The Prescott Fire Department is
 the most valuable organization to
 the town of any that exists. It is entirely a volunteer organization.
 but when fire occurs, the boys all turn out and fight the flames with a
 zeal and determination that no paid fire department would do. Very many who belong Co the fire depart ment are men who have no property to be destroyed by fire, so that their work Is an entirely unselish one, and if they owned a million dollars worth of property they could not be more faithful than they are. It therefore behooves every property owner in the town. and particularly those who do not belong to the fire department, to help the depart ment by a liberal patronage of their annual ball. The proceeds of this ball will bs divided between the various companies to be used for their benefit. By buying ticket you can aid the organization
 The JoURNAL-MINER has been in- formed by friend of Robert Con nell that the latter gentleman is au aspirant for position on the interstate commerce com mission. It will be remembered that MT. Cornell eight years ago visited Washington just after Cleyeland's inauguration to present his claims for a position on the commission and came within an ace, and two av three deucs, of receiving it. 1t is not always the ablest and best man that receives the ap- pointment to official position but the man with the best pull h this instance Judge Cooley. of Michigan, had the ~pulls and re- ceived the appointment and the claims of Mir. Cornell ware ignored. As Arizona has no other candidate for the position and she is entitled to representation on the commission the JOURNAL MINER will not be found opposing Mr Conreli's claims.

After Paschal's Place.

| Edward DWyer, who was a Pas
chal supporter, and Ed. HaltOm
and c. 5. Robinson, who were sup
pOrters Of the Shardein ticket, have
gone over to Austin to ondeaVOr to
secure the appointment of district
attorney representing the 37th ju-
dicial district, to succeed Hon.
George PaSchal, elected mayor.
Lafayette Camp, brother of VIII
Camp, is also there in the interest
of the latter for the same position.
Neither Col. f. II. Lane OrThOm-
as II. Franklin, who are both I'M
der consideration by Governor
Hogg for the office, have gone over
there.
Messrs. Camp and Franklin, one
or the other, are considered by
members of the bar here as being
most apt to secure the plum.
While Mr.. Dwyer was an ardent
supporter of Governor Hogg dur
the latter's campaign, it is be-
lieVed that Mr.. DIVERS having
supported Mr.. Paschal against the
dictum of Governor Hogg: 81 favor
Shardein," will cause his defeat
and it is not believed that either
Robinson or HaltOn will have pull
enough with Governor Hogg. Col.
Lane is not regarded as having as
strong an influence as Camp or
Franklin although he has a strong
pull.
Mr.. Paschal will resign his posi-
ton as district attorney before he
he takes the oath of office for
mayor and the resignation is likely
to be sent by next Monday to the
governor.

Two Negroes Cut Peddler's Throat
and Rob Him

Two negroes have been depredat.
ing on Dignowity hill for the past
three weeks holding up and rob.
bling pedestrians there. Hitherto
they have been operating during
the night time, but they have be.
come so bold on account of the
laXity of the police that they are
now committing their highway
rObberies in broad daylight.
Yesterday afternoon at about
two o'clock Wolf Schwartz a tin
ware peddler went to the house of
ID. ChristOfer, carpenter who
lives between Starr and Crockett
streets on blackberry street to dis
pose OF his wares and had hardly
got beyond the gate when he was
beset by two burly young negroes
who stepped out of the chaparaIl
and caught him by the
throat throwing him to the
ground violently, and at the
same time one of them placed a
butcher knife against Schwartz
throat, demanding his money. He
only had 81, which they took from
him and with which they levanted
In the scuffle Schwartz throat was
slightly cut.
Two hours and a half after the
occurrence detective visited the
scene of the robbery to make in
quiries. The police were notified
within five minutes of the occur
renee and a mounted officer came
up and examined the brush and
rode around the vicinity as soon as
he could get there, but of course
found nothing. This is the fifth
highway robbery committed in
that vicinity within month, one
of the victims being a lady on her
way to market. Whenever the
LIGHT has published these rob-
berries the police have said they
were not reported at police head
quarters. y policeman is never
seen in that vicinity, and the other
night when Scott Brown, a lad
who works at WOlfsOn's was
stopped by two negroes on his way
home on DignOwity hill, he reported
the matter to one of the police and
asked the latter to accompany him
as he was afraid of being attacked
again, the policeman refused be-
cause he said it was not on his beat,
so the boy had to go home unpro-
tected. This was early in the ev-
ening, about s o'clock.
Z The people on Dignowity hill are
indignant. One prominent citizen
and taxpayer there said: at is to
be hoped that the new city admin
1stratiOn will have the police placed
where they are needed instead of
massing them in the heart of the
city where there is but little chance
OF robberies or other offences being
committed on account Of the large
number of people on the streets day
and night"

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.


The people have little to say in
the selection of the kind of stone
that will be used in the new court
house, but since the people will
have to pay for it they would like
to see the best material used. Why
not use granite.
A large part of the 100000 is
gone already and the foundation
walls are all that we have for the
money. Our legislation, both in
the city and county governments,
has been too much on the order of
temporary eXpediency, without re-
gard for the future.
Public buildings should be erect
ed and public works undertaken
with an eye to the future. In
twenty years great changes will
take place. Our city will have
more than doubled it's population;
twenty years from now the people
will be ashamed of the expedients
now resorted to.
- The people now living deserve
the best that modern science and
art can give them, and their local
government should be up to the
demands of the day. The intelli-
gent masses of our community
have so spoken at the ballot box.
Strict accountability for the trust
given them, will be the demand of
the people of their public servants.

CORRUPTION IN CANADA.

A Dominion Editor Issues a Sensational
Manifesto Likening Canadian Omcials to
Those In France.
MONTREAL, Jan. A sensation was
caused here Yesterday by J. Israel Tart,
the Editor of lie Canadien, who is oppos-
ing the Government candidate by his
issuing a long manifesto which arraigns
the Government severely.
Mr. Tart in his manifesto, advocates
reform in the tariff and free access to the
American markets for Canadian farm
products.
After reciting what has been done in
the party, Mr.. Tart winds up as follows:
1.-THE ministers and those who feed at
their manger are making strenuous
efforts to prevent an election. They pre-
fer to have in the house flexible and
plant men. They are afraid of investi-
cations and of new revelations that
would show that in our country there
exists system of public dissoluteness
and corruption quite as terrible as the
one which has just been unearthed in
France in the Panama affair.
'1n France the people have just taken
their own cause in hand. l ask you to
follow their example"

.SATOLLI'S ACTS DEFENDED.
A PROTEST AGAINST UNFAVORABLE
CRITICISM OF THE PRELATE.

Prominent Catholic CIergymen Charge
That There is a Motive in the Move
ment Against Him-Priests Accused OF
Fostering Foreign Customs.
NEW YORK, Jan. At is stated that
owing to the attacks which have been
made in several papers upon the result
of Manager Satollis mission to this
country, a circular has been prepared by
some of the best known priests of the
archdiocese of New York, protesting
against the criticisms of an unfavorable
nature on his work.
The names already upon it include
Father Corrigan, of Hoboken, Burtsell,
Of Rondout, who was his counsel in his
recent difference with Bishop Wigger
Laughlin of Brooklyn; McSweeney Of
this city; Cody and Holland of Newark !;
Malone Of Williamsburgh; Sheppard of
Passaic and McNulty of Patterson. 1t
hints that certain prelates of the Roman
Catholic church are behind the criticisms
against Satolli and in setting forth the
reasons for this puts q strong construc-
tion upon Cahensleyism.
1t means, says the circular that Ger
man, Irish, Polish. Hungarian, Italian
and other national customs which should
have been left on the other side of the
Atlantic will be fostered here where
none should be welcome excepting those
willing to give up allegiance to every
thing except America and her customs.
