AcrUATED by purelv partizan

AcTUATED by purely partizan mo- lives, the Senate of the United States, in which there is a small Re- publican majority, rejected 9 treaty, framed with care and caution by a commission representing Great Britain and our government. If the treaty had been ratified. the vexed question of fisheries would, for a long time, have been settled and the interests of American fish ermen we'll protected. After the rejection of the proposed treaty the Presidents message came, and it fell upon the ears of Republican Senators likes a peal of thunder from a cloudless sky-like the sound of a fire-bell in the stiffness of the night. Retaliation, as suggested by the President, is sensible and patriotic, and if such legislation as is demanded is not had, the admin istration is not to be censured.

MR. EDIToR-I read with much pleasure the letter in the last HER AID from Snowflake, signed "One of the People" and as the writer expressed a desire 10 hear the sen timents of the people from other parts of the county. l take the liberty of addressing a few lines to the HERALD, to let you know what some of us at Winslow think should be done in the coming election. l will start out, Mir. Editor, by say ing that 1 am Democrat and have always belonged to that party since 1 cast my first vote for Franklin Pierce. and 1 do hope that the time will never come when I, or any of my kind, will ever vote for any but the Democratic ticket, provided we have chance to vote a strai ght ticket. I am told that our party has majority in this county, and that if we put a good ticket in the field, that we can fill all our offices with good, honest, simon pare Dem ocrats. Why then should we not follow the example set by all of tie other counties in Arizona, and draw party lines, and stand or fall by our principles? In my opinion the time for mongrel or mixed tickets has played out. Policy is some times good, but principle is always better.
 Don't you remember that four years ago, when everybody knew that the Democratic party was the strongest in Apache county, that a convention in St. Johns, composed largely of Democrats, nominated an independen ticket, and sent two Republicans to the 18th Legisla- ture. Those representatives were supposed to leave their political preferences at home, and yet one of them, when he got to Prescott, be- came a violent partisan, and helped the "dead lock" i'll that notorious and infamous legislative assembly.
 The best way to get good men elected to office is to have candi- dates nominated by political con vcntions and then, as your core spondent said last week, the party will be held responsible for the nominees. 1 have talked to a good many around here, and all the Dem ocrats seem to be in favor of con- vention of Democrats which should put a full ticket before the people.
 I would rather be defeated on principle than elected on policy. l am not a candidate for office, never have been and never expect to be, but I am 4 DEMOCRAT.

A JOINT canvass has been ar ranged between Governor Robert Taylor, the democratic, and Mir. Hawkins, the republican candi- date tor governor of Tennessee. The New York Sun thinks that Mir.

SINCE the adoption of our Re vised Statutes, there has been some doubt expressed as to whether a member of the Board of Supervi- sors elected at the last general elec- ton, and whose term of office un- der the law, as 1t then stood, was for four years, could legally hold the office for the full term, or wheth- CT an entirely new Board should be elected at the ensuing election. The opinion of Attorney General John 4. Rush was asked on the matter, and he holds that members of the Board of the Supervisors hold office for the full term, as fixed by law at the time of their election, and that in counties where there is a hold over, but two members of the Board should he elected. Such being the case Supervisor David Rope con tinues in office for two years and will be chairman and of the two Su- pervisors 10 be elected the one who receives the largest number of votes, will be the unfortunate Supervisor who serves four years-the last two as chairman.

An Indian was arrested Thursday by Deputy Hammond, upon com plaint O. Mir. Henerson,who charges the prisoner and his squaw with pursuing Hendcrson's children, and threatening to do them bodily injury with knives. The Hender- son family were moving from the fat south of town, where they have lived for some weeks, and in the absence of the adult members f.the family the Indians have atten p ed to steal their household effects. but were frustrated by the children, which led to the assault. The In dian will probably be tried before Justice Atkins, and if the evidence against him warrants it he should Ee held to await the action of the grand jury.

It IS THERE.
The Corner Stone Of the Trege
County Court House.
Large Attendance, Impressive Ger
emonies, Etc.

Saturday, June 2, 1883, was a day II
Wa-Keeney long to be remembered. Al
2 O'Clock, the hour when the ceremonies
of the laying Of the court house corner
stone were begun, the Free Masons, IN
regalia, marched from their hall into the
court house park. As the Masons
marched, the Wa-Keeney Comet Band
played. A crowd of Trego county peo-
pie, whose number we will estimate at
five hundred, was present.
Ex-County Clerk George Pinkham, in
clear voice, read the Epitome OF the
History of Trego County. The reading
was listened to with the closest possible
attention, the hearers being unaware
that they would soon be permitted to Pc
ruse at leisure the same document in this
World.
The laying of the corner stone, with
the impressive ceremonies of the Masonic
order, with Captain Hanna as ceremonial
master, came next. In the small vault in
the corner stone were deposited:
A copy of the Western Kansas
World, containing the Epitome of the
History of Trego County.
A copy of the Trego County Republican.
A copy of the Wa-6eeney Tribune.
A photograph of the foundation of the
court house.
The corner stone is a massive piece of
hard rock. The face of the stone. as it
now stands in the building, is 3 feet and
8 inches wide and feet and AZ inches in
length. The surface upon which the in
scriptions stand is surrounded by large
ridge on the outside with a small one in
side, the two presenting the appearance
of picture frame. The corner stone is
in the west side of the southwest corner
of the building. the lower end being
about five feet above the ground. The
inscriptions, with the exception of being
in larger letters, are well represented in
this illustration:

Ihere Is no nobler, worthier class of men

Wilderness or the treeless plains from

Kansas and Kansas people have
made history more rapidly, and more
OF II. than any other country or people on
earth. Born into the family of states at
tune when the nation was writhing and
qulvering in almost mortal commissions,
In the early but dark days of the most
stupendous civil war known to history,
Its subsequent progress has been sue
ceesaon OF surprises, rapidly and continu-
ously repeated, and for which history
furnishes no parallel. We know what
Kansas has been, we realize what it is
now; but no tongue or pen can portray
what it will be. 1t needs not prophet
or the SOD of prophet to foretell that its
future progress will be onward and up
ward, until it reaches front position In
the column of states, with respect to pop
ulation, productiveness, wealth, enter
prise and intelligence; but no sage or
seer is wise enough to make even an ap-
proximate calculation of its future posi-
bilities, or estimate the full measure of
greatness it is destined to attain. We
are, as we ought to be, proud of our state,
and of the great nation of which it is now,
and always will be, so important fac
tor-the greatest, the most powerful and
the most prosperous nation that exists,
or ever has existed on the face of the
globe.
