The attempted assassination of John Rhodes in open court, during his pre- fminary examination on the charge of murdering Thopaas Graham, is with out a parallel in Arizona, except in single instance in 1884, in Prescott, where justice was derided and death resulted from inflamed passion, Baked in the attempt to undo Rhodes, ah in sensate mob attempted to take Tewks- bury, lthe alleged accomplice Of Rhodes) vi ct armis, from the Marioo- pa county jail, and lynch him, but Fortunately they were frustrated il their design by the vigilance of the sheriff.
 Theattempted assassination of Rhodes is felony, and the assemblage Of two or more persons for an unlawful prr- pose is also in violation of la0, yet no effort has been made to punish the in- fractors of the law in those cases. However, that is easily accounted for, in this that carping fovl enemies of Rhodes and Tewksbury, still tainted with the bitterness engenderod by the Pleasant Valley war, in which, per haps, some Of then were participants, keep up the hue and cry and by their clamor have so influenced the unthink- ing mind as to induce the belief that they are on the right trail, and because sn examining judge differed in his judgment from their pre-coneeiyed opinion, they denounco him in set terms as unworthy the position he has sworn to fill without fear or favor Justice Huson's action in the Rhodes case is unassailable. The prosecution was afforded every opportunity to prove Rhodes comphcity in the crime, but the testimony introduced with that inteut was for the most part cir cumstantial, and of vague character The defense, by several reputable wit nesses, established a perfect alibi, and Justice Huson in accordance with the evidence and ignoring public clamor, discharged the prisoner,

In their private circular of August 2d, James Lewis E Son say: "The prospects of reduced supplies later on, due so the combined actian now in force 5h the part of ;he chief producers of copper to restrict their production, has had little or TO effect upon values 50 far, as is aas been neutralized by the excessive production of tho Ameri- can companies prior to the lst ult., and m increase in ss5ok5 hera. As it is generally believed that the cost of pro- ducing copper by the Calumet and Hecla Company of Laks Superior is lower than that of any other copper mining company, ia the absence of any annual balance sheet we find that dur ing the seven years, 1885 to 1891, m average dividend of S17.71 per share was declared on l00,O shares, or a total of Sl, I'll GOO, and that during this period the average manual produc- tion of copper was 52, 3G9, 900 pounds, the average value in New York being 1913 cents per pound.

Justice Huson in refusing to hold Rhodes has probably saved the county several thousand dollars. No one be- lieves that a jury would have convicted Rhodes on the evidence furnished by the prosecution and Justice Huson is to be commended for refusing to listen 10 popular clamor and for deciding the case according to the law and evidence submitted Public sentiment demand cd that Rhodes be held, and when an officer in spite of public clamor does his duty he rises in the estimation of all right thinking people. 4 perfect alibi was proven by Rhodes and in the absence of that testimony being im- peached Justice Huson simply did what a trial jury would have done and has saved the county the expense of a long prosecution that would have cost thousands of dollars and finally result ed in the acquittal of Rhodes The Republican is anxious that the mur- derers of Tom Graham be hunted down; and hung, but at the same time 1t wishes to commend Justice Huson for what we believe was his duty in the matter. .--Phenix Republican.

County Olerk Anderson.

Before the next issue of this paper
County Clerk A. L. Anderson will have
laid down the cares and responsibilities
of Office and his successor will occupy
his place.
1t is particularly distasteful to law
yers TO part with an efficient county
clerk, and it will be with exceeding re.
greet that the bar, in common with all
who have had business with the county
clerks Office for the past four years, bid
goodbye and God speed to "rhroop,'
as competent, obliging, courteous and
satisfactory an official as ever perform
ed the duties of that office.
We hear nothing but complimentary
endorsements of the incoming clerk
and trust that when his turn comes to
yield the Office to another we shall be
able to say as many good things of his
incumbency as we feel we can of his
predecessor.

Gerrymandering.


The days of the gerrynhander are past
and its doom is sealed. The supreme
court of Indiana, following the example
of the courts of Wisconsin and Michi-
gan, has just set aside legislative ger
rymander in that state, and the courts
of last resort the country over will fol-
low suit as occasion is presented.
This is long stride in the direction
of fairness and decency in things polit-
cal and rap at partisan machine
methods which will prove exceedingly
salutary.
1t is a much-needed non-partisan cor
rection, administered through the best
possible agency, and one which will
have to be needed.
1t is matter for congratulatiOn that
the judiciary should have proven them
selves equal to the emergency and faith
full to the exalted trusts reposed in that
branch of the government. The non
partisan decisions which have been rem
dered by judges of strong party predi-
lections and preferences in different
sections of the country during the past
year, even with the presidency at stake,
ought to fill the heart of every patriotic
citizen with pride and renewed conf
dence in republican form of govern
ment.
Such decisions have raised the bench
i'm the estimation of the whole country,
and have demonstrated also that a
trained mind accompanied by an hon
est heart can, forgetting its own preju-
dices, hopes and ambitions and, look
ing neither to the right nor the left,
WELD the sword of justice with as exact
impartiality as can be expected of NOR
tai man
The cases decided maintain the con-
stitutional principle that there shall be
reasonable equality in legislative APP
portionments.
The Indiana court in deciding the
case before 1t said: "The rule requiring
an approximation to equality forbids
the formation of districts containing
large fractions unrepresented where it
is possible to avoid it while other dis
tricts are largely over-represented. That
the general assembly has much discre-
ton in the disposition of the fractions
of the unit of representation cannot be
doubted, but it is not discretion be-
yond control"
There are those who have chafed at
the so-called interference of the courts
in their Interpretation of legislation,
and charged upon the judiciary a dis
position to extend their jurisdiction I'M
warrantably in such matters. The crit
cism is baseless, and it becomes more
and more apparent that it is highly
beneficial and necessary that legislative
discretion should, in proper cases, be
within control.

the benefit off,, who lives 80 far
away. j. w. b.
Petitions have also been sent with a
great deal of diligence into the rural
districts with very little discretion, and
of them the News observes:
This petition racket is now in full
blast in several different districts, but
even in the highly important matter of
the choice of petition circulators the
laundering fatality heretofore exhibited
pursues the Luce managers. Joseph
Lannin, of South Haven, is voter who
favors Mr.. Stockbridge's reelection, as,
he says, nine.tenths of the Republicans
do in that section. The Luce managers
at Grand Rapids foolishly wrote to him
To engage his services in getting sigma
lures To Luce petitions.
"Mr. Luce, they wrote, "does not ask
that this be done gratis in his behalf,
but is willing to pay reasonable
amount for the time expended To make
Il good showing on the inclosed petit
tion," etc.
If Joseph had wanted TO he could
have had an awful lot of fun with Milo
and young Mr. Blodget. He could have
taken their money and gone on and got
up petition whose showing i'm Stock
bridges favor would have made their
eyes bung right out of their heads when
they got it. But, though poor, as he
says, he is honest, and he
declined the offer sending their letter
back, as he had been particularly re-
quested He went, however, and told
his friend, Editor Reid, of the Allegan
Gazette, all about it, and Reid got up a
column article with an eight-line head
on it. "If," Reid asks, "Mr. Luce and
his committee regarded their proceed
ing in the matter of Lannin an honor
able one, why did they ask for the re-
turn of their letter."
Campaigning of this character i'll be-
comes candidate of ex-Gov. Luce's
pretensions. 1t is altogether disrepu-
table and ought to and will be repudiat-
ed. A man who is willing to shift the
responsibility of his official acts, when
challenged, upon dead mans shoulders
and who permits his supporters without
rebuke from him to circulate in his be-
half the sort of documents of which we
have given samples, and who consents
that his committee for what there is in
it to himself, in alluding to the empti-
ness of his pocket book, may tempt his
fellow citizens by the use of the wealth
of others at his command to support
his cause from mercenary motives. is an
unfit man to represent the people as
their senator

A Boom for our Senator.

The South HaUen Sentinel, one of the
best papers in Southern Michigan, in an
able editorial so admirably voices the
sentiment of the people in this section
of the state with reference to the re-
election of Senator Stock bridge that we
take the liberty of presenting 1t to our
readers. 1t is as follows
The question as to who shall represent
the interests of Michigan in the United
States Senate for the six years follow
ing the 4th day of March next is now
the principal subject of discussion in
political circles. Col. Frank b. Stock
bridge has SO ably and honorably filled
the position during the term just clos
ing that it will be a surprise to some to
know that there could be even a slight
opposition to his unanimous endorse
ment for reelection. 1t would be more
than human for any person in that
position to expect to please everybody,
but for the welfare of the best interests
of the state, and supporting and carry
ing out the principles OF the Repub-
lican party, Senator Stockbridge must
be accorded more than ordinary praise
even 10y those opposed TO his reelection
and who may be honest in believing the
failure of one or another OF their polit-
zeal aspirations or schemes can be traced
to his door. The Republican party
ought never to be troubled i'm their
state and national councils, and neither
should slight personal differences have
any bearing or weight in influencing
any member of either branch of the
state legislature whose vote is expected
to be given outside of these petty differ
ences. Without a showing of personal
prejudice toward those republicans who
may differ even with the administration
in the carrying out of Republican
measures. or without malice toward
any Republican who holds his party as
above the filling of his personal aims,
we think there are a host of reasons
why Senator Stockbridge should be re.
elected as United States Senator. Van
Buren, county through her port is inter
ested in the advancement OF the marine
interests, locally, and of the state at
large, and at the present time those
interests are in condition to nee d to be
in the care OF some one who has perfect
knowledge of them and who has an in
fluence in the departments at Washing
ton of much more weight than any new
man would have. In his committee
and other duties the Senator ranks
among the highest in Washington and
is no doubt to be in position hereafter
to aid the commercial interests of
Michigan more than ever. Were this
not true, still by all the precedents es-
tabished by the Republican party he
would be entitled to reelection, and
the coming legislature will do well to
show the people of the state that that
is no place for disgruntled politicians
to take their soiled linen for laundrying.
The interests of the state are para
mount to those of any individual, and
those interests can be best subserved
by the reelection of Senator Stock
bridge, and certainly the future COM
mercial improvements and advance
ments of Van Buren, are AS much inter-
ested in his reelection as can be those
of any county i'm the state
