In his speech on the Montana sena-
torial contest in the Senate, Mr.. Evarts,
Of New York, in his argument, which
was by far the ablest discussion OF the
constitutional points involved, extract
ed the meat from the question and pre-
sented it in a convincing manner. 1t
was not an appeal to partisan feeling,
but a clear statement Of the right Of the
Republicans in the Montana Legislature
to select two senators, in view Of the
action OF the Democratic rump assembly
in refusing to. act with them. Mr..
Evarts clearly showed that the Repub-
lican action with reference to the dis
puted elections in Silver Bow county
was constitutional and that the Repub-
lican Legislature was a constitutional
body. In Discussing this latter point
he said: 7L
We can not have two assemblies. That l sup.

Now that the case has been decided by
the Senate, the Democratic journals Of
the country will doubtless cry them
selves hoarse over the alleged exercise
Of partisan power. On this point Mr..
Evarts said:
''Thc Senators arc going to decide the question

the laws and their duties require between
the competing claimants who stand at our door:

 Judge c. F. Ainsworth returned yesterday from California, where he has been enjoying strolling vacation along the sea coast from San Francisco to San Diego. He speaks in fervid admira- ton about the summer resorts along the Pacific's brim, and thinks that San Francisco is one of the finest cities in the Union, being especially pleased with the excellence of her cable roads, which radiate from Market street, giving speedy transportation to all parts of the city. Still, though he leaves Mrs. Aims worth in San Francisco, the Judge is glad to be back in Phoenix, where the raw winds of the ocean are never known.

LOCAL BREVITIES.

The Court House was depopulated yesterday, almost every official being out rustling for his official existence.
 Again there was no eastern mail yes teroay. The trouble this time is around Pantano, about twenty miles east of Tucson.
 Early yesterday morning an intoxi- cated Mexican tried to enter the back door of the St. Louis Exchange and made vicious assault upon the bar keeper, who woke up and stopped his entrance. The Marshal was called and gathered the Mexican into the fold.
 Several freighters are making an attempt to excite public interest in the improvement of the Castle Creek road to the Bradshaws. Politics, however, seems to be the only thing now thought of. Perhaps when the nominations are made the local merchants will turn their attention to the improvement of this most necessary highway.
 Superintendent w. E. Parish, of the Union mine, was in the city yesterday. He states that his mill is running, with a day shift only, upon a dump of 100 tons of ore, which it is expected to com plete by means of the water in the mine. The water level is fast receding and in a few days the mine will be emptied. Drifting will then be pushed to strike a vein of water which is known to exist.
 Assistant United States District Attor. ney Wilson yesterday received a tele- gram from Nogales stating that Mounted Inspector Peter Jenson had captured, near that point, eight Chinese, who had just crossed the line from Mexico. They are now held at Nogales, and no doubt will be treated in much the same man. ner as were the twenty-four other line jumpers.
 Yesterday afternoon while Charles Thompson, of Ayua Fria, was loading lumber for the Humbug placers at Ryder's yard, young animal in the four-horse team became frightened and started the team on the run. They swung into MonteZuma street and made neat turn into Washington, George Fifield barely managing to get Burnett's hack out of the way. At the corner of Court House plaza a horsenan turned the team into Mojave street, one of the wheel horses slipping into the ditch, on the turn, and, falling, was run over by forward wheel. This brought things up with round turn, with nothing damaged save an iron coupling rod between the two wagons.

Kansas narrated to me his experiences en route: "You see," he said, 'I have friend here was very anxious to visit, and, being in Texas, on a commercial tour, concluded to extend my journey as far West as Ph9nix.

We'll. here am. haven't seen anything very wild yet, and as for the heat-why, the day l left Kansas suffered far more from the heat than l do now, and people were dying by the dozens.

SAN DIEGO TO PHOENIX.
A RAILROAD THAT IS NEEDED BY
 BOTH CITIES.
MT. A. Redewil Says the People There Are Ready To Join San Diego in Such an Enterprise.

From the San Diego Union
 "Yes, Phoenix would with alacrity join San Diego in any project to build q railway from the bay through Arizona" !" said A. Rediwell, live business man from the Territorial Capital to the Union yesterday. Mir. Redewill is an old timer in the Southwest country, who comes on visit to enjoy the salubrious breezes of the bay region.
 'I was here many years ago." he said, seventeen years or more, l think. There was not much here then. San Diego has prospered wonderfully, but if we only had railway from San Diego to Phoenix prosperity such as the two cites have never yet experienced would open to them.
 "The route? A railroad should cross the desert to Yuma, then follow up the Gila river to the Salt River Valley. Such a line would open up a vast, very fertile region. The Southern Pacifc's line is through desolate, sandy waste and it leaves Phoenix several miles off. It misses the very best part of Arizona. No, 1t would not do to merely make a junction with the Southern Pacific at Yuma the line should penetrate inde- pendent territory. You have no idea of the resources of Arizona. If San Diego had an independent line into that country, it would put you on equal foot ing with San Francisco, and your mcr- chants would soon encroach upon trade that is now almost entirely under the control of san Francisco. Whenever the people of San Diego get ready to under take the construction of such line, they may be certain that Phoenix will cooperate with them, because it would be mutually advantageous. It would give Phoenix and her splendid country the direct and short outlet to the sea coast that is so much needed and it would give san Diego territory that is geo. graphically hers"
 MT. Redewill will soon return to the Arizona capital.

FoR the benefit of outside exchanges, the editors of which are amusing them- selves in depicting the horrors of a summer in Arizona, we might say that not only no death has occurred in the Territory from the effects of the heat but there has not been single prostra. tion from that cause. There have been no uncomfortable nights and just now blankets are often needed. That of Arizona is probably the worst abused climate in the United States.

TIE old army always had strong attachment for Santa F6. It was their favorite station, the welcome haven from many wearisome and hard cam paigns. And no wonder, for Santa Fe is a delightfully."- located town, with it's quaint plaza and charming climate. It is still essentially military, despite it's modern growth, and more so than any town of the West. Despite these facts, however, it is not eligibly located as the headquarters of the Department of Ari- zona. Tucson or Prescott is entitled to that distinction.

"ARIzoNAN" or Arizonian"-which is correct? is question often asked. The former seems preferable and is the more extensively used. To keep it company are many corresponding proper adjec- lives, such as Alaskan, Nebraskan, Dakotan, Guatemalan, etc. There seems to be no tenable argument for the use in this connection of the sufiix "ian."

AN experienced fruit grower assures me that bees do not injure fruit; that, on the contrary, they are actually ben eft, in carrying the pollen from bud to bud. A bee cannot cut through the skin of any fruit and will never be found buzzing around a tree that has none but sound fruit. Bees will be found to follow after June bugs. These latter insects will cut into peaches as badly as rabbits might and the bees are thus enabled to reach the juices of the fruit.

THE Apache county editor, by means of the columns of the Re publican, complains that the Mor- mons are directed by the church how to vote. He studiously re- frains, however, from mentioning the fact that he was elected in 1886 County Judge, by the Mormon vote, (the only office he ever held or ever will hold in Apache county) over a Mormon opponent. He does not enlighten the readers of the Repub- lican as to the fact that he canvass ed Apache county that year, and was in almost every Mormon settle ment in it, batting Mormons on the back in order to secure their votes on election day. Neither does he tell the readers of the Republican that when he was legislated out of office that the Mormons, together with the Democratic Gentiles of the coun- ty, prevailed on Gov. Zulick to ap- point him Probate Judge, although he was a Republican. To tell these facts now, would not suit his pur- pose. He used them until they found him out, and now that he can use them no longer, he wants them disfranchised.

i Killing OH the AriVaipa.

G. ". Apsuy, an Englishman about A years ofage, was arrested at his ranch on the Arivaipa, ten miles from Old Camp Grant, by Lieut.. Watson, on the 14th inst. for the killing of a man on the pre- vious day. Apsuy was taken to San Carlos and placed in the guard house. The prisoner was we'll known in Globe five or six years ago, and had a bunch of cattle To- cated about 12 miles from here, on the old Florence road
 Following is Apsuy'S statement of the shooting and causes which led up to it: He says he left his ranch about two weeks ago to go to Dudleyville for supplies, and while there the water washed away Cooks store he stayed to help Cook save his goods. When he returned to the ranch few days ago, he found that county supervisor Childs had reported him dead and had dis charged his hired man and employ ed another, and was going to sell his property, as administrator. This hired man, named Andy, sad died up Apsuy's mule, turned his three COWS out, stole his money and notes, about $13O and a six shooter and was riding away. Ap- suy told him to come back he re- piled that he was going to drive the COWS in and would not do it. He (Apsuy) { shot him with a Winches- ter; found his money on him. Hogs were eating the body up and he tried to burn it.-Silver Belt.

Common Sense.

The man Halliday who was ar rested and is in jail at Tucson was read out of the Mormon church year ago. The effort of the Citi- zen and Republican to create feel ing against the Mormon church on account of the misdeeds of one or two polygamists is so utterly non- sensical that no intelligent Catho- lie, Protestant, Methodist or Infidel will fail to see the straits to which politicians will resort to blind a voter by appealing to ignorance on affairs on which he is not posted. That there are polygamists among the Mormons, is just as true as there are outlaws, vagabonds, stran- glers and fornicators in all other denominations but Is that any req son why the entire church should be condemned for the wrong doings of one or more of its members? Why were the Mormons selected by the maker of the republican plat form as target for the Edmunds bill. That bill is sweeping in it's ideas of reforming society. Let the party of morality, now that they are in power, carry out the provi sions of the Edmunds act, and bring before the bar of justice every dem- ocrat who transgresses the edicts of that enactment. Then the people will be led to believe that they are sincere in their effort to reform so- ciety instead of believing as they now do that it is simply dodge to disfranchise democratic voters.- Prospector.

They Fired a VOlley at DiaZ.

New Orleans, September 25.--The New Orleans Times-Democrat's San Antonio, Tex, special says:
 A prominent railway official who reached San Antonio this morning from the City of Mexico relates the startling story of an attempt on the life of President Diaz during the national celebration on the 11th inst. During the climax of the festivities the President, accompa- nied by bis personal staff, stepped out on the piazza to witness the pyrotechnic display.
 No sooner had he appeared than a volley of musketry sounded, and bits of brick and timber be- gan to fly around his head. He re :. treated hurriedly to his room, fo,- lowed by his staff. Three bullets whizzed dangerously near him.
 Forty men are known to have
The St. Johns herald., 1890-10-02

been connected with the murderous plot, fifteen of whom are now in jail and the others are fleeing pre- cipitately from the country. The news of the dastardly deed has been suppressed in Mexico by the Government officer.
 The reason for the attack Is as- signed to various causes, the most important of which is that the President is strongly suspected of coquetting with the clerical party, which is in direct conflict political ly and socially with the Liberals, to whom Diaz owes his power.
The St. Johns herald., 1890-10-02
Cold Facts.

It is a fact that less than three per cent of the Mormons are polyg- amists, and yet the Republican par ty wants to disfranchise every mem- Der of the Mormon church who re- fuses to vote the Republican ticket. They may deny this statement but the cold facts stare that party in the face. In Wyoming, where the Mormons have always voted the Republican ticket, no effort has ever been made to disfranchise them; but in Idaho, where the Mormons have always voted with the Democratic party, congress passed the test oath which disfran- chises them, and like bill is now before congress to disfranchise the Mormons in Arizona. In the name of justice, has 1t come to this pass? That Mormon can only enjoy his religious convictions undisturbed so long as he votes the Republican ticket? And if he chooses to vote the Democratic ticket he must be disfranchised. The telegrams from Wyoming last week say the Nor mons voted the Republican ticket solid, to this the Republicans say amen; and so say the democracy ii they believe in the principles of that party.-Star.
