The case of A. q. Powell, charged
with attempting to influence the actions
of grand juror, which resulted in a
mistrial-.he jury as we understand be-
ing ten for COW elton and two for acquit-
tal-shows that we have among us few
who do not realize the enormity of the
offence 1t will be remembered that Mr.
Powell wrote and sent a letter to a mem
Der of the grand jury soliciting his as
sistance in his behalf, and further seek
ing through him information as to the
toward himself and his cause. These
two men, by their action, have said that
such action is not criminal-but is justi-
fable in that the circumstances provoke
the cause without necessarily showing
an intention of corruption. Ii this be a
fit nucleus or criterion-and We hope it
is not-from which to start the search
for the balances of justice, courts had
better close their doors and permit hon
by other means and save the tax payers
the unnecessary expense of paying ju-
rors, witnesses and other court costs
Ii prisoners can communicate with
gand jurors. and through them entice
the sympathy OF others, and as long as
jurors can be found who will entertain
friendly aud favorably the appeals of
criminals, Judges who know only honor
and integrity are helpless and powerlesS
in enforcing the laws. Law abiding cti-
Zens cannot expect courts or Judges to
protect lives and property as long as
criminals are presumed justiiable in
penetrating the oath of jurors to further
their own cause If the case of 4. O..
Powell be taken as a proper example,
which has just been tried in our District
Court, the Sheriff can fill the county
jail to overtio wing, and still there he not
a criminal indicted. Can men, who have
minds enough to think for themselves,
believe for a moment that criminals can
be indicted or convicted, when they are
allowed the privilege of communicating
with grand jurors, seeking assistance
through past friendly relationships The
jury which could not find conviction in
the Powell case for attempting to corrupt
amember of the grand jury, and through
him makeattempts upon another juror,
may think the ends justified the means,
but they will find in due course of events
that justice cannot exist where crimi-
mails are permitted to tamper with grand
jurors with ;Dpunitg.

Apache County Stock Association

The Apache County Stock Association
met in st. Johns on April 18th and 10Th.
Owing to the absence OF the President
and Vice President, the annual election
of officers was postponed until the Dist
dav of MAY.
After full discussion of the subject,
it was unanimously directed that all re-
wards heretofore offered should be with
drawn, and that no further assessments
should be levied. The income of the
Association being limited to the funds
obtained by the yearly dues of $40. The
Association finds that the offering of a
heavy reward, while it doubtless Sc
cures many convictions of thieves, is too
great bruden on the members of the
Association in the present condition of
the COW business. Every member is
earnestly requested to meet the last as
sessment as promptly as possible, in or
der that all debts against the Association
may be paid, and the officers of it re-
lieved of their responsibility in the mat
ter.
1t is hoped that under this new plan
every stockman of good standing IN the
county will join the Association, and
that by having strong organization the
stOckmen of this county can protect
their interests by working together more
tremendously. Every class of business
men organize and work together for their
mutual advantage and protection, and
the stockmen have always been too care
less or Indifferent in such things, and
have allowed their business to be vir-
tually managed by outsiders.
The question of the Spring Rodeo oc
cupied considerable time. and after sew
trLl meetings the following plan was
agreed upon.
There will be no rodso through the
eastern end of the county, stockmen in
that country claiming that neither horses
nor cattle were in condition to handle.
Such being the ease it was agreed that
there would be two general rodeos this
year.
The first will begin at the Meadows on
May 2lst From the Meadows the whole
ontfit will work the Wabash range to its
east limits. From that point they will
go to the east side OF the c. range and
work across it west to the Meadows
again and then down the Colorado to
Holbrook. From Holbrook the outfit
will move to Navajo Springs and work
back down the Puerco and Leroux Wash
to HOlbrook, and down the Colorado to
Chevellon's Fork, from there across the
mountains to Show Low, and down the
west side OF the Show Low to Six Mile
At Six Mile cross the creek and work
back to the mountains on the east side
Show Low over the c c range. This plan
is the only one that could be agreed
upon. it being the desire of the gentle
men present not to split the outfit from
beginning to end if possible, and at the
same time to Dive towards the noun
tains instead of away from them. As
here arranged there will be no need of
splitting the outfits during the whole
work and it is hoped the plan will prove
satisfactory TO all.
The fall work will begin at the Mead
ows on August 18th, and the plan for the
work will be arranged then and there.

The people do not misunderstood
the present situation as affecting
the tariff, notwithstanding theluird
pictures drawn by the tools of
monopoly and the rattle of organs
of protection. That the receipts of
the government must be curtailed
and the growth of the surplus stop
ped, every sensible person will adj
init; that the treasury doors should
be opened to the gang of graceless
subsidists, educational theorists,
river and harbor national defence
profligates and pension sharks, that
no reduction of taxation may be
effected, none but fools will allow;
that the reduction shall be confined
to whiskey and tobacco, while our
tariff permits monopoly and trust
combinations to fleece the public,
no others than the monopolists,
their organs and those who natural
ly affiliate with them will dare to
advocate. The issue then is whether
there shall be wise and conserva
tive reduction of the tariff through
the Mills bill at this session of Con-
gress, or wether the question shall
be carried to the ballot-boX and
fought out between the people and
the monopolies and trusts. Should
the Mills bill becomes law bus mess
would quickly accommodate itself
to changes that might result, the
agitation that has been going on for
three years would in a measure
subside, and the lines upon which
the Presidential contest will be
waged would in part be drawn
anew. If not, the fight will go on
with renewed zeal, and in the peo-
ple's triumph will be read the doom
of all unholy trusts and merciless
combines to pauperize the nation.
