Judiciary in Politics.

It has been asserted heretofore that both Underwood and Daley were under the control of Judge Barnes, and judging from their "caving down the bank" yesterday, the assertion is true. The Gazette was told that Judge Barnes was sent for to have Mr. Dailev voted against his own party. The Gazette has always been a friend of Judge Barnes, but if it is true that he came to Phoenix to interfere with matters before the legislature, he Overstepped the bounds of decency and ought to be removed. The peo- pie of Arizona have submitted to the interference of the judiciary in politics as long as they propose to and we serve notice upon them that it shall be stopped. Presto ent Har- rison has been very swift in remov- ing governors of territories but we believe if he would put his political ax at work on the judiciary he would suit people of this territory almost to a man. Come now, pres ident, let that political crushing machine be put in operation.-Ari- zona Gazette.

A Fool and His Raft.

A Santa Cruz, Cal, dispatch says a man named J. w. Talbot, log ger, recently employed by the Loma Prieta Lumber Mills, mounted a drift log in the river about a mile from it's mouth and foated down with the current. The bridges and river bank were lined with specta- tors, and many warned him of his danger, but he was an expert rafts- man and managed his craft with skill, performing many athletic feats on the log. Heedless of warnings he kept on the log until it reached the surf at the mouth of the river. The breakers were high and power ful, and tossed the log like a cork. He called loudly for help when too late, but was soon dashed off the log and drowned in sight of hun dred spectators. The deceased was a single man, aged twenty-five years and native of Maine.

The universal assumption of a total partisan reconstruction of the service; the careful cultivation of prejudice against Republicans who "held over" during the late admin istration, as if refusal to regard their places as the perquisites of the suc- cessful party was sufficient reason for summary dismissal the appor- tioning of custom-house and post office patronage among the most contemptuous enemies of reform as a matter of course-in a word, the eagar carnival of spells which the Washington letters describe seems to indicate that the party whose platform denounces the men who abandoned the party in 1884 is in 1889 in imminent danger of incur ring the same denunciation of treachery to it's own principles and of deliberate violation of it's own pledges. The strain comes upon the President, and, however unjust ly, Ee will be held responsible, as his predecessor has been. The Whig office-seeking torrent in 1S41 is sur passed by the Republican flood of 1889. The earlier days engulfed President Harrison's grandfather, and it will require all the courage energy and persistence of the grand son to withstand it now-Harper's Weekly.

SOme SuperstitiOus Statesmen.

Nothing can induce Senator Voor hees to ride in a street car drawn by a white horse.
 Senator Joe Blackburn not only takes the white horse, but also one having white spot on it, or one white foot.
 Senator Edmunds regards it as unlucky if the first person he meets on emerging from his house is a woman, and will return for fresh start.
 Senator Sherman will not extend his left hand in greeting or receive one extended to him-a familiar habit with politicians.
 Senator Call will bury or burn a pair of socks one or both of which he has put on wrong side out.
 Representative Kennedy, ofOhio, wears a voudoo charm which he obtained from an old negress in the swampS of Louisiana.
 Representative Allen, of Missis- sippi, the funny man of the house, is never without the traditional rab-. 
 bits foot which he killed in the dark of the moon in graveyard.
 When Senator Harris, of Tennes- see, is in doubt as to a course of ac- tion, he decides it by splitting at mark.
 If Senator Vest, of Missouri, meets beggar in the streets before he has spent any money he inva- riably gives to the mendicant.
 If the first person Representative Breckinridge meets in the morning is a colored man or woman he cross es to the other side of the street. | He claims that if he continues on the same side he will be hoodooed | for the entire day.
 Senator Evarts is a great admirer of the flaming beauties of the cir GUS posters and theatre announce ments on the billboards, which taste he has in common with Hale, of Maine; Butler, of South Carolina, and Pascoe, of Florida.-Cleveland Plaindealer.

When Errors are Excellent.

A Baltimore paper is praising Mark Twain's delightful drawl."
 That is just what might have been expected. Nothing is more disagreeable than the drawling ut terance of an unknown man, but in one whois successful and famous, it is, as our contemporary says, simply delightful.
 When the average man fails to pronounce common words correctly people laugh at him, but Walter Savage Landor's barbarous pronun- citation, the like of which will never be heard on earth again, was gener- ally admired.
 It is so with a mans dress, man. ners and habits-the crucial test is his status in the world. The young CT generation understand this thor oughly and the only maxim now quoted is that of the cynical French succeeds like suc- cess. ."-Atlanta Constitution.

Human nature will always have some terrible penalty to infict up- on those who try to interfere with its inherent rights and has abun- dantly asserted that freedom of wor- ship is one of these. The sympa- thies of mankind rally around persecuted cause. Attempted ob- struction has again and again not only defeated itself, but done more to assist the cause it hates than all other agencies combined. This was the case with the Reformation, with Methodism, with the Tractarian movement, and it has been true in hundreds of minor cases. The re- ligious persecutor has become a poor creature in the eyes of man. kind. He still appears periodical ly, but nc longer dares to indulge in the oppressive measures, the harsh epithets, and the misrepresen- tations of his earlier career.-ProY- idenee Journal.

No Quarantine Against Arizona
 Cattle.

Dr. A. J. Chandler, Arizona's eff
 cient veterinary surgeon, returned
 Sunday from visit to the Califor-
 nia capital, where he had been in
 the interest of the cattlemen of this
 territory. The sanitary commits sioners, Messrs, Town, Halleck,
 Barnes and Bowers acted promptly when the cattle industry of this territory was in jeopardy by the large cattle raisers of northern Cali fornia, and had it not been for the timely arrival of our veterinary sergeon at Sacramento, a quaran- tine law would today be in opera tion against our territory. The ac- tion of MT. Halleck is especially to be commended, as to his prompt and energetic action in the matter the defeat of the proposed quaran- tine measure is due. When Dr. Chandler arrived on the promises, the bill quarantining against Ari- zona was on its second reading. The service of Dr. Chandler was at once called into requisition, and he ex- plained to Senator Hickouck, one of the ablest and best men in the senate who had charge of the bill, that it's references to Arizona were false in every particular, and at once proceeded to demonstrate the true facts in the case. In consequence of this Arizona was excluded from the operation of the bill, and as it now stands, it applies to New Mex co, Old Mexico and Texas.-Phe- nix Gazette.

Big Fortunes.

The strongest pig in the litter is
 very apt to grow stronger, says the
 Las Vegas Stock Grower, and the
 weakest to grow weaker. When q
 man has, by the exercise of the
 money making propensity, made
 one million, 1t is an easy matter to
 add thereto indefinitely. The pro- pensity to make money has no re-
 gard to the means employed, so
 long as the end aimed at is in view. It fattens on that it feeds on it is the big pig i'll the litter and cares not who starves if only it can con- tTel the supply, and smile at mis- cry, want and bankruptcy, if only it can be clothed in fine linen and fare Sumptuously. Talking of the situation of beef cattle breeders and feeders the Chicago Inter Ocean says:
 During the period that cattle rais- ing has been exceptionally unpro- fitable, instead of exceptionally pro- fitable, enormous fortunes, and a good many of them, have been made by men who merely buy and sell cattle, and still larger fortunes, if fewer of them, by men who are butchers on large scale. In other words, the profits which formerly went to the producers now go to the middlemen. In the entire his- tory of industry and commerce can be found no parallel in magnitude and completeness to this transfer of profits from first to second and third hands. If the pre- sent injustice cannot be remedied, the farmers and ranchmen of the country had better quit-claim their property to these middlemen as gratuity and hire out to them. All most any wages would be better than no profits. In the language of the familiar proverb, "let the tail go with the hide" Re- lief must be sought until found, and, when found, the cattle raisers of the west will be amazed at them selves for allowing their legitimate profits to be so long and so wholly diverted from their own now empty pockets to the overfiowing money bags of drovers and packers.

The successful office-getter is a man who has the capacity to gain the assistance of others who are prominent in politics. The chief tie between them is community of interest. One can help the other, That is all of it. Leading politi- clans then become mere bosses con- trolling their hordes of retainers by making his elevation to or retention in office the personal interest of each. Our y oung men might spend years in studying craftsmanship. It would be all in vain, for they would be discarded every time in favor of the men whose knowledge of polit- ical philosophy was confined who'll ly to working" the wards or being useful at the polls. The American system does not develop statesmen, but only politicians.-New Orleans Picayune.

Brain Revelation.

A writer in the New York Tribune
 tells the story of the appearance O
 a mans brain under a strong mi
 croscope that is both interesting
 and suggestive. In the brain mat
 ter he says, were noticed curious
 markings, some geometrical, some
 sinuous and many others that
 proved to be characters in the Ethio-
 pic, Syriac and Phenician lan-
 guages, which the possessor of the
 brain, when alive, had made spec ial study. Now for the suggestive part, perhaps some day when a
 man dies we can take out his brain. spread it on a microscope slide, and in peep behold him as he really was, not as he pretended to be. Every thing his mind took cognizance of and formed an opin- ion about will be open before us like the page of a book. No doubt the traceries will take peculiar shapes sometimes. Perhaps the brains of some young men who died young because they were good will show markings closely resem- bling champagne bottles, nightkeys and fast horses. The tracings in the brain of more than one good baldheaded fellow may assume the graceful forms of ballet girls, the sight of which made such an impress sion on him when alive and in the frontrow ofthe theater. Shapes that closely resemble beautiful entrain and decollete dresses may be ex- pected in the craniums of society bells called home in the midst of their triumphs. In the brains of re- porters will be noticed many ghastly family and public secrets, which, out of reportorial goodness of heart, were never given out to the world. And so we might continue ad infn- itum but we refrain. This scientific investigation must not be pushed further. A key that opens a mans secrets after he is dead might not be such hilarious discovery after all.

A Colorado. Texas, dispatch of a recent date says: Five ot the ranger force arrived here from the east, and started up north on 6 still hunt for criminals. They returned in a few days and gave an account of the capture of four men charged with burning brands and stealing cattle for some time past. One member of the gang, it is alleged, has a small bunch of cattle, and has been chang ing several neighboring brands of cattle to his own. They have also been, it is said, killing cattle and selling the meat and destroying the hides to prevent discovery. One of the rangers has been up there about a month quietly working up the case, and then summoned aid and took in all four of the accused. They were brought to Snyder, the county seat of Scurry county, and waiving examining trial were re- leased on bail of $500 each. It is currently reported that evidence has been secured against several other parties and that more arrests will follow.

Mir. Wales Arnold was in town from the Cienega last Saturday. He says there is no disguising the fact that feed is scarce in that To- cality and as natural consequence cattle are suffering somewhat, the losses already having been consid- erable. This is the first report of any noticeable loss from any sec tion of Arizona this season, and we regret very much having to place 1t on record.-Hoof and Horn.

A telegram from Washington says that during the closing hours of the last Congress, an amendment was incorporated in the internation- al salmon fishing act which, in eff feet, declares that Behring's sea is a closed sea, and President Harri- son will soon issue proclamation to that effect. The act forbids the taxing of seal by any one not au- thorized by it from Behring's sea- It is thought international compli- cations may result from the pro posed course.

New Guinea Head Hunters.

The bad habit some savages have
 of cutting off the heads of any stran
 gers who fall in their way simply
 because heads are required to adorn
 their sacred houses or to serve in
 the dedicatory exercises of their
 war canoes has tragically ended the
 careers of a number of white men
 within the past year. The latest
 news from New Guinea is that MT.
 Armstrong. an Englishman, was re-
 gently lured to one of the coast
 islands, where he was decapitated and his head sent to the coast chiefs as proof that the islanders were attending to business. About a year ago brave in one of the wild tribes on the Indian frontier was not permitted to wed the mai den of his choice, because her rela- tives were of the opinion that he had not acquired sufficient num- Der of heads to demonstrate his prowess. It was agreed that when he could show two more heads he might have the girl, and so he sal lied forth to win reputation and a bride. It happened that the first strangers the brave and his party encountered were Lieutenant Stew art, of the British army, and his small escort, who were led into an ambush and slaughtered and their heads taken back in triumph to the village. This was the cap sheaf of a series of head hunting out rages, and the brave had not long enjoyed his honeymoon before an Indian expedition fell upon the tribe and gave it some new views on the ethics of head hunting. This favorite pastime has fourished greatly in Borneo, but it is now in a bad way in the British part of that island, where the penalty of death is visited upon every head hunter who is unlucky enough to be caught. A while ago the British authorities, in settling a dispute between two tribes, found that one village per sisted in head hunting because the other fellows had three heads ad- vantage of them. The accounts were balanced by a small supply of trade goods, and the rival head 1 hunters promised thereafter to live in amity.-Boston Herald.
