Rather tough on Franklin Demo-
cracy if true. An enthusiastic KIotz
man last Saturday hired a horse and
carriage and drove out in the country
about three miles in order to have GER
tain individual deposit a ballot in the
interest OF Klota delegates. At the
polls, however, a Cassidy spirit took
possession of him, and up to the polls
he goes and drops his vote for Michael
much to the discomfort of the KlOtz

Innk Ont for Them.

Parties having fine pianos should e1- ereise some caution m the selection of timers and beware of itinersnt botchers. There has been a great deal of com plsint of instruments ruined by these keep-ln-the dark individuals, whom no one knows whence they came or where tbey pn. They insist. most perslstently upon tuning your piano for anything tbey can get, from s to square meal ami often offer to throw in @ bottle of some villsinOus sticky com nonnd. which they call piano polish.
 Among pianos injured at Tombstone, are Post Master ClaTks, .. IS. Bogg, mer- chant. Mir Fisher, mine owner, Mrs Fccleetop'F, Joe Psscholy's made worse than before; saloon pisno, ruined.
 It is gratifying to know that the e1 perience of the people Of southern All zona has taught them profitable lesson i'm this respect. and they are Dow careful moi to eptrust their valuable instruments .o unknown itiuerRnts. but await the ar. rival of the regular Eemi-snuusl sgen' and tuner, Mir. A. Redeuill, whose wotk giees uuivers7l satisfaction. ln thi' city he has had all the work he could st fen to during his briet visit, and dur ing the past month he has tuned oNe' one hundred pianos m this terri'oIy During the past six years MT. hedeuii .- bas sold over two hundred 'nstrunen.' .' in Arizona. and has never mlsrepresenI ed one of them.

TIE OPPORITNITY-


 The Phenix Gazette truthfully says "Thst Arizona must not abate her ef- forts to induce immigration, but ou the contrary should reGouble them, IS ap parent ID the face of California's experi eace. At meeting of the Cslitornis immigration association, held in Sau Francisco on the 7th inst, the president in his report, stated that in 1881 tbe ss- sessed property in the state, real and personal, amounted to S6i5. 47l. .066, and four years later, in 1885. to sSl0, ,4S6. .i63 m increase of Sl65,0l6.56S. The in- crease in taxable property bss been rel stively greater in Lbs Angeles than in any other portion Of the state. The sec retary's report claims that the associa' ton has been instrumental in settling about three million of the five million ol sores filed upon and entered during the past five years. There remains, accord ing to his estimate. about thirteen mil lion acres of land, mostly remote, suIts' ble for agricultural process. During the year there were 3063 homesteads and 1882 prs-emptions filed, embracing r. 1S2. .S62 acres.
 Arizona can certainly offer to the peo- pie of limited means ID the crowded east more advantages and inducements for settlement than the vacant lands of California now afford, and her mines. stock ranges, timber resources, etc, all n an undeveloped state, present Jhe finest opportunities for investment of pubic capital. These facts must be kept before the publIc eye. and in their true light, Gs they are most important to our material welfare and immediate advancement. If liberal view IS taken of the question by the next legislature and Comprehensive measures adopted Tn its encouragement, there ls but little doubt that Arizona will secure her full share of immigration, and the taxable property of the territory doubled within the next two years. The opportunity has arrived and little can We afford that if be neglected

HE inequality of representatives in congress to the voters of the various states Is a sublect that demands reform stIon and more careful spportionment. As 1t now exists, one Kansas district cast 36, 6,3iO votes and elected one repre- sentative; the entire state of South Car ollns cast 32,0 ,00J votes and elected sev- en congressman, while New Mexico cast 2S,595 votes and elected only one dele gate who is deprived of nearly every right and privilege of & Congressman. Just why thirty-two thousand votes in one state gives seven times the repre- sentstIon and power in congress that thlrty-sIx thousand votes do in another, IS matter of injustice that the people do not comprehend the reasons for per petrating. And while the spporlion- ment IS being modified snd amended. Congress should be reminded that the territories contain great many good citizens Of the United States, who pay taxes and approximately contribute to the government in a spirit of loyalty, and that they ought, as a right, to have equal representation ia the halls of the national ccngress with states of like pop ulston. Or at least, their single dele gate should be accorded all the powers and privileges of a regular congress- man.

IS 1885, the legislature of Arizous passed bill taxing insurance compa- nies doing business in this territory, each in the sum of S2JO. Later, RI Rdmend. ment was made levYing a tax of one and one half per cent upon the premium se- csipis, by which il was thought consid- ereble revenue would inure to the terri tory out of the vast sums annually sent out ID pay men: for fire and life insur- snce. The insurance companies have met this exac,iOn by making 8n addi- tional charge equal in amount to two per cent of the premium for every policy issued, by which means the burden of this special tax IS lsid upon the already overtRIed citizen, who also pays a tax upon the identical property covered by this pledge of idennity. Through such a practical application, or rather mis- application, the law imposes unjust ex- actions upon the people, and the next legislature should either repeal or SO amend it that its intended effect would be produced.

sODA-FOUNTAIS EXPLOSION.
Mr.. Henry separk Seriously II not
Fatally Injured.

For some time past Mr.. Henry A. Scpark
has been conducting a confectionery and
cigar.stOre at the northwest corner OF Main
aud Twenty-secOnd streets. He has also
operated sOda-wller fountain in his store.
and has done a considerable business in
charging the fountains OF other persons IN
that section OF the city.
some time ago Mr.. Separk bought a
secondhand fountain, which he had re.
fitted here. When the fountain was first
returned he refused to receive ii and sent
it back TO the man who had repaired 1t that
the latter might make his job more salts
factory one. The fountain was again taken
TO Mr.. Separk, and was said to be proof.
Yesterday morning shortly before 10
O'Clock Mr. SepIrk was engaged In
charging this fountain, and had on q
pressure Of about 900 pounds Of carbonic
acid gas, when an explosion took place aud
the fountain burst in two where IL had been
mended. The report was a loud one, and
alarmed the entire neighborh0od.
Mr.. George W. Turner, who keeps
drugstore on the opposite side OF Main
street, was sitting In his Office when he
heard the report, and, jerking up his hat.
ran across the street, and was the first t0
reach the unfortunate man. Mrs. separk
was in the back Of the store, and soon ran
down into the basement, where she found
her husband lying out a. il dead and bleed
ing freely. Several physicians were sum-
moned. Dr. Riddell was the first TO reach
the house. The ambulance soon arrived,
and DIR. Curd. the family physician, soon
after. Mfr. Separk was removed TO his
chamber, where the physicians made an
examination OF the wounds.
The left eve wa. seriously injured, and
possibly the brain also. There are confused
and hcerated wounds over the eye and
upon the forehead. The upper and lower
lips are badly torn. Both bones OF the left
forearm are broken between the wrist and
elbow. II Is what j. termed a " compound
comminuted fracture"
Several stitches were taken in one OF the
wounds on the lip.
Mr.. Separk is considered seriously II not
fatally injured, and the chances are against.
his recovery.
Drs. Mcclure, Curd, and Others held
consultation yesterday afternoon snd de-
eided not to undertake any surgical opera
ton before to-day, II at alt.
The injured man is nephew OF Police-
man Allen Burnett. and was raised by MIN.
His early life was spent In Manchester. hut
he has resided in this city fer many years
past, and in TIE two cities enjoys an envn-
bic reputation a. man and citlzen.
