The only paper in the territory that has endorsed Judge Barnes action in lining s. C. Bagg for contempt is the St. Johns Herald and it advises Judge Wright t" do the same thing. It says : "If Judge Wright would adopt the same measure, though more stringent than that which Judge Barnes has en- forced in Cochise, in Apache county, some of the ltinerant journalists would learn that a free press cannot be stretched into . cesspool of slander and vitupera- tion, as a means to intimidate and give vent to spleen." The above is not to be wondered at when it IS known that the paper publishing it seems to be publi he'd solely and exclusively in the the personal interests of an attorney of Apache county, its editorials being mostly written by the attorney himself. While, as heretofore stated, we have a high personal regard for all the members of the supreme bench of thls territory, but if they are to be looked upon as so immaculate that their official actions are not subjected to criticism then the sooner we know 1t the better.

As an evidence of the total disregard

As an evidence of the total disregard of the present administration for the mall facilities of this territory it is only necessary to cite to the copper camp at Jerome. Work was resumed there in March last, and application was made soon afterwards for direct mail service with Prescott. After usual de- lays, tor which the department is noted, notice for proposals for lettings for carrying the mail was posted in the post office to be received early in July. The proposals were received by Post master Head, and forwarded promptly to the department, since when nothing has been heard of them. Jerome has population of about I5o persons. The camp has been in active operation now for nearly six months, and although it is only twenty-eight miles from Prescott, it takes from four days to week for mail from here to reach that place, hay ing to make a circuitous route via Agua Fria and Camp Verde and then being dependent on a tri-weekly service to get through. The Arizona papers have worn the face off their type calling the attention of the department to the i'm perfect and execrabie mail service here, so that 1t is of no use to "kick." If it plesses the powers that be in Washing ton to open those bids for carrying the mall to Jerome and award a contract they will do so, probably.

q Tariff illustration.

MT. William Barbour. of the Barbour Flax Spinning company, has made a statement in regard to the growth of that company which shows very clearly what the effect of the tariff has been in his ex- perience.
 He says that his company was founded over 100 years ago in Lisburn. Ireland. From that town all the foreign trade was supplied until the American tariff law was enacted. Then it became necessary to establish factory in the United States. The Paterson, New Jersey, fac tory was the result, and it supplied the trade of this country. When Germany adopted tariff law it became necessary to establish factory in that country.
 The American factory gives employ ment to from I,5oo to I,8oo operatives and the German factory-which is not quite complete-will employ 500. The wages paid the a,Soo operatives employed in the Lisburn factory exceeds the amount paid the 1900 to 1,8eo employees Of the Paterson factory by only about $2so per week. The average wages paid each hand is a great deal more in the American than in the Irish factory.
 Not one of the operatives in the Irish factory owns the house he lives in but in Paterson many have bought and paid for comfortable homes. None of the Pat erson operatives wish to go to Ireland. but whenever MT. Barbour goes to Lis burn the employees come in crowds to him and beg that they may be given an opportunity to work in the American factory.
 If it were not for the tariff, either the Paterson factory would be closed or the wages of the operatives would be reduced so as to enable the concern to con- tinue with profit.
 In the face of fact like this working men ought not to hesitate long before concluding to vote with the party which protects American industries.

Surveyor General John Hise, with q

Surveyor General John Hise, with q great flourish of ink, in his report, casts an aspersion on the character of John Wasson, former incumbent ot the office. The latter calls the turn on Mir. Hise in communication to the Citizen, m which he says con the score of partisan malignity, the above may be excused and TO other wise
 No fair, intelligent gentleman would have made the last statement. The fsct is that two (a) claims embracing nearly half the area of all those pre- sented were declared forged and fraudu- lent and recommended for rejection 1; three-fourths of the large San Rafael de Ia 7anja was strongly recommended f. rejection, and large areas claimed II petitions for several other grants, were refused favorable recommendation
 The Arabac claimant wanted fully twice the amount recommended for Contirma- ton. The fact is that of the congregate area of claims presented for examination from 1869 to IS7, fully one-half was decidedly refused favorable recommen- dation.

Andrew Carnegie is again brought

Andrew Carnegie IS again brought into requisition this morning, as the basis for an an!i-tariff argument in which that very stale assertion IS made about his profits being $I.5oo,o ,ooo per annum. Of course the writer of the article IS to- intelligent to believe that assertion, ano simply quotes it, as, ''it is said" The writer Of the communication having been engaged in the manufacturing bus mess himself knows very well that a man would not close down his works rather than advance the wages of bis workmen 10 per cent if he were making a profit Of $I ,5oo, 900 per annum. That would be 'cutting hls nose off to spite his face" D. J. s. knows very we'll if Andrew Carnegie were making $I,5oo,ooo per year profit from his business, he would uot agree 10 divide profits with his employees rather than advance their wages 10 per cent. Andrew Carnegie IS one of the most lib eral and generous employers in this country. always paying wages up to the very highest notch, but we believe that he is possessed of too much of the frailties of human nature to divide $I, 900 profit with his employees rather than accede to request of an increase of 10 per cent in their wages. Yet this IS just what he has done. He very frankly told his employees that he could not stand the raise demanded of them, and if they in sisted he would be compelled to close his works. They insisted and he closed his great steel works. He has recently stlrted them again however, under ar agreement of division of profits with his employees, so that the entire force of that ''it is said" argument is knocked com pletely out by this fact. And as NIT Carnegie's employees are now virtually partners in the business and will have better opportunity of getting an insight into the tariff question and its benefit to the working classes, it is safe prediction to say that the entire S,5ooo votes of his employees will be cast for the repua- lican ticket.

THE PRsMTERS' PRESIDENTIAL "A
 vORj1E.

Our democratic contemporary this morning attempts to knock NIT. Harrison cieat out of the presidential ring with one terrific thres-line "swipe" on the neck, as follows:
 Holm C. New employs none but rat printers on hls Harrison organ. Another straw
 It is perhaps a fortunate circumstance fdr Mir Harrison that cur contemporary .> ,, .ao organ of the Printers union in the UMted States, and 1t is also very evden, that such official organ IS not even among It's exchanges. As it is look ing for slfaws among the printers, we quote toe following from "The Crafts man, the official organ of the Interna- nonal iypo.raphical union. published at Washington, D. C. The organization IS entirely nor political, and the subjoined article IS also from non-political stand posut, md having reference solely to the availability of the respective candidates III relation to their friendship for organ lzed labor. Here IS the straw from an official source:
 "Henry Watterson, rat editor of the rat Courier journal, principal exponent of the presidents revenue policy, father and protector ot the star-eyed goddess of reform, was the author of the resolution in the national democratic convention endorsing the presidents antI-protection message and the Mills .ariff bill. He is ID accord with President Cleveland on all economic questions. as Cleveland IS with him on labor questions. as evanced by the Troup case, and more than any othrr pther the Courler- Journal repre- scents inc administration in the west and southwest.
 "The Buffalo Courier published at the home of the president, rat sheet of several years standing is Cleveland's mouthpiece. and apparently in his good graces and faithful expounder of his sentiments on all subjects Is was
Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1888-08-15

edited by the presidents bosom friend and fidus Achates, MT. Charles McKusn, until the recent death of the latter. There IS no word of Cleveland's on record anywhere indicating any con- demnation or depreciation ot the Courier's treatment ot union men or its employment of rats.
 "Tne New Haven Union, democratic paper, a firm supporter of Cleveland is owned and edited by Alexander Troup, who Tn 1866 and 1867 was elected secretary-treasurer of the Inter- national Typographical union, and it is rat ofice, with all its usual contempu. ble features. Troup is collector of inter- nal revenue for Connecticut by President Cleveland's appointment, who continues him in office notwithstanding the ap- peals and demands for his dis missal by New Haven and the International Typographical unions There is no reason for believing that NIT. Cleveland deprecates in any degree MT. Troup's policy toward union labor. He seeems to be perfectly satisfied with the New Haven Union and its rat editor"
 Nov, then, as to MT. New, spoken of by our contemporary. Giving both sides of the question, "The Craftsman" says ::
 "The Indianapolis Journal is also a rat newspaper, and IS supporter of MT. Harrison. But we have the testimony of Harry New, its business manager, son of John C. New, its proprietor, that MT. Harrison approached him and asked him to restore the union men to their positions and to unionize the office, months before the Chicago convention. net as matter of political policy, but as a matter of right and justice between man and man. Not once, but several times did MT. Harrison endeavor to in duce MT, New to discharge his rats and employ union men. "Not in this instance alone but on several occasions MT. Harrison has shown his friendship to labor unions. The records of the Washington Plate Printers union for October. 1888, would furnish an instance"
 This straw is official, and pretty good one for democratic printers to ''chaw" on.

Oi course, these little democratic idiosyn- crasies have not been considered worthy of much notice, and are only referred to now to correct the impressions they have made on our contemporary.
 The democratic campaign liar IS hard at work, and sorely pushed for material for his party to use against the republican candidates. His first effort. the pro-Chinese lie, proved to De 8 boomerang which in its rebound bene- fited the republican candidate more than it injured him and that has been abandoned. The oft ,easserted state ment thst Harrison IS the enemy of the working classes, is disproved by the num- Der of delegations Of workingmen who have called upon him to pay their respects and assure him of their support. Up 10 date the d. C. l. has failed to formulate single objection to the republican candi- date. and if no better success IS met with his case will become so desperate that another Mercy letter will have to be forged on the eve of the election.
