At Least Hc Has Never Returned TO His
Sorrowins Wife.
At the first celebration Of Labor Day
four years ago John Danhof. a tailor
living on Wiliams-st., got glorlously
drunk. He fell out of the ranks in the
proce ssion. but his soul went marching
on, likewise his body. The line OF his
march, like the course of empire, went
westward and John has never returned
to the wife and five children he left III
sorrow and destitution. Mrs. Danhof
told her pitiful story in the superior
court yesterday, and Judge Burlingame
granted her decree of divorce on the
ground of desertioD. The day after
Danhof left, the family was evlcted
from their home by the foreclosure of a
mortgage, and by the help of the city
and the church, with what she could
earn by needlework, mas the mother
maintained herself and the children.

THR REPUBLICAN does not desire that its silence should be understood as an approval of the appointment by the Governor of Democrats on the various boards. Men will differ and the great ness of our republic has been made possible by independence of action and thoughts, and by conceeding honesty of opinion and purpose to those who may differ with each other. This honesty of opinion and purpose we conceed to Governor Irwin. In our National Con- gress the party having the majority has always been held responsible for the session of Congress, and the results of the Congress nave always been credited for good or had, to the party having the majority. So will it be with the acts of any of our Territorial Boards. If they creditably fulfill their duties the Republicans will claim the credit, if they fail in their duty the Democrats will equally charge the failure on the Republicans,

A STRANGE story comes from New York, which shows that it is fiction alone winch is worthy of belief, and truth which is 80 wonderful as to awaken suspicion, Carl E. Ruthinger's dead body was found floating in East river, bound and gagged. William Wright committed suicide few days after in the Astor House. The latter had been charged with the murder of the former, and 1t was thought that remorse led him to take his own life. But the truth was even stranger than that Ruthinger's life was heavily insured for his mother in Germany. He com mitted suicide with the knowledge of Wright, who then bound aud gagged the body and threw it into the river. Wright then committed suicide him- self, in order that suspicion might still view him as the murderer of bis friend, and that the old lady in Germany might not be in danger of being deprived of the insurance money by any plea of the insurance company that her son had committed suicide. Tn bis widest dreams, wilkie Collins never imagined plot more strange and weird than that.

REFEREINo to the complaint of TIE REPrBLIcAS about poor mail facilities, Postmaster Copes says we were in error in saying that mail from the West laid over at Marieopa one day, not arriving in Phoenix until the second morning. The statement was based upon the facl that letters from Los Angeles had been four days In reaching Pheuix, and upon information furnished by people coming over from Maricopa. Postmaster Copes has done all that he could to expedite the service since the food, but all con- tracts being merely temporary make shifts till the railroad was reconstructed as good service could not be procured as could have been on long time con, tracts. As the railroad is pushing the work of bridge building over the Gila, it is expected the mail will be carried to Tempe by rail and thence tc Phoenix by special express in about twenty days. In the meantime the Postmaster crayes the indulgence of the public.

WORK on large levee across the low bank of the river and over the slough east of town, where the water broke over during the recent flood, will begin today under Porter MofIatt. The build ing of this levee is of the utmost inn portance to Phoenix, and is work in which every resident should be inter- ested. All the water that reached the city during the floods poured over the river bank at the place it is proposed to build the levee. Following this series of jetties will be built as further pro- lection, and by this means the river will be thrown over to the south, through it's old bed, and the city forever pro tected from any inundation. As the entire work is being done by private subscription, it is important every one subscribe something. If you cannot donate cash, groceries, provisions, hay or grain will be equally acceptable. Do what you can to help along the work.
