The COnstaney of d WOmsn'S Love Which Led tO Ruin and Then

The recent death of George Mon roe near the city. while carrying a universal feeling of regret over the loss of another generous old timer one of the very earliest, in short, of the pioneers of Northern Ali zona-has associated to It a chapter 'in-rLv vPOca of ones life on the border that reads almost tanciiul. fl not romantic, combining as It does the lives of two humans, a man and a woman, that time na- earn estly and zealously shielded untll the curtain of today is drawn aside. While the question may be cOnsid cred a somewhat delIcate one in dlssecting the past history of one who has gone from us forever, It may be trulhfuiiy said, however, of Mir. Monroe that his early life was an uneventful one. save lu that Te- spect which led tO AIs tearing arms in the civil war in tue Union cause on one hand and against his own kith and kil on the other. But such conditions existed so numeTously in houses divided against themselves inst like occurrences have been nearly wiped out as time speeds away the recollection of that ghast- ly period. aud the present faces us more generally and realistically in the career of men and women than the hackneyed tales of days gone, is, so far sz suqh paFfaIu tO tha bloody shir. era. So if We digress for the time and leave the dead ;o repose in silence and confne our thoughts to the living of today, tbe reader will pardon the omission of anything further of this man, save this brief eulogy of the dead-that be was true and loyal to friends, and wi,hal an energetic and good citizen.

An Important Ga SC.

Nextweek Judge R. E. Sloan of Prescott, will hold court Tn Pheni1 iu place of Chief Justice Street, who Is disqualified in a number of cases by reason of his having been asso- ciated as counsel for the litigants on one side or the other. Some of the cases which Judge Sloan will be called upon to hear are of unusual importance. One in particular re- lates directly to the future develop ment of Arizona. The Republican has referred to 1t before. It is the case of Jordan vs Maricopa county in which the plaintiff seeks to col lect two years pay for services rendered as immigration commis- sioner. The importance of this suit does not lie in the fact that this county owes Major Jordan Sl,2OO and ought to pay It, but that the validity of the law creating the board of immigration commissioners hinges largely upon the decision to be rendered. That law was passed by the Eighteenth legislature and received the earnest support and ap- proval of L. C. Hughes. then gover- nor. By a system of 22- -caliber poli- ties much in favor with the terri tOrial democracy at that time, this very useful law was permitted to become a nullity. Certain news papers in different parts of the ter ritOry stopped to uphold the Politi- cians who disliked Governor Hughes and were wreaking their vengeance on the immigration law; although this law would have resulted in more direct benefit to these newspapers than any vet passed by an Arizona legislature. they did not hesitate to roundly abuse it. Now that these political troubles have passed. the opposition to the law has subsided and fair minded people admit that its enforcement would rebound greatly to the advantage of the ter ritory. Lawyers agree that the law l. a sound one and the press is now in favor of 1t. There can be no argument that the enforcement of this law would entail a use less expense. Arizona is yet a strange country in the overcrowded east and money centers; unless there exists some organized system under government patronage of advertis- lng our resources, years must elapse before private enterprises can bring about the desired results The im- migration law was framed for this
 purpose. Arizona has already lost
 much because 1t has not been en-
 forced. If Major Jordan wins his suit there is small probability that
 the silly opposition of the various
 boards of supervisors will be con tinued further. For that reason if no other, every friend of Arizona should wish to see him wIn.-Phe- nix Republican.

PRESCOTT THE CHAMPIONS
The Mountain Boys Put up a Lively
 Game Of Foot Ball at PhenIx.


 The game offcot ball on Saturday between the Prescott and Phenix teams for the championship of the territory resulted in q great victory Tor the Prescott team the score standing l6 to 0 in its favor at the close of the game. The team of the Capitol city had but recently de feated ;be Huachuca team by a score of 10 and had also defeated the Indian boys and entered the game confident of succ ass but the mOuntaineers proved too much for for them although the Phenix team proved game to the last and never capitutated or surrendered but fought the game to a finish.
 The following report of the game Is taken from the Gazette:
 There is but one set of foot ball players in Arizona, and its name is the Prescott foot ball team. On their own ground. flushed SIth victories over the Indians and Ft. Huachuca, PheniA failed to score agains; the inviucible giants from Yavapai. There never was any doubt from the first call of play ball' to the last call of time" as to which was the better team. Phenix may, and probably can, place a better team m the field. but yesterdays team represented Phenix, and we must reluctantly admit that as foot bali players We are not Tn It with Pres cott.
 The score-l6 to 0-may not ex- actly represent the true worth of the respective teams, but Phenix had no right Co expect to score, and some praise is due them, that by their almost bull dog tenacIty and grit they prevented a greater score for Prescott.
 Prescott played the game out without any change of men. In the second half. Stroud took Sanford's place, Parish took Wynkoop's and Baird took Waters's position. Phe- nix lost those three men by injury.
 There are no excuses to be offered. Prescott won, won fairly aud square Y. because they had the better team. both individually and collect ively. Of Harry Campbell it is superduoUs to speak He is the hottest half in these d'Sgings. His side partner, Ben DeLanty, is not slow himself. His line bucking on New Years day was a feature to be remembered. He and his brother Warren have reason to feel proud Of the Prescott foot ball team. They were the original organizers of Pres colt loot ball players, and by stay I-g with it through defeat and dis enlargement they have built up the champion foot ball team of Arizona.

 Brother Banta says the Prescott papers have studiOusly avoided fur nishing tax payers with facts con cernrng the county's expenses. Now, if this would be censor of the press reads the Prescott papers, he will find an itemized list of expenditures regularly published, as passed upon by the board of supervisors. Mir. Banta. however, seems to Ike tU pose as the know all, and the only enc who knows anything, concerning early time histor- of the territory, and in his putfed up egotism becomes censorious in his posing. After all. if it grstifes his vanity, 1t does not hurt any one else. When the Al mighty created Arizona, he made a mistake by allowing any one in it except Banta-accordiRg to his own estimate of himself.

Hamblen, describing, from fifteen years per sonal experience, the daily life and disasters of a railIoad workman. MT.

He knows the life of the railroad as thoroughly as he knows the life of the sea, and his forthcoming papers cannot fail to be interesting. The first will give his experiences as brakeman in the yard and on the road. The papers will be illustrated W tn drawings from life by W. D. Stevens.
 The hearing of the injunction case in the matter of the Yavapai County Railroad and Redemption bonds, was commenced in Phealx Tuesday evening. One of the con tentions which it is said will be raised in this case is that the loan commis- sion was abolished by an act of Con- gress of June, 1896, which, though it broadened the provisions of the funding act, limited its operation to January 1, 1897, since which time there has been no funding act and consequently there could be no loan commission. This construction has never been placed upon the law before, and has never been enter tained before so far as is known by any lawyers.

The Yavapai county bond case came up again before Chief Justice Street Wednesday night in the dis trict court. J. C. Herndon, on be- half of Yavapai county and in sup port of the injunction brought against the loan commission, made the opening argument. He attack ed the proposed issue of bonds on the ground that they were not rep resented by bonds of value issued by the county and that the county county supervisors had not asked for their refundinS.
 Attorney General Frazier opened ou behalf of the territory in sup. port of the proposition to refund the bonds.
 The argument was concluded before Chief Justice Street at 9:2C o'clock Thursday morning.
