FRANK DIEHL'S CASE.
A We1-Known Tucsonite on Trial
 for His Life in New Mexico.

A We'll Known Tucsonite on Trial
 for His Life in New Mexico.
 The trial of Frank F. Diehl, for kill. ing tramp at Lordsburg last January. Is now in progress at Silver City, N. M
 Diehl will probably be cleared and should. He was brakeman with Con. ductor Sam Hibbs. The conductor had trouble with tramp and the tramp f drew a revolver. Diehl leveled a shot gun on the tramp just in tune to save Hibbs from being shot. The tramp was killed by the shot.
 Diehl was taken to Silver City, for hearing, and the Southern Pacific con- peny furnished his bonds. The trial began day or two ago and is now in progress. The railroad company are defending their employees manfully. Three lawyers have been engaged on the case.
 Diehl is a quiet earnest man, very peacable and the last man in the world to kill fellow being without the direct emergency compelled it. In Tucson every ybody knowing hin hopes for his release. Three men of Tucson, Sheriff Scott, Chris Christensen and Charles Hof, went there to testify to Diehrs good character.
 Tramps present at the time of the shooting were st first confined as wit fnessess. but afterwards they were rele- ased. A justice of the peace of Lord sburg is said to be taking an active part against Diehl, however. A brother of the dead tramp IS attending the trial.
 The outcome is awaited with some anxiety here. because of fear as to the jury. New Mexico juries are reported to be sometimes anti-railroad to an un- reasonable extent. Shuld such state of things prevail now it may go hard with Diehl.

A FRIEND TO ARIZONA.

Hon. R. c. Mccormick, better known to all old Arizonans, by whom he IS held in dear remembrance, as Dick Me- Cormick, has been elected to congress from the first congressional district in New York city. MT. Mccormick was at one time governor of Arizona and twice represented this territory in congress. He was elected in 1868 and again In 1870 and is credited with having done, in and out of congress, more than all the democrats ever seEt for Arizona to that body, and from which he receiv- ed the thanks, by concurrent resolu- tions, of the First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth territorial legislatures. His platform when a candidate for con- gress, addressed ito the people Of Ariz- ona," reads:
 ''If elected I will vigorously labor to procure from congress and the depart ments those measures of assistance to winch the people are entitled and which are essential to the speedy and success 1ui OeN6iOpiltDb OI IuS HUI IcSCulCcS Ol the territory"
 That he did so is fully amplified in the public endorsements he received and in the loving remembrance by which his memory is still held in the hearts of the people Appropos of his services the CITIZEN of Oct. 2, 1870, says editorially of him:
 "Each Of the five legislatures that have assembled in Arizona, passed with rare unanimIty resolutions highly con- plimenting Governor McCormick's emil nent capacity, integrity and impartiali- ty. In nearly every instance the major i ity did not politically agree with him, but they recognized in him high order of ability and official probity and placed that recognition in unmistakable Ian guage iD the territorial statutes"
 Now that he will be again in congress and representing the First district in the great state of New York, Arizona can truly say she has another good friend in position to give her a helping hand in all her troubles.
 To Richard c. Mccormick the people of Arizona send greeting, and to the people of the First New York congress sional district their compliments on the
 election of so true and able a represen- tative.

Theatricals Coming.

Manager Reid of the opera house announces two fine plays coming, 6! follews:
 On the 7th of December, Richard the Lion- n-Hesrted,.' not tragedy, but 8 historical drama, founded upon incid ents in the courtship of Richard C9ur de LeoG and the prince ss oi Navarro. Robin Hoods ward and Friar Tuck are features in the production, and the romantic story blends humor with pathos. It will b. presented by Robert Downing.
 For December 3d comes a classical tragedy, "The Gladiator" by Robert Downing, Eugene Blair and generally efficient company, which has given satis. faction to macy admirers of the legitim- ate. ''The Gladiator" as presented by Mir. Downing, is quite different play audiences through the magnificent lm- personation of Spartacus by Edwin Forrest. The latter was a prize trag- edy, written expressly for the great trsgedian by pr. Robert Montgomery Bird; while the one now being present ed b. the popular young follower of Forrest and Mccullough is from the French of M. Saumet, and it is no dis engagement to Mir. Downing's effective impersonation of Nero to say that the French author has given him nothing as effective ss pr. Birds well-known speech of Spsrtacus to the gladiators.

When China mistreated some British subjects on the steamer Wang in Aug ust last, England demanded full and ample apology, which has been made. When the little Nicaraguan government mistreated some Americans citizens at the Bluefelde, she was privileged to do so without word of protest from our thick headed administration. Of this incident the Cincinnati Enquirer, bourbon democratic newspaper, and the leading one of it's party in the Buckeye state, has the following to say:
 ''The trouble in Blueields, Nicaragua, w..ich attracted so much attention some months ago, has finally come to an end. Amnesty has been granted to the Am ericans who were imprisoned when the Clarence government was overtbrown, and they have been allowed to return to the little Central American town, with the understanding that, should their conduct prove satisfactory for limited perlod, they will be restored to their rights as foreign residents
 1.-The granting of amnesty to the Amer jeans is about the hest solution of 8 very disagreeable affair. It was entire ly wropg for the United States to have permitted Nicaragua to arrest, impris- ou and banish Americans without a trial: but as our government did not ln- terfere, there is every reason to be sat- isfied that the Nicarsguans did not push theIr advantage any further than they did.
 "The Bluefelds affair has reflected anything but credit on the government of the United States. American in- terests in that part of the world have been shamefully neglected, and al though two American warships were at the scene of the ble during the entire period of excitement, American citizens were imprisoned aod hurried of into the interior of the country with out the formality of trial Of any sort. It appears that the naval offl- cers would have been glad enough to interfere, but they were restrained by stringent instructions from Washing ton to avoid iuterposing obstacles in the way of the NIcarsguan govern msnt.
 "The government at Washington has shown 80 much remissness in protect ing American interests abroad that our people should thoroughly understand that when they go to foreign countries they must be prepared to look after thelr own interests, as they have noth- ing whatever to expect from the United States government in the way of pro- lection should they get into trouble.
 sAs result of the occurrence in Blue field, the Mosquito reservation has been merged into Nicaragus's territory, and will henoeforth form an integral part of that republic, the hereditary

THE Chino Valley Champion truth
 fully says: Now that the smoke of the
 battle has cleared and the election past
 let us one and all go to work at once tc
 restore business activity and to revive trade which has been at low ebb for the past two or three months. Let what ever of strife has been engendered during the heat of the political campaign be eliminated and forgotten, and let us again all remember that we are neigh bors, and that many of our interests are common. For another two years we should forget political strife and bend our energies to the development of material industries and the prosperity of our town, our county and our state. Those who have been elected to office high or low, should remember that they are recipients of public confidence as we'll as favor, and they should devote themselves to thorough acquaintance ship with their respective duties and de- termination to perform them with honor and integrity. Those who have failed of may well remember that while not called to public duty, they have es- capped the uncertain worriment of public life, to be perhaps called to higher duties in private life. Let us now look forward, not back.

Two years ago when the official ring of Cochise laid Its beavy hand on the offices of that county, the CITIZEN called attention to the fact and predicted political wind up of the ring.

The result was readily foreseen.

GOVERNOR HUGHES has issued his Thanksgiving proclamation. Itisa a we'll worded and kindly document, full of good will and good wishes to the people of Arizona. It commends them to the care of the Great Keeper and advices them of one accord ito give thanks unto the Lord for his merciful kindness to the children of men," It lacks, how ever, one essential, i. e., an order on one of our popular grocerymen for ia, turkey and cranberry sauce to give thanks on. To the average Arizonan il is much easier to give thanks for the visible present rather than for the fade
 ing past that hovers but lightly on the table laden with thanksgiving tempts- tions. However, the governor is not al fault for the shortcoming complained of

A ACALABASAS PHILOSOPHER.
Points Out the Causes of Our
 Financial Distress
And Intimates that the Great Grover
 is Largely Responsible.
CALABAsAs, A. T.. Nov. I5. '9i.

CALABAsAs, A. T., Nov. I5, '94.
 ED. CTTIzEN:-How few of the thous ands who complain of the ''hard times realize that the chief causes of our bus mess and financial distress consist ir our tolerarion, as people, of indiscreet and expensive habits. Statistics show that We pay for articles not only alto gether unnecessary for comfort but DOS. ltively injurious to health of body and mind, hundreds of millions of dollars Indeed many times the absolute cost of proper food and clothing. Let us look seriously at some of the items.
 Cost of tobacco and cigars during a year, S650, 900, 900; importation of liquor, s6O, 1000; support of grog shops, 3D. OOO,OOO, 900; cost of supporting criminals made such by rum, Sl5,000,OOO; fees in prosecuting the cases of such criminals. 54O, 100000; cost of keeping dogs, ESQ., 100000.
 A people that can spend money in this profuse fashion ought not to con- plain of hard times. It is true that we as people have a right to complain of the manner Tn which our government has managed the finances of the differ ent departments for the last thirty years. and It must be corrected or We are a ruined people In the meantime let us try and stop some of the leaks in our judiciary departments. Times will be hard so long as interest on money will be high. Interest is high when it ex- ceeds the increase of the national wealth, which is 215 to 3 per cent per annum. How IS it possible for the man. ufacturer or the farmer whose average annual profit is 3 per cent and who is working on one-half borrowed capital at six to ten per cent? How is it possible for blm to pay such high interest ex- cept by cutting down the wages of those in his employ to starvation rates?
 When wages are reduced the people consume less, production increases; workmen are dismissed, their time is wasted and themselves and the nation poorer. Nothing can be more certain than the fact that the contraction of the currency by our government, has been followed by a reduction of all values, so that wrong has been inflicted upon all the enterprising business men of the na- ton whose property has been confiscat- ed by this process of contraction.
 All nations are now using their high est arts to buy as cheap and sell as dear as they can. The American people and government cannot too constantly re- member that it is utterly impossible for us as a nation to buy anything cheap from foreign countries that must be bought at the expense of leaving our own good raw materials unused, and our own labor unemployed.
 Our mines in this territory, as well as in other portions of this vast western slope, are now closed down and thousands of enterprislng, hard working miners are out of employment. Would it not be we'll to inform Brother Grover-he surely cannot be aware of the situation or he would stretch forth his hand and rescue us poor laborers from the awful vortex which we are whirling into. We have unbounded confidence in workers and unlimited faith in the practical len.

WE respectfully call the attention of city council and also the board Of super yiscrs to the filling up of Stevens avenue with the city garbage. There IS no doubt but that something should be done to ill up the depression ID the avenue with any such material as can proftably used to that end, but tin cans of all kinds need considerable battering out of shape before they can be econo- mically worked in. Within space or as many yards there are at least 70 or 3o old oil cans that are not only in the way but are a positive menace to pubic travel. These should be gathered up and thrown in the river where they would be out of inc way of doing harm, and measures to prevent @ further dumping of such material in the avenue chould he taken

Seldom, if ever. has more merry company gathered than that at the resi- dence of Professor G. c. s. Southworth on Lincoln avenue last evening, where was held reception to Rev. F. E.

WE sincerely regret the defeat of Edit or Pugh. of the Wilcox Stockman and Valley News, in his race for Legislative council in Cochise county. Mir. Pugh is particularly we'll qualified for the of- flee and would have done good service to his county. Engrossed by hls edi- torlal dutles he was prevented from making even a partial canvass of the county, but notwithstanding this handi- csp he was defeated by a very narrow majority. The heavy vote be received was, to say the least, handsome con- pliment.

Recalled to Mind.

Arthur Lutley, who was admitted to citizenship today. came directly from England several yours ago to visit his brother, Vim. Lutley. He was accom- panied by his brother two years older than himself. They were both under eighteen years of age.
 The first week of their visit they spent at the ranch of their brother in the Dragoon mountains. One morning they were surprised by Geronimo and his band, and the other brother feil pierced through the heart.
 All residents of Tom bstone who then resided here will remember the feeling against the Apgches when the mangled remains of the young man were brought to Tombstone. It recalls only one instance of what the settlers of this county were compelled to stand then, ari the r5ids of Gs-oaima's followers still conu0ue.-Prospector.

claims O; the Mosquito Indians having
 been entirely set aside, Great Britain has not insisted on the fultillment Of the terms of the treaty of Managua, probably because it was apparent that the government at Washington favored the designs of Nicaragua, and the reservation was not actually worth go- ing to any trouble about.
 Certainly, as things have turned out, 1t is much better for all concerned that the whole affair be allowed to pass into oblivion. It has not served to inn prove the prestige of the United States in Latin America, and will certainly discourage the attempts of Americans to develop the trade resources of the Central American republics.

WHENEVER the element representing the ultr9-democratic ring of that party makes overtures to republicans for a political division of public offices it is a safe wager that they have nothing to lose and much to gain by the trade.
