When Governor Zulick received hi. appointment as governor of this territory i, was publicly iroclsl ned by leaders. o the democratic party that he vas '.great organizer from away back" and II was owing to .his fac, largely that he received his appointment The powers that be in Washington were desirous of having some one at the head of affairs in ,hls territory who could manipulate political affairs 50 as to turn the tide in favor of that party. The governor and his trusted henchmen. his private sec retary and the United States marshal used them bes, efforts towards that end II would seem however that then efforts m this direction have not been fully appreciated by the rank and file of the party and instead of advancing the interests of the party, ;heir over jealous partisan actions have reacted against il. That the party does not propose to be ruled by shese organizers and would-be bosses Is evidenced from the following from the democratic organ of this town which says: 1.-The Courier will say..th is is the duty of every Democrat 10 vote for delegates who are qualified to ac. we'll their parts in convention. Let the election be fair and square; let the men ~ho will be elected represent the sentiments of a majority sf those who shall elect them, and platform and ticket will be given she people ot old Yavapai that wili con- fonnd the followers o: the 'Great Organ izer" and his gang.

Much has been sad about the Guiteaeu

Much has been sad about the Guiteaeu curse To show what absolute nonsense this IS, one need only bring up the paraI Tel of the actors Tn the electoral con- mission struggle.

Hancock, who was all important military factor d; inc time. and who was regarded with alarm by the repub- cans Is dead. Zack Chandler, who sent the famous dispatch declaring Hayes elected IS dead. Garfield, who sat on the commission, was assassinated. Matt Carpenter IS dead, and Conkling IS ou, of politics, while Hayes IS raising chick ems. And all this was only ten years agO-Ex.

The congressional enactment prohib- lting the passage of special laws m the territories of the United States, while ii may be regarded as radical innovation upon the established custom of loose legislation in fontier dependencies, IS reallyia wholesome law. Its first sec sion is q verbatim copy Of the Illinois state constitution on these subjects. and similar provisions are found m almost every state constitution. The intent of she measure is very plain It means that no one c,iizea or corporation shall be gwen special and exclusive advan- sages over another, but genera! laws may be enacted covering the several subjects nclueded in the law, which are availa- ble by any and all persons clothed with ;he proper conditions to provoke their sid. 1t prohibits only special legisla- ton, which has been found extremely pernicious from the frequency its privileges are abused Citizen.

OBsTRUCTING NAVIGATION.

A Complaint From Captain Richard Peck That Oyster Shells Are Liable To Fill Up The Channel In The HarbOr.
 A meeting of the board of harbor commits sioners was held yesterday morning to con- sider complaints regarding the obstruction to navigation by dumping oyster shells into the harbor. There were present ex-Governor English, presiding; Capt. Charles H. Towns bend, Curtis F. Evarts, Prof. w. P. Trow- bridge and City Engineer Hill, clerk of the board. Corporation Counsel Driscoll was also present to look out for the interests of the city. The fish commissioners sent Clerk Botsford te state to the harbor commission CTS that the matter under consideration was outside the jurisdiction of the commission and it's members did not attend.
 A complaint from Captain Richard Peck, of the New Haven Steamboat company, in which it was alleged that the oyster shells being dumped into the harbor were liable to fill up the channel and make navigation diff fcult, was read, and Capt. Curtis F. Evarts told the meeting that one of his tugboat captains had seen the oysters being dumped into the harbor near it's mouth from one of Ludington's steamers. This MT. Evarts considered, was apt in time to shoal the har- bor. The best way of considering the diff ficulty was discussed for some time.
 Fl. 0. Rowe stated to the board that the oyster lands within the limits of the harbor were owned by 75 or 100 small growers in small parcels and suggested that it would be we'll to cause these men to appear before the board before any definite plan of action was agreed upon. It was finally determined to ap- point a committee of three to make an exam ination of the harbor, ascertain to what ex- tent the water has been shoaled, see the par ties interested in the oyster beds and then report back to the board. The gentlemen se- Iected to serve on the committee are Captain Townshend, Captain Evarts and Professor w. P. Trowbridge. No day has yet been set for the trip down the harbor, but the matter will be attended to at the earliest convenience of the members of the committee.
