A Dangerous Pet.

$ ANANTONIo, Feb. 27.--At Del Rio yesterday, Mrs. Robert MacMahon, wife of railroad man, went ou: into her back yard to look after some clothes drying on a line. leaving her six months old babe m Its cradle, with no one else in the room. While the mother was out. a white rat the household pet, climbed into the cradle and proceeded to mince on the helpless infant. The pet rodent nibbled out one eye of the baby, took a nip off the righ, arm, bit of a big slice of the nose, and was merrily feeding into the baby's throat when the mother came to the rescue in response to her chlld's screams. 1t is thought the baby will die. The pet rat has been killed.

COCoNIRo CONSIDERED FROM a
 FINANCIAL STANDPOINT,

Members from the southern part oI
 the territory, who seem to be ready and eager to carve and slice Yavapai county
 up and deliver the parcels out to whom
 soever may ask. may ,h;nk they are in , turing no one but this county. If the | designs as outlined are carried into ef-
 feet these gentlemen will find out, when
 Il IS too late to remedy the evll, that
 what they intended solely as an injury to Ydv pal county will react on the whole
 territory. As the IouRNAL-MINER has ! hese,ofore stated, there IS large ele- i '"@'f ldyApal county who are not op- posed to Coconino county, provided its boundary lines are made on or near the IIath parallel of longitude This will
 afford the relief asked for by the ci,i-
 zsns Of Flagstaff and vicinity. The
 lines as proposed, however. not only
 takes ihe major portion of the railroad,
 one ct the largest pieces os taxable prop
 eriy in ihe county, but also proposes to
 take ia the principal agricultural valley
 Tn the rounty-Verde valley Maricopl
 a!S'' wants a large slice of the mining
 country south ot us added to her bo,-
 ders, Gila wants large slice also. All
 this IS asked for, while 1t IS also proposed to leave the greater portion of the in-
 debtedness tor the parent county 10 pay.
 Legislative combinations may be formed to accomplish all these things, as a DOT ton of the legislature seems to disregard justice and fairness Tn the matter
 The jesuit will be. gentlemen, that you will bankrupt Yavapai county. The tax able prop''ty left would be mortgaged 10 the extent of from 25 to 10 per cent. Whs, would be the inevitable resultp It could be only one thing-repudistion. The county would be absolutely helpless 10 do otherwise. no matter how much It's people might desire to do otherwise The effect of this would be to deprec,a,e the securities of every county in the territory, while the territorial bonds pro- posed to be voted for various purposes for public institutions would be hawked | around from New York to San Francisco without finding purchaser. Gentlemen of the Fifteenth legislature, your pc posed action in regard to dividing Yava ,ai county viii have d far more reachieq 'tteot than you have yet counted on. The ,il, as passed by the house.

Announcements of candidate. for the

Announcements of candidates for the various appointive offices seem to be the general order of the day at present. Such being the fact. the editor of this paper may be pardoned for modestly announcing that he is candidate for appointment as receiver of public mon ies of the Prescott land office when President Harrison gets down the list to that office. We ask for the office believing we have the ability necessary to discharge the duties, and from the fur ther fact that VIC have been engaged in the newspaper business, fighting the battles of the republican party, now for a period of nearly twenty years, during which time we have never asked or received any acknowledgement from the party, in the way of offi- cial position. Being firm belle yer, ss we'll as always having been a strong ad- vocate of the doctrine, that with com potency and integrity to fill any ofi cial position, and all other things being equal those actively engaged in promul- gating the principles of the party, and
 working for its success should have recognition from it. in the way of politl- cal preferment, we have for the first time in our life 'shied our castor into the ring" to ask the republican party for an appointment In doing so we have no apologies to offer for our repub. licanism as the principles are so thor oughly ingrafted into our nature that we may have times, been guilty, in the eyes of opponents, of offensive partisanship"

coMs,pERArE DURHAM.

AS lS well known 10 tns peonis oi this territory generally, the JOURNAL MINER presented the lowest bld for printing the bills of the Fifteenth legis- lature. The bids were received on the I9th of January. and despite the fact that Secrytary Bayard was able to award the contract for such work two years ago within two hours after the bids were opened, i, required twenty-seven days for him to get information this year to to enable him to do it. when we were notified that our bid was rejected. 4 communication was addressed to M. ]. Durham, of the compuoller's office, al Washington, asking for the reasons for the rejection fof the lowest bid The following is the reply of that worthy dig ni,ary, who will now be relega,ed to pri- vate lie by republican administration, a place where he will not have an oppor- tunity to vent his partisan spleen at the expense of the public
 TREASURY DEPARTMENT, FIRST CoMPTRoLLER'S OFFICE,
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 76. 1889 ] ]. C. Martin. Editor and Manager ARI-
 zoEA JouRNAI-MINER. Prescott, Ariz.:
 SIR-In response to your communica- aon dated February IS, 1889, asking in- formation regarding bids for bill printing for the territorial legislature, have to say that Secretary Bayard was instructed that as the legislature had gone to Phe- nix, Il would be necessary to get the bill printing done by some printer in Phenix. No Injustice" was intended to be done to you. as owing to the change ot loca- ton fpr the legislature sitting. thls work could not he done m Prescott.
 Respectfully,
 NJ. ]. DURHAM,
 First Comptroller. By l. R. Garrison, Deputy First Comp
 treller.
 That MT. Durham has wilfuly lied in the above communication or that Secre- tary Bayard has violated the instructions O! his superior is evidenced by the fact that the work was not given out 10 a Phenix printer, but to the man who pre- sented competitive bid with the JoUR- NAL-MINKR. It IS true that he has sub iet the contract to Phenix printer, just IS we would have done had the award been made to this office, as it was en- titled to.
 The considerate action of Mr. Durham on behalf of this paper entities him to a chromo. The bid presented by us was accompanied by a bond of $I, 600 for the faithful performance of the work, and the first comptroller of the treasury makes very weak and feeble excuse fer his partisan action at an expense to the l government of more than twice what the | work would have cost under the IoUR- bid.
 This transactiin only illustrates the general partisan policy of the admins ration which went out of power to-day. Suspicious of irregularity in regard to he expenditures made two years ago for legislative printing exist, and applications o the comptroller's department, backed y afhdavits, fail 10 have any light brown upon them. These suspicious re only strengthened by the like Hence of MT. Durham on the subject, rho IS familiar with all the facts in the ase. Time will, however. reveal the ruth, as the Cooks were to-day turut c ver into honest hands-lnto the hands f party which has never used pubic fhce as ap instrument 10 reward parti- ac papers.

Dots from Kelton.

Mr.. EDIToR.-As you have so many cor
respondents from kclton it leaves me no
news to write; but some of them probably
don't farm, and they have ample time to
write up Kelton.
Farming work is in advance of former
years aud ic the beautiful weather holds
good for planting we may thank God that
we have not suffered the ravages of storms
as many other sections have. Wheat is
looking fine aud promises fair yield at
present. Oats are looking fine also, and
largo amount has been sowei in this sec.
tion. So, taking all things in consideration,
we have tiattering prospects for good crops.
The members Of the kelton Alliance are
well pleased with their arrangements for
buying goods. They buy much cheaper
than usual; but they must bear in mind

A False Tongue

Mr.. EpIroR.-For many years l have
painfully thought over one of tho great
curses to our countryside false tongue.
And % greatly dol detest this dangerous
thought WOULD 4hAfs hit he hsaxfp pa66fe, a96tf9e
through the press.
dread the false tongue far far more than
the burglar or thief, aud was SO taught by
my mother. We can lock our homes again It
the one but not the other-that strikes
stealthily and with fatal aim at character.
In many cases in our courts we hear so
much false testimony amounting to perjury
that no wonder the juries are often puz.
zled rs to what are the real facts, and that
they could but fail to give justice. l am
one who believes it to be the imperative
duty of every one claiming to be friend
to his country, TO be ever ready aud willing
TO so into case, with conscientious de-
termination to truthfully testify, and in any
peaceful way give aid to secure justice be-
tween parties in the case or iu any matters
out of it, in order that truth might prevail
over falschood, aud that honor, society,
christianity AMI civilization may rise to
higher plane fhah to, drag through the
dirty scum of the false tongue.
If n tue gentleman, from some cause,
SHOULD happen to speak ill of another and
afterwards find his charge untrue, he will
at once sincerely re.ract and ask pardon
but if he be not q gentleman he will never
retract, although discove ring its untruth
unless he be cocrccd to do so. The latter
is ever ready to catch up harmless circum-
stances and manu- ufacturc th EN- into a shane
