IMMEDIATE steps should be taken to rectify mail matters between Navajo and St. Johns. If the post master at Navajo cannot distribute the mails before seven o'clock, the hour when the blackboard leaves, then let him vacate and have his place filled by some one who can, and if no one can be found to ac- cept the office, which is indeed "a thankless one, tEen have the mails for St. Johns, Springerville, Nutri- oso, Alpine and Luna Valley dis tributed on the trains as has been done heretofore. It is a matter oi the greatest importance, for the peo- ple will want to know what timber will be put into Harrison's cabinet, and what provision will be made for the chronic Republican office seekers in Apache county, who were repudiated by the people last week, and especially are we deeply and seriously concerned as to who will be postmaster at St. Johns.

ApAcHE county has shown by the resuit of her recent election to be the foremost Democratic county of the Territory. The Democrats have elected their ticket from Council man to Surveyor by majority never reached at any prior cleo tion. When 1t is known that this is the first attempt made in draw ing party lines since the organiza- ton of the county, and it's complete victory over the so-called Peoples ticket" consisting of two sorehead Democrats and the rest Republi- cans, assisted by the efalgent light of seventeen-year old Chicago ward politician, an ex-police judge of Texarkana and the votes of the prisoners in the county jail; also the handsome majorities given Smith and Orme in proportion tc vote probably not reached by any other county it will be seen that Apache is the Democratic county oI the Territory.

A COMMUNICATION in the Winslow

Armstrong, the late Rtpubli can candidate for Supervisor ant says ''the statements contained 1T the HERALD are untrue, entirely without foundation, and were made maliciously and for political eff fcct.0
 The fact is the HERALD stated what, at the time, it believed to be true and still so believes. ranch jumping business was told us by two or more of Armstrong's neigh bors. lnen of unimpeachable verac. ity and integrity. "Made malicious ly and for political effect" Not a bit of it, for we bear no malice against any one i'll this county, al though there are some for whom we have no special affection or par tiality. "For political effect" most certainly. Does any one suppose that in n brief campaign like the last. We had ammunition to throw away-that We did not write and publish in the interest of our friends and in condemnation of our Repub- lican enemies, but always truth fully? It is true that i'll writing facts against Armstrong We were, as Andy Johnson would say "shoot- ing at a dead duck" See the ma iority against him as given in an other column, especially at Taylor where he lives.
 It is charged that Mir. Johnston was the author of the article which touched the quick of Armstrong.

The tanning industry will prove to be one of the most important in Arizona, says the Tucson Star. Leather made by the process of the tannen root is of superior quail ity and brings the highest market price. Thousands of tons of the tannen bulb are produced annually throughout Southern Arizona. It is singular that Americans have been so long discovering it's wond- erful virtues for more than a hun- dred years the Mexicans all through Mexico, and especially in Sonora, have, in their primitive way, been utilizing this tannen root in mak- ing leather. And now that Ameri- can enterprise has taken hold of this new means in the manufacture of leather, the industry will no doubt grow to large proportions. In future issue the Star will give a short description of the process used by Mexicans for many years in the application of the tannen

Rivers And Valleys.


 The valleys of most rivers are forest-clad. While thesef8sests have the gigantic growth charaeteristic of fertile district?&intae tropics and the temperate zonssg or take tho shape of stupted moods, such as extend far tesward tho poles, they in all cases form beneath their branch es, and albote the soil, thick, spongy cdating, which forms nat ural reseegoir fort rain waters. In nlsst regions, this forest-sponge has asdepkh of more than a foot it esinfrequently attains thickness of two feet or more. It can com- monly take into it's interstices rain-fall of three or four inches in depth, or from one-sixth to one tenth the ordinary annual supply. This water is slowly yielded to the brooks ;; 1t often requires weeks for a single torrential rain entirely to escape into the open'channels which bear it to the sea. Moreover, the fallen trunks and branches of the trees clog the forestshaded rivulets, making little pools, which serve still luther to restrain the outgoing of the waters. Our beavers, at one time the most widely distributed of our larger animals, at first making avail of these natural ponds formed by fallen timber, learned in time to construct more artful dams so as to retain extensive basins of water. Thus, in the natural condition of the North American rivers, as we'll as those of most other countries before man began to clear away the forests, the woods constituted great system of reservoirs, in which the rains were retained into, the period of intervening droughts.- Scribner's Magazine.

Why, certainly, the HERALD we'll knows, and admits the fact to be that if Armstrong and another of his kind were elected Supervisors, the cake of all honest taxpayers would be dough for the Board would be run by Morrison, Nelson and other "Eye-Openers, who have written, published and proclaimed that the county officers of Apache county, themselves ex- cepted, are thieves, robbers and cor ruptionists, and that the county government is ''run by ring"

Chinese Have no Nerves.

The North China Herald says the quality of "nervelessness" diStin- guishes the Chinaman from the Flu ropean. The Chinaman can write

GOVERNOR DAVID B. HILL has

GOVERNOR DAVID B. HILL has been reelected Governor of New York by handsome majority On the occasion of a recent serenade at the executive mansion in Albany he paid the following just tribute to the President; Our success in the gubernatoriat contest Is marred however by the shadow of the na- tional disaster. In common with every democrat I greatly regret the. defeat of President Cleveland in state and in the nation. He de- served better at the hands of the people of the country. Honest, brave and courageous, he gallantly led his party in the great contest for tariff reform and suffers defeat, owing to false clamor, unjust pre- judices, unfair representations and gigantic and combined efforts of all the monopolists of the country. He did his duty as he understood 1t, regardless of personal or political considerations and he should have been sustained by taxpayers, con sumers and the masses of the peo- pie whose true interests he desired to subserve and whose rights he unselfishly endeavored to maintain It is not now necessary or profit able to inquire whether the issue which he so boldly made might not more wisely have been earlier pre- sented or postponed to later per iod; it is sufficient to say that as trusted leader of the democratic party, after full and careful consid eration of the whole subject, he deemed it best and that the inter ests of the county required that the issue should be made at this crisis, and with the patriotic and deliber- ate conclusion when once reached there should have been prompt so-

THE Review crowed lustily last week over the fact that Alfred Ruiz had been elected Justice of the Peace by five majority, and stated it was the only crumb of comfort the Republicans had in St. Johns. We fail to see where the crow comes in, for if We remember correctly, Ruiz receivd one hundred and eigh- ty-fve majority over Nelson for Re corder at the election in 1886. The falling off in his vote of one hun dred and eighty, certainly cannot be very large crumb of comfort to the Republicans, unless they hope, in the future, to successfully side-track him. Eighteen imported voters voted for Alfred,

IFTHE Review and Winslow News had devoted more of their time and energy to legitimate campaign work and the interests of the Republican candidates, and less to attempting to villify, abuse and misrepresent private citizens, they would proba- bly, have accomplished more, and been more gratefully remembered. Two or more gentlemen, against whom their venomous shafts were particularly directed, took no part in the election at ali, One was at home and did not vote, and another was in California. We hope to hear no more about official corruption and "rings" from our county CO., temporaries, for a time at least. The election is over and let us have peace.

FROM the 6tockifaan We 10 affi that the entire independent ticket vas elected in Graham county, which we admit is quite surprise, as the Democracy in that county, under the leadership of Little Steve" had never suffered defeat, and was sup posed to be invincible. Bad man. agement and political family es- arrangement brought about the re- suit, for Graham is as certainly Democratic as Apache. A. M. Pat terson for District Attorney and s. W.

 That peculiar political system called "knifng" is under full swing among the Herald candidates. Ow- ing to the amount of dissatisfaction existing, every nominee is working for his own success and offering to trade in any way. Political treach- cry is condemned by all honest men but nothing better could be expected from the tools of the manipulators of the democratic CD ticket. Simp- son and Flynn will be sacrificed by their enemies, the gang, and they should not hope for endorsement from their enemies. Creaghe knows that the Mormons will scratch him on election day and get even for his unofficial conduct towards John Hunt eight years ago, and as a consequence he will trade Lesuenr and every Mormon on the ticket in q vain endeayor to be elected. And so it goes. Every man for himself and the devil take the hindermost." :" -Winslow News.
 THE Winslow News published the above in its last issue before the election. The results show that "the peculiar political system call ed 'kniing' under full swing among the HERALD candidates" did not prevail to any alarming extent, ex- cept at the precinct where the News editor was defeated for Justice of the Peace.
 There is no doubt but that the News and other henchmen of the Republican ticket, fondly hoped that the Democratic candidates would resort to "knifng," and de- luded themselves into the belief that some scrub Democrats had been nominated. But the result shows the contrary. Some candi- dates received larger majorities than others, but that is always to be ex- pected. When the News becomes better acquainted with Simpson and Finn, Creaghe and Lsegueur. 1t will learn what sortof llsber iis used ' i ' Y iIIIII ' \ X |||| x z nIIlAs on election day; the whole ticket was elected, We are grateful land thankful ,and doubtless in sack cloth and mesquite ashes the News repents of its political folly. As political prophet our cotempora- " is not a success. Perhaps Col. Brown, late candidate for the Coun- ell, on the Republican ticket, can tell the News something about "that peculiar political system called knifing."
