THE "KICKER" MAN.
Editorial Life in the Far West
Has Its Ups and Downs.

We take the following, says the De-
troit Free Press, from the last issue of
the Arizona Kicker: "Apologetical-
We hope our readers will excuse the
typographical appearance of the inside
pages of the Kicker this week. We
were working them off as usual
Wednesday, having Joe, the Digger
Indian, as roller-boy, when Judge
ShackawackSen made us a call and
jumped on our collar. Greatly to our
surprise we picked the judge up and
mopped him all over the Office and flung
him outdoors. His boot heels, hind
buttons, spectacles and tobacco box
flew about and alighted on the forms.
and in our excitement we failed to
notice them.
"The big hole in our editorial on the
tariff was caused by boot heel. The
blur on the poem entitled when Baby
Wakes Again was caused by two hind
buttons. Such society items as are I'M
readable owe their present state to the
judges speetacles. We hope it won't
occur again.

prominently mentioned in connection
with the United States senatOrship from

feel to step high, we must beg our
friends to hold up.
sin the first place, we are too honest,
sober and conscientious.
I'm the second place, we are needed
at home. We propose to run about 10,-
600 human coyotes Oat of this territory
during the next twelve months, and put
1000 others behind prison bars.
while we feel tickled all over and
can hardly sleep nights we can't accept
the Office nor leave Arizona. just pass
the place along to some other man and
leave us to do our work"
"a Deceiver-We owe no grudge to
Col. Hastings because he once cuffed
our ears in the corridor of the town
hall. We had proved him liar,
swindler. and an absconder, and he had
to cuff tosave bis reputation. The colonel
sheriff and is promising in case he is
elected to secure our town
government appropriation of $780,,
600 to build a public build
ing. We are actuated only by
the kindest motives when we say that
the colonel is a blooming deceiver. He
can no more secure dollar from Uncle
Sam than we can borrow one of the
hinges from the gates of heaven. All
the influence he has in this world of
sin and sorrow is confined to the Red
Hot saloon and its crowd of reprObateS.
Do not be deceived in the caster-Oil
voice of the colonel"
IAN ExplanatiOn-The cause of the
Kicker in opposing the building of
bridge over Red Horse river, to connect
our town with Dutch Hill, is being
severely criticised by some of our clti-
,ha hot
to progress and improvements. Such is
far from being the case. Any open
bridge across the river would be an en-
couragement to suicides and accidents.
When a man gets drunk on Arizona
whisky he either wants to kill some one
or jump off bridge. There are fifty
men in town who would go over to
Dutch Hill, fill up, and fall off the
bridge coming back if it had railing
fifteen feet high.
''As to covered bridge it would at
once be taken possession of by all the
old soakers in town, who tried to get
home, and in month would be voted
public nuisance. While we just hOller
for progress and Improvement we can't
see our way clear on this bridge ques-
ton, and shall therefore oppose it until
we have change of heart"
"NOtice.-We have in our possession
about forty deeds and conveyances be-
longing to as many different parties,
which we picked up on the street last
night. They dropped from the coat-tail
pocket of our eStimable and efficient
register of deeds as he was vending his
way homeward at late hour.
In the East this would be called a
piece of great carelessness and the reg
lister would be expected to resign. Out
here in the glorious Westno Importance
is attached and the estimable register
takes all extra drink and pulls another
wire for denomination. And the worst
of 1t is that we owe genial Harry S14 in
cash and daren't go for him until it is
