Equine Gambling Appliances.

Trotting is the development of CIV
ilized ideas and tendencies. The trot-
ting horse can be utilized in almost
every phase of everyday existence and
is an essential and most valuable ele-
ment in the practical life and period.
1t is of value to the physician, the
stagecoach, the traveller, the business
man in search of pleasure and health
full recreation. To not one of these
is the racehorse of the slightest value.
The single use to which it is put is that
of gambling; in moral sense the ami
NAL is no more nor less than roulette
wheel, a faro-deck of cards, or any
other of the appliances employed in
gaming. The chief patrons of horse
racing are professional gamblers, as it
is to them simply variation in the
kind of gambling-a change, as it were,
from poker to rouge-et-noir.

They Dnd Their own Marketing.

Daniel Webster is described by Mai.
Poore in many places. 81 He was known"
says he, "as BLACK Dan,' from his
swarthy complexion. He had a stall
wart frame, massive head, crowned
with a wealth of black hair, and his
heavy eyebrows overhung deep caver-
nous eyes. He was marked man in
any crowd. Daniel Webster was good
liver, but he had no care about money"
Maj. Poore says that he was often in
pecuniary straits, though his profess
sional income could not have been less
than $4,000 a year. Hereceived $4,000
for a single fee as counsel for the Com
missioners on Spanish claims, and his
purse to enable him to purchase the
house in which the millionaire Cor
coran now lives" Daniel Webster did
his own marketing, says Major Poore.
He was regular attendant at the
Marsh Market on market mornings.
He almost invariably wore a large,
broad-brimmed, soft felt hat. with his
favorite blue coat and bright buttons, a
buff cashmere waistcoat and black
trousers. Going from stall to stall, fol-
lowed by servant bearing large bas-
ket, in which purchases were carried
home, he would joke with the butchers,
fish-mongers and green-grocers with a
grave drollery of which his biographers,
in their anxiety to defy him, have made
no mention. He always liked to have
friend or two at his dinner table, and
in inviting them, sans ceremo,aei, he
would say in his deep, CHEEKY voice,
"COme and dine with me tomorrow. I
purchased noble saddle of Valley of
Virginia mutton in market last week,
and think you will enjoy it," Or, 81
received some fine Goldfish from Boston
to-day, sir; will you dine with me at
five o'clock and taste them?" Or"

morning, sir, and left orders with
Monica, my cook, to have it baked in
the real old Virginia style, with stuffing
of chestnuts and surrounded by baked
sweet potatoes. twill be dish fit for
the gods. Come and taste it."
President Harrison also attended the
Washington markets, and it was get
ting up early and going out in the wet
that killed him. He was an obstinate
old fellow, and he stood on the front
steps of the Capitol without his over
coat on the day of his inauguration.
And a few days before he was taken
sick he was overtaken by a shower on
one of those marketing excursions and
refused to change his clothes when he

Stewart, the live stock commission merchant of Flagstaff, car load Of Norman Percheron, three-year-old colts, which weighed from 100 to 1850 pounds each. Stockmen who saw them loaded OH the train, say that they are the best ball of colts that have ever been shipped fion tn IS section. They arc all gentle and broke, and without doubt will bring large price in California to which place MT. Stewart IS shipping them. The shipment of this band of colts corroborates the statement winch We have made in the Champi )n 50 often, that nowhere in Arizona does there exist better facilities for the rIislng Of stock. than around Flagstaff for q radius of 40 miles.

THos. F. Weeden, one of the best journalists in the Territory, in an article published in his paper (the Florence Enterprise,) among other things has this to say about C. C.. Bean. "As was expected, the Re publican Territorial Convention se- lected as their standard bearer in the congressional contest the Hon. C. C. Bean, the present incumbent. Tine Enterprise has no words of reproach for MT. Bean as man. It believes he is conscientious, upright citizen, guided in all his tran sections bv honest motives and the most sincere convictions. s."

Resolved, That we are in favor of increasing tlie associate justices of the Territory. A.
 Resolved, That the sweeping re- moval of the judges of the Territory by President Cleveland was an abuse of power, violation of law, and a disgraceful exercise of political power.
 Resolved, That General Miles is entitled to our warmest gratitude and respect for his sterling efforts to sub due the Apaches, and the magnificent success of his arduous campaign is but the result of that calm judgment and military skill which are characteristic of the true soldier; that Captain Law. ton, Lieut Gatewood and their gal lant command through whose untiring efforts the Apache war was brought to successful termination, have dis played herolsm and restless zeal which stamp them as model soldiers of determination and devotion to duty, and entities them to our eternal grati. tude.
 Resolved, That We are in favor of the appointment of Federal officers from the residents of the Territory; and that we earnestly urge the passage of law by Congress which shall per init delegates to vote and have equal powers with members of Congress from States and that the Territorial officers shal! be elected by the people.
 Resolved, That this convention declares its unqualified approval of the late Republican administration in Arizona, its progressive and beneficial influence upon the advancement of the Territory, its freedom from narrow and partisan abuse of power, and the broad and liberal stand taken by it upon all matters of public interest.
 Resolved, That the Republicans of Arizona unreservedly condemn the, course pursued by Governor Zulick in attacking the good name and credit of the Territory by continued and studied misrepresentations for partisan purposes.
 We charge him with having slander- ed the citizens of Arizona Tn official proclamations and with falsely claim ing credit for results accomplished without his help or instrumentality.
 We charge him with an arbitrary and partisan abuse of power, in his efforts to remove without cause or authority of law able public servants who are faithful to the trusts imposed upon them and who command the respect and confidence of the Territory. We charge the administration of Governor Zulick with being narrow and partisan in its efforts and purposes, tending to prostitute public officials to party schemes in the organization of partisan Grand Juries under the influence of party manipulators a, great expense and without beneficial results.
 Resolved, That the Republicans of Arizona commend the action of the appointees of the late Republican ad ministration in maintaining their rights to remain in office until the legal expiration oi their terms, and approve their steadfast fealty to the Republican party and their resistance to the arbitrary and illegal assumption of power by Governor ZuIick. | ..---..,.--.,,.---

It Is claim-d that the Santa Fe R.

It is said that the road in Kansas and Colorado and Indian Territory and the recent purchase, the Gulf, Colorado and Sante Fe, running through Texas to the Gulf of Mexico, will be under one manager, and commencing at La Junta the line running through New Mexlco to Fl Paso and Deming and the Atlantic & Pacific from Al buquerque to the coast, will be under another manager and the gentleman will be D.

@>As~z>szrzzezE.-EEz--- -x<nl-a- THE TWO IlCikELS.

By comparison of the two county tickets 1t will be seen that the dem- oCrats have nominated only Prescott men to the lucrative offices, such as Sheriff, Treasurer, District Attorney, Recorder and Probate Judge, thus entirely ignoring the claims of anyone outside of that pretentious burg. Prescott, being the county seat, largest town and business centre of the county, naturally has right to be considered, but when she demands everything from party and it is willingly conceded, It looks as if something more substantial than fit ness was the pursuasive power.
 The republicans, on the contrary gave but three nominations to Pres colt, one of which Is a renomination and the incumbent necessarily resides there. From this showing It will be e; silly seen which party. is free and untrammeled and has consideration for every section oft the whole county, and whi,h bows the knee to its bosses and Is considerate only of a clique of chronic office holders. This is only one view of the subject, upon which the voters of Yavapai county should concentrate their gaze at present.
