The legislative assembly of Ari-

The legislative assembly of Ari- zona has passed a bill authorizing woman suffrage in the territory. It is conceded by some that it will pass the senate and also receive the gov ernor's signature; but, surely the senate, with a democratic maj jority, will knock out this Kansas fad to drag the women into politics. With women suffrage, it will be against the admission of Arizona to state hood under a democratic adminis- tration, as the fad is clearly undem- ocrat1c and out of line with all the teachings of the party. The great mass of the democrats of this coun- try believe the sanctity of the home should not be invaded by ourpolit- ical struggles and the attendant un- holy influences thereof. Leave the home to be above these things. The great majority of the women don't want to dabble in them.-Sherman, Texas, Courier.

 ABSOLUTELY PURE

Miss Smith, Jim Lowry's beauti- ful and accomplished deputy sher- | if, who left Prescott about three weeks ago in pursuit of Lawless, the murderer, horse thief and des- perado, is reported making good headway on the trail with fair pros- poets of capturing her man. Sher- if Lowry sent Deputy Rybon out a week ago to assist Miss Smith, and word was received from Rybon a few days ago that he expected to be in at the capture. Miss Smith is a dead shot and known to be fearless. Lawless Is one of the handsomest as we'll as one of the most cold blood men in the west and is dead dead shot also, so some lively shoot ing is liable to take place, should the fair deputy overtake the des- perado. Aletter was received from Deputy Rybon last night stating that his worst fears were confirmed, that Miss Smith had overtaken the desperado and fallen a pray to his handsome appearance and glib ton que; that the desperado had really fallen in love with his fair pursuer and she with him, the Indian trail- CTS told him as much; that the couple had been married and were both making the dust fly in their efforts to reach the Mexican line. Nothing daunted, the deputy, who was somewhat mashed on Miss Smith himself, pressed on, hoping to capture the clipping female depu- ty sheriff, at any rate; but he had not gone far when he was brought to a realization of the peril of his undertaking by two simultaneous rifle shots, one bullet passing through his hat and the other kill ing his horse. He picked himself up just in time to see Deputy Sher- if Miss Smith and her handsome lover going over the divide at full speed on horseback. Deputy Sher- if Miss Smiths aged mother is wild with grief over the loss of her daughter. At any rate, Miss Smith captured her man.

THE HERALD is opposed to ex- empting any railroad from taxa, tion. It is true railroads are con venience and a benefit to people contiguous to their lines, but the people have to pay and pay dearly for all the benefits they receive Capitalists don't engage in railroad building for the accommodation oi the public. Such considerations cut no figure. Before engaging in such enterprises, they send experts out to examine the country through which the roads are to pass, and Il they report the route as not likely to be a paying one, the enterprise if abandoned at once. The accommo' dation and convenience of the peo' pie along the line are not taken in to consideration. It IS simply g question whether or not it will pay Yet they have the unmitigated gal to go to the people and ask them tc donate bonds, which they will have to pay, to aid in it's construction to go before legislatures and ask to be exempted from taxation for ten fifteen or twenty years. In the meantime they will be draining the country of every surplus dollar the people rake and scrape.

Tom Whitehead is over from Bisbee. He is one of the oldest settlersin the territory, having come here in '64. In speaking of the dry seasons of 1891-2 he remarked that Tn 1871-2 a similar drouth occurred. For 27 months the Salt river was so dry that it could be stepped across most anywhere. After the dry pc riod had passed it rained as it never has since and the country was food ed. During the dry season spoken of. mining operations ceased for lack of water. Cattle did not suf- fer then as now for the reason that there were none in the country, and the grass on the ranges was so lux ur1ant that the douth did not affect it noticeably.-Tombstone Pros pector.

THE progress of the south in 1892 is tersely expressed in an article in the February number of the Manu- lecturers Record Magazine, by R. B. Sperry. who puts the situation thus: II suppose that nobody will ascribe abnormal prosperity in any section or any line of trade for the year just passed. Certainly no one can say, for this period at least, that the south has been boomed, yet the statistics of her progress in the face of adverse conditions are significant. Her output of pig iron increased 245, ,330 tons; of coal 986,- 335 tons; of lumber, 230,314,573 feet: of phosphates, 79,64S tons; her export trade outside of cotton increased $6,000,000; her railway mileage increased 1853 miles the taxable value of her property in- creased $67 ,399 ,S07 ; the cotton con sumed by her own mills increased 79,164 bales, and there was added to her banking capital $2,6S0,00O. If the majority of her railroads are in receivers hands, they are at least out of the hands of the specula- tors, and are being shaped to run on business principles and in the interest of security holders. These figures speak eloquently for the en- ergy, progress and stability of the south, and should commend them selves to the consideration of in- tending investors.

THE Atlantic and Pacific com pany has always been we'll treated by the people of Arizona. But if 1t expects to maintain the respect of the people it must not meddle with their affairs-it must attend strictly to its own business-that of operating a railway. It must not not allow Mir. Gabel or any of It's other employees to attempt to move public institutions and county seats, or change the political or economic conditions. Its business is to trans. port people and freight for a req sonable compensation, and wheH it departs from that sphere 1t will not be tolerated by the people.-Arizona Republican.
 The above voices the sentiments of nine-tenths of the people of Ari- zona. When a corporation goes outside it's legitimate business to influence legislation, it can be set down as fact, that it is not seek ing to benefit the people at large, but working for some ulterior ob- iect of its own, whereby it will be the principal beneficiary. It is an old and true saying that corpora tion has no soul and it is just as patent that they are void of patrio- tism. They use all their power, all the influence of their money for their own aggrandizement. and are perfectly careless and indifferent 10 the interests of the people. Our legislators will do well to heed the warning contained in the above par agraph. If by their voices and ac- tions they show that they wear a corporation collar; they may as well bury, for all time to come, any am- bition for future political prefer ment. The people whom they have once misrepresented and betrayed will never again trust them with any office of honor or emolument.

Referring to the wealth of the territory of Arizona, and how it is distributed as regards members of political parties, itis- estimated that 80 per cent. of the bullion produc- ing mines, 75 per cent. of irrigating canal interests. 60 per cent, of the stock interests and land grants, and the entire railroad interests of the territory, are owned by republicans. This being a fact, the democrats must hustle to insure Arizona's ad- mission as democratic state.- Tucson Star.

A SPECIAL from Washington of the 9th says: No editors need ap- ply. This new rule in the dlstribu- tion of patronage was laid down by the Administration to-day. It was made public by Postmaster General Bissell. The National Committee man from a State bordering on the Mississippi called on the President with some recommendations for post offices. He had heard of the edict that reappointments were barred, and asked the Postmaster General if this was to govern in the post offices. "Yes," said Mir. Bis sell, "postmasters who served un- der MT. Cleveland's first admins tration will not be reappointed. Further, I may say it will be the policy not to appoint editors to of flee. The President is quite explic- it in regard to this. He says that if editors are appointed their news papers will lose influence. What appears will not have that force with readers which it otherwise would have. People will say the editor is influenced by the office he holds. The President believes it will be better to leave the press free and untrammeled by office."

\ Murderer Shot.

] Later information of the killing of Ed. Lopez by Mexican troops near Bisbee, goes to show, says the Tombstone Prospector, that the American authorities at Bisbee who gave him up to the Mexicans exact ed promise that he should be ta- ken to Fronteras, where the alleged crime was committed, and receive fair and impartial trial. This was agreed to. Lopez knew, however, that their word would not be kept, and at his request his brother ac- companied him to the line, which is but a few miles below Bisbee. The brother did not venture below the line, and saying "adios" to Ed. waited until the party was out of sight before turning his horse to- ward Bisbee. The party had gone behind knoll when lost sight of. Almost immediately thereafter a volley was fired and it waG all over with Ed.
 There was one man who witness ed the proceeding who informs the ProBpector that Lopez body was examined after the shooting and nineteen bullet wounds found upon it, nearly all of them in the chest. The body was carried off to From teras, where Lopez committed the crime for which he suffered.
 Another account received from Bisbee says that the trial of Lopez took place at Fronteras, Sonora, while Lopez was in jail at Bisbee !; that he was found guilty and sen fenced to be shot that the sentence of the court was that he should be taken from Bisbee to a point 800 yards below the line and be put to death. He was tied to one of the four uprights of a windmill and five shots put into the body. CIV. Blackburn has charge of the body, but the Mexicans insist that it shall not be brought across the line.
 Lopez has two brothers in Bisbee who swear vengeance against the slayers of their brother, and those who know them say they will keep their word.
 The dead brother before leaving jail told one of the constables that he had killed nineteen Mexicans in his lifetime. Lopez was one of Sheriff Slaughter's deputies during the time that he was hunting Geron- imo and Frederico, the Sonora train robbers, and did valuable service for the sheriff's office. He had a hatred for Mexicans, which, it is said, is shared by his brothers, and the beginning of border warfare is said to be a probability.

THEY HUNT GREENHORNS
CoNFIDNNCE OPERATORS WHO ARK

A Couple of Cases of Their Successful
Work Recently Reported to

Victims.

Two additional confidence games have
been reported to Chief Of Police Glass.
Two smooth operators who for some
time had been hanging round the prin-
cipal street corners, found verdant
Swede and unfolded to him a plan
whereby all three could soon make a
fortune. Experience was not necessary.
That would come later. Only the small
matter of $3.50 was wanted; and the
Swede had that.
An office was rented on Broadway by
the eharpere-perhaps only tor week.
The Sweda paid his $3.50 and was full
hedged partner in the scheme to pro-
mote new invention. The Swede was
to remain in the Office and answer ques-
tions, while the sharpers were to do the
outside work. He kept shop one day,
and as his partners did not return for
two DAYS he reported his experience to
Chief Glass. The fellows were known
to the police, hut when they called at a
hotel where the bunco men generally
held out, it was learned that they had
| left.
