Adopt Resolutions simil ar to Those Of the
Kansas City People.
ST. LOUIS, April 2L-The St Louis
Live Stock exchange took official action
on the alleged beef combine andlwired its
resolutions to Secretary Morton. The
preamble refers to the agitation based
upon the rumored combine among the
packers and the proposed, or actually
taken investigation by the department of
agriculture, and says that agitation is ex-
tremely harmful to the live stock traders,
resulting in a reduction in the price Of
live cattle Of Mt least one dollar per 100
pounds in the past two weeks. and invites
a speedy and thorough Investigation of
the alleged beef combine with n view of
settling the question in the most efficaci-
Gus manner; thus permitting the live
stock business to resume its normal con-
dition.
1t is insisted that the cause of the ad.
vance on beef is a visible shortage in the
cattle supply, and that the benefits have
gone to the cattle raisers more than to
any one else. Another resolution asks
the National Live Stock Exchange to call
n meeting Of its executive committee at
the earliest possible day to take action
looking to a speedy Investigation Of the
alleged beef combine SO that the truth be
known and published.

Secretary Morton Wants That "Pasted in
Peoples Hats"

Secretary Morton Wants That ssPasted in
Peoples Hats
WASHINGTON, April 23.-The statement
which Secretary j. Sterling Morton has
given to the press recently of his views
upon the financial question has been in
terpreted by the press very generally as
an utterance made on behalf of the presi-
dent, and expressing the presidents at
titude. This inference was based largely
upon the circumstance that Morton made
public his statement soon after his return
from the White House, where he had
been in conference with the president and
members of the cabinet. The surmise
however, is proven to be incorrect by de-
malls which were made by both President
Cleveland and Secretary Morton.
The presidents statement, which was
given to the Associated Press by Private
Secretary Thurber follows: 1.-The presi-
dent when asked this evening whether
Secretary Morton's interview upon the
money question might be regarded as
representing his views replied: i am in
no manner responsible for Mr.. Morton's
interview and knew nothing of it until l
read iu in the newspapers. When l have
seen fit to say anything to the people on
the money question OF any other subject
l have thus far found it quite easy to do
SO directly and on my own account"
Earlier in the day Secretary Morton,
having seen the same Interpretation put
upon his interview which had come un-
der the presidents eye, made the follow
ing statement:
Secretary Morton says that he wants it
distinctly understood that in anything he
has said, whether upon the subject Of
beef, or affairs in the department, or on
the money question or any other public C
question, he represents no one but him
self ani has given only his own views.
Both the president and secretary of ae-
riculture spoke without consultation with
each other

Dynamite Used by n Striker.

ST. LOUIS, April 23-An attempt was
made to blow up the residence of Herman
knopke, in East st. Louis. Dynamite
was used and the front Of the house was
badly wrecked, all the windows shat
tered and big hole blown through the
roof. That the wreck was the work of
some striking employe of the Tudor Iron
works is the generally accepted explana-
tion of the crime, for one of the houses
occupants was j. f. Jones, superintend-
ent of the roller mills, who had charge of
the Importation of men to take the places
of the strikers. No one was hurt

A VICTIM OF OsSTlNACv,

If the celebrated case of Mrs. May brick, the American woman who has been for years so vigorously punished in English prisons on the charge of poisoning her husband, had not been kept so prominently before the public, it would be like going into the tombs for consolation to hear again that her friends have new hope of securing her release.
 The case hasSyen been the subject of some diplomatic correspondence and "heaven and earth have been moved" to secure reversal, or at least re. view, of the judgment, but without avail. The English home secretary has turned stone deaf ear to all appeals. Mrs. Maybrick's sufferings in prison, if all accounts be true, have been right ful, and it has often looked as if British obstinacy had supervened because the best American influences had been at work to obtain show of mercy toward the woman. No one who knows any thing about the potency of influential interference in England, as we'll as in America, doubts that if Mrs. May brick had been an English woman rather than an American, the pressure brought upon the home secretary would long ere this have at least se- cured reconsideration of her case.
 It is conspicuous exhibition of some of John Bulls worst qualities-ob- stinacy, insula- prejudice, phlegm and opinionated conservatism. It is an e1- 1 hibition of the characteristics that make him so cordially disliked among foreign nations, but upon which he seems to pride himself.

THE WAY OUT.

There has been a good deal of talk in Phoenix about improving the moral tone of municipal affairs, a movement that is generally endorsed. But just how to do it seems to be the question.
 Apropos of the subject that was good sensible doctrine which Rev. W. E. Richardson preached before the Min isters' alliance when he laid at the door of the best citizens of a commun- ity the responsibility of bad municipal government. In the great majority of cases of the better classes-and there are classes in the country, though we are fond of denying it-furnish the worse elements of the community with the opportunity to commit crimes against the people at large.
 The neglect of the business man is the plugger's chance, and the latter is always ready to take advantage of it and improve it to the utmost. The apathy of the honest citizen, who thinks that politics is too unclean for him to participate in it. is the best ally of the election stealer. Every intelli- gent voter who can be induced to stay away from the polls and to keep his hands of, in reality votes for the per petuation of gang rule.
 There must be revival of the sense of responsibility on the part of the bet ter classes. The corruptionists, as Rev. Richardson points out, and as the bet ter class of citizens know, to their sor- row, are always organized. They never lack for numbers; what they do not have they manufacture. One rascal in the community has as important a voice in the direction of affairs as three good citizens.
 The signs of the times point to g popular awakening in this respect The better classes are organizing anc the fruits of their work are becoming apparent in the large cities of the coun try. The people are beginning to re

THE PRIMARIES.

THE PRIMARIES.
 The Republican primaries yesterday passed off quietly although heavy vote was boiled and there was considerable interest manifested by various candi- dates for city offices.
 The idea, however, in the minds of most voters was to send good, clean representative Republicans to the city convention, and that would have been pretty generally accomplished no mat ter which ticket had been elected, for good men were on both.
 But the interest manifested and the list of gentlemen who will occupy seats in the convention augurs well for both the party and the city. That a clean ticket and progressive ticket from tor to bottom will be nominated is now assured, and that it will be overwhelm ingly elected goes without saying.

TWO GOOD MEN.

The two members of the city council who hold overland under the new law for two years more-are splendid men. The city of Phoenix has never had bet. ter members of the council than R. Allyn Lewis and Frank Moss. Every interest of the city has been carefully guarded by them and that their term of office has been extended is a matter of congratulation for all those who have she welfare of the city at heart.
 It now devolves upon the people to select three more men for the city gov. ernment to cooperate with MT. Lewis and MT. Moss in the administration of it's affairs. Let these three men to be elected in May be of that same stamp of high character, integrity, business ability and progressive ideas as the hold-over councilmen and Phoenix will be indeed fortunate.
 If Phoenix is to grow and improve, if she is to become the metropolis of the southwest, the cola borers of R. Allyn Lewis and Frank Moss must be men who will take hold with them and, like them, fearlessly and honestly battle for the best interests of the city.
 If ticket of this character is elected 1 the future of Phoenix is assured.
