Thousands of Taxpayers Charged with Fraud.
Corrupt System in Illinois that
 Fosters False Swearing.
The Assessors of Chicago Are Guilty of N alfeasance in Office by Per-
 mitting This to Occur.

SPRINGFIELD, H., Sept. 2S.- Special. 1.-The most sensational re- port ever issued by state bureau was made public tonight by the Illinois bu- reau of labor statistics. It charges that the great majority of the wealthy taxpayers of Illinois, and more espe- cially of Chicago, are perjurers; that the assessors are guilty of malfeasance in office; that the present financial con- dition of Chicago is directly traceable to the corrupt system of taxation, and the "deplorable condition of working men is due to the liberty destroying methods of taxation which prevail in Illinois"
 The report is made up of mass of tables compiled from official reports of assessors, banks, real estate transfers, boards of equalization and various municipal bodies to which the agents of the bureau had access. After de- claring that it is the purpose of the re- port to expose existing methods of tax ation in Illinois, with special refer ence to their effect upon labor inter- ests, the report proceeds to review the work of former bureaus.
 The stand is taken that it is idle to dwell upon the wages and condition of the average wage-earners of the state. The bureau contends that their cor- dition is proved by evidence so clear and abundant that the collection of any further statistics merely go to prove it would be wasted effort.
 The bureau takes the position that "taxation is the chief instrument of tyranny"

out his eyes. He procured a short stick through which he thrust two sad dler's needles, the same distance apart as his eyes, and then, holding this pe culiar instrument of torture in his hands, he repeatedly prodded his eyes with the sharp points. A keeper heard the commotion in Perry's cell, and he promptly put stop to the hor- rible self-punishment. Prison Physi- elan Sawyer attempted to make an ex- animation of the eyes, but Perry was obstinate and would not submit
 He was removed to one of the iso- lated cells in the new building. Here he was put under the influence of chlo- roform and careful examination of the injuries was made. It was discov- cred that the needle had not yet de- stroyed the sight of either, but the un- ruly patient resists treatment so per sistently that inflammation may ce- velop, and the result will probably be total blindness of one or both eyes, He will probably be returned to Mat tewan, as he is undoubtedly insane.

DISGUSTED. Durrant Speaks HarShly
 of Witnesses That Appeared for the
 Prosecution.
They Are Worse Liars than
 AnaniaS of Old.
District Attorney Confident thae He Has Made a Strong Case
 Against the Accused.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2S.-(By the Associated Press.)-An evening paper published an interview with Theodore Durrant in which the pris- oner expressed his disgust at the wit nesses who testified for the prosecu- tion. T wonder that the fate of Ana nias and Sapphira has not overtaken some of them,' he is quoted as saying. Tt is strange to me that they have not been struck dead for what they have said against me on the stand.''
 Durrant expresses confidence at his ultimate acquittal. In the opinion of many of the members of the local bar the counsel for the defense has opened the door for the admission of all the evidence in the Williams G. e at the present trial for the murder of Blanche Lamont. During the examination of Sergeants Reynolds and Burke, who were called by the defense, questions were asked concerning the shoe with the brown stain on the sole, found in the pastors study. The prosecution may claim the right to demonstrate that the stain on the shoe might have resulted from walking around Eman> uel church on the morning that the mutilated body of Minnie Williams was found. Evidence could then be put in showing the condition of the room where the murder was commit ted and the possibility of a person en- tering it getting blood on their feet. The defense will fight any proposition that has for its object getting before the present jury any fact regarding the Williams murder The district attor- ney says he is satisfied that he has put on very strong case and does not like ts take any ctance Of introducing tes- timony that might be declared irreIe- vent by the supreme court
 Not one of Durrants class mates will step to the front and say the accused attended Dr. Cheney's lecture on April 3.

AS Result of Cholera Natives at
 Honolulu Are Suffering.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2S.-(By the Associated Press. .)-The barken- tine, s. G. Wilder, arriving today, brought the first authentic advices from Honolulu received for two weeks.
 Seventy-two people have been at tackled with cholera since the plague broke out. Of that number fifty-two have died. But two white people were among the victims. It is believed the disease is now in check and it is only a matter of few weeks when it will be totally eradicated.
 As the result of the almost suspen- sion of business many Hawaiians are out of work and there appears to be real distress among them. A relief station has been opened up at which all the natives may secure supplies of food and raiment. The quarantine by other islands is still maintained against Honolulu.

CRICKET. An Interesting Game at
 the Park Between the Prescott Team and Phoenix. The Latter Club Wins After a Hard-Fought Game. Both Sides Make Some Excellent PIays-Visitors Are Prostra-
 ted by the Heat.

The cricketers were astir early yester- day morning, and after partaking of breakfast went to the park in body for hard days work.
 The attendance of visitors in the morning was not very heavy, but, un- mindful of that fact, the game was called at 10 o'clock, with the Prescott team ct the wickets and Phoenix in the field. The members of both teams pre- sented fine appearance. They were all athletes and nimble on their feet, as was shown during the progress of the game.
 Armitt and Dr. Jessop bowled for the Phoenix team. Both men were up to snuff and did some excellent work, each bowling out five men. sArmitt made a hit in the first inning by making a run ing catch of the ball, falling to the ground but retaining his hold on the ball, putting out Lemon Prescott re- red from the wlckets with 18 runs to their credit.
 Phoenix then went to the wickets. They took life easy, making good plays and adding to their score. They retired at noon for lunch, with four men still at the wickets and score of five ahead of their opponents.
 Lunch was served in the pavilion and the hungry felders made short work of the good things in abundance before them, in which they were joined by the ladies present.
 oE naf A, 1frae 1,t,o the play was resumed The heat did not affect the home hSxgs, but told on the Prescott players, and MT. Jones of that club WAS prostrated and had to leave the field. The bowlers also were slightly overcome and Massicks, Lemon, Penn brook and Pascoe each took turns as bowlers.
 In the second inning. when Prescott retired from the field, the score stood 64 to 3l in their favor, leaving Phoenix 24 to make. They made up that score and when the game closed Phoenix won with | but thlee men out.
 Both teams did excellent work, but the visitors were at slight disedvant. age on account of not being used to the climate, but they showed they were nervy and that the mountain city has excellent material.
 The game was played with the most good -natured feelings on both sides. During the afternoon the numb Der of spectators increased and the grandstand was nearly filled. Many ladies were | present, who evlnced considerable en- | thusiasm. The game is new to Phoenix and the majority of the spectators dld not understand the rules of the game. but they applauded just the same when brilliant play was made. The score by innings Was as followe /:

While ! riding along on mule he observed thicket of mesquite trees ahead of him. The day was warm and McGinn thought @ few minutes rest under the shelter of the trees would not be amiss, He went to the spot, and tying his beast. made his way into the thicket and sat down. He happened to glance over head and WAS momentariIy startled to ind a human skull grinning at him. The deaths head WAS stuck on 8 limb. and McGinu felt the cold shivers playing tag along his spinal column. Sald McGinn: "Be gosh, it WAS not pleasant company to be alone with that grinning sk Ill, for have been a long time trying to chase the Death Angel from my own track" After the sudden shock was over he began to look around him, and scattered over considerable ground he found human bones. slouch hat, a pair of shoes, B pair of overalls and woolen shirt. McGinn suspected foul play, and made an examination of the skull and clothes to see if there was any bullet holes or knife cuts. but he could discover no indications of vio- lence. How the skull got in the tree is mystery, but McGinn is of the opinion that some one else had discovered the remains and had placed the skull where he found it and did not notify the au- thorities, for fear of being detained as q witness.

The defeat of DIR. Wright for the
speakership does not detract from his
standing as Republican nor his abil
ity and usefulness as mem Der.
As the nominee OF the Republican
caucus he becomes one of the
leaders on the floor on the Re
publican side, and is in a posi-
ton to accomplish much good both for
his party and his county. He is tire.
less and energetic worker and can. per-
haps, secure better results for the terri
tory on the floor than in the chair.
Now that the house is organized it

getic and ceaseless worker. both in the
interests of Republicanlsm and his con-

PHOENIX. JANUARY aa. 1895.
CHEAP LA Dor.

The exodus of the cotton mills from
Massachusetts, has stirred up the Bos-
ton Herald anew on the tariff question
1t is almost tempted to say "served you
right" to the mill owners because they
opposed free coal, and it tells them that
they could have had their fuel at a
much lower rate if the Nova Scotia
mines had been allowed to send their
output to Massachusetts free OF duty.
It is narrow minded writer on econ
omics who cannot understand that the
Republican idea of protection was a ma
tional policy. It was for the protection
of all American industries needing pro-
lection in order to insure the payment
OF good American wages. 1t was not for
the protection of the cotton manufac.
turer at the expense of the coal miner,
manufacturer at the expense OF the
sheep raiser. The Herald's party came
into power with the avowed purpose OF
reducing the price of everything, the
wages of the workingman with the rest
Many manufacturers said they could
stand it if the people really wanted it,
but gave notice in advance that cheap
wages would have to come.
The cotton manufacturers are first to
adjust their affairs to the new condi.
tions in way that speaks of perma-
nency. They will transfer mills to the
south, where they can get cheap labor.
They will 60 from the state where the
law makes nine hours days work, to a
state where no limit exists and where.
for the time being at least, they will
have no need to fear the enactment OF
such laws. The main concern of the
mass of the population of South Caro-.
Ina and Georgia is to have work to do
at any price that will enable them to
live. And they have been in this con-

dition 80 long that it takes little indeed
to satisfy their wants.
1t is too late now to charge the re-
sponsibility for the loss to Massachu-
sets to the failure of free trade. The
fuel bills in the mills is a small matter
compared with the labor bills. The
manufacturers have got to make goods
at less cost or 90 out of business. Tariff
reform according to the Herald's idea
has brought about the conditions which
make it necessary for them TO do so.
And they are going where they can
make cheaper goods.
