Herald from Washington says: "Col La
mont says: There never has been sug-
gestion made to the president by any
body or through anyone that he should
specifically indorse the Democratic ticket
Of New York or Indiana, or any other
state, and the newspaper discussion
based upon statements to the contrary
have no foundation In fact.'"

Sweet Potatoes.

The sweet potato Is extremely sensitive
to frost and. except In the south. it's sea
son must be prolonged by means Of the
hot bed. No other plan than sprouting
and setting the plants Is now thought of
by experienced growers. It succeeds well
ON nearly any soil that can be easily
drained, but not ON q wet one Of any do

not adapted to 1t.
The Southern Queen is the earliest of all
sweet potatoes; the root is very large and
longer than the Nansemond. Of light
color. with excellent keeping qualities

yellow Nansemond Is preferred by many
to all other kinds.

AN OUTRAGE.

The Mail Gar Is sideiracked at Peach
 Spring Fourteen Hours.
 The papers throughout New Mexi. co and Arizona have complained bitterly of the reckless manner in which the United States mails have been handled in these territories, and the consequent delay resulting there from In most instances the railroad companies have been to blame. It has caused our business men great in . convenience and sometimes loss Of trade. Yesterday tie mail from the A. & P. was fourteen hours late, as the mall car had been sidetra cked al Peach Spring for the accommodation of number of excursionists.
 It appears that the rear end of the car was used for the pur pose of carry ing food for the tourists, and the mails were delayed in order to suit their whims and caprlces. Merchants are constantly complaining about the poor service, but it will be readily seen that the clerks are not entirel y to blame. A reporter of 7He Demo fraf was assured yesterday by persons, who are in position 10 know, that such occurrences are quite frequent" Albuquerque Democrat.

 fNFERIOk MAIL SERVICE,

REPREsESrATIvE Perkins, of Ksnsa, has offered 6 resolution in the House calling on the Postmaster General for information as to whether the inferior mail service complained of throughout the West results from the appointment of inexperienced or incapable employees, from inadequate appropriations to meet the wants of the Post Office De. partment and the needs of the people, or from some other cause. This is a move in the right direction and we sincerely trust that Mir. Perkins will not let up, until the people of the West are given a mail service at least as reg, ular as it was 20 years ago.

ELAosrArp PRECINCT

The Journal Miner says; During the year 1887, the justices of the peace of the entire county drew from the county treasury, for fees, the sum of sl,070.65. Of this sum nearly one half, or s45S, 05 was paid to the justices of Flagstaff precinct During the same period the amount paid by the county for constables fees was s3,270.54, of which s2,7ll.S9 was paid to Flagstaff precinct. This amount is exclusive of the fees paid to the deputy sheriff there, too. It may beadded, that while the amount of fines received from justices courts are in the aggregate, vsry small sum that Flagstaff contributed her full pro rata."
 In view of the fact that during the fiscal year just closed, the Justices Of the peace in Flagstaff precinct remitted as much money for fines, to the board of supervisors as all the other precincts of the county combined, there seems to be no cause for complaint on account of the additional expense incurred by the officials of this precinct through their greater activity in the pursuit aud prosecution of criminals of all classes.
 It must be remembered that Yava- pal County is as large as the whole state of New York, that this is tho largest precinct in the county, and that the county seat is l5s miles distant, all of which causes, com bine to make the mileage bills of this precinct unusually large.
 If, however. the southern portion of the county feels burdened by tho eI- penses of this precinct there are reme- dies which may be effectively applied. The construction of jail in this town which would be place of safe keeping for the prisoners arrested here, and in which short sentences for misdemean- ous might be served, would cut of A large portion of the mileage eIpcndi' lures incurred in conveying prisoners to Pres. o.t, and still more effective rem, edy would be the creation of new coun. ty in northern Yavapai and Flagstaff or Williams might be made the county seat. This would entirely relieve the southern portion of the county, of all burdensome expenses incurred in this precinct, and such solution of the diff ficulty would be eminently satisfactory to the citizens of Flagstaff.
