I-Ts ZEE are=number of Arizona |dignitaries now in Washington, labor ing hard and diligently at their own ex- pense, in the interests of the "deah people" Some of them are such ex- emplary patriots that they refuse to detract anything from the pleasure of the ioilers at home in the support of public affairs, by paying their own taxes, but fully compensate the peo- pie by their unselHsh zeal in promot- ! ing territorial interests before con gress. Thus we find our highly es- teemed governor working himself into q proiuse precipitation in behalf of sun dry vital interests, such as securing vacancies for his illegally appointed officials and destroying all hopes of speedy statehood; while our land grant friend Brewster Cameron wants to make himself solid with the set tiers on the San Rafael de la Zanl' and other expanded grants by secur ing land court that will honestl! give him all he wants. Then ther' are others who think an independen and incorruptible judiciary is inimica to the greatest good to the greates number, and are using every speciou

 argument to prevent the confirmatio of Judges Sloan and Kibbey becaus they possess the moral courage an honesty to perform their arduou duties with impartial fidelity to th law and the facts. These jealous pr Higates are even discounting the future emoluments in behalf of su fering people, and their services d serve the recognition of all good ar
 '1lading citizens in providing f zthsm q scod, soit place on which

THERE are strong indications of d speedy revival of the stock interests oi Arizona and the establishment of that business upon profitable and sub stantial basis. The herds throughout many portions of the territory have been greatly depleted by sales; the de mand both east and west has largely increased, and the heavy losses sus tained upon the northern ranges dur ing the recent storms all favor the Arizona cattle growers. There vii soon be strong demand for goo' range cattle to supply the losses o the northern cattlemen and appear kances indicate that good prices wi prevail.

THE appeal of Adjutant General O'Neill in behalf of the organization of an efficient force of militia ought certainly to stimulate the young men of Arizona to the formation of local companies. The duties demanded will certainly be neither dangerous nor ar duous, while the military discipline and instruction inculated will surely be of great advantage in case an emergency should arise at some fu' ture time for their exercise. Good ma terial exists in every town or village of the territory for one or more com panies and there is no good reason why their best girls should not b' given an opportunity to admire then in soldierly attitudes and becominl uniforms.

DASTRADLY DEED.
Al Richards Probably Killed and Robbed of His MOney-Struck in the Fore head with an Axe While in
 His Bed.

Another dark and mysterious crime has been added to the long list in Co chise county's history. About day light this morning when the porter who sweeps out the saloon came down and entered the back room, as was his usual custom, a horrible sight met his vision. Swing on the cot in his room was the proprietor of the saloon, Al Richards, with his body drenched in blood which was oozing from fright full gash in the forehead, made by some blunt instrument.
 The porter at once ran into the New York restaurant and told Otto Geisen- hofer, who returned with him, and Dr. Huse was summoned immediately An investigation proved the skull to have been fractured. A 4 pound axe stood near the bed against table, on
 which blood was found in several
 places, and there is scarcely doubt
 but that the deed was committed witt
 this instrument. The object was rob
 bery, as his pockets were ritied of al the money on his person. He wal s known to possess between $3OO anC
 $400, and always carried it in his in side vest pocket. After committing
 the deed the fiend escaped the sam way he had entered-through tn l back door and over an adobe fence - where his tracks were plainly to b ]. seen.
 j The wounded man suffers intensel
 and has not been conscious, and shoul s he die without being able to talk it n doubtful if his assailant will ever b s apprehended. There is but one fair
 clue to the identity of the wretch wh n committed the crime. About mic If night when Richards started to clos q the doors he spoke to the porter, Sd. T. ing to him that he would leave tf
 back door open so that he could get If when he came down in the mornin n There was one man standing outsi( n- who overheard him make this remar but who he was is a mystery. Nothir Id but the money was taken. A go ,v watch and chain remained in Il 7 pocket was unmolested. It is thoug k- that the robber while searching | IT victims body awoke him and des
 him the blow that he might not reco

Our orange growers are told by men interested in selling California trees, that they should not purchase Florida trees, as they are not suited to the needs of this valley. Yet it is noticeable that California orange growers purchase Florida stock exclusively. The sour Florida tree is said to be the very best tree in the market, and insomuch as it costs less than one quarter of that charged for California trees and is every way as suitable, we fail to see where our people should heed the warming 1 Phoenix Gazette

Indian School at San Carlos.

4 change has recently been made in the management of affairs at the San Carlos school. MT. Lennon has taken the position of superintendent and proposes in the future to bring up the children in the way they should go. He comes from the Cherokee na ton in Indian Territory and has had much experience with the Indians.
 The school now has in attendance GO boys and girls. The opinion is steadily growing that it is of little use to educate the masculine portion of the community and not the feminine, so the girls will be put in the school steadily until they equal the boys in numl CT. The ones that are now there are bright and intelligent and give promise of considerable mental ability.

THE approaching general election in Arizona is one of great importance to every property owner in the terri tory. The observance of strict party
 lines under our present territorial condition possesses no advantages and is fruitful of no benefits to the people. The hurrah and excitement of partisan contests simply keep the weak ad-
 herents within the party traces, but
 the thinking and independent multi
 tude-those who pay the taxes-have | the public inte, ests more at heart
 and will not be led by scheming
 politicians into combinations that are
 inimical to their own welfare. When
 we attain the position of statehood and
 become an integral of the national
 government, the partisan principles
 are clothed with more importance and
 enter upon plane of usefulness that
 extends far beyond our local interests
 but as a territory the only object
 sought should be the welfare of oul
 people and our public institutions The best qualified and most competent material should be selected to fill tht important official positions in th' ! hope that the public will be bette served. The people are the rulers an' ! their power is absolute when it is e1 ercised unitedly for a common pur pose, and under existing circumstance r the reasons for such independent aC t ton is painfully manifest. Let tn d people unite and assert their will, an r. bring about revolution in public al l. fairs that will elevate the dignity O y our territory and demonstrate our abi e ity for self government.
