POLICE COURT.

Before Judge Museller Chris Bush
charged with stabbing was arraigned and
bound over in the sum of $500. This is
the cutting affray that took place between
the men working on the street car excava-
tons on Topeka avenue several weeks
back. Two hack drivers were each fined
$500 for having their lights out. 1t is also
said that they were hauling girls under
age for immoral purposes and that if the
parents want to prosecute, it will go hard
with them. The Humane society has not
taken any action in the matter yet. The
usual number of DRINKS and yags were
disposed of in the usual summary way. A
compromise was struck with one tough
customer that if he would leave the city
his fine would be remitted.

TIE last of the democratic holdovers in Arizona has, by due process of law, been forced to step down and out after every legal point and tochnicality had been exhausted to prevent it. J. H. Be- han, superintendent of the territorial pris- oh, celebrated the day of national inde- pendence by vacating his position in favor of bis successor, and the long and bitter contest has come to an end. With out commenting upon the justice involv- ed and the legal methods employed, we rejoice with all good citizens who have the welfare of the Territory at heart that the chaos resulting from dual gov. ernment has terminated, and that the public institutions will be hampered nc longer by stubborn strife that should never have had an existence

TIE halls of congress just now afford some exciting scenes of discussion, and even bitter personal denunciation some times takes the place of the calm, delib- crate argument that characterizes the gentleman in debate. Sectional feeling is again aroused over the Federal election bill, and the merits of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution are re- hearsed with all the feeling and preju- dice that existed at the close of the war of the rebellion. The ballot in the hands of the negro has the same effect upon some of the southern politicians that a Haunting red flag does upon vicious bull, and the nasty words the controversy elicits will furnish future campaign argu- ment against those uttering them. At times the House of Representatives is per feet pandemonium in which the dignity of statesmen is lost in the bullyism of the barroom. It is surely no example oi pride to the American people to witness the disgraceful scenes that frequently occur within.the halls of those high delib- erative bodies whose members seem tc forget the purposes for which they were sent to the capitol. The prize ring i: seldom more noisy and turbulent thar some of the transactions of congress, anc the comparison is all the stronger wher we take into consideration the character of the two assemblages.

Reform.

Arizona is ripe for reform, and the democratic party must lead in the pro- cession. Taxation must be reduced; this is the demand heard from every county in the territory There are too many unnecessary offices, which require large sums of the peoples money to support. The salaries paid to such officers as are necessary, in many cases, are too high. They are out of all proportion to salaries paid by private corporations and private concerns for equal responsibility and labor We have too many offices They should be consolidated, or abolished. The Territorial Board of Equalization is unnecessary. The chairman of each county board of supervisors can be made to constitute board of equalization, the majority of whom could be quorum to do business. The commissioner of i'm migration is unnecessary Each county can be given the power to appoint it's own commissioner, If 1t Is necessary to have one at all.
 The office of attorney general is unnec- essary The district attorneys of the res pective counties are paid sufficient sal aries to attend to such criminal business as may go up from their counties to the supreme court. The superintendent of public instruction is of no more use than ''the fifth wheel to wagon" and should be unceremoniously abolished.
 The office of the Territorial geologist is of no earthly account, save to eat up a salary without giving the Territory one penny of value in return.
 The office of veerinary surgeon IS of very doubtful utility
 And the salaries paid the superinten- dent of the prison and employees, as well as the asylum commissioners and other employees are tout all proportion to those paid by private corporations for equal work and responsibility. There is lux uriant field open for reform in Arizona, and this is the issue before the people Tucson Star

..ren Acres Eneuch. .

The author of Ten Acres Enough 5 who located his tract m New Jersey. would find in Arizona's valleys that three acres would produce much more annually with one half the labor that he bestowed upon his New Jersey farm
 Take one acre of strawberries yielding here three crops a year and its return would be more in cash value than the whole ten acres that was cultivated with such never ending care and gave but one annual yield in return. With three acres in choice early apncots the sTen Acre. product pales into positive insignidcance when we compare the cash returns.
 Plant four acres of our valley lands, one each in strawberries, early and De cember peaches, early apricots. and early grapes, and the yearly profits therefron will be found to exceed the best forty acre farm in the whole State of New Jer- sey.
 There Is an abundance of such land here only wanting the thrift and intelli- gence of experienced fruit growers to yield every mouth in the year a nagnif- cent return for their labor, and the labor is not half that required in the cold region and soils of the Northern and Eastern States. Arizona lands are clean. We have no weeds, comparatively speaking such as exist in other countries, where fl Is constant fight to keep them from overrunning and choking out the crops Here we have no mean pussiy," lambs quarter, Spanish needles, careless nor fire weeds, with a thousand or more other troublesome pests that give so much | extra labor to the eastern farIner-Phe nix Republican.

THE census enumerator is a great dis turber of the peace of mind of residents of ambitious towns, and upon his defense less shoulders rests the burden of the blame that popular figures in population are not reached. The telegraph brings the first approximate estimates of the number of inhabitants of many of the growing cities, and appended thereto are unsupported statements that errors have
 been made in nearly every instance. Los
 Angeles, with the claim of 5000 people, collapses to mere village of 10000, while Chicago grumbles because its 1,0S5,000 does not reach 1,250,000 people. St. Paul is wild with envy at the showing of Min neapolis with 100000 more than it can find within it's own gates, and it thereup- on charges gross fraud on the part of it's hated rival, and so it goes throughout the entire list. The superintendent of the census estimates the entire population of the United States at 64,500,000, which closely approximates the prevailing be- lief in it's numerical greatness. Of course the census takers are responsible for all the alleged discrepancies and they art henceforth to become outcasts and wan derers upon the face of an injured and in dignant earth-a prey to remorse anC tormented by their guilty consciences

Storm at Maricopa

Maricopa was visited by heavy rair storm at about s p m Monday
 Following the rainful closely came 6 violent wind, which was heard some min utes before reaching there and sounded like thunder.
 There were five freight cars on the Maricopa and Phenix track which were struck by the hurricane and were only stopped from making run down hill tc old Marieopa by the timely action of the yard hands.
 The Maricopa House was struck on the east side and all of the porch on that side and part of the building was blown some distance, being lifted fifty feet in the air
 Captain Arey's house was also dam aged, the back portion being carried two hundred yards distant
 Other buildings were damaged and overturned and trees were uprooted,
 Geo. H. McInerny was struck by some falling debris and narrowly escaped be- ing seriously injured. The high wind lasted about half an hour,

HE one great obstacle to the admis- sion of Arizona to statehood, and the fact IS too conspicuously apparent to be ignor- ed Is that our Territory IS not in political harmony with the dominant party in congress. The denial of our manifest rights in this desired privilege is our punishment for straying from the path of alleged political rectitude and, however eligible We may be, We must remain in leading strings until it Is satisfactorily demonstrated that we can be relied upon to swell the ranks of the controlling party. The admission of territory to statehood IS mere political measure designed to add to the strength of those in power, and We need not expect the republicans to aid and abet their enemy by giving over to the democrats any strength that lies within their dis cretionary power to prevent If the peo- pie of Arizona regard the advantages of statehood above temporary party con alterations they will send to congress a delegate friendly to the administration and no questions will be asked when they apply for the favor. The fiat has gone forth that no democrats need apply, and the rule is infexible Idaho, with qual- itications vastly inferior to Arizona, has been admitted solely upon partisan grounds and if Arizona hopes to attain its political sovereignty, it must present the same kind of credentials.

COMPLAINTS are made in several counties in Arizona that the census enumerators have been given tasks too great for the limited time given them, and that in many instances imperfect work will be the result. In sparsely settled districts the enunerators have to travel long dis tances and the time required in so doing is taken from that necessary to a careful enumeration in the towns and settlements A portion of Maricopa county is reported defective for want of time to complete the lists, and the town of Benson is said to have been reached on the last day sci apart for taking the census. Unless such work approximates absolute correct ness its value will be greatly impaired fol statistical purposes.

THE ENTERPRISE appears to-day in a full dress of new and smaller type, the main object sought being the supply of a larger volume of reading matter than was before possible. The extra labor required in making this change has not afforded a fair opportunity to perfect all the inn provements contemplated, and the ideal of its publishers is not yet reached. THE ENTERPRISE has grown in public favor to such remarkable degree that it's pub fishers feel encouraged to better efforts to merit the good will of the people, and, believing in acts rather than promises they hope to still further add to it's value as the representative independent journal of Arizona, both in volume of reading matter and typographical appearance, as well as to meet the appreciation of all good people by consistent and fearless advocacy of their material and political interests and a tireless defense of their rights however menaced or assailed.

THr most complete collapse of partisan

TIE most complete collapse of partisan buucome that was calculated to cut
 very important figure in the next presi- dental campaign throughout the western
 mining states, was accomplished In the House of Representatives on June 25th
 The democrats, almost to man, were posing as the friends of silver and made political capital out of their avowed po- sition upon that issue. When the senate silver bill reached the House, upon a test vote only twenty-four republicans voted for the measure and it was within the power of the democrats to have laid a free coinage bill before the president had they desired to do SO. Senator German, who had voted for free coinage but week previously, went over to the house and exerted all his powerful influence against the bill and caused it's defeat. We men ton this circumstance simply to illustrate the insincerity of our national law mak- CTS upon measures that may be made to do partisan duty, and their readiness to sacrifice the interests of the people fol partisan purposes. When compelled by unexpected circumstances to show theil hand, they even preferred to stultify their own acts to doing that which they sought the credit of doing. The honest
 sentiment of both parties in Congress ii opposed to the coinage of silver, and while the republicans have the manliness tC make an open fight against it, the fast anC loose play of the democrats will reac against them as being insincere in thei professions and unworthy of confidence

THE governors organ says in substance if the people want a constitutional con vention why don't they go ahead and have one through the order of the several boards of supervisors. This is the most arrant nonsense. The legislature provid- ed the necessary authority for calling a constitutional convention and 1t stands to-day of unquestioned legality. The governor, in utter disregard of his solemn oath of office, ignored that law and re- fused to issue the proclamation calling the election. To attempt to shift any re. sponsibility for his censurable neglect oi duty upon the supervisors is adding in suit to injury, and such a proposition can only excite further contempt for the man if such be possible.

About week ago Thomas Goodwin, a farmer located about six miles north of Tempe missing his irrigating water, pro ceeded to the headgate of his lateral ditch. Here he found a son of T. G. Cartledge guarding the gate in the inter est of his fathers ditch. Goodwin promptly knocked the lad off the gate with shovel, upon his refusal to stil from his post, and redistributed the va ter The boys father hunted up shot gun, then thought better of the matter and proceeded to swear out a warrant against Goodwin for assault with deadly weapon.

County Surveyor Breckenridge, of Maricopa county, is engaged in the sur vey of another road from Phenix to the Bradshaw mountains. The Castle creek road on which the people of Phenix have spent $1,0C0 or $1, 300 has proven a fail ure as a Bradshaw feeder to Phenix The new road it is estimated will cost about $15,000. Phenix is putting forth all of it's energies to secure the trade of the min ing camps south of Prescott They are aided by the railroad people also whose trade will be largely augmented by the diversion of this extensive trade in that direction. In the meantime the road from Prescott, south, via Turkey creek is in an almost impossible condition and nothing is being done by any one to i'm prove or repair it.-Prescott Journal Miner.

The Need of Railroad to Phenix,

Speaking of the possibilities Of the north and south railroad, the Phenix Ga zette says
 "Yavapal county contains many Of the grandest mountain resorts on the conti- nent, and the construction of this line of road would permit our people who wish to spend their summer months in cool mountain retreat to do so without i'm poverishing them and working many other hardships. Now let us look at the saving to Yavapai and Maricopa counties in the various articles of merchandise used in each county. From the best in formation we are able to obtain the con sumption of hay in that county Is 16,000 tons annually. The price paid for fair quality of California hay in Yavapai coun- ty IS $25 per ton, or $400,000 worth per annum Maricopa can supply far su- perior article of hay at $5 per ton, or ESQ., 900 for the 16,000 tons, making a saving in this one product for our mountain neighbor of $320,000 besides giving cur farmers a good price for their hay and supplying our neighbors much better article.
 Of barley there is used about 100000 pounds which brings $2.25 per hundred and reaches the enormous figure of $270,- 100, while our farmers will sell better bar 0ey in Phenix at 70 cents per hundred, making saving to Yavapai in this article alone of $186,000 per annum. Of course this does not include the freight charges between Phenix and Prescott, which will not reduce the figures very materially There are many other things which this valley could furnish Prescott at great saving to the people. Flour, for instance is selling there for $3.9O per hundred while choice article of home product is selling here for $2 per hundred, and when it comes down to fruit the savings are simply incalculable. California fruits sell in the mountain towns for twenty five cents per pound, while our fruit growers sell as good a quality from two to foul cents per pound, and the supply is simply inexhaustible. Now, this is the Salt river valley side of the question, but like near ly every other public question, it has tive sides"

The legislature which will be elected next November will have the most i'm. portant duties to perform of any legisla- ture which has been chosen by the peo- pie since the organization of the territory
 There is well laid plan to plunder the territorial treasury, and to lay heavy burdens on the people in the interest of a band of political tramps who like so many buzzards, are patiently waiting until the body polite Is organized, as they hope it will be, in the interest of their schemes. The people are, however, awakening to the fact, and they will elect no one to the legislature who cannot be trusted and who will not stand for retrenchment of public expenditures and firmly oppose all corrupt and poodle legislation. They want reform and they will have it-Star.
