TIE annual report of Governor zul-

TIE annual report of Governor Zul- ick to the Secretary of the Interior is good document in every respect, and it speaks very truthful words up on the present condition and future prospects of the territory. The in- creased population shows steady and healthful growth and its future is now assured. Life and property are safe, and law and order supreme. Taxable property has increased in sstisfac- tory ratio; taxes are being gradually lowered and all public securities are sought after by investors at low rates. During the year 295,S4l acres of new land were entered, upon which $132,- S04 were paid The need of more thorough railroad system is discussed and the popular error of the past that Arizona was but barren desert, over run with venomous reptiles and Apa- che Indians is fast being dispelled and it's great possibilities are being admit ted. The ancient system of water ways is referred to and the rich agri- cultural lands of the valleys are de- picted as needing but the construction oi canals and reservoirs to make them bright with growing crops. The vari- ous irrigaiing canals are referred to and testimony is given of the wonder ful possibilities oi the soil under a proper distribution of the water. Fruit culture is treated as the coming in- dustry of the southern portion of the territory, and the wide range of pro- duct and early seasons are given prom thence. The subject of water storage and the action of Congress in appro- priating money for this purpose, is highly commended the stock and mining industries are briefly touched upon and the subject of education is given proper consideration. It is re commended that the clercial force oI the Legislative Assembly be increased and the pay of legislators advanced As whole it is an able and valuable document that ought to be productive of much good for Arizona.

IN view of the probability of the division of California into two states, bill for which purpose has already been introduced in Congress by Gene ral Vandever, the Alta semi-seriously advocates the absorption of Arizona by southern California, under the name of Arizona as the new state to be created. To this proposition the people of this territory will seriously object, upon the grounds that the area now embraced in this political sub division constitutes a homogeneous territory that will eventually become one of the grandest states of the un- ion. Southern California, in event oi a consolidation, would possess all the political power, and Arizona proper would be heavily taxed for the aggran. dizement of remote district that ha: never exhibited the least friendlinesi towards this territory. Arizona res pectfully but firmly declines this sort of wedlock with the "semi-tropic" bell, who would at once assume to "rult the roost."

THE Prescott newspapers are evi- dently alarmed at the prospective re- moval of the capital, and already they talk loudly of a corruption fund" raised in Phenix to secure its removal. Admitting for the sake of argument, that this is true, how in the name of reason can Prescott object to the use of the same tactics that it employed in securing that prize in 1S762 It is a notorious fact that the capital was removed from Tucson to Prescott by the most open and revolting bribery, and we should remember the proverb that "he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword" The removal of the capital is of very little interest to the people of Pinal county and they sin cerely regret that the question is to become an important factor in the legislation of the coming session and be held as lash over members who really desire to secure honeset legisla- tion for the benefit of their constit- uents; but the holy horror simulated by the Prescott people over the means, corrupt though they be, alleged to be in preparation for that purpose, is enough to upset the gravity of a church deacon. If the possession of the capital is to work such a detriment to proper legislation and the morals of the members of the legislature, it had better be placed upon wheels and trundled from one town to another at stated intervals that all may taste ol it's gilded sinfulness and feel its in. huence for evil.

A Cashier Killed.

SAN BERNARDINo, Dec. 13-Soon af- ter the National Bank opened this morning two strangers from Arizon a. entered and one presented a check and asked it be cashed. E. H. Morse, cashier, told him he would have to be identified. Words followed and the Arizonan shot Morse through the' body. Morse returned the fire, put ting two bullets into his sssailant. Six or seven shots were fired when the strangers ran but were arrested and lodged in jail. It is thought Morse and his assailant will both die. One shot struck c. W. Felkins, of Riy- erside, who was in the bank, but his watch saved his life. It is believed the men entered the bank with the design of robbery.
 Cashier Morse died half an hour after the shooting. The man who did the shooting gives the name of John Oakes but refuses to talk It is said that third man who was not arrest ed was seen trying side door of the bank while the shooting WAS going on. Oakes was shot in the arm, ear and back but it is believed none of the wounds are serious.
 Later investigation shows that Oakes has lived here a month working for the railroad Nine shots were ex- changed before Morse fell. Oakes has letters showing he has recently been in an insane asylum in Nevada. The man who went to the bank with him was deputy sheriff from Arizona. In tense excitement prevails here over the affair as Morse was very popular. He leaves wife, three children. and and aged mother and brother. There was some talk of lynching but the law will probably take its course aE the doctors have pronounced Oakes insane at the time of the shooting.

AN era of rich mining strikes and new discoveries seems to have dawned upon the western country and good news of this character is heralded from all portions of the mining sctions. In Arizona the past few months have revealed treasures of value undream- ed of and this seems to be a specially favored land in this respect. There is hardly mining district in the terri tory that has been thoroughly pros pected and many of the richest mines are still unrevealed to mankind. The mining industry is one of great promise and the application of capital and in telligently directed energy will bring into prominence some of the greatest mines yet discovered, within this terri tory. And still there remains a broad field for the prospector's search, with even chances that he discovers de- posits of precious metals that are fully equal to any yet developed. In thi, new era of rich discoveries there is hope for great revival in the mining industry in the territory.

Accidental Death.

Through the courtesy of A. B Shearer, manager of the Phenix tele- graph office, the reporter is informed that Major E. J, Spaulding, of the Fourth Cavalry and commander at Ft. Mcdowell, met his death through the accidental discharge of his own gun, this afternoon.
 No particulars have been received, other than that the major was out with hunting party, ten or twelve miles from the post, when his gun was accidentally discharged, and death re- suited almost instantly.
 Major Spaulding has very good record. He was not "West Point CT" In 1857 he enlisted in the army of the United States as a private. He went through the war, being appoint ed, in April 1862, as second lieutenant of the second cavalry, and in 1863 was promoted to first lieutenant. He kept working his way up, and in 1867 was appointed captain of the second caval- ". By natural promotion he reached a place as major Of the fourth cavalry in 1886.
 Major Spaulding was man Of large heart, and was generally beloved by all who were acquainted with him. To his bereaved widow we extend our condolence. It is understood that his remains will be shipped to Michigan for inter1nent.-Phenix Arizonan.

ONE stage robber has been meted out the lawful penalty of his crimes in this county and it is greatly to be hoped that all others engaged in the profession" may speedily follow in his footsteps. At the time of the commission of the crime and capture of the guilty party there was strong talk of lynching him, but a better judgment prevailed and the law was permitted to take it's course, which in this instance promptly and impartial ly asserted its dignity. Could the people feel assured that the laws pen alties would be as faithfully adminis- tered when great crimes are commit ted, there would be very little exercise of mob law indulged in.

New StyIe ofVoting.

Wisconsin seems to have adopted the voting tactics in vogue in Canada, to judge from the following from the Milwaukee Sentinel It says:
 When voting is secret there is an end to the bribery of voters. Under the Milwaukee system the voter en- ters alone, room in which the tick cts of the parties are placed. He makes his selection and passes into another room where he votes. Only the inspectors are able to tell from the difference in the appearance of the different ballots, how he has voted There is no use in bribing voters when the scoundrel who pays the money is unable to see what ticket the voter hands in. Secrecy in voting prevents bribery. It is by making the voting secret that England has de- stroyed bribery. Only one thing more is needed to make the Milwaukee sys- tenn perfect-the Australian plan of having the state print the ballots.

BLooMING GROVE, TEX, April 10
Very few particulars could be learned
concerning the HYler-Hill shooting hffray
telcgrsphed yesterday farther than that
Hyler had cut some timber for Hill and
they had 8 quarrel ever the settlement
for the sane. Hyler approached Hill
where he WAS standing with some other
parties and emptied his gun at Hill. Part
OF the first load took effect in HILLS hip
and side. Oae shot entered his elbow,
another went through the feshy part OF
his arm. It is thought he was not struck
with more than two shots, but with the
second barrel one shot entered
above the hip and ranged up
wards, which the physicians failed to
fad. There is little hope OF Hill's
recovery. Kyler's whereabouts are still
unknown.
On the night of the ooh three horses
belonging to B. J. Williamson, living
three miles south of here, were stolen;
one bsy horEe branded c on the jan, right

The Latest Style of Dressing the Hair 10
wear 1t Btgh.
Correspondence of the Gazette,
WASHINGTON, April l0.-The art OF
hair-dressing is largely on the increase in
Washington, and every perruquier does q
thriving business here. There are no
less than twenty establishments devoted
entirely to the art Of making perukes, and
OF dressing the hair Of prominent society
leaders. Said one of these lady hair
dressers TO me recently, in speaking on
this subject:
"Mrs. Cleveland never wears her hair
In the purely Gcecian style. although this
method would be most becoming to her
She wears something pear it, but not
quite the Psyche knot. In fact the per-
feet Psyche knot is scarcely worn st all
by any one. 1t is very trying fashion,
and few have features sufficiently regular
for it. Those who do wear 1t insist upon
bangs, and other changes to make It
adaptable to their features. The most
popular style Of dressing the hair this
season is to wear 1t high"
The finest suit of hair in Washington at
the present time is said to be that o. Mrs,
OF Virgins. Her hair reaches the hnor,
although she is an unusually tall WOMAN.
In color it is rich brown, and she places
herself in the hands Of the hsir-dresser
every day. Congressman Campbell'f
wife, OF Ohio, has Iuxurisnce OF superb
hair Mrs. Carlisle has thick suit OF
auburn hsir, which ehe always hiss arti
fcisllY arranged by professional
hsir dresser. Mrs. Senator Eustis,
Mrs. Senator Farwtu, and the
wife and daughter OF Congressman White
OF Brooklyn are sill regular attendants q,
the fashionable hair establishments. A
small fortune is spent here in hair dress
ing every season. The bills for this linl
item alone amount to from $50 to $50
per month, per person, according to the
number Of times the hair is dressed. This
is but one of the little (O items OF fash
ionable expense incurred by those Sin
the socisl SWIM" but the current seems
to be running sW;fter each yesr, and
launches numerous fresh devotees with
the turn OF the annual tide.
