 "The indications are patent to man up a tree, as we'll as man in a news paper office, that corruption fund is to be, or has already been started for use Tn the coming legislature, and it is probable that desperate efforts will be made to use it with view of thwartiag just legislation or to aid in the passage of such bills as may not be consistent with the true in terest of the territory. Heretofore such funds have been used with open effront- cry, but our advice is that the holders of the sack go slow, as it is the purpose of the Citizen to state specifically such facts in relation thereto, as may come within the scope Of its knowledge or observa- tion. This may be plain talk but the course of the Citizen, In the premises, will not be less so."
 We copy the above from the Tucson Citizen, of which Herbert B. Penney, member-elect of the Fifteenth legisla- ture, is the manager. As the sack re- ferred to IS for the purpose of corrupt ing legislators for the purpose of secur- ing the removal of the capital-legisla- tion not consistent with the true interests of the territory-we hope that MT. Ten ney's voice and vote will be found on the side of right and jnstice and against such legislation.

Tho Popular Vote.

The demscratic newspapers are as' suming to derive some consolation from the fact that, while their party has lost the presidency and congress. it has a larger per cent of the popular vote than tho republicans have. This is uncom- meulychesp comfort In 1884 the dem ecratic plurality on the popular vote was Ga, ,68s; that is what Cleveland had over Blaine. This year Cleveland's plurality ever Harrison is figured at 96.sS6 which shows the growing strength of the de- mocraey. The greatest care is taken by our esteemed contemporaries not to pre- vent any analysis of the figures.
 The fact is that in the seven extreme southern states, where there was practi- cally no republican contest, and where the republican vote was not polled. the democratic gains aggregate in round numbers Ia8, 1000. These states are Ala bama. Georgia, Louisiana. Florida, Mis- sissippi. South Carolina and Texas. Of the great gains in these seven states which are not at all significant of whole some democratic growth. but are the re- suit of intimidation and ballot frauds the democracy lost in the rest ef the country 100000. The democratic gain in Louisiana alone, where the election went by default, is not more than the net gain in the whole country.-Ex.

The Gazette and Herald seem to have been bit in a very tender spot by the
 JoURNAL-MINER's expose of the Phenlx
 corruption fund sheme te remove the cap- ital The latter fippantly attributes 1t to
 whisky. while the Gazette thinks ii a reflection on the members-elect of the
 Fifteenth legislature The JOURNAL
 MINERS information was obtained from
 gentlemen equally as reliable as either the editor of the Gazette or Herald, and
 by sayir., this we do not desire to cast any reflection on either of them, neither have we any desire to bandy words
 with them of a personal character as they both have seen fit to indulge in.
 Why the press of Phenixs hould attempt to deny or evade this proposition. when
 its citizens openly boast of their inten- tions, when MT. Orme in public
 speech during the campaign proclaimed,
 his intentions publicly, to remove the capital to Phenix, We are at loss to understand If there IS any refec- tions on the character or purchasable qualities of legislators, to expose the scheme mapped out by Phenix, in
 this matter, the blame lies with the
 people, net with this paper in exposing
 it. Now that their purpose has been shown up, should they still adhere to their palace car scheme, honest, con- scieniious legislators, whether they favor
 or oppose capital removal will do we'll to avoid their magnificent hospitality.
 The JnURNAL-MINER knows whereof 1t speaks and speaks from the card on the question, and no amount of evasive wheedling on the part of the Phenix papers can deceive it. While on this
 subject we would suggest to our vora- cious brethern of the Salt river val ley, tha, if they would raise fund to eSsGSt tti idshVdO (OL- nection between the two towns. they
 would be doing something of infinitely more value to their material interests than securing half dozen territorial capitals. Our people, both in Prescott and surrounding mining camps, are now sending te California and the east fer their grain. hay. eggs, fruits, potatoes
 etc, while the farmers of Salt river val. ley lack market for the same products of their farms. In exchange for them we could supply them with lumber, building stone and other products Our people could go there te winter, and theirs could come here to escape the intolerable heat of summer, and en- joy our cool, health-givlng mountain air Phenix has already two of the public institutions of the territory lo- cated in her valley and should be satis fled with them.

all democratic territories on the same ground. There is no reason why re- publican cengressmen should not'be frank in this matter, as the democracy set them a precedent, Tn its refusal to admit Dakota, although lacking in frank ness to admit its real motive.
 The supreme court of Pennsylvania has rendered a remarkable decision relative to trials of persons charged with murder. IL was decided that disagreement of the jury in murder trials was equivalent to an acquittal, and that the accused person cannot be again arraigned for trial after enc jury has failed to agree. The ground for the decision IS the constitution of the United States. which says that a man cannot more than once be put in jeopardy of life and limb"
 A petition signed by 1900 residents of Zeigler precinct, Orangeburg. county, South Carolina. presented to the senate recites that they endeaversd to comply with the registration law of the state, but were prevented that on the day of election they were refused the right to vote. A letter accompanying the pe- tition which Chandler also presented, stated that 2,a93 voters of Orangeburg county were thus deprived of exercis- ing the right Of franchise. The names were taken at the polls as fast as the owners were refused the privilege of deposit,ng their ballots. The petition and letter were referred to the com mlitee on privileges and elections.
 Pos,master-General Dickinson said to an associated press reporter that within the last few weeks he had re- ceived the resignation of considerable number of presidential and iourth-class postmaSters with the request that re- publicsns whom they name and recom-- mend be appointed in their places. He says no nomination had been or would De made for the purpose of forestalling the incoming administration by aP- polntment of republicans. MT. Dick nson is correct too, the republican who only hopes to ge, office through demo- cratic endorsement and recommends tion must certainly be little eff color politically, and not worthy of ar appoint men, from either party.

 The Nogales Sunday Herald pub lished by J. ). Chatham. has the fsl- lowing concerning the commissienes of immigration
 "If the next legislature should ~ipe out the office of territorial commissioned of immigration and provide for . com missioner in each county oe empower boards of supervisors to appoint such an officer, then all the counties would be fairly represented and their resources properly heralded abroad"
 The suggestion IS an excellent one The office of commissioners of immigra- non has never been of much practical benefit to the territory in general, being mostly confined to one or two sections in its operations. If the legislature should continue to think the expendi- ture of money fer the purpose of secur- ing immigration a wise investment. which it is. if wisely expended, let them make certain appropriation for that purpose, and then let it he apportioned to the various counties in the territory, pro rata to the assessable property re- turned by them. and make provisions for its expenditure in non-partisan manner, either through special editions of the various newspapers carefully pre- pared showing the resources of the counties. or through other publications. The money appropriated in this way should not be used as partisan grease. however. in building up partisan papers with its patronage, but honestly publish ing to the world the advantages of the territory.
 This plan would virtually resolve it. self into letting each county do its ad- vertislng of resources, and 1t may bc asked what objection to do away en- tirely with territorial appropriation. and let each county furnish its own funds, to which. after all, there could be very little objection. But by all means let the next legislature take some steps in the matter either to ab fish the ofhcc entirely, or to make provisions whereby the territory at large and not few favored sections would reap the benefit of the appropriation.

Because forsosth the JOURNAL
 MINER has not joined in the tirade ol
 rhetorical abuse of the Atlantic C Pa.
 c,hc railroad, it is accused by its morn.
 ing contemporary of being railroad
 organ, and wearing a railroad collor.
 The Atlantic & Pacific railroad is no
 more to this paper than any other tax
 payer or patron, and we are not of that
 class that believes in the abuse of a
 corporation simply because it it such.
 While such policy. we admit, is very
 popular with a certain class of people,
 we are not courting popularity In that
 manner, preferring to stand by honest convictions. A certain stock firm in this county, whose members are among the most prominent citizens of this county, few years. refused to pay their taxes and took the matter to court.
 Why did not our contemporary apply the same policy to them it does to the At lantic & Pacific railroad1 The JouR
 NAL MINER, pursues the same policy of consistency towards the railroad that it did to them. They thought they had a good case and although the dscision of the court was aga inst them this paper still thinks that they had just grounds for their refusal to pay the taxes. and appeal to the courts. Whether the At lantic & Pacific railroad believes in their position being tenable. or not they are fighting It with all the force and energy born of honest conviction. and have the means and inclination to take it to the highest tribunal in the land the supreme court of the United Statea Tbis means that the county will be de- prived of all revenue from five to seven years, even should decision be finally given in their favor. A great many large :axpayers favor the conpromise made by the board of supervisors, under the cir; mentioned above. believing, ls they do. that the amount of taxes agreed upon is better to the county nov han the full amount would be in six e ,r seven years The only difficulty in he way of their paying tho amount greed upon Is the question of receiving legal and valid receipt a per the erms of compromise.

THE TWO BENTLEYS.

Sedgwick county has at least two
Bentleys who are figuring in the county
campaign, and from what we hear these
Bentleys have, like the two gentlemen
of Verona, lost their identity with some
of the voters of the county.
One of the Bentleys is a railroad attor-
ney, not only the Santa Fe's attorney,
but a rank out and out Democrat who
has been stumping the county for Cleve-
land and free trade. His name is Fred
w. Bentley and he is no relation what
ever of o. H. Bentley, the Republican
nominee for the state senate, and nothing
like our Bentley in any particular further
than they are both citizens of Wichita
and are both lawyers.
And this reminds us of another thing.
There has been something said by some
of the Democratic speakers about our
Bentley, being a railroad attorney.
There is nothing in the charge further
than that any lawyer who had done spe-
cific work for a railroad company might
be charged as a railroad attorney. 0.
II. Bentley has done no railroad bust
ness Of any character since last April
Last year the Frisco railway company's
attorneys employed him to take charge
of the right of way condemnation deeds,
ETC., of the Midland road, TO see that
everything was concluded and arranged
in legal form. and which was only
such work as any honorable lawyer
would undertake. When that work was
concluded he received his pay and sew
cred his connection, since which time he
has had nothing whatever to do with the
Midland's legal affairs or with those of
any other road.
Don't get Badly Bentley mixed up
with Bentley, the railroad attorney.

where the Hungate family was muir
dered and some thirty-two miles from
Denver. Among the occasional visitors
at my ranch was one Tony Shingleholtz,
who saw the smoke of the burning Hun
gate cabin and rode to the scene of the
murder and discovered the body Of Hun
gate scalped and warm, some 100 feet
from the house, which was still burning
and where he found the bodies of the
family. Being alone Tony gave spurs to
his horse and soon reached a cattle
camp, where the alarm was given.
the entire country was aroused
The bodies were conveyed to
Denver, where the murder created the
widest excitement, and the avenging
force, commanded by Chivington, was
soon under way. It was feared that or
ders might be sent from Denver com
manding return, or at least forbidding
massacre, hence no messenger was
permitted to reach headquarters. The
Indians were found on the Big Sandy
where they had scooped rifle pits out Of
the sand. The equaws fought as dcsper-
ately As the braves, but 10 no purpose;
not soul was left to tell the tale.

firmative. He brought the scalp, but
from that day forth she would have
nothing to do with him. ii.
