This is what Major D. A. Cook
has to say of a long and eventful
life: The man who enters poll,
tics may as well, at the outset, bid
good by to contentment and peace
of mind. There are too many
petty iealousies and reveuges in the,
life of a politician that there ia no
time or room for quit peaceful en-.
joymont. The life and energies
of politician are completely alb
sorbed in getting even with his
opponents and seeing that his
friends do not get ahead of him.
There is neither love nor confidence
among politicians. They are bound
together for aggressive assault or
mutual protection. Their only
honor is self interest.

 property, which no other industrial inter. est in the Territory IS called on to do. Under the methods oftaxation at present in vogue in this Territory, dollar invest, ed in cattle is taxed higher than dollar invested in any other line of business. Why this outrageous mode of levylpg taxes should ever have been adopted, why s,ockmen should be thus re qured to contribute more largely to the tax fund than any other class is hard to conceive. Paying as they already do nearly three fourths of the taxes. collected in the Ter ritory, exclusive of that received from railroads, there was no excuse for the imposition of this additional burden of taxation. It is most assuredly though a good and sufficient reason why the claim now made for the stockmen for lower rate of assessment be imposed upon cat ;le should be granted. The Territorial Board of Equalization now in session in Prescott, have the power, iflhey so desire, to do justice to the stockmen of Arizona to the extent of assessing their cattle at more reasonable rate than twelve dollars per head. As fair minded and unpred- udiced men they should take into con- sideration ail the circumstances connect ed with the matter, and act accordingly. Let them recognize the fact that in the past as well as in the present, it has been the stockmen of the Territory who more thar any other class have paid the great bulk of the taxes collected in the Ter rtory, while as a class they have received less in return. Under the special cattle tax alone there has beer collected during the last year nthe counties of Mohave Yavapia, and Apache from the cattlemen more money than has been paid during the same period in the way of taxes by the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad--one of the largest corporations in the nation. Justice and right demand that such in justice as this should cease, and there is certainly no better place where reform. ation can be inaugurated than in the office and at the present session of the Territorial Board of equalization, if the members of such board have the inclna-- ton and back bone to heed the righteous requests of the stockmen of Arizona for farer and iuster treatment in the future than has been accorded them in the past -Hoof & Horn. sf t-i

ASSESSING STOCK CATTLE.

Arguments why lower grade of assessment than twelve dollars per head be placed on cattle in Arizona by the
 Territorial Board of Equalization for the ensuing year. The arguments advanced in favor of such reductions are few and simple, and such as cannot be contro- veried The reasons why the Stockmen of Arizona believe that the present rate of assessment is to high are: CD That taken all around stock cattle are selling for less than twelve dollars per head in all pirts of the territory: (2) That the assessment of twelve dollars per head in one made and established on live stock valIcs of five years ago, when the cattle business was in far more prosperous condition than at present. No one ac- quainted with the cattle business of Ari- zona for the past few years can fall to recognize the justice of the stockmens demand in this connection, or the logic o' thelr arguments in support of the same In addition to the two reasons for re- duction Tn ,he assessment of cattle there Is another one that stockmen, under the laws Of the territory, are required to pay special and additional tax on their

 The President retains his partiality for the Daniets. Daniel N. Lockwood pre- sented his name to every Convention which nominated him before ihs year. Daniel Manning gained him the nomir :. tion for Go, ernor in 1882 and the nomin- ation for President in 1884, managed his canvass for both posts and filled the most important office in his Cabinet for half the Presidential term; Daniel Lamont is his private secretary; Daniel Magone is the Collector of the Port in the principal city in the country, position which gives him big "pull' in politics in the pivotal State, and Daniel Dougherty presented his name to the Convention for nomina- ton for the second Presidential term. If any of these Daniels still living possessed the prophetic powers of their ancient namesake they would be able to decipher the handwriting placed by Oregon upon the wall foretelllng the overthrow of the Democracy in November next.-Globe Democrat.

were six ships belonging to one Bosco. witz, who is evidently the william of the story, because he is accused of British sagaclty.' It is not clear how a Bosco. WI could be Britisher, although he might very easily be Hungarian or a Croat or even worse. However that may be, Boscowiiz, the Britisher, went up to Alaska to buy back his own skins and there he found that it was cheaper to buy the officials at their own valuation than the skins at market price. With true British sagacity" he bought the officials at their price and the skins athis own. We are not quite sure whether the American sagacity or the British came out ahead.

The Boston Evening Transcript speaks of Gresham as. in a position to "go into the Republican, convention under similar conditions to those which brought about Abraham Linooln's nomination in 1860" But in saying this, quite justly in view of certain obvious circumstances which sug- gest it a: once, there are left out of view the particular circumstances which brought about Mr. Lincoln's nomination. The State of Illinois had been a battle ground over which Lincoln and Douglas had fought, with results which made it as good as certain that Lincoln alone could carry Illinois, and with it Indiana, against Douglas, and that, against Seward or any other Republican, Douglas could carry Illinois and with it Indiana. This was what clinched the case for Lincoln, al though other circumstances, such as now create case for Gresham, helped then 10 create case for Lincoln. And this clincher does not exist in the present case for Gresham. The present parallel to Illinois and Lincoln in 1860 is New York and Depew. President Cleveland has once carried New York against Blaine, and present circumstances make it more certain than it was four years ago that he can carry ii against any candidate who IS not peculiarly strong in fhis State, and that the man who can certainly carry it for the Republicans, is Depew, who would get at least 10 900 votes of railroad employees who are Democrats. In fact, campeent and well-informed judges think that not far from I5,ooo. Demo- cratic railroad employees would vote for Depew

Late dispatches from England leave the impression that Blaine will accept the nomination if it be rendered him as the unanimous expression of the conven- fion. Steve Elkins, who stands closer than anyone to Blaine, has received a letter from Gai, Hamilton saying, that "Blaine will accept the nomination if it comes unsought and unanimous" II this be true, and no one can reasonably doubt it, then it proves that after all a woman has more influence over the Plumed Knight than all the astute politicians in the republican party. If after all he should be nominated, it will be in order for the republicans to insert a woman's rights plank in their platform

 An Eastern exchange says of the Cal ifornia Senator. There ought to be more statesman in high place like George Hearst. People wondered when he was elected what the sturdy and as some as- sumed the uncouth miner would do in the Senate among the great minds there, but they had-not long to wait before they discovered that he took rank among the most careful, sensible and business like members of the chamber. As Senator he has been an unqualified success. He has attended 10 his duties in faithful, painstakrng and thoroughly earnest way. and while California may have had more eloquent members in that body the State has never been mere worthily represented than it is by George Hearst.

Since 1883 the Democrats have had uninterrupted control of the nationa
 House of Representatives. They have enjoyed the services of Speaker who is admitted to be the very best presiding afficer Of his party. Mir. Carlisle has says the mail and express, made the com, mittees of the bodies over which he has presided for the purpose of bringing out the utmost strength of his party. It is probably the fact that, since his Speaker. ship, the House has been as efficient as its personnel permitted. And yet nearly all important legislation has failed, and now all but one subject, the tariff, has been abandoned. It is certain that the Democratic party cannot better it's record of the last five years, and, judged on that record, 1t is wretched failure.
 When Mr. Carlisle was first chosen Speaker Mir. Arthur was President. In ms annual message to the Congress of that year he informed it that the f,heries clause of the Washington treaty had been terminated by notice which had been given in accordance with an act of Con- gress. But Congress did not attend to the recommendation, and it was no, until ISS7 that the retaliatory act was passed, the Democrats being driven to do some thing by the stress of pubic opinion. which was stimulated by the eagor clamor of their New England fellow partisans. who were afraid to lose the 6shermans votes. In the same message Mir. Arthur notified Congress that the three per cent, bonds would oe paid in 1887. The pre- diction was exactly verified, so that Con gress knew that the revenues would begin to accumulate the moment the redempt- Ion of the threes stopped. Mr. Arthur begged Congress to take some steps to prevent the threatened surplus. He urged the adopion of scheme for the reduction of unnecessary and unjust taxation. But Congress was deaf The Democratic House, which was responsi. oie Tor revenue taxation, refused to take any action. The years went by and the surplus continued to pile up, until now tne business interests of the country are Iaced with problem which the majority 'n 'he House are unable to cope with. There has never in the history of lepjs- iatlon in this country, been such an ex- hlbition of incompetency.

 Nothing, indeed, is more remarkable in the history of the nineteenth century than the civllizng mission of railways. It is railway that has tanned Central Asia. It is railway that was the best chance of tanning the Soudan. It is to railways that we must look for the pre- vention of that incesiant immigration from China which is standing menace to Western civilization. And it is rail. way, Sir Edward Watkins would add, that will in some future century seal the solidarity between the peoples on either side ofthe Channel. And take the liberty of adding that railroad to Tombstone is one of the vital necessities of the hour.
