Tues
dav Charleston seemed to be entering
upon a period of growth without PdTal-
lei in its previous history. 1t had en-
dured many gIievOus trials and discour-
aging set eJbacks-the terrible fires OF 117S,
1896. 1888, and 1861, the destruction
caused by civil war, and the cyclone of
Aug. %. 1SS5-but IL was pressing for
ward with extraordinary energy To re-
cover its losses and TO place itself III
position of far greater Importance as
Southern seaport than 1t had ever been
before.
Northern capitalists had taken hold of
the South Carolina Railway, which
starts from the city, and had brought it
/ into a condition comparable with that of
| the more perfectly built and equipped
/ railroads of the Union. They also eX-
| tended and developed its business by
.
| ances. and the Federal Government had
/ undertaken the work OF deepening the
! entrance TO the haTbOF, 50 that the meT-
chants of the town were rejoicing over
.he speedy coming of the time when
| vessels of the greatest dTaught would
| take their cargOeS of cotton at Charles
ton whaIves. and its commerce would be
MANY times multiplied. The population
| which had increased by only about 15OC
/ between 1860 ard 1880, in which latter
year II was 49, ,7S4, had grown to 60, IA
| In 1885. making a gain In the i've years
of more than 20 per cent.
OF course, the earthquake OF the 3lst
of August Will have the effect to Sc
back this tide of prosperity for a time al
least, and it is not unlikely that many
wears will have passed before Charleston
again feels such an impetus as tina
which il has experienced since 1885,
Capital will be shy of the unhappy towr
so long as the remembrance OF the calam
itV remains vivid. Instead of getting
ready for future development, the inhab
itants must now go 10 work 10 repair
damages done, and meanwhile trade ma.
get into new channels, from which 1
can only be diverted by a slow process
What effect, if any. the earthquake ha
but appreheusiOns aroused 10y disaste
so unprecedented along our AtIanti
coast must, at least temporarily. retaTt
the growth of Char iestOu as a seaport.
We therefore extend to the citizens o
that old und proud community our heart
lest sympathies in their terrible misfOr
tune. Charleston is a town which viii
be forever memorable II the history O
this republic, for il has always been in
bdbited by brave and generous people
who, from the beginning, have love
liberty ami light, and have never faile
in exhibiting the courage of their COZ
victiOns.
Nay they get from the peo pie of th
whole Union not merely words Of syn
, pathy, but also substantial evidences O
regard and helpfuIness.-N. 7. Sn1

THOMAS A. ARMSTRONG, editor of
the Labor Tribune, published in Pitts
burg, and who was the Labor candidate
for Governor in 1882, refers to William
J. Bremen, the Democratic nominee for
Auditor General, as follows
"The nomination of William J. Bren-
nen for Auditor General of this State,
by the late Democratic convention, was
a meTitOriOus act, and one which we be-
lieve the miners of the State will not
forget to recipTOcate. 1t would seem to
US as if such auspiciOus omens ought to
cheer US on to make manly effOIt to
have him elected. Mr.. Bremen has al
ways been a true friend of the miners,
and if they can be instrumental in bav-
/ ing him elected they will WELD a power
in politics they have never had before
| a power which the miners in this State
| badly need. They have been deprived
| of rights they never would have beer
/ deprived of had they concentrated then
/ forces upon their friends.

WITH regard to the prospect of Eu-
ropean demand for the surplus wheat
crop of this country, a New York dis
patch of a late date says a prominent
fact in the inaIcial situation of the time
is the favorable reports from Europe Of
demand for wheat. IL England the
crop is ten per cent. below the average,
aud in France about nine per cent. below
the crop of last year. Australia this
year is an importer instead Of an export
er of wheat, and is drawing supplies
from Iudia and California. We are now
exporting wheat freely, and the effect is
felt in the foreign exchanges, an effect
which is of a more permanent nature
than that produced by the export of Sc
curities, which are apt to be returned tC

without regard to past party afilia-
tions, there is very friendly feeling for
Lieutenant Governor Black among the
agTiculturists of the State. Like his IL
lustrious father, who was plough-boy
in his youth, and titled the soil TO his
latest day, Chauncey F. Black has close
sympathy with the farming interests of
the State and it is not surprising, tho
very significant, that an entirely inde-
pendent agricultural journal, like the
Meadville Herald, should speak in such
terms as these of the Democratic noml-
inee for Governor
The Democrats have nominated a
| man for Governor who stands out Sc
prominently an advocate of the things
| which are so closely identified with the
farmers welfare that we deem it ouI
duty to call their special attention tC
| them. First, the farmers want an hon
est tax law one that will place the bur
deDs of taxation more equally upon the
property protected by government. Th'
other is law to enforce the 18th article
of the peoples constitution. The peopl
are ground TO the dust because in viola
tion of the constitution we pay exUrbi
tant freight for what we both sell ant
buy.
Governor Black has explained hi
position on these questions so often tina
every farmer and mechanic in the Stat
knows where he stands. He will be, a
he always has been, the friend of tn
people, No monopoly or corpOratOr ca
persuade him to desert the people Of th
State. He is in himself a suf1cier
platform, and no pledge made by th
/ Convention was necessary.
mo man in Pennsylvania, save pei
haps his father, has said and done
much as Chauncey F. Black to indu(
. the people to elect Legislature, al

g an honest tax bill and an uncomprom
d sing railroad bill to enforce the letter

THE number of persons killed at
