Whether or not Arizona, and the
West generally for that matter, says
Hoof and Horn, can dress the beefit
produces and sell it at a living rate
direct to the consumer without first
sending it through the hand of Ar
mour, Morris and the other dressed
beef magnates of Chicago, is the is-
sue that is being fast forced on the
stockmen of the West. Whether OF
not it end in. discontinue to the
old ring that has grown rich by run
ming the cattle business to suit
themselves, will depend entirely on
the stockmen and their ability to
unite and organize dressed meat
concerns throughout the West,
which will be under their own
management and control.

all Aboard.

The Democratic train will soon be
ready to start, and all Arizonians
who love their country, the party
and its correct principles, are invi-
ted to board it. 1t will start on a
winning trip. No doubt ofthis. The
people have been trying the old par
ty off and on for one hundred years
or more and found it a very safe
conveyance. Its engineers have,
at times, made some mistakes; but
"they were mistakes of the head,
not of the heart" It's chief engi-
neer, Grover Cleveland, is a man of
the people. He is not an extreme
partisan; if he drinks at all, he
mixes little mugwump tea with
the regulation Bourbon, and so
keeps his massive head clear. His
administration has curtailed ex-
penses, restored prosperity, broth
erly love and sisterlv affection :
made foreign potentates respect
our flag and citizens. Under it We
are fast getting back our old posi-
ton on the high seas great corpor-
ations have learned that they don't
quite own the country; confidence
is restored the worst opponents of
the Democracy are unable to sue
cessfully criticize its acts and their
results, so we say to all disappoint-
ed prospectors for office, curb your
angry passions roll up your sleeves
and go to work like Americans for
the party of Retrenchment and Re-
form the party of the constitution,
the party that has buried all other
parties.-Prescott Courier.

Public officers.

A public othce is a puOllc trust.
Our officers, theoretically at least,
under our system, are public SER
wants. They come from the peo-
pie, and to the people are respon-
sible for their public conduct.
Whenever they do well, they should
receive commendation-when they
do i'll, they merit condemnation
when they do not all, are negligent,
or Indifferent, or Ignorant, they are
entitled to an opportunity to ex-
plain. The HERALD will always be
ready to raise its voice in praise OF
the faithful official--equally prompt
to utter its disapproval of the faith
less, and deems it part of its duty
to call for explanation when it sus-
poets negligence, or Indifference to
the public trust.
Paragraph 2679 of the Revised
/ Statutes of Arizona for 1887 reads
as follows:
"The Probate Judge must require
every administrator and executor
to pay out of the funds of the es-
tate, all taxes due from such estate !;
and no order or decree for the dis
tribution of any property of any
decedent among the heirs or de-
visees must be made until all taxes
against the estate are paid"
The intention of the legislature
evidently was, to make it the duty
of the Probate Judge, who is the
general executor and administrator
of the estates of all deceased per-
sons who have property in the coun-
ty, to see to it, that his fiduciary
officers discharged their trusts
paid the taxes upon the property
entrusted to their care as they be-
come due, and thus, save to their
estates all penalties and costs, keep
their property unclouded by liens
so as that when the time come for
distribution, the property could be
sold without trouble or delay. An
other reason, possibly the best rea-
son, for this provision is, to pre-
vent faithless administrators and
executors from robbing minors and
widows, vino cannot protect them
selves, by permitting the estate
property to be sold for taxes, and
themselves, through agents, later
on, becoming the owner of it, by
payment of taxes. In other words,
violate their own solemn trusts and
plumber the dead mans heirs.
1t is made the duty of the Pro-
bate Judge to prevent this. He is
clothed with ample power to dis
charge this sacred and responsible
trust of his official position.
Among the delinquents for last
year, were the estates of Arnold
Hugle and Morris Barth-both am
ply able to pay the taxes; the form
er having paid debts running up to
81 900 during the year; the other
receiving a monthly income of not
less than $50 from houses rented at
Holhrook. Now, three questions
for the Hon. Probate Judge to an
swer, or cause his administrators to
answer, under the paragraph quoted ::

Pauper and Criminal Immigrants in
This Country.

PITTsBURG, Penn, Dec. 21.-The con-
gressional immigration investigation COM
mittee began its session here today.
The committee was represented by Con-
gressmen NJ H. Ford of Michigan, chairman
of the committee, and Richard Guenther of
Wisconsin. During the morning. Robert G.
Elliott, chief of the bureau of charities.
Judge William Ramsey, former chairman Of
the poor board, and George Hoffman, exami-
ner of the department of charity, were
examined Chief Elliot said that insane
people and decrepit and ignorant class of
people applied for relief to great extent
who should never have been admitted into
the country. III 2 recited % cases, some of
them criminal, of people who had come here
from foreign countries against the provisions
of the law. One case was that of an English
man who had killed a British officer
Another was that of an English woman who
had been brought here by her betrayer and
abandoned.
had served at Blackwells Island, and after
leaving there had been shipped from Castle
Garden to Pittsburg, and after baing taken
to the poor farm stolen goods were found in
his possession. He then admitted that he
had been a thief before he came to this
country.
The city institutions, he said, were crowd
ed to overfiowing, and il it were not for
the foreigners, who are not entitled to land
here chiefly through Castle Garden, there
would be plenty Of -oom for the care of
those who were justly entitled TO it. Judge
Ramsey's testimony was a corroboration of
Mr.. Elliotts. Examiner Hoffman said he
had seen immigrants with brands of
foreign workhouse ticketed to different sec
tions of the country, and that the immigrants
had applied to the bureau of charity for re-
lief, the day after arrival at Castle Garden.
The afternoon session was devoted to the
taking of testimony regarding the importa-
tion of contract labor. The witnesses were
prominent officers of labor organizations, and
their evidence showed that men came to
this country under contract in many cases to
work against skilled laborers. Men EN-
ployed on the pipe lines and railroads here
abouts were mostly Hungarians, Italians
and Swedes. A Pennsylvania railroad Of
fetal was quoted to the effect that about 30
immigrants came here every week, in the
spring and summer These importations de-
creased the value of labor. Blackstone cut
ters come over from Wales and Scotland in
| the spring, returning in the fall, and never
| become American citizens. Twenty years
| work ON the railroads. They were citizens.
| Italians. Hungarians and Swedes do not be-.
come citizens. They have no family ties and
| live like hogs. An American workman can
| not compete with them as they do not know
| what days work Is and are imposed on by

| low as 70 cents day. A large number of
| American workingmen are trampiLg. Wit
ness said he had an affidavit from a work

leaves for Detroit in the morning.
