AN interesting case is before the ter ritorial counts in which the validity of of the appropriation act of the Four teenth Legislative Assembly ii involv cd. Judges Barnes and Porter have applied for mandamus to compel the Territorial Auditor to allow their accounts for territorial compensation at the rate of one hundred dollars per month. This was the law up to the session of the Fourteenth Legislative Assembly, which body endowed the governor with the power to veto any portion of the appropriation bill with out prejudice to its validity as whole. Exercising this authority Governor Zulick vetoed the paragraph appropri- ating one hupdrsd dollars per month to each of the Judges of the several District Courts, and substituted one half that sum, with which amend ment the bill was approved. Under the organic act of this territory, whicl tskes the place of constitution, the governor is given the power to approve or to disapprove the acts passed by the legislature prior to their becoming laws. This is held by able constilu tional lawyers to mea n that he mus approve or disapproye the whole ac mot a portion thereof. If this viey ia held by the court the appropriation act will be declared illegal but, its pro visions having been fully executed. tn' only effect will be the established righ of the plaintiffs in the case at bar t, receive the salary provided by the pre- yious law upon that subject, namely twelve hundred dollars eaeh per an mum.

The Optic, of Las Vegas, New Mex ico, prints the following truthful item: "Oh, he is only a barkeeper." How little some people think, when they make use of such expressions as the above Only barkeeper" Do you ever stop to think that "only bar keeper" has a heart just the same as yours? Do you know that he is made from the same kind of dust that made you? That the cry of want rings in his ears just as loudly as in yours, and that his heart responds just as quick ly as yours to help his fellow mani Let an unfortunate mortal, man or woman, come 10 that point in life where aims are to be asked, and we would send them just as quickly to only a barkee per-" as to your crowded churches, and be as sure of a helping hand"

ADvIcEs from Washington are to the effect that the Senate Committee on Territories has ordered reported a substitute for the bill to legalize the acts of the Arizona legislatures, that simply legalizes the legislatures, in cluding the last one, and reserves to future legislatures the power to amend or repeal any acts so legalized. 1'hi: eliminates all the objectionable fea- lures included in the measure urged by Governor Wolhey and expresses g confidence in the ability of our people to make their own laws. The actior of the committee will commend itsel to every thoughtful resident of Ari zona as being the nucleus of real goot about which was woven most con temptible scheme to usurp the sacred rights of the people.

A LETTER has been received by Hon P. R. Brady from Delegate NJ. A Smith, stating that the land court bill will be reported favorably to the House with his amendment attached. The purport of this amendment is that the rights acquired by settlers upon grants that may be confirmed by the court shall be respected by the government and that the claimants of the grant may receive other lands in lieu there of. This feature will change the con. test from the people to the govern. ment, and the objections heretofore urged against the organization of such a court are thereby removed.

Statehood.

The desirabiiity of statehood for Arizona is argued pro and con with considerable vehemence and loss ol temper by certain of the Territorial press. Since the admission of the Dakotas, Washington and Montana, and the subsequent action of Con. gress relative tO Idaho and Wyom- ing, the question is becoming so great ly agitated that dregs rise to the sur face obscuring the point at issue. The prevailing sentiment, however, ap- pears favorable toward discarding the worn habiliments of dependency and with that feeling the Times is in sympathy.
 The humiliating bondage imposed upon Arizona; the prevention of q free exercise of the franchise that should be accorded citizens, as is evidenced by withholding the right to cast ballots for Presidential candi- dates; the absence of vote in Con gress rendering intellectual all at tempts to obtain appropriations for interior improvements; the eternal 1 local domination of whatever party is in power, irrespective of the views of the people; the guardianship of a congressional committee on Territor- ies made up of members from States which naturally have nothing in com mon with Arizona and whose Repre- sentatives cannot be expected to cater 1 to our necessities, when their owr districts demand every instant of theil time; the appointment by the Presi dent of resident federal officials who may not be the choice of the citizens whose affairs they are called upon to conduct; the constant payment O. taxes to the Government with but q small proportion returned, as well a, the application of the non-Americar principle of taxation without rep resentation-these and numerous other reasons would seem sufficien to warrant demand for statehood whereby home officials are elected tc office by majority of the votes cas within the limits of Arizona.-Ium.

ANOTHER bill for the admission of Arizona to statehood has been in- troduced in the United States senate and there is still hope that it will be favorably considered. It is deplora ble fact that the extension of this right to the people of the territories too often depends upon the partisan complexion of those who seek it and merit cuts but little figure. Just why this anomaly of dependent existence is permitted under our republican form of government brings TO satis- factory response from those possess ing the power to remedy it, and no | good reason can be advanced for re- fusing admission to any territory hay ing the ability to sustain state gov ernment. Arizona possesses all the essential requisites for statehood and is anxious to add another star to the national banner; its people demand it as right apl do not ask it AS a favor. They recognize the responsi- Utilities it involves and they are ready to accept them. They want the con- stitutional privilege of self govern ment and base their claim upon their right as American citizens to enjoy all the privileges and benefits guaran- teed by the national constitution
 Whether it's people will add more or less party strength to one of the opposing political factions should cut no figure in the consideration of this question. The people are no less
 American citizens ii they subscribe
 to the principles of either political ' party and it is not right that they
 should be punished by political peon-
 age for the free exercise of their right of opinion. We hope the nationa , congress will recognize the justice o our demands and we will vouch fo the fact that the people will prov' themselves fully capable of maintain ing the dignity of honorable statehood in a manner that will be creditable t, } the American union.

A REGENT communication in

RECENT communication in Fl ffronterizo of Tucson, complains that the Mexican prisoners in the Yuma penitentiary are discriminated against in many ways that are oppressive to them. From n conversation with com. missioner Brady We are inclined to be lieve that no just cause exists for this charge. The prisoners are all put to the kind of labor their qualifications and skill best fit them for and as a rnle the class of Mexicans found with in it's walls possess little industrial skill beyond that of common labor'rs. Prisoners are permitted to employ their leisure hours in the manufacture of such saleable articles as their tal- ents best fit them for, and the money obtained therefor is sometimes expend- ed in procuring few of the luxuries not included in the usual prison fare. To this practice there can be no ob- jection urged, for the man enjoys the fruits of his own industry. No one is denied this privilege by reason ol nationality or other cause, and VIC know it to be fact that Mexican pris oners have so employed their time and have received the encouragement of the prison officials, although w know not what disposition they chose to make of the proceeds thereof tn der the rules no discrimination i permissible and such complaints gen erally come from persons who regar, labor as the most severe punishmen that could be visited upon them. Bu even though these charges were tru the treatmentof the complaining part is infinitely better and more humanel considerate than that meted out b. his countrymen to the unfortunat Americans who come under the ban ( their displeasure and are frequentl subjected to brutal indignities in Me' ican prisons for offences of which the are innocent. In the case in questio we cannot believe that any reasonabl cause of complaint exists, and the pri on authorities stand ready to exten the utmost facilities for rigid invest gation thereof.

DANIEL PRATT BALDWIN.
A Few Words About Him and the Wa
 bash Cattle Company of Arizona.

An Indianapolis special to the Gin cinnau Commercial Gazette of April | 18th, says: Daniel Pratt Baldwin is out in an iterview in this mornings Journal, denying the charges made by the citizens of Arizona against the Wabash Cattle Company, as detailed in the Commercial Gazette of yester- day. Daniel says the charges are not true because he is good enough lawyer to keep his company from having law suits, and for the further reason that the Judge who is accused of compile ity lives two hundred miles from hls ranch. Both are very hefty reasons and must be convincing despite the sworn testimony in possession ot the committee of citizens. Baldwin ad- mitted that he was in Washington and interested himself in having Judge Wright retained, but says he only did 30 because he thought the Judge was being persecuted.
 Baldwin has lived in Indiana nearly forty years, and no other case Is on record of his having interested himself . they were being persecuted. All his life he has been q persecutor, and not a voluntary champion. He says his company has had no lawsuits. That is not what has been charged against the company, but that 1t Ind itself be- hind some one. else, in the cases men toned, it being behind the Prosecuting
 Attorney. He says that he won a su.t against the Atlantic and Pacific
 Railroad Company. That had noth-
 ing to do with the charges made and
 Baldwin only mentions 1t to advertise
 himself as successful attorney. But
 since he has dragged that suit into
 the matter, it will be we'll to tell what
 connection 1t did have with Judge
 Wright, as Baldwin says that owing
 to his representations to President
 Harrison, he declined to remove
 Wright
 Baldwin represented to the Presl
 dent that the animus against Virgin
 was because he was endeavorlng t'
 compel the railroad company to pa, large amount of taxes due, and tha the parties who were asking his re
 moval were interested in getting tn , company clear of the taxes. As soor as that was brought to the attention
 of the people of the Territory, the. , promptly gathered mp the tax receipt f of the railroad company and forward ! ed them to Washington to show tha
 the representations of Baldwin wer false. On the reception of the docu 5 ments the President promptly re t moved Wright and appointed Hon S II. C. Gooding. When Baldwin l. permitted to tell his own story he one of the most guileless and innocen p men in the world, little too good @ live among the wicked people of In , diana, but during his entire residenc l in Indiana he has known but on 9 rule of action, and that was to feathe e the nest of Daniel Pratt Baldwin, an n he has never been. overscrupulou }. about the means by which it ws n done. w.

Arizona Can do 1t.
SAM'L HUGHES.

A Los Angeles man writing to his old home paper in Missouri, says that with improved machinery he can put his alfalfa in stack for 2S cents ton. That is wonderfully cheap and seems almost incredible, but the world moves and the enterprising farmer is keeping pace to the march of progress. If alfalfa can be cut, gathered and stack ed in California for 28 cents ton, ii can also be done for like price in the Salt River valley, and it grows forty per cent. more luxuriant here than in any portion of California, and all the conditions for its extensive cultivation exists in this valley, while in California it's cultivation Is con fined to small areas, and lands ;n the golden state suitable for it's cultiva- ton are both scarce and costly rang ing all the way from $100 to $500 per acre; while in this valley the finest alfalfa lands are being sold from $50 to $7O per acre, ard the acreage is almost boundless.
 There are now on the various ranges of Arizona 300, 900 head of cattle
 many more than can be fattened or
 prepared for market by any known
 process aside from alfalfa pasturage
 Does it come home to our cattlemen
 and farmers with force that the
 beeves of the future and, in fact, oI
 the present, must be supplied from
 the alfalfa fields of this territory
 Arizona, during the year 1890 will, in
 all probability, ship 100000 head o
 beef cattle to the various markets o
 the nation, aud the fact of the range;
 being stocked up to their utmost ca
 pacity leaves no doubt as to the only
 means left to make this industry pro fitable.
 Cattlemen must sell cattle to sup ply the necessary funds to conduc their business, and in order to mak, such sales and to compete in the bee market of the country, their cattl must be in prime condition Henc it is only left for them to utilize tn : extensive and almost inexhaustibl alfalfa fields of the Salt River valle
 to bring about the desired result, an l the sooner the stock raisers of Ar ! zona become cognizant of this fac l the greater will be their gains.
 a It is useless to combat this propC T sition it is as certain as fate and car Q not be prevented. Business Is oftime '- forced to accept conditions not at a | in harmony with their ideas of tn fitness of things, but must accept tn T. inevitable and make the most frol s what is presented; and, We repea + the sooner the cattleman of Arizon n procure alfalfa lands for the purpo; t above set forth, the quicker and mol y satisfactory will this problem l [, solved. -PheniX Gazette.

THE tendency of modern times is
 owards the concentration of effort by
 which the individual or corporation
 achieves material success. Hence we
 ee the merchant bending his utmost l 5nergy in promoting his trade; the banker utterly absorbed in the study of finance; the farmer toiling early
 and late; the lawyer engrossed in the
 solution of intricate questions of law and so on through the entire cata-
 logue of avocation-each concentrat-
 ing his whole efforts in the direction
 of his special calling and giving but
 little attention to aught else that sur
 rounds him. In the hurry incident
 to their competing struggles for ad-
 vancement they are prone to neglect
 q great deal that concerns them and
 to submit with indifference to matters
 of much importance that directly affect their interests. They glance
 hurriedly at the newspapers; read a
 paragraph here and there, and their
 minds often retain but a superficial
 comprehension of what is transpiring
 around them. They seldom find time
 to attend the primary movements in a
 political campaign and apparently are
 quite content to allow others to formu-
 late the plans of q campaign and to
 carry out the details which they
 finally endorse by their ballot hurried
 ly deposited ut the polls. At last, il
 is too often the case, they awaken tC
 the realization that public matter: , have gone wrong; that the party manipulators have shaped affairs . to their own individual interests, anC the burdens of taxation have been SC F greatly increased that they are start 2 led by the conditions that sternly con . front them. This is the state o s affairs that exists to-day, and the peo - pie have at last become aroused t | the necessity of changing its current [ The empty promises of the profes t sional politicians of both parties hor' 2 no relief and they naturally turn t y the most rational method that prom y ises q reform, and spontaneous uI y rising of the substantial citizens of tn e Territory in an independent move 'i ment is the only alternative. If tn y taxpayers expect to receive the bent r. fits of good and economical goverr y ment they must combine against tn n tricksters that have brought abou le the oppressive condition of publi B. affairs. They can expect nothing ( d the political parties responsible ther, l. for; for the reason that neither wi
 stuliify it's own works. In the il
 terests of the public welfare we urg r the good people to unite in one carr oi est and honorable effort to remed r. the present ills by cutting loose fro V partisan machinery, and for once 'e take matters into their own hands ar ei elect the most capable and substsnti TIT citizens to the next legislative assen 'h ply, pledged to the performance CT their wishes.
