NEVADA AND ARIZONA.

A strong effort is being made to
 advance the cause of statehood in
 Arizona by citing what Nevada has done in the way of maintaining such
 form of government ou popula-
 tion of s6,00 people and a total tax
 roll of about thirty million dollars.
 The fact that for every dollar that
 Nevada owes Arizona owes four is carefully concealed. Yet, with this small indebtedness and with larger
 assessment roll than Arizona, Ne
 vada, during its existence as a state,
 has found it necessary to raise the enormous sum of two million dollars
 by direct tax upon the output of
 its mines. Every ounce of gold,
 every ounce of silver, every ounce of
 metal mined has and is to-day pay
 ing this tribute. Statehood made such tax necessary in Nevada and
 it will do the same in Arizona. Ne vada's decadence as a mining state can be traced in the annual collec- ton of this tax. From the first year of its imposition when it amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars it gradually declined into thousands
 because mines and mining capital could not afford to become inter ested in the development of a country
 where, in addition to paying tax on all their property similar to that paid by the merchant or farmer, they had to pay tax on what their labor and capital produced. It is for the miners of Arizona to say by their votes on the consti, ution whether such state of affairs shall be brought about in Axizona. If Nevada, with a larger tax roll than Arizona, and with a smaller indebtedness, was forced to impose such an additional burden on its miners will not Ari- zona be compelled to do the samei It is simply matter of computa- ton. So much additional will be re- gu red for government expenses. The stockman, the merchant, the rancher and the miner are to-day forced to strain every nerve to meet the present burden of taxation. What will they do when to the taxes now existing those of statehood are addedi Already the rate of taxation in Arizona is higher than in any other territory or state in the union. It is so high that capital is fright ened by it. With some of the rich est mineral country in the world money cannot be obtained to open our mines on account of it. Let a new tax of even mill be placed on the product of our mines and men will grow gray, bald and die in despair before Arizona will ever be- come the mining country that nature intended. To no section in the ter ritory would such a tax be so dis sstrous as to Yavapsi county, and the men who are now urging state hood should see it. Avote for state hood in Yavapai county means simply a vote for new and higher axes, and the sooner its citizens 'ea' ize the better.

A telegram from Montreal, Can ada, says: Antiquarian Snaith has obtained conclusive evidence that tae trunks found on the schooner ] Jrie Victoria, wrecked at Bic in te autumn of 1864, were the prop oryy of J. Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Lincoln. During that autumn several trunks marked "J. W. B., New Providence" were shipped on board the schooner Marie Victoria at Quebec. How they reached Quebec is unknown. It woIld appear that Booth, in antici- pation of the murder of Lincoln. mad secretly sent his theatrical ward -obs through Canada and had it { shipped from a Canadian port in ex- Pectation of finding it to hand in oae of the southern states when he had succeeded in the object which he had in view, and that the con- spiracy to assassinat President Lin coin was calculated a month before

Lancaster county. Pa. has

Lancaster county, Pa, has a pe- culiar custom. Settling Day" in that county falls upon April 1st, ard on that day thousands of country folks gather at Lancaster, the coun. V seat. Bargains are made, contrac $ are entered into, debts are paid aud new ones are contracted. If a man contracts debt at any time durioy the year, the understanding is. in the absence of specific agreement that payment shall be made on sci, ting day. A similar custom ore. vails in parts of China, and is main tained with tolerable consistency bv the Chinese colony here. The Lan- caster farmers, however, did not bor- row their practice from the Chinese. but from their German ancestors Ex.

THE MORAN MURDER TRIAL.

To the public generally who have
 not had the opportunity of listening
 to the evidence given on this. trial,
 it may not seem strange that the
 jury, after being out two days, should
 be unable to agree on a verdict, but
 persons who have carefully followed
 the progress of the trial and also are
 aware that the jury stood TEN TO TWO
 in favor of AcouITTAL can hardly look
 upon the matter except in the light
 of something truly inexplicable.
 It is true, of course, that three or
 four witnesses attempted to convince
 the jury by their testimony that the
 accused, in their opinion, was insane at the time of the commission of the
 homicide, but even one of those went so far as to state that the reason he believed in such insanity was be- cause the accused had too much brains" On the other hand, some five witnesses, equally as well ac quainted with Moran, believed he
 was perfectly sane at the time. As to the expert testimony, Dr. Miller stood unsupported and alone in the belief of insanity; the other experts who appeared at the instance of the accused, Drs. Pope, Maus and Me Candless, all said that the acts get forth in the hypothetical question submitted to them, could have been those of sane man, qualified by the known fact, that they were attribut- able to the drinking proclivities pos sessed by the prisoner, and the epi- leptiform fits, from which he occa- sionally suffered, were caused also by over-indulgence in alcoholic stimu-. lants.
 Nothing has been, or in our opin- ion, ever will be gained by pro- pounding hypothetical questions to experts in courts of justice; each side will have its own question, and we have yet to be informed of an instance where either side has been unable to secure all the expert testi- mony desired, BASED ON ITS OWN SUP rosrcIous QUESTION. it being simply childs piay to torture and twist the evidence into the shape desired to secure any necessary opinion of the expert.
 The integrity and honesty of pur- pose of the jury in this case, we do not for moment question; that they | did what. they believed was right and just, we do not doubt for a single but that ten good and law ful citizens of Yavapai county could listen to the evidence given on the rial and then, on the flimsy plea i ,dduced, say, by their unfaltering ( md unchangable votes, that Thomas t ,. Moran should be acquitted, and % again allowed to roam at large in !, his community and afforded an opp I to further pursue the { impulses, which it was dearly shown were possessed by him when under the influence of liquor, /, s to us 6 condition of affairs which ve leave to the public for explana- a ion, acknowledging with frankness l hat it is beyond our kin.

Tbe drouth in Arizona is nothing sonlpared to what it has been in the
 tt to judge from the following aken from the Golden, Illinois, Sentinel: "The drouth broke with 2 copious rain Sunday night. The ilarched earth and empty cisterns
 ad wells will rejoice. 1t must be a ,5,7cat relief to the Anna people. The orouth there is said to have been
 errible. We were down there the Q, her day and were informed that l. @ people had to put their hogs to oak over night so that they wouldn't leak swill the next day. This may seem incredible, but we had it on .sood authority, not from the news paper men down there, but from re- pectable aud truthful men. It must lave been terrible"

The Phenix Republican in a rathe

The Phenix Republican in a rather exultant way says that the order for the abandonment of Fort Whipple has been received from the war de- partment. The contrary is true. That is that an official order was re- gently received saying that Whipple would not be abandoned for the present. What Secretary Proctor's successor may do is not known but the present secretary has said that he would do nothing in the matter of abandonment during his term of office
