WAR ON THE PRESS.

The Phoenix Gazette of the 10th derisively alludes to the Honorable Mir. Skinner, representing Graham county in the 17th Legislative Assembly of Arizona, and would have it's readers believe him legislative wall-Aower, from the fact that during the several weeks of the sessi0n he has only intro dueed one bill, and that attacking the press, in this, that it's pay should be reduced to starvation rates, without suggesting birthstone and troacle, at least twice week, is did the thought ful Mrs Squeers for the purpose of appeasing craving appetites. Asa rule, those of the craft are not gormandisers except at free lunch counters, but those of them in whom tape worms find a lodgment would be restless, md proha- bly suffer if the worms were not goh- erously fed, Doubtless, the worms were inadvertently overlooked by Mir Skinner and for that reason he failed to make provision for them in his bill
 The BELT is of Che opinion that the Gazette instead of upbraiding Mr. Skinner for only introducing one bill, should have commended him for not further occupying the allotted time of the legislature, not because the speei- men submitted for the approval of his fellow members was not worthy of their consideration, except wherein it lsgis- latss against the necessity of tape worms Skinner, 1t seems, does not understand that when worm is dying by inches it feels the same corporeal pain as when Q giant dies, and that, as nothing is created in vain, it is the blessed mission of legislators to succor every created thing, not destroy as SkiaRers bill proposes shall be the fate of worms.
 Should Mir Skinnsr's bill become law thsre.wiu be fewer deadhoad col umns devoted to ArizoRa's magnificent climate, home of the invalid, and per petual sunshine, not because editors do not realize the advantages arising from home in this elysium where avery breath inyigorates the system, but be- cause climate alone does not make sui ficient muscle for the legs of compos- itors who stand all day at the cases sticking type that all may read the passing news, of baby born, an elope- ment perhaps, and pursuit by an out ragged parent; doiRgs of the legislature, touching obituary of some one of Territorial, or National reputation who died of information of the brain, and now lamb of God.

Private advicss from Ph@nix state that opposition to the bill to exempt railroads from taxation is increasing in the legislature The protests sent in from Graham county are no doubt the cause of much of the opposition mani tested at Phoenix. It is singular that the people of Graham are so afflicted with obliquity of vision that they should work against measure which would rebound to the benefit of Graham county moro than to any other section almost.
 A railroad through the Graham val ley would have wonderful and almost immediate effect in developing the re- sources of that rich agricultural section. It would turn immigration and capital that way enhance the value of lands, and materially reduce the tax rate by increasing the value and amount of tax able property. A country possessing the rlch and varied resources of Ora ham county can not offer too many in ducements to railroads, and this applies with equal force to the Territory at large.
 Globe needs rail communication with the busy world around her It is nec- essary to her further growth, and her people do not think it just that bill promising so much for the develop ment of Arizona should be defeated by few selfish individuals aided by the indifference of those living in more 1sorsd localities already possessing the

The Administration appears to have innumerable surprises in reserve for office seekers. The latest is that the policy heretofore pursued of virtually allowing the Congressman to name ap- pointees to Federal offices in his dis trict, will be modified. While the re- commendation of a Congressman will have weight, yet the applicant must be endorsed by the people of his dis trict and the character of this endorse ment will be considered more import ant than the recommendation of Con- gressmen and political bosses.
 President Cleveland does not place much reliance upon the endorsements of Senators and members of Congress, and sites as his reason, that many Senator's have appointed their sons to important clerkships and they being incompetent, experts have had to be retained to do the work Also, ill the House law was recently enacted giving to each member a clerk at $10O a month, and as soon as the bill was passed Congressman proceeded to ap- pointment their sons or some relative. The President says, this is undemo- cratic to an extreme point and he ha decided not to regard indorsements coming from such sources,

The Auditor in- formed us that the first twelve years subscription was gratuitous, aad, doubt less, arrives at that conclusion from the fact that no appropriation was made for payment of Territorial newspapers ordered to be sent to the library. The BELT in making this statement does so with tho view of contrasting the liber- ality of the Territorial press with that of the kickers,

An analysis of figures from 'Row- elps Newspaper Directory shows that in the United States and Canada, in 1890, 17,76o daily newspapers were published, with combined circulation of fl 800, 900 and notwithstanding mat ter concerning them is given. And yet that number, large as it may ap- pear, is greatly less than the daily publications now in the United States alone. How different are opinions concerning the influence of the press as an educator from what they were in the days when it was scarcely toler- ated. Now even France recognizes its error and proposes to commemorate by a monument, the services of Re- nandot, who under the auspices of Cardinal Richelieu in 1851 published a newspaper in France. His efforts to enlighten the French upon passing events were not favorably received. He was not only the subject of railery, but the vilest epithets were applied to his calling. In Vienna the purveyor of news was no more favorably re- ceived. Censors of the press were established and houses were often sacked from collar to garrett for un- authorized publications, and when found were burned. We note the fact that the leven of that early age, has cropped out in an exalted quarter in Arizona.

The extent of the depression in the British shipping trade just nov may be gathered from the fact that altogether 479 vessels, representing tonnage of s56,000, are laid up at English and Scotch ports. At Liverpool 15G steam CTS, representing about loo, ,00O toas, are lying idle, and over 15O vessels are laid up on the Tyne. In addition there are 99 British steamers lying idle at Continental ports. The idleness of these vssseb represents loss in wages of some e50, 900 a month, and the loss falls upon 5000 unemployed sailors, engineers, officers and others. New York Sun.

The third trial of James Robinson, charges with rape upon Maggie Deam, occurred in the district court yester- day, attracting the usual crowd incl dent to such occasions. The story of his alleged abduction of the girl on the night of January 18th, 1892, their nights wandering north beyond the Arizona canal, their sleeping on the foothills and return to Phoenix next evening are well known The jury was out about three hours and re- turned verdict of not guilty, which was not expected The Gazette says, there is little doubt that Robinson's long detention in jail had much to do with the verdict.

It is probable that in short time surveys will be made to ascertain the feasibility of damming the Grand Can yon of the Colorado in the neighbor- hood of Diamond creek and taking out an immense irrigatiBg canal for the purpose of irrigating both Wallapai and Sacramento valleys. Only few million dollars would be required to place the waters of the canyon in shape to irrigats at least one million acres of the most fertile lands in the West. = Mchsyo Miner.

The advance of cholera in Western Russia, and it's almost certain spread throughout Europe is cause for appre- hension on this side the Atlantic. The danger to the United States is greatly increased by holding the Worlds Fair at Chicago this year, which will att tract thousands of visitors from every part of Europe, and largely increase imports. It is fortunate and some what reassuring that Congress appre- ciated the impending danger and pro vided against it as far as possible, by the enactment of stringent quaran- tine law and the appropriation of S1, 900, 900 to enforce it's provisions.
 The plan of campaign eontemplates three distinct and separate lines of ac- tivity (1) A thorough quarantine on the other side of the water; (2) a rigid quarantine of American ports, and ,3l a quarantine inland, to prevent any possible spread of the dreaded plague between our various States and Terri. tories. The foreign quarantine is an entirely new departure. Iti unique, and has never been tried except in a fsw isolated cases. At Havana, for instance, this Government has kept a sanitary inspector for number of years, and his services in examining  and reporting vessels bound for ports in our southern States have been in- valuable. But no general system of foreign inspection has ever before been undertaken, and it is hoped that much will be accomplished from this branch of the service.

Several old stiffs, members of the Worlds Col umbian Exposition were interested witnesses of the moulding of her well proportioned figure. Her features are as exact and lifelike as the original. The height of the statute is five feet ten inches, and when mounted, it will stand on silver globe two feet in diameter.
