It is now openly stated, says the Tucson Star, that it cost Sol Earth SIP, ,000 all told, to secure his par don; $7, 900 constituting the last payment. Who got the money? It is also stated it cost the friends of a young man who was sent to Yuma from Phoenix, $2,000 If this be so who got the the money? 1t is pretty generally believed that Wong ri, the Chinaman released on par don, cost $10,000. If this be true who received the coin? It is said that during the last two years reg ular pardon brokers u5iness has been carried on in connection with the territorial prison. If it is a fact that such a brokerage has been car ried on, who constitute the board of brokers? What is their business and who gets the profits if any there be? These all appear to be propor subjects for the investiga- tion of the grand jury.

JOHN H. MARION. in his editori

JOHN H. MARION, in his editorial correspondence from Phoenix, tc his paper, the Prescott Courier, has this to say of "old Khronich Kan, didate"-Councilman Hardy, oi Mohave, was our bitter enemy from first to last. and may God have mercy upon his compound-cathar- tic soul! He repaid our kindness with unkindness-but of such is the kingdom of bigoted Republi- cans and crack-brained statesmen. If brother Marion would adopt Davy Crocket's advice, "be sure you are right and then go ahead" he would not lavish so much taffy upon unworthy and ungrateful skunks. And what is better, not so soon thereafter "eat crow," and still better be more consistent. To give a man tafiy to-day and h-l to-mor- row, to say the least, indicates in- consistency, or lack of judgment.

A SACRAMENTO dispatch of the 9th instant says: It was ascertain ed to-day that the senate bill No. 626, an act to regulate quarantine and admission of horses, cattle, sheep and swine into the State of California from infected districts did not pass the legislature, although the bill with the signatures of the officers of both houses and the gov ernor is being incorporated into the statutes. The register of the sen ate will show that the bill was pass ed by the senate and was transmit ted to the assembly, where it was was read the third time and was re- fused passage. Renison gave no- tice for reconsideration of the vote by which the bill was lost, but it was never called up.

In day or two the Board ot Directors of the Arizona Industrial Exposition Association will hold a meeting for the purpose of arrang- ing all the details and accepting a premium list for the next Territo- rial fair. It will commence on Monday, October 18th, and contin- ue for four days. This will be the fifth fair, and it is generally conced- ed that nothing has done more to promote the interests of Arizona or to improve our live stock. We trust that the Association will this year offer liberal premiums.

Democrat

The Cologne Gazette objects to MT. Bates, one of the Samoan Com missioners, on the ground that he has expressed himselfin favor of the American view of the questions to be considered by the conference. Does the Gazette imagine, we won der, that our Government is in the habit of selecting men for diplo- matic positions who do not believe in the justice and propriety of the cause which they are to represent? Mir. Bates will hardly be recalled
 because he holds that his country has the rights on it's side, and that
 the claims of Germany are illegal and indefensible.--Globe Democrat.

A petition is being circulated in Phoenix asking for the appointment of Edmond w. Wells, Esq, of Pres colt for the supreme bench of Ari- zona. The Gazette trusts that MT. Wells will receive the appointment, as better man don't roam over the bleak hills of Arizona, and he will add dignity to the position.-Phe- nix Gazette.
 For twenty odd years, Mr. Ed. w. Wells has been identified with Ari- zona and her interests and if Judge James H. Wright is to be super ceded, we know of no man within our territorial limits whose appoint ment would give greater satisfac- ton to the people at large, than would the appointment of Judge Edmond w. Wells, to the Supreme Chief Justiceship of this Territory.

PRESIDENT HARRISON told the South Carolinans recently that "the policy of the Administration would be to break up the cliques that have been formed Gin the South, simply for the purpose of securing offices for their members" The same or der of cliques exist in New Mexico, organized, not with reference to the success of the party, but for the az grandizement of men whose repub- licanism is at best but skin deep President Harrison will do we'll to break up these cliques, by refusing their members appointments Gallup News-Register.
 Indications are that the same state of things exist in Arizona. And, as is always the case, where a lot of pot-house politicians band themselves for public plunder, their selections are generally men entire ly unftted for the positions they seek, and equally as interruptions in the means used to secure their ends.

According to the London Econom- ist seven of the Scotch companies engaged in the cattle ranch business in the far west have largely increas- ed their indebtedness during the lasttw years, Only three out of the original ten companies paid di- vidend las year, and the amount distributed is described as wretch edly small" If the scotchman who put their money into the enterprise have much ofthe shrewdness which is national characteristic, they will decline to accede to the recent de- mands for additional capital, at any rate until they sent out a com mittee of inspection and received a favorable report from it.-Globe Democrat.

No weekly paper published in the Uni ted States contains as much or as great variety of good
 reading matter as the
Weekly Examiner!

The present year promises to be crowd ed with stirring events.
 In the United States the entrance of new issues into the political arena has been followed by a change of admins tration. But the great economic ques- tion on which the campaign turned is still unsettled, and it's solution is now committed to Congress almost equally divided between the two great parties.
 Europe is vast camp. Army corps patrol the frontiers, and millions of men await the signal for the most titantIc war the world has ever seen,
 The EXAMINERS news gathering ma- chinery is unequalled. It's correspon- dents dot the habitable globe. Nothing can escape their vigilance, and no ex- pense is spared in spreading the results of their efforts before the Examiners readers.
 The most noted writers of fiction in the world contribute to the WEEKLY EXAMINER. Jules Verne, author of "A Trip to the Moon," etc.; Robert Louis Stevenson, author of Treasure Island," etc. Rider Haggard, author of "She," etc. Anna Katherine Green, au- thor of "The Leavenworth Case, :" etc. have all written stories for the WEEK LY EXAMINER, and will do so in the future.

PRESIDENT HARRISON has only once been guilty of disregarding the "home rule" plank in the Chi cago platform, by the appointment of a Vermont man to the governor ship of Alaska. For this single deviation from his outlined policy, the Globe-Democrat takes the Pres ident to task, in the following lan- guage: "Why an exception has been made in this instance, we do not know; but we do know that he might have found a suitable man for the place without going as far East as Vermont"

THE Courier's "hired man," who was all through the Oklahoma country in 1875, says that country is not half what it has been cracked up to be. That it is subject to cy- clones, the terrific norther, and a species of chills and fever that nev- CT fails to "rattle the very bones oi buried people near the streams, and there are plenty buried there" " The Courier does not advise people to rush pell-mell to that section, for if they do so, many, very many will be sorelY disappointed on the oth- CT hand, the Courier says, with 9

often happened that railway companies
gave more TO the state than they actually
received from it in suhventions, however
consid rable Eventually the members OF
the fourth section of the congress agreed
that it was expedient to call upon govern
ments TO levy the ordinary taxes and duties
on both railways and canals in an abso-
lutely equal manner
The members OF the Congress next at
tended grand reception given them at the
Hotel de Vile by the Paris municipal
council, aud afterward a second banquet
given them by the government Of the re-
public. Lastly, President Carnot received
the members Of the Congress at Fontaine-
bleu, special trains being provided to take
them from Paris to the presidents palace
and return.
Independently OF the purely technical
questions which were discussed during the
congress, matters appertaining TO the con-
Vealence or passengers were entered into.
Among these were the expediency Of eseab-
fishing fourth-class passenger service--such
service not existing in France, although
lt Is known in Germany-and the admission
OF thrd-class into express aud other fast
trains at slightly increased rate.
Another subject specially interesting
TO railway passengers on the continent was
that OF customs examinations of baggage.
The congress expressed hope that the va
rlous governments would conclude a uni
form agreement for the customs service and
facilitate the frontier examination Of bag
gage, particularly Of the lighter sort car
rled by passengers In their hands Finally,
the congress ventured to call the attention
OF governments and railway companies to
the Importance of bringing about the gen.

weights aud measures.
The valedictory address of the French
delegates was delivered by III. Picard, pres

What Strangers to the City by the Sea
May Expect to Behold.
CHARLESTON, s. c., Nov. 3.-Brilliant
sunsets are not rare in Charleston, but the
gorgeousness of the western sky this even
ing was an object of more than usual COM
ment, because it indicated fair weather for
Charleston's gala week, which begins to-
morrow. Cold or warm, clear
or cloudy, however, the festival is at
hand, and the people of the city and their
making the most of it. They will be kept
busy, 1t need scarcely be said, in trying to
see all that is to be seen
THE CITY A VAST SHOW.
The city itself will be pretty fair 'shown
during the week. With multitudinous and
varied decorations along the streets, flags
and arches, and long array Of tastefully
ornamented windows, brilliant illumina-
tions by night, and thronging crowds by
day and night, it would be we'll worth a
visit to see the gay scene and take part in
it, even IL there were nothing more than
this. The official programme tells the story
of the week, and of each day and night in
the week.
WHAT rs ON THE PROGRAMME.
It includes fireworks by day and night,
poat races duu snip RACES, sndlu DabtloS on
the lake, military drills, parades and con-
tests in trades displays, torchlight process
sions, fantastic and otherwise; floral ex-
hibitions and a performance Of trained
seals, steamboat excursions up the
rivers and around the harbor, base ball ex-
cursions around the lines of the diamond and
a balloon ascension. On the last night,
Friday, the harbor will be illuminated, and
war times will be recalled by representa-
tions of vessels running blockade and the

proclamation recognizing North Dakota
and South Dakota, and let Washington and
Montana wait till their returns come in.
the statesmen Of the Dakotas are now turn.
ing their attention to having the senators
from North Dakota elected as speedily as
possible. Under the constitution Of North
Dakota the legislature cannot meet until
fifteen days after the Presidents proclama-
tion is issued, but the politicians of North
Dakota will not lose single day after the
expiration of this time. Ex-}ov. Gilbert
A. Pierce is regarded as certain to get one
OF the two senatorshins from North Dakota.
oRDWAY'S HARD RACE.
For the other ex-Gov. N. G. Ordway and
twenty-nine others will contest, of whom
P. j. McComber and George II. Walsh are
regarded as most likely to win. Ordway is
being bitterly opposed. the South Dakota
republicans uniting with his opponents in
North Dakota to defeat him. Senator Pet
tigrew of South Dakota is particularly
jealous in this warfare. An old feud
exists between Pettigrew and Ordway.
Each calls the other hard names
The last word lies with Pettigrew,
who sent message to Ordway before the
senator's from South Dakota we're elected
that If Ordway would stump South DaGota

713, of which S31, ,440,T7S consisted of

falling off in the gold product Of about
$1,000,000 as compared with the previous

PLANS OF THE OIL TRUST.
The New Scheme that VIII Probably
Be Adopted.

The New Scheme that VIII Probably
Be Adopted.
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The committee
which was appointed at the annual meeting
Of the cotton oil trust last Friday TO devise
II plau for resolving the trust into COR
poration held a profoundly secret session
last night and managed to keep the pro-
ceedings Of their meeting entirely from all
representatives Of the press, aud conse-
quently no New York paper has yet had
any hint of what was done. The News
correspondent has managed to secure a de-
tailed account of what transpired. The
previously proposed plan to issue $40, 600.
600 worth OF q per cent mortgage bonds
and $4,000, 900 worth Of stock in lieu Of
the S42,000.000 Of trust certificates now
outstanding was abandoned owing to the
serious Disadvantages which it was thought
would attend the issue Of any mortgage
bonds at all.
A NEW PLAN.
The following plan was proposed as q
substitute for all the others that had been
considered: Organize a corporation under a
New Jersey charter with capital OF
S10.000,000 preferred and $21 900, 900 com
mon stock; reserve In the treasury of the
company 81 600, 900 each Of the preferred
uuQ CJ1lulOn 6OOohy tAlAI is6uo ia 64CuAQKb
for the present trust certificates the remain
ing sc, 100000 Of common and $4,000, 900
of preferred stock. This will give to every
trust certificate owner 9-42 of his holdings
in preferred and 20-42 In common stock Of
the new corporation.
DIVISION OF THE DIVIDENDS.
II Is provided that this preferred stock
shall be entitled to regular dividends of o
per cent. first out OF the earnings, and, II
the earnings be sufficient the common
stock shall likewise draw 6 per cent IL the
earnings shall be more than enough to pay
9 per cent. ON both the preferred and com
mon stock then the surplus is to be
equally divided. Dividends on neither the
preferred nor common stock are to be
cumulative. Under this plan it is shown
that the net earnings for the past twelve
months, which were 81 $50, 783 were suf1i-
cient to have yielded per cent. ON the pre-
ferred and 8 per cent, ON the common stock
of the proposed new corporation.
EFFECT ON THE VALUE OF THE STOCK.
It Is claimed that by this showing the
preferred stock will sell readily at so and
the common at 48, on which basis of valua-
ton the present trust certificates are figured
out to be worth Just 40. The condition of
the treasury of the now corporation, IL or
gauized on the above plan, would be as
follows:
Reserve OF preferred stock ........$ 1000 900
Reserve Of common stock .....-...... 100000
