Taylor, A. T. Oct. r, 1894

i EDITOR, ST. JOHNS HERALD: l would like to reply through the columns of the Hearld, to pubi- cation which appeared in the Wn- slow Mail, dated at Springerviae, Ariz., Oct. 5th, 1894, signed J. ! J. Now Mr. J. J. J. don't live n Springerville, but I do know who he is and where he lives, and if De causes to have any more of such unjust articles published l will have his career in Apache County printed Tn such style that will make him pay for his conduct, in this matter. I wish to state the facts to the public in general, l have been in this county for + years, during that time 1 have been absent for about 9 months, so that the people may know that the De- mocratic party did not import a man from New Mexico 10 run for sheriff.
 And furthermore, the spells JJ J. talks about. my leaving the county with, to go into New Mexico with, and to purchase property, was not sheriff spells, but instead was money tEat I earned while l was employed as Chas. Zeigerss range foreman, and I think any one has the right to invest their money where they please. The scurrilous attacked upon me was not made by a dissatisfied democrat but instead it was dissatisfied re- publican, and I know who he is.

Vote for Statehood.

IT is now only about two weeks until the voters of Apache county, as well as the rest of the Territory, will cast their votes for Delegate to Congress, Territorial and County officers. Although, this is what is termed an off year, and generally of not so much importance as a presidential election, we think this is an exception to that rule, as to the country at large, and more es- pecialIy the case with the people of Arizona.
 To the country at large, the great benefit will bo if the demo- cratic party is victorious, that it will permit the present tariff bill to be administered by its friends, and insure its being unchanged for a term of years, and allow the great business interests of the country to adjust themselves to the new con ditions.
 The great importance to the peo- pie of Arizona, is the question of statehood. The long coveted prize IS almost within our grasp. The bill admitting Us as state has al- ready been passed by Democratic House, and was iavorably reported by the committee of the democratic Senate, and because of so much other important business claiming attention in the closing hours of the Senate, was not acted on. That shows beyond cavil. that the demo- cratic party is favorably disposed toward our admission to statehood, :, and vote cast for the democratic Delegate to Congress, and for the democratic candidates for the leg islature is virtually vote for state hood, and it naturally follows that a vote for candidates for the same offices, nominated by any other political party is virtually vote against statehood. The immense benefits to be derived, to the entire people of the Territory, from a change to statehood can hardly be overestimated. Not alone the price less boon of local self government a principal that has been fought foI everywhere by a people who desired to be free, from time immemorial The free advertisement will be worth countless thousands of dol lars. Capital will be attracted by our immense resources which are only awaiting it to be developed.

The Train Robbers.

One thousand dollars is now the price upun the heads of the missing train robbers, To its regular re- ward of $500, Wells, Fargo & Go. have added $200; to this the South ern Pacific company have added $500, completing the S1 ,000 offered for the apprehension of the mis- creants A circular from. Tucson Oct. 3, giving this information also contains full description of the sought-for individuals, Rogers (alias Armstrong; and Dunoman (alias O'brien).
 Nothing of any startling interest developed yesterday in the robbery case. Armstrong and O'brien are still at liberty and clues as to their whereabout appear 10 be entirely lacking. Armstrong is understood to have been seen since the rob bery riding near Tempe upon a large bay horse, supposed to be one stolen from pasture a few miles west of Phoenix. It is branded with triangle with a dot in it.
 Armer is about out of all danger Sheriff Drais. of Pinal county, will start this evening with him for Floranee. He is hastened by the fact that the grrnd jury is in ses- sion at that point to adjourn Sat- urday afternoon and he wants Armers case to go before this term of court-Gazette.

 Last Sunday night about nine o'clock one of the most brilliant comets ever seen in this section tracked across the heavens north of Florence, from west to east. It size was enormous. aud it left in its wake perfectly dazzing tail of fire. It appeared to strick earth in the vicinity of Pinal mountains, north east of the city. The whole of Florence and the surrounding country was brilliantly illuminated, and during the flight of the comet, it was as easy to see any object as in broad day light. Six minutes from the time the comet app cared to come in contact with the earth two terrific explosions were plainly heard.-Florence Tribune.

SanlOW'S Strength.

An Associated Press dispatch o the 24th'says that Sandow tried tc lift the wonderful Mrs. Abbott. to day, and made the greatest failure of his life. The little woman weighs less than a hundred pounds, and was a complete puzzle to the man who lifts over 5000 pounds.
 Mrs. Abbott stood on tha carpet at first and told Sandow to lift her up. He grasped her around the waist and in a second she shot up in the air.as if she had been sent from n cannon. She flew out oi his hands and he caught her as she came down.
 "You're like a feather" said San dow.
 "Wait till I step on this board" said Mrs. Abbott, laughing.
 When she stepped upon the board Sandow placed his arms around her slender waist. He bent his knees and held his arms close to bis sides. He began to lift gradually. Mrs. Abbott did not budge. Grad ually the man increased his power. She was as immovable as an anchored column. Then the strongest man on earth exerted all his power. The slender little ninty eight-pound woman did not move an inch. Then Sandow took off his coat and met with the same result.
 Then they tried an experiment with stick. It was part of a pole such as portieres are hung on. Mrs. Abbott held the pole perpendicular Iy lightly between her fingers, and told Sandow to try and force it down. He did his level best, but it would not go. It seemed that any one would have strength enough to force it from Mrs. Abbott's light grasp, but no living person has, ap- parently, for Sandow ought to be able to do 1t, if any one could.
 Sandow was simply paralyzed with wonder. Lifting is Shadows strong point. He said frankly that as long as Mrs. Abbott stood on a piece of board. his strength was of no avail.

Tie Ban of the LaW RemOTed From AL Persons Who are
 Affected.

Through the Department of State President Cleveland has issued a proclamation of amnesty and par don to all persons who have been convicted of polygamy under the teachings of the Mormon church. It is as follows:
 By the President of the United States of America" A Proclama- ton.
 "Whereas, Congress, by statute approved March. 22d, 1882, and by statutes in furtherance and amend mcnts thereof ,5defnes the crimes of bigamy, polygamy and unlawful CO habitation. .,in sthe territories and other places within the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States, and prescribed a penalty for such crimes and
 Whereas, on or about the sixth day of October: 1890, the Church Of the Latter Day Saints, commonly known as the Mormon church, through it's president, issued maE- iiesto proclaiming the purpose of said church no longer to sanction the practice of polygamous mar riages, and calling upon all mem bers and adherents of said church to obey the laws of the United States in reference to said subject matter; and
 "Whereas, on the fourth day of January, A. D. 1893, Benjamin Harrison, then President of the United States, did declare and grant a full pardon and amnesty to cer- tain offenders sunder said acts upon condition of future obedience to th2ir requirements, as is fully set forth in said proclamation of am- nesty and pardon and
 "Whereas, upon the evidence now furnished me, l am satisfied that the members and adherents of said church generally abstain from plural marriages and polygamous cohabitation and are DOW living in obedience to the laws, and that the time has now arrived when the in- terests Of public justice and moral ity will be promoted by the granting of amnesty and pardon to all such offenders as have complied with the conditions of said proclamation, including such of said offenders as have been convicted under the pro- visions of said acts
 Now, therefore, l, Grover Cleve- land, President of the United States by virtue of the power in me vest ed, do hereby declare and grant a full amnesty and pardon to. all per sons who have in violation of said acts committed either of the of lenses of polygamy, bigamy, adul- try, or unlawful cohabitation under the color of polyamous or plural marriages, or who having been con- victed of violations of said act, are now suffering deprivation of civil rights in consequence of the same excepting all persons who have not compiled with the conditions con tained in said executive proclama- ton of January 4,1893.

He Brought His Gall.

Does it not look little fresh on the part of the Englishman, r. T. Aspinwall, nominee on the republi- can ticket for Councilman, who has only been a citizen of the United States since April 29th, 1892, who wants to make laws in Arizona, in favor of corporations and not for the wageworkers' we think it will be advisable to all of the interests of Apache county, to let this young Englishman remain at home and season out a little, and become a more accustomed to our laws and institutions before jumping right into making laws for Americans. Yes by all means let him postpone that Palace. car ride.

Ben Heney, president of the re- publican clubs of Arizona, and J. B. Woodward, secretary of:the same. have both handed in their resigna- tions as officers and members of this organization. MT Heney giving Us to understand as his reason for this action that he could not, as q reputable citizen and lifelong re- publican, support N. O. Murphy for congress, Ben Heney is one of the brainiest republicans in Arizona and has held office of great respon- sibilitY under the party and the fact of his withdrawal from Mur- phys support is very significant. Judge Woodward has been for the two years chairman of the ripubli- can central committee of Maricopa county, and he, like many others able republicans, believes that Oak es Murphy is an unfit man for the position he seeks. Ben Heney ex- perted the books of the loan con- mission, of which Gov. Murphy was chairman, and the disreputable not to say dishonest, methods pur- sued by this commission disgusted Mir. Heney beyond measure. Re- publican voters laugh at the expose of Frank Heney in connection with this grabbing regime, but before he gets through with them their laughter will turn to tears.-Arizo- ma Gazette.

There are six military posts in Arizona. The report says:
 Notwithstanding the disposition to withdraw the troops from Ariz- ona, I believe the policy to be un- wise as long as there are more than 35,000 semi-civilized Indians in the territory as wards of the govern ment. The presence of a strong military force is necessary to insure discipline among many of the In dains as we'll as to secure the safety people and prevent encroach- ments of both Indains and whites upon the rights of each other.- Phoenix Gazette.

A VOTE for Herndon is vote for stateh pod. A vote for Murphy is a vote for continuance of terri iorial government as we'll as a vote for corporation control of all legis- lation, both territorial and national.

HERNDoN and Campbell :! What could we want better than that com bination? A sure winner.

The most thorougly surprised man in Phoenix yesterday morniug was George Heiiman, a blacksmith, near Five points. The occasion of his surprise wac warrant for his arrest for a crime committed in Illinois last March. Heilman was a resident of Indianola, Vermillion county. There was shortage ol S3,0G0 in the funds, land asimultane ous absence of Heilman, He was indicted for embezzlement, and the hunt for him was put under the di- rection of John E. Andrews, of Chi cago, of the revenue service. Mr. Andrews learned that Heilman had two brothers-in-law, Frank and Henry Baum, living near Phoenix, and he suspected that he had come here.-Arizona Republican.

ONE of the Imaginable incidents in thls campaign Is to note how hard the republicans are begging demo- crats to vote for them, and the next night they mount the rostrum and abuse the democrats like pickpock cts. This is a year when these e. publican "cOaxers" will get fooled. The democrats are on to their sly work and they will vote irticket straight,

But cotton shows much stuhhornness af-

seemed fruitless and they were not will

morrow's receipts at New Orleans was
