 EDITOR ENTERPRISE:-lth has been some time since l have troubled you or your readers with anything from my pen and I might as well make an honest confession; that since that time, have to some ex- tent changed my views.
 1 was, and am still, in favor of retrench- ment and reform. l have felt and do feel that our taxes are burthensome and op- pressive, but like the balance of the hu- man family, have my weaknesses, and from the moment l heard that We were to have an organ" started in the Territory that would to a certain extent operate as Court Organs do to Her Majesty, the Queen of England or His Royal High ness, the Emperor of Germany, and at the same time that 1t was to come as a peace maker to harmonize all conflicting clements, 1 must say that my vanity was considerably elevated and l said to my self mo matter if 1t does bring me back again to ierly and beans straight, it will give the Territory a grand send-OH and no doubt will illustrate the true inward ness of home rule in all its purity to see constantly in the organ the Court record" which l imagined would read about as | follows:
 | His Excellency the Governor, rose quite | early this morning and after short walk in | the park with the Hon. Atty. Gen. Churchill, was served in his palatial apartments with q | light breakfast consisting of Salt river trout, | egg omelette, baked sweet potatoes and coffee. l The milk the Governor uses in his coffee Is obtained from a milk can. He insists that tin-can milk is much more beneficial for nourishing the brain than ordinary cows milk. Be this as it may, it Iis peculiarity of all great men, that they have peculiar ideas with regard to the food they eat that | sometimes makes them appear very odd. Ali ter the Governor finished his frugal breakfast and indulged a in homemade five cent cigar (he insists on patronizing home industry) he repaired to his chambers where he was en- 1 gagged for the next two hours, closeted with | the Hon. Atty. Gen. Churchill and other distinguished officials, considering Territorial matters, after which the doors were thrown open and His Ecxellency gave audience to the general public and graciously showered smiles oa the ladies and fondly embraced the babies and generally had kind words for all who ap- preached him.
 Then our old friend Bob Paul would no longer be mentioned in this plebeian way, but we should see his name men, toned as our distinguished fellow citizen, The Hon. Robert Paul, and Royal A. would be set forth as the learned Gen. Johnson, whose official duties were main ly being devoted to instructing the Sec retary of the Interior and the Commis- sioner of the General Land Office how to run their respective offices in Washing ton,
 1 must confess that these dazzling features of an organ captured me. 1 never thought before I was particularly in love with Royalty, but somehow the contrast was so great between this every day. humdrum life 1 had passed through for the last thirty years, living on jerked beef, pinole and beans and seeing people meet each other, each one thinking he was as good as the President of the United States or any other man, that it just struck me in tender place and I said at once, "If it takes the last doby to pay the expenses, let's have Court-Journal and draw the line somewhere.
 It has pained me more than I can ex- press to see the Citizen, Herald and other newspapers of the Territory in open re- bellion against this Court-Journal bus mess. It shows to my mind the same by the press generally, when an ambitions father or fond mother succeeds in making a market for their daughters with impecunious noblemen who have squandered their money and are willing to confer their titles and family name, upon even a Soap Chand- ler's daughter, if she has plenty of the needful to give i'll return. 1t has also been quite mortifying 10 me to learn that His EXcellency and other members of the Court have been obliged, like common mortals, to indulge in the groveling bus
 mess of soliciting patronage for the Court
 Journal. Is it possible that the rank and file have lost all pride Ill protecting the dignity of the Court Circle and that they will not rally to the support of the Court
 Journal and give it q Royal support, with out fear or the supplication of the ruling powers? 1 hope and trust that such will not be the case.
 i have so far been disappointed witt
 the harmony part of the enterprise, but
 have been much comforted since reading
 the letter of the Hon. Gen. Johnson or
 the subject. He says in substance, tha
 these things are of frequent occurrence and that they are much better off, witt
 the usual kickers on the other side, thar
 to have those elements in the fold. Tha
 seems to be q knock-dOwn argument ant
 taking that view of it, the future road tx
 me looks clear, because it leaves out ol
 the other side all the leading so-called re publican papers; the democratic and in dependent were against us anyway;we vii
 have left the Court organ, staunch anC true. We can depend upon the Hon Gen. Johnson and that old Roman thu Hon. Robt. Paul and the profound think , CT and law-dispenser the Hon. Atty Gen Clark Churchill, and there are more thal 2 a dozen more in the Territory that I cal , mention who are staunch and true. Now ! with this backing we can not fail, anC now that we have got rid of all sucl
 troublesome, kicking concerns as tn . Citizen and Herald, we will not have tn least difficulty in harmonizing. Nov
 with regard to retrenchment and reform l am satisfied that our paper will strong ly support these measures to the fulles extent possible but of course it cannot b. expected that it will favor cutting dow 7 Court expenses to a point that woul U place its members in condition so that tn ! Court could not be sustained in credit l able manner. That would be unreason ] able to expect and in fact would destro | all the glory of the Court; but I am as l sured that if the people will give tn l Court. Journal a right royal support an appropriate sufficient funds to keep tn T ruling classes who compose the Court i q an independent position, all other el
 penses will be shaved down to so fine ' point that 1t will take a strong magnify }, ing glass to see them. Outside of tn c Government expenses, there can be a gref a deal saved to the people in the patronae r. now bestowed upon papers which th T. Court Journal proposes to wipe ou e Nearly every so-called republican papt j. can and will be dispensed with I'll T. Journal-Miner is loyal and true, but as 'i belongs the Court circle it will no doul D. be found advantageous all round to mere n it into the Court-Journal. When all tn t- good work is accomplished, see the thou 7r ands of dollars that will be saved for sul l- scriptions and advertisements, and the
 see how harmonious our party will be-
 will have but one head, one heart and on
 organ.
 Now, Mir. Editor, I hope you will trei
 my apparent vaccillating course vii X. charity Say if you please, that u I glamour of Royalty has got the better r. my judgment, but don't charge me wi ye wilfully abandoning measure l believe ,n to be right because such is not the case. Ir love economy and the honest disburs ne ment of the public funds as well as eve wv but at the same time, I love Royalty al as Court Organs even more. SA
