ILLNESS OF Ex.sENAroR ooNKLING.

ILLNESS OF EX-sENAroR CoNKLING.
 For tue last week the life of Ex-Sen- ator Roscoe Conklmg has hung by a thread, hope having been almost entire iy abandoned several times by his phy- sicians. Latest advioss, however indi- oata very slightly improved condition, anda possibility of recovery. Never theless, the doctors place his chance of living as being only one in ten, so that his condition must indeed be precarious.
 The precursor of his illness seemed simply to be an inhammation of the ear, A strict examination revealed the for nation of an ahscess, the removal of which was deemed immediately neces- sary. To accomplish this, surgical operation was resorted to, which re- vealed serious affection of the brain membranes, when the gravity of Mir. Conkling's case became at once appar- ent.
 He has been delirioua greater part of the week, evincing a decided aversion to taking medicines, The surgical operation, while 1t unquestionably gave the patient his only chance of recovery, is proving damaging drain on his vitality, the resulting suppur- ation seeming to sap the very fountain of life
 It is to be sincerely hoped that a decidedly favorable change may speeJ, fly be reported,

HE ADVANTAGE or ISSUING THE
 CHAMPION ON SATURDAY.

Our esteemed contemporary says that the CHAMPION has been leased to Mir. E. $. Clark, who IS an old newspaper man. So far as the latter part is con cerned, we agree.
 Otherwise we desire to say to our friends that J. G. Tinker and E. $. Clark, so far as the mechanical depart ment is concerned, of which they have charge, cannot be beat i've think by any other two. But in brief, we would say, that the CHAMPION will be the same as it always was an advocate of the interests of Flagstlf, trying always u advance the interests of its people, and whenever it is leased or soli to anyone, it will be publicly announced by it's pre- sent editor and proprietor, Geo, H. Tinker.

DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.

The Courier commends the withhold ing of $500 salary from Chief Justice Wright on the score of democratic economy"
 About the only thing beneficial to Arizona which the present admins tration has done was the appointment of Chief Justice Wright, who stands today as one of the brightest lawyers, ablest jurists and most upright judges who has ever graced the Arizona bench. The Republican party believes io economy, and is ready to commend its practice by the Democratic party, but Republicans will have no sym pathy, with that species of economy which withholds from the ablest and and most faithful servants of the peo- pie fair compensation for their ser vice,

It is about the time of year that those who have fat offices to which they were elected by the people, and largely through the influence of the press, begin to elbow their way to their county paper in most congenial way, and the newspaper falls into state of reflection as to what his harvest has been, and how well he has been paid in the line of patronage from those same fat salaried officers, for whose election he worked with might and main, with a hope of at least a partial reward for his services,
 The newspaper man, like others, learns by experience. It sometimes takes him long time, however, to learn that politicians as a rule have little use for newspaper men save to use them as stepping stones.
 Hence their promises of loyalty to the interests of the party is often warped after the election to suit their own interests, irrespective of the in terests of others.
 Such, however, be they Democrats or Republicans, arc short lived, and when she press is true to the party, and it5 own interests, it will not fail about this time of the political year, to state the facts clearly, so that he who reads may understand.
 The press Is the reserve power in politics, and when it fails to come up in the heat of battle the best of gen- erals get left and defeAt follows.-Tuc- son Star.

THE INDIAN WAR CLAIMS.

If the bill now before the House Of
Representatives becomes a law, the
claims Of the State against the United
States can and will be adjusted. The
claim of the State is for money expended
during the Seminole war.
The amount found due and allowed by
the Secretary Of War was 1854, 6S4. On
this sum there has been no interest paid.
The State had to borrow the money and
pay interest, and it is but just that the
United States should allow interest upon
this sum from January 1st, 1857.
The United States holds in the Indian
Trust Fund 1885,, 900 of Florida bonds,
which draw seven per cent. interest.
All money that has been received by the
United States from school or swamp
land has been credited upon this interest
account.
A settlement of this war claim would
bring to the State something over $3.50, COO
which would be subject to such DISPOSE
ton as the Legislature might make.
In addition to this amount, which
would come to the State proper, all
sums of money that have been paid to
the United Sattes for school and swamp
land, and which have been credited on
account of accrued interest ON the bonds
held by the Indian Trust Fund, would
be paid to the funds to which they be
long. 1t is greatly to the interest of the
State to have the bill now before Con
gress become law.
Certainly there are advantages suf
ficient to make it worth the while oI
every Florida representative in the two
houses of Congress to use his best exer
tions in behalf of the bill. One trouble
is that Florida has only four votes OF
joint ballot. The matter should be KEEP
alive until justice is done the State.
