The people of Arizona will show, by their ballots, in the forthcoming election how much pa triotism there is left among them how much of the spirit of their rev olutionary ancestors still beats in their hearts. They will show, by their ballots, whether they are still in favor of a government by the people and for the people, or wheth- CT they are in faYor of an autocrat- ic and despotic government, which is to be ruled Jy a small minority.

 If the Mormons transgress the laws of our Territory why are not the laws enforced agalnst them? It is about time that Congress look ed into Q condition of affairs that allows law-breakers to go unpunish- ed.-Tombstone Pr0spector.
 What does the United States gov ernment pay it's Narshals and Dis trict Attorneys for? If there is a law to punish Iormons for trans gressing the same, why is not that law enforced? Why do the Repub- licans ask for the adoption of 8 law punishing 8 large proportion of our citizens for a crime, before they are convicted of any offence? The Re publican party have the courts, the United States Marshal and the Dis trict Attorney, and if the present law against polygamy is not en- forced, whose fault is it? The truth of the matter is, there are very few law-breakers among the Mormons. The leaders of the Republican par ty know this, and instead of trying to enforce the law now on the stat ute books, which they know would result in their discontinue, they are continually bowling for the enact ment of 9 law that will punish a crime before conviction. And a still further truth is, that it is not punishment for crime they are af- ter, but the disiranchisement of a large number of persons who do not vote to suit them.

Mexican Elections,

The election for state and muni- cipal officers will take place to-day. A law in Mexico requires that all elections be held on Sunday. Why such law was enacted has never been fully explained, but it cer- taInly was not passed in order to give the working classes an oppor- tunity to vote without losing a day, for the working classes, as a rule, do not care much about voting, and those interested in the elections do not care whether they vote or not. In Mexico the privilege of voting is not as glorious as its in the Uni ted States, and we might add, not nearly so broad.
 They have a system of registra- ton and it is religiously lived up to without any attempt or show for stuGing tie great register or voting citizens long since dead or decamp- ed. 4 list of the qualified electors of each town or municipality is written out and posted in some conspicuous place at least ten days before the election. This list gives the name, age, occupation and resi- dcnce of each voter, and also states whether married or single and whether able to read or write, or both. The list is arranged alpha beticalIy and each man has his number in the order in which his name comes.-NogaIes Herald.

THE Republican party of Arizona has placed itself on record as fav- bring the disfranchisement of the Mormons. In its platform it asks Congress to pass at this session the bill gotten up by wouldbe King Lewis l, under the spacious title of purifying elections in Arizona" which is intended to disfranchise a large and respectable portion of the voters of this Territory, simply be- cause they do not vote the Repub lican ticket. Let us go back a few years. and examine the political record of this sect. It may, per haps, explain why they vote the Democratic ticket. In 1884 the Mormons of Arizona or, at least a large majority of them, voted for C. c. Bean for delegate to Congress, and voted the ticket to such an ex- tent that the Legislature was Re publican by handsome majority. To repay them for their aid in elect ing a delegate to Congress and Republican legislature, the latter body passed what is known as the Stover bill, which was copied from the Idaho bill, for the purpose of disfranchising the Mormons. Is 1t any wonder then, that they should leave a party which was prosecuting thena- and seek protection in one that is disposed to do them justice? This is only one of the causes that drove the Mormons into the Demo- cratic party.
 The HERALD is not a sympathizer with the Mormon religion, but it does sympathize with any sect or denomination that is being pcrse- cuted, either on account of their re- ligious belief, or because they sec fit to exercise the right guaranteed them under the Constitution of the United States, at the baIlot-box, in a manner that they may think will subserve their interest and afford them the greatest protection.
 The writer has lived among this class of people for a number of years, and can say with truth and without the fear of successful con tradiction, that they are an indus trious, law-abiding and God-learing people. Let any one examine the criminal records of this county, or for that matter, any other county, and they will find that there have been fewer prosecutions among them for criminal oaenses, than there has been among the samenum- Der of any other class, whether Gen tiles, Jews or Mexicans They at tend to their own affairs, as a class, and are willing that their neighbors should do the same.
 But the question is before the peo- pie of Arizona, and iti for them to say, whether they will countenance and uphold party, which is in fa- vor of resorting to the harsh meas ure of depriving large, peacoable and respectable portion of their fel- low-citizens of the dearest right of an American citizen in order that it may obtain and maintain politi- cal power The word has already gone forth to the rank and file of the Republican party in Arizona that they must sacrifice everything to gain control of both branches of our next legislature, that they may re-enact the famous" Slower bill, or one more stringent in it's provi- sions, if it is deemed necessary, in case Congress refuses or fails 10 en- act Wolhey's bill for ''puriication of elections" They are to resort to swapping any and everything to elect members of the Legislature

IF c, ". Cheyney will cut loose from the milestone which his party has hung to his neck, he will be elected by an overwhelming major fly. After destroying the plank oi the party in Arizona, The Land Court Clause" and placing in its stead the un-American anti-Nor- mon slab, they showed an unchari- table disposition in putting their best man on it 10 test its strength.
 The above is from the Tombstone Prospector, one of the three Repub- lican papers that stood by WolAey through thick and thin, and goes to show that honest, conservative Re publicans will not swallow the anti Mormon plank in their platform. We understand the Apache county delegation claim the honor of in- troducing that particular plank in the Territorial platform of the Re publican party. If the claim be @ valid one, the Democratic party owes them a vote of thanks. We are much mistaken in the character and nature of the people of Arizona if they do not show, in an unequiv- ocal and unmistakable manner, that they are bitterly opposed to any such questionable methods of a party obtaining political control of the Territory.

That is the conclusion which was reached at a conference participated in by Re publican leaders from both ends of the Capitol last evening. It was agreed that the tariff bill would certainly be cut of the way by that time, and that other legislation would be in such shape thatitc could be left safely until next session.
 4 Tucson dispatch of Aug. 25th, to the Phoenix Republican, says this morning passenger train No. 20 collided with a work train near Pantano, about twenty miles east of here. r. s. Floyd had his skull fractured and vas so seriously hurt that bis recovery Is deemed doubt ful. Two section foremen were se- riously injured and three Mexican laborers had both their legs broken. James Mead was injured in the head. The accident was caused by the fact that the proper flags had not been displayed by the crew of the work train, which was standing still when the express, rounding curve, ran into the work train, throwing the standing engine from the track. Floyd was the work train engineer. The wreck was cleared away within several hours and the express proceeded on its way.
