W. H. HARDY has been a mem


 Der of two sessions of the legisla- ture, and a candidate for office at every election since the organiza- tion of Arizona into a territory. And taking his action in the Eff teenth as a criterion, it is easy to arrive at the conclusion that should the people of Mohave county be devilish enough to return him 1.-two times" more, it would kill him as dead as a nit, as already he is af- fiicted with an attack of rabies, sup plemented by a violent case of ''cacoethes scribendi." Have pity, oh, ye people of Mohave, and do not sacrifice a poor harmless "critter" upon the altar of your ghoulish spite.

The Armament is Too Heavy.

An official report of the British admiralty in the recent English na- val manGuvrcs, has very practical bearing on some new vessels in the United States navy. The Yorktown, Concord and Bennington, are iden- tical with the Archer class of the English navy. Six of our best ves- sells took part in the man9uvres. Concerning them the commanders and admirals reported unanimous ly that the armament is too heavy. The only vessel of this class which experienced anything like heavy sea while going on a trail trip, was going at the rate of 10 or II knots against moderate swell, when the sea was aboard which carried away everything moveable on the fore castle. The committee recommends lighter armament to be substituted and other changes made. The crit icism was bought up and argument advanced by our naval officials at the time the construction on gum boats was undertaken.

St. Johne, Thureday, April 13.

OLD "Kronlck Kandldate," Tn a recent issue of the Phoenix Herald, under the caption of 1.-Two Ways to Do It." takes a retrospective view of Arizona'S political history. The burthen of "K. Ks" song, seems to be a senseless tirade against everything not Pecksniffian, in which he endeaYors to make it ap- pear that when Democrats were in power, matters were strictly run in accordance with the rules of the "demnition bow-wows." But, so soon as the gang of political Peck sniffs, like unto himself, gat them selves into power, then it was: "Oh, Lord we are so good. Oh, yes ]; upon reflection, we are very, very good p And being so extremely good, we would not steal saw-mill or toll-road, nor anything else we could not carry away.
 Parties unacquainted with our territorial politics, after reading his column or more of hog-wash, would most naturally arrive at the conclu- sion that, since the organization of this territory, it has been under more Democratic administrations than it has under Republican ones i; whereas, the reverse of this is true, for as every one knows, we have had but one Democratic territorial ad- ministration since its organization. This being true, and its truth is be- yond question, then Mir. "Khronic" if there has been so much dishon- est government for Arizona in the years past, pray whose fault is it, if not the aforesaid Pecksniffs? "The Gazette wants to know what MohaVe county had against the Territory, that she sent Hardy to the coun- cil?" and in reply to this question, "K. K" says, "because he { (Khronic) is not afraid to call things by their right name. He calls horse a horse, and an ass an ass." Old K. K. might have gone further and said, with all due deference to the proprieties, "an ass an ass" an assi- nine ass, the typicalness of which, vide my legislative career, and clos, ing his screed with the usual and fitting egregious ego ct ego,

Gov. WoLFLEY is having honors CD showered upon him. At Flag staff, Yavapai county, the other day the people of that town belittled themselves sufficiently, as to engage in an effigy hanging of the Cover nor. No man possessing any self respect, or the semblance of man. hood, would be guilty of such con- temptible conduct. The class of people who indulge in this sort of thing, do not cast, by their acts, any reflection upon the Governor, or any one else, whom they may hate.

The rejection of Murat Halstead's nomination has raised great Ma tional issue which can not be dis posed of in star-chamber sessions and which will be decided the right way by the honest votes ofthe com mon people. MT. Halstead was re- iected not because he was unfit, but simply because he dischaged his duty as the conductor of a public journal fully and fearlessly by tell ing the truth about MT. Payne's election. If this, in the opinion of the Senate, is a disqualification for public office, it is we'll that the peo- pie know it. It is we'll that the fact has been so forcibly presented that it will attract the attention of the whole people. For it is high time that they proceed to reform, not ed itors who tell the truth, but the Sen ate which supresses 1t; not those who oppose frauds and briberies, but Senators who attempt to bribe the press to condone corruption. An honest, fearless, and. outspoken press is more essential to the exist ence of the Government and per manency of free institutions than is Senate which descends to abus- ing it's prerogative to wreak ven geance on courageous critics of it's corrupt members and its shirking of plain duties. The people want free public discussion more than they want fcssilized and pusillani- nous Senators. They can get along without corrupt Senators, but not without honest editors.-Minne- apolis Tribune.

 Chili owes this country and won't pay because we have no navy to en- force the demand. This isn't any particular reason why we should have a navy, but if you happen to meet a Chilly man, and there Is no policeman about, and you feel in good shape-why, well-biff!
 The two foregoing items were clipped from the editorial columns of the Tombstone Prospector of April 8th. In looking over our De troit Free Press, we ind the same identical items in it. This may be what is called a Singular coinci- dence," or it may be that the De troit Free Press filched the item from the Prospector without giving credit therefor. Some of those eastern editors are cheeky anyway.

THE Senate of the United States is fast becoming poodle corpora tion, and a disgrace to the country. It is nearly time that the people should arise in their wrath, and for ever wipe out this body of million aire corruptionists. This country can easily exist without the United States Senate, but it cannot exist in free state, without an indepen- dent press, People of the United States which of the two will you choose.

PROFESSOR MAX MULLER in the Nineteenth Century, argues that we cannot "think without words" He says. "no language can be said to be spoken unless every word of it is meant to be understood ;" still, notwithstanding all this, one can think without words, otherwise the two must necessarily be cotempo- neous, when 1t is evident that thought is altogether separate and distinct act of the brain, and as such must precede words. In other words, "words" are simply images of thought If Muller's be the cor rect theory, then there was no thought before there was language, and against this hypothesis our own senses teach us that language, or the faculty of expression in words, is simply an art that has been acquir- ed. Now, professor, do you main tain that "thought'' is an acquired art? Taking image in the sense of percept, says the Professor, 1, for my own part, am perfectly con- vinced thGt no image is possible without name" In other words, he who for the first time sees some thing, whatever it may be, of which he is ignorant, and because he has no word for it, he cannot think of it it must not even exist, simply be- cause it is seen for the first time. We may even go step further" " says this eminent professor, and say, "that without an original strat- um of hierogylphics, or ideographs, followed by strata of determinative and syllable slgns, no phonetic al- phabet whatever, not even visible speech, would ever have arisen" :" This being true; then from whence came the first idea? If the syllable alphabet required hieroglyphic or ideographic antecedents; then, what or whence the antecedent of the hierogylph or ideograph?
 Your there-must-be-something-be- fore theory is untenable. The Pro- lessor even admits one single ex- ception to his theory, and that one case was an ignorant negro. Go, take a large sized tumble unto your self Professor, and perhaps in time you will come to learn that all things are brought about by evolu- tion. Thought the original-lan- guage the art.

Fordyce, Ark, April 5,-Frank Shulze has been arrested for help ing his cousin to murder J. R. King. his wife and six children in Titus County, Texas, in December last. Frank Shulze's cousin has confess ed that he killed King and his wife, and says Frank killed the SIX chil- dren with an axe and then set fire to the house. The children were from two to fourteen years of age.
 It appears that the cousin was the son-in-law of King, having run away with Kings eldest daughter, forged a marriage license and mar ried her. It was the fear of being prosecuted for the forgery that caused him to murder King. Frank Shulze, who was arrested here, came to Dallss County in January with John Parham, and has since been living with Mr. Parham. He says he can prove that he was forty-five miles c~ ;.. the time of the kill ing, but Sheriff Dickson says that he has positive proof that he was seen near Kings house late that evening.

 No matter what Clark Churchill may do in the entertainment of the pew Governor, the table that Gov. Wolhey will invite the "gum-stick- um" otfice-holders to will be loaded with fruit as mythical and worth less as the apples of SOdom.- Phoenix Tribune.
 We have heard of the "apple oi Adam" and those of the Dead Sea, but never once heard of "the apples of Sodom. Perhaps Brer Reed has reference to that certain kind of fruit called sodomic berries.

IE THE Fortnightly Review. Mir

IN THE Fortnightly Review, Mir. B. L. Linton quotes the curious ex- animation of Annie Ascough, who stoutly denied the doctrine of trans substantiation, and when seized and taken before the Church au- thorlties, answered her interrogator without hesitation or prevarication. Her examination was by the Lord Mayor, sitting with the council, and was as follows:
 Sir Martin Bowes, sitting with the council. as most meet for his WIS dom, and seeing her stand upon life and death, I pray you,' quoth he, my lords, give me leave to talk with this woman.' Leave was granted. Lord Major: Thou fool ish woman, sayest thou, that the priests cannot make the body of Christ?' A. Ascough: I say so my lord. For l have read that God made men, but that man can make God 1 never yet read nor 1 sup pose ever shall read it. Lord Major, No, thou foolish woman. After the words of consecration is it not the Lords body?' A. Ascough: No ; 1t is but consecrated bread or sac ramental bread Lord MaiorG What if a mouse eat it after con secration? What shall become of the mouse? What sayestthou, thou foolish woman?' Annie Ascough What shall become of her say you, my lord? Lord Major: I say, that the mouse is damned A. Ascough : 'Alack poor mouse.' By this time my lords heard enough of my Lord Majors divinity; and perceiving that some could not keep in their laughing, proceeded to the butchery and slaughter that they intended before they came thither.''
 The foregoing IS an apt illustra- tion of the present religion, as it was only a few years ago. Can any one doubt, but what this same reli- zion would be just as blood-thirsty and cruel to-day as it was at the time the above mentioned occur renee took place, had it the same power and conditions. Its history is one of blood, crime, and of out race

SMALL boy, whose father is an Arizona politician: Papa, what is a legislator?"
 A. P.-Well, my son, a legisla- tor is a-ahem-a man whose first duty is to draw his pay; and his second duty, to vote himself ten dollars worth of postage stamps.
 s. B.-My goodness What does he do with so many postage stamps, papa?"
 A. P.-What does he do with them? We'll, he is supposed to use them for the benefit of his constit- uents; but my son, an Arizona leg islator is not such a fool, he puts lem down in his jeans for future use.
 S. B.-Will the stamps stick him?
 A. P.-No, my son, but the peo- pie will stick him-in the neck at the next general election, if he is fool enough to give lem a chance.
