Auditor against La Toilette in the next
State convention.
The 1ntelligencer also stated yes
terday that the State cid not admit the
truth of the pleas in abatement last
Saturday. The Intelligencer has been
very badly mixed in its dates all
through the matter, and its oracular
utterances, given with all the assurance
which ignorance inspires. have been
both misleading and laughable. The
Intelligencer is very poor counsellor
and the sort of friend one would pray
to be saved from.

Let Us Incorporate.

Kingman has long ago outgrown it's uncertainty as a town and now should take on corporate airs. The tone an incorporation would give the town would more than pay for the additional expense to be incurred. It would act the same as a tonic to the system and stir men to action. A board of trade, mining ex change and other adiuncts of a live town would follow. The streets would be i'm proved, unimproved property would be cleaned of rubbish and the back alleys would be cleaned up, giving the town smooth, cleanly, healthy appearance. People mistake the ex pense of a city government. The mayor and council receive no salary and he recorder re ceiVes the same fee as the justice of the peace. An assessor and collector re. celves fees and as the work to be in augurated would almost entirely come from road tax inside the corporate limit the people would not be taxed in excess of two or three mills. Now IS the time to agltote the proposition and then railroad to White Hills and the north from this town will be the means of bringing the division headquarter of the A & r. to this place, giving Us a popu- ulau0n of SIX or seven thousand inhabi- tants.

The plague in Bombay is attaining un- precedented proportions, and Europe is becoming alarmed lest it may spread throughout the world. It is generally admitted that the plague is filth dis ease, but there are certain peculiarities connected with it's spread. Dr. Hankin, the well known bacteriologis', who is in. vestigating the subject in Bombay, fas- tens the responsibility for carrying the infection upon rats, ants, and other ver- min and insects with which houses are infested Rats have the plague. They die and are eaten by ants, which carry the germs into the crevIces of buildings and to watertraps and sinks. Thus the poison is diffuse l, and cannot be eradi- cated except by fire.

Plague and famine are stalking arm in arm through densely pop ulated portions of the British India empire, thousands are dead or dy- ing, and the outlook becomes black CT and more terrible every day. Millions of helpless men, women and children are starving, and the famine districts, having a popula- tion of nearly 4O,OOO,O0O people, will have to depend upon the hand of charity for food enough to keep body and soul together until April or later. Other districts, with population numbering about 50, 100000 are already feeling the bangs of bitter privation from food, and this must be endured we'll on into spring before permanent relief will be afforded by nature.
