We select the following items from
the last issue of the Arizona Kicker:
NOT APPRECIATED.
The efforts of hundred or more of
our citizens to make up the lack ofnat-
ural scenery in and around the town by
standing on the corners with legs
crossed and hands in pockets is not ap-
preciated by those competent to judge of
effects. 1t is pretty hard for red-eyed
old squat like Judge Harrison to pose in
such way as to pass for noble cata-
ract, and the efforts of Mai. Phillbrick
to pass himself off as substitute for a
precipice 500 feet high bring ridicule
on the whole county. Gentlemen, your
proper pose is in a lock-step line. We
are advising you as a friend.
WE CAN'T. SEE 1T.
Our contemporary down the street is
tickled almost to death because Maj.
Bilden has been appointed postmaster
the editor of the Kicker got left. We
can't see anything to laugh at. We
were the best man by long odds among
the twenty applicants, and if Wana-
maker couldn't see it the fault is not
ours. We expected to get the appoint
ment and ought to have had it. The
man who did get it doesn't know
enough to run a peanut stand, and if
the Kicker doesn't make his life miser-
able for the next year, then we don't
want cent.
AS for our knock-kneed. bald-headed,
squint-eyed contemporary, who wears a
grin on his phiZ, we will see him later.
We are fishing to get hold of the chattel
mortgage given on hiss Office three
months ago, and if we succeed we will
hear something drop.
WE STAND NEUTRAL.
The editor of the Kicker has been
asked to express his opinion on the con-
duct of President Harrison in furnish
ing fat places to SO many of his rela-
tives. We stand neutral on that ques-
ton. having an application on file in
missioner for this reservation. If we
don't get the appointmentw we shall have
very ydecidedO opinion OH Mr.. Harrison s
nepotism. If we do get it we shan't bite
the hand that feeds us.
ONE MORE CHANCE.
Billy DObsOn, proprietor of the Blue
Front saloon and gambling house, was
the first subscriber to the Kicker. He
encouraged us, and occasionally lent us
money, and our gratitude has prevented
us from drawing public attention to his
den of iniquity. We can't promise to
hold off much longer. We shall give
him one more chance to reform the
place. and if he. doesn't improve it we
shall give him three or four columns
per week. of the hottestkind of IAN
guage. Gratitude is all right up to Ger
tain limit. Beyond that an editor owes
a duty to the public.
: r7t.s., PLEASE EXCUSE.
Our proofreader was off on drunk
last week, and our two printers were
called to Tombstone to see their mother
die. We were very busy in our gro
.cery, harness shop. hardware and milli-
merry store, and the Kicker did not pre-
sent the appearance and interest we
could have. wished for. We had
to chuck in six columns of old patent
medicine ads, and the first page was the
same. matter as the week previous, but
these things are trifles incidental to the
business of a great publishing house.
We trust that subscribers will overlook
all mistakes aud encourage us to greater
efforts by.prOmptly renewing their sub
scfiptions. ,.
