ANOTHER SQUARE BACK DOWN

The Phenix Republican, last week contained the following most abject, and stultifying retraction of a personal attack on c. s. Masten which it made recently:
 ''In the legal complications which have arisen of a personal character with Colonel c. $. Masten, manager of the Telegraph company, The Republican, in the spirit of fairness which always characterizes its actions, states that its criticisms upon the Arizona Telegraph com pany were not intended to apply to Mir. Masten personally, nor was the criticism and the atfidavits which followed intended to convey the meaning that Mir. Masten violated the secrecy of the telegraph office. or any such reflections upon his character, 1t was not the intention at the time to make, as We there fore publish this explanation to correct a statement that may pos sibly have seemed ambiguous, and to absolve MT. Masten from any ap- parent stigma which may have ap- peared to have been placed upon him, either as citizen or manager of said line."
 The libel suit instituted against the Republican by Mir. Masten was dismissed on the day following the publication of the above.
 This is the second libel suit which our Phenix contemporary has 'squared' by crawling on its stomach In the Lake case, it was apparently a clear case of having been imposed on and its retraction and apology was appropriate and honorable.
 In the above, it was simply case of malicious and bitter personal | abuse of a gentleman, without l cause, and when confronted with a libel suit as a consequence case of lbject "crawfshing" to escape the

Frank Clsey, manager of the famous P.ll Alto horse farm, be- longing to the estate of the late Senatog Stanford, passed through the citr yesterday morning en route to New York with seven car loads of thoroughbred racing stock, worth ia the aggregate about S500,000. The special train reached here about S o'clock and attracted considerable attention at the depot. The horses are rayellng in style. They occupy regular passenger coaches, from which the seats have been removed and in which padded stalls have beeu plaeed.-Star
 Ed. Lands came up from the dam site on Bill Williams Fork Thurs day morning. He says the survey for the dam has been made and the lands to be irrigated examined thoroughly. The dam will be built in the canyon and will be sixty feet in width at the bottom and eighty feet wide at the top. It will be one hundred and sixty feet high. A res eryoir seven miles long and two miles wide will be obtained. The water can be taken cut to a depth of forty feet from the bottom and two hundred thousand acres of land will be irrigated. The scheme is a grand one.-Mohave Miner.
 When Governor Atgeld, of Illi- nois, pardoned the spawn of anar- chism from Joliet penitentiary, he made just such crimes as the mur- der of Carter Harrison possible in the near future. He gave an incen- tive to these red-handed fends to in their deadly work, and he Is to-day morally guilty of the blood of the mayor of Chicago Bee.

WORLDS FAIR FINANCES.

The grand total of paid admis- sions to the Worlds Fair up to Oc- tober 30, when it was officially closed, was 21,477,2l2. It was esti- mated there would be 100000 more tickets sold before the exhibits are removed and the buildings torn down.
 The total number of admissions on passes was 2,052,1sS, making a grand total of 23,529, 400.
 After the debt of fthe Worlds Fair has been paid there will remain at least Sl,OOO,00O, and perhaps much more, to be distributed among the stockholders.
 The exposition company paid out $50, ,55S, ,S400l, or three times the amount the managers expected to spend when they commenced build ing the fair.
 The gate receipts during the ex- position period proper were little over Sl0,00O Over S3,SO0,OOO were collected from concessionaires by Mir. Blackman's department and nearly S7OO,OOO were paid before he took hold. The returns from con- sessions was one of the biggest sur prises of the fair. Nobody was reckless enough to predict that that sum would be realized. The Paris exposition got but SSOOOOO from that source, while the centennial managers, being better traders than the Frenchmen, got S1, 100000.

Oscar Neebe, one of Governor Altgeld's anarchist pets, in a recent speech declared that Anarchist Ling, whose head was blown of by dynamite while he was awaiting ex- ecution, was really killed by a loaded cigar given him by the officers. It is a great pity that Neebe and few moro of his ilk could not be induced to smoke the same brand of cigars.
 The St. Louis Globe-Domocrat says: It is quite evident that office seekers who have the names of the Missouri delegation on their papers would do we'll to scratch them of as soon as possible" This suggestion applies with equal force to Arizona office seekers, in view of the fact that not single appointment has yet been made that has been reeom- mended by the Arizona delegate.
 With silver coined at ratio. of 26 to l, the par value of silver would be only @ cents per ounce.' If friends of the white metal submit to a compromise on this basis it will only require a manipulation on the part of the money dealers of the world to secure a further decline of silver during the next quarter Of a century. The money dealers have adroitly secured the appreciation of gold. The masses of the country, or the people who represent them in Congress, should see to it their conspiracy-a conspiracy of the rich against the poor is not per mitted. Coinage on a ratio of Is to l should be insisted and if the gold bugs, who have virtually obtained a corner on gold, find that it is too valuable for coinage into money at that ratio let them keep 1t, for awhile. It will soon seek its level.

WASHINGTON, Nov. H. Special correspondence. What will the democrats do about it, is the ques- ton now being asked. The answer is probably suggested by the expe- rience of the past few months-a quarrel among themselves. Many democratic statesmen are now open ly protesting against the carrying out of the extreme low tarih thee ries of the democratic platform and some of them are going so far as to say that they will rebel against 1t when the bill comes into congress. President Cleveland, however, with his iron will. is likely to refuse to listen to their suggestions, and it IS believed will demand the carrying forward to a completion of the theory which he has been so long urging. That there wifi be a long struggle over the tariff ques ion oc- cupylng months IS quite evident, and that there will be a great dis satisfaction in Democratic ranks and great dissatisfaction among the masses with the result is equally apparent. The tariff bill is 10 be the first and chief work of the dem ocracy in Congress, when they get together three weeks hence. Wheth- or the Ways and Means Committee will complete the bill before Con gress meets is doubtful. It is quite probable that they may hold 1t back in order to consult members who are now at home and who may be able to advise them of what the peo- pls are saying in regard to it. On the other hand t Is argued that 1t would be better to shape up bill and give it to the public as soon as possible, in order that the members who are now at home may test the public feeling ln regard to it and re- port ou their return here,
 The other question of financial legislation, and how to get money to meet the necessary running ex- penses of the Government con tinues to trouble the President and Secretary Carliale and the states men who are responsible for raising the necessary revenue to meet gov ernmens expenses. Secretary Car lisle has been over in New York consulting the bankers and faau- cieTs there, and finds them very strongly opposed to his proposition for the colHage of the seigniorage bullion now in the treasury. They have spoken out strongly against it, and Ao comes back even more pug zled llcu ever to know what to do about 't lt is doubtful whether be can fud su.icivIt warrant under the existing lac, ..l coin the seignioiage. Of course ii he could coin all the bullion. he would have the right to use the selEniorage for the necessary expenses uf the treasury, but the work of coiuing all the bullion in the vaults would occupy from three to four years, and would not give him funds which he finds already absolutely necessary. So he IS hesi- tating as to what shall be done. If he Is unable to make uss of the seigniorage immediately, which would amount to nearly fifty million dollars, he might find it necessary to issue bonds, or ask Congress for further authority in that direction, for the revenue receipts continue to fall five or six million dollars below the necessary running expenses of the government.

what a Lawyer Thinks of it.

In an interview in Chicago on the Hawaiian question, Jef Chandler, a celebrated lawyer of Missouri, said:
 "Cleveland has no more right 10 enouire into the methods by which the provisional government was es- tablished at Hawaii and overthrow that government than he has to en- a,,ire into the means by which the Tepnblic of France had been estab-. lished aud use the military forces of the United States to overthrow that republic. When Cleveland rode down Pennsylvania avenue to take the oath of office on March 1 last, the provisional government of Hawaii had been recognized by the United States and it's ministers were in this capital. Cleveland has no more constitutional right 60 use the military power of the United States to overthrow that provisional gov erument than ho has to direct the military and naval forces of the United States to destroy any other government whose minister he found accredited to the United States, and recognized by this gov ernment when he took oath of office. The spectacle ol a president over throwing by military force an es- tablished government of a foreign country on ex parte athdayits taken in secret, is novel. If he may do this, and in the vicissitudes of the future Harrison returns to office, he could enter upon a new inquiry touching the validity of the evidence on which Cleveland overthrow the republic of Hawaii, and finding 1t insufficient in his opinion, order the republic restored by use of the same naval force which overthrow it under the orders of Cleveland"

Our board of supervisors have
 been "taken in" in great shape, at
 least such is the case if reports are true, and We are inclined to think they are. One George Daniels was given SlOO by our county fathers and sent out after Bell and Arm strong, the two outlaws, the where abouts of whom he declared be knew. Before leaving he borrowed a horse from William Wilson, which 1t IS needless to say, has not been re- turned. It now turns out that Daniels is an imposter and that he belongs to the same gang that Bell and Armstrong train with. The Apache county authorities are as anxious to know the whereabouts of Daniels as that of Bell and Arm, strong Warrants for his arrest are in the hands of all the officers of Apache. Williams News.
