A POOR GIRLS FRIEND.

We were gratified on entering
The Police Court, the other morn
ing. to find Lawyer Hewlett de-
tending poor colored girl and
ex-senator Bruce standing near
him. The girl had been charged
bv white woman with having
stolen some little articles of cloth
ing, and had been arrested and
lodged in the station house on
Saturday, to await trial on Mon
day. She was practically friend
less. Mr.. Bruce Learning of the
circumstances went to the station
house at ten o'clock at night, gave
the necessary bouds and put her
for the time being at liberty.
Lawyer Hewlett appeared for her
look charge of the case and in a
few minutes riddled the prosecu-
lion. Judge Miller, one of the
most upright judges who ever
presided over any court, dismissed
the case and sent the poor girl
away rejoicing. 1t is highly graft
flying to US to see our public men
interest themselves in these poor
drtenceless creatures, who are only
two of en- trampled under tile feet

PRESIDENT HARRISON.

1t has become a fixed custom In
this country for the President of
the United States, sometime during
his first term of office, to make an
extended tour through different
parts OF the Union for the purpose,
not only to give the people an op
portunlty of seeing him and form
ing their own estimate as to the
manner of man he is, but also of
better informing himself as to the
wants of the people in these sec.
tions. The trip just completed by
President Harrison, is the most
remarkable one ever made by any
President. Leaving the city of
Washington a month since, and
passing directly through the heart
of the old southern cOnfederacy, he
spoke at all the prominent points
lying In his route. His speeches in
Georgia and Texas have the same
patriotic ring as those made by
him in Colorado and California, in
fact, he was more emphatic in de-
clarlng that the majesty of the law
must be upheld and the sanctiJy of
the ballot protected, while speak
ing befcre southern audiences, than
before those of the West.
He did not pander to southern
|prejudice, but spoke with a bold
raess and inspiration characteristic
of thegreat man he is. The ova-
tions which he received, and the
applause given Ct those points in
his speeches at w6ea he advocated
equality of citiza anship with the
e. eatest holiness, ,Fnttcat5 a-eeGa6ge
in the popular tentiment of the
south. Pluck coupled with lntegri-
ty of purpose afe traits which even
the southern Democrats admire.
They saw 10 the President the rep
resentative, not only of law and
order, but of an era of peace and
prosperity for their section. The
President, by this trip has accom-
plished more in the way OF arOuS-
ing the south to a consideration of
its own interest, and its obligations
to the country at large than any
other living man. He will be renOm
mated by the next Republican Con
ventiOn and the Democratic lea"ers
will End it impossible te hurI the
south solidly against him III 1892.
We repeat what we have said
many times before-that Harrison
has done more to build up the Re
publican party in every section of
this country and to secure proper
consideration for the rights of the
colOred citizen, than any of his dis
tinguished predecessors.

WHERE IS THE MONEY?

Rev. Gray is the unanimous
choice of the church and Was not
elected upon any conditions and
30 far as Rev. Lamkins Is concern
ed, he was compelled to resign.
He was a failure in the church
and for that reason the church
agreed to pay him IS dollars and
accept his resignation. He first
wanted IS dollars and give the
church 80 days to pay him, but
the matter was compromised for
IS dollars as above stated.

THAT RESIGNATION.

A correspondent takes US to

says, that we did that gentleman
injustice when we characterized the
report OF his coming resignation,
as "resignation racket" lie adds
that Mr.. Townsend is indeed earn
est aud unless the administration
does something to placate him
before the 30th of June, that be
will resign and leave the admins
tration to take care of itself as
best il can We cannot agree with
our correspondent; We still insist
tnat it Is nothing more or less
than "resignation racket" intend
ed TO deceive the rustic editor on
the one shand and to induce the
administration on the other, to
give him bigger place lhaE-fR
now has. AS he hss>~neTer been
lo&l to the administration since
he c3Nhefo Washington, as shown
by his published statements, he
cannot be expected to be very
loyal now, unless lie gets better
office, which of course would make
all the difference in the world.
Townsend must not denounce
the administration one day and
expect office at it's hand the next
day. But it seems this is really
the case.

Mining Intelligence.

C. NJ. Clark came in from the Silver Belt mine last evening bringing with him as beautiful a specimen of silver ore as one ever sees. It will weigh about twenty-five pounds and was broken from a piece weighing 800 pounds. The ore will go from S2,0oo to 5000 per ton in silver.
 The output of the Congress mill now is one car load of concentrates daily. Teams are being employed as rapidly as possible to transport this to Prescott from where 1t is shipped for reduction.
 \. C. Sheckel brought in forty pound bar of gold bullion. of the value of over Sl2,O00 from the Crowned King mine last evening. In addition to this shipment of bull lion. saved on the plates. large amount of concentrates were ship ped during the run from which 1t was made, the value of the latter being S397.26 per ton. The mill has been working 10 the entire satis- faction of the owners, as they have been able 10 work the ore up to very close percentage of its assay value. MT. Shekel has had the SUI pevintendency of the mill and has watched its operation very closely, but he speaks very highly of the crew who have been working with hiTn, and under his directions, and of the interest taken in their work. The names of the latter are as fol- lows: engineer, Thos, Bowe and W. \. Cook; in charge of the bat tery and plates. Heury Brown and Ed Howard; in charge of the frue ranners, Geo. A. Stone and Jerry Geren; assayer. w. s. Achner; dryer and sacker. Thos. Smith; bookkeper, 4. $. Skinkle. 1t is the intention to immediately place additional con centrators in the mill.
