Albert F. Banta, of the Prescott Pick and Drill, has been appointed aid-de- camp on the governors staff, with the rank of colonel. This is purely orna- mental position. We suppose this is the re ward doled out to Colonel Banta for running down and decrying the Ma
 tional Guard of this territory, for the past two or three years, upon every public and private occasion that pre- sented itself The new colonel can now have his commission enclosed in an elaborate gilt frame, hang the same on bis office wall, and then point with pride to it for the balance of his life.

An Inning For StOckman.
Tuma Sun

Yuma Sun
 We are informed by reliable stock raisers that the cattle ranges ln Yuma County never looked so well as they do at present. and that there IS enough grass in the river bottoms to feed ten times the member of cattle running thereon. As consequence range stock is rolling fat, and cattlemen are cor respond1ngly happy, the more so in view of the fact that beefis bringing higher price thls season than It has for years.
 Droughts of the past few years and consequent losses have caused the owners of cattle all over Arizona to deplete their herds, until where thou sands and tens of thousands of hoofs roamed the ranges, today barely hund- reds may be seen. Men who a few years ago were wealthy in the posses sion of theIr herds are today poor men not particularly because of misman- agement, but because of the untortun- ate circumstances W hich rendered their business a poor one and made thelr capital worthless. But if all signs do not fail the horn and hoof will have another inning, and the men whose brands are on the cattle which roam over the valleys and hills will again find themselves in positions of aftiu- ence and ease.

An exchange thus discusses a new phase of the bicycle. "The merits and dangers of the bicycle have been dis cussed to she point of fatigue, but suf- fcient attention has not been called to the immense advantage which the wheel gives to the burglar, the footpad and other criminals. Take, for example, the safe blower who infests small vil- lages, the most common kind of bur glar in these days of electric bank pro- lection. If he walks to his work he Is likely to invite suspicion. A local con- stable may pass the time of night in order to discover who is out so late, or casual wayfarers may be able to Ident- fly him.

LYNCH LAWS ACTION.
A Negro Taken from Jail and Hung
for a Heinous Crime.

Macon, Ga, Jan IA special to the
Telegraph from Unadilla, Ga, says:
Anthony Henderson, the negro who was
arrested Monday night for the murder Of
old man George Sumner and attempted
assault upon his daughter Christmas week.
was arrested near Auburn and brought
here yesterday for a preliminary trial.
On arrival here ne made full confession
of the crime. During the night he was
taken from the lookup and hanged 70 II
tree within stones throw of the center
of the town.
The crime for which Henderson was
lynched occurred on the night of December
%. when old man George Sumner, living
six miles from Unadilla, was murdered.
The murderer first set fire to Mr.. Summers
barn. The glare from the flames aroused
the old man and he rushed FROM the house
to protect his barn.
AS soon as he emerged from the house
he was shot down and then the murderer
ended his work by shooting him several
times more. While the old man was gasp
ing his last the fiend entered the house and
attempted the assault on the young lady +,
who had been aroused by the shooting.
The negro was Identified by Miss Sum
ner and posse started in hot pursuit. The
chase was not abandoned till the fiend
was captured.

Another difficulty notless serious, sprung
primarily from the same cause.-the ad va
loren duty. Not only had market values
been demoralized in the manner In dicated
but they had been further obliterated by
the systematic consignment of goods at
prices lower than the cost OF manufacture
abroad and their sale in this country,
duty paid, at less than the cost of manu-
facture here.
Tie manufacturer did not eamBlan
of the rates OF duty accorded him by the
present tariff; he complained of the form
in which those duties were assessed and
of the manner in which they were Col
lected. He objected also TO the dividing
lines in the levying of an ad valorem
duty, and particularly to the dividing
line in the present tariff at so cents a
pound, ingeniously thrust into the law
at what had proved to be danger point
In the present market conditions, to in
vite and tempt importers to save 10 per
cent in these duties by an undcrvaluauon,
Which in many instances need not exceed
or 3 cents per pound.
The manufacturers he said, did not
resist the restoration Of the wool duty.
They affirmatively favored reasonable
duty on wool, because they believed in
the policy OF protection and were willing
to make sacrifices in order that that policy
might be applied TO all products which
need it.
