By the Governor. NATHAN O. MURPHY,
 Secretary of Arizona.

Governor Wolfey should either require his appointees to Territorial office to submit their claims to the courts whose duty it is to adjudi
 cate such controversies, or he should recognize the Zulick appointees. If he accepts the opinion of Attorney
 General Miller that all the laws passed after the expiration of 60 days are void, he is bound to recog- nize the appointees of Governor Zulick, unless It is conceded that he has the power to remove at will. One thing is certain; if Governor Wolfey insists upon having con- gross pass a law legalizing the acts passed by the legislature which convened after he assumed the ot- flee of governor, he tacitly admits that the acts of the said legislature are illegal, and if they are, by what authority does Governor Wolfey refuse to recognize the territorial officials appointed by Zulick? and refuses to allow them the legal com pensation flor the performance of their official duties? The fact is Attorney General Miller, Secretary
 Noble nor congress has anything to do with this Arizona muddle. It is matter which belongs entire ly to the court, and after it has pass ed upon the question submitted and it then appears that congress sional enabling act is necessary it will be time enough then to move for such an act. But our court should be appealed to first. Ifthose holding Governor Wolfey's com mission have not sufficient faith in their title to the office they claim, to go into court, they should throw them up, and thus end the muddle

Conspicuous among the notices
 on the walls of the room in which the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union is meeting in Chicago is large inscription read ing, Gods Curse Upon High Li- cense." Whether this is an invo- cation or a malediction cannot be easily discerned, but it will occur to many religious people that in either event it is particularly irrev- erent. The habit that so many estimable people have of commit ting the Deity to their side of a con- troversy as though they were en- powered to speak for Him and to demand or threaten in His name is about as offensive as habit could be. Whatever this useful and im- portant association of women may think about the Deity's views of high license, they are in no sense charged with the responsibility of declaring them, and if any expres- sion of the Divine will is to be of fered, it would be better to let it come directly.-New York Tribune.

Horrible Death.

On last Wednesday night at about o'clock a. m. as the the east bound train No. 2. was pulling out from Bellemont a young Mexican by the name of Carlos Peralto attempted to ride the brakes and was run over and killed. He was first seen by the brakesman sitting on the water tank with his feet resting on the baggage car, and was ordered to get off which he did. He then walk ed toward the back end of the train and again attempted to steal a ride and not being noticed by the train men, the signal to go was given. The train had gone but a few feet when this unfortunate mans body was mangled by the moving train the wheels running over the lower part of hls body, almost severing his legs from the body, the same being held together only by small muscles. He was not dead when first reached, and spoke only few words. He said he was from Soco- TO, N. NJ. no one seemed to know him. The wounded man was placed on the train and brought to Flag staff, when pr. Cornish, the phy- sician of the A. & P. Railroad Com pany was summoned, but the poor Mexican had passed beyond any mortal aid, and died at 2 o'clock that night. Judge Weatherford summoned jury to hold an in- quest over the body, and the ver- dict was, that he came to his death | from the causes mentioned, and without criminal negligence on the part of any one.-Flagstaff Demo- crat.

circulation. The national banks do not furnish circulation needed by the country, and the government is called upon to do so. It meets the demand by issuing silver certifi- cates of small denominations, SUD- plying loss of national bank notes and meeting requirements of trade. There is no doubt in my mind that the situation points clearly to imme- diate prospect of increased pur- chase of silver to meet the actual wants of the country"

Suprise will certainly be caused by the d. cision of the General Term in regard to the Tilden will. A de cision upholding the will was ren- dered by Judge Lawrence more than year ago. That decision is now re- versed by Judge Van Brunt, with whom Judge Brady concurs, while a strongly dissenting opinion is written by Judge Daniels. Beyond doubt there will be an appeal to the highest court. Without pre- suming to express an opinion on the legal questions involved, we may say that it will be public ca lamity if Mir. Tilden's intention to give this city magnificent library in ultimately defeated. One feature of the matter is amazing-that two lawyers of such acknowledged learning, ability and acumen as the late Mir. Tilden and MT. James c. Carter, the present leader of the New York bar, were not able to draw a will that could run the gant- let of the Supreme Court, General Term.-New York Tribune.

GEN. MILES asks for an appro. priation of $3,5OO,OOO for Pacific coast defences. One of the argu. ments he urges for this appropria- ton is, that there is $25,O00,OO0 in the San Francisco mint alone, and that it is sore temptation to any third rate naval power to plunder the coast.

HOlbrOOk Letter.

EDITOR HERALD-Last Saturday our usually quiet town was thrown into as much excitement, as if a brand new monkey with an organ attachment, had suddenly appeared on the streets. However, the ani- nal was here without the organ-at least, l did not see the organ-and announced himself to be General Blowhard," and "bad man from Bitter creek" The General is sort of government agent, or something of the kind, and imagines, in his inordinate conceit, that he is big ger man than Benny" yes, a dog gone site bigger man than Ben. In fact, gentlemen, Ben is small pota- toes compared with me, General Blowhard. As I was about to re- mark, the General concluded to do little painting" after getting himself ginned up to the proper pitch, and as a starter had some words with one of our prominent merchants, winding up his chin music by drawing his pop and threatening to plant the merchant Zen el campo de santo" over near the bluff.
 To make the story short, the mer- chant hied him to the Justice of the Peace and swore to a complaint charging his nibs with an assault with deadly weapon. The blath- ersklte-beg parding-the General, was arrested, taken before the Jus tice and given till Monday to make his plea. Whilst in the presence of the court, this wind-bag attempted to dictate to the Justice what was and what was not his duties, but was quietly and emphatically Sat down upon, and informed that the Legislature made the laws, n.iand that the manipulator of the judi cial scales in that particular pre- cinct, would deal out the law with out fear or favor.
 The most amusing part of the farce was in the fools (windy) at tempt 10 bluff the Justice; for, to us who know the Judge, we are pretty certain it would require not less than a whole box-car load of Blowhards, to make our Justice even think of taking to the water. To sum up, blatherskite-beg par ding again-the General got pret- ty stiff "blind" and his pistol con- fiscated according to law; notwith- standing his nibs made some big talk to the effect that mo Justice of the Peace could confscate his pis- tol, and if he really wanted the gun he would go right into the Justices office and take it." But strange to relate, the valiant General didn't seem to want the gun-at least not very bad at any rate. Go soak your head, thou foolish wind-bag, and learn to estimate yourself about as other people have properly sized you up, and however humiliating the truth may be to you, still the potatoes will be found to be deuced small and devilish few to the hill.

The recent arrival of cattle buy CTS from California is an encourage ment to stockmen. It is currently reported and believed by cattle owners that a better rate of freight will be in vogue on the Southern Pacific inside of thirty days. The sale of large bunch of cattle to Vickery & Hines, of Los Angeles, by the Soldiers Holes Cattle Com pany is reported, and the first ship ment will be made on Sunday. The price paid is not publicly known, although it is pretty safe to put it at $7.80 from what has been drop ped here and there.-Prospector.

THE financial chiefs at Washing ton are becoming alarmed over the silver question. In recent inter view by the Mail and Express, with a prominent Treasury official the following startling figures were ob- tained: "The standard silver dol lars in the Treasury in July, 1886, was $94,000,000 in round numbers. In July 1887, it was $67 100000; in July 1888 it was S42.OOO,OOO; in July 1889, it was $21 100000, and on October 10th last it was but $5,- OOO,OOO."
 When asked what the result of this shrinkage would be, the reply was: "These comparisons show plainly that it is but a question of few months when the demand for silver circulation will be greater than the supply. What may be done with congress so close upon us, can not be said but what will have to be done is clearly to increase the supply. The business of the coun- try is very brisk at this season of the year, and people must have more money for circulating me dium.

 highly favored people, mindful of their dependence on the bounty of a Divine Providence, should seek a fitting occasion to testify their gratitude and ascribe praise to him who is the author of their many blessings. It behooves them to look back with thankful hearts over the past year and bless God for his intimate mercy in vouchsaf- ing to our land endu uring peace; to our people freedom from pestilence and famine; to our husbandmen abundant harvests, and to those that labor recompense for their toll.
 "Now therefore, I, Benjamin Har- rison President of the United States of America, do earnestly recommend that Thursday the 2Sth day of this present month, November. be set apart as theday of National Thanks giving and prayer, and that the people of our country, ceasing.from cares and labors of their working days, shall assemble in their re- spective places of worship and give thanks to God, who has prospered us on our way and made our paths the paths of peace, and beseech Him to bless the day to our present and future good, making it truly one of thanksgiving for each reuni- ted home circle as a nation at large.
 In witness whereof I have here unto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be af- fixed.
