With this issue we begin tile editing and
the Publishing of the Della INDEPENDENT.
The high backed. revolving, antique, oak,
editorial chair that enveioped our predecess-
or's form so gracefully, is being gradually
brought into subjection aud is bucking less
and less, SO We have high hopes of riding il
successfully. In IN introductory statement
Of this sort, it is the usual custom. custom
sauctiened by great aye and whitened locks,
" ante up on promi.es with reckless aban.
don aud profusion, but on this occasion we
will waive precedent and simply state that
we propose to make as good paper Of the
IxDEPENpEET as honest work can give. We
wish To represent the County fully, fairly
aud impartially. Our natural advantages
are surpassed by none. All the wealth of
soil and climate is here, and to be properly
appreciated, it needs only to be known and
underwood. We see no good reason for
advocating Pontius PLATE addition with
free lots for booming the town, neither do we
see the utility Of spreading the report that
our wa.ermeinns have to be moved by giant
powder, or that the eating Of peaches and
cream is tile daily work ofthe farmer. Facts,
Simon pure facts, both from country and
town are good enough. We are proud Of the
County for what it IL and for what it may b.,
proud is not the word to express it. A sure
and steady development is the true measure
of u country's progress. and to this method Of
development does the INDEPENDENT propose
70 devote its energies. We are ip no conflict
with our neighboring towns, their welfare is
our welfare and their industry adds to the
co,umon good of all. To the people Of our
County and otherwise, we ask for your coop
Grafton, your patronage and-cash.

THE Reapportionment bill of the new State of Washington, passed by special session of the legislature, and which be- came a law yesterday by the signature of Governor Ferry, is based on the cen sus of the State, of 34S,OO0. The State is redistricted to thirty-four Senatorial and seventy-eight Representative dis tricts, no county, however small, being without Representative. The former Senate numbered fifty-fve members and the Honse seventy members. The new bill passed with but eight dissenting votes in both Houses.

SAYS the San Francisco Bulletin: "Idaho advices report smart game on the part of the Mormons to help out the Democrats in the coming election. They are playing it low down by pretending to take no interest in the campaign while quietly getting every one of their numbers possible on the registration lists on the sly. It is the familiar Dem- ocratic still hunt, with variations to suit the particular case. The surviving twin relic was always tied to the Dem ocracy, but the game is watched and the anti-Mormon clause of the State Consti- tuition will be enforced"

IsGT possible that the Bourbon leaders have laid plans whereby the next Grand Jury shall be a Democratic one, to be swayed by them into any policy that may be directed? The thought is al- most absurd, and yet the utterances of the rings mouthpiece would tend to lead one to believe that the Democracy are relying upon that very thing, however absurd it may appear, When political tricksters attempt to run the courts it is indeed time for the honest voters, ire spective of party, to rise in their strength and by their ballots relegate such politicians to the rear.

THEODORE SCHULTZ, real estate agent of Tempe, will arrive today with a large number of colonists, gathered by him in Eastern Kansas. This is practical work in stimulating immigration.

WHY not organlze in Phoenix branch society of Arizona Pioneers? The years have rolled along, leaving gray hairs on the heads of every Hassayamper, and it would, no doubt, be of great interest to them to sit with their comrades of former years and retell the tales of ad- venture and wild life, of which all are possessed of so large store. In this city are fifty or more men who came to Arizona prior to 1870, and they should by all means form themselves into a so- ciety, the main aim of which should be the completion and preservation of an accurate history of Arizona's history.
