The Right Note.

The Tucson Citizen truthfully and forcibly says;
 The gubernatorial endorsement of L. c. Hughes, which we herewith republish from the Phenix Gazette, is endorsed by the Citizen, and we propose to stand by that endorse ment. Newspapers have too long been used as stepping stones to place and power by undeserving and in competent politicians, but they no longer intend to be used. No pro- position to advance the interests or ambitions of any man, no plan was ever devised for the betterment of a town or state that did not call for and demand the support and srength of the public press which has always been unselfshly and un- stintingly given. Too often the un- deserving have enjoyed the bene- fits of this labor while the press who did the work have been fed with husks. But the end of these gratuitous services has been reached and the editors themselves are in the field for favors, and there are no good reasons why they should not receive all they ask. In the first place the press is a unit on L. c. Hughes for governor. He is man of the people and one of the peo- pie, and will worthily wear the hen or sought. He is, aside from politi- cal reasons, entitled to the place, and to whatever honors and emolu- ments it may bring him, for services that he has rendered the territory during the past twenty years of his newspaper work a-d anything that the Citizen can do to contribute to his success will be done.

Public Spirit.

In the following, the Tucson En- terprise gets at the bottom facts concerning the upbuilding of town or country: Public spirit in acom- munity is the very soul of it's exis- tence. It is the animating senti- ment, the active essence which moves it forward in the path of pro- gross. It is the warm life blood of the body polite, the sustaining sub- stance which gives strength, vigor and energy to all it's acts. It is the brain to conceive and the hand to execute whatever may be necessary or beneficial for it's welfare or com. fort. A people who are devoid of this trait of character, resemble an individual whose vital functions are diseased and who has dropped into slow decline. Stagnation and de- cay is the certain end of a people who fail to cherish and encourage this practical virtue. Progress and prosperity on the other hand, attend a community who realize that the world moves. While it is no doubt a wise and prudent motto to Hook out for number one" it should not be forgotten that the interests of one are bound up with the interests of all, and the whole indissolubly linked with the destinies of the country. Those men who are alive to the public interests and use their best endeavors to foster them, will more surely in the end build up their own. Let us then, by all means, encourage this feeling of public feeling and enterprise. The time is close at hand when there will be ample field for the display of both, and on their vigorous application to coming events will mainly de- pend our future.

THE electoral vote has finally been cast. Cleveland received 276, Harrison IA, Weaver "A. Cleve- lands majority 108. It will be seen from the above figures that Cleve- land would have been elected, if he had lost Indiana and New York. Without those two States he would have received 225 electoral votes or two votes more than necessary to a choice. Tammany may not be able to play so prominent a part in future Presidential elections.

The fact that Pima county has shipped more cattle the past year than appears on the tax roll and that she still has cattle to sell evi- dences an active degree of thrift and industry on the part of some os our citizens-Richardson & Gorm- ley of the Pennsylvania ranch at Crittenden are moving out all the stock they can get out. The range in that section is we'll eaten down and it is predicted that the losses will be heavy before spring.-No- gales Herald.

The Phenix Gazette very kindly refers to one of Pima county's states men CD as follows:
 Judge Barnes says: Dunbar doesn't run the democratic party of Arizona and he will find this out sometime" We want to tell the judge that we lay no claim to this honor, but we wantto impress upon the gentleman from Pima that we will see that he doesn't run it. The Gazette has always advocated demo- cratic success and always will. Will the gentleman from Pima take the stand and make a like assertion. We want Mr. Barnes to understand now and forever that he cannot boss the democracy of Arizona, and fur ther, he cannot dictate to the press of Arizona. Sensible men usually know where and when to halt, and we take this opportunity to say that no political marplots can dictate the policy of the Arizona democ- racy.

Turned Loose.

Last Monday, Probate Judge Ew- ing issued an order commanding the release of Frank Clark from the penitentiary.
 Clark was tried and convicted in Apache county in September 1887, and sentenced to the penitentiary for life, for the crime of murder in the second degree. The reasons for his release were as follows: The law concerning the crime of murder was changed in 1887 and went into effect July 1st, by which murder in the second degree was abolished. Clark's crime was committed before the law was changed, but he was tried afterward. The charge in the law escaped the notice of the Dis trict Attorney and judge, and the jury were instructed that they could render a verdict of manslaughter, murder in the first degree or mur- der in the second degree. The jury gave a verdict of murder in the sec- ond degree and Clark was sentenced to the penitentiary for life. 
 Some months ago a move was started to get pardon for Clark and then the discovery was made thst he had been convicted of a crime not in the statutes. Acting on legal advice the application for pardon was dropped and habeas corpus proceedings begun. Attor- ney E. NJ. Doe of Flagstaff repre- sented Clark's interests, and on Monday filed the proper application before the Probate Judge, who is au- thorized by law to hear such basi- ness in the absence of the District Judge.
 On being served with the writ, Supt. McInerEay of the prison pro- duced the commitment in Clark 's case, (which showed that he had been convicted of murder in the second degree in Sept, 1887. The commit. ment itself was conclusive and the Judge ordered Clark's release. The superintendent of the prison had the right to hold the prisoner until he could get the opinion of the At torney General, but he did not choose to do so. The Attorney Gen eral had previously been asked tc come here and take part Tn the case but had refused.
 As Clark had been in the prisor five years and half, he did not al together escape punishment. The petition for pardon, signed by th' Judge and jury who tried him, stated that they considered him punished sufficiently.-Yuma Times.

They Have a Bonanza.

It seems the owners of Dr. Drum mond's Lightning Remedy for Rheuma- tism have Bonanza as their remedy has never been known to fail in single case. There is certainly room in the market for a medicine that will do what they claim for this wonderful preparation. Although the price is $5 per bottle if it does one half claimed for it the price should be $10O. If the druggist has not got it, the remedy will be sent to any ad- dress by prepaid express on receipt of price. Drummond Medicine Co.,, 4S-50 Maiden Lane, New York. Agents wanted.

The people of the east do not know Arizona. It has 61 ,000 white population and 700 Mexicans. It has $1,OO0,O0O worth of property set aside for school purposes. Of the population over ten years of age, less than five per cent are unable to read and write. Give Arizona statehood and it will promptly double it's wealth and population and soon rival southern California ln horticulture, viticulture and az riculture. It has soil and climate as we'll as the enterprise.-Denver News.
