FoR the benefit of the Ss. Johns Herald {: ? We will state that an attempt was made before the last grand jury, in Apache county, to Indict E. W. Nelson, County Recorder, not for malfessRnce in office. but for libel. But notWith- standing the most extraordinary efforts in this direction the scheme failed, Nel- son being known to the jury as too good and too honorable a man to be guilty of wrong doing. To speak the truth, even in Apache county Is not considered gn indictsble crime. His reputation as su official and 6 man may bs envIed by the psragrspher in the Herald, but it cannot be impeached.

USDERsHERIFF SHIBELL is of the opin'
 ion that the Sonora train robbers gre
 with the single exception of the man
 Taylor liable to go scot free. The trou'
 ble, he says. srii es from the fact that the possee first taking the trail of the robbers failed to follo~ it to Nogales. but abandoned it immediately after finding the broken express box and the masks used by the robbersiwhen taking ln the train. Had the trail been follow cd it would have led directly to Tsylor's house in Nogales where the robbers re- msined for sn entire day, and were pres eut at the burial of two of their victims. It was not until the finding of Taylor's hat began to be noised about that the robbers bsosme alarmed and decamped. One Is known to have come as far as Huschuca Siding where he abandoned his horse and is then believed to have gone on foot in the direction of Fair banks. The other three are sup posed to be now secreted among friends in Sonora. Taylor claims to have been drawn into it by the siexi- o.,, o,,l .,,-.bo- kk ~4 'F ~ = p
 oan aud i1 IursneI eIIs,t.st he did none of the killing, but this does notiexculpste him of being, as he admits, sn active participant in one of the most disboli- cal outrages ever perpetrRted on iron tier road, and his punishment should undoubtedly be commensurate there with. Iu his anxiety to save hls own miserable neck he is willing to turn states evidence or any thing eise that will avert the moose. It IS true, that ID the capicity of a witness he would be or service to the community but the ques- tion now arises as to the manner ot DIS disposal. He will, it is understood, be formally turned over to the Sonora au- tborities and if as is their usual custom. ID such cases, they stand him up against Eu adobe wall and shoot him. 1t will be almost impossible 10 convict the others fl caught, as none of them were recog- ulzsd at the time of the killing, unless R1Ilidg. who was at Taylor's house when they sll came in, can testify to their identity. A further complication ot the case is said to be found ID the citizenship of Taylor, who claims to 6e native of Canada, but who some time since took out his first papers in Tomb stone. but whatever the difficulties may be he ought not to be allowed to escape ths consequences of his atrocious crime.

JOHN s. RANDALL, the Pennsylvania
 protection Democrat, made most tell
 ing speech against the Mills bill in the
 house of representatives s few days since. Coming from such a man 1t work
 ed like bombshell ID the democratic ranks, and many of the statements made being spplsuded by the republicans. ID concluding he said: "I wsrn the party, that it is not safe to abandon principles SO fundamental to our institutions snd SO necessary to the maintenance of our industrial system-principles which st. test the wisdom of those who establish ed them by the fruits they have borne, the full truItion, of which, however. can only be realised in sn extension of di- versifed industries to all parts of the country, not in North or East alone, but in the South spd West as well, A new era of industrial enterprise has davned upon the South. No section of the country possesses 8 greater natural sd vantage than the South. with her genial climate, her limiiless raw materials, her mines of coal and iron, with abundance of labor ready to dsvelope them. Con- sidering what has been there achieved in a single decade, what msy not a cen tury bring forth from her under @ sTs tenn calculated to favor higher indus trial developement. When I read the history of my country and consider the past and present, and reflect on what is before us, I can't believe thst the idea that went down in the convulsions of 1861 will ever again dominate the destines of the republic"

THERE has been a dozen different
 wsys suggested to solve the water prob
 lem in Pima county, but not one has
 been practically tested. To do this
 money would be required and this is
 what the many scheme projectors do
 not care to put iu, and it is neither
 possible nor probable that outsiders
 will do it for them 90 long ss the con trol is practically withheld from them.
 This identical drawback prevented the
 building o, the OsLss;basss railroad and il will proven. the building of anything out B. mountain of disappointment so ion as it be adhered to. IL has until quite recently, been the custom of the country to attribute the tardy coming of capital to the hostility of the Apache. but he has long since ceased to be ac- counted factor, and still the wished for prosperity comes on with lsgging feet. Other counties less favored than our own, develop their resources and speedily outstrip us in the race for pop ulation and wealth. Instead of con- planning they work, instead of trying to control immense corporations In which they have DO noneyed interest, they are satisfied to yield that palm 10 the men that put up the coin, and are content themselves aiding in the development of enterprise by which all are made rich. If the people of Pima county could be induced to do likewise they would soon be better of. Pims is ss fair to look upon ss any of her sister counties, her prospects ss inviting, lands as arabic and water, it developed, sufficient for all purposes. Upon the last proposition the whole fabric of our well being rests, and @ concerted effort by our leading busI- ness men should be made to induce csp- itAl to come In and do for us what they have done for otherB. Until 1t be done 1t IS useless to look for 8 general revival ID business.

DECORArloS nay

DECORATION DAY st the Capitol of the Nshon, will be observed with unusual display. Not only will the Posts of that city participate but many people will go in from the surrounding country.
 In Brooklyn 6 similar display is to be made, and this will be more notable from the fact that President Cleveland has signifed his intention to review the grand army procession, This condecen- sion on the part of his free trade msies- ty, has been brought about by his con- ng candidacy and the unpleasant know ledge to him that even 6 msimed and pensionless soldier can vote.
 In nearly all the cites of the United States this day will, to greater or less extent, be reyereptislly observed. Speeches will be made. poems recited, guns fired and the tales of battle and bivouac again told, but each year the narrstors will grow fewer and the stten- dance less. Already the ranks are thinning. Ayear ago John A. Logan was conspicuous by his presence, but on the 3Oth bis absence will be equally ob- served. Other men perhaps not so great as he, but great enough to be missed will fsIl 10 answer at roll call Time beats the taps and they sleep iu the sum- Der shades of death.
 The day will likewise be properly ob- served here snd the neglected mounds where sleep the brave be beRutified with flowers and their deeds told in speech and song.
 The following is said 10 be the correct version of how Decoration day came to be established in the United States: Mrs Sarah Nicholas Evans. who died in Dee Moines, Iowa, in 1884. WAS one of the four ladies with whom the observance of Decoration day originated. On April l3 1862. just one year after the fall of Fort Sumpter, Mrs. Evans with the wife and two daughters of Chaplain May o' the Second Regiment, Michigan Volun-  teers, decorated the graves of 6 number of soldiers buried on Arlington Heights In May the next year the same ladies performed the same service again st the same plsce. h May the next year, they rendered the same sadly pleasant stten- ton to the graves .ot soldiers buried st Fredericksburg. In 1874 Congress took notice of ceremonial so significant of the nations obligation to the dead and made May Both legal holiday. It was becoming after such 8 record, that Mrs. Evans should have 8 formal recognition by the Grand Army This was given her by Crocker Post, No. l2. Des Moines February, 1873, the same recognition be- ing extended to Miss Ella May.

 JOHN F. MATHEWS, 8 mining engineer of Denver, maintains that but few Anne ricsns understand the importance of the
 trade of Mexico, for while we are their
 next door neighbors We have allowed England and Germany to supply most of their wants. Our people are too apt to look down on them, but they should study them little they would find 6 lot of hightoned merchants and gentle men in our sister republic, The mer- chant who is of any sccount st all en- joys the best of credit in Europe. and it is not sn uncommon thing for them to get years time on the goods they pur- chase in these countries.

Work That Last. for Aucs.

Die sinking Is carried on to A large extent in New York. and the work turned ous from the various establishments is already nc- knowledged in the market Co bc If the very highest order The material from which the dies are usually made, either brass or steel. IS first turned into the desired shape m a lathe Steel has to be submitted tO a certain process called annealing, by which it becomes soft and pliabic. Tho letters or figures, as tho case may be- arc then traced on the metal, aiser which the graveur Is brought into play. This tool must be highly tempered, or else it will fail tO do the work marked out for it on the steel plate. The artist who attempts die sinking must needs bo temperate iu his habits, as c steady hand md clear eyesizht are two necessary requisites, should succlss be the object tO be attaiued The cutting of the various letters and designs cannot be rushed, as the artist must work slowly Co Ob- tain accuracy.
 Dies are used for medals, rubber stamp, seal pres5es, wax and notary seals, ribbon stamps, stencil alphAbets and various other neceSsaries of mercantile use Many of the steel dies cut for mednls bring a high price. and when any sort of f,,e piece of work b turned out the die usually brings as much as 50. The greatest number of dies nowadays are used m the cutting of rubber stamps. and, although bringing a fair price, not many duplicate orders are received. as the metal will wear n lifetime. should It not meet with mishap or the style change. which Is sometimes the case.-New York Mail and Ex- preSS

THE rrNPIroF JUSTICE.

TIE movement made by the senate committee on public buildings and grounds to erect temple of justice" IS 6 good one. The Supreme court of the United States is one of the most august tribunals the world ever saw, snd it should be housed in building worthy of its and the country's dignity, if Ame- ricsn architects can design such build ng.
 The present accomodations for the Su- preme Court are hardly worthy of "s back county" court m one of the inte- rior states. A little, "stufy," room which IS crowded if twenty lawyers en- ter. a narrow passagewsy to the bench. & dressing room and clerks office across the corndor, a msrshafs room hardly large enough to turn in, and its library in the basement are the present quarters provided for tke Supreme Court.
 The theory of our government is that We have three coordinate branches, each of equal dignity, but when We examine into the workings of the plan We find that the seventy-siX senators who repre- sent the states, the 325 representatives who represent the people, the two con stitutiug the legislative branch, might be unanimous in the passage of 8 bill, and the President who constitutes the executive, might sign that bill and make it law, SO far as these two coordinate branches can, and that five out of the nine iudges who constitute the judicial branch can make null and void the law whIch has the unanimous consent and epprobatlon of both the other "co-ordI- nate" branches.
 The powerful and disnified branch of our government has not yet been pro Sided with a home. The nation is rich and powerful and 8 magnificent build lag should be provided, with suitable court rooms and offices for the justices aud accommodations for the officers of court. The site selected by the senate committee is a very proper one. Let as have s temple of iustice."-Nstiousl Republican.
