THE morning "hog wash" run by no outfit, styled the Gazette company, and edited by gang of petty political pap suckers takes this paper to task proba- bly on account of an item in our last is- sue, in which We upheld J. Y. T, Smith for territorial treasurer. We were dis appointed in the change of the admins t-eticn, ;n the placing of Republican in office as president of the United States and thereby giving this territory Re- publican governor, but our motto has always been. ''to the victor belongs the spoils" We are still considerate enough to hold fast to that motto, and if the laws of this territory are to be upheld the governor has certainly right to re- move, at will, the territorial treasurer, and We say, out with him, and place therein man, who will act with the ad- ministrstion and thereby stop this fight ing for spells. A true Democrat will not hold an office under a Republican ad- ministration, when he knows full well that he is not wanted and in consequence we must say that it IS not to the benefit of the territory or credit to his party that MT. Foster will persist in trying to hold an office not legally his.-Arizonan.

THE tempest in teapot is again to
 the fore in Graham covnty. The board of supervisors called for sealed proposals
 for county printing. These proposals were made, opened in due form and the printing was awarded to the Bulletin, although its bid was largely in excess of that of the Clarion. This style of doing business called forth vigorous protest from the Clarion. It objected to being put in the soup at the county expense, and the ball opened. It is not difficult to foresee what view the taxpayers of the county will take of such business when the affairs of Graham again comes before them for adjudication. The Bull letin in defending the action of the board of supervisors says:
 "The Clarion bid was for Headed" Nonpariel; mark you, Headed" was care fully inserted, but the thickness or num- Der of Heads to be placed between the lines was not mentioned Now for the benefit of the general public we will ex- plain to them that Headed" as this bid was worded, would mean that the dis honest printer could, by a system long practiced in the Clarion office, slip in Heads" enough between the lines to stretch out or extend the measurement from one-third to double what honest or solid Nonpariel would be-"
 The Clarion's bid was for Headed" Nonpariel. "Leaded," in all printing offices means one lead only. If two are used, then the term "double-leaded" is applied; and if three leads are placed between the lines, the cognomen "slug" is used instead of Head" The Clarion's tender for Headed" nonpariel was just as explicit and binding as though it specified solid" matter. The statement of the Bulletin that by the term leaded, a man can place as much space between the lines of his paper as he likes, is ridic- ulous. Any printer or publisher in the territory will bear us out in this state ment, and the Bulletin man, if he claims to have any knowledge of printing terms, should be ashamed to make his ignor- ance so public as he does, when he says leaded matter means unlimited space.
 Possibly the Bulletin may say this is none of our business and probably he may be correct in the matter, but when we see brother quill foundering in the adobe We like to take hold and help him this and nothing more.

BRADSTREETS REPORTS.

An article in Bradstreetis, a recog- nized authority in the United States upon matters pertaining to finance and commerce, says:
 It is English money, that is to drain the valley of Mexico, English money that is to open the best coffee and to- bacco lands in the republic by means of the Oaxaca railway, and when the rail way comes that is to connect Guate- mala and Mexico, it will be British sov- ereigns that will build it. At this moment railways are going forward in Mexico that will cost not less than S4O,- 100000, all of which is being raised in Great Britain. Funds will ultimately be secured in the same quarter for the proposed line from San Diego to Guada- lajara via Ensenada, the mouth of the Colorado river and Mazatlan, connecting with the Mexican Central at Guadala- jara, this project when accomplished will open direct line from the City of Mexico to San Francisco. English mer- chants are likely to increase their trade with Mexico to some extent in conse- quence of these changes in the control of the transportation facilities of the interior.
 American manufacturers and mer- chants have never gone to work in the right way te cultivate the Mexican mar ket. The conditions of business in the neighboring country are so differen from those at home that an entirely new commercial training must be had to in sure even moderate degree of success. Recently, moreover, a new treaty of friendship commerce and navigation" has been concluded between Great Britain and Mexico, which contains provisions of no little value to the commercial in terests of the United Kingdom. While the United States had consistently re- fused to take the advantage of recip- rocity treaty, the British government has improved a splendid opportunity. Investments, however, will still without question be made by capitalists of the United States in mines, cattle ranches and other projects, and these invest ments must influence trade more or less Various Mexican products are sold in this country to better advantage than elsewhere, and reciprocal trade is inc vitably encouraged thereby. While, therefore, the United States may increase its hold on the commerce of Mexico less rapidly hereafter, if at all, there is no immediate danger of loosing the existing pre-eminence.

OFFICE 1:
THE SITUATION.

It has been long established custom for the Democratic press to harp on Re publican gall, and from time immemo- rial the Democrats have thrown up their hands in holy horror when Republican held office an hour under a Democratic administration, though such Republi- can may have been left in office because a worthy Democratic successor could not be found in the Democratic ranks.
 What an exhibition the present status of affairs in this Territory must be to to persons who have heretofore read the indignant articles in the Democratic press about Republicans holding over with Democratic administration. Here we have a lot of Democratic officials, who were in office when the affairs of the Territory were under Democratic administration. This was all right, but
 finally the Territorial administration changed hands, the Republicans passed into power, and what do We see, a sight is presented that would make marble statute of Fitzhugh-a bigger man than Grant-blush. We see lot of Democratic officials bounced from their offices and still hanging on to the coat tails of their Republican victors, as supplicants for the crumbs of office, even when to be donated Y the hands of their enemies. It is long while since the Democratic party has been dragged through the mud in this style. It is rare sight to see handful of men sacri- flee principles and honor of their party for few paltry offices. If the Demo cratic party can stand this kind of an exhibition, the Republicans ought not to grumble, as it will make political cap ital for them, and in the end this hang ing horde of Democrats will be pushed | to the wall.

THE grand jury which recently met in Solomonville, had some pretty cruel things to say of the supervisors of Graham County which called for pro- posals for County printing and then gave the contract to the Bulletin whose bid was the highest by fully one hun dred per cent. The district attorney was instructed to look into the matter and see that the contract was cancelled. We have no interest in the matter, but we believe in giving the devil bis due.

THE receiving editor of the morning .Hogwash," in an effort to run a Demo- cratic sheet, is retarded in his struggles by still clinging to the base principles of his grand" old Republican party. Better read up on democracy a little, Dunbar, and not try and pump your re- publican principles into the democrats of this intelligent community. The Ari- zonan is Democratic first and last, but when it is beaten, knows enough to lay down until the next opportunity for suc- cess, and not buck against sure thing game.-Arizonan.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

The Gazette is noted for its giant
 strides in politics. It has been known
 on several occasions to step from the frying pan into the fire and never was
 this more noticeable than when the oth-
 CT day they came out and admitted that
 many of the previous legislatures had
 been in session longer than 60 days, (as
 the Gazette counts sixty legislative days)
 and that the laws enacted by them after
 the sixty days (allowed by the Gazette)
 had expired, were in full force on the
 statute book today, with the cogniz-
 ance of congress. The Gazette IS now
 busiiy engaged backsliding from this inconsistent admission ion their part) but it won't do. The fact is that half the statutes of the territory were passed and approved under these circumstan- ces, and if the present legislature's acts are not legal, acting as they did with a full quorum, and inside of the limit of sixty legislative days, then our laws are in a condition of chaos, and many of the institutions in which our people take pride and from which the territory are deriving benefits have no real existence This would be a deplorable state of affairs, and the effect of such decision as to the legality of the legislature would be to upset the formation of counties created under such circum- stances to invalidate bonded indebted | ness, to wipe out valuable institutions, and to generally upset the affairs of the territory. Does the Gazette urge that this be done to serve the personal purses of few insignificant office holders who show by their conduct that they are a disgrace to their party.

state of affairs at Jefferson Barracks,
alleging thatrecruits are treated like dogs,
that:men are strung up BY their wrists
until they swoon from weakness; that
the brutal sergeants deem no cruelty too
severe. Itrelates how an insane man
was heartlessly tortured, and how com.
mon soldiers are Imprisoned at the whim
Of their superiors. It is also charged in
the expose that in the guard house,
where prisoners are packed into an
enclosure 20 by 40, the sanitary condi.
tion is terrible, and the place is a breeder
Of pestilence. Prisoners are kept from
sleep by vermin and their surroundings
are revolving in the extreme. Another

An Arkansas Free Fight.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, August s7.-fhe
Register prints the following: "1nforma-
tion reached this city yesterday of a ter.
rible negro riot at Jordsnbrook, not far
from Lockesburg in Sewer County, re-.
sulting in the death Of several and the
wounding of many others. Jordanbrook
is small town situated on the edge of
an immense strip of pine timber land
many miles from the nearest telegraph
office. For some time the negroes Of
the county have been spending their
Saturday nights in jubilee ceremony
in Che woods near the town and last Sat.
urday night was set as the time for
an especially large and uproarous gath
ering. A great quantity of whiskey was
introduced, people coming from all over
the country to participate in the Jubilee.
Shortly after nine o'clock trouble began
in quarrel between Jos. Jordan and
VIM. Newcomb, and it ended in New.
combs shooting Jordan in the breast
with q load of turkey shot. The wound.
ed man was carried into the woods and
while the fighting was still going on at
the grounds he died from his wounds
Meanwhile the utmost confusion and
uproar prevailed. The women scattered
to get out of the way, and the men fred
at each other in their drunken fury
without knowing whom they were shoot;
ing at. In the clamor that resulted it
was impossible to secure the names of
all the wounded and injured, but tits
known that several are fatally hurt, while
many are seriously hurt. Frank Holt is
known to be dead with four bullets in his
body, while Anderson Neal lay near him
shot through the hip. Three men met
in the darkness aud promptly began a
battle with pistols. As soon ss the news
reached Lockesburg posse of white men
started for the scene of the disturbance,
but the contestants had all disappeared
when they arrived. The grounds gave
evidence of the deadly struggle which
had taken place."
