The Clifton clarion., 1888-06-27

The Clifton CLARION, of the 18th inst, shows Peter J. Bolan in the rough, and leaves 1t to be inferred that Peter, although chairman of the Democratic Territorial Cen tral Committee, is no saint, and links him, in a questionable man her, with the disposition of the J. B. Collins estate. The charges are clearly made and of such a nature as to require a refutation by the accused. The CLARION promises that, before it is through with Bolan. it will a-so investigate other estates with which he was connected, notably the Lutter es- tate. It is, however, due to Mir. Bolan to state that he is entitled to a hearing before being con demned, and that it is scarcely probable that he will rest under the accusation without essaying a vigorous reply.-Globe Silver Belt.
 Those charges have notyet been denied by Mir. Bolan, although we have no doubt the Tucson Star would gladly allow F. J. the op- portunity if he could successfully accomplish the task.

President Arthur in his message

President Arthur in his message in December, 1882, sad:
 recommend an enlargement of the free list, a simplification of the complex and inconsistent schedule of duties upon certain manufac- lures, particularly those of cotton, iron and steal, and a substantial reduction upon those articles, and upon sugar, molasses, silk, wool, and woolen goods:
 President Cleveland said:
 "The question of free trade is absolutely irrelevant. and the per sistent claim made in certain quar- ters, that all efforts to relieve the people from unjust and unneces- sary taxations are schemes of so- called free traders, is mischievous and far removed from any consld- eration for the public good"

SNAIL STATES OR LARGE2

Why the people of a territory should
want TO turn it into state is as queer a
mystery as why a small boy should long
for trousers and boots. Still it is a fact
that all territories want to be made states
and the Democrats would have done well
had they appreciated this during their
reign, just closing. The Republicans will
gain senators and representatives in con-
gIess by their sympathy with the wishes
of the people of Dakota, Idaho, Montana
and Washington.
They mean to admit these four terrific
ries as soon as the new congress meets -,
and will thus gain probably eight sena-
tors and ten or twelve representatives
On this there arises talk of carving
some new states out of larger present
states. There are people, for instance,
it seems, who believe Colorado could be
cut into two states, and there is talk of
making four out of Texas.
Texas is as large as France. 1t has
gained in population very rapidly in the
last ten or twelve years and has probably
now nearly 1000 goo of people 1t is
capable of holding y ,000 900, with elbow
room for every one. There is also re-
newal of the proposition to make Cali
fornia into two states, which seems to lg&
reasonable, for the lines of that stHte
now stretch distance equal to that from
Portland, Me-. TO Savannah, Ga. and
to carry a convict from San Deso or
Redding to the state prison, neakA San
Francisco, costs as much as yaasHs
keep.
