Why. CrrtainIr.

Are we 10 disincorporate simply be- cause a few who are 10 be benefited thereby-and a few others who don't know what they want, but who always side in with the powers that be, or I-have chance to be-say we must? Because one or twaSnen have got 10 the end of their ropes in certain direc- lions and demand Chat the taxpayers lengthen the same and threaten all manner of dreadful things if their de- mand is not complied wiih? Because ' few men, who have always Ieen the first Q put on long faces and make doleful assertions that ,he camp was gone in" and would never come up again; that we had mo resources, no business, ,qo money, no no'hing," and that Tombstone was "eone to the dogs" and they couldn't see no way out of il, i" and "wiShed they had never struck the place" and so on and so iorth-when they were crossedin some little ret scheme-are these the ones we shall listen to with meek humility and bowed heads when tHcy say, ,~You must H-ineorporate; SO long as we were not interiered wi a city govern ment was all right, but you have put a stop to our opera ions; we want to run the machine 10 suit ourselves and you must make village-of the camp and then youcan whistle-weIl attend to the rest?" And we'll do it? oh, yes! Of course. This balmy sp.ing weather is bringing forth many green things but the real taxpayers of Tomb stone haven't as much green in their eyes as some people might tbink who are unacquain,ed with hem. Ger iainly we will disincorp crate, but not the City Of Tombstone. There will be enough, though. and a few of the present widowed agita- tors will probably think. there is too much. Oh, yes! "Disiucorporate" will be the watchuord.

dastardlv attempt at wholesal

A dastardly attempt at wholesale slaughter was discovered few days ago by an employe of A. Bauer. Swill has been taken from one of the restaurants in this city to MT. Bauer's slaughter house for several months and last Thurs day large lump of bread or dough was found in the swill literally filled with finely broken glass. It was fortunate that the discovery was made, as every animal eating the glass would undoubt- edly have died ard no one would have discovered the cause. Such acts as this should be severely punished.

It is lamentable fact that there are some people in the United States, en- toying liberty which they are unable to appreciate or understand, who be- lieve that unlimited official power should be given to one man, and they have the i'll grace to proclaim their be- lief through the press.

S573 5

It will be noticed that for the months of January and February, 1890, the sum of S2I8 78 was overpaid on two bIlis aggreg4ting S328 75, or, in other word, the Board of Supervisors allowed over 200 per cent more than the bills should have cn allowed for under the existing contract. Nice looking prospect for the remainder of the year, isn't 1t? The sum of SIo9 39 per month would make the nice little amount of SI,3I2 6S for he year; S354 v owe paid during the last six months of 1889, and S2I8 78 alrrady overpaid for two mcnths of this year make S573 5. And all this by our ultra economical and extra watchlul Board of Supervisors.

 In the above bill the item of "chang- dates three times" is unnecessary, for correcting a mere typographical error does not belong in the blll; neither does the item of binding the licenses, as there was no contract to that effect, and the charge is the same as for printing; the book of records only cost about SI2 50 to former Boards, and the price has not been advanced by the firms which man ufacture them; the 100 county bonds can be procured of any reputable firm for $50, and as they were not printed in the Territory the original bill only for them should have been paid.

GERMANI'S LABOR BILL.

Committee.

The Reichstag Refers 1t to Big
Committee.
BERLIN, May 20.-The discussion of
the labor bill was continued in the
reichstag to-day. Baron Won Berepsch,
PrusSian minister of commerce, denied
that the bill failed to carry out the
promises contained in the imperial de-
creeS. OF that the classes owning prop
erty had adversely Influenced the meas
ure. The federal governments, the min
ister said, acted independently of DO
litlcal parties, and had not allowed party
feeling to shape the bill The objects
of the measure, dealing with the labor
of women and children and with Snn-
day rest, were intended to train strong
and healthy working population and to
strengthens family life. The fixing of a
maximum working day for males was
not practicable at present. Circum-
stances might precipitate a reaction,
which would injure industry The pro
poSal to increase the number of factory
inspectors was not leveled against en-
plOyers. who, Baron Won Berlepsch said,
need not fear that the bill would not
conserve their just rights. After pro-
lOnged debate, the reichStag referred
the labor bill to committee of twenty
eight members.
