TOMBSTONE, A. T., April 27, 1890
 EDITOR ENTERPRISE Since my last letter to you nothing of importance has occurred here, if 1 except the rise in the price of silver to $1 04 per ounce.
 It is reported this evening tha5 Daly, who killed Constable Lowther at Bis bee, has been captured by Mexicans somewhere in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, and is held for the offered re- ! ward
 The disincorporation issue is in statu quo, to be decided on April 30. The Prospector takes sides strongly with the taxpayers while the Epitaph
 is making hard fight for the bread and butter squad.
 I am sorry to find that my strictures on the Hon. Geo. w. Cheyney and his associates of the 18th, do not meet the approval of brother Bagg of the Pros pector. That able journal rushes to the defense of its friends and with good
 reason. The Prospector being the
 reputed father of our present county
 government, it would be criminal neg
 lect and cruelty on its part to leave its unfortunate supporters exposed to
 the merciless peltings of "Vox Populi" ',
 "Quartzburg," C. NJ. Bruce or any
 other irresponsible and nameless scrib
 bier, holding no office and buying no
 newspaper praises, and the sole end and
 aim of whose existence appears to be
 to pay exorbitant taxes, wherewith l ortr hn
 away his rights and pay the Prospec-
 tor and all it's kind to defend the hon.
 orables against such intermeddhng,
 malicious and irresponsible traducers
 For my part l am full of charity.
 l know that the Prospector writes for
 grub, and can get the grub by defend ing the honorables, but if it depended on the discontented taxpayers alone it would have to go hungry. And now let us to business. About that boasted two-to-one political econ omical decision, by which Geo. W Cheyney has been enabled to get out of the territorial treasury 5000 foi work he never performed, while the | man who did the work is unpaid, witt , al least as good legal title to the of | flee as Cheyney and certainly a fal
 clearer one-a title not obscured bS F one false promise or act of fraud ol T. deception, while the title of MT. Chey : ney has nothing 10 recommend 1t bu | deception and breach of faith tt C electors. And the fact, no doubt, i e consoling to him that he has got tn, n plunder, and even if Mir. Strauss shoull I hereafter compel the territory to pa, 2 him the salary of the same for tn, e same time, there is no means of mak e ing Cheyney disgorge the salary h e never earned.
 But, MT. Editor, what is most alarm
 ing in all this muddle is the fact tha
 the case of Cheyney vs Smith was de '' tended by Attornev-General Churchill II and that MT. Strauss was not part /, ,i to it, and that it does not appear tha ' the question was ever raised whethe ~ MT. Cheyney was or was not the proI a' CT officer or entitled to the salar, u True another lawyer-a democrat-aI II peared in the case as amicus cuirse an | now the question is, why was nc the question raised, and raised in sue It a way as to make Mir. Strauss part P to it and make the decision bindin ie on him?
 m iu Is this wholesmuddle in reality onl Ill 8 scheme to plunder the territori , treasury in the name of party polite 'u and divide the products of the pillae aa amongst the inside managers of bot :. parties according to certain understoo TY1la If T .ia;0 .o lence?"
 u If we, MT. Editor, take all the SUI II II rounding parts and examine them U the light of past experience in th o, territory, we will, think, be irresis 'i ibly impelled to the latter concluslo y and the more we examine the fac 's with these lights the more conclusi, ]" becomes our conviction, for we cal '' not find an instance in which an Al es zona legislature has been managed I, IL the plunder of the treasury and Il taxpayers, but what the wire pulle e of both parties, to use homely bl ':H forcible expression, ''got their fins in 7; 5ii irrespective of what party was in a m i sl, jority.
 io And for a conspicuous example V ID need only look to the notorious 13 eo and to point out that the very me VI who managed that band of knav, oa a and fools are now running party DO as ties on both sides, and desperatel all ~ fighting each other in the name a, ,p for the sake of the grand old primo 's us pies of their several parties, while I n,' publicans and democrats look on, ye 'u' much edifed by the struggle, un ,at .1 they wake up and find their proper n" , mortgaged to pay the piper, u" Yours, etc.,
