that so far as his observation goes, the

Acts Of outlawry under the guise of
protection to the community can not but
be sorely deprecated at any time and any
where, but it can not bedenied that such
acts are often rendered seemingly iusti-
fable by the remisSness of officers of
the law in the discharge Of their plain
duty. Ii may be that too much is ex-
pected of civil officers at times-some
people have a notion that to invest a
person with Office and legal authority at
once places him in position to know all
that is going on and confers upon him
power to prevent crimes. But while.this
Is not literally true it must be allowed
that civil officers are not always as vigi-
liant and prompt as they should be.
Local disturbances. whether in Penn
sylvania, Ohio. Indiana Missouri. Ar
kansas or Texas, are in most cases the
result of official dereliction. and this in
turn is but the reflex of the popular
sentiment of the community in which
such troubles occur. These observations
are suggested by recent occurrences in
the states named, and the list might be
extended. There Is no state but that

Another important point right here,

the duties of the London police are

i Malicious Attack.

The Albuquerque Democrat pub
lished an attack upon Chief Justice
Wright, of Arizona, which for ma
licious mendacity is rarely equal
ed. A railroad attorney by the name
of E. NJ. Sanford was defending
Judge Morrison, of Apache county,
in libel suit before Judge Wright,
and during Sanfords address to the
jury he grossly insulted the court
by stating in emphatic terms that
the defendant would be compelled
to appeal his case to the supreme
court of the United States to get the
law" and with a few more such I'm
professional remarks Immediately
left the court room. Judge Wright
should have in justice to himself
and the court, imposed q fine on
the man, but he did not, but in a
conversation with Mr.. Sanford sub
sequently told him a few plain
truths, not as a Judge but as pri-
vate citizen, and from this the rail-
road attorney had it wired broad
cast over the land that Arizona's
Chief Justice adjourned court to
thrash lawyer, etc. Judge Wright
some months since had occasionto
pass upon a very important suit, in
which the Atlantic & Pacific rail-
roads were the defendants, and the
Judge in one of the clearest and
most logical decisions ever emana-
ting from the bench of Arizona, de-
cided against the railroad and in
favor of the country. Judge Wright
did as any other incorruptible judge
would have done-decided the case
according to law and justice. And
for this righteous decision the eter-
nal i'll will of the railroad, who
boasted that "no man should re-
main upon the bench in Arizona
and decide against their railroad"
And it will be observed that this
railroad attorney took this despic-
able method TO cast reflections on
Judge Wright. The abuse of the
railroad strikers only endears the
fearless judge to the people of Ari-
zona who recognize in the person
of Judge Wright one of the most
sterling and able judges that has
ever occupied a position upon the
bench in this territory. Because
Judge in the pursuit of his duties
on the bench, dares to decide q
case adversely to this corporation,
he must, for sooth be removed?
These paragons of power will as
certain that they are dealing with a
different material in their attempts
to bride the judicial powers of the
country, when they lock horns
with the present administration.
The people of Arizona endorse the
honest, manly decision of Judge
Wright and the monied influence of
this soulless railroad will fail In
their attempt to either blacken
his character or remove him from
The bench he occupies with dignity
and ability.-Phenix Gazetts.
