Any one who carries politics into a jury room, is totally unqualified to act as a juror. We learn from street rumor, that a certain over-zealous. narrow minded, pig-headed Republican drew up set of resolutions condemnIng the HERALD for publishing the facts about the wholesale branding of calves which took place last winter, this too, after there had been sufficient evidence in- troduced before the grand jury to con vince any honest, candid, fair-minded
 man that the statements of the HERALD were, if anything, underdrawn. It is not the first time either, that this same individual has been guilty of attempt ing to convert jury room into politi- cal meeting. On a former occasion, when the evidence of guilt was so clear, that the presiding officer was forced to say, when the jury brought in verdict of not guilty. "Gentlemen, the evidence does not warrant such a verdict this gentleman (?) made speech, in which he claimed tine prosecution was political persecution. We would advIse those

Mir. Steve Nixon, of the Gebhart Cat tie Company, arrived in Solomonville on Saturday last with one Joseph Cud, who was brought by him from Tempe. Cud was arrested several weeks ago on charge of unlawfully branding cattle in the vicinity of Duncan, and on an ex- animation before Justice J. B. Haynie was bound over in the sum of 5000 to await the action of the grand jury. He gave the bond, but it is said to be worth less. also one of the bondsmen has since died, In the meantime Cud left and went to Tempe where he was at work. Another warrant was secured for him on another charge and Mr. Nixon went to Tempe accompanied by Mir. Elliot and made the arrest. On arriving here he was taken before Commissioner Blake who made an order requiring him to give a new bond in the sum of 5000 on the first case for which he was arrested, and in default of which he was lodged in jail. There will probably be more cases against him when the grand jury meets, and it is believed that he IS also wanted in New Mexico for similar of fense e-Bulletin.
 This man Cud made one grand mis- take He should have come to Apache county to ply his vocation, then there would have been very little danger of an indictment. The more industrious and the more cattle he branded, the less danger there would be of an indictment. Apache is fast gaining its old-time repu- tation as haven of refuge for rustlers and criminals of whatever degree.

The Journal Miner puts it thus: There are many people who believe, or affect to believe, that there is no place of pun ishment in the hereafter. Even these skeptics, however, concede that the man who refuses to pay for his newspaper will have the flight feathers of his angel wings scorched off Of all the mean things charged against old Satan the sin of taking a newspaper and then'refusing 10 pay for it was never laid at his door.

Almost Five Months Spent in the Explor-

Special to the JERSEY Cifg Nelcs
PRINCETON, Feb %, 1s91.-Prof. Libbey
has returned to Princeton after spending
four and one-half months in Mexico. in
the interests of the Mexican Exploration
party. The main object Of the expedi-
tion to Mexico was to seek for traces of
the Aztees, and II possible, to find proof
of their connection with the tribes Of
New Mexico and Arizona.
When they had been out about one
week, Prof. Libbey, in company with
several companions, struck through a
wild region that had never been pene-
trated, ard In three weeks covered up
ward of three hundred miles through the
valleys leading to the Soussu River. Dur
ing his stay he covered over 200 miles on
horseback. A large collection was made,
consisting of botanical specimens and
minerals. Prof. Libbey brought back
over 300 Photographic negatives, and he
will receive about $50 more. A large
number of them show the domestic life
OF the inhabitants, the interior and ex-
terror views of their homes, and are valu-
able and interesting. Some of them are
views of the villages which they found.
The expedition, when he left. had
reached the eastern slope OF the noun
tains near Casos Grandes, where they ex-
pect to find valuable relics.

the "state Gazette" for Foolish and
Dishonest Criticism.
From the True ABlericdn Of this Morning
An immense amount of ignorance is be-
ing squandered in the discussion of the
JERSEY CRY NEWS, declaring that it pro-
poses 1.-The taxation of capital over and
over again" The truth is that not half
the capital now invested In New Jersey
pays any tax at all. and the proposition TO
compel 1t to bear some fair share of the
den of government is at the bottom of
most Of these piercing outcries.-Stdte
Gazette.
We ask in all candor was there ever any
more patent exhibit of narrow reasoning
and foolish assertion than is contained in
the above paragraph Has any person or
any newspaper squandered a greater
amount OF ignorance in less space than is
here thrown out?
Everybody except the Gazette admits
in taxing the same property In two and
even three hands, thus making double
and treble taxation. Everybody knows
that the property thus doubly and trebly
taxed in that which stands upon the sur
face OF our business affairs, and has al
ways borne at least its share of taxation.
Every ybody knows that a vast amount
of personal property has escaped taxa
tion. and everybody wants to see that
property brought into our tax lists.
But everybody, save the Gazette, can
see that the property which now pays all
the tax is not to be relieved by q system
which makes it pay double and treble, in
order to make the property which has
hitherto escaped, pay only once.
II the Gazette had to draw a tax law, it
would be strange compound of inco-
herent shrieks against tax shirks, and
impossible provisions against legitima te

WILL ALBEIT ExTRADITE HIM2
A Fraud With a Preachers Gard Who
Is Badly Wanted in Connecticut.


Special to the jersey Ctr Nelcs.
ELIZABETH, Feb. 2s, 1s91.-A tall clerical
looking negro who gave his name as Rev.
James NJ. Rohmer, was arrested here yes
terday on the belief that he IS swindler
who went by the name of DR.. Charles
Lewis, nd is wanted by the New Haven
authoriti es for fleeing family out Of
s193 in that city. Superintendent Boil
man of the New Haven police, sent out
description of the swindler. February 20.
and Chief Tenny got one. The prisoners
appearance tallies exactly with the de-
scription sent by Superintendent Boil
man.
When arrested Rohmer showed a Bap-
tist minister's certificate of ordination.
and afterwards asked to be allowed to go
out. when he tore up the certificate, and
also four bogus checks for 1,00O each,
payable on the Boston National Bank.
The checks were dated Kingston, ia
maica, and were evidently used by him
to defraud people. He gave one of these
worthless checks to the party in New
Haven, who advanced him the money. He
also operated, it is said, in other cities of
Connecticut. He had book with him en-
titled "The Art Of Writing Love Letters" !"
When taken into custody. he said ne was
going to see the Rev. Mr.. Green of this
city. The latter was sent for aud de-
clared he had never seen the prisoner be-
fore and had not the slightest doubt as to
his being an impostor. The New Haven
superintendent of Police was Dotified of
the arrest. A question now arises
whether Rohmer can be got back to Con-
necticut, as it is firmly believed that Gov
ernor Albeit will do precisely as Cover
nor Hill did and refuse to recognize any
reduisition for the prisoner that may be
issued.
