NOT SANCTIONED BY LAW.

Since change of executives for Ari- zona was announced there has been much speculation in political cir cles, as to the policy to be pursued by the new governor as regards changes in appointive officers. The more en- thusiastic of Governor Franklin's fol- lowers, and especially those who hope to better their political fortunes, have proclaimed that clean sweep would be made of Governor Hughes ap- pointees. The new governor, while disavowing such intention, assumes the right to make such changes as he may deem expedient.
 Governor Franklin and his friends have, apparently, overlooked the law governing the status of officers ap- pointed by the executive and confirmed by the legislative council. The Revised Statutes of Arizona contain no pro- vision for the removal of officers so appointed and, in fact, recognize no vacancies except by reason of resigna- ton or death, (Sec. 1S5S, Organic Law of Arizona), and the commissions of officers appointed to fill such vacancies continue in force until the end of the next session of the legislature. It is clear that the law does not contemplate the removal of appointive officers, but makes the tenure of office certain until the expiration of their terms.

Delegate N. O. Murphy, in a letter accompanying copy of the bill for the segregation of the Deer Creek coal fields, informs us that to make the pas sage of the bill sure he had it attached to the Indian appropriation bill, and as it was prepared and agreed upon in the interior department, 1t should go through without opposition. It is mainly due to Mir. Murphy's persistent efforts that the coal fields bill has reached its present advanced stage in Congress. The bill is the fifth intro- duced by him and from which all objections that could reasonably be suggested were eliminated. In this, as in all other matters affecting South eastern Arizona, Mir. Murphy has worked with energy and ability, and is deserving of unstinted praise.

The case of l.. c. Hughes confirms the opinion We have long held, that office holding is incompatible with hon est and fearless journalism. The editor who accepts office is muzzled against the errors and corruption of his party and superiors in office. His guns, which formerly may have been trained in defense of the peoples cause, are spiked, and the influences surrounding him discourage that independence of thought and freedom of expression so necessary to efficient journalism. No newspaper can serve two masters, and, if partisan, it should still retain sufficient independence to criticise the policy and acts of its own party and expose cor ruption where it sees it. The interests of the people are paramount to party, and the newspaper that ignores this fact is unworthy of support.

MISSOURI ALL RIGHT.

The silver cause received powerful impetus from the vigorous action of the Missouri Democratic convention at Sedalia, April l5. The gold bugs were routed "horse, foot and dragoon, and solid silver delegation was elected to the national convention, and instructed to support Richard P. Bland for president. The "sound money" men were given no quarter, and every one of the fifty-two delegates and alternates elected is a declared silver man.
 The motion to elect c. C. Maffitt, of St. Louis, delegate by exclamation, brought out storm of protests and was defeated by 599 to 5. Mir. Maffitt, who, as chairman of the state central committee, had used the influence which the position gave him iu vain attempt to bolster up the national administration and the gold standard cause, was effectually squelched. Cold water was thrown upon him, literally, by Excise Commissioner Nick Bell, of St. Louis, who, while addressing the convention, was taunted by Maffitt with being turn coat. Bell resented the imputation by deliberately empty ing a glass of water into Maffitt's face, causing an uproar in the convention. The proceedings abounded in dramatic scenes and exciting incidents.
 The platform is almost exclusively confined to declaration on the finan- cial question and demands "The free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold in the primary, for redemption money, at the ratio of Is to l, without waiting for the action or approval of any other government.
 The resolute stand taken by the Missouri Democracy for free coinage will encourage and strengthen the silver forces in other states and especially in Iowa, Illinois and Michigan, where the contest is close between the opposing gold and silver forces. It now looks like no idle boast that the National Democratic convention will be con- trolled by the advocates of free silver coinage.

KILLED BY MATABELES.
A Former Globe Resident Meets His
 Death In South Africa.

General Roskruge received dispatch from Victoria, South Africa, April 16, saying, Palmer, Johnson and Ham mond killed" The dispatch was signed by Enoch Kenyon, friend of Mir. Roskruge, and well known Ari- zonan and member of Tucson lodge No. 8, F. & A. M. Mir. Kenyon is in charge of Q mine in Mashonaland, and the fact that he wired the killing of the three men as above noted, is evi- dent that they too were Tucson men and known to Mir. Roskruge, but inasmuch as the dispatch contains only the surnames of the parties killed, 1t is not easy to locate them. It is, however, thought that Nick Palmer and Poppy Johnson are two of the parties men, tioned, as both are believed to be in South Africa, but the identity of Ham, mond is still question of doubt. A year or so ago Poppy Johnson was Tn British Columbia, later he was in Pres colt, and is just as liable to be in South Africa as he is to be in any other sec ton of the earth. Palmer has not been here for many years. rs.--Tucson Citizen.
 The Journal Miner also believes that the Palmer referred to above is un- occasionally H. N. Palmer. He left Prescott for the South Africa gold fields some time last fall, being joined in the trip at New York by w. H. Johnson, Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix railroad conductor. Letters from Mir. Palmer recently received stated that he and Mir. Johnson were together near Buluwayo, 80 it is req sonable to believe that of the man y killed in that section Mir. Johnson is included in the list. It was at Mir. Hsmmond's request that Mir. Palmer was urged to go to Matabeland, and the coupling of both names in the horrible fate which the above dispatch leads one to believe as true, gives to it, uufortu- nately, verifcation of truth. "Nick' Palmer, as he was familiarly known, had many friends in this section and all over the coast, and the tidings of his death will be received with sincere regret by all.

MANY PROSPECTS BUT FEW
 MINES.

One of the chief obstacles to the rapid development of the miuing in- dustry in Arizona is that the country is covered with mining locations upon which scant development work has been done-insufficien to establish value, the locators hoping by an ap- pearance of ore near the surface, or the proximity of their claims to mine of established or probable value, to effect sales at extravagant prices.
 There was time when speculation played an important part in mining pursuits, and its disastrous effect is apparent today in almost every mining district in the West. Abandoned claims and decaying mills and smelters tell, more eloquently than words can depict, of the millions wasted and of hopes unrealized.
 Investors have learned wisdom by dearly-bought experience and there is a growing disposition to apply the same rules in calculating the probable result of mining venture, as govern the business world generally. Of course, there are still dishonest and incompetent operators in the mining profession who thrive by deception, but their schemes are yearly growing more precarious and less lucrative.
 The prospector and miner appear to be slowest to comprehend the lesson of past speculation and failure, as many of them still cling to the forlorn hope of becoming suddenly rich. They often value their claims by the number of years they have waited for purchaser as much as by the development done or ore in sight, and the sale of ground near them is sufficient reason for adding thousand or two to the price asked for the property.
 The law is at fault in not limiting the number of locations which one man may make, and to this more than to any other cause-save the depreciation of silver-must be ascribed the unsatis- factory condition of mining at the present time. The desire to grasp everything in sight not only defeats itself by compelling a distribution of work where concentration might de- velop value, but it discourages pros- prospecting and repels capital. The provision embodied in the law by the last Legislature, compelling the locator to sink a l0-foot discovery shaft on every claim within ninety days after making the location, and before the same can be recorded, is an excellent requirement and the law should be again amended by limiting locator to two claims ou single lead.
 With the present improved and economical processes of reduction, the quantity of ore in sight is a more reliable indication of value than high assays, and considerable development is absolutely necessary to attract the attention of purchasers.

Pete Garrett, deputy sheriff of Dona Ana county, N. M., has now in hook Luis Herrero, one of the supposed murderers of Al Fountain, and son, who were killed February 1 while on their way from Las Cruces to Lincoln county. Herrero has told more stories of his whereabouts ca the day of the murder than the man who alleged he caught Q deer, in Louisiana, July 4. So far, the circumstances tending to his inculpation carry weight and may be said to be of convincing nature.

The sorrow of those of our cotem- porarles, who have 80 long and so ardently advocated statehood for Ari- zona, is piled up in their sanctums,
 and sticks out like wagon tongue from the bivouac of would-be United States senators, caused by the news from Washington that the bill for her admission is not expected to receive consideration at the present session. Who of our taxpayers that foot terri torial bills do not rejoice that, for a time at least, they are out of the clutches of political cormorants who are striving to live at public expense

The absence of the vulgar ostentation which here- tofore has marred the harmony of off, cial ceremonies was so noticeable as to suggest the thought that our recent strictures upon funkyism at the capital may have had a salutary effect.
