 The JoURNAL-MMER regrets to be compelled to state that there is an apathy on the part of some of our largest property owners in Prescott, m regard to the new railroad, that does not speak we'll for them from the standpoint of enterprise. Of course We appreciate the fact that a man has a perfect right to do as he pleaseS with his money or his property, and hence do not wish to
 appear as attempting to dictate what this one or that one should do. It does seem, however, as a business proposition, that every one who has any interests whatever in the town should put his shoulder to the wheel and assist ia securing the greatest advantages possible from the cons struetion of the road. The build ing of through line will of itself prove a great benefit to the town, But the company can in various
 ways, afterwards, help to build up the town, or they can adopt policy
 leaving the place to help itself as best it may. We insist that a
 liberal policy should be adopted
 towards this road. Several of those connected with the road have large interests in the town, and we feel satisfied that every dollar spent in furthering the enterprise, and every act done in assisting 1t, will be re- turned ten fold to the town and to the individual.
 Governor Hogg of Texas proposes to punish the citizens oS Paris, Texas, who participated in the tor ture and burning of the negro tend, recently. While it makes one shud- der, and causes the cold chills to creep down ones spinal column, so think of the awful torture and pun ishment inflicted on this demon, when the unprecedented and un- heard of crime that he committed is taken into consideration, it really suggests the thought that if his capacity for suffering had been one hundred fold greater, and if he could have been fried and s;Lzled and scared with hot irons for days instead of minutes, the punishment ould not then have been adequate to his crime. Words are not found in any language to express the euormity of crime, consisting of the pulling of an innocent child ,o pieces, limb by limb, as was done by this incarnate fend. Che very devils in the lowermost depths of 1 hell would shudder at even the l thoughts of it, much less be guilty | of committing such a crime, and no | sentiment of sympathy or pity can be even suggested to the most sym | pathetic of human hearts for tho monstrosity in human form that could be guilty of 1t. The human mind, great as it is in inventive gen jus, could not conceive of a punish- ment too great to admister Ia such Q nondescript, devoid If the feel iRgs0f even the devils themselves.
 "The best democratic endorse ment Tom Parish can possible have ir the opposition of the JOURNAL MINER Courier. The JOURNAL MINER is highly gratihed to learn that its opposition to Mir. Parish is pleasing to him and his friends. If he can gain any democratic endorse ment from it. he is welcome to it, as we make no charge for presenting Mr. Parish to the people of North era Arizona, democrats and republi- cans alike, in his true light. It is a in connection with the above item, however, that the editor of this paper has, unsolicited, re- ceived the thanks of several promi- nent democrats for putting the peo- pie of this section on their guard against endorsing this man Parish. As previously stated, he has not the of any considerable portion of the better class of men of his own party in any part of the territory. The most scathing criticisms that could be pro nounced against him appeared recently in a democratic newspaper in this territory and was three col umns in length. Mir. Parish, as al- ready stated, was the avowed and open enemy of Yavapai county in the legislature two years ago, and, for the sake of argument that he is otherwise qualified and competent to fill the position of governor, which he seeks, (may we be forgiven for ever suggesting such , a thought, his pronounced enemity to Yavapai county should in itself be sufficient to condemn him in the eyes of every citizen here. But it , does not seem necessary for the i JouRNAL-MINER to waite its space, or for our citizens to waste their 1 breath in opposition to him, as he | has no following or endorsement that will recommend him favorably to the appointing power, and We nave no more fears of his appoint . nent than We have hopes of his gc- ' ng up to glory in a hand basket Nr. Cleveland will not appoint m. ,f his caliber to offices of trust. C
