The democratic majority in the legis- lature has passed an apportionment bill for this territory. It is asclean cut piece of gerrymanderlng as has ever been practiced by the party outside of Ohio, and should bring the blush of shame to to every man who voted for it and every honest man in the democratic party besides. One man alone of all the democratic members had the courage to vote against this political outrage and that was ]. W. Dough erty, of Yavapai county. The territory is divided into four districts, each to elect three members of the council, as follows: I, Maricopa. Mohave and Yuma; 2, Yayapai, Coconino and Apa- che; 5, Graham Pinal and Gila; 4, Pima and Cochise. With the exception of the last division each county shall have a single councilman. The assembly is as follows. Maricopa, 4; Mohave, I; Yuma, T; Yavapai, 5; Coconino, I; Apache, 2; Graham, 2; Pinal, I; Gila, 2; Pima, 4; Cochise, 3. From the above 1t will be seen that the counties of Yuma and Mohave, both of which are pretty closely divided politically, shallbe conrolled.politically by Maricopa county, andso on through the entire gerrymander
 ed list of ofdistrict, wherever Q county is found that there might be any possible
 show of republicans electing member, county with a big democratic majority
 is tackled on to it. The democratic majority seemed to have only a single
 aim in view in passing this apportion- ment bill and that was partisan suprem- acy. They seemed to have overlooked entirely the question of justice in the matter. There is no justice or reason in such bill that permits the citizens of one county to say to those of an adjoin- ing county who shall or who shall not represent them in territorial legislatures.

Senator Vest, in an interview in the St.

Senator Vest, in an interview in the St.
 Louis Republic, recently. gave vent to
 his feelings toward Grover Cleveland in
 relation to the latter's views on the silver
 question as expressed in his letter to
 Mir. Anderson. Among other things
 the senator from Missouri said: "I
 hoped that he would finally conclude to content himself with an expression of
 his personal views without assailing ag- gresslvely the motives of democrats who differed with him and without defying the overwhelming sentiment of bis party ID the west and south. Mir. Cleveland is doubtless honest in bis views, and so are we. He has the unquestionable right to take his position with the gold interests of New York, but he has no right to expect that those of us who differ with him will approve his unnec- essary and wanton attack upou what we believe to be right. have no doubt but that the next president of the United
 States will be a democrat, aud l had hoped that Mir. Cleveland would be our nominee, but if member of the next national convention, Iwould insist upon plank in our platform for the free coinage of silver, and that no man should be nominated who did not ac- cept that declaration in good faith as the policy of our party. MT. Cleveland made a good president, and I have been his friend, but no man is greater than the democratic party. Jefferson, Madison and Jackson were greater men than Mir. but the party survived them, and will survive him. When a man tbe opinions, on public ques- ions, ot the democratic party it never 1 3eserts him, hut when he does not rep escnt oar opinions he ceases to be eader.

The Mohave County Miner va!

The Mohave County Miner wants Co
 be transformed to California. Here is it's scheme: "We think il IS about time for Congressman Vandever to drop hl s
 cheme for the annexation of Southern Callfornis and formulate some plan
 whereby California may be divided and a new state formed of the southern portion embracing within its limits the counties San Louis Obispo, Kern, Santa Barbara, Venture. Lbs Angeles. Orange, San Bernardino and San Diego, and Mohaye and Yuma counties, Arizona. This would give the southern portion as large an area and equally as rich territory as that embraced in the older portion of the state. The other nine counties of Arizona should be united with the west ern counties of New Mexico with the necessary population to entltle them to statehood. This arrangement would be ofgreat benefit to both Yuma and Mo
 have, as at present the very name Arl- zons seems to be obnoxious to the re- fined sensibilities of capitalists. East ern mining investors would more easily part with their money for our mines did they know they were situated in Moha,e county, California, as the name Califor- nia, to them, has for years been as- sociated in their minds with the fabulous production of gold and silver. Our min- eral resources are ilimuable and our an- nexation to California would give us the additional prestige of belonging to state tnown the world over for it's pro- duction of the precious metals

NO MENTION OF CAPTAINS.

The Police eCommissioners UuabIe 10
 Break the Deadlock-Three Super.
 numeraries Detailed to Active Duty
 Sergeant Cook Displeased.
 No mention of captains was made at last nights meeting of the police commission CTS and it is evident that the deadlock be- tween the republican and democratic sides of the board upon this question is still un- broken.
 Threefle supernumeraries were detail ed for active duty. They are Thomas Fender, Michael J. Caffey and Charles A. Hooper. The last is colored man and was supported by Rev. A. H. Miller, Cap tain Wilkinson and other prominent color ed men. Supernumeraries Klaiber and Keenan have been detailed for service in Westville.
 Sergeant Cook appeared before the board with grievance. He has ranked at the top of the department in all the civil service examinations and has done patrol duty for sixteen years and roundsman's duty for four years without asking for a day off. He considered he had not been treated fairly in the new detail of ser geants. Sergeants Bradley and Mcbride have been given office duty while Sergeant Cook has been detailed with Sergeant Crorker for street duty at the central sta ton. He rotates with Sergeant Crocker, and each in turn nave an hour or two each day at desk work.
 A difference of opinion prevailed among the commissioners over the case. Com missioner Clancy thought it had been the idea when the details were made for all of the sergeants to rotate in turn, but the commissioners did not look at the matter in this light. It was finally referred to the committee on efficiency of the force to in vestigate and report.
 Dr. B. H. Cheney appeared to second the efforts of the ladies who are striving for the appointment of matron at the | central station. These ladies understand | that the board of finance, in their annual | appropriations, provided for the appoint ment of a matron, but they seem to have | a candidate of their own whom they wish the police commissioners to appoint to this place. The matter was referred to | Commissioners Platt and Dillon to con slider with the ladies and report to the | board.

Entertainments. HYPERION THKATER.

Elsie Leslie and company in "The Prince and the Pauper" attracted another large audience last evening. It is like "Little Lord Fauntleroy," only different. It is just as good story though hardly SO good play. Both pieces owe their popu- larity to the natural grace and extraordi- nary talent of "Little Elsie" The only pity is that her only rival, Tommy Rus sell, has outgrown such roles. Both these child artists are worthy to be classed among the leading actors of the day
 Primrose & Vests minstrels come to- morrow night. With them is the popular Lew Dockstader. The production is fine one. The grand crystal first part intro duces many celebrated comedians, vocal ists and their unequaled orchestra of solo musicians. The specislties have been se- cured from both this country and Europe, the costumes are most gorgeous and the scenic effects rival the most elaborate pro- auctions in spectacular. Everything throughout the entire performance is said to be bright and refined.

Calling in Government Deposits.

WASHINGTON, D. O., March 10.-Acting Secretary of the Treasury Nettleton made the following statement this afternoon in regard to report that the department has decided to call in the government deposits in national banks: The government has no immediate need to use any part of the funds now in depositary banks. Doubt less during the next eight months part of such deposits will be required, but they will in such case be called in in install ments, and only in reasonable notice as heretofore. Inasmuch as these deposits, when 80 called, will doubtless be disturbed to meet current requirements of the gov ernment, the funds so used will be almost immediately returned to the channels of business
