LOUD and long have been the plants
Of our citizens Of all classes and condi-
tions because at the very end of July,
the first hot wave of the season had
struck the semi-tropics, thereby render
ing the temperature a little uncomfort-
able. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Men,
day tell the entire tale of woe. The
mercury has ranged at little above 90
degrees, and on Saturday run up to the
extreme point of SO. Last night the
northwest trade-wind which usually pre-.
walls in summer asserted it's rightful
sway and the cheated term" has come
to a full stop. 1t will be mild
enough today. We are ungrateiul
to fret so much, because forsooth the
clerk Of the weather for a day or two
withdraws his usual benefcent dispen
sation from US in order to make us the
better appreciate the unparalleled bles
sings we enjoy. We all slept under
blankets last night, and those of us who
foolishly and precipitately doffed oul
undergarments will be glad to don then
again today. There is no climate OF
earth like ours.

SAN FRANCISCO has increased her as
sessment roll by $4,000, 900 over the
figures of a year ago. That is doing
something, taking one short step towards
equalizing her taxes with those of many
other counties in the State. The total
assessment put on the real property and
Improvements theron in the Bay City
this year is $240, 100000 The assess.
ment of Los Angeles county this year, a.
the figures foot up on the Assessors s
books, is $l00,000,000. Round num-
bers are given all through
this article. These figures tell the
whole story of the wholesale manner
in which the metropolis evades the pay.
ment OF her proper quota of taxes into
the State Treasury. 1t has only to be
stated for the dullest intellect to see how
absurd is the proposition that the value
of the realty and improvements of San
Francisco is not one and one.half times
as much as that of the county of
Los Angeles. The city OF Los Angeles is
assessed at one-fifth as much value as
is the city of San Francisco. The Bay
City claims five times the population we
claim. Her area is five times as large a.
ours. While we have many notably fine
business structures and many costly
residences in the city, what are they
compared with the hundreds of such,
yes, thousands of the latter class of
edifices which crown the heights OF the
metropolis of the State. No doubt
the County Board of Supervisors will do
this year as they did both last year and
the year before, go before the State
Board of Equalization, and try to get
some small adjustment of this matter !;
and as surely will they be met by the
most bitter opposition on the part of San
Francisco.

OLYMPIA, W. T., July 29.-The con-

of the proposition to put the name of the
Deity into the preamble to the constitu-
tion. The preamble as reported
reads "We, the people of the
State of Washington, to pre-
serve our rights, do ordain this
constitution" Turner wanted inserted:
Profoundly grateful to Almighty God,
and invoking His favor and guidance"
etc. 1t was opposed by several speakers
as being unnecessary. Each of them
professed the greatest reverence for God,
but some feared it might be construed to
mean union of church and
State. Sullivan, of Whitman, caused
a sensation by declaring that,
although good church MEM

effect. The debate was very heated and
the preamble was finally referred back

for it, ere this trouble is finally set. tied, the correspondent KleIn is sure to be made the unwilling victim in this Samoan affair. Our govern ment, through it's Congress, seems to possess faculty, happy or oth- erwise, of waging fierce, vindictive and harrassing wars (with their chns), upon every and all available occasions. Usually, when nothing else to do, Congress vii grab the British lion' by the tail, and swing that "varmint" round about their venerable heads, until 1t fairly whizzes through the air; at times, this whizzing is carried to such an extreme, the beasts own mamma would fail to recognize her off spring. At other times, notably the present,this gang of political quacks jump astride of old Bismarck 's neck, and pummel that gentleman's bald pate to their hearts content. And how does Congress raise such havoc with its enemies? Simply wind, my boy-purely wind, and nothing moro.
 What Congress really needs at this particular crisis of affairs, is for some person possessing ordi- nary common sense, no "beeny" in- dividual, armed with horsc-sy- ringe," filled with saw-dust, to in ject herewith a new set of brains into the aSinine-head of every moth CTS son of lem. This done, and 1t should be done speedily, they will thereafter have sufficient sense, and perhaps, the manhood to uphold our national dignity, at the same time. shame enough to stop blowing their disgustingly tireson,c bazoos.

United States of America VS. Ash
 ton, Smith and Carson.

Probably every person who re- sides in Apache county, who can read, has heard that Arthur Ashton, Henry Smith and Thomas Carson were indicted by the United States grand jury at Prescott in November last for perjury, alleged to have been committed in connection with prov ing up on public lands.
 The now defunct Eye-Opener spread the news locally. United States land agent, Bevans, tele- graphed it to the metropolitan pa pers. We propose now to tell our readers the true inwardncss of the whole matter.
 1. The indictment was found up on the unsupported testimony of that reckless old reprobate, Bevans, through the engineering of By Ter Till and Jim Wilson, of HolbrOnk, members of the grand jury, and bitter personal and political enc mics of the gentlemen indicted.
 2. When Bevans first came to Apache county, before he had ever seen either of the three gentlemen, publicly, in the saloon and on the streets, at St. Johns, he indulgedin in vituperation and abuse of these men, until it became unbearable, and finally, to avoid chastisement, he shut his mouth. His policy was to be bought-but these gentlemen declined to purchase his worthless character, Ashton and some of the boys threatened to thrash him. Every cowardly cur, who had a real or imaginary grievance, against Smith, Carson & Co.,, poured into the willing ear of this moral mon- strosity every imaginable kind and character of lie about the men.
 John Swinburne, who has filed upon one piece of land, pretcnded to live upon another, and who has failed to successfully prove up on either, and who, to avoid his credi- tors, left the country in the night in July, 1886, and abandoned them all, lost some improvements on one of his numerous claims by Ashton takingoup the claim, and after hold ing it for eight months, and allow ing Swinburne that time to pay him back his expenses. sold his claim on it to Sam Carson.
 John Swinburne promptly join ed the ranks of those miscreants, who have made the cowardly at tempt, through Bevans, to wreak their vengeance upon Smith, Carson and Ashton.
 g.. When. Bevans, in his ghoulish glee, revealed the secret of the in dictment, these gentlemen prompt ly went to Prescott and demanded 9 trial. Rouse, the United States Attorney, succeeded in lodging the issue, and the eases were set for January 2lst. The indicted prompt ly appeared, and inc cases went over until the following week.
 4. F, NJ, Zuck, bitter personal and political enemy of all three men, went to Meade. the marshal, or Meade, the marshal, went to Buck, we cannot say which, and as D result of consultation, Meade ap- pointed Benham, q partner of Swim burne's, deputy marshal to summon jurors from Apache county. By a singular accident, excep. possibly in one instance, the jurors were all men who were either secretly, or publicly, hostile to Smith, Carson and Ashton, Notably and notpr riously the chronic juror (who, by the-way,1s always fired even in his own county) D. G. Harvey.
