ENTERED IN THs POST OFFICE AS secoEo-ctAss MATTER.

LAST Wednes lays election was a disagreeable surprise to many of our citizens, and ought to have caused them 10 entertain many new ideas. IL ought to teach them that a minority of 78, even if they are taxpayers, have no right 10 make an attempt to over turn a city government and turn out officers that have been elected by the vote of 700 electors. It ought to teach them that although man may not be taxpayer he is entitled to d voice in the government under which he lives. II ought 10 more fully inn press upon their minds one of the great principles of our government, that the majority rules. By their votes fast Wednesday a majority of the taxpayers expressed the American idea of fair play and once more con demned the attempt to abIidge the rights Of American citizens and de
 prive them of voice in the conduct of public affairs. The Blinn Act, un- der which it was sought to reincor- porate Tombstone, is specimen Of vicious legislation, is undemocratic and has not one redeeming feature. It attempts to disfranchisc the major ity oE our citizens, legislates men out of office. at the behest of a minority, who have been elected by the people at large, and attempts 10 place the gov ernment of a large community in the hands of officers in whose choice the majority of the governed have had no voice. It does not follow because a man is not taxpayer that he does no: take an interest in public affairs and is not entitled to consideration. Ii 1t were not for this portion of our citi- zens it is not probable that our fire department would be manned in case of need or that we would have a very large army in time Of war, and men who willingly assume these duties of citizenship are entitled 10 some voice. The next legislature should repeal the present law and pass one which does not contain the objectionable features that the present one contains.

IT is sta ed as fact that Governor Woltiey will start d newspaper in Phe- nix, to be called the Arizona Repub- lican, and that it is intended to be the organ of his administration and incl dentally the mouthpiece of the Repub- lican party of the Territory. A news paper started under such auspices is predestined to failure. and by the time the Governor gets through with the experiment he will be lighter in purse and have a large stock of ex- perience for sale cheap.

THE,petitiOn presented to the Board of Supervisors asking for the election just passed contained l45 names. Of this number the disincorporationist boiled only 78,-a little more than half. This would seem to indicate that many signatures were obtained through misrepresentation, and that as the canvass progressed these men discovered the deception that had been pracliced on them, and conse- quently voted the other way. The committee made many blunders. The attempted secret meeting changed many votes, as d.d also the appoint ment of the Board of election officers. These officers are all reputable gentle men and no one doubted that they would conscieniously perform their duties, but the committee would have retained many votes and gained many others if they had procured the ap- pointment ol men who had expressed no opinion whatever. An attempt was being made to establish new form of government for our city, and the whole proceedings on the side of the committee showed that an effort was being made to ignore the rights of the great majority of our citizens, and it consequently met the defeat it deserved. If the question of disincor- poratiOn bad been submitted 10 q gen crai vote 1t would have been voted down by a majority of at least 800.

In another column will be found communication from a prominent and reputable citizen of Tombstone, asking some questions of Supervisor Mont gomery touching his citizenship. As our correspondent states, MT. Mont gomery's name appears on the great register of 1882 as being naturalized, although in the same line he is put down as having been born in the United States. Which one is mis- ,ake we do not know, but according to his own statement MT Montgomery Is not a natural born citizen. At a ban uuet rendered to MT. Brennan, who visited this city in 1883 as an agent of the Irish Land League, MT. Montgom- cry stated in a speech that he was born in Canada, of Irish parents. This being the case, why is it that at every subsequent registration he has sworn that he was born in the United States It would appear that, to put it mildly, some one handles the truth in rather a reckless manner. It is the opinion of most people that law officers should be citizens, and now that this question has been raised MT Montgomery owes it to himself and his friends to make an explanation, f he can.

THE Prescott Courier, which here tOfore has been a strong opponent Of the movement for statehood, has fin ally seen ahe error of its way and now comes out unreservedly for statehood. John, we like you better. and feel that your change of heart is largely due 10 the missionary efforts of the EPITAPH. From various articles that have ap- peared in the Tucson Citizen of late, it would not be surprising if that journal, as soon as it is freed from the leading strings of the Governor by the establishment of his personal organ in Phenix, will come over to our side. All indications point to the conclusion that by the time the next election comes around the sentiment in favor Of statehood will be so strong hat the Governor will not dare a sec ond time to nullify the will of the people as expressed through the legis- lature.

GOVERNOR WoLFEY can't keep still Notwithstanding his many blunders he will persist in publishing his letters. his latest faux pas is the publication of letter to some Congressman, in which q number of misstatements are made. Another thing that this last letter of his shows is that the Cover nor dictated the policy of the Tucson Citizen in ils opposition 10 statehood, which the EPITAPH always suspected. In fact, the Governor seems to want to run everything in the Territory. If the Governor would only give his tongue or pen a rest we would all get along much better.

Secret of DEATH"
His voice, soft as it was, plainly audi
ble above the strange sounds with which
the place was filled, and not syllable
escaped the listening ears of Manvers.
Come, Queen of the JUNGLE" con-
tinued the doctor. zone little twinge
and all will be over, and remember
beauty. the poisonous gland will gro
again, and you will be as deadly and
venomouS as ever"
The reptile had wound its tail round
the doctors arm, and was gazing up
into his face with the bright eyes which
glittered like diamonds. The doctors
right hand stole into his pocket. and re-
appeared again holding minute pair
of silver forceps. while his left began to
glide down the creatures neck.
But the moment had now come when
Manyers. who had been spellbound by
the strange scene and terrible confess
sion which had dropped from the MUIR
derer's alips, could no longer restrain
himself. With bound he sprang for
ward, and, grasping the doctor by the
shoulder. exclaimed in a voice which
quivered with emotion: ''TreacherouS
assassin, have L hunted you down at
last? Men. seize him. The villain has
just confessed to two murders of the
vilest description. have heard every
word he said, and yiler monster never
trod this EARTH"
The start which Langton Hesselton
gave and the sudden approach of a
stranger irritated the cobra. In an in
slant her hood was inflated, and, with
sharp hiss, she darted her fangs into
the hand which grasped the silver for
ceps. A spasm of pain passed over the
livid features. and, with sudden i'm
pulse of fury, he tore the snake from
his arm, and, throwing it upon theflOor,
trampled her to death, regardless of the
many bites which the creature inflicted
upon him in her death agony. ''It is
enough" said he, recovering his calm
ness. mo mortal skill can save
me. do not know who you are," he
continued, addressing Manvers, 'sthough
your face seems familiar to me. At any
rate, had it not been for my dead friend
here your evidence would have fixed
the cord round my throat AS it is, es-
cape the hangman and the gi1bett even
if L lose the rich lands and domed pal
aces of Oranipore."
DR.. Langto Hesselton was a true
prophet. In three hours he was dead
man, for the poison which had destroyed
father and daughter proved equally
fatal to their murderer.
