STILL cENsoRIoUsLr INCLINED.

The Prescott JoURSAL-MrSER makes a most ridiculous confession. The Prescott papers, it says, have printed acres and acres of argument on the subject of the restoration of Fort Whipple. Yet in spite of these acres the post has steadily gone to decay. Probably the argument vas Of the variety employed in the JoURSAL-MTNER's attack upon the Republican. We are sorry that petty jealousy imPsirs the JouKNkL- MNER'S usefulness in the present emergency. Hssssyamper methods will not bring about the enlarge Dent of Fort WhiPple. PheniI Republican.
 Replying to the above, the argu- ment used by Prescott papers in favor of the rebuilding of Whipple, and of making it permanent. and large military post were the same as that recently used by our Pheni1 contemporary. So far as any attack on the Republican by the JOURNAL MINER is concerned we were not aware of any having been made. A false aspersion on the papers of Prescott, by the Republican was re- Sented, but no "Hasssyamper meth ods" were used aud no petty jeaI- ousy shown. If Cur contemporary will extract the beam from its own eye. before attempting to censo riously, pull the notes from others eyes, it will probably discover tha. the petty jealousy, if it exists at all is found at home. The JOURNAL. MINER, instead of possessing any jealousy toward any one which will help to build up the interests ol this section, has but the kiudliesl feelings for them.

and Arizona Central Railway not appearing on them al all. Good evidence of this assertion will appear later in this article.
 When MT. Bullock built his road, he received $i00OO in bonds on the completion of each ten miles of it, or, at the rate of $I0lO per mile. When the load was completed, he bonded the road for Sl.5JO,OO or a little over S2O,OoO per mile, ar this, S775,OOO was issued a> first mortgage bonds and S775.OOO in second mort gage bonds.
 I, will be remembered that after building SC ,ersl miles of the road, he practically forced upon the Peo- pie of Prescott about SjOOOO of these bonds, by representing that he WAS unable to meet his obligations, aud this sum of money was neres- sary to enable him to complete it. \ subscription was taken up, and something less than the above amount was paid aud the subscribers afterwards received the bonds in exchange. A few years later, Mir. Bullock had one of his agents Pur chase sll the bonds he could, the price ranging from forty cents upwards. One man, who is keen and shrewd business man, too, re- marked only few days ago, when the question of the P. & A. C. bonds selling for ten or fifteen cents on the dollar was being discussed, remarked that he had received seventy five cents on the dollar for his. What be had was a genuine r. X 4. C. bond, whereas the bonds now upper most in .he minds of the public are the Yavapai County R. < R. bonds. The P. & 4. C. bonds did sell at one time, and were so quoted in 6nan cial papers, at ten cents on the dol lar, and the entire issue of them, amounting to sl,55O,OOO, is not now worth ten cents.
 It can be readily seen how the quotation of the P, < A. C. bonds has been confounded with the YaYspai Co. R. & R. bonds and how the ten-cent story was started.

Our usually sfable and amiabls contemporary, the Phenix Herald, jumps on the JoURNAL-MiNER, with its hob nailed boots, claiming that We intimsted that the policy of the press Of PheniX has been antagonist to Prescott" No such intimation has ever been published in the JOURSAL-MINE and our Pheni1 con temporary must be sensitive in the extreme to construe such a meaning from the language used. The inti- nation was that the press of that city is so devoted to the advance ment of local interests that they seldom found space or time to ad- vocate any special measure sdvanta- geous to other sections of the terri tory. The notice was 8 compli- ment rather than a criticism for their devotion to their local inter ests. Nothing was said about their being antagonistic to Prescott or any other section, no intimatiou of such Q thing was made and the Ian guAge used is not susceptible of such construction. The article which the Herald criticises was one commenting a PheniI paper for making especial effort on behalf of this section, and it was referred to las somewhat of an innovation of the policy heretofore pursued by the press of that city" the policy re- ferred to being outlined above. Our contemporary should know the JoURSAL-MNER we'll enough to know that when it has anything to say on any subject it says it in Ian guAge which cannot be mistaken, and not by intimation or insinua- ton.

 The effort to get Mir. Cleveland to place the fourth class postmssters under the civil service rules, should have been made earlier; then its promoters might have escaped the charge of merely trying to keep democrats in office, which is now very properly brought against them. Joe Blackburn has drawn a public salary SO long that it goes hard with him to have to give it up. Knowing his reelection to the Senate to be impossible. he has began scheming for the democratic nomination for governor. His antics in the last campaign ought to make him an easy man for the republicans to defeat.
 Looking at the Fitzsimmone- Sharkey fight st this distance from it, through the press reports sent out, 1t appears very much ss though FitZsimmons won the fight by a fair knock out blow. Shsrksy failed to wake up for quite . while after receiving one of Fitz's swinging blows, and that foul with his knee looks very Hshy indeed. But then, one may be mistaken.

4 C0NFUsION OF BONDS.

The proof asked for by the JoCR-
 NAL-MINER recently, in regard to the
 Yavapai Railroad and Redemption
 Bonds having been sold in New York
 for ten or fifteen cents on the dollar,
 and that certain parties who now
 favor the payment of these bonds were the purchasers, has not been forthcoming. While, as previously stated, if this transaction has taken place, it would make no difference as to the legal status of the ques- ton, yet, so far as the moral obliga- ton is concerned, there is no doubt that many might be influenced by it. It would eliminate the ''inno- cent purchaser from tho trsnssc- ton. Investigation of the question leads us to the honest conviction that no speculation has taken place, as charged. That the bonds are still held by the original purchasers. That no sale of them, or any part of them, ever took place at ten or fifteen cents on the dollar. Now, if any one is in possession of any facts contrary to this statement, we would like to see them. IL is a fact that very many people here do not know the difference between the real, genuine P. X A. c. bonds and the so called P. & A. C. bonds, but which in reality are known as the Yavapai County Redemption and Railroad Bonds, the word Prescotts

 CINCINNATI, O., Dec. "A collision occurred at 8 o'clock thls morning, near Storrs' Station, on the Balti- more & Ohio Southwestern railroad, between an accommodation train from Cochran. Indiana, and . special made up of . passenger coach and 2 private cars. The special was carry. ing all the general officers of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern, who were out to make . thorough inspection of the road. The en- gineer and conductor of the special had orders to follow fifteen minutes behIn1 a preceding regular train, and keep out of the way of accom- modation train No. 22, which had the right of way. The special stopped at Storrs, where it should have waited for No. 22, but the engineer and conductor both forgot the orders concerning that train. and pulled out. Three-fourths of . mile from StorTs the trains came together. There was . fog, which prevented seeing clearly, 90 neither engineer expected . collision until the shock came.
 Engineer John Price and Fireman Homer Dixon, of the special, were instantly killed.
 General Traffic Manager George F. Randolph was severely injured.
 General Passenger Agent J. Chese- borough was thrown through a win dow and his face was severely cut.
 Fred. Moore, chief clerk of the chief engineer of the Big Four, was badly cut.
 Charles F. Whiting, a passenger from Lswrenceburg, Iud was badly injured.
 Charles Chapman, a brakeman of the special, was bruised, as was also R: $. Johnson, superintendent of telegraph.
 L. Zepernich, of Delhi, clerk in the office of the engineer of way maintenance, has died from his injuries.
 General Passenger Agent Chese- borough had eleven stitches taken in and about his face, and is suffering from g slight concussion of the brain. He was taken to the Grand hotel.
 The engineer of No. 2 is badly hurt, and \. H. Sexton, conductor of No. 22, and F. Harvey, baggage are severely bruised. Mrs Alexander Paterson, of Aurora, Ind, IS severely hurt.

In its discussion of the Yavapai railroad bonds the JoURNAL-MrNER
 has aimed to be just and fair. Our contemporary now says that should the ?. < A. C. bonds be refunded, the entire burden of their payment would fall on Yavapai county, with the chances that hould Coconino county win its suit, the taxpayers ot Yavspai would have to go down into their pockets and pay an ad- ditioaal one hundred thousand dol lars in the premises" This state ment of the case is misleading, in Asmueh as Yavapai county has already received from Coconino one third of the amount of the bonds. Should the courts declare the bonds valid, CocOnino would not press her suit against this county, as she would have DO valid claim. But in case the bonds were declared valid, and Coconino county should also sustain her suit, 6 condition wholly unlikely, it would only make Yava- pal county responsible for the full original amount, and not for the amount of the bonds plus $l00,OOO, as the latter sum has already been received on them.

PHARIsATCAL JoURNALIsM

The II am holier than thou" press has broken out again in a fresh spot. It is amusing to the fraternity and must be equally amusing to the reading public to witness the ex- pressions of self righteousness and egotistical assersions of self honesty iudulged in by a newspaper here and there, now and again, the assertion always being coupled with an insinustion that every paper dis agreeing with it on any proposition has been purchased or IS actuSted from meTcenary motives. Such self righteous papers are, of course, comparatively few, but their dema
 gogical asPertions on the press of the country are totally unwarran,ed.
 We believe that the newspaper busi-
 ness of the country. both of the
 metropolitan press and country
 press, is conducted on as honest busi-
 ness principles as any other business.
 We believe that the men engaged in
 it, as class, are as conscientious and
 s honest as any class of business
 men. They no doubt have the same
 frailties and human weaknesses as other men. their judgment may not
 be any better, aud they make mis-
 takes, but We believe that they are
 sctuated from as pure, unsel6sh and conscientious motives as the average
 business man. In all professions and in all business, an occasional exception to the general rule of honesty is found, and the same occurs in the newspaper business, and hence occasionally a man IS found in the business who is black mailer by instinct, who IS dishonest from principle and who adopts this profession as more congenial to him than others. A man who is found honest aud upright in his ordinary dealings with his fellow men, will be found honest in his business. When ever you see an individual proclaim ing against the honesty ol his fellow citizens, it is generally a safe propo- sition to watch him closely in any business transaction. The same rule will apply to newspapers which make general proclamatIons against the honesty of the press, while perching themselves on sell built pedestals of honesty and upright mass. It is true that all individuals are more or less influenced by their environments. but the truth'of this is no more evident as apph ed to than than to any other branch of business. The true man in any business seeks to elevate his calling, rather than to bring 1t into disrepute by decrying the motives of all others engaged in it except himself. Who ever heard ot a preacher or a lawyer declsiming against the honesty or integrity. of those engaged in these l Why is it then that it | remains for those engaged in the business to bring dis ,redit on their calling by unfounded | and insiuuations against others engaged m itf The man who foes it simply makes a case against himself in SO doing, as the public, 1 convinced by what he says, does lot stop to discriminate in his favor. ,ut, in making up its mind, includes lim with all others in the profes- ion.

The sale of the Coconino Sun to the Flagstaff Democrat. and the consolidation of the two papers as a democratic sheet, is quite a loss to the republican party. NIT.

The Pheni1 Gazstte seem.

The PheniX Gazette seems some what alarmed lest the next legisla- ture which is overwhelmingly dem- ocratic may be corrupted by repub- licans. It says, "a powerful repuh- licau lobby is preparing to entrench itself in PheniI this winter for the purpose of corrupting the legisla- ture." The claim has always been made by democrats that democrats are incorruptible.
