Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1893-10-25

whooping it up for Gov. Hughe
 and Johnny as it did in days of old
 Once in while, in the language O
 the late lamented Joseph Durr, "w,
 must have a little fun," but asid,
 from that, Governor Hughes can z,
 into continuous session, for he ha
 net, and can have no better cham
 pions, than the newspapers of Ari
 zona."
 Mrs. Clark, of San Francisco, in
 vlted a number of friends to hel
 house to have social time. Among
 the guests were Lawrence Kelly auC
 John Maloney. After filling up or
 the hostess liquor 8 quarrel aros,
 between them ou some point of oti-
 quette, when Maloney slashed Kelly
 with razor, inAicting wounds from
 which he died the next day. And
 this happened in San Francisco
 Had It occurred in Arizona it would
 have been heralded broad cast as a
 sample of gathering of Arizona's s
 best society. The affair of course
 took place in the slums, of the above
 city, and among people whose high,
 est idea of entertaining guests is
 that they must be filled with the
 worst whisky obtainable.
 Thomas Parish says that the sil-
 yer question belongs solely to the
 popuhsts and that no man can es-
 pouse the cause of silver without
 renouncing his democracy and be- coming a populist.. The Los Ange- les Herald, however, contends that 1t Is republican doctrine as will be seen from the following item from that paper: "It is not pleasant to know that the only potential office which the democratic president has so far performed is what is known in Siam as the white elephant act. The animal is used as a decoy to get the wild animals into the meshes of the hunters. With the unlimited patronage at his command, Mir. Cleveland has thus far shown his ability to lead half of the democratic membership of the house of repre- sentatives into the republican camp on the silver question"
 Some of the democratic senators are fighting vigorously now for the of counting a quorum when present, whether senators an swer roll or not. It was this self same question that resulted in these same democrats, a year or so ago, in styling Speaker Reed as ''Czar Reed" The average democratic statesman has a pretty tough job of it, to keep hls memory brushed up sufficiently. to prevent his advocating today, what he denounced yesterday, par if the denunciation was against a republican. He finds oc- that the parliamentary medicine administered by republi- cans, to members of his own political faith, would be good for his own purpose at times, and as for consist sncy, in adopting tactics which he had before denounced, that does not seem to trouble him at all.
 There seems to be considerable mystery connected with the wreck ng of the steamer Newborn. h. 'tead of S75,000 she is now reported l O have had S250,0OO aboard. and l Los Angeles papers express doubts IS to whether a portion of it does lot remain among the rocks at Point | 'incente. The vessel was away out | 'f her course at the time of the ac- ident. Instead of following the 1 Isual course west of the Catalina is and she was running east of the is and. The ship slid on the rocks at | :l2 a. m., her bow resting within fifty feet of the shore. At f o'clock !. m. her engines and boilers dropped trough the bottom of the ship into he sea. The night after the disas- ar two men were left on board to 'atch the vessel, but instead of re- there they took to a small oat and a fire broke out on the 'ewbern destroying everything that 'ould burn.
 Our contemporary this morning avs that ''the Courier reporter met
 rumor yesterday which stated hat, as soon as Judge Hawkins re- Irned, the receiver of the P. & A. !. By. would ask his permission to ommence suit against the county ,r $500 damages on account of the urning of the Willow Creek bridge [ the receiver should decide on lch a course, it will be on the ad- ice of his attorney, of course. The MINERS estimate of the Oility of the receivers attorney, ould receive a terrible shock, lould it discover that such an { 'tion had been commenced. AL 'ady a number of suits have been led, at his instigation, which re- Iires a greater legal acumen to scover the point to them, than possessed by the average attorney, 'en, but should he bring suit yainst an entire county, for the e burning of a bridge, it would : imply "cap the climax" Of course
 case of property destroyed by ob violence, or by riots, the terri ! ", not the county might be held {; sponsible. But to say that the :, un.y is to be held responsible for T e acts of a single alleged incen- . ary, is certainly principle in law ' w to the liar west" If es- = it might be beneficial to :, .izens hereafter who may prove so n fortunate as to lose property in " e same manner.
