HoN. PATRICK HAMILTON diediat Phenix, A. T., December IS, 1888 Pat Hamilton was a man of nc mean abilities, although, like many of us on the western frontier, at various times, prospector, miner, teamster, soldier, legislator, com missioner of Immigration, etc. :; and withal, a most brilliant and versa tile writer for the Press. Pat was 2 stauneh Democrat, ] true friend, and when not in his cups, an ex- ceedingly polished gentleman, with whom to meet in social converse, was indeed a pleasure always to be remembered. Vale old friend, thou hath lain down the burthens of this troublous life, and hath gone in- to that dreamless sleep, which knows no awakening.

fore he proceeds with his duties.
 In some inexplicable way, the ru-
 nor went the rounds, that all bonds
 must be in by ten days after notice
 of election; when in fact, the law gives officers until the 18th day of
 January, 1889, to file and have ap- proved their bonds. Some eigh-
 teen bonds are rushed off to the chairman; he, instead of consult ing his legal advisor, approves all. Then, after approving them and the officers have had all Of their trouble and two days before the end of the
 year, he asks the District Attorney to look them over and this too, after the same had been recorded. A casual examination by that off, cer, a trained lawyer, showed tech nical defects in 90 per cent. of them; serious defects in about 50 per cent, and fatal defects in some few. Then the hyenas began to howl-said they: Johnston be- longs to the ring, and now they will get in their work; all whom the clique don't want will be fired, and they want Greer's office par ticularly." It seems, however, that the District Attorney pointed out the defects 10 the officers, aiding each and all to remedy the trouble, suggested proper approval to the chairman of Greer's bond, proper order for the Board to make, allow ing reasonable time for supplement tai bond, he having ample securi- ty to qualify, and all went as merry as marriage bell. Thus again, an officer with intelligence enough to know it, and fairness and cour- age enough to discharge, his off cial duty, has by his impartial con- duet, again disappointed the howl CTS.

Lord Salisbury boldly announces his views on womap suffrage. He says:
 eve earnestly hope," he said "lhat the day is not far distant when woman, will also bear their share of voting and determining the pol icy of the country, We can con ceiye of no argument why .they should be excluded, since it is ob- vious that they are as abundantly fit as a great many others, to possess the right of suffrage, by reason of knowledge, training, character, in fuence and weight, thrown in the direction of morality and reli- gion."

Disappointed,

The law makes it the duty of the chairman of the Board of Super visors to closely examine into the solvency of sureties on official bonds and to approve, or disap- prove them. The law makes the District Attorney the legal advisor of the said chairman. Common sense would dictate that the chair man should consult his legal ad

WE are glad to see the "Hoof &, Horn" going so strongly against the proposed compromise with the Atlantic & Pacific R. R., in regard to the taxes that company owes to Yavapai county. While advising Yavapai and Apache to follow the example of Mojave and bring suit, our friend O'Neil forgets that Apa- che was the first county to bring suit against the A. & P. R. R., for the full amount of taxes due, re- fusing all compromise.

As the time for the Legislature to meet approaches the air is full of rumors of a scheme to remove the Territorial Capital from Pres cett to Phenix or Tucson, this bogey appears every two years with side rumors of combinations and trades to split counties and tear things open generally.
 We are very much in favor of keeping the Territorial Capital where it is. The indebtedness of the Territory is quite heavy enough without laying on the taxpayers the additional burden which the removal of the Capital to either the above mentioned points would en- tail. Apart from this we believe that the rivalry which exists be- tween Pherix and Tucson will neu- tralize any attempt to remove the Capital at present.

4 telegram from San Diego to the San Francisco Chronicle on the 12th inst. announces that the Guy amaca railroad line will be pushed into this Territory. The telegram reads as follows:
 The first trainload of steel rails for the Cuyamaca and Eastern rail- road has reached San Berrardino Rails for the first twenty-five miles have been delivered to the Santa Fe road at Kansas City and are en route between that point and San Diego, Rails for the extension from Lakeside will probably be shipped by water, as saving of $8 per ton will thus be affected. The rails are consigned to John L. Blair and were made at his steel works at Blairstown, NJ.
 It is now positively known that he is at the head of the syndicate building the Cuyamaca. Blair is very rich and we'll known as a rail- road builder. He owns large inter- ests in the Dcleware & Lackawanna

CONGRESSMAN FoRAN says that if the President had 'let wool alone'' in his message of a year ago "the Republicans would not have the next President and the next House. " Texas, the second wool-growing State in the Union, gave Cleveland and free wool 163,364 mIority-a gain of more than 30,000 over 1884. California, the first wool producing State, reduced Blaine's majority one-haif. h Ohio, Congressman FOran's own State and the third in wool production, the Republican majority of 31,000 in 1884 was re- duced to 10000, with a gain of one member of Congress, Twenty years of declining prices have pulled the wool from the eyes of some of the sheep-owners.

Tine reports from Yuma, if true, shows that a very rich body of ore has been struck in the Harquaha la mines in that county. The place was known twenty years ago by the dis covery of pits of quartz by an army officer, and the ore was profitably worked, but the terrorofthe Apaches kept prospectors out of the country until very recently. There are stor- ies of $36,000 being secured in seven days by a party of five men, who simply scraped away the surface of the lodges and raked in the nuggets: Whether this be true or not, there is no doubt that much gold has been brought in from the diggings, and that a rush is taking place similar to the stampede to Tomb stone. If the camp proves to be a good one 1t will help to restore Yuma to its old-time importance as an outGtting station.-S. F.

THE board of supervisors have employed Hon. Harris Baldwin, of Prescott, to prosecute the tax suit against the A. &y r. railroad. The case was carried from the Circuit court by the railroad company, to the United States court, and the case will come before that court at Prescott. We are pleased to note that the board has determined to prosecute the suit, and that they are willing to furnish the necessary means to do so. A compromise with the county in the matter is now out of the question, and the case will, in all probability, go to the United States Supreme court for final settlement; but the people of Mojave county are willing to wait for the taxes due from the rail. road company the years 1t takes to legally settle the dispute, and as willingly stand the expense. In the selection of Mir. Baldwin as the attorney for the county, we believe that the board acted wisely. and the fee agreed upon, a reasonable one.-Mohave County Miner.

Railroad Taxes,

The Prescott Courier says the an, nexed article from the San Francis co Examiner could. with very little trouble, be altered so as to "cover'
 the case of the Atlantic & Pacific
 railroad, another great corporation that has taken it upon itself to die
 tate to Arizonians as to what, if
 any, taxes it will pay to three coun- ties and the Territory. Here is
 what the great San Francisco pa per says on the subject:
 "The Southern Pacific company is now considering the propriety of paying taxes for the current year. This is a responsibility that does not weigh upon the ordinary citi- zen. He never has the trouble of balancing conflicting arguments on the subject. He must pay his taxes, or be sold out. It is one of the misfortunes of a great corpora tion like the Southern Pacific, that it is obliged to discharge some of the functions of sovereignty-to decide for itself what relations it shall hold to the community, wheth- CT it shall observe any of the laws passed for the restraint of the herd, and, if so: which and what propor- ton ofthe general expenses 1t can conveniently assume.
 There is hope this year that the company will be generous. Colo nel Crocker talks in an admirably magnanimous spirit. He is anx- ious, he intimates, to cultivate friendly relations with the people along his lines, and if the current taxes can be paid without creating a liability to pay past imposts, which the company has declined to recognize, it is quite likely that the favor may be granted.
 Colonel Creed Raymond, with a fidelity to his employers that does him credit, is "more royalist than the king" He is not at all sure that the taxes, even for this year, should be paid. In his opinion they are entirely too high. He reaches his conclusion by a chain of reasoning which alone would be sufficient to drag him to the pima cle of logical fame, It proceeds thus:
 The average taxes for the seven years were $429,OCO. But during that time the company did not own the South Pacific coast, the Oregon extension and various other new Now with all these new which make the property of the company one-third more val uable than 1t ever was before, the tax thss year is only $521, ,679.70 Consequently the average of $429, 900 for the last : years was exces- sive. And therefore the tax for this year is too high.
 Is it not beautifully simple? The dress circle at the Baldwin could 1t without an Ollendorff
 There is much in Colonel Hay mond's remarks that deserves study, but lack of space forbidS luther just now. Yet we cannot omit an expression of surprise and 1 qualification at his closing opinion. The head of the Southern Pacific's | aw department declares that he 1 hopes the time will come "When all he taxes for the state government will be collected from the corpora ions alone, by a tax on their gross Ifthat is what the cor Dorations would like there is no 'eason why they should not be grat fed"

The growing of horses and cat tie in the Western and Northwest ern states and territories Is of com. paratively recent origin, especially in those last mentioned. Texas was the first state 10 make a business ot grazing cattle on the public domain. and so great was her success, that she was initiated by all the states and territories west of the Missouri river as soon as they began to set tie up and could be supplied with stock. During the civil war, how ever, the cattle business was neg lectcd to such an extent, that num- bers of thcm grew quite wild and were never branded. The word maverick" was first applied to cat tic during this period ; 1t was de- rived from a man of that name, who unlike his patriotic acighbors stay ed away from the battlefield and enriched himself at the expense of the rightfuI owners by branding (pio abci) their young stock as soon as they were weaned.-Ex.

There is just suspicion of chlillnesS
about the winds that blow across the
lakes at eventide just now, and at the
lakeside resorts wraps are not-at-ail
Superfuous accessory to comfort. The
lake season is rapidly drawing to a
close. The big hotels are getting ready
to close their doors for the winter sea-
son, although to the minds of the young
people, in whose veins the blood OF
youth courses merrily, the most pleas
ant portion of the entire season has but
Just begun. What matters to tn IN that
the air is a tritie cooler than fOrme.l y,
provided the moon shines as brightly,
the stars twinkle as freely and
Nature still maintains her summer
garb. To them there would be
Infinite pleasure i'll an almost in
definite continuance of the summer sea-
son, the happy little fiirtationS meath
lakeside foliage, the jolly little two-in
One-hammock adventures, which go to
make a season at the lake the fun that
it always is. All things must have an
end, however, and wise mammaS refuse
to run the risk of allowing their dar-
lings to contract severe colds or incur
able love affairs by prolonging the eX-
pOSure to either. Practically the lake
season is at an end, and soon the men,
DRY of the happy times at Minnetonka
will have faded by contrast with the
more brilliant affairs of social season

hotels, as being most accessible to par
ties desiring to go to the lakes for a
day, will remain open the longest. The
Minnetonka hotels probably will close

In one more week August will be
gone, and then there will be but few
more days of enjoyment left at most
watering places. Not so at White Bear.
The very finest time in the whole sea-
son at this place is in September. The
sun is not SO fearfully hot that boating
is uncomfortable, nor so cool that bath
ing cannot be enjoyed. The past week
opened cool and diSagreeable, and many
dark looks were observable ON the faces
of those who hoped to enjoy themselves.
For day or so it warmed up again and
the hotel registers for the week will
show up as good as almost any one OF
the season.
On Monday evening the musicale at
the Lakeside cottage attracted a good
attendance, while the hop at the Leip,
and the festival at George Schnable's
Tuesday evening helped many to drive
away what might otherwise have proved
a dull evening. 1t was plenty warm
enough Wednesday evening to enjoy
the concert given by Seibert's band at

at the Leip attracted those who like to
dance. Last evening the band concert
and the entertainment by the ladies of
