TIE new liquor law of Ohio, passed a few days ago, which goes under the name of the Dow Liquor Tax Act, provides that every dealer in intoxicating liquors shall be as- sessed yearly the sum of S20O; or, if only vlnous and malt liquors are sold, S100. The assessment is to constitute a lien upon the real property upon which the business is conducted. Assessors are re- quired to return to the County Auditors the names of persons engaged in the business, together with a verified statement as to the character of the liquor sold by them. Upon the refusal of any dealer to furnish the required ln- formation to the Assessor, hls as- sessment shall be increased to S400. If a false return of the kind of i- quor sold is made, fine of $50 is imposed. The sale of liquors to minors or habitual drunkards is prohibited under a fine of from S25 to S1O0, and an imprisonment of from five to thirty days.

JUDGE W. H. Barnes, of this Judicial District, has been con firmed by the United States Senate. The news was received here and the Judge was the recipient of many congratulations.

Members of the bar, not only in Cochise County, but in Pima and Graham as well, are loud in their praise of Judge Barnes for his fairness and impartiality while on the bench and the promptitude and correct ness of his rulings. The many manifestations of pleasure over his confirmation is a fiattering testimonial of the regard and es- teem in which he is held by this community.-Tombstone Demo crat.

TIE continued depredations of the Apaches in Arizona seem to show that Geronimo has not yet found out that Gen. Crook has been relieved. In fact, the testi- mony upon that point is so slight that anybody might be excused for thinking that he is still in com mand out there. Gen. Miles will have to move little faster if he expects to sustain his reputation as first-class Indion fighter St. Louis Globe Democrat.
 We are inclined to think that the Globe Democrat is somewhat of in this matter. Gen. Miles is doing all that a man can do to kill or capture the hostiles, at any rate, his actions so far meet with the approval of the people directly interested and outsiders have no kick coming.
