Had not tho suggestion that omce

harmless-I hope SD, at least-yet
there is an old saying that the truth
hurts; hence your piteous attempt to
prove how arduous yonr labors have
been. To one familiar with the facts,
your recital OF heroic exertions reads
like a romance. I have no desire to
question your f%aithfulness as an
officer. but you know, or you ought to
know, that the framing o. an indict-
ment for murder, robbery, burglary,
housekeeping, etc, involves only
toe labor OF copying n OF Abbott's
forms, and calls for the exercise of
less skill than the drawing Of any
i NIL mr. nnnnr lrk,Nu-n - latrx-nro. Ind
you also know thIt outside Of a few
questions asked VI witnesses in the
presence Of the Grand Jury, that the
copying OF a more form, changed only
as to dates and places, is about all the
labor performed by the District At
torney in all cases where the defend
ants plead guilty. Even the testi-
mopy upon which tie defendant in
such cases is indicted is. in nearly all
cases, furnished by the arresting
officers and prosecuting witnesses
without any exertion whatever on tho
part OF the District Attorney.
Whenever an attorney seeks to mag
nifty his labors by pointing to the
number OF ~forlorn defendants who
have pleaded guilty in his presence,
the initiated always understand that
he is only talking for effect. A recital
Of the severity OF the sentences pro-
nounced by the Court in nowiso adds
TO your lahors. however much it may
deceive those who are unfamiliar with
legal proceedings. When Taxpayer

been actually tried during your entire

ing that it involved only a re-exami-
nation Of the Same witnesses, called

are the only ones that require any

trial must be made.

There is evidently something wrong
in the proposed new Constitution in
the apportionment OF members Of the

eral counties the aggregate number
OF Assemblymen is twenty-five. We

EMPLoYEs AS STOCKHOLDERS.

Concerning the published rumor that the officers of the Illinois Central Rail- way Company are seeking to induce their employees to invest their savings in the securities of that corporation, Presi- dent Fish has said that the company has no stock for sale, but that it proposes to assist any of it's officers or employees to buy one share at a time, at fair market price, the purchaser to pay for it in sums of not less than s5. On these sums interest will be credited, and when the share is paid for he can, if he wishes, begin the purchase of another. In this way, it is hoped to enlist every frugal person in any way connected with the road as partner on basis of the utmost hberality to the small proprie- tor. It is not proposed to form savings bank or benevolent association, the ex- perience of the company being that the men prefer to handle these mat ters for themselves. The purchaser, un- der this scheme, may at any time have his contract cancelled and the money returned to him with interest. Thus the company assumes the,entire risk of a fall in price of the shares and the expense of doing the work.
 It is believed that this plan, when properly presented, will induce greater thrift among the men and through their example spread among the people a habit of saving and investing in the securities of the road which runs past their doors. The ultimate object is to produce a community of interest be- tween the citizens and the railways, which shall give perfection of railway service and the most profitable of investments for the small proprietor in sound, dividend-paying railway shares.
 The experiment will be watched with much interest. The man who has a financial interest in the corporation by which he is employed is safer and bet ter man than the one whose sole inter- est is in the monthly stipend. A dozen or two of shares held by each of the vast army of men employed on the long lines of railways of the country would make the employees factor to be considered at the annual elections.

fHE ONLY REPUBLICAN PAPER IN PHGNH.
RATES OF SUBSCRIPTION.
THE RAILROAD PROPOSITION.

THE REPUBLICAN has carefully consid- cred the proposition laid before the peo- pie of Maricopa county by the Maricopa and Phoenix Railroad Company and is inclined to consider it favorably, pro- vided it is made in good faith. It is, however, announced at critical period, when the people are unusually skeptical.
 The offer is somewhat vague and in- definite and does not seem to come in the regular order. If the Maricopa and Phoenix Railroad Company had made this offer to the Board of Supervisors, under the certificate of it's President and Secretary and under the seal of the com pany, and to the Governor, for recom- mendation to the Legislature, there would have been about it an air of business that would have carried with it the conviction of honesty of purpose.
 Then, too, the statement that, in view of its purpose to extend it's line, it has purchased the organization of the Ari- zona Central Railroad Company, is also vague. Of what does the organization consist? Does it mean franchise, sur. vey, right-of-way, or what?
 The Maricopa and Phoenix people have been bitterly fighting the North and South railroad proposition, meas ure in which the people of this valley are deeply interested, and they cannot complain if their proposition is regarded with some suspicion. It might be util- ized to kill the new bill pending in Con- gress.
 TIE REPUBLICAN trusts that the company will make it's proposition in regular, business-like way, so that intelligent and proper action may be taken on it, and the foundation laid to bring the subject before the leg islature. If this is done, TIE REPuBLI- CAN will gladly use every means at its command to secure the concessions de- sired and to lend it's aid in securing right of way, &c. We believe that this is the sentiment of the whole commun- ity and that without reference to past disagreements and differences the en- tire valley would come to the aid of the proposition. This cordial support the scheme will always lack in it's present shape.

The attempts of the Citizen and its principal owner, Royal A. Johnson, and his man Brown, to make the people of Arizona believe that the government of Arizona Is perfectly safe under this management is having the effect to create popular opinion against this project.-Herald, Sept I 1889.
 To this the Citizen responded as fol- lows: "The attempt of the Herald and its principal owner, Colonel Christy, and his man Morford, to make the people believe that Arizona was not safe under Territorial management and that their only salvation lay in a Constitu- tional Convention, was most wretched failure.

THE UNION MINE.
A Rich Property Leased to William
 Parish for One Year.

A Rich Property Leased to William
 Parish for One Year.
 The Union Mine, Winifred district one of the best properties in. Arizona, has been leased by William Parish, of Denver, for one year.
 The only drawback the minefhas ever had has been the lack of water. The supply furnished by the mine is very small, and the 10-stamp mill has been running only when there has been water in the stump. MT. Parish will strike it rich in this respect, for the mine, which has been sunk about 450 feet, has filled during it's long season of inactivity, with about 300 feet of water. This will fur nish enough water to run the mill for three months, taking the ore from the various drifts downward as the waters recede. The ore is sulphuret of high grade, and much of it win pay for trans portation to a smelter. Connected with the mill are several concentrators, which will be run to their full capacity.
 Mir. Shaw believes that pipe line from Cave Creek will be put in to supply the mill. When this is done, Winifred district will wake up from it's long stag nation and show to the world what really rich mining district is capable of.
