TIE republican party of Pinal county

HE repuDncan party or flnal county seems to be, so far as the management of the campaign is concerned, under the thumbs of W. R. Stone, chairman, and Charles Holborn, secretary, of the county central committee. These well known public spirited gentlemen of acknowl- edged ability and influence, are making most vigorous campaign for the county nominations, but unfortunately they are spending all their ammunition in Mari copa county instead of Alaska, as they doubtless would have preferred to do. Up to date they have scrupulously kept the people of Pinal county from even common knowledge of their candidates and, as model citizens, they have patro- nized home industry by sending abroad for all their printing and spending the assessments made upon the candidates, in other counties. We are assured by a ma iority of the candidates that this prac- tice does not meet their appreciation and that they do not approve of the action of the assumed executive committee in venting personal spite at their expense, as it certainly is. The organization of the republican central committee of this county does not represent the republican party. The original members elected were hadicapped by sharp movement that placed person at it's head who, to use the expression of a delegate to the convention, had always been defeated, and could not be elected" and who was beaten by comparative stranger, and as to the secretary, the most common rules of parliamentary practice were violated to place him in his position. As examples of home enterprise they stand as con spicuous monuments, and if the ticket as nominated gives a cordial support to their actions, it should be showed under by an indignant public so deep that it will not know that it was in the field. But we dc not believe the action of the committee meets with their approval. We know that several members of the committee were not consulted and that several -can- uludteS nave eNpTeSSeu ullelI ulSdppIONHi of the committee's action in unequivocal terms and claim that they exceeded their authority. The matter is of little conse- quence to us in pecuniary point of view. We have donated double the cost of the printing to the party in the present cam paign and no mercenary motive can there fore instigate the present expose of the committees methods It is solely ques tion of the support of home enterprise and as every candidate with the leas hope of election, has pledged himself il favor of the protection of the interests O Pinal county first, there remains an incon sistincy that is yet to be explained to tn

THERE is an army regulation that of fenders against the civil law must not be held in custody by the military for longer period of time than five days. The existence of this law was brought to the attention of the officers at San Carles and came very near giving absolute free dom to Apsey, who murdered his employe near the Aravaipa recently, and was ap- prehended while burning the body of his victim. Owing to the difficulties of cross ing the Gila river during the high stage of the water occasioned by heavy rains, the officers of this county were not able to reach San Carlos to receive Apsey from the military as soon as they hoped and, when the five days of custody had expired, the commanding officer at that post ordered the prisoners release. The civil officers were hourly expected to ar rive, yet the order given was imperative. Hoping to avoid all appearance of dis regard for the commands of his superior officer. the lieutenant in charge turned him oyer to Deputy U. $. Marshal Al. Sieber, and when the guard house was denied him as the temporary place of re- straint for the prisoner, ha was removed to Sieber's quarters. The following morn ing the civil officers arrived and took charge of Apsey. The ends of justice were not defeated by q rigid observance of law not well adapted to a frontier country, in this instance, but the com manding officer deserves no credit for the fact. He simply obeyed the letter oi the military law and was utterly indiffer ent to the demands of justice or the civil law, and would not exercise the mos ordinary discretion in a matter of sucI grave importance. There does not seen to be that respect due the civil law by military officers that ought to exist, an( in an instance like the one under discus sion the common demands of justice
 should have prompted even a stretch O
 authority to hold a fugitive when circum stances so plainly indicated the impracti
 cability of the civil officers arriving with
 in the exact time laid down by the mil
 tary law.

Onyx.
Los. Angeles Tribune.

According to many recent reports from the recently discovered onyx deposit near Prescott, A. T., it will evidently prove to be one of the most valuable mining pro- perties on the continent. Messrs. A. Mason and G. A. Smith of this city have just returned from the mine and report it as showing wonderful results as work progresses. The deposit covers over 200 acres and in places shows a thickness of over fifty feet of onyx. The quality is re- ported by the best scientific experts to be of very superior article-much more valuable than the Mexican or any other onyx now in the market. The lowest estimate yet made by any mining engi- neer is about 20,0O0,000 cubic feet, and as it is worth from BIO to $20 per cubic foot in the rough and an unlimited demand for the article, it can be seen at glance that the value of the property is almost beyond conception. Messrs. Mason and Smith have an exclusive option on the property and naturally expect to make big thing out of 1t.
 They have just had several hundred pounds of the onyx cut and polished as specimens to show the great variety and beautiful colorings of the stone. These specimens they have decided to put on exhibition at the chamber of commerce in this city for a few days previous to sending them east, where they expect to organize company to purchase the pro- perty or work 1t on large scale.

An Early storm.
Yuma Times.


 A hard, pelting rainstorm such as sell dom visits this section broke upon us about ? o'clock Saturday morning. Its di- rection was from the southeast and it's width was from ten to twenty miles, ex- tending in a northwesterly direction and becoming lost in the desert. The light ming ca1ne,.in almost continuous sheets and flashes, and the peals of thunder rendered sleep almost impossible The heaviest part of the storm exhausted itself in a couple of hours. Some hail also fell A little rain fell as far west as Indio on the desert. The total precipitation for the storm was ITO inches. But little wind accompanied the rain and only slight damage was done anywhere except on the railroad. Eight miles up the Araby val ley some damage was done by washing and a well suffered a cave-in.
 Serious washouts occurred between Adonde and La Guerta. As stated else where all trains were held at Yuma unti repairs had been made. Roadmastel |, Thompson went at once to the scene and all the available help between Yuma anG Tucson was pressed into service. By working night and day trains were enabled to move in AS hours.

w. B. Jones, the active and gentleman ly General Superintendent of the Prescott and Arizona Central Railway, thinks, now, that he will shortly start men, to build a branch railroad to Jerome, the great cop per-silver mining camp of Northern Ari- zOna. He thinks he will be able to get a standard gauge branch to within two or three miles of mines and smelters If so, the road will eventually go into Verde Valley and be of great benefit to all this section

TIE Phenix Republican is taking quite lively interest in the political affairs of Pinal county, but it's lack of accurate knowledge of the condition of matters here causes it to do more harm than good to the cause it evidently aims to espouse. In its blind fusilade it wings a majority of the candidates on the republican tick ct and denounces them in severe terms. besides doing incalculable injury to the party it represents in attacking a large class of voters from which it must draw it's success at the polls if it wins at all. | we quote from it's columns of recent date:
 Pinal county has lot of independent can -aidates running for the various county offices. Such men owe allegiance to no party or to no one if elected. They are not the kind to to be trusted with office and should be retired
 And still further along we find an other left handler" as follows:
 It is noteworthy fact that every one of the Independent" candidates in Pinal coun- ty are democrats Men who have not the courage to sail under their true cOlors are not safe to be trusted with office.
 First and foremost among these inde- pendents we find Hon. A. J. Doran, d good republican, who will receive the en- tire vote of Pinal county for councilman. He is an ardent supporter of Hon. P. R. Brady for jointcouncilman, and of w. c. Truman, the independent candidate for sheriff f-both democrats. Mir. Doran is certainly not the bad, untrustworthy man the Republican pictures him in the above extracts. Then we name Dan c. Stevens and W. H. Benson, the republican nom- inees for treasurer and probate judge re- spectively, both of whom are 'independ- ents" and both support the independent candidate for sheriff Then County Sur veyor A. T. Colton and J. Suter candi- date for supervisor, will both vote for W. c. Truman, the independent candi- date for sheriff. They are all sailing un- der their true colors and have the cour- age to do so. They doubtless feel under obligations to the Republican for it's esti- nation of their character and standing.
 There is a large class of independent NhAOhShOub oui NtiIibplg WilO vote as they think. They support such candidates as they believe best qualified for the positions to which they aspire. In Maricopa county with it's overwhelming democratic majority, if a single republi- can candidate is elected it will be accom- plished solely by the independent" vot- CT whom the Republican assails with such bitterness. Its throws it's insults into his teeth and then expects to be rewarded by his ballot. To the independent vot CTS of Pinal county is due the fact that it's financial and political affairs are the pride of the whole territory and they will stand by their colors in spite of tho thoughtless and senseless utterances ot the Republican.

A Non-Partisan Bench
chicaeo In er-Ocean.


 James IT. Ward has done wise and graceful act in defending the democratic for probate judge. A non partisan bench has been the demand of Chicago for years, and the probate court has been kept freer from politics than any other While Judge Knickerbocker lived men of all parties recognized his fitness for the place, and none thought of seek ing a nomination against him. Under the administration of Judge Kohlsaat this court has been as free from politics as when Knickerbocker presided over it. Democrats and republicans all recognized his fitness and commended his appoint ment by Gov. Fifer a year ago.
 Since he went upon the bench he has won golden opinions from every one, with out regard to personal friendship or po- litical predictions. Without doubt he is the best equipped man in the county for the probate bench. The best element of the democratic party is opposed to intro ducing party politics into this court, even by recognizing q party nomination against Judge Kohlsaat. Two of the democratic papers opposed the nomination of any one against him and now urge his reelection In declining the nomination Mr. Ward recognizes the impropriety of changing the tried and approved policy adopted by both parties years ago.

A. G. WILLIAMS, our next recorder, will leave in few days for the various parts of the county. Gus. is a universal favor ite with the people irrespective of party, and at the republican convention there were delegates who insisted that DO nomi- nation be made in opposition to him. The action of the committee of 2 put ting Mir. Ochoa in the field is said to be to strengthen Drais. Certainly Mir. Ochoa does not think he can defeat Gus. Will liams.
