CAPITAL VS. LABOR.

also, may be said of the official
 acts of an officer, the same will apply
 with like force and effect. Through
 the press of q community, the pub
 lie on the other hand are, and must
 be the judges of each. Whatever
 political cause is to be weighed ia
 the balance, or the differences of a
 commercial question affecting the
 entire community are to be consid
 cred, the same rule will apply.
 Personalities figure in all discus
 sions as only the blackguard cringes
 under every stroke of the legal lash.
 Again this morning, the Courier
 throws open its polluted valves of
 stench, which we have no desire
 whatever to answer. The question
 to be considered by the men of
 Yayapsi is not one wherein the ab-
 sent editor of this paper must fig
 ure for his personal bearing, but one :, wherein the sacred duty of com
 mon labor must be grasI ed and that
 too, by the men who perform it.
 Whether or not J. R. Lowry figures
 in this question, we care not; or on
 the other hand, whether an oflicial
 of the county, like J. C. Herndon,
 the Sheriff's legal guide, must also
 be considered in public
 act, 1t matters little Co us. We
 owe to the men who support us
 tho poor alike as the rich--a duty,
 and in the performance of tha. duty
 will ws strive to faithfully and fear
 lessly perform it, Whatever may
 be the results of our course on any
 matter we deem to grasp, or any
 political issue handled, the facts
 truthfuily and impartially told will
 be lived up to and carefully consid- cred.
 Ne would ask the Courier, Sher-
 10 Lowry or any of their henchmen, If this lien law is "uncon- stitutionsl" in one issue of its organ. why IS it that in the same article it says the Sheriff has performed possibly doubtful official duty" Does this not carry with it it's own failure in reason and justicef Or, on the other hand, will the author of the article in this mornings issue 1 try as best he can to explain to l every miner who strikes a drill, | every farmer who guides a blow, l every mechanic who yields ham mer, or any of the common labor CTS, why it is their toil should only | be protected by BUNGLIxG AND IN COMPLETE LAwi Is it not a legal and constitutioal act9 Has it's validity ever been brought to the bar of jus tice to receive judicial fighting? Why do not the men who are so deeply imbued with the idea of f the rights of working men for ever settle the "constitutionality" of this labor question, by placing it before the court, or why have they not done so, since last Aprili If Sheriff Lowry, John C. Herndon. and Baldwin < Johnson earnestly believe in the fruits of their legal labors, why is it that this law is such a "bungling and incomplete" Dne that 1t should favor the Bank of Arizona and J. I. Gardner. and at he same time turn a ruthless and cold hand to Ed Cover, Alex. James Grogan and Harvey Helm as each reaches out for that guaranteed him in priority oi night" under the constitutional lien , aw of the land to-day. If this is a bungling and incomplete" law for he toiler of Arizona to labor un der. Ihy III the name of justice and of ( lght, did not J. c.
