Arizona Interested in the St. Louis
 Conference.

In response to the published call for meeting of the executive com mittee of the Arizona Live Stock association, one was held at Benson on the Both ut. in which the unan- imous expression of opinion was that the coming meeting at St. Louis on November twentieth, would be one of great interest to the cat tie producers of the west, and that it was of great importance that Ari- zona should be represented. and that the convention should be ac- quainted with the fact that that ter ritory is in full sympathy with tie objects and interests of the conven- ton.
 MT. Rochester Ford, of St. Louis who is identified with the cattle in terests of that territory, was selected as representative, both to the con vention and before the senate com mittee.
 The following preamble and res olution were unanimously adopted, and a copy of them forwarded to Mir. F ord;
 Whereas. The cattle growers of Arizona, in common with all others of the country, have for a series of years past suffered from an unusual and unprecedented depression in their business, which is believed to be due to the unlawful manipula- tion of the large beef markets ofthe United States by unprincipled men with unlimited capital, and have been unable in their individual or associated capacity to discover any means of relief,-
 Therefore, The cattle growers of Arizona heartily endorse the action of the United States senate in ap- pointing a comittee, with full power, to enquire into and fully investigate 
 all causes that have led to and have continued for so long 6 time the depression in this branch of busi- ness and desire to express their full sympathy with the objects of the Convention of the Cattle Grow ers' association of the United States that meets in St. Louis, Missouri, on the 20th of November, 1888, in conference with the Butchers Uni ted associated of the United States and the aforenamed honorable sen- ate committee.
 Resolved, That Rochester Ford be appointed the delegate to repre- sent Arizona in the convention and before the senate committee in the matters that effect the cattle inter- ests of this territory.
 By order of the-.executive com mittee of the Territorial Live Stock association.
 COLIN CAMERON,
 Secretary pro tenn.

EVIDENTLY some Democrats in the South have come to a realiza- ton of tie fact that the time for a new departure has arrived and that they must, in the future, act inde- pendently of Tammany and the politicians of New York. They see that their political aspirations ard hopes have been immolated upon the altar of selfshncss erected by the ward politicians, bummers and gutter-snipes..of the commercial me tropolis. Gov. Hill, Mayor Hewitt and Sheriff Grant, of New York, caused the Democratic party to lose the Empire State. The Charles ton, s. C., News and Courier has published the opinions of thirty County Chairmen on the situation. One of the leading Democrats in the State created a sensation by saying:
 Il, for one, am getting tired of being made a cat's-paw to rake the chestnuts out of the fire for North ern politicians of New York of the Hewitt-Hill Grant stripe. For 20 years or more these people have been using us to serve their selfish ends. The Solid South has been used as a cat's-paw by them, and the Solid South is solidifed fool if it does not kick over the traces. What would I do? Why, do this; I would have a convention of the Southern States; let the convention meet and discuss the situation; let us say to the National Republican Committee We are tired of this thing and we want to break through the traces. Give us your assurance that you will leave us alone to man. age our state affairs, and that you will give us decent Federal officials in the South, and we will break up the Solid South; we will cut loose from Tammany and the County Democracy and Hill and all the rest of it, and vote for the best man for President, whether he be Repub- lican or Democrat"

The London Murder FieRd.

The fiendish murders, and muti- lations of the murdered recently committed in London is without a parallel in atrocity. The police seem powerless to detect the auth ors of the crime. A London tele- gram of the 9th instant says: The murder fiend added another to his list of victims. At Il o'clock the body of woman cut into pieces was discovered. The police are endeavoring to track the murderer with blood hounds. The remains are mutilated in the same horrible manner as those of the women mur- dered in Whitechapel.
 The appearance of the remains was frightful and the mutilation was even greater than in previous cases. The head had been severed and placed beneath one of her arms. Her ears and nose were cut of. The body had been disemboweled and the flesh torn from the thighs, and womb and other organs missing. The skin had been torn off the head and cheeks. One hand had been pushed into the stomach.
 The victims, like all others, wasa prostitute. She was married. Her husband is porter. They lived to- gether at spasmodic intervals. Her name is believed to have been Liz zie Fisher, but to the most of the habitues or haunts she visited she was known as Mary Jane. She had a room in the house where she was murdered. She carried a latch key and no one knows at what hour she. entered the house last night. Probably no one saw the man who accompanied her therefore it is hardly likely he will ever be iden- tifed. He might easily have left the house at any time between 1 and 6 o'clock this morning without attracting attention. Doctors who have examined the remains refuse to make any statements until the in- quest has been held. Three blood hounds belonging to private citi- zens have been taken to the place where the body lay and placed on the scent of the murderer, but were unable to keep it for any great dis tance, and all hope of running the assassin down with their assistance will have to be abandoned.
 The murdered woman told her companions last evening that she was without money, and would commit suicide if she didn't obtain supply. It has been learned that man respectfully dressed aceosted the victim and offered her money. They went to her lodgings; no noise was heard during the night and nothing was known of the murder until the landlady went to the room early this morning to ask for her. Tie first thing she saw on entering was the woman's breast and viscera on the table.

5 "IF THE desire of the HERALD is to have peace, it's columns should not be filled with continuation of campaign sensational matter. ."- Review.
 Is our peace to be disturbed un- less we consult the "Eye-Opener" as to what shall go into our columns? Peace at this price, is a little too costly. Oh, no, dear Capitan even though you were to give us a free pass over your old star route line, to quaff of it's immeasurable to- pographY. We intend to give the public a full and complete history of the promoters of the 'Eye-Open- CTS" party, so that at the next cleo tion-1S90-the good people may know who and what you are. If you see fit to attempt to disturb our peace and slumber, of course we shall feel sorry. But until your at- tempts prove successful, We shall "shoot it into you," every time you deviate from the path of rectitude. The righteous fear not the truth, and the HERALD is not afraid of its peace and slumber.

crate soldier won the esteem and admiration of the North and the devotion of his native South. As a Senator he stood peerless among his peers, and as chief executive of Georgia for second term he was elected without opposition.
 OUR cotemporarY says "we at tackled others than candidates dur ing the campaign, and some ''who were powerless to help themselves. " We'll, let us see. It is a we'll known fact that the "Eye-Opener" did the Democratic partymore good during the campaign, as Republican or gan, than did the HERALD as Dem ocratic organ. It is a well known fact that the "Eye-Opener" was un- able to attack the honesty, integrity or qualifications of any candidate on the Democratic ticket. It IS a we'll known fact that the only Dem ocratic candidate attacked was Le- sueur, and that was upon his reli- gious belief, and not upon his quail ifcatlons as an official, or essentials 
 of manhood. It is we'll known fact that all the attcaks made by the Eye-Opener, were made against Harris Baldwin, nonresident of the county, District Attorney John ston and Dr. Dalby, Henry Smith and Henry Tuning, and that none of these gentlemen were candidates, aspirants or seekers for office.
 It is a well known fact that the HERALD attacked majority of the candidates on the Republican tick ct, and that the "Eye-Opener" was unable to defend it's own. It is un- necessary to tell the people what they know. They know that the HERALD came out in open, specific charges against the Republican can didates, and gave them an oppor- tunity to explain their conduct and deny tho charges.
 Now comes the Eye-Opener and says we attacked every body, pow erless and powerful, except the can didates. Charges us with what it is most wilfully guilty itself.
 Is the "Eye-Opener" so blind as to believe the people don't know that the food for it's malicious at- tacks against District Attorney Johnston was obtained from the venom of this "powerless to defend himself?" Does it not know that the attack made by dirty lnucndo against the same gentleman-in person, intent and feeling-is un- derstood by the people and came from the same source-the power less-and will it be surprised to learn that the people we'll know that the editor positively denied the ar ticle's application when asked, and what a stretching of conscience such denial must have cost?
 Does not the "Eye-Opener" give the people credit for seeing that nearly all-if not all-the malic- ious venom-fostered by it, and used against Mr. Johnston was ob- tained from this helpless-"this powerless to defend hi mself?"
 It seems as though this power less," has become exhausted in try ing to destroy, by his venom, su- perior, and from sheer desperation, created by a knowledge of his own weakness, attempts by we'll nigh an assassin's thrust to take the life of his benefaHtor.
 The virtue of oVr cotemporary must come from a different and purer source, before it can attack, with any hope of success, it's oppo- nents in political campaigns, or be recognized by an intelligent public.

A well.bred mar has always the
same manners at home as in society,
and Whit is bad in the former, ia
only worse in the latter. 1t can
never be pardonsble to swagger and
lounge, nor to carry into the family
circle. the actions proper to the
!dressing.room. Even where famili.
arity has nothing shocking in itself,
it attacks the respect due to the
society of others, whoever they may
be, and presents the danger of a
further breach of it. From familiari,
ty to indecency is but one step.
Thus no part of the dress. not a
shoestring even, should be arranged
in the spresence of ladies. The
Hindoos, remarkable for the delica.
cy of their manners, would not al.
low kissing. scratching, pinching, or
lying dovn, TO be represented upon
the stage, and at least the last three
should not be permitted in q mixed
society OF men and women. There
are attitudes, too, which are a transi.
ton from ease to familiarity, and
should never be INDUCED. A man
may cross his legs in the present
day, but should never stretch them
spsrt. To wipe the forehead, cape,
yawn, and 90 forth, are only a shade
less obnoxioss than the American
habit Of expectoration.

A Villain at Large.

On Tuesday yellow negro man, with
some of his front teeth missing, called at
the house of Capt. Robert Mickler, at
Durbin, a station on the Jacksonville
road some nine miles from town, and
gave out that he was from Orangedale
and had walked to Durbin to take the
train. Finding that Capt Mickler was
absent, he made himself at home, play
ing some time with the children, and
soon became aggressive towards Mrs.
Mickler, demanding money, and finally
seizing and choking her. He then
robbed the house of a number of val
uables, including about $50 in money,
and departed. On his arrival home
Capt. Mickler at once went in search of
him, but after many hours had been
spent by himself and his neighbors word
&vas sent To town for help, and Sheriff
Hernandez Immediately went to work
on the case.
Yesterday the negro, whose name is
said to be Miller, was met several miles
west of st. Augustine, hurrying towards
the river, but the parties who met him
knew nothing of his crime and did not
arrest hmm. A party started i'm pursuit
immediately.
