While there may be a sincere and hon
purpose among farmers to secure
some relief for their depressed industry
they have unwittingly, as in every
movement of this kind, fallen into the
hands OF political tricksters and Wis
ionaires who invite them to certain
defeat and shame. Such men only
want a leverage to hoist themselves
into n~otoriety, there being no possible
show OF gaining power. One cannot
read the financial plank OF their plat
form without coming to the conclu-
sion that an attempt is made to warm
over the old greenback doctrine OF
finance. Money. and lots of it, seems
to be the demand, it matters not what
it is based on, orits purchasing power.
The proposition to make loan agency
out OF the government is to ridicu-
lous to originate with a child. They
want the government to loan money
on "non-perishable products" This

fined to the agricultural industry. as
is the intent. Those OF other vocations
are to be barred from the benefits o.
the loan agency although they con
tribute to the support of the govern
ment. 1t is a lunacy OF the rankes,
kind and we don't believe there is 6
hard-headed farmer i'm the land, par
ticularly in Montana, that will endors'
the scheme.

Tombstone epitaph., 1891-03-01
Who Did EG?

A representative Of the PROsPECToR was allowed to be present this after, noon at an interview by the Sheriff with CarrillO, brother of Manuel, who was killed so mysteriously last Sunday at Sulphur Springs. He did not know till after he had been ques- toned what it was all about, and not until the Shenf pulled some letters from a drawer, which were found upon the dead man, did the truth dawn upon him that his brother had been killed then he wept like Q child. He conlrsdicts the story that his brother came to Tombstone, and says that he owns a mule .eam and was freightinC t0 Globe. He knows ol no one who owed his brother a grudge and can not account Tor the killing It is certain that the two men never came to Tombstone. Sheriff Keiton telegraph ed his deputy at Wilcox to go to the scene of the killing and investigate every circumstance. This vas done as soon ss the report reached here last Tuesday and other steps Go sift the matter have been taken. It is the opi1ion Of several cattle men in the valley that the men were caught with stolen stock in their possession and fight snEued. Another theory is that they were followed from Wileox and killed for their guns and saddles by some of their cOuntTymen- They never owned property in Tombstone and never came here.

The Moderno. a paper printed in Spanish to promote closer relations between this country and Mexico, says: Mexico does her share in en. oouraging commerce with this coun- try, but the United States seems to think that all the encouragement must come from one side. This is hardly fair, to say the least. As an instance of she willingness ol the Mexican gov ernment to promote commerce may be mentioned the many millions of dollars which sine pays annually to railroads and steamship lines, Mexico has not, perhaps, one-tenth oi ihe commerce and less per eentage of de- veEoped wealth than the United States but she gives more substantial encOur agement to commerce than this coun try with it's boasted wealth and deyel- opmept."

TIE STORM.
some Idea of ifs Ex;eBa end
 Damage Done.

Latest reports show that the storm is about over. Serious damage has been done to railway property in the southern part of California especially.
 The line entering Los Angeles from the north is in almost as bad condi- ton as last year. Much or ,he new and costly work which required ten months 10 complete has suffered from the storm. Two hundred feet of the bridge west of Los Angeles has been carried away. The tunnel at the en- trance of the canyon is damaged badly.
 Cn the Yuma division eight bents of the bridge were destroyed and the tracks were six feet out of line in many places.
 Tine bridge near Monterey was car ried away. Several washOuts of track have been reported near Pomona and east of Colton 9 feet Of tracks. round house, sidinRs and everything nova ole have been swept away by the waters. Between Banning and Colton several bridges have been weakened.
 On Santa Ana branch the tracks are under water for long stretch. and in some places have been washed away. On the south of Downing station the new railroad bridge has deen destroy ed and the town flooded. Between Seven Palm and Yuma the track is in a bad cUntition. The wires are in bad condition and nothing def- nite is known ol the condition Of roads in other directions.
 The Sunset route will probably be in operation before a week, but DO tickets to California will be sold at present.
 The Atlantic and Pacific is washed out near Barstow and they have sus- pended the sale of tickets via Mojave for one week. The passengers will be sent east over the Central Pacific, the latter route being in good condition as is also the Shasta line.

TIE DOUBLE MURDER.
Some Facts Elicitcd by R COrO-
 BeI's Jury at Wilcox.

The mystery surrounding the recent murder of two Mexicans near Sul- phur Springs deepens with the addi- tional light thrown upon it by the testimony taken before a coroner's jury at wilcox. From the StOckman the following facts are taken:
 The men, Manual Castillo and Guadalupe Castillo, cousins, cane to Wilcox several months since from Sil yer City, New Mexico, and while here had no vocation, claiming they were looking for work. Tuesday morning, A weeE ago, the men left here. telling Mir. Ruth they were going 10 Tomb stone. to receive some money for a certsin piece of real estate they had recently disposed of there, while other evidence showed they went for the purpose of looking for work. By s letter recently written, however, il would appear that the main object ot the visit was to see the brother of one Of them, who was recently committed to the county jail from Wilcox for lar ceny.
 Prom the time of their lea ing here no word was received from them until the report Of their being found dead, and it is supposed from the lapse of time that they were on their ~ay back to Wilcox.
 From the evidence of Messrs. Re maud and Caldwell. il appears that the men had camPed Saturday night near where their bodies were found. and early Sunday morning were surprised l by their murderer or murderers and ran about A hundred yards before being shot down. The one was shot through the right arm, the ball lodging in his right side. and a second shot delivered from close range in the temple, bis face being powder burned. The other man was shot once under the left eye Several A 4calibre center-fre Winches ter shells were found close to the bodies, also an old bone-handled knife which was recognized as belonging tc one of the murdered men. On ac count of the recent heavy rains all ! signs of any struggle were destroyed The pockets of the men had been rifed, and their pistols. belts, blanket, and saddles were missing however, il is not believed the motive for the deed was robbery, as it is a known fact thai but very little money. if any, was ir their possession"

GOOD LAW.
The Reasons Why Behan Gets His Salary as Prison SUpe in- tCTdeBt.

The decision of ihe Supreme Court in the case Of Behan against the pri srn commissioners, 10 compel them 10 issue a warrant for his salary while holding on to the office after bis sue cessor had been appointed, was an nouncei by Judge Kibhy, who said;
 "Tha' a. 8 general rule the right ;o the emolument of an office is incident to the title to the office. It has Ieen almost universally held by the courts of this country and Of England that person who, although he may actually perform the duties oi an offre, and have been possessed Of ali the insignia thereof, yet he cannot recover or com pei payment Of the emolumenis Of the office unless he shall also have been lawfully invested with the office itself. In nearly, if not quite all those cases, however, in which that doctrine is as serted, there was de jure officer, one who was legally entitled to the office
 "This doctrine depends upon the very obvious rule of public policy; that is, that no person shall assume an office or attempt to perform its du- ties until he shall have been legally appointed or elected thereto, and have qualified therefore as required by law f; that if he do SO he does so at his own risk and compensation tbers lore will be withheld and given 10 the one who has been elected or appointed and qualified. There may tse some excep- ton to this rule. They are, however, not necessary Co be considered in de- termining this case. In this cass Be- han was not legally appointed to Ihe office he claimed, although he was ap- pointed in pursuance of a Territorial law that had been conceded for 8 mum Der of years 10 be valid. The office itself existed hut Eo valid appoint ment lad been made theresa. There Was, in other words, during the period for which he now claims the salary, no per-or legally appointed thereto. The coIFt are of inc opinion ,Bst where a person iu good faith an6 pursuant 10 9 law witch. though i; is uDcDns,ilu-
 snnal sa far as he fuauper us the sp- pointmeHJ is concerned, bus is other Tise valid, and in pursuance ol ar ap- pointment ihereu der assumes that oi6ee and performs its duties and there being no person legally appointed thereto. is entitled to the emOIumeuts Of office.
