 JouRNAL-MINER has nearly bankrupt ed itself by the use of postage stamps in trying to collect a Slo-ac- count against the institution for job work. If there is patriotic citizen in Phenix who desires to invest in such securities We would like to have them communicate with this office. Liberal discount will be al lowed to cash buyer.
 Readers of our contempory were inflicted with another of A. C. R.'s communications this morning. Mir. R.'s periodical out breaks are char acterized principally by misrepresen- tations of, or slurs on republican officials. Stripped of misrepresen- tation in reference to Governor IT, wins visit east, and uncalled for
 slurs on Governor Irwin, Secretary
 Murphy and Collector Geo. Christ,
 his latest communication is devoid
 of any point, argument or informa-
 tion.
 The last issue of the St. Johns
 Herald contains two columns and a
 half of the slushiest sort of stuffs in terspersed with vulgsrity, about the
 recent term of court in Prescott.
 Any one who reads 1t cannot fail to
 be impressed with the imprint of
 blackguard that pervades the entire
 two articles. Honest, respectable and decent criticism of courts and
 court officials cannot be objected to, but when writer, as in this in-
 stance, descends to the use of the
 vilest and most vulgar language, he
 iniures no one but himself in such a
 tirade.
 The Wilcox Stockman kicks be- cause the cattle of that county were valued at lower rate by the Terri torial Board of Equalization than the cattle in any other county in the territory, and remarks that the as sessed valuation of Cochise county would have been a million more had the cattle of that county been as
 sessed as were the cattle of other counties. The cattlemen of this county are kicking because the as sessment on their stock has been raised. So that people will kick, YOU know. no matter what you do.
 It should be borne in mind by all interested, or intending to be inter- ested in the construction of any new railroad. that the law exempting from taxation requires that they shall file with the Secretary of the Territory on or before September l6. their intentions, setting forth their initial and terminal points and the proposed length thereof: and actual construction must begin within six months from filing such notice of intention. This is, or may be, very important to be remember ed. September Is this very year Phenix Republican.
 The recent article in the JOURNAL MINER calling attention to the fact that no appropriation or other pro vision had been made for the pay ment of members of the constitu- tional convention, which will meet in Phenix next month. has resulted m our territorial exchanges looking over the law. and with the exception of the Phenix papers all agree that we stated the case correctly. Papers which doubt the correctness of the statement will probably discover their error when the proper officers are called on to issue the warrants for such service.
 The only person dissatisfied with the appointment of pr. Miller as of the insane asylum is pr. Hughes, of the Phenix Gag cite. The doctor thinks that his democratic friend, Dr. Titus, should have been given the position. The doctor closes his editorial on the subject by saying that "the demo cracy should reserve all of its gifts to the exclusive use of democrats in order to mitigate the severity of the republicans craftsmanship" just as though the democratic party had not been run on that principle ever since the father of democracy enunciated the political doctrine that ito the victors belong the spells"
 w. T. McAllister, treasurer of the Louisiana State Alliance, has been impeached. As a result of the i'm peachment McAllister assaulted Dr. c. W. Macune, editor of the Nation al organ of the alliance. McAllister charges Macune with being largely for his trouble and fur ther that Macune sold to Pat Cal houn last year in Georgia the Sena- torial contest for 5000 and that he robbed the Texas Alliance of S30.- 0o0 or more while manager of the Texas Alliance Exchange. Behold how pleasant thing it is for bood- lers of the new and honest(i) party to quarrel among themselves.
 The thorough and economic ad- of the prison affairs at Yuma by Superintendent McInernay under the direction of the present sound republican administration is matter that the people who pay the taxes in Arizona will not overlook. Superintendent McInernay, backed |
