WHAT TROUBLES TEXAS.

Governor Ross of Texas recently gave few facts about the finances of this state that comport with its magnitude. Its bonded indebtedness. mostly held in the state, in round numbers is S4, 5oo,- 900. Like Uncle Sam it is troubled with a surplus that it don't know what to do with. It has in the general state treas ury, surplus of more than S2,ooo,ooo. Its school fund has surplus of SI6,ooo,- 900, more than half loaned cut on county and railroad bonds, and they are seeking an investment for the balance. The farmers to whom the state has been sell ing its land on forty years time with only five per cent interest, in the hope that they would be very dilatory about paying the prin cipal, are pilir g in the money on the overburdened State Treasurer. The counties are doing the same. To add to its misery the state has 3o,ooo,o 900 acres of land yet to sell, which are bringing every year higher and higher prices Poor Texas! Let every nation and in dividual on the face of the earth that i: signing "fsr lack of dollar or two" droE . tear over the loity loneliness of the mel ancholy state.-American Banker.

But am like "Pope Barrow" about Thurman. don't care anything about him and for the best reason in the world-he don't care any thing about me. He hurt my feelings with malice aforethought.

He is little to uppity and biggity for us common folks. He thinks he is Jupiter and we are nothing but the moon. What was said or done at Macon was none oi his business. He was hunting around and snuffing the air for treason and thought he had found it, and so he fired of an alarm gun and paved dirt and threwed mud and-and so have los, about 90 per cent of my respect for hin, and the other ten for his red bandana.

On the morning of the 4,h of July, the Phenix Gazette appeared one side printed with red ink and the other side with blue ink, which with the white margin presented quite a patriotic ap- pearance, and it was generally accepted as a display of patriotism. But the secret is out, and it seems that the issue of many colsrs was a representation of the condition of its editor that morning who had been knocked red, white and blue the night previous in street fight. Such is life in the far west. Tucson Star.

 MONDOM,

REMARKABLE SHOWING FOR NOR.
 MoNDoM,
 The great bulk of the people of Utah are agriculturalists. Their possessions are in land and herds. The statistics show that 90 per cent of Mormon fami- lies own their own homes. There is nc other community on earth which will make like showing. There is not an almshouse, or the necessity for one, in any of the exclusively Mormon settle ments. With the exception of the mines every other industry in Utah is kept alive by Mormon labor and Mormon patronage. The Mormons supply the most reliable non.striking class of labor CTS in the whole ter-mountain region. The agricultural and pastoral products of Utah for 1887, according to the esti. mates furnished by the Governor oi the Territory. were sufficient to produce a total of more than s ,ooo, ,ooo.- Delegate John T.

THE PRINTING CONTRACT.

The Prospector, in it's zeal to crust Supervisor White, has made mis.state- ment of facts. The advertisement of the Board, as published in the EPITAPH, called for advertising and also for all printing, "consisting of tax receipts, etc, and all other job work required by the county" Strange enough, the proposals of the EPITApH and Prospector for doing the advertising were identically the same, and very naturally the Board recog- nized the superiority of the EPI- TAPH as an advertising medium and awarded 1t the contract. In the matter of the job printing, on the only item specified by the Board, (tax re- ceipts) the EPITAPH's bid was S4 50 per 1000 aud the Prospector's S6. Both papers fAme the error of bidding on complaints, warrants and indictments, which were not advertised for, supply to last six months being on hand, and very properly that portion of the bids was thrown out.
 The statement of the Prospector that Supervisor White explained to Mr. Phil lips that the county would need no print ing done outside of tax receipts is ridicu- lously false on its face. MT. White did request the Clerk of the Board to go to the District Clerk and the Sheriff and learn if "warrants, complaints and in. dictments" would be needed m the next six months, and the Clerk returned and reported that those officers had full supply of the blanks named on hand The proprietor of the ProsPector was probably aware of this fact, for he very we'll knows that the white paper for looe indictments would cost him more money than the sum specified by by him in his bid, hence he could safely have put ir his bid on that item at one cent pei thousand as well. In this case sharr practice didn't work.
 The statement that Supervisor Phil lips was led to believe that tax receipt: would be the only class of job printing required by the county in the coming si' months is either untrue or it displays { wonderful lack of knowledge of count, affairs on the part of that gentleman. We give Mir. Phillips the benefit of the doub and discredit the statement.
 No, the trouble is this: the mantle o the Nashes has fallen on a man with mission who doesn't know even littl' bit about the printing business. As al agitator he has been trying to correct thu fancied wrongs of this community 10 years, and he has failed absolutely, ant in consequence has become soured. H. is an industrious fellow, and by rushinl his own business has mach time to de vote to other peoples. Here he make a mistake; he had much better devot that time to improving his mind an' developing a Christian spirit. Don accuse people wrongfully; speak of mel as you find them, and your pathway wil be strewn with roses. Otherwlse th trail will be stony and decidedly thorny Take friends advice.

There will be no new registration thi: year in Pima county, the Board of Super visors having failed to give the required notice within the time specified by law The Great Register of 1886 will therefore hold good. It is the duty, however. oi the County Recorder to erase therefrom any and all names of parties that have died or moved away since the last regis tration. All parties whose names are not already on said register can, by ap- plicaticn to the nearest justice, have them placed thereon, the justice being legally appointed officer for that purpose.-Citi- zen.
Tombstone epitaph., 1888-07-14

Politics, thank Heaven! do not enter into the present squabble over the county printing. A majority of the Board of Supervisors are Democrats, so are the editor and proprietor of the prospector, poor things! while the EPITAPH is run by the rankest sort of red-hot Republi. cans, who believe that Harrison is all right and will get there. This fact does not prevent us from conceding that the present Board of Supervisors will com pare favorably with any that has had charge of Cochise county affairs.

Unnecessary Misery.

Probably as much misery comes from habitual constipation as from any de. engagement of the functions of the body and it is difficult to cure, for the reason that no one likes to take the medicines usually prescribed.

James C. Blaine has closely studied the labor question in foreign lands and he says: The issue of protection is in- calculably stronger and greater than any man, for it concerns the prosperity of the present and of generations yet to come. Were it possible for every voter of the Republic to see for himself the condition and recompense of labor in Europe, the party of free trade in the United States would not receive the support of one wage worker between the two oceans.

The EPITAPH regrets to learn the financial embarrassment of the Old Guard Mining Company, which, under the superintendence of MT. George R. Williams, has. developed fine mine. A circular recently issued by the directors in London calls for a loan of SI25,ooo. secured by first mortgage on the property. There is small room for doubt that with such excellent security no diff culty will be encounted in raising the money.

THE FRENCH FISHERIES.
Grasping England Has Her Clutches
on Them ToO.

PARIS, December 24.-In the Senate
Admiral Vernon alluded to the regret
able effects of the Newfoundland law
which prohibits the sale of cod to French
fishermen. He complained that the
British had erected factories for canning
Holsters on the French shore greatly to
the prejudice of French fishermen. He
asked the Government to put stop to
these encroachments on French rights.
THE GOVERNMENTS VIEWS.
M. Goblet, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
replied that the Government wanted to
secure respect for the rights assured to
France by the Treaty of Utrecht. French
fishermen did not now require Newfound-
land bait. France only occupied one
fifth of the French shore where the Eng
lish industries have been established,
and these have been tolerated as long az
they did not interfere with French rights
The Government would now, however,
cause their removal. and would at once
open negotiations with England with the
object of suppressing the English lobster
factories complained of. He assured the
Senate that the Government would neg
lect nothing calculated to develop the
French fisheries. Applause

The restoration of Egypt to a condi

Insurrection has broken out upon the
continental portion of the dominions o

with it considerable destruction of life

symptoms have unhappily shown them
selves in several parts of Africa, has
largely contributed to the production
of these disturbances. have joined the
Emperor Of Germany in establishing a
naval blockade of that part of the coast

importation of munitions Of war.

The Loss of the Kate Adams,

MEMPHIS. December 24.-The loss o.
life by yesterdays accident is not yet
definitely known, the prospects are thai
the exact number of those drowned will
never be accurately stated. Thirty-five
is the most conservative estimate. Out
of party of fifteen white laborers, which
boarded the steamer, only two are said
to have been saved. If this be true, bu.
there is no means of substantiating the
fact, the loss of life may reach sixty, as
many negroes on the lower deck lost
their lives attempting to swim ashore
from the stern Of the burning steamer.
The boat and cargo are valued at $145,-
600. The Kate Adams had q record oil
the fastest time between Helena and
Memphis. She was the steamer that
conveyed President Cleveland and wife
from West Memphis to this city on the
occasion of his visit to the South.
