The EPlTAPH was the first Arizona paper to call attention to the injury done this Territory by ignorant editors who locate in Arizona the scene of every crime committed in the frontier States of Mexico. Now the Los Angeles Times comes to our relief and says: "It is fact that Arizona is undeservedly given very bad name, not only by San Francisco papers, but by the press of the whole country. Whenever any especially atro- cious tale of blood is concocted by hun. gry penny-a-liners, il is credited to sup. positions Arizona paper and started on its rounds. As fact, life and property are as safe in Arizona as in any State of the Union. If man keep out of saloon and gambling-house quarrels, he may travel unarmed from one end of the Ter ritory to the other without the slightest fear of molestation, while petty larceny is uknown-something that we cannot say of sections which claim to be more civilized. An Arizona miner may leave home for week, his cabin door un- locked, and on returning find everything

Dominick Downed.

JERSEY CITY, N. J., Feb. I.-In glove contest tonight between between Dominick McCaffrey and Jack Dempsey, the latter won in ten rounds Dempsey did nearly all the leading, and scored three points to McCaffrey's one. Jerre Dunn was referee. The contest was given under the auspices of the Warren athletic association. An elevated stage had been erected in the center of the floor. At II:3o Dempsey and McCaffrey entered the ring. The early part of the evening having been monopolized by lesser lights, the fight, taken as whole, was very tame affair. There was much dissatisfaction over Referee Dunn, he being considered friend of Dempsey. The crowd called repeatedly for Harry Hill, Charley Johnson and several others. Dempsey weighed l5S pounds; McCaffrey, I68.

OUTRAGES ON THE MAILS.

Recently report was printed that cart loads ofmail were dumped into the bay of San Diego. The Los Angeles Tribune of the goth says:
 A day or two ago something like car load of "stuck matter" arrived at this office, and is now piled up in New Hlgh street like so much old junk. Inside the office is packed full to overflowing with the constantly augmenting mails, until now it is we'll nigh hopeless task to try to catch up. Already wagon loads of papers have been carted off and destroy. ed simply because they could not be distributed, and the space which they occupied was needed for fresher lots.

A Learned Wife.

She knows every modern ism and, as from hu- man prison, each theosophy and philosophy is reflected from her mind;
 Knows the standing, scope and status of the Be- cause, Rants and Plates, in philology and psychology she wades in and goes it blind. She will talk you to paralysis with her chemical analysis" with 'trichotomy'' and ''phile- botomy" on her victim she will bounce; She will kill you if your klable, with her sound ing, thirteen syllable, ancient, aline, ses- qupedalian words no fellow can pronounce. But her husband, helpless sinner, eats his bread and water dinner; luckless fellow in the cellar, thro' his lone dyspeptic days; For his lovely wife bewitching piles the tables iH the kitchen with the lexicons of old Mext cans and with cy-clo-pe-di-as.
 And without a curse or stammer thro' large piles of Sanscrt grammar with agility and abil- ity picks his way round like cat. And the big hole in his ''trowsis' sweet wifely aid arouses with complacency and patience he conceals it with his hat

The St. Louis Globe Democrat says: "The well.known lawyer, Daniel Dough-
 erty, has made the grave mistake of denouncing the press as hindrance to the administration ofjustice, when the fact is well recognized that the constant ten dency of press influence is to assist in the detection and punishment of crime and the vindication of the majesty of the law, whereasthe energy and skill of MT.
 Dougherty's profession are largely devot- ed to the work of saving guilty persons from prison and the gallows through technical evasions and perversions of the principles of justice. No reputable news paper will defend known criminal; but the worst of criminals are always able to secure the services of reputable lawyers. !"

 Washington Dispatch to the Cincinnati En-
 quirer.
 Very early during the present session of Congress, Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island, introduced a bill to adjust the claim of the "Suporip Land and Mining Company in relation to an alleged grant of land. The title of the bill had an innocent appearance, as it differed in no material way from that of hundred other bills; the fact, however, that the bill pufported to favor claim that had been described by the late Surveyor General of Arizona Gas the most bare faced forgery of any presented to this office, and has ever been regarded as the most astounding swindle that has ever been attempted in this Territory" attrac- ted some attention to it.
 Whatever suspicious may have been aroused by this circumstance, they were by no means allayed whena clause in the bill was discovered which would take the disposition of the thousands of disputed land claims in the Southwest out of the Land Office.
 Delegate Smith, of Arizona, saw there was something wrong in this crafty | attempt to enact general legislation under the disguise of bill'purporting to be a measure flor sustaining and settling the | Supori Land Claim" MT. Smith took a copy of the bill as soon as it was printed, 1 and sent it to the Surveyor-General of Arizona, with the request that he examine into the matter. MT. Smith received a ] reply from Surveyor-General Hise ex- posing the whole scheme. After demon. strating the alleged forgeries in connec- tion with the grant, he goes on to the real point.
 con the fraudulent character of this grant," says the Surveyor "I do not propose further to dwell than that the Senate bill to which you call my atten- tion does not seriously contemplate the confirmation of this alleged grant either by Congress or the Court of Claims. In my opinion this 'Supori grant is mere- ly used as "cat in the meal bag" to ac- complish another purpose; namely, to take the examination of these private land claims out of the present channel and directly confer it on the Court of Claims. This Court, from the very nature of its organization, is adapted to the purpose.
 "To refer these cases to the Court of Claims" continues the Surveyor General, 'would entail on actual settlers endless expense and furnish great advantage to the wealthy corporations. The bill is a very curious and obscure production on its face. While it purports to be means of adjusting the Supori private land claim it mere incidentally refers to that claim. It bears the finger marks of parties inter- ested in the notorious Peralta grant, in- asmuch as no requirement is made for preliminary survey of these grants. This is the thin ice the Reavis claimants have to pass over, and if not intended it is at least convenient for them to have the

in its place, with exception, perhaps, of little grub to which a passer-by may have helped himself, and to which he is always entirely welcome. With advanc- ing 'civilization,' Arizona will doubtless acquire her share of the vices ot more respectable communities. Meanwhile it is about time for the press to cease mis- representing Territory whose inhabit- ants are brave, hospitable and generous" !"
