LOTT SMITH, who was shot by some Navajo Indian or Indians near Tuba City, Coconino county died about six hours after receiving the wound. The Flagstaff Demo. crat says news has been received that Navajos were gathering and arming, but that they claim they are gathering for a "sick dance. Two white men who were present are not certain that Smith shot at the Indians at all.

THE following is an extract from Senator Wolcott's speech before the recent Minneapolis convention:
 "I hold in my hand a list of 194 office-holding Republicans. Nine tenths of them live in States where there is a hopeless Democratic ma- jority. The trouble in this conven- ton comes not alone from these men, but from the 2,000 or 5000 office-holders who swarm in the corridors of the hotels and haunt the delegates when they ought to be at Washington attending to their business"
 And this is from the Republican platform of 1888 and Harrison's letter of acceptance
 "In appointments of every grade and department, fitness and not par ty service should be the essential and discriminating test, and fidelity and efficiency the only sure tenure of office.
 "The spirit and purpose of the reform should be observed in all executive appointments, and all laws at variance with existing re- form legislation should be repealed, to the end that the dangers to free institutions which turk in the pow CT of official patronage may be wise ly and efectually avoided.-Tuc- son Star.

A man named Refugio Leon was

A man named Refugio Leon was caught in the revolving teeth of a horsepower thresher,near Florence and mangled so horribly that he died while receiving treatment. The machine had to be taken apart be- fore his crushed limbs could be re- moved, as it took an hour to unbelt and loosen the machinery for that purpose, and to add to the sicken- ing details, the sun was extremely hot and he was of course, bleeding profusely.-Nogales Advertiser.

w. H. McKittrick made very short stay at the ranch, having re. turned to Bakersfield Monday night. He came here expecting to find his cattle in somewhat bad shape, but was pleasantly surprised to find them in better trim than ever be- fore at this season. Feeling so highly satisfied, he decided to re- turn at once to California and look after his force of sixty hay-makers, who will put in a stack 4,000 tons ofhay,to provide for an emergency. Should another drought strike Ari- zona he will ship all his cattle there and re-stock his range here by pur- chase.-Stockman.

Wm, Ashurst and himself have made three locations of this onyx, and they have one lead 8 feet in width. It is susceptible of a fine polish.

Another Valencia Murder.

Sol. Block, the general merchant at Grants arrived in the city last night and from him it is learned that Ludwig Behrens, a German sheep raiser, whose ranch is located about one hundred miles from Grants, was found dead the other day. The remains were brought to Grants yesterday afternoon and buried there. MT. Block cannot en- tighten the public upon any au- thentic news relative to the killing and the affair will probably be add ed to the already long list of mur- der mysteries in the territory. The deceased was the party who accom- panied the remains of young Solo mon Gusdorf, who was shot and killed by Poindexter Hambleton, to this city a few weeks ago, and now, so short time after that incident, he himself meets death by the same route. Sheriff Luna, of Valencia county, ought to thoroughly inves- tigate the affair, for his county is undoubtedly getting up bad name for mysterious crimes.-Alb. Citi- zen,

Mir. CleveIand's Letter.

Speakingof Mir. Cleveland's letter of acceptance, the Chicago Times (dem- ocratic) says: Recognizing the issue framed by his party and accepted by the expedition, MT. Cleveland proceeds with pleasing directness to make clear his position on the question of tariff tax ation. He takes issue sQuarely with his opponents by accepting the platform of his party and denying the. right of government to levy taxes for the pur- pose of enriching private individuals and cOrpor ations. The limit of govein- mental interference with individual liberty is clearly stated by democratic hosts. No man who believes the state has right to regulate the appetites or habits of the people need look for fa- vor at the hands of Grover Cleveland. In this Mir. Cleveland stands as does his party sternly opposed to that extension of republican paternalism which has led to the enactment of vicious sumptuary laws and statutes which do violence to the household conscience.

Kissing Mother.

A father, talking to his careless daughter, said: want to speak to you of your mother. 1t may bs that you have noticed a careworn look upon her face lately. Of course it has not been brought there by any act of yours, still it is your duty to chase it away. l want you to get up tomorrow morning and get breakfast; and when your mother comes and begins to express her surprise, go right up to her and kiss her on the mouth. You can't inn agine how it will brighten her dear face.
 Besides yon owe her kiss or two. Away back, when you were s little girl, she kissed you when no one else was tempted by your fever tainted breath and swollen face. You were not as attractive then as you are now. And through those years of childish sunshine and shadows, she was always ready to cure, by the magic of mothers kiss, the little, dirty, chubby hands whenever they were in- jured in those skirmishes with the rough old world. And then the mid night kisses with which she routed so many dreams as she leaned above your pillow. have all been on interest these long, long years. Of course she is not so pretty and kissable as you are; but if you had done your share of work during the past ten years, the contrast would not be so marked. Her face has more wrinkles than yours, and yet, if you were sick, that face would ap- pear far more beautiful than an angels as 1t hovers over you, watching every opportunity to minister to your con- fort, and every one of those wrinkles would seem to be bright wavelets of sunshine chasing each other over the dear old face. She will leave you one of these days. These burdens, if not lifted from her shoulders, will break her down. These rough, hard hands, that have done so many necessary things for you, will be crossed upon her lifeless breast Those neglected lips that gave you your first baby kiss will be forever closed, and those sad, tired eyes will have opened in eternity and you will appreciate !your mother, but it will be too late

A Humilaring Confession. title ROck Gazetta

It is not creditable to the g. o. p that all the opposition to the Australian ballot law which secures to every citi : zen a secret ballot, and renders him in- dependent of the partisan 'heeler" and bulldozer, comes from the leaders of that party. Now the republicans in the Northern states where the new method exists can vote xs they please, and no longer fear the party bosses, republican votes decrease and demo- cratic votes increase. The operations of the law secure a free, secret ballet, and because they do so, the republicans now demand it's destruction. This is aD open confession that fraud is nec- essary for the success of their party at the polls. It is humiliating confes- sion, or would be if that party had not long ago degenerated into an organiza- tion maintained for the benefit of rings and corrupt combinations generally; but it serves the good purpose of open ing the eyes of the people.

Gov, Fishback's Speech. Neshyille CTenn.) Banner, Sept. %.

IS00uNltfe tAonusJ DahuCis ScPss Sss
 Gov. Fishback's speech at the Grand operahouse last night very favoraly impressed his hearers. The speech wassingularly free from that quality of shss'average campaign oration com mOnly denominated buncOme, but dealt with facts aud issues in the calm and argumentative style that is calcu- lated to caTry'convictiOn.
 There was an absence of fustian, and the orator made no effort at display or dramatic effect. But there was sense in what he had to say. The audience listened to him because of the meaning and not the sound of his words. and was interested as well as instructed.
 It is refreshing to find such orators as Gov. Fishback on the stump when one has grown weary of the psrfervid exordiums, tho flowery flights, the far fetched anecdotes and other devices which the average campaign speaker uses to cover his poverty of thought and ignorance of the questions he pur- ports to discuss. :.
 Politics would be vastly improved if all the speakers were of tho Tishbsck school.
