the following suggestion of a plat
form and a candidate for the Re
publicans:
'T.et US build our own platform
without help or interference from
Mr.. Cleveland Let Us favor a wise
revision Of the tariff but consist

protection Of American industries,
but let ny not ignore other questions
equally vital. Let us engage to
protect the laboring classes from
American sharks as well rs from
English pau ers. Let US insist that
trusts and monopoies are the stand
i,g menace Of American liberty.
Let H. not close our eyes to the fact
that our sea coast and lake cities are
absolutely defenseless, an easy and
tempting prey To any spiteful third
rate power. And above all let us
give prominence 10 the astounding
fact that the organic law Of this
Republic is s,ll trampled under
foot throughout large part of our
domain. To admit at such a time
that the tariff is The one issue, il TO
desert that large body of American
citizens who are systematically dis

polical rights. Such a desertion
would involve both treachery and
cowardice ard would rise to the

SOME Of the Californians are in
favor of adopting the abbreyiation
"CaIif.," instead Of Cal" for the

A schoolmistress in Maine being
poor, was content to sport lover
who was not rich himself, though
he was given to speculation in a
small way. To show his good will,
he invested a few dollars a few
years in some one or two townships
of California desert lands, and
made q deed of the same to his
lady love. A boom came and the
lady sold her land for $256,OOO, and
she Immediately sent the sack to
the young man, saying she did not
wish to marry a more fortune hun
ter. She suspected that the young
man loved her for her wealth only.

his punishment has been at all COM
mensurate with his crime. He was
tried and convicted on one of the
gravest charges known to the GRIM
inal law-that of forgery and a
mutilation of the public records.
His Imprisonment may work a
hardship on his family-if it does,
Barth, and not the law or the peo-
pie of this county, is responsible
for such hardship. He is not an
ignorant man-knew he was vio-
lating the law, when he was raising
county warrants and selling them
to innocent parties-knew the con-
sequences of his crimes in case of
detection, and knowing it, took his
chances and lost. If criminals are
to be pardoned simply because their
punishment affects others, we had
better close our courts, and save the
people the expense of running
them. To pardon a man under a
ten years sentence at the expira-
ton of ten months would be an in
centive to crime, rather than other
wise. Those who are disposed in
that direction, whose natural in
clinatioHs tend to lawlessness would
be encouraged by the hope that in
a few months their friends would
be able to obtain their pardon, and
thus conviction and Imprisonment
would be shorn of more than half
its terrors. Gov. Zulick, before he
signs pardon for Sol Barth, would
do we'll to ascertain the sentiments
and wishes of the law abiding peo-
pie Of this county in regard to the
matter.
The St. Johns herald. (St. Johns, Apache County, Arizona Territory [Ariz.]) 1885-1903, 1888-05-31

Advices from Texas say large
numbers of cattle are dying in the
northwest part Of Cook and tie
eastern part of Montague counties
from a plague which broke out re-
Gently. The animals throat swells,
choking it to death i'll few hours
after being attacked. AS yet pleuro-
pneumonia racket-workers have not
laid claim to this case. They prob
ably have not heard Of it. To them
a report like this would be fruit.
Everything in the way of ailments

For the benefit of the st. Johns
Herald CD We will state that an at
tempt was made before the last
grand jury, in Apache county, to
indict E. w. Nelson, County ke-
corder, not for malfeasance in office,
but for libel. But Notwithstanding
the most extraordinary efforts in
this direction the scheme failed,
Nelson being known to the jury as
too good and too honorable a man
to be guilty of wrong doing. To
speak the truth, even in Apache
county, is not considered an indict-
able crime. His reputation as an
official and a man may be envied
by the Photographer in the HERALD.
but it cannot be impeached.-Tuc-
son Citizen.
Again we repeat-how do you
know? We were here, and if the
leaks from the grand jury had been
large enough to reach Tucson, sure
ly we would have learned some
thing of it. We have never heard
any suggestion that Mr.. Nelson IL
beled any body. In fact, we think
Mr.. Nelson is too discreet a person
to be guilty of any such folly. We
do not believe that the conduct of
Mr.. Nelson was investigated by the
grand jury, either as an official or
individual, and this repeated effort
of the Citizen strikes us as a mis-
cradle attempt to cast reflections
upon one OF the officials of Apache
county, without any basis, save the
imaginings of its own disordered
brain, urged on, possibly, by some
personal grudge. In any event,
the truth is due to Mr.. Nelson and
his friends, and if we mistake not,
some of these knowing newspaper
outsiders will be furnished the OPP
portunity to inform the next grand
Jury of the source of their inform
alton. Our original proposition
will remain open for thirty days
$50 to $25 that no effort was made
before the last grand jury to indict
our fellow-townsman, E. w. Nell
son, County Recorder.
