The devious processes of courts and tue circumvention of justice in the name of law was never more conspic. uously marked than in the Durrant case. The murder of Blanche Lamont, the crime of which he was convicted, was committed April 8, 1894, and d. though since the trial there has never been a shadow of doubt of Durrant's s guilt, nor question that he did not receive an impartial hearing, yet his attorneys by taking advantage of the quiddities of the law, have succeeded in defeating the execution of the sen tence for almost three years, and have now secured further lease of life for their red handed client. There appears to be no hope for Durrsnt's escape. Ultimately he will pay the penalty for his crime by forfeiting bis worthless life, but decision in his case can not be expected within seven months md 1t will more likely be several months longer before tue court of last resort renders judgment. Court procedure has become 50 complicated in this country as to seriously impede ard ofttines defeat the action of justice.

Naturally, the fact creates comment that the journals devoted @ to the live stock interest are the ouly publications in Arizona which support the new stock law, while several of the most re- liable and influential newspapers pub. lished in the territory condemn the law in unstinted terms. The stockmen of the territory know little about the law, but many of them are complying with the provision in regard to the transfer of brands from the county records to the territorial brand book as precau- ton against misunderstanding and con flict certain to arise if the attempt is made to enforce tue arbitrary pro- visions in respect to sstrays, seizure and sale of cattle and prosecution of owners whose brands have not been recorded at Phoenix.
 Aside from the sections of the law ill regard to brands and their registration with the sanitary board, the so called live stock papers have volunteered very little information in regard to the law. It appears to be their policy to magnify those provisions of the law which with some plausability may be considered good points, and at the same time maintain discreet silence as to its defects and obnoxious features. It seems to be especially the policy of the Southwestern Stockman to he sub servient to Colin Cameron, chairman of the live stock sanitary board, rather than to honestly and fearlessly cham pion the cause of the stockmen of the territory from whom it draws it sur- port.
 The Stockman has utterly failed to answer the criticisms of the SILVER BELT upon the live stock law, and lackiDg argument stoops to inuendo and scurrility. weapons of the poltroon. Such slIrs as the editor of the Stock. man gives utterance to always recoil on tho author, and enable the reading public to get the true measure of his little soul.

The Phoenix Herald of June 5 re- ports the death of John Dobbs, the only Arizona pensioner. In February, 1872, Dobbs, while guarding cattle, was shot by Apaches and had both arms disabled, Many years ago Dobbs applied to the legislature for relief, and ht each recurring session the bill was reintroduced and as often rejected. until the Nineteenth legislature rewarded Dobbs for his persistency and voted him the sum of $500 to be paid quar- terly for the years 1897 and 1898. The bill became law without the sigma ture of the governor. Like most of the appropriations made by the Nine- toenth, 1t was illegal.

THE FUTURE OF coppEp,

The deductions of mining journals in their especial field are not always in. telligent or reliable, as might be sup. posed. The Mining and Scientific Press in m editorial on 1.-The Future of Copper" is optimistic, and aft, IT quoting the Boston Financial News to the effect that the consumption of copper in the United States is only about 50 per cent of the normal amount, and that when business re- wives in this country there will be m absorption of stocks which will send the price of copper out of sight, con cludes that it is hardly possible that the increase in output of copper in the near future will keep pace with the in creased demabd.
 Of course any rise in the price of copper that can be maintained is de- vontly to be wished, but we do not think that the conditions of the indus try justify such hope. The prodnc. ton of copper in the United States for 1896 shows an increase over the output for 1895 of S1, 1869, l23 pounds, and the rapid expansion of copper mining in- dicates Il further increase of like pro portions for 1897. Home consumption continues unsatisfactory with little hope of increase until general revival of business takes place, which is now promised in the fall We are of the opinion that if the present price of copper is maintained through the year it will be as much as can be expected, and satisfactory to producers gener- ally. Any considerable advance of price would operate to curtail con. sumption both in this country and abroad and result in the accumulation of stocks While some slight advance may be recorded we look for con- paratively steady market.

No Liquor License Granted.

At their meeting Monday the Coun-
ty Commissioners refused to grant IL
cense to any person to retail liquor for
the ensuing six months.
When the question came up during
the morning session Commissioner
Houghtaling voted negatively while
Commissioner Foster voted atfirma-
lively, thus making it tie. Chair
man Moss declined to vote then saying
he would reserve ms decision until 4
O'Clock, at which time he announced
himself against issuing license.
Cons siderable interest was manifested
on both sides and a great deal OF
speech making was INDUCED in. The
saloon men were present with their
applications made out in due form, but
when their petitions were refused =,
under the new law giving the Commits
sioners discretionary power IN tie
matter, why that settled it and they
accepted the situation with becoming
grace and went aud closed up their
places Of business.
What the future plans and purposes
OF these men are we do not know.
Some Of them have considerable money
invested III the business, and in few
instances this is about all they have.

BabV'S Coming.

Nature intended that every woman
should look forward to the coming Of her
baby with JOY and hope, unclouded by
anxiety. Almost painless parturItion Is
quite the usual thing among uncivilized
people. Even in our own country 1t occa-
Sionally happens with women in robust
health and good condition.. 1t ought to be
the rule instead of the exception; and it is
a fact that very large proportion of the
usual pain and suffering may be avoided
by looking after the mothers general
health, and specially strengthening the
particular organs concerned in parturItion
Many mothers have been brought through
the trying time almost painlessly by the
aid of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription

earlier the better.

No Taxation for Roads.

The election last Tuesday on the
question of taxation for working the
public roads, was defeated throughout
the county. Every township voted
largely against it with the exception
OF Nutbu>h. which gave one majority
in favor of the measure.
The election was a quiet affair little
interest being taken i'll it, and a light
vote was cast. Here i'll town many
persons forgot all about it until their
attention was recalled to the matter
or failed 10 vote entirely.
The result would appear to indicate
that the people are III no humor to
vote an increased burden of taxation
upon themselves Just now. And
especially 50 when they do not know
how the money is to be appropriated
and what benefit Will be derived from
it after it is expended.
But the fact that thi. proposition
was defeated at the polls Tuesday IS
not to be taken as indicating that the
people of Vance cOunty-both IN town
as well as country-are not III favor OF
good roads. 1t means rather that
they do not take kindly to the pig IN
the BAG method of going about getting
them.
