Tombstone epitaph., 1889-12-21

THE St. Louis Republic of the 11th instant contains vicious attack upon Judge Sloan and Judge Kibbey, which is evidently inspired by some of their enemies in this Territory, and which is chiefly remarkable for it's many in accuracies, especially as regards Judge Sloan. The editor of the EPITAPH is personally cognizant of Judge SlOan's connection with the Florence Land and Canal Company. He was the legal adviser of the company until the arrival of Judge kibbey from the East, never was secretary of the com pany, and the county in which the works of the company are situated Is not in the district over which Judge sloan has been appointed to preside. As to Judge kibbey, we know that the canal company strenuuusly ob- ' iected to his acceptance' of the posi- ton he now occupies, as they wished to retain his services as legal adviser and us an inducement offered to largely ipcrease his salary. Just why such determined effort is being made to defeat the confirmation ol these gentlemen we do not know, bu, presume that it is inspired by the chagrin of disappointed candidates desire on the part of others 10 "get even,' and also that others have not as they expected, found them pliabl' tools. We have an intimate, persona acquaintance with both gentlemen know them to be in every way quail fled Co discharge the duties of the DO siions they honor, and feel that i would be a disgrace to the people O the Territory, both Republicans ant Democrats, if the conspiracy that i afoot to defeat their confirmation should be successful.

Bob IEgersoIl's Belief.

Col Robert Ingersoll, writing Oi another recent work on immortality, makes the most liberal statement of his belief of the possibility of liS beyond the grave: "Ii we admit the existence of God of infinite wisdom and compassion we may say that there must be world better than this. But how do we account for one worse than this? That is to say, if injustice tii umphs here, why not there? If honesty is without bread in this world why not in another? Certainly God will be no better then than now. Still it may be possible that God in in- finite love and compassion will so re- ward those who suiier-thrOugh suffer ing itself-that all that happens will be consistent with wisdom and com passion. Love and hope are universal. So long as men love, so long as men hope, there will probably be in the heart and brain 8 splendid dream of immortality. It may be that we live no more; that we go back to uncou- sciousnes, yet the heart will always say: Perhaps there is another life, but whether there is or not is all paint on the canvass of the future, picture which delights and satisfies the soul. We know that in this world after iov- ing comes grief as after day comes night, and it may be there is some world where after grief comes joy as | night comes day"

HE great Cronin trial has ended, with the result that three of the ac- cused got life sentences, one three years and one was acquitted The reason that somebody was not sen fenced to be hanged is attributed to the fact that some of the jurors were averse to inlicting capital punishment on circumstantial evidence. Chicago does not seem to be healthy place for foreigners to put in practice their peculiar methods.

IN discussing the surplus, the En- gineering and Mining Journal says "We are in a financial position which is without precedent in history. No other country was ever bothered be- fore by having too much money in its treasury; and every cOnten porary na- tion would be glad to be in the same predicament that we are in now. POlit- ical economy may involve some in tricate problems, but there are more awkward ones than ours, as the Euro pean ministers of finance probably concede when puzzlins yer their budgets. To reduce income and re appor,ion taxes isn't quite so hard as to straighten out left-handed bal ance sheet The record made by the United States as debt-paying nation during the past twenty odd years is something which will stand us in gool stead if ever again the emergency fol borrowing arises"

THAT is beautiful little scheme Wolfiey has cOncocted to make him. self dictator of Arizona His extreme modesty is only excelled by his ad- amantine cheek in asking Congress to annul laws passed by the legislature and to give him the power to remove officers at will, and to call extra ses, sions of the legislature. With the power he has now he has already in- jured the Territory to an extent that will take years to repair. To further increase his powers for mischief would indeed be calamitous. But the EpI- TAPH is in possession of information which it is not at present at liberty to divulge, which almost makes it certain that Mir. Wolhey will not succeed, and that early next year his political head will be waited gently up Salt river.

FROM the Tucson pLess, and gentle- men recently from that town, it is learned that the verdict in the Wham robbery case was complete surprise, and that the feeling is very general that the verdict was a miscarriage of justice. The people of Tucson are not the only citizens of the Territory that were taken by surprise. According to the evidence, as it was published from day to day in the Tucson papers, the government made out a strong case and it appeared that at least some of the parties on trial were guilty. But whom a girl will marry or what yer dict jury will bring in are two conun- drums that never yet have been guessed.

THIs is the way it looks. to outside parties according to the San Francisco Chronicle It would be interesting to know what were the mental processes of the jury which acquitted the Wham robbers. Each of the defendants was positively identified by several reputa- ble witnesses, and it seemed one of the dearest cases of highway robbery, yet the jury, after being out only two hours, returned verdict of not guilty A cording to this decision Arizona is a safe field for the highwayman.

Mr. Adolph Nieman was down from Riverside Monday. He looks for con- siderable mining activity in that quar- ter very shortly. A wealthy corpora tion is now negotiating for nearly all the lead properties in that district and Mineral Creek, and there are strong grounds for belief that a sale implies the erection of large reduction works ill that vicinity. There are also indi- cations that the Ray copper property will soon resnme active operations.- Florence Enterprise.

THE Globe Silver Belt gets iacetious and waxes exceeding funny over the fact that the EPITAPH suspended its daily issue, and because we advocated a constitutional convention points to our failure in the publishing of a daily as a conclusive argument tha, Arizona is not fitted for statehood. A Daniel come to judgment. Why bless your innocent old soul, brother Hackney, we do not expect either you or other opponents of statehood, ever to get over your surprise and and a.. tonishment when an enabling act is passed this winter and Arizona tri umphahtly enters the union next winter. We can afford to wait.

Now that the Wham robbery case has been disposed of there is no longer any excuse for further postponing the appointment of United States Mar
 shal for Arizona. The EpITAPH has private information that the fight has narrowed down to MT. A. l.. Grow, of Tombstone, and Mir. R. H. Paul, ol Tucson. The EPITAPH has only friend ly feelings for MT. Paul, and recognizes that, by reason of his long residence in the Territory and experience in the office of sheriff, would make an eff eient officer. But Tucson has already received more than it's share of Fed eral appointees. and it is only right and just that some other portion of the Territory shou d receive recogni- ton. Mr. Grow has also been a resi- dent of Arizona lor long tern O. years, is entirely capable to discharge the duties of the office, and served the country when it was in need of sol
 diers. For these reasons, and feeling that the Republican party of Cochise county is entitled to some A,nsidera- tion, the EpITAPH hopes that Mr
 Grow will receive the appointment.

THE Tucson Star is authority for the statement that some of the de- fendants in the Wnam robbery trial since their release, have made threats that they would fill the bodies of some of those who testified against them full of bullets. If they have made such threats it would argue that they feel now as though they were entire masters of the situation in Graham county, and could do as they please
 In view of these threats, if any of the witnesses for the government in the late trial should be harmed, it would warrant the arrest of the whole gang and the placing of them on trial for their lives And if it can be proved that they have made such threats they should be arrested immediately and brought to q realizing sense of the fact that they are not at liberty to threaten the lives of pesceable citizens.

BEFORE another issue of the ErI- TAPH another Christmas will have come and gone. To those who have families and homes, and are sur rounded by relatives and dear friends, it will be a day of rejoicing, but to those who are far away from home and kindred. who cannot look into the faces of their loved ones, it will rather be day of regret. But, nevertheless
 the EPITApH wishes all it's readers a Merry Christmas and that they may pass the day in peace and happiness

There is some talk of establishing a cattle drive across the Mohave desert. the starting point from Arizona will be at Hardyvile. IL is stated that cattle can be driven to Bakersfield from this point at a cost not to ex. eed $l.25 per head, and probably as low as 75 cents. The shippers claim that the high rate charged by the A. X P. rail road will compel them to do something of the kind in order 10 make anything out of their cattle.--Mohave Miner.

FROM an item in Phenix paper it is learned that gentleman in the Salt river valley has cured and packed lot of raisins that compare favorably with the best California product. We have seen many specimens of grapes raised in the Salt river valley, and also many raised in Cochise county, and without wishing to in the least detract from the merits of the really fine pro- duct of the Salt river, we can honestly say that the grapes raised in this county excel Raisins are product that always command good price, and we would advise our farmers to plant raisin grape vineyards, or at least devote a portion of their land to the growing of raisin grapes. It is our opinion that it would pay them better than paying their entire atten ton to alfalfa and grain.
