JEFF Wilson Case Coming TO Tucson.

The jeff Wilson case will come to
Tucson for trial, after having been pend
ing at Phoenix and latterly at Florence
for the past four years.
The change of venue has been taken
on account OF Judge Rouse being on the
bench at Florence. AS United States
attorney Judge Rouse first prosecuted
the case. Then, after the expiration OF
hrs official term, he was engaged as
counsel for the defense. From his ex-
periencies it would seem that be has q
good knowledge of the case. NeveIthe-
less, he will not try it.
Deputy Marshal Neustgtt goes over
to Florence after Wilson tomorrow
night.
Wilson is one of four or five negroes
arrested four years ago for the murder
of a soldier named Fleming at the San
Carlos reservation several years ago.
His trial has been postponed from time
to time. The other prisoners have all
been discharged, and incidentally it may
be said all of them came to violent
deaths since.
At Phoenix Wilson has been their
''go0d boy" in the jail. He has behaved
himself perfectly. At one time when
other prisoners were escaping he gave
the alarm.
His case was first taken TO Phoenix
when tcat t1wn was headquarters for
the second district, then to Florence
when the district Was changed; and
finally to Tucson for the foregoing
reason.

measures TO prevent the introduction of
cholera into the United States.
A member of the convention from
New York opposed this resolution en
SPECIFICALLY, contendiuR that the mai D.
tenance OF quarantine should be intrrlst.
ed to the individual states. He claimed
that New York was fully caps ole OF
maintaining a quarantine at New York
ports, and that the national government
ought not to interfere. The discussion
turned somewhat upon the consideration
of the question Of state rights, althou2
as matter of fact in the consideration
Of this matter the rights Of the states
need not be involved at all.
The constitution confers upon the ma.
ti0nal government the power to provide
for the general welfare. THIS does not
interfere with the right of a state to
provide for the welfare of Its own peo-
pie. A nationsl quarantine is main
tanned in the exercise of the power to
provide for the general Welfare, for if
cholera should enter this country
through any port, the whole Union. ana
not merely the state in which that port
may be situated, would be put in
jeopardy.
To contend that the nation should
take no part in the maintenance of
quarantine at the port of the city Of
New York would be to say that the
general welfare should be Entrusted 10
the state authorities of New York in
stead Of to the national government.
The state of Illinois. for instance, might
justly protest against this, for il has not
even an indirect control over New
York's quarantine officials. 1t has, bow
ever, sumo voice in the general govern
ment, aud in order that the interests Of
Illinois and all the other states outside
of New York may be properly protected,
the national and not merely the state
officials should be in charge of the
quarantine service 10 Now York harbor.
To maintain be position does not q
volve the assertion that the New York
authorities have Ii right to maintain
quarantine OF their own. If the state
of New York should not be satisfied
with the character OF the national
quarantine, it would not be compelled
to fold Its hands and allow cholera to
slip past the national quarantine o.
ficials and invade New York city. A
state quarantine could be maintained il
addition to the one under the control Of
the national goverJm ut, and thus the
rights of New York could be adequately
prot cted.

Arthur d. Elliot, the literary and

YUMA PENITENTIARY NOTES.
Some Views of q Critical Nature
Reforms Advocated.
YUMA. a. T.. June 10. 1899.

/
| Editor CITIZEN:
stopping over at Arizona's "seaport'
| for relief from the heat of Tucson
| your correspondent made tour OF and
some Observations on the territorial
penitentiary, and, as the question of an
appointment TO ill the vacancy occa-
stoned by Mr.. Neade's withdrawal is of
! absorbing interest just az present, | send
few lines which may BE- pertinent.
In company with Mr.. TrippsI. the
secretary, L made the rounds and found
that, as regards clea liuess, food and re-
gard for the personal welfare of tie
untortunates here, the present manas e.
ment Can but be commended.
But there are some matters open to
criticism, ami it is but Just and fair to
the taxpayers of the territory, that at
tention should be called To them.
FIRST, a. regards the super ntendency.
1t is of the utmost Importance thai a
"head" in all thst the name in6ties.
should at once De appointed. Mr.. Shaw
who Low Is dIschar-ing the dual duties
of superintendent and assistant. Mhik

Of course, we'll aws re that his pos t.on as
acting supeii tndeut is but temporary
cess that would be used by one in un-
disputed authority, secure in his posi-
on and free to los titlts measures that
IN ms judgment might be OF benefit, and
the moral effect CT such a position upon
suOcrdinates can but be apparent.
My Second subject for criticism is that
there seems to be, IN Consequence of the
present sgt N OF appointm Its, diepo-
: fffaFN On
here, to consider himself as independent
O. the control Of the superirtend Mt. In
conversation vita said official tais morn
ing he stated that as his apo ntuent
was net from the SUPERINTENDENT. he
was not IN any way subordinate t. him,
and II case of difference of option or
clash OF any kind, t1e superint Ande It's
word would not be decisive, but tne
prison board alone could decide. Such
a feeling and position strike me as all
wrong, for as the superint end Mt has the
entire res 1onsiUil t. and shoulders all
the blame IT seems but Just that his
authority should be undispUt=d. II is
be hoped tlat the next eppUintee will
not be hampered by lack of authority.
Thirdly, fer some reason but few Of
the prisoners are empl yed. With the
exception Of few working on an exca- |
walton for the new library, and some few |
IN the shops, most Of the prisoners are

ho1L. There is plenty of money in
'Lcson TO erect good hotel, but those
having it evidently have no faith IN the
town and will only 10 n their money at
usUrious retes on twenty dollar pieces.
This is the reason why Tucson is stand
ing still and Phoenix gong ahead.
The foregoing from the Florence
Tribune contains some true but unpala-
table facts, and some statements that is
not true, viz, disbelief IN the town
itself. Conservatism is the bane of all
towns. The ruts of years are deep and
hard to leave. Old buildings may be
repaired but new ones are seldom or
never built by the ancients. New
corners bring new blood, new life, new
ideas and new elements of progress
They turn aside from the old ways and
refuse TO follow them, and if Of sufficient
strength they mcdernize the town and
grow with it. Tucson is in need of a
hotel that VIII accommodate health
seekers, who would crowd the town if
such hOtsl was built, but we are free to
believe that this long-cryIng need will
never be built by our own people. There
Is, it is true, money enough in the town,
bu it is employed in other avenues of
trade, from which it is no easy task to
disassociate. The city has been liberal
in lis inducements to others having
capital to invest, to build the much
needed hotel. 1t will be paying insti-
tuition from the beginning and We
marvel much at the delay in it's con-
struction.

STATUS OF CATTLE COMPANIES
Cattlemen Estimate Their Stock at
Half That in '92.

The cattlemen of pima county have
handed in the estimates of the cattle
they had on hand March l to the asses
sor. Generally the decrease for the past
year is half the stock they had a year
ago, in part from losses, mostly from
sales. The big companies estimate as
follows:
Maish and Driscoll, 66OO head; horses,
200 head. Last year they handed in all
900 head, which the board of egualiza-
ton raised to 10,349 head.
Mr.. Driscoll further explains that the
firm branded in the past twelve month s
200 calves; sold and butchered $500
head. and that there died on the range
$3.50 head.
The La Osa company hand in their
estimate as 100 head, against 1000 head
year ago.
S O:ero estimates $500 head, against
$500 head for 1892, with 120 horses
against l50 last year
n. W. Bernard reports 1900, half the
number for last year.
The Vail company place their assess
ment this year at about 1000 head, their
total shipments, 5000 head, and range
losses 500 head.

HEREsY trials are really an anachro-
nlsm In our day. They engage very
earnestly the attention of a number of
educated gentlemen, a large port of
whom are past middle life, but they are
regarded with wouder when they are
regarded with seriousness by tie grea;
bulk of the community. They do not
belong in the present. They are a
remnant and reminder of a past that
has been outgrown, and they hardly do
more than parody the methods of
period to which they were appropriate.
They are becoming more and more
curiosity, and less a reality as the years
go by. They may outlast the present
century, but We are inclined to doubt
if they do. The next one will hardly
smile in view of them any more than a
