The next thing I knew the water was
making over our decks. The steamer was
fast sinking. With wild idea OF saving
ourselves, several of the crew and myself
scrambled mp the port forcrigging. Down,
down went the steamer and up we climbed.
We reached the foregallant yard, and Just
then the hull reached the bottom.
"This left us just out of water, but a
very large swell would wet our legs. There

Walked Up EfeCtually.

A lethargic, dormant condition of the liver is hardly to be overcome with dras- tic cathartics and nauseous cholagogues. A gentler, plea anter and far more eff ct- i've means exists of arousing the ors an when somnolent. This IS Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, vouched for by the medical fraternity, tested by the public for many years. A resumption by the Oiliary organ of its secretive function, with the activity attendant upon health, return to regularity of the bowels, and a renewal of digestion, are the no less happy and certain results of using the Bitters systematically. It's laxatixe ef- feet is never painful and drenching, its tendency being rather to perpetuate reg . ularitY than to produce copious action.

ANY religious test oath is and al- ways will be odious to free people, hence the anti-mormon legislation now being urged for Arizona has no backing where dwell tree men and women. The spirit of Americanism requires hat punishment shall not be inflicted for any uncommitted wrong, and rejects the doctrine that any man may be rightly punished by human law for his thoughts. However, when men violate the law and commit a crime it may follow that the loss of citizenship will result therefrom.- Phenix Gazette.
 The above extract, taken from the newspaper that claims to be the lead ing organ of the Democratic party in the Territory, is significant. It hints at what will be one of the lines on which that party will conduct its side of the next political campaign. It is whispered that MT. Samuel Webb, the President of the Gazette Publishing Company, has an ambition to be the Democratic candidate for Delegate to Congress, and for this and other req sons it is to be presumed that the Gazette speaks by authority. The above item shadows forth that the Democratic party intends to use every persuasion and means in its power to secure the solid Mormon vote. By this that party places itself on record as being an apologist for organized crime under the guise of religion places itself on record as being the apologisU for an organization that has for years bid defiance to the govern ment and is at heart traitorous as- sociation; places itself on record as the advocate and apologist of so- called religious society that has for its corner stone and chief tenet of belief the degradation of womanhood, the houting of the marriage VOW, the eradication of the home and the pro- pagation of bastafds. Arizona cannot afford to let it be known to the world that a party which truckles to the Mormon church is the dominant one. It is in order for the Republican party to accept this challenge and conduct its fight on American principles, and it is our belief that if it does so we can make a clean sweep of the Terri. tory and so effectually scotch this Mormon snake that 1t will never more show its head in our political affairs.

A NOTICE to the taxpayers of the city of Tombstone, over the signature of Mayor Thomas, asking that meet ing of citizens be called to devise means for reducing taxation, was pub lished few evenings since. A care full reading of the notice would seem to indicate that movement has been inaugurated, by interested parties, to do away with the city charter and place our city under the provisions of what is known as the Blinn act. liter a careful perusal of this act, it is not apparent that any saving would be effected by the change, but on the contrary the door would be opened for a much larger expenditure, and many advantages that an incorporated city enjoys would be lost. An another ob- jection is that our city would be gov erned by board of trustees to be ap- pointed by the Board of Supervisors. The EPITAPH is unalterably opposed to any law or scheme whereby the right of the people to choose their officers, no matter how small the office, is taken away from item. It is pro- ductive of jobbery and corruption, and iS undemOcrafic If this mOve- ment is for the purpose of surrender ing the charter and placing our city government under the operations of the Blinn act, the E"rTApH wishes to be placed on reco 'd as being opposed to 1t but at the same time we are in favor of any reasonable arrangement by which taxation may be reduced.

THE news now comes from Wash ington, and from reliable sources, that Attorney General Miller has made up his mind to appoint the Chief Justice for Arizona from the outside. He has come to this conclusion on ac- count of the attacks made on Judges Sloan and Kibbey. The EPITAPH re- grets that this is the case, for we had hoped that the northern portion of the Territory would receive recogni- ton through the appointment of MT. Wells, of Prescott. But the dog-in- the-manger politicians have only them selves to blame There was no truth, sense, justice or reason for the inde- cent attack made on Judges Sloan and Kibbey, as their records, ever since their advent in the Territory, were clean. In commenting on the deci- sion of Attorney General Miller the Phenix Gazette professes great sorrow and lays the blame where it properly belongs, but is entirely oblivious of the active part it took in the nefariOus business. This is refreshing. The Gazette was the mouthpiece Of the parties who made the attack. It omitted no opportunity, in and out of season, to vilify Judge Sloan, and no charge was too mean and contempti- ble for it 10 make. Now that the band of conspirators has been de- fealed and Arizona, by reason of their actions, has been deprived of an i'm portant office, that journal sits off in a corner and whines like bear with sore head.

AN interview with Mark Smith is published in the New York Herald of a recent date on the resources of Ari- zona and ;ts fitness for statehood MT. Smith makes a showing that ought to convince Congress that we are able to walk alone as a State, and that we would be much better of if allowed to manage our own affairs. Notwith- standing the fact that Wyoming and Idaho are making application for ad- mission without the formality of an
 enabling act, the probabilities are that they will be admitted. Neither one of these Territories have either the wealth or population of Arizona, and, especially in the case of Wyom- ing, are not as able to bear the bur dens of statehood. The only reason why constitutional convention was not called and application made for the admission of Arizona was that some politicians thought that it was to their interest to defeat the measure, and in their successful effort to do so turned the affairs of the Territory topsy turvy. Finding that they had done more mischief than they had calculated on, that they had raised a devil they could not down, the chief of this cabal, Governor Wolhey, went to Washington and is trying to rem edy the evil by endeavoring to lobby through Congress a bill legalizing all the laws of Arizona, has caused to be introduced two meritorious measures affecting Arizona, hoping by these means 10 crawl back into public favor, but it is not probable that they will succeed. While the Governor is en- gagged in this work he loses no chance to give the movement for statehood a quiet stab whenever opportunity of fers, nullifying all of MT. Smiths ef. forts in that direction. Although the EPITAPH is opposed to MT. Smith DO
 litically, we sincerely hope that ht may succeed in getting an ennablins act through Congress. It would ad
 vance every interest of the Territory

It shall be, and is hereby, declared the duty of the loan commissioners to provide for the payment of the existing Territorial indebtedness due, and to become due, Tor that is now, or may be hereafter, authorized by law,l and for the pur- pose of paying, redeeming, and re- funding all or any part of the princi- pal and interest, or either of the exist ing Territorial legal indebtedness, and also that which may at any time be- come due, or is now, or may be here after, authorized by law the said commissioners shall, from time to time, issue negotiable coupon bonds of this Territory when the same can be done at lower rate of interest and to the profit and benefit of the Territory

The Territorial Funding Bill.

Following is the full text of the bill introduced in Congress providing for funding all indebtedness of the Territory, of whatever nature. It will repay perusal:
 In the Senate of the United States, February 10, MT. Jones of Arkansas, from the Committee on Territories, submitted the following report on Senate bill No. 1872.
 The Committee on Territories, to whom was referred the bill (S. 1372) approving with amendments, the fund ing act of Arizona, having considered the same and accompanying papers, report as follows:
 The assessed valuation of the Ter ritory of Arizona is in round numbers $30, ,000, 900, and the indebtedness of the Territory, counties, cities, and school districts, about $3.0O0,OOO, or 10 per cent of the assessed valuation.
 The rate of interest on the present indebtedness is not less than 6 per cent, and much of it is 10 per cent. per annum, the average being about s per cent.
 The high rate of interest has been paid regularly, and all the bonds, Ter ritorial, county, city, and school, are held at or about par, and they were all issued for indebtedness created prior to the Harrison act At the time said act went into effect the territorial and county treasuries were without funds until the next taxes were paid. In order to carry on government it be- came necessity to create debt, and this debt was placed in the form of warrants bearing 10 per cent interest Notwithstanding the high rate of in- terest these warrants have never had a good commercial stan'.ing on ac- count of their dubious legal status. It is therefore fact that the running expenses of the territory including counties, cities, and school districts are largely increased by the depreciated value of warrants and the high rate of interest they bear. The Territory and many of the counties have each year fallen a little behind the preced- ing year in meeting their expenses and it is therefore an absolute neces sity to afford them relief.
 The committee believe that Terri torial bond, with the long time pro. posed, and having the approval oi Congress, can be sold at par, bearing a less rate of interest than can be sold in any other way, and thereby secure for the territory the much needed re- lief and the saving of $100,0O0 an nually.
 The provisions of the bill for carry. ing the same into effect have been carefully considered by the committee and are found to be ample, and that except to legalize the indebtedness there is no responsibility attached to the United States.
 The time within which indebtedness: may be funded is placed at December 3l, 1890, when the taxes are due and payable. From and after that date there will be cash on hand with which to meet the current expenses of the Territory.
 The committee are unanimously o the opinion that the Territory of Ari zona Is entitled to relief, and therefore report back the accompanying bill with the recommendation that it dc | pass.

A FEW days since dispatch of a sensational nature was published in the Tucson Star, 10 the effect that Governor Wolhey had asked Congress to confer upon him the power of re- moving any county officer in the Ter ritory at will. While the EPTTAPH has not any great admiration for the pres ent occupant of the gubernatorial chair, at the same time we give him credit for better sense and political judgment than to ask Congress to confer on him any such unheard of powers. Even if such should be the case our citizens need not worry them- selves over the matter, as Congress will never confer on anyone such mower

CONSIDERABLE space is given up this week to the publication of the bill introduced in Congress providing for the funding of the entire debt of the Territory of whatever nature. It is comprehensive, and contains all necessary safeguards against any un- fair advantage being taken of any of its provisions. By the enactment of this law and the putting of it in force our finances will be put on sound basis and a great saving effected.
