GOVERNOR zuLuoK,s ENEMY.

GOVERNOR zuLICk's ENEMY.
 The greatest enemy that Cover nor Zulick has at present is TRUTH. The doughty, pufFed up, little states man, from New Jersey, seems to have fallen out with truth several years ago in his native State, and has been waging an active warfare on 1t ever since. In his brief political career as governor of this territory he would wallop and warp the truth every time that 1t came between him and his own selfish interests. He would make a positive assertion one day, and the next would swear by the beard of Senator McPherson, of New Jersey. his political patron saint. that he had said something entirely different. He Is not what might be termed an ambitious liar, as he does no, apparently make any effort to eclipse the fame and repu- tation in this direction of Tom Och iltree or Eli Perkins, but confines his operations to the little petit logging untruths characteristic of a small -souled charlatan. In fact, many of these are 90 insignificant that they are often overlooked, and, being allowed to pass unchallenged, have the effect desircd by him. They crop out very largely in his interviews with newspapers, and the ex-governor fired on a good crop of these little fellows in his re- cent interview with the San Fran cisco Chronicle reporter. Passing by several minor ones, we come to his statement about Arizona and stat ehood, in which he says: "Ari-
 zona is more entitled to be State
 than either Idaho or Wyoming. She has as many people as either of them, more taxable assets, greater resources, consisting of her rich mines, large cattle interests and inn mense forests" That the little fel- low from New Jersey possesses a certain amount of cunning shrcwd- ness is admitted by all, but that there is no real depth of intellect to him is evidenced by the above state ment. Such an assertion, made to a coterie of his non-reading constitu- uents, in his own ward where his power Is most potent, might be re ceived and pass current for truth. But that such an assertion should be made for publication in a metro politan journal where it will meet the eyes of intelligent readers, who know what the population and tax able property of Arizona is, as com pared with Idaho and Wyoming, shows s shortsightedness on his part which can only be attributed to very small brain. Statistics show ing the above are not in a sealed book, as Mir. Zulick seems to im- agine, but are open to all, and the untruthfulness of such an assertion can readily be detected. Sundry other misrepresentations in the in- terview follow the above, but which are passed by and we come to the following: "A special clause has been engrafted in the new Constitu- ton declaring polygamy to be felony. This was favored by the Mormons themselves, who in Ari- zona are law-abiding people, and there are no cases of polygamy in the Territory" The untruthful- ness of this consists in its omissions. He does not state that this clause depends on future legislative enact ment for its becoming of any force md effect. Neither does he state hat the Mormons hold the balance ,f power in the territory and can md will successfully resist any and Ill legislation looking towards mak- ng the clause effective. He does lot state anything about the Nor non colonization scheme for the future State of Arizona, nor of the .ctive interest which two eyangel- stic Mormon bishops took in fram- ng the Constitution and afterwards l for its adoption. He does lot state that this clause in the Con- titution is absolutely of no force nd effect and will continue to be.
 Of course, Mir. Zulick will carry his interview with him to Washing on, where he has gone to grind his wn political ax. To use his own "Me and McPherson will dmit the territory without delay, nd will be one of its first United
