It's amusing; it's insulting, and
it's un-American.
It's amusing for the free and in
dependent voters Of Kansas to see a
pitiful plea like the above coming
from the czars of an $4,000 MAORI
ty party of the past, now in hole.
It's amusing because it virtually
admits that it is now on the road,
as party tramp, begging for boo
die to keep them out of a political
aims house, as it were. Yes, it's
amusing to see them buttonhole the
brethren who are holding remunera-
tive positions, and ask them to rem
der unto the czars literally, as the
czars have prospered them in the
past. Again it is amusing to mag
inc that we see Foghorn, of Deer
Creek, and the whole Kansas herd
of first and fourth grade postmasters,
the state officers and the herd of
county officers, all handing in their
tithes of Doodle to Sam Howe, the
boodle-bag holder. Then the un-
civilized work of organizing blocks
of five will commence in Kansas
under the management and direc-
lions of the Boss Quay and Clark
son outfit. This blocks-offve bust
ness will be for the purpose OF
defeating the aims and objects OF
the toiling masses in Kansas in Sc
curing just and righteous legisla-
ton, who are termed by those czars
as being "enemies of the state, and
a dishonest, traitorous element, etc"
Now we undertake to say that
the language expressed in that beg
ging appeal is nothing more nor
less than bare-faced insult thrust at
every man who voted the Peoples
party ticket in Kansas last Novem-
Der, many of whom defended the
territory of Kansas in the days of
border-ruffianism, and faithfully
served their country in the late war,
but now because they are exercising
their God-given rights, they are
branded as being enemies of the
state, dishonest, and traitors, by a
political ring, or in other words, a
self-constituted ring of czars ; which
we say is un-American-that no
political party, or ring in party,
has a right to force or compel men
or the people to surrender to such
gag rule as it's leaders and czars
adopt, hence we say it is high time
for the American people to teach
the old party cars that the people
are the government, and that polit-

BUcHAN, in his letter to the faith

calls the Alliance o dishonest and

They now propose to have redress.

The Skeleton Mystery.

Nothing has been done toward the solving of the mystery of the finding of the bones near Williams Spring last Sunday. Many theories are advanced only to be exploded by others. The report that the bodies were those of the woman and man who ran out of Sonora with 83000 about foury years ago and kill ed their pursuer named Martin, twas exploded by the assertion by sever al parties that the man and woman are now living in Utah.
 There was party, man and a woman, who left Trombone about five years ago and who were never heard of afterward and never reach ed their destination. It is thought probable that the party may have camped at the spring and being sur prised by Indians took to the hills and were killed on the spot where these bones were found.-Tomb- stone Prospector.

Buried Treasure.

Columbia, s. C., June 10.-Great excitement prevails among the peo- pie of Kershaw over the finding of $163.0OO in gold and other valuable treasure, buried in that neighbor- hood twenty-seven years ago. When Sherman's army was passing through South Carolina, the officials of the Camden Bank collected the money and jewelry and took it to Hanging Rock Creek, Kershaw County. to bury it. They were cap tured by Sherman's men and forced to give up their treasures. The soldiers in turn appointed one of their number, named Rhodes, to bury it. Among the treasure was a gold pitcher presented by the ladies of Charleston to Calhoun. On his death bed few days after ward Rhodes said he had buried

HyRpOlite Murdered.

New York, June 17.-Atlas line of passenger steamer Alvo, which arrived from Haytan ports this morning, brought news of continued outbreaks and wholesale slaughter of political prisoners in all parts of the island. The Alyo also brought the news of rumored shooting of President Hyppolite. This rumor was being freely circulated in Jac- mel and outlying towns about Port au-Prince when the Alvo left the former port on June 6. The rumor could not be confirmed by the people on the AlYo before she left Jacmel, but it was discredited. The populace of Jacmel was in a fever of excitement over what they termed an outrageous murder, which occurred the day before.
 When the news oi the slaughter at Port-au-P Prince reached Jacmel, many citizens violently denounced Hyppolite's deed. Six of them were arrested, and word sent to Hyppo- lite. A squad of soldiers came back the next morning, took out the six unfortunates and shot them to death in the public square in the presence of their friends and rela- tives. After leaving Jacmel the Alvo touched at Novassa island ,and there again heard the rumor of Hyppolite's assassination.

upon a regular lecture. With hands in his trousers pockets he strode up and down the room with the air of an irate schoolmaster.
 President Harrison said he had been very much harasged and em- barrassed of late by the complica- tions of Cabinet officers and other officials. He did not directly refer to Wanamaker's connection with the Philadelphia banks or to Secre- tary Noble, or to Raum, but an- nounced Tn very positive terms that henceforth he would exercise closer supervision over all the depart mentS.
 Hence the report of the retire ment of Postmaster General Wana- maker, growing out of Keystone Bank affairs in Philadelphia, is re- vived.
 A long conference at the White House was held after the Cabinet meeting to-day between the Presi- dent and MT. Wanamaker. Sub sequently theSecretary of theTreas- ury and Controller of Currency, who are charged with the responsi- bility of banking affairs, were in consultation at the department on the same subject. In official cir cles nothing else is discussed.

Trouble Brewing.

Cattlemen in this vicinity are get ting very much worked up over the condition of things regarding es- trays in Mexico. For 15 months they have not been allowed to cross the line to bring back their stray cattle and although frequent ap- peals have been made to the author ities at Washington not move has been made for their relief. In many instances stray stock has been con fiscated and sold and there is not a day that American cattle are not butchered on the Mexican side, Why such a condition exists cattle men are at 8 loss to know. At Sa- sabe and other points along the border American herdsmen are per mitted to cross over and bring back stray stock, but not here. Mexicans are also permitted to come to this side and get their stray stock. Un- less the government does some thing soon there is liable to be trou- ble.-Nogales Herald.

\ Boy Murdered By Relatives.

Crawfordville; Ind, June 13.- Great excitement prevails in the lit tie village of Bringhurst, north of Charlottesville. Last Tuesday 12- year-old William Firman was found hanging from rafter in his step mothers barn, stone dead. His step-mother gave out that he had committed suicide on account of having been corrected for some mis- chief, but the neighbors refused to accept this explanation. They bold ly assert that the boys death re- suited from foul play, and demand that the Coroner returned verdict of murder. The lad was worth $25,- 900 in his own right, and the theory is universally entertained that mur- der was adopted as the method of some designing relatives to gain possession of the fortune, as the lad was an only achild. The lads happy refutes the idea ot sui eide.

More DeVilment.

Victoriano, the companion of Geronimo now in the county jail says that he and Geronimo robbed the Bisbee stage and even goes so far as to describe the men and wo- man who were on the stage. He tells how much they got and the conversation with Engle. After this robbery they went down to Mo- gales and from there came up on their way to Mammoth and stood up a Chinaman and robbed him. They were to meet another party of Mexicans near Mammoth and all together they were to rob store near there. The other party was coming from Globe and are sup posed to be waiting somewhere around there for the Geronimo par ty. All of this fellows stories tal- ly so closely with the fact that there is no doubt of the truth of what he says,-Prospector,

A RECENT dispatch from Rome says Signor Corte, late Italian Con- sul at New Orleans, in his report on the lynching there, says that the victims belonged to no particular society, but were murdered simply because they were Italians and com petitors in the labor market; fur thermore, that after the lynching he and his secretary barricaded them selves in the consulate, and the lynchers were only prevented from attacking the consulate by the in- tervention of influential citizens.

Their Pedigree.

The general public are unac- quainted with the judges recently appointed upon the land court to settle the title to immense tracts of land in the far west and in which we are deeply interested in southern Arizona. The obe-Democrat fur nishes some information upon the public lives of the men comprising the court which will be of interest at this time.

that fully one-half the voters in Apache county are not capable of going to the polls on the day of election and casting an intelligent ballot. Its reasons for entertaining the aforesaid opinion, are many. We will mention one or two. Not long since there was a'school teach CT from the western portion of the county visiting St. Johns, who
 frankly admitted that he did not
 know who were candidates for dele gates to the constitutional conven-
 tion that he went to the polls and
 through his lack of knowledge of current events voted for a man
 whom he did not care to support, and cast a ballot against one who had been his best friend for num-
 Der of years, and against whom he would not have voted for $50, had he known that he was a candidate. Was he capable, at the time, of casting an intelligent ballot?
 Something over a year ago the Phoenix Herald had a correspon- dent from this county who claims to be an intelligent and enterprise ing man, and who poses as one of the leading lights in his immediate locality-takes prominent part in every election that comes off-has aspired, in times past, to legislative honors. In one of his communica- tions to the Herald, he made the bald statement that $59,O0O had been expended in one year to run the government of Apache county, notwithstanding the official state ment made to the Board of Super vlsors had been published only short time before, showing that the total cost of the county govern ment for the year named had been but trife over $26,OOO. When the aforesaid intelligent gentleman was confronted with the actual figures showing that he had published to the world a grossly erroneous state ment and one calculated to do in- calculable injury to our credit abroad, excused himself on the plea he had been told by another party that the officials had spent S59,000 with nothing to show for it. Is such ignorance of the affairs of one's own county excusable? Are men who are no better informed than the two we have alluded to capable of casting an intelligent ballot in m election for county officers? Can it be said, with any degree of truthfulness, that they are good citi- zens? Can one be called good citizen, who neglects to inform him. self on public matters in which he is directly interested? Is not every taxpayer interested in seeing the county government honestly and economically administered? If yes, can any who exhibits such gross ig- norance lay any claim to being an intelligent voter? Does he not go to the polls and cast his ballot through prejudice, or on the say so of some friend or acquaintance? These are questions which every citizen of Apache county should put to himself, and If he cannot an swer them to his own satisfaction, he should at once take the necessary steps to thoroughly post himself, and to keep himself well informed, that he may be able to exercise the elective franchise in an intelligent manner at the next and all subse- quent elections.
