THERE has not been a Federal appoint ment for Arizona during the past de- cade that has been more fitting, or more universally satisfactory to our people, than the selection, by President Harrl- son, of Hon. H. F. Jeffords to be United States Attorney. At the bar he stands on the top rung of the ladder in this ter rltory. During a long residence he has always had the respect of Democrats and admiration of Republicans, by his dignified character, and high sense of honor. whether as a private citizen, counselor before the courts, as pubic officer, or fiaying Democracy from the political rostrum with his eloquent tongue. His character is unassailable, his high legal attainments recognized and admired by every lawyer Of stand ing in this Territory, and it is to his honor that few spiteful enemies had to go long ways from home before they could find newspaper, in the columns of which they could obtain space for their whimpering attacks on his charac- ter as a lawyer. His confirmation by the senate should be prompt, as re- buke to that class who are disposed to throttle everything and everybody they cannot master,

Ir has been one of our staple doctrlnes that when the republicans assumed the reigns of government the democrats should be democratic enough to resign the offices they had been temporarily ap- pointed to during the brief interval ef Cleveland's administration. when the republicans were taking a breathing spell preparatory to resuming their Ia bors of conducting the government and its affairs. We mean this territory 2S we'll as national. The democratic (for office only) holders in Arizona are most pltiable lot of fellows as ever disgraced the party they profess allegiance to. Like Morgan R. Wise, late democratic consul at Nogales 'I must have IL. ! need it in my business" and so they hold on like blind possum pups to the otllc-i.. teat. even when the body from which they sought to draw life was dead, and died themselves of political starvation. A year of official labor without salary and then by decree of lhe court to be forced to let I, is from holdover stand po-nt truly heart rending. The su- preme court is in session in Phenix, and Hon. Clark Churchill, Attorney general is after the whole batch of scalps, and the fun of it is he will get them. The holders have earned for themselves the contempt of every true democrat and when hustled off the dead teat, they have drawn no salaries since Gov ernor Wolfey appointed their successors, the universal verdict will be ''served tkem right"

Something New and Good.

Col. Dur has again made step for ward as a public benefactOr. It had come to his ears recently, that some of the ladies of Tucson were complaining abOgt the beer sold iE this city being Jitter. Being On confidential terms with his grandmother. a famous old lady who aas spent hCr life studying the likes and disliseS of her sex, he wrote her, explaining what was the matter with the ladies of Tucson. The grandmother knew at once the remedy, and straight way sent a carload of the celebrated Extra Pale Erlanger Standard Beer. This beer arrived yesterday, and has been sampled by the best judges in this city. and pronounced the best family beer in the West. It is just the thing for the ladies. and no bitter taste is car ried with it. The Colonel asks that every family try few bottles of this beer, and feels confident that they wll have no other afterwards. The grandmother has never made a mistake about the wants and needs of Tucson, and will answer for the satisfaction given by this new beer with her reputation, which is good.
 The Colonel has been instructed to sell this beer at SIP per bbl. and s22O per doz, so that all may share in the luxury nd benefits afforded by its use.

The "A Night Off" Company was at the Opera House last night, and pre- sented the excellent comedy entitled An Arabian Night to a large audience comprising the leading citizens of Tue son. Owing to the prevalence of la grippe the house was not crowded, as 1t would otherwise have been. The play is fun from the first to the closing scene, and the company is composed of awfullY clever people. There has not been play at the Opeaa House this year that met with such hearty applause and gave such universal satisfaction as the one produced by this company.

PROTESTING AGAINST APACHE
 REMOVAL.

Col. Lewellvn, says Washington dis patch to the Globe Democrat, of Santa Fe. New Mexico, who was a candidate last spring for Marshal of that place, IS here again. He is not seeking office this time, being perfectly satisfied With the honors and emoluments ofprivate cit izenship, but he is protesting against tha ramoval of Gerominos band of Apaches, from Vernon Barracks, Ala, to Fort Sill, IT. These Indians are considered by the New Mexicans very had lot. notwithstanding the declara- tions of Gen. Crook to the contrary. Fort Sill is in the southwestern part ot Indian Territory, and it is only about l5O miles across the open plain to New Mexico. The Mascalero Apache Reser- yation in Southern New Mexico IS about four hundred miles from Fort Sill; and Geronimo's band have many relatives among the Hot Spring Indians on thls reservation. It is calculated that they would renew their old custom of ire uuent visits, and that Northern Texas and New Mexico ranchmen along the transit would suffer their petty depreda- tions.
 If these Indians are to be moved, said Col. Lewelly, ''they should be lock in the mountains of North Carolina or Vermont. New Mexico doesn't want them any nearer than they are now What the Government ought to do Is to pay the board of these Indians at some good hotel in Boston. It would be much cheaper in the long run, and would enable the Indians to live in the very midst of their philanthroplc New England friends"

The Wilmington Messenger says this
of Rev. Alexander Sprunt, pastor of
the Henderson Presbyterian Church.,
who was in attendance upon the meet
ing of the Synod in Wilmington last
week, of which body he was the Mod
orator:
The Moderator of the North Caro-
lima Synod now in session in this city,
Rev. Alex. Sprunt, is at home in Will
mington. His election was most
unusual proceeding in as staid a body
as the Synod, which as a rule, reserves
that honor for the older members.
The departure from this rule is rec
ignition of Mr.. Sprunt's ability and of
his laborious and successful efforts
in behalf of evangelistic labor. He
presides we'll, with firm but courte-
Gus hand.
The North Carolina Presbyterian, pub
lished also a. Wilmington, says this of
Mr.. Sprunt:
The Synod could not haze done what
was more justly complimentary to the
recipient, or more gratifying to our city
Presbyterians than the election of Rev.
Alexander Sprunt as Moderator. The
First Church, Wilmington, is proud OF
her son, and appreciates the record he
has made for earnest, untiring, efficient
work for the Master within the bounds
of the Synod. 1t was eminently BETTING
that the child of her nurture through
Sabbath school and sanctuary should
thus be honored within her courts.
Mr.. Sprunt justified the honor put upon
him by a firm but courteous and every
way satisfactory administration of the
Office.

"BACKBONE.'
Rev. Thomas DixOn's Lecture
Last Night.

Decidedly the best lecture that a
Henderson audience has ever had the
pleasure of listening to was that OF
Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., at Burwell
Hall last evening. His subject was
Backbone and the theme was
handled in mastery manner. For
the space of one hour and thirty-eight
minutes he held the large and cultured
audience that greeted him almost spell
bound and carried them with him at
will from the plains of common logic
along the hills and mountain sides of
pathos and humor, up the highest sum-
mits of eloQuence and oratory. 1t was
a grand lecture-a great effort-and
while we may not agree with the gifted
speaker in all of his deductions his
premises in the main were good and we
feel better for having heard him. His
illustrations were apt and some of his
pictures sublime in the beauty and
magnificence of their word painting.
Mr.. Dixon is one Of the most rapid
speakers we have heard, and in this is
the principal objection we have to find
with him. The effect of his oratory
because otherwise he is man Of easy
and natural gifts and attachments as
an orator. is somewhat marred by this
we think. The number Of words he can
crowd into given length of time is SIM
ply wonderful, but he makes himself
clearly understood and his other ac-
complishments SO nearly over-shadow
this defect that we lose sight Of the
rapidity with which the speaker is
taking US along and are positively
sorry when he stops.
That Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., is
a remarkable man no one will dispute
who has heard him. Indeed, he is
q great man, in many of the essential
elements and attributes that 60 to
make up a great man. He has flu.
ture before him pregnant with the rich
promise of great usefulness and honor
if in Gods providence he shall be
spared many years to come.
We thank him for coming to Hender
sou to lecture and in this we are quite
sure we will the sentiment of ever,
one who heard him last evening.

The largest house of the season greeted
Hi. Henry MINISTRIES at the Opera House
last night and the entertainment gave
general satisfaction The first part was
the finest ever seen here in point of cos
tunes and stage draperies and presented
a scene of oriental magnifcencere.
Silks, satins, pushes and diamonds were
there in elegant prOfusiOn and the old
familiar Opera House scenery was COM
pletely hidden from view. Themu was
firs-class and the vocalists would rank
among the best ever heard anywhere.
Will G. Mack, in Southern Life or Scenes

sentation of the aged Southern darkey

the hit of the evening in his incompara-

greeting as soon as he made his appear

his old time skill and is justly entitled to
the high reputation which he has for
years enjoyed.
