HAS MIR HERNDON NO RECORD?

MT. Herndop, of Yavapai, who pro-
 poses to be delegate to congress from
 Arlzona, tharked God wbrn he WAS
 nominated that he "had no record
 That he staid as bis desk while Gov
 ernor Murphy was making a record.
 Has MT. Herndon TO record? The gen.
 tleman in question was district at orney
 of his county in 1892 As district attor-
 ney he wrote to the attorney general of the terrltory holding that every mine in the county and territory was taxable, and citiHg law that he thought support ed his argument. He would have every mining location in the territory taxed for what the owner valued it at \ min ing claim is a property of mighty un- certain value. It may be worth $1O,000 or s2O.oOO in the eyes of the prospector, and even have good mineral enough to justify that valuation. But mine sold and mine not sold, as every last pros pector and miner in Arizona can testify from experience, are vastly different from each other. MT. Herndon's hold ings did not prevail, though it was no fault of his. Had they gone through. by this tins go out of every 100 of the mining claims of Arizona held at that time would by now have been sold for taxes. No prospector can begin to pay taxes on the prospective valuation of his property. Not ever the output of mining properties can be taxed. as has been held, though there would be more justice in such proposition than in Mir. Herndon's. MT. Herndon can hardly thank God that he hos no record in this regard. When the mining men of Arizona get through with him he will be still jess thankful.

THERE are mutterings Of storm in the democratic camp. The con- plaint can everywhere be heard that the democracy of Pima county is being run and manipulated in the interest of some half dog n men, who are ever up for office and get away with the spoils, to the exclusion and disgust of the dozens of other men who would like to take 8 turn at the pubic crib. One Of two things is certain, say these kickers, and that is the democratic party of Pima county is owned body, soul and brooches by these few men and is run for their special benefit, else the party is so pov- erty stricken in material that outside of its few favorites there are none cornpe- tent to fill an office within the gift of the people. The kickers, however, are of the opinion that the party has men willing to try if an opportunity was 2 iven them by the bosses. Hence the threatened rebellion.

IN one breath the Arizona democracy endorses the national policy of Presi- dent Cleveland, in the next they load it with imprecatiors. They curse him and his h8ndiwoIk for paralyzing the industries of the country. demonetizing silver, sending the Apaches back and taking the soldiers away. They are t:re the very essence of inconsistency, and blow hot and cold as best they think they can fool the people. Such Janus faced work has a tendency to disgust people rather than deceive them

GHOSTLY "REMINISCENCES
Of Russian Tyranny Unearthed in
 in St. Petersburg.

PEORIA, Sept. 25.-Bishop Spaulding yesterday furnished the following writ
 ten statement with reference to the severe
 criticism passed upon his recent A. P.
 A. article in the Nort American Review
 by Bishop Keene and supposed to have
 been inspired by the vatican: "I have
 read Bishop Keene's criticism on my
 article in the Review and as it has not
 been disowned, l must suppose it to be authentic. The important question is
 whether what I have published in the
 Review is true. A thing may be un- fortunately true and this is doubtless
 the bishops meaning, when he calls my
 article unfortunate. He also says that
 it is untimely, but fail to see how this epithet can be applied in any right sense to the honest and dispassionsts discus sion of a subject which now attracts general attention and is not without importance. If my very moderate ex- pression of views on question which is actually before the public and which is of concern to both the church and the country, is to be condemned as unfor- tunate and i'll timed, then rational dis cussion among Catholics is DO longer to be thought of and the Catholic univer- sity is but pretense. If what said of Cardinal Gibbons is true, the least can do is to regret that he should have to express hls regret to the people. Re- grets, however, are idle, and the manly and American thing to do is to confront me with arguments and not to attempt to frlghten me with groanings."
 ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 25.-A number of skeletons with msnacles attached to the arms and legs have been found buried close to the surface of the court yard of the custom house here. A simi- lar discovery was made a few years ago at almost the same place, but upon the former occasion instruments of torture were also discovered with the skeletons. It is stated that a secret chamber of the tyrsnnical regent Biern, the favor ite of Empress Anna, was situated where the remains were found. Anna ruled from 1730 to 1736. It is stated that 20,- 900 victims of Biern's tyranny perished during those six years.

HE United States revenue fell off by more than 20 per cent. in 1894, as con- pared with the 1893 fiscal year.
