The vicissitudes of fortune were
 probably never more forcibly illus trated than in the caree of ex-Gover- nor Ross, of New Mexico, who, it is announced, has accepted position as type-setter on the Santa Fe New Mexican. During the civil war Ross was stalwart Republican and ed ited a paper at Lawrence, Kansas, and subsequentlybecame influential in the councils of his party in that State, and during Lincoln's second term as President we find Ross re- presenting Kansas in the United States Senate, succeeding James H. Lane. Few had more brilliant pros poets than he at that time, but an unforeseen contingency happened, soon after the assassination of Lin- coin, which resulted in his political eclipse. The eventful incident was the impeachment trial of Andrew Johnson, in which Ross, and his Republican colleagues, Trumbull and Fessenden, following the dic- tates of their consciences in oppo- sition to the party mandate, voted against impeachment. For this of fense they were politically ostra- cised, and at the expiration of his term Ross lost his seat ill the Sen ate, since which time his career was somewhat obscure until appointed, by President Cleveland, Governor of New Mexico which position he filled with credit, and the fact that he re- tires from office as poor as when he went in, and carrying with him the respect of the people of New Mexico speaks volumes for his sterling in- dependence and integrity.-Globe Silver Belt.

 The above in the shape of a large display sensational head is the cap ton in the San Francisco Exami- ner of a half column solid matter article of reportorial rot, the most of which is purely and solely the imaginings of the mushy brain of some reportorial dunce. The Ex aminer is a good paper, but the manager of that sheet should at once take a cotton-stuffed club, such a club being. hard enough for the purpose, and batter out the mushy brains of nine-tenths of it's present reportorial staff. There is not ten year old school boy in Arizona, but is better posted in matters geograph- ical than are nine-tenths of those San Francisco reporters. There is no scout in Arizona named Edwar- dy, at least none deserving the name of scout; nor is Holbrook an h. dian agency; nor is Gallup in Ari- zona, etc, etc. To read the stuff occasionally published in the Ex- aminer, one is forced into the belief that the reporters of that paper are too ignorant to even know the loca- tion of a single state capitol or town outside of San Francisco. Please do give us rest in the matter of senseless and idiotic drivelings, particularly of the sort now dished up by your reporters.

THE Journal-Miner in an edito-
 rial of a recent date insinuates
 pretty strongly that the courts of
 Apache county are run by a "click. J
 Or, to put it in plain language, the
 officials of this county pack juries to secure certain ends, without re-
 gard to law or evidence. The Jour
 nal-Miner, has from time to time,
 made many comments on local mat ters in this county, of which 1t does, and can know nothing. The man. ager of that paper will take the statements of few, some of whom, perhaps, will be called upon to plead guilty or not guilty" to offences of a grave and serious nature, at our next term of court, for gospel truth, and publish to the world charges of the most infamous nature, about and against men who are as far above them in the scale of morali- ty, honesty and integrity, as the heavens above the earth. Such course may be journalistic. in the estimation of the manager of that paper-he may think he is doing the country a service in abusing and villifying men whom he does not know, perhaps never heard of, but we are tree to confess that we look at it in very different light. Our idea is that he is lending and pros tituting his high calling for the qualification of the base and person al vindictiveness of a lot of as un- scrupulous scoundrels as ever dis graced any community.
 If the Journal-Miner will send representative to St. Johns, and let him get list of the grand and pet ty jurors who served at the last term of our District Court and make rigid inquiries, that paper will learn that the two branches were filled by men belonging to both political par ties, and taken as a whole that they were representative men. Let him investigate further, and he will find that their characters are beyond re- proach that they were men of more than average ability, and that they represented the law-abiding and respectable portion of the people of this county.

"The Citizen"

the Albuquerque Citizen is at his old tricks again; seeking to traduce honorable citizens of Arizona by the publishing of malicl"us mis- statements in the Citizen.
 An impartial jury of Apache county decided that R. E. Morrison, author of "Run by a Ring" lied when he penned that slander-ren- dered verdict against him for $500 and costs.
 The Supreme Court of the Terri tory, at the same time that it de livered, under its contract with the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Com pany, that batch of decisions in its interest, dld reverse the Johnston Morrison libel suit.
 It has been intimated that prom ise of Republican influence in re- taining his position on the bench is the explanation of Barnes decision , in that case. But be the cause what it may, the reversal in no wise ex- onerates Morrison-it simply gives him a new trial, because the lower court erred in not permitting Nor rison to give his explanation of what he meant.
 The verdict of the jury that he lied still stands in the memory of every man who heard it.
 A few weeks since Johnston was at the District Court of this county ready and able to reprove to anoth- CT jury that Morrison was libeller. But he and his attorney squirmed and twisted, and finally obtained continuance until September, on the score of absent witnesses, all of whom reside at Holbrook and Winslow, and any one of whom could have been had had they been wanted.
 According to the Democrats newsgatherer, Morrison was indict cd because he was a Republican. That is simply lie, out of whole cloth, with nothing to palliate or excuse it. The complexion of the grand jury was we'll known to the author of the article when he made that misstatement. The strongest and most influential members of the grand jury were Republicans but they knew, as all decent men ' do, that Morrison was, and is, gull ty of malicious criminal libel, and he was, for that reason, indicted, and when the court meets in Sep tember, he will be tried and con- victed, and we hope properly pun ished for his crime, combining as it does not only the usual character istics of crime, but also the cow ardice which characterizes the as- sassin.
 As to Alfred Ruiz's indictments we are not willing to prejudge his cases-but if the accounts present. ed are false, then the amount fraud ulently obtained amounts to more than $500. The items of $2 was selected by the District Attorney | purely for the purpose of the in dictment-as he could have select ed any other item. The record | shows this, and the author of the article could have known it had he desired. Further, these items were @. K.ed' by the District Attorney, Harris Baldwin" Another lie. They were never presented to the District Attorney. They were slip ped in by Ruiz's slick deputy, E. w. Nelson. The record shows that the accounts in question were not passed on by the District Attorney, and the writer could have known that if he had wished. But he pre- terred to write lie,

That sWl4dle.

To get away with nearly a quar- ter of a million dollars in two years, over and above the ordinary costs of the requirements of the govern ment of the Territory seems to have been the destiny of the Zulick ad- ministration that kicked the ras- calls out" four years ago. What makes this enormous increase in the coste of the last two years oi the Zulick administration? There have been no improvements of a public nature to call on the General Fund to that extent. It seems al- most ir credible that so much of the peoples funds could be made away with; and yet, the figures of the Zulick officials show the facts, as given elsewhere. No wonder that the taxes of this Territory are re- garded as oppressive by the people. The question now is, will the peo- pie longer support party that thus gets away with their money? There is something wrong with the Gene ral Fund business where the great discrepancyappears that needsclear- ing up and that it will now be in vestigated and the criminality fixed there is no question, unless the guil- ty parties makes way with the evi- dence, which will be sufficient in it. self to establish the crime if it should prevent it's legal punishment Phoenix Herald.
 The foregoing excerpt from the Phoenix Herald indicates a really surprising state of affairs in the General Fund business" of this Territory. Surprising to us as a Democrat as much, perhaps more, than it was to the Republican edi- tor of the Phoenix Herald. As a Democrat, we cannot conceive in what manner so great a discrepan- cy was incurred in so short a time :; but, to the Republican editor of the Herald, a ''great discrepancy" is easily made and as easily explain ed. We hope the Governor will now whoop up his investigation in to this gigantic { Democratic swim dle, and in doing so, "let no guilty man escape"
 Forsooth "A quarter of a mill ion dollars in two years," greater expenditures for the years 1887 and '88, than for the corresponding pe- riod of 1885 and 'S6.

 However, in the light of Gov. recent retraction of the charge, 1t does seem at this dis tance, and to an unprejudiced indi- viduaI, that the most appropriate procedure for Bro.
