The Navajo Indians in Coconino herd their thousands of sheep upon the public domain. and don't pay cent in taxes. We believe if they get white mems privileges they ought to pay for them. The law should be made so as to compel them to stay on their reservation, or, if they prefer turning their bands loose on public lands, let them be taxed.-Flagstaff Demo- crat.

During the removal of theremains of the soldiers at Fort Lowell, a few days ago, evidences were plain that one James Deviney, member of B Troop, 4 Cavalry. assigned to stable duty, and who died there some four years ago, was buried alive.
 When the coffin was uncovered the head of the body was turned over to the left and the right arm lying straight down by the side. Its left arm was thrown over the left thigh and the lower limbs were crossing each other. From the ap- pearance and position of the lower jaw, and portions of the face which were yet intact, 1t is evident that the body came to life again after burial, and that he subsequently, died in great agony-Citizen.

Sheriff Thompson, W. H. Beard and the Indian trailers returned from the Tonto country Wednesday having abandoned the hunt for John See, the wife murderer. See was traced to his fathers place on Tonto, and from there a trail, sup posed to be that of John and Bob See, was followed down and across Tonto creek and into the Four Peaks country. Rain, however, obliterated the trail before the Indian trailers arrived on the ground, and it was useless to proceed farther into such rugged country.-Globe Silver Belt

Out in Texas, aside from the straight Democratic party, which is in the majority, there is the so-call- ed Alliance Democrats" and the Alliance proper, the Republican party, and the "lily-white" Repub- lican party, and the independent negro Republican, besides factions of each and factions of factions.

The company will oper- ate in Arizona, with their headquar- ters at Flagstaff, and they will be- gin operations within the next month, and the concern will in all probability be the largest wool and meat producers in the Territory. Boston capital is interested in the company, and J. H. Esteb will look after the interest of the concern in Arizona.-Coconino Sun.

What the Word "TarIfr" Means.

In any discussion of the tariff question, the origin of the word comes first. It is derived from a small town lying about twenty miles southwest of the British fortress of Gibraltar in Spain. During the supremacy of the Moors, a certain schedule of rates was adopted at this small seaport for all ships trad ing in theMediterraneanSea At the commencement of the present cen tury the Moorish pirates who infest- ed the Barbary coast preyed upon the commerce of the natives of Eu- rope, extorting a tariff which was limited only by the capacity of their frail feluccas. It is difficult to per ceive any difference between the Moorish pirates who acted in defi- ance of international law and those in our country who ignore all prin- ciples of right and justice and rob us contrary to the law of the land. The tariff is tax which is levied at the port of entry on nearly 5000 articles which enter more or less in- to general consumption. When this tax is levied so that it goes into the United States Treasury it is called tariff for revenue ;when it is levied for the purpose of prohibiting a cer- tain class of goods, or allowing our own citizens to make an imitation and charge us more than the foreign commodity costs, it is called a pro- tective tariff. Its real name isrob- bery.
 Although it is called policy for the protection of so-caIled infant industries, it really is now and has been for years nurturing giants in- stead of being for the benefit of American labor its tendency Is to take the most unjust advantages it can of labor.
 Although for purposes of clap trap it is called an American policy 1t was in successful operation in Europe before the revolt of the Col onies; from its incipiency it has pandered to corporate wealth at the expense of agricultural industry :; during the last thirty years our merchant marine has been swept from the seas as the though struck by cyclone; to crown all it has discriminated in the most outrage ous manner against farmers by weighting them with high tarifftaxes until at least threeffths of the en- tire number are hopelessly in debt." -J. J. Thompson.

Mir.

He did not even call and pay his respects to the distinguished wis., itOrs.-Advertisers,

The Yuma Times wants the Bo- nanza mine assessment, as turned in by the owners, raised from $25,- 900 to $100.00O. It says that quarter of a million dollars has been spent on the mine and $S0,000 per month is being taken out of it. It adds that the fact is that wealthy men of that county escape taxation in way which shows but too plainly that the political pull" is exercised with a good deal of force in the matter of assessments.

as much safety to mel" 1t is diff
 cult to give a good reason. But if
 you were to offer constitutional ob- l jections, he would reply: "Then
 amend the constitution if the wei
 fare of the people demands it." No jurist or political economist would
 maintain that our present system
 of laws is perfect It has been a growth, a historic development. Each defined principle at its initia- tion was an experiment, and either has been or is how being tested. The growth in every department has not been uniform. Barbaric and despotic features still finger in our laws, and grow by the side of principles that have already reach ed the full flower of equity and jus tice. And what is remarkable, leg acies of wrong and oppression in some department of Governmental administration nave a life and strength here that in the mother country, from which they descend ed to us, have long go been over thrown and discarded. Along some lines of human freedom even des- potic Europe has left free America to lag behind.
 There are features of our social and political life that should fill us with alarm the increasing concen- tration of power in the hands of individuals through iniquitious leg islation, that makes 1t possible for them, by combination, to bring pros perity or ruin to whole sections of country ordepartments of industry, to build up or destroy fortunes in an hour; that, in short, renders them stronger than the Govern ment, stronger than the people the aggregation of great wealth in the hands of few, whilo the toil- Ing masses grow poorer and more debt ridden and with all this an on coming storm of indignation, on the part of the oppressed producers of wealth, that may, if the inevita- ble struggle be bitter, sweep in fury to the winds the accumulated glo- ries of a century of National life. It would seem that the only method by which to reach the cause of trouble and to pluck it up by the roots, is for the State to take back the rights and privileges it has wrongfully delegated to individuals and to assume, of it's own rightful power, the discharge of all It's du- ties to the citizen. Such a course, without violating any of the ina lienable rights of the individual, which have cost so much blood and treasure to obtain, would put an end to private monopolies, prevent the aggregation of wealth in the hands of the few, and emancipate the toiling masses from wage slave ry.-A. c.

Party Policies.

The articulate demand of tht
 hour Is for the reformation and re-
 duction of the existing tariff so that
 unnecessary taxes shall cease, and necessary taxes shall flow directly into the public Treasury and not in directly into the private coffers of favored classes the establishment of a system of freer exchange of our agricultural and other natural products for the raw materials pro- duced in foreign countries, whereby our manufacturers will find their way open to expanded markets in which they may profitably compete, our shipping interests will be re- vived, and our mercantile marine enabled to regain it's former su- premacy; and the power of the monopolies and trusts" will be curbed and not, as at present, assist ed. It is paramount duty of the National Democracy to hold these great and patriotic objects high above all possible obscuration by machine methods or personal in- trigue, and as an essential basis for all this quickened commerce, for eign and domestic, manufactures and merchant marine, we must agree upen and unequivocally proclaim the maintenance of a sound and stable standard and measure of value in the unit of money upon which the whole uperstructure of credit and payments can be secure ly conducted.
 For ali this the people of the United States now stand prepared and joyfully expectant, and, with the confidence derived from four years of Democratic administration from 1885 to 18S9-are ready to renew i: unless deterred by want of frank explicitness in the party de- claration at Chicago, or doubts as to sincerity and real purposes of the nominees. The policies of the Re- publican party, on the other hand, have not changed, but are plainly intensified. The triumphs of the Mckinley bill are still loudly vaunt- ed by it's beneiciaries, and although already stamped with popular dis approval, are not abandoned or even modified the principles of taxation on which it is constructed are in tended to be still more forcibly ex- ercised, New taxes for protection, with revenue as an incident only, or prohibitory system upon inn portations provocative of retalia- tion, and nothing less than com mercial warfare upon friendly na- tions-these are brazenly upheld and advocated; the purchases of silver bullion by the Government are to be continued despite the dan, gers, alarminglY apparent, of their dislocating the gold pivot in the Treasury upon which alone the in terconvertibillty of our various forms of currency is made pos sible. The triple alliance between the Treasury, the associate posses sors of the National taxing powers, and the Force bill, which is one of the adjuncts of the system, however varying in form or expression, has found the same manifest intent and meaning in every State convention up to the present time. Thus the Mckinley tariff, the Force bill, and the free silver coinage are three branches of the same stock, parts of the same plan of campaign. The welfare and happiness of the coun try require that they shall be over thrown, and I have written this pa per to assist in that good work Hon. Thomas F. Bayard in the Forum.

Medicine and the Death Penalty.

An exceedingly interesting report
 on capital punishment has been
 presented by special committee of the Medical Society of the State of New York. The purely physio- logical objections to taking human life as a punishment for crime are ably and exhaustlvely considered The committee does not attempt to consider the religious and philo- sophical arguments for and against It is a principle of law that no murderer shall pay with his life for the crime which he has committed when it can be shown that he was not responsible for his acts. The committee points out that responsi- bility and Responsibility have un- certain boundary lines, and that it is extremely difficult for a jury hay ing no special knowledge of medi- cine. and perplexed by the argu- ments of counsel, to decide justly.
 Responsibility is marked by some abnormal condition of physical structure, either in body or brain. The seeds of murder may be sown in infancy. Hereditary predisposi- tion, Arrangements of the nervous system, may create the legal anom- ally, the innocent murderer. These lnborn tendencies, as the committee points out, are neither diseases or crime, but they may lead to both. Favorable or untOWard influences determine the development of hypochondriac into either famous humorist, who makes tens of thous- ands of sturdy men smile through tears, or homicide, who sends a shudder through men and women or a boy suffering from coHgestive headaches may develop either into heart-moving and soul-stirring poet or a raving maniac. For nor nal growth and exaggerated over growth are but two different results of the same vascular action.
 Education, early evil influences or the contagion of publicity may incite the victims of enfeebled will power to murder. An accident of birth, the effect of illness, the use of drugs and poisons, alcohol and narcotics, heart trouble, affections of the brain, too much or too little blood in the head, epilepsy and physical maltormation, each may be as valid an excuse for the murderer as an actual lunacY would be. This variety of causes leading to murders renders ex- tremely difficult the decision of the question of responsibility in any individual case. The testimony of experts is often conflicting, and the arguments of counsel so confus- ing that juries frequently prefer to give the prisoner the benefit of the doubt rather than run the risk of a mistake, and so let loose upon the community an irresponsible person perhaps to work further harm. The report concludes: "This Medical Society of the State of New York having the advantages of phvsio- logical knowledge and being aware of the difficulties of being always correct, and of the absolute impos- sibility of making a positively safe diagnosis in every case of alleged crime or supposed cerebral disease or anomaly--expresses it's oposition to the perpetuation of capital pun ishment and it's hope that means will be found to protect the com munity by less uncertain and less inhumane methods.
