The Phoenix Gazette is in favor of amending the fee bill, to the ex- tent, at least, of making the Pro- bate Judges office one ot respecta- biIity, as 1t is unfair to assume that a man can give his time to the county for the meagrc sum of $500 a year.

THE government directors of the Union Pacific Railroad are unnec- essarily alarmed. We think the government could not do better thing than to buy up all the rail roaps. The time is fast approach ing when the government will be compelled to run the railroads, or the railroads will run the govern ment.

TIE President in his message makes the most forciblc argument against the protective policy that can possibly be made. He opposes it on high moral grounds, as a sys- tenn of public decentralization ahd debauchery and his statements of the case are worth, in our opinion more than ali the chatter of the college professors and organs and arithmeticians about the taX-your- self-rich business, and so on and so forth, tbat has been dinncd into the ears of the public, not merely during the last year, but for the last twenty-five years or more. The ar gument oI the President, to reduce t within the compass of a few words, to 1t essentials, is that the policy of protection cultivates a habit of mind which induces the individual citizen to regard the Government as the fountain of in dustrial and private aid, rather than to rely upon his own manly pluck to enable him to make his way in the world-PhiIadelphia Tele ,rrc1,h

THE Review is right in saying that local politics had nothing to do with finding indictments against some of our most respectable citi- zens at Prescott. during the recent session of the United States Dis trict Court. It was simon-pure cussedness; contemptible envy and jealousy; base ingratitud"; low down, underhanded scheming and intriguing-all of which will be shown on trial. There is no more show of conyicting any of the par ties indicted from Apache county, than there is of any of the gang connected with the Review obtain ing a seat on the right hand of the Lord on the final judgment day.

 WE invite the attention of our incoming legislature to the follow ing pertinent suggestions clipped from the Albuquerque Democrat What applies to New Mexico ap- plies with equal force to Arizona:
 "It must be acknowledged that newspapers and railroads are the two great factors in the develop ment of any Territory or State. One is absolutely no greater than the other.
 Railroads are voted subsidies without end to secure their build ing, and after they are built, are backed up by act of legislation ar bitrarily in their favor.
 On the other hand, the newspa- pers is expected to work with it's full force and at its own expense, to advertise all the resources, real or imaginary, of the State or Territory where 1t has embarkedin business, and where the success of rapid de- yelopment and settlement of grow ing wealth and advancing enter prise, so much depend.
 At least one State in the union has recognized the work ofthe news papers in this direction and done some little in the way ofrecompense. That State is Minnesota, and in her session laws she makes it necessary that every law passed by her legis- lature must be published in full in every regularly published newspa- per within her borders, and pays for such publications at rate fair ly remunerative for the work.
 And the assistance thus given to, newspapers is not the only good re- suit of such a law, for 1t places copies of the session laws within the household of every newspaper subscriber, while they are now through force of necessity, totally ignorant of the acts passed by the men they vote for to represent them in many cases, while ig still others they are but poorly informed.
 The newspapers Of the Territory should unite in placing ttis matter before the incoming legislature, and in urging the passage ofsuch Gn act. Such a law at the present time would be just and right, and should meet the appreciation of both the people and the press"

ANOTHER OUTRAGE IN
WILKES COUNTY,

Miss EstelIa Jordon a very estim
able young colored lady who was en-
gagged in teaching in Wilkes county
was called out from her home about
midnight by.a band Of masked white
men and Was ordered to leave the
county in a hours. The only Of
fence seemed to have been commit
ed was that the young lady was
teaching a colored school, Miss
JordOn is about seventeen year of
age, and is graduate of the Allan
ia University, and those who are
personally acquainted with her, sa y
that she is as pure and virtuous as
any woman In Georgia. The co..
ored men Of Wilkes should have
come to the rescue of this lady and
teach these ruffians q lesson that
the white men of Wilkes would
not have soon forgotten

NOT TRUE.

AN ordinary looking white man
made the assertion Friday evening
on the street car, that the Negroes
were praying for the. yellow fevor
to reach Savannah"
Why any man with anv degree
of Intelligence should make such
abase and malicious assertion, we
are at loss to understand. The
fact proves to the contrary that 10
possible means could exist for any
one to offer up such prayers.
The interest of the colored man
in the health and prosperity of our
city is identical with any,other class
When business is prosperous they
certainly get portion of the labor
when business is prostrated-which
would be the case if the fever
reaches this city-they will suffer
the consequences as equally az any
other class of our citizens. Com
mon sense along with self perserva-
ton would dictate that thay could
offer up no such wishes, The TRI-
BUNE as the organ of the colored
race denounces in emphatic terms
the falsity of Of all such statements,
We also believe that the good
and we'll thinking class of our
white citizens will agree with us in
mailing such base lies 10 the wall.

THE city authorities in coniunc-
with the sanitary board are using
every effort to put the city in a
safe and healthy condition. Every
precaution necessary is used 10
guard againts the importation of
The dreaded disease into our city.
All classes of our citizens should
vie with each other and assist the
authorities to avoid the great calam
ity that would befall US if the fever
should reach our city. So far we
are all right, but due diligence on
each and every person in keeping
their places in good and healthy
order, will more fully assures Of our
perfect safety.
