OH, SHAME UPON THE STATE!

Read the proceedings of the county
commissioners court yesterday rela-
tive to that poor unfortunate Henry
Purnell and blush that you live in a
state that allows such a thing to he
possible. Think of it A man con-
victed of lunacy, sent to county Jail
and cooped up in narrow cell for IA
months, with little or no medical at
tention and constantly suffering from
all the restraints q county Jail neces-
sarily imposes. Yet this is in Texas
state that boasts of her
great eleemosynary institutions,
her broad philanthropy and
her southern chivalry.
In the IA months how many paid
patients, from whom the state receiv-
es revenue, have been admitted in
the three asylums? We do not knew,
but were there any, even one, while
this poor unfortunate la1guished in
Jail and many more throughout Tex
as just like him? Is it a matter of
fact that all three of the white asy-
lums are crowded to their fullest ca
pacity, if so, how under heaven could
Governor Hogg get his consent to veto
an appropriation bill that made pro.
vision for.increasing the capacity OF
those asylums? Is it within the range
of possibility that the noble people
of great Texas are willing to let this
inhumanity continue rather than
spend a few dollars on these asylums
Travis county pays her full share of
taxes tC the state--how many insane
from this county are in the asylums =?
Has the county exhausted its fair
share Misrepresentation in the asylums,
or has the ban been only raised
against Henry Purnell =? The county
commissioners have done we'll in as
Stunning for the county the extra ex
pense te-have him put in the hospital
and given good medical attention.
But what lasting and burnin g
shame this whole business has
brought on Texas !

STATE DISPENsARIEs.
The South Carolina Law Not Working as
Smoothly as Expected.


CHARLESTON, :. c., July 8.--There
were no new developments today in
whisky legislation. Old dealers are
much encouraged by Judge Hudson's
decision at Darlington that the dis
pensary act is unconstitutional for the
reason that by taking the business
away from individuals the state
has created monopoly for itself.
incidentally Judge Hudson decided
that railroads are not prohibited from
bringing whisky into the state from
outside; that when the sale of liquor
is prohibited by law citizen cannot
sell, bat if it is his property railroads
can deliver it to him. Judge Hudson
further decided that dispensary
could not be opened at Darlington be-
cause the person named as dispenser
had been illegally appointed, not
having obtained q majority
of freehold votes as pro-
vided by law. Judge Hudson be-
longs to the anti-Tillman faction of
the Democratic party, bat is noted
for his fearless and bipartisan con-
duct on the bench. investigation
shows that Judge Hudsen's ground
that the dispensary law is unconstitu-
tional does not amount to anything
for the supreme court has already de"
cided the law constitutional, which
overrules Judge Hudson's decision az
to its constitutionality. State author
titles will appeal to the supreme court
to set aside the decision of Judge
Hudson with regard to the validity OF
Fioyd,s appointment.

THE Kentucky people improved on

DON'T it seem queer that asylums
are awfully crowded until district

when he speaks the doors of the asy-

SAM WEBB.

Hon. Sam F. Webb of Phoenix wants to be Collector of Customs at Nogales and the CITIZEN tow line is out for him. We have known Sam Webb for many years and although we are diRmetricalIy opposed to him in our way of political thinking, we are free to admit that we have never known him to be other than square man. We like to see such men ing out the present incumbent, but on the contrary we believe in keeping him there to the end of his term if possible, but when a change is made we want to see Sam Webb get there. We made this announcement months ago and are yet of the same determination. His good, rugged common sense, and fine business qualifications admirably fit him for the position ard no mistake can be made in appointing him. Itmay be asked why are we as good Republ;- cans, advocating the appointment of good Democrat to office. The answer IS that under the new deal Democrats were given the relns of power, and whether we will or not, Democrats will be appointed to office. It is an atfliction that must be endured, but we propose to tighten that affliction by advocating for office the best men in the Demo cratic party. Give us men and not demagogues, good citizens and rot po- litical shysters, practical business men in preference to bowling demagogues and cha1latains. Sam Webb was a good citizen under the Republican ad- ministration and will be none less so under his own party government. He has held many offices of trust in the Territory and during all this time kept the confidence, respect ald trust Of his Republican associates, which we regret to say some of his Democratic col bor- CTS did not. Such men as Sam Webb, in office or out of office, are a credit to any community.

ANOTHER KILLING.
William Brock Kills Mexican
 Sheriff.
Tucson, April l9.

John Dart came in last night from the San Pablo mlnes with the intell- gence of shooting scrspe at the San Pedro mines belonging to the Monte zums O., of which Al Richards is superlntend- mt.
 It appears that there IS 8 pen- alty imposed if any shooting is done in the village which is situated near tae mines. A number of Americans and Mexicans were on drunk, among whom were Wm. Brock and Frank Pearley, both of whom were working for the mines. Several shcts were fired.
 A Mexican sIeriff immediately ar rested Brock and started him to jail when Frank Pearley came up and asked Brock if he would let greaser take him to jail. Whereupon the sheriff and another official immediately drew tEeir guns Brock drew his six shooter and killed the sheriff. Pearlay hit the other official over the heao with his SIX shoo CT and held him till Brock cou Id escape, Brock took a mule tat was standing near by and star ed for the line.
 By this time PrRrley was disarmed by several constables and taken to jail. It was intended to take him to Arspe the next morning but during the night he broke jail aLd could nowhere be found.
 Frank Pearley is well known in Tombstone, where for many years he was an enginer. He was working in that capacity at the San Pedro mine.- Prospector.

ERBERT BROWN - Manager
TO THE PUBLIC.

WORLDS COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION,
 EIcAGo, March 30, 1S93.-To the
 ublic: Because of many misrepresen- ktions and misstatements relative to the ,xposition management and affairs be- hg in circulation through the press and therwise, both ln this country and broad, and in reply to many letters of hqui-y or complaint touching the same matters, it seems advisable that some ficial statement regarding them should be made to the pubic. Therefore l Respectfully ask that the widest publI- eity be given to the following facts:
 1. The Exposition will be opened in readiness for visitors May l.
 2 An abundance of drinking water, khe best supplied to any great city in the world, will be provided free to all. The report that charge would be made for drinking water probably arose from the fact that hygeia water can also be had by those who may desire it at one cent glass.
 3. Ample provisions for seating will be made without charge.
 4. About 15O0 toilet rooms and closets will be located at convenient points in the buildings snd about the grounds, and they, will be absolutely free to the public, This is as large a number in proportion to the estimated attendance as has ever been provided in any ex- position. In addition to these there will also be nearly an equal number of lsvstories and toilet rooms of 8 costly handsome character as exhibits, for the use of which 8 charge of five cents will be made.
 5. The admission fee of 50 cents will entitle the visitor to see and enter all the exposition buildings, inspect the ex- hibits, and, in short, to see everything within the exposition grounds, except the Esquimau Village and the reproduc- tion of the Colorado cliff dwellings. For these as we'll as for the special attrac- tions of Midway Plaissnce 8 small fee will be charged.
 6. Imposition or extortion of any description will not be tolerated.
 '. Free medical and emergency hospital service is provided on the grounds by the exposition manage ment.
 s. The Bureau of Public Comfort will provide comodious free waiting rooms, including spacious ladies' parlor and toilet rooms in various parts of the grounds.

ARIZONA WEATHER.
Bulletin of the Official Observer for
 the Week Ending April I7.

This bulletin IS compiled from re- ports received from stations in eight counties, and covers the rain portion of the entire area of the Territory. Yet it is earnestly desired that all who have been engaged to act as correspondents, and have been furnished with blanks for that purpose, will send in a report each week, mailed so that it will reach this station by Monday night or Tues day morning. At least one correspon- dent is wanted in the vicinity of every postoffice in the Territory. Blank ferns for taking reports will be fur nlshed to responsible persons upon ap- plicatIon to this office.
 No raj has fallen in the Territory during tte week, and as a consequence, the ranges, which were revived and started by the rams of last month, are beginning to suffer from drouth, and there continues to be some loss of catt.e for want of sufficient feed.
 The streams continue to afford suffi- cient supply of water, and all crops de- pendent on irrigation are reported in good condition.
 The daily temperatures during the past week have been about four degrees below the average. Tt Tucson the average daily temperature for the week was 6e degrees, which IS five degrees below the average.
 At Yuma the weather bureau report shows an average daily temperature three degrees below the normal.

THE UNIVERSITY.

In their report the com nittee W ho wis ted the University paid that institu- ton the following high compliment:
 "The committee has also visited the University of Arizcna, situated at Tue son, and we are gratilied to be able to say that, in our opinion, th7 money ap- proPriated by the Territory for the ins.i- tuition and by the general government, has been and is being honestly ex- pended.
 Upon an examination of the b oks and records of the Board of Regents, We lind they are we'll kept and we havc only words of comnendation for the Chao- cellor and Regents, the deans ard pro- fessors of this institution, for the man her in which they are disonareiDg their dut es and we congratulate the people of the Terri ory that there Is aS present, one public institution which is and always has been free from charge of corruption.
 We find the buildings and grounds excellent Tn every particular. Regard ing the management of the institution, however, we recommend that there should be either a president or chancel- Tor of the University who should be a professor and have charge of the faculty, under the superv sion of the Board of Regents and with that end in view. we recommend inst the act introduced by Mr. CheyDey be passed, as it will relieve the faculty from any conflict of iuris- dictIon or authority.'
 "lhe present Board of Regents have erected and constructed three commo- dious and modern residences ard are contemplating the construction of a dormitory for accommodating students from distance. The plan of this dor mitory would permit of its erection, by first constructing part thereof, which can afterwards, as exigencies may re gulre, be added to. The Regents have on hand in the Territorial treasury about S6.500 and that much more would enable them to erect one wing of this dormitory which will answer the present needs of the institution. We therefore recommend that an appropriation of S6,500 be made for this purpose.

THE Chicago Herald says that the realized wealth of this country is more than tour times as great as it was in 1860 while the population is about twIce as great. These facts sta ed by De -mocrstIc paper are high tribute to the party which his recently lost control of the government. To understand the true sign ficance take into consideration the large loss of life by war in that time and ths immense sums ot money expended in that war, and the result is wonderful. Whatever errors the Re publican parry may have been guilty of during its long reign, it must be ad mitted that the count'y has been wisely administered and has wonderfully prospered. Bear these facts in mind because the Democratic party now in power is oppossd to the principles of government established by the Repu- b!ican party and when their methods have been fairly tried compare the results and see if they will stand the test--El Paso Herald.

COMMISSIONER CARTER.
Argues that Seals Being Nourished
 are Private American Property.

PARIS, France, April 19.-In resuming argument before the tribunal of arbitra- ton today Carter the United States consul claimed seals are not 'ferae naturae" but private property when nourished and tended by man. Carter quoted cases in support of this conten- ton notably the case of Morgan vs. the Earl of Abergavenny which resulted in decision that deer were private pro- perty, similar.to bees and swans. being wild until cultured. The seals,frequent- ing Pubyloff islands were, Carter con- tended cherished by the United States therefore a species of husbandry was formed giving a property right in the seals. The line of argument pre-
 sented by Carter in support of his claim of American ownership in seals was so intricate and technical that the Presi- dent of the tribunal frequently ques- tioned him regarding statements made.

IF Governor Hughes does what he can to uphold the laws of the Territory and advances the interests of Arizona to the best of his knowledge and ability we propose to stand by him and help him when and where possible. This is duty that every good citizen owes not only to himself but to the pubic. If on the other hand his actions as governor are deserving of public censure we will be free to deal with such acts as they deserve, but we do not believe m howl ing before we strike trail as the Phoe- nix Republican seems to be inclined to do. Tbe charges made by that paper that Governor Hughes is controlled by the land grant claimants and that be is pandering to the vicious elements Of both parties, strikes us as being not only grossly out of place but maliciously false. We believe in giving him a fair trial and judging him by what he does do rather than by what his enemies fancy he will do and what they hope to have him do. Above all let us try to be fair whether our passions and prejudices allow us to be so or not.

Editor Bagg Bags Three Offices, Two
 of Them at One Skot.

s. c. Bagg, the genial editor of the Tombstone Prospector, was elected to the office of treasurer and secretary of the Ar;z5na association.
 MT. Bsgg is one of the most active and progressive members of the crafr, and his selection, by unanimous vote, was a neat compliment to a worthy man. The books of the association will be in good hands and well kept during the next year, and the finances will also not go to waste. MT. Bagg has lately been honored with political preferment, too, having been appointed a member of the board of prison commissioners by Gov. Hughes. The Governor showed good judgment in making this appoint ment, for Mr. Bagg is one of the best men in Cochise county, and he will look closely after the interests of the Terri tory in the care of themost expensive
