The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1894-01-20

If the essay suggested remedy or
remedies for the taxation evils portrayed
in it, he could discuss them intelligently.
He recognized the justice of imposing
upon every man tax according to his
worth. He believed an income tax was of
all taxes the most equitable if possible of

that they all were bought to do wrong,
but Influences were brought to bear upon
them, that they could not and did not

the promises made the farmers when
soliciting their sutfrages.

Prescott Honors oakes.

It was a brilliant gathering which assembled in Pattou's opera house on Thursday evening to honor our dele gate-elcct to congress, Hon. N. O.. Murphy. It was purely non-partisan in its nature. as democrats joined hands with republicans in paying their res poets to the gentleman who will repre- sent Arizona, and not any single party. in the halls of congress. The rccep- ton was under the auspices of the county republican central committee, and Chairman Akers otficiated as mas ter of ceremonies and he proved ali ex- celent host and spared no pains to make the occasion pleasant one to all present. After the usual handshaking and greetings, dancing was indulged in until about midnight, the music be- ing furnished by the Prescott brass bspd'.-Japvpal'iIipsr

There is fear among investors that Arizona may take advantage of the clause providing for the payment of the principal ''in the currency of the United States to pay it in silver, though the interest must be paid in gold coin.
 But for this, the writers say. the bonds might be readily placed at q premium of per cent.--Republicap.

Afraid of silver.

The loan commission is confronted
 by new and unexpected difficulty in
 the business of placing the funding bonds, difficulty so serious that un- less the conditions from winch it arises are removed it may be necessary to ask for rcmodcllng of the funding act. Governor Hughes yesterday re- ceived Il letter from firm of New York capitalists with whom Inc has teen negotiating for the placing of $4OO,O0O of the bonds. The letter
 says that recent movements in capital point to growing objection to invest, ment west of the Mississippi in secur- ities whose principal is not payable in gold. On that account, the firm says, all attempts to place the Arizona fund.- ing bonds have failed, though there was q recent sale op tbe mavket at 9a.

X Slight Sensation.

Judge Hawkins created slight sem sation this morning at the opening of court. He took occasion to criticise the report of the late grand jury for calling attention to and criticisin2 Treasurer Oliver for absenting him- self from his office. The court said that he failed to notice this structure in the report when it was presented or he should not have discharged u c jury without full investigation of this office. Judge Hawkins said that he intended making personal exam ination of said office and if necessary he would call special grand jury for the purpose of fully investigating this subject.
 The court then eulogized Mir. Oliver and pronounced him d very efficient officer.
 In reference to the report it may be stated that two of the committee ap- pointed to investigate the treasurer's office are among the most prominent merchants and citizens of Prescott, and are also of the same political faith as Treasurer Oliver. Hon. Hugo Rich ards, another of Prescott's most prom inont citizens and democrat also, was foreman of the grand Jury which adopted the report submitted by the committee. The little episode in court has been the subject of much discus sion on the street, aud public opinion seems to favor the grand jury Journal Miner.

THURSDAY next will be observed as the annualday of thanksgiving through out the land. Since Thanksgiving day year ago many hundreds of people have met with untold privations and business reverses without number have come upon those who little anticipated the ruin which q democratic admins tration has wrought. But the tide has turned and the recent landslide should offer theme of thanksgiving that will make this years celebration one of un- usual joyfulness. When you eat your turkey next Thursday do not neglect to give thanks for this greatest of all blessiugs-the redemption of the coun- try--aud remember to be grateful for small blessings, too. Don't forget, either. that while you may be in much poorer circumstances than you were a year ago, there are thousands of wretched families in the laDd who will be glad to get morsel of bread and dream of turkey. THE SUN wishes it's readers an enjoyable Thanksgiving.

TALKING about climates, if the health seeker can find a more even, bracing atmosphere than we have ex- pariencod in Flagstaff this autumn he should hie to it without delay. The skylight city is probably freer from dust than any other place in Arizona, and with almost perpetual sunshine and iuvigoratiug, health-rcstoriug brcezes, together with her picturesque surroundings, she ought assuredly to become renowned as Mecca for iu. validS.

THE total vote of Coconino county this year was l,0l9 out of registra- tium of 1 ,29i. The total vote in 1892 was SIS, an increase of III votes in 1894. The increase would have been much larger but for the change in the election law, which required one years residence before election.

TIE result of woman suffrage in Colorado has fully demonstrated that woman is Il success in politics. In re. gard to the voting of women in that state the Denver Republican says: "Ihe women of the state proved that they could safely be trusted with the ballot. They proved, too, their inde- pendence of thought and action, their freedom from the palrot-likc qualities that the opponents of woman suffrage claimed would characterize their puiit- ical work. They were not mere echoes of the opinions of masculine relatives and friends. As voters, they demon
 stratod many other qualities with which they were not always credited, by men who grudge them the ballot
 They proved their ability to organize, to rise above small piqucs and per sunal grievances, and work together fur the best interests of their staic
 As a whole, their votes were cast from conscientious conviction, the issue be- tween good government and auar- ShiSisc mislule being distinctly made. !"

---,----7------ - TROUBLESOME INDIANS.
The Oraibas Will Be Brought to Their
 Senses by Troops.


 General McCook ou Friday ordered two troops of the second cav airy and two Hotchkiss guns from Fort Wingate into the Moqui Indian settlement. A dispatch received from Indian Agent Wilson stated that the Oraibas Indians had taken and planted the fields of the friendly Indians and threatened further encroachments. Agent Wilson terminated his dispatch with the request that he be sent con- pany of soldiers and two guns, to bring the Indians to their senses.
 At army headquarters fear of col lision was discredited. All the h. dians connected with the trouble are members of the Moqui family and gen. eraIly quiet. The Oraibas, however, have several times been subjected to punishment at the hands of the gov ernmeut for their willfuluess.

The re- ligion of Christ is just and merciful one to those who interpret the Bible co rectIy. and the picturesque and fauciful abode of lost souls is giving place to milder conception of what will be the future state of the unre- pcutaut.

TO the complaints by masters Of the Ocean
Steamship Company Of vessels anchOTing
in the channel and interfering with the

about two weeks ago Capt. Wheaton
states in his communication that he has
had an interview with Capt. O. NJ. Garter,
United States engineer, and was Informed
by him that Venus Point and Four Mile
bend are the only points in the river with
sufficient water for tho anchorage Of
vessels. Capt Garter suggested the Dlac-
ing Of mooring piles at Spirit Island and
Venus Point, and If found necessary.

ceeding $500, and would give a safe an

payment refused. The commissioners
unanimously instructed the county attor-
ney to enter suit against the company at
once for the amount
A claim for $40 damages from J. a.
Perry and William Perry, who compose
the hrm OF Perry Bros. planters at South
over Junction, was read. The land planted
by them is rented from Col J. L. Whatley
whose permission, il is understood, had
been given the county TO extend canal
or drain through the place. Perry Bros.
claimed that they had objected to the
work being done at that time, but in spite
OF this the county forces had gone ahead,
and dug the canal through his water
melon patch, entirely destroying that por-
ton OF his crop. Large pools Of water,
they stated, were left standing on the
land. Their other crops were destroyed,
and fence was torn down by the
county, For all of this they asked the
county TO pay them $40. Maj. BlandfOrd
reported on the matter saying a very
small portion of the tract was planted at
the time, and that the fence taken down
was in such a condition that it was about
to fall anyhow. The claim was referred
to the committee on drainage with power
to act
The matter Of the county drainage work
on the hampton plantation, about which
DR.. j. b. Read, its owner, has constantly
complained, was called up, but the com
mittee was not ready to report The clerk
of the commissioners stated that DR..
Read had given notice that he would sue
the county in November if the matter
was not attended to by that time
The claim Of Ellen W. Graham for COM
pensation for land at Sackville used for
drainage purposes, through which canals
were dug, was taken up, and MIR. George
I. Cam appeared for her, making a state
ment in her behalf He said she had pro-
tested against the county using the land,
but that her protest had not been needed.
He said he did not want to bring suit
against the county but he thought she
had some rights the county ought to re-
spect, and that the county had plenty Of
time to adjudicate the matter. He was
informed that the matter was in the hands
of the drainage committee with power to
act, and that Chairman Carson of that
committee with the county attorney, both
of whom were absent, but that the matter
would be taken up and a conclusion
reached as soon as possible. If this was
not satisfactory to her, DR.. Charlton said
she would have to take such steps as she
saw fit.

A NIGHT AT TaE CIRCUS.
Jolly Nellie MoHenry in the Ring a
the Ths atar Tn-Niaht

Jolly Nellie McHenry in the Ring at
the Thsatsr Tonight.
Savannah had Barnum & Baileys tent
circus yesterday. Tonight it will have
"A Night at the Circus" at the theater,
with jolly Nellie McHenry as the heroine
of the ring. Miss McHenry was to have
been here last night, but her manager
concluded that one circus was enough in
town at one time, and the date of her ap-
pearance was changed. Miss McHeary
is not a new actress to Savannah thea
ter-goers. She has been seen here for the
last two seasons, and has made a hit each
time. 1t is safe to say that she will not be
lacking an audience that for enthusiasm
will equal those which attended the big
tent shows yesterday.
Miss McHenry has for many years
been one of the most prominent figures
among American soubrettes and undoubt-
~ one of the most popular She was one
of the first to appear in the light order Of
entertainments that have since been clas-
sified as farce comedies.
The play in which she is appearing
this year has, according to all accounts,
met with much greater success than any
other stage production in which Miss Nc
Henry has given her vivacious presence.
There is more or less plot to the piece. 1t
introduces her as Nile Electra, a circus
rider, who, having trouble with her man
ager, resigns. The managers seek to
force her to keep her contract, and at
tempt to have her arrested. She goes
to two lawyers for advice, and these
gentlemen of the bar are fascinated by
the queen of the saw-dust arena and be-
come her devoted followers, But the
lawyers have obstacles in the way of
their love-making with the fair Electra
in the persons of their wives. When
Electra discovers the presence of these
better halves she sets about for revenge
on the two erring lawyers. In the last
act she obtains it by getting
them to assume two characters in the
circus, much to their humiliation and the
ridicule Of their associates.
One Of the attractions of the piece will
be the dancing of Senorita Gautier, who is
a favorite dancer here, and has been seen
at the theater for several seasons.

industrial bodies of men in the country,
and its two hundred members represents
a far greater aggregate of wealth than
the great majority of conventions that
assemble in this country.
1t has been in existence now twelve
years, and in that time such has been the
increase of the street railways in the
country and the growth of the member
ship that from q members in 1882 it has
grown to 1870 members in 1898. These fig
ures simply cover the attendance at the
first and last conventions held and by no
means cover the total membership which
is at least a hundred more than the last
mentioned number.
1t is thought that $50 of the street car
men viii be in Atlanta.
The following are the places and dates
of conventions of former years:
