IRE Star attempts to throw dust into the eyes of the voters regarding the Paul-Shaw contest and the part played by Shaw and bis Acknowledgements King. Itspeaks of Comp. King ss the defender of the rights of the people and the advocate of the ssnctity of the bsllot,' when it knows he was sctusted solely by a greed of gain. He set up 8 plea of principle, and secured rehesr- ing ID the case upon unsupported d. legations, but the trial never came of to test the truth of the charges because HE FEARED THE RESULT. and begged for TERMS OF COMPROMISE that would per- init Shaw to acquire the office a suffi- eient length of time 10 pay for his legal seryices. Tbs man Shaw, through his attorney, sacrificed every so-called principle" "hoDor" Brd "ssnctity of the ballot box" to get the feE dollars the office might bring. IL their cese was good one why did they no. push 1t to conclusion, particularly Bs cash. forteIt of S3.GO0 was deposited with the clerk of the court as indemnity in case they established the truth of their allegations? They begged for terms of compromise. and when they offered conditions that promised better results than to continue the con- taaf n-oaaa3 3rp aa x-.r, .tor,of ar1 tta compromise left the "principle IS much undetermined 6s in the begin nIng, with Q six-moaths' lease of the office of sheriff .ss the gross result of the conspiracy. The people believe, very properly. that Mr, Shaw permitted himself to be mace the tool of design ing men to put money into their own pockets, snd tbe pubIic will not repose further confidence in such men. The people may be surprised 10 learn the fac. that this compromise attorney, who aspires to be the district attorney of Pima county, has prepared the papers in a suit sgainsi the county for the back salary and fees alleged to be due to sheriff shaw, and will begin the &C., ton go soon as the election decides that Shaw ct al. must relinquish the office they acquired at such cost.

One Thomas Noult, who hOurished in the thirteenth century, and who is alleged tO have fore told the appeargnce of Napoleon l., the revolution Of lS30 the ltaiIan war and its consequences,t the war of lS1O, and other matters of moment, has left betiud him several predictions for the pres nt year.

THE nominations made by the repub- hcan county convention meet with the commendstion of all classes of citizens, and in comparison with the ticket pre- ented by the democrats, in point of ability, qualifications and personal char acter. 1t is invincible. Every candidate selected possesses a peculiar fitness for the office, and is above criticism both in his prIvate and public walks of life. As the campaign progresses We shall make more direct reference 10 the individual candidates, every one of whom is tow CT of strength, and collectively they form an aggregation of talent and abll- ity seldom combined in county ticket in any state or territory.

THERE is now almost certainty of war being declared, this time sgaInst Turkey. The casus belli is. the Sultan has bestowed the insignia of "ChefRkst" on Mrs. Grover Cleveland, We may overlook all the Canadian inius .ice to our fishermen, and Me1ico's quie. war upon unoffending American citizens, but when such harem- scarem poten- tate as the sultan invades the domestic circle of the immaculate emperor of the democratic party of New York and the solid south, and with malice atore- thought msligns the object of bis connu- bisl affections, by calling her 8 chefakst, the patriotic blood of millions of loyal hearts boil with indignation and resent ment, and nothing will sstiate their thirst for the gore of vengeance than to wiring that Turkeys neck.

IT is currently reported on the streets that the county grand jury, composed chiefly of democrats, is giving more at tention to formulating campaign thun- der than to the legitimate duties of such body. We have DO means of learning whether there is any truth ID these ru- wors, but there have been suspicious in- quiries made and hints thrown out that seem to give little color to them. There IS one thing certain, if the grand jury chooses to descend from its digni- fled functions to become a partisan whip, its acton will recoil upon its party like boomerang.

THE special envoy of the democratic
 administration to the city of Mexico has developed tbe prime tenet of his partisan code of virtue, and has RcguIr- ed the supreme contempt of the Mexican officials. If Mir, Bayard acts wisely he will recall Mir. Sedgwick by telegrsphic order, and place him among the other
 curiOs of the state department. Did
 not a national odium attach to these disgrsceful exhibitions Of human weak ness and frailty by persons enjoying the trust and confidence of their country's executive officers, they would appear IudIcrous indeed. But such an envoy
 as MT, Sedgwick IS the representative of his government; his personality is absorbed in hIs official character, and hls notorious private conduct must be borne upon the nations shoulders. IL will be sneeringly remarked that this is a typical American Of power and inhu- ence In his own country; he is as dlsso
 lu.e and depraved us our wretched peons. and it is a coniemptible power that depends upon the word Of such an irresponsible per son it its consideration of a grave international question. This is ths only logical conclusion the Mexican off cjsls can arrive at, after such an e1hibi- ton as the telegraph tells us Mir. Sedg
 wick has made of himself. As yet Mir. Sedgwick is but one out Of long list of dIsgraceful appointments made by the state department to the foreign service, and among the most conspicuous ex- smples of the kind may be mentioned Consul Greenebsum, the fugitive from | Apia, in the Samoan Islands; Consul Newmark, at Lyons. France; Minister Winston, of the Persian mission, and | other lesser examples of incompetency and debauchery. Mr.lBsyard should re- call his rare specimens of bric-a brsc | and place them iR the national museum.

THE buster and excitement of ap- preaching war is now occupying the at. tention of nearly a. the European pow CTS, and if the clash of arms once pre- cipitates bloodshed, there is no telling where it will end. The fate of the many lesser nations of Europe rests with three or four of the great powers. and they move the general current of pub ho affairs as best suits their own purpo- ses. The Bulgarian troubles may draw England and Russia into a measure of their prowess in war, but it is generally believed that the consequent changes in the map of Europe are already known to Chancellor Bismarck and Czar of Russia, and England is striking wildly in the dark.

To those who have persistsntly as. serted for years that silver coinage
 would soon result in driving gold out of the country, the following facts may
 prove interesting reading: The pro- duction of gold m 1885 m the United

 Director of the Mint. being an increase of Sl 100000 over the estimate of lSSi
 The production of silver for the calen- dar year 1885, calculated at the coiniUg rate in silver dollars. is estimated O. S5l, ,600,0O0. against S4s.sOO,OOO ID 1881, an increase of S2,SUO,UO1 Col orsdo slll retains the foremost rank as The largest producer of the preclous metals. Cali;Crnm re tsining second position. The most not able changes have been n Montana and Idaho, the production of the former having increased from S9,0O0.OOD in lSSi to nearly Sl3.J00,00 in lSSj and the lat ter from S3,g70,0O0 in 1881 to $5,3OO,OOO m 1885. The total value of the bullion and coin imported into the United States during the calendar year was Su AIS. .l20, of which $S.322, ,9O9 consisted of bullion and S33,09j, 120 ot coin.

boys. During the afternoon Of memoir
able Tuesday, William Jr., accompan-
led 0y the boys, started out to bring in
the cattle. Bat instead Of returning
home they drove them TO Adams place
"a short distance south. Alarmed al
their prolonged absence the young " fs
OF William Jr. started out to fad tAem.
and not retaining she was followed BY
William ST.. Shortly after the boys had
lett his house, Adam became fearful
that they might need assistance to get
home and started out after them. Adam
reached his fathers and upon inquiry
found that none Of the other brothers
mad returned. He Immediately started
ia search OF the paI ty aud while wading
through the snow some distance from
the house heard some one groan. Up
on investigating he found The mamma e
form Of his father stretched in the snow,
" where ne had fallen unable to proceed
farther. Raising him TO his back he sue
ceeded in reaching the house with hl5
burden, and while resusci'Rdng the old
gentleman, the young woman came in
minus her shoes that had been lost III
the drifts. She had gone as far IS posi-
ole, and was compelled TO crawl on
her hands and knees 10 regain the house.
She was almost exhausted and would
undoubtedly have persisted. The boys

the entire party was assured, bat it was
an extremely close call. In view Of the
fact that al no time could they have
